Chapter 760: Goal of the demonic sect
After leaving the Minor World, they didn't remain at the Martial Might Sect at all.
It was a good thing that it was the middle of the night, which made it easier for them to leave.
Since most of the experts of the Martial Might Sect had been in the Minor World, there was no one out here that was able to stop them. Though it was uncertain if they would even want to stop them at this point.
There was nothing to gain from trying to stop their group after all. Experience tales at ???
The ones from the Five Great Sects were dead.
Even if they were to stop the ones that had done this, there was nothing for them to gain.
After all, they would have to explain to those from the Five Great Sects why this had happened.
From the moment that they lost this battle, there was only one path forward for them.
But that didn't have anything to do with the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect.
The only thing that they needed to do now was return to their own territories.
That was why the Demon Palm Sect group was escorting the Love Sect group to the border.
They hadn't come with anything, so there was nothing that they needed to pick up.
Even though Mo Xue had fought three Soul Formation Realm Experts, it seemed that he still had plenty of energy to spare as he was the one that moved them during this time.
That was because most of them were injured and some of them weren't even in a condition to move.
It wasn't as if they had gotten out of the fight unscathed, so there were quite a few people that were injured.
Eventually, they had no choice but to stop and settle for the night.
This was a clearing in the middle of nowhere, but it was the place that Mo Xue had chosen to rest.
It almost seemed like he chose this place for a specific reason.
There was a part of Lin Fan and the Love Sect group that wanted to keep going, but they knew that they didn't have a choice. If they were to keep pushing, there was no doubt that there would actually be casualties.
So far, there wasn't anyone who had died in the fight since everyone had been careful of their own lives. The only ones that had died in the end were the three Soul Formation Realm Experts and the two old men from the Five Great Sects.
One was killed by Lin Fan and the other was killed by Mo Xue.
Only in death would they no longer be a problem.
So in the end, they could only make camp here and heal themselves.
Once they had settled, Lin Fan went over to sit with Mo Xue.
Mo Xue was sitting alone at a fire, just staring into it without saying anything to anyone.
It was almost as if he was reflecting on what had happened.
It was only when Lin Fan sat down that Mo Xue looked up at him with a smile and said, "It seems like you're full of secrets, aren't you?"
Lin Fan was surprised to hear Mo Xue say this, but he just calmly said back, "Which person doesn't have secrets?"
Mo Xue gave a slight nod in response without saying anything.
Instead of continuing this topic, he changed the topic by saying, "So, what are you planning to do now?"
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this question from Mo Xue and he took a moment to look at him as if he was trying to figure out what Mo Xue meant by this.
Mo Xue just had a calm look on his face even though Lin Fan was looking at him with mistrust, as if he didn't care that Lin Fan was scrutinizing him like this.
After a moment of silence, Lin Fan just said, "We're going back to our sect."
Mo Xue didn't seem to react at all when he heard this, which made Lin Fan a bit worried.
But in the end, Mo Xue just gave a simple nod before saying, "Alright, if that's what you want."
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this.
The way that Mo Xue said this, it was almost as if he was insinuating that there was something better for him. But at the same time, it was almost as if Mo Xue didn't seem to care what Lin Fan's decision was.
There was a part of Lin Fan that wanted to question this, but he remained silent in the end.
He knew that there was nothing to gain from asking questions, so he decided not to ask anything.
It was better to just accept this and not ask any other questions.
After all, too many questions would get him involved in something that he didn't want to get involved in.
It was better to drop this matter.
But to Lin Fan's surprise, it seemed that Mo Xue wasn't planning on dropping this matter.
"What if you came back with me to the Heavenly Demon Sect." Mo Xue said all of a sudden.
Lin Fan slowly looked at Mo Xue as if he was trying to play it cool, but there was no hiding the surprised look that was in his eyes. After all, he never expected Mo Xue to suddenly say something like this.
Though he had guessed the Mo Xue was from the Heavenly Demon Sect, he had never been sure about this.
Now that Mo Xue had confirmed it, it meant that all of his other guesses were correct.
However, there wasn't a single moment where he actually considered Mo Xue's offer.
Lin Fan knew that there was nothing waiting for him at the Heavenly Demon Sect. If he were to go now, there would only be dangers hiding around every corner for him.
The Heavenly Demon Sect was different from the Love Sect where everyone would have their own goals. There would be many people that would have things against him and things that they wanted from him.
So going to the Heavenly Demon Sect was only a one way trip to death.
Mo Xue could see the look that was in Lin Fan's eyes and to Lin Fan's further surprise, he said with a smile, "It's not as if I'm forcing you to come back with me. I was just asking because I was interested in what you planned on doing."
Lin Fan was further taken aback and looked at Mo Xue with an uncertain look.
Seeing this, Mo Xue just calmly said, "The Heavenly Demon Sect never gave me instructions to bring you back. I was just curious if you'd want to come to the Heavenly Demon Sect with me."
Then with a more serious expression, he said, "I can tell that you're not normal. There are many things that you are hiding and I can respect that. However, I know that eventually that will put you on the path to the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this.
It almost seemed like a threat the way that Mo Xue said this, but Lin Fan could tell that it wasn't a threat.
Rather, it was almost as if Mo Xue sincerely wanted to help him.
After a pause, Mo Xue continued by saying, "You should know what kind of status the Heavenly Demon Sect has on this continent. You should also know what kind of resources the Heavenly Demon Sect has because of that. If you go to a place like that, there is no doubt that you will gain wings and soar across this continent."
The way that he said this was as if he was filled with respect towards Lin Fan.
However, Lin Fan still didn't show any reactions at all.
It was then that Mo Xue said, "I'll be straight with you. If you come back with me, I'll do what I can to help you gain a footing in the Heavenly Demon Sect. I'll introduce you to the one that backs me and they will certainly help you establish yourself in the Heavenly Demon Sect. When the time comes, all you have to do is wait for the resources to come to you."
Lin Fan was certainly surprised to hear this high praise from Mo Xue, but he was still cautious.
"Why would you do this?"
Mo Xue revealed a faint smile when he heard this before saying, "Why else? I want to benefit from introducing you to the Heavenly Demon Sect when the time comes. If you become big, then wouldn't I gain something from it as well? Wouldn't I be able to hug your legs when you make it big?"
The way that he said this was as if he was full of praise for Lin Fan.
This made Lin Fan feel a bit flattered since he could tell that he was being genuine, but that made him even more confused.
In the end, Lin Fan just shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in this offer right now."
Mo Xue was surprised to hear this, but he just gave a simple nod in the end before saying, "Alright, when the time comes, come and see me. I'll help you when you come to the Heavenly Demon Sect."
The way that he said this was as if he really didn't care if Lin Fan agreed or not, which made him even more confused.
Mo Xue could see the confusion on his face, so he said, "I told you that I'm not under any orders to take you back, so there's nothing to be confused about. I'm acting on my own here and if you don't believe me, you'll see in time."
