Whoosh~

 

One after the other, Ethereal Stage experts gathered around them, numbering more than sixty. Their huge auras turned into a cage, trapping all of them in the middle. 

 

Their hearts sinking, the girls looked at the savage faces they each had and shook. These were the highest powers of the sect. Alone, Zhuo Fan could beat them, but not like this.

 

The girls were worried for Zhuo Fan, but he and Kui Lang were calm as ever. Not even Dan’er twitched. As if it was all in the plan.

 

Dan’er sneered at those elders even, rolling her eyes.

 

[Ganging on? We’ll show you the real meaning soon enough!]

 

“Zhuo Fan, there’s nowhere for you to run!”

 

Seeing that help was here, Xuan Shaoyu regained his ego. Struggling to get to his feet from the heavy wound, he cackled, “Ha-ha-ha, weren’t you tough? Let’s see how tough you are in my home! Men, finish him!”

 

Xuan Shaoyu ordered and the elders were about to act, but Sect Leader Xuan held them back.

 

Ignoring his clueless son, Sect Leader Xuan eyed Zhuo Fan, “Hand over the stones and I’ll let you go.”

 

“Father…” Xuan Shaoyu cried out but Sect Leader Xuan waved him off.

 

With an evil grin plastered on his face, Zhuo Fan said, “Sect Leader Xuan, you take me for a three year old? If word got out that Mystical Heaven Sect not only wanted to kill me from the start but now wants to rob a mere disciple of his sacred stones, the whole western lands will look down on you. Would you actually allow that to happen? Ha-ha-ha, in the end you’ll still use power to have your way. I’m no fool, so please don’t insult my intelligence. No one would believe you.”

 

“Zhuo Fan, your biggest flaw is that you’re too clever. It would’ve been so much better if you just died without knowing so much.”

 

Sect Leader Xuan’s brow shook, “Since you already guessed it, then no more mincing words. I’ll just have to search your corpse for my prize.”

 

“Are you sure you’ll find them?”

 

“Ha-ha-ha, even if I don’t it won’t matter. In the end, an astute man like you won’t ever leave this place alive!” Sect Leader Xuan shouted, “Everyone attack! Kill him at all costs!” 

 

The others roared and converged on Zhuo Fan, unleashing their souls and surrounding the Almighty Scarlet Dragon King.

 

The thick bloodthirst had even Almighty Scarlet Dragon King shaking.

 

Zhuo Fan raised an eyebrow and waved, “Sect Leader Xuan and the mighty Mystical Heaven Sect is ganging up on someone. My, if only the world knew…”

 

“You’re wrong. No one will know with you dead!”

 

Sect Leader Xuan had a nasty smirk on his face, “Western lands will soon find out the best talent in western lands, Zhuo Fan, invaded Mystical Heaven Sect in his madness to violate and kill a female disciple, causing havoc through our sect. The elders fought to contain you but the demon was berserk and had no choice but to put him down. Not even Xie Wuyue can question that!”

 

The others were shocked. Sect Leader Xuan wanted to kill them at all costs, then make up some excuse.

 

Seeing the elders closing in, they turned serious, with the girls ready to die in this.

 

Only Zhuo Fan took it in stride, “Nice speech, but what about this take? The best talent in western lands, the distinguished and carefree Zhuo Fan, was the victim of a most nefarious ploy. The Mystical Heaven Sect planned on robbing him of the two thousand sacred stones and even killing him for them. However, the sect elders came to the rescue, carving a path of blood!”

 

Zhuo Fan’s ring flashed and fifty Demon Scheming Sect elders came out, displaying their souls with a bang as they met the Mystical Heaven Sect’s strike.

 

The elders returned to Zhuo Fan’s side with a heavy face as they watched the enemy warily. While Mystical Heaven Sect’s elders were stunned to see fifty more people coming out of nowhere.

 

“What? This kid’s ring can hold people?” Xuan Shaoyu’s eyes shook as he cried out.

 

Sect Leader Xuan shook his head, “At most, his ring can only hold these many. Calm down.”

 

Sect Leader Xuan mocked Zhuo Fan, “Your version isn’t bad, but a shame it’s not going to happen. This is the Mystical Heaven Sect. I have all the men and power I need while you only have fifty people. What’s fifty more corpses anyway?”

 

Sect Leader Xuan shouted, “Inner elders and venerables, hear my order!”

 

At his summons, the sky was soon filled with people flying over one after the other. There were hundreds of them.

 

“Zhuo Fan, today you’ll be buried along with these people!” Sect Leader Xuan smirked with pride. 

 

Xuan Shaoyu was overjoyed.

 

Yet against the tripled doubled layers surrounding him, Zhuo Fan and the new Demon Scheming Sect elders on the scene were unperturbed. 

 

They had it all planned out.

 

Laughing at the sky, Zhuo Fan lifted his ring, his eyes shining, “Sect Leader Xuan, you think only you can call people out? Ha-ha-ha, this might be your turf, but not even you’d expect, with my cautious nature, how can I come without assurances? Just to die?”

 

Sect Leader Xuan shook, his heart uneasy. Then he looked dumbfounded as the rest of the elders at what happened.

 

“Brothers have come to answer the call!”

 

Zhuo Fan’s Thunder Ring flashed blue. Lights started coming out of it and an aura covered the skies.

 

The pressure of the Mystical Heaven Sect’s group was now dispelled in an instant. When the light show finished, what came out was a shocking scene.

 

Even Sect Leader Xuan was stunned and watched agape, “E-enemy attack…”

 

In an instant, none could believe their eyes. It was not much of an exaggeration to say the whole sect was stunned. They were under attack!

 

This cry had spread throughout the Mystical Heaven Sect. Many disciples stood stunned at the news. 

 

[Where? How are we attacked with such a clear blue sky?]

 

[Besides, isn’t the array on? Where are the attacks?]

 

They were still oblivious that while an attack at night was a night raid, one in broad daylight was called an enemy attack!

 

In this situation however, the critical point here was who the enemy was, and whether it could threaten them.

 

Zhuo Fan and Kui Lang were looked down upon by Sect Leader Xuan. Zhuo Fan called fifty helpers yet Sect Leader Xuan still did not call out.

 

But now, he shouted this and proved they had the power to threaten the sect. And this power was now within their prized array defending the sect. They were in their home. 

 

This attack out of the blue was just too inconceivable for the disciples to understand and prepare against accordingly. This was a concealed danger for the future…

 

“H-how is this possible?” Xuan Shaoyu looked dumbstruck at the army, “Where did they come from? And so many! How can he hold so many people in his ring?”

 

The girls were looking shocked as well. The once clear sky was now covered by a sea of people, in the tens of thousands.

 

It was literally an army.

 

[How can this be? A mere storage ring held an army on standby?]

 

Everyone gasped at Zhuo Fan and at his ring. 

 

[Where did this guy get that kind of treasure? That’s too outrageous!]

 

Didn’t that mean he could strike anyone with an army whenever, wherever? 

 

[This is freaking unheard of!]

 

How would they know that Kunpeng reforged the ring into a sacred ring? Its space was not only huge, it could even hold a nation!

 

This was not the point though, the crux here was Zhuo Fan got the army and hundreds of Ethereal Stage experts from Demon Scheming Sect to easily slip past Mystical Heaven Sect’s array.

 

Next was obvious, a huge war on the sect’s lands. Now, only strength would be the judge as to who would win.

 

In this war, Mystical Heaven Sect’s fate was at stake. Would it perish? 

 

Ha-ha, quite possibly.
