Chapter 281: Who Is This Person?
Kacha!
“A bunch of trash.”
They were just too useless; the rage points they gave were too few. Lin Fan, who was feeling a little proud, didn’t care about it at all.
He smashed the equipment to pieces and threw it on the ground.
He disappeared from the spot, going into hiding. He was finding a chance to earn a huge amount.
Since he was already in Maigu City, if he left just like that it was such a waste.
Danxia Island.
An endless ocean surface, many islands were connected. There were many birds flying around them.
The location was great.
If Lin Fan took a lot at Danxia Island, he would give it a thumbs up. The pioneer of Danxia Island really had great taste.
Dong!
Dong!
A bell rang, the sounds spread over a long distance, giving rise to a sharp sound echoing across the wide ocean surface.
Many people stood in front of the hall.
At the same time, many disciples entered and found their spots. They stood straight and after waiting for everyone to gather, the Sect Leader would start to speak.
Not long later.
Danxia Island disciples all stood there with their backs straight, their eyes focusing on the Sect Leader and Elders. It was really silent. No one talked to one another and they just waited for the Sect Leader.
“All the disciples are here, right?” Danxia Island Sect Leader Dan Yongdao said. Although he was old, he was filled with energy and one couldn’t see any weakness at all.
“Sect Leader, all the disciples are here.” An elder replied.
Dan Yongdao looked at them, he couldn’t bear to, but he had to. Although it wasn’t their responsibility, someone had to do it.
“Disciples, I have gathered you all here as I have something to tell you. Things happened at the border and alien forces have invaded. As a proper sect, the sect decrees that we must be righteous. Which is why I will bring the sect to the border to fight the Alliance. Anyone who is afraid can choose to back out, I will not stop them.”
There was no hesitation.
All the disciples said, “Sect Leader, we are not afraid. Our goal is to be righteous and to defend against the enemy.”
Dan Yongdao nodded his head in satisfaction. The style and teachings of Danxia Island would never change. It was Danxia Island’s blessing to have such disciples.
But he knew that to these young disciples, Danxia Island wasn’t their lucky place.
“Those who have not spent 10 years in the sect, take a step back.”
People who hadn’t entered for 10 years, although there were some who were decently strong, they were only decent. They would not be enough to fight the enemy and even if they went, they would be cannon fodder.
Thinking for them and also to leave fresh blood for Danxia Island such that their legacy and future wouldn’t be cut off.
No one retreated. Everyone just stood there. It was obvious that those words were looking down on them and they felt like they were afraid of dying.
So what if they were cannon fodder? At least they could delay time. This time could lead to huge changes in the outcome.
“Eh?” Dan Yongdao shook his head, his tone became slightly firm as he said, “Those who have not entered the sect for 10 years, retreat.”
Under such a firm tone, some people stepped out unwillingly.
Some of them nearly reached 10, but they still had to back out.
“Technique Teaching Elder and Disciplinary Elder… You two stay.” Danxia Island read out the names of some elders. These Elders were ones that the sect couldn’t lose because they would ensure Danxia Island’s survival, so he didn’t let them go.
“Junior Brother Yongyun, you are now the Sect Leader.” Sect Leader Dan looked at his junior brother.
Dan Yongyun was stunned and then said, “Sect Leader, what is the meaning of this? Why aren’t you letting me go? Why don’t you pass the responsibility to junior brother, his cultivation isn’t higher than mine, so even if he goes with you he might not be any stronger.”
Junior Brother heard these words and was unhappy, staring, “Senior Brother, why are you talking like you are strong?”
“Initially, I stood in front of you, I saw how eager you were and let you cut in front of me. Who knew that you entered earlier, so you became Senior Brother. If I had known, do you think I would let you?”
“You…” Dan Yongyun was unhappy. No matter what, as a Junior Brother how could he be so bold in talking to his Senior Brother?
Junior Brother didn’t want to say anything. He understood that some positions couldn’t be given up.
“Enough, I am the Sect Leader, so you have to listen to me. This is decided. Danxia Island can’t be wiped out and our traditions must be passed down. Master Uncle did this too, remember?” Sect Leader Dan said.
He was walking the path of Master Uncle, but he wouldn’t regret it at all.
At the same time, this was the reason why Danxia Island couldn’t become a top sect.
How many of them could return?
That was unknown.
20 years ago, none of them did.
20 years later, no one did.
Which was why he had no hope this time.
Dan Yongyun was unwilling, those who were selected were all unwilling. They didn’t want to stay here, but they knew that someone had to manage Danxia Island. If not, what about another 20 years?
Sect Leader Dan said, “Disciples listen up, go back and make your arrangements. Tonight, we will set off from the island.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.” All the disciples replied. Their gazes were firm and showed no fear at all. Although they didn’t know what Alliance was, as long as they were doing the right thing, even if they died, they died willingly.
White Lotus Saint Purity Mountain.
In the buddhist hall.
A few monks sat there, not moving at all.
At this moment, a monk was moving the buddhist pearls and suddenly it cracked. He stopped and opened his eyes. A golden light shone and he said seriously, “Amidtabha, Old Ancestor Su is outside the mountain, trouble brews again. We will close the mountain and not care about worldly matters. We will focus on comprehending the buddhist scriptures and once this trouble ends, we will head out to purify the world.”
“Okay!”
“Okay!”
The monks were not shocked, spreading the message layer by layer. They would close the mountain today and not care about wordly matters until the calamity was over.
Outside White Lotus Saint Purity Mountain, Old Ancestor Su was prepared to head up the mountain but saw a golden light appear. A mountain just disappeared from thin air and was hidden in another dimension.
“A top sect behaving just like that.”
Old Ancestor Su took a look and shook his head helplessly.
“As expected, one cannot find Buddha in a chaotic world.”
“Haiz!”
Old Ancestor Su turned around and left. He had to persuade other sects.
He knew about the Alliance, who were determined to take this place down. Their defenses weren’t enough and he hoped more top sects could head over to help.
But he knew that the chances were low.
Top sects had long legacies, all of them were cunning. To them, maybe this was a good chance to take over everything.
Imperial Dynasty’s destruction was something that many sects wanted to see.
Very quickly.
Old Ancestor Su entered the void and headed elsewhere.
Several days later.
Lin Fan hid outside Maigu City but didn’t get any gains. This situation was slightly awkward.
It was really awkward.
“Damn, are you all coming out or not? You’ve occupied the land, so at least come out to play and give someone a chance right?”
Just as he grumbled.
Something happened.
A small group exited Maigu City, walking in an orderly manner into the distance. Each one had various tools. He didn’t understand what it was, but he just needed to know that it wasn’t anything good.
“Hehe.”
Lin Fan gave a sinister smile like he found his prey, he even started to drool.
He didn’t alert them early and waited for them to be far away before he struck. Otherwise, if he caused too much noise and alerted the experts in the city, then things would be messy.
He followed them from a distance, just enough for them to be within his control.
That small group was their professional surveying team, at the same time a dozen teachers from Guangwu College protected them.
Although there weren’t any natives around Maigu City but just in case, they still had to pay some attention.
The teachers from Guangwu College laughed and talked to one another. They were really excited about Rich Land, there were many things that they couldn’t do before but they could now.
To them, Rich Land had many hidden treasures, just that the natives didn’t know how to use them.
Moreover, as long as they returned, they would be rewarded by Guangwu College.
“I heard seniors say that the cities at the border are old. The prosperous ones are inside. Items from the natives are really expensive, it would be great if we can get some of those.”
“Oi, you are too greedy. I remember that you gained many good items this time. You took all the weapons of the Maigu City experts. I heard that some were crafted from precious stone, something that Rich Land call Heaven Crystal Stone.”
“It’s still okay, I snatched a small amount but most of them were broken, so their prices are at a huge discount and aren’t worth much.”
God Essence Realm and above experts all used Heaven Crystal Stone weapons.
When Lin Fan and the three Danxia Island Elders were at Black Mountain, the thing they saw in the deep whole was Heaven Crystal Stone. It was very expensive and was the top choice to craft weapons.
Precious materials were the same no matter where one was.
After a long while.
This team stopped at a secluded area. Wind would strike them, blowing the sand off from the ground. The surveying team used their tools while the teachers just talked to one another.
They were really relaxed, not bothering much about the surrounding situation. To them, this was their territory, so what dangers would there be?
Pata!
There were footsteps not far away.
The teachers were all not weak and when they heard the soft footsteps, they turned their heads and looked.
When they saw someone walk over.
They exchanged glances with one another like they were asking, who is he?
