Chapter 1948 - 1945: Fifth Faction
Humph!
Tuoba Tianci’s face turned frighteningly dark, his teeth clenched and his body trembled. Because he couldn’t accept this failure.
However, now was not the time to act, he could only let out a cold snort and quickly leave.
The Ten Thousand Thunder Saint Heir turned into a bolt of lightning and left.
He didn’t want to endure further humiliation here, but he decided to resolve the matter after the Stone Gambling Conference.
Although the others envied the Divine Crystal, they didn’t dare take action against Lin Xuan now.
Because Lin Xuan had become a coveted figure; the Ten Thousand Thunder Sacred Land, Five Elements Sect, Ouyang Family, Huangfu Family, and other top powers extended olive branches towards him.
Yet, Lin Xuan graciously declined them all. He had other important matters to attend to, namely heading to Wan Chu Sacred Land.
Half a day later, to Lin Xuan’s surprise and delight, Wan Chu Sacred Land also sent their people.
Like other families’ sacred lands, their invitation was for Lin Xuan to visit Wan Chu Sacred Land.
Considering the request, Lin Xuan thought it over and then nodded in agreement.
It was perfect since he had been planning to visit Wan Chu Sacred Land, and their proactive invitation made it even better.
The following days, Lin Xuan didn’t continue with stone gambling, as his fame was too glaring.
Instead, he stayed at Murong Qingcheng’s little cottage.
The two of them discussed love and philosophy, leading a leisurely life.
Finally, the grand Stone Gambling Conference concluded, and the strong from the Five Great Holy Lands, Tuoba Family, Ouyang Family, and Huangfu Family were invited by Wan Chu Sacred Land.
Lin Xuan was among them.
Wan Chu Sacred Land, the Absolute Sacred Land of the Southern Domain.
Upon entering Wan Chu Sacred Land, Lin Xuan wasn’t in the mood to admire the mountains and rivers or the Immortal Realm-like scenery; he was always communicating telepathically with Liu Ming Yue.
Liu Ming Yue was equally excited, even though she was in the Black Soil, her Soul Power had already extended out.
She hadn’t imagined Lin Xuan could enter so quickly, catching her off guard.
Once Wan Chu Sacred Land’s people invited Lin Xuan and the others from the Five Great Holy Lands and the three Spirit Seeking Master families, they were arranged to rest on the mountain peaks.
The purpose of this invitation was for the middle-class sects from several Great Holy Lands to exchange ideas.
Furthermore, Wan Chu Sacred Land had a few stones, inviting these top powerful Spirit Seeking Masters to observe.
To deduce whether or what kind of treasure was contained within?
Lin Xuan temporarily stayed.
He didn’t know that within Wan Chu Sacred Land, there stood a giant mountain like a Heavenly Sword.
This was the mountain of the Fifth Faction.
On it were masters of the Fifth Faction.
In some of the enormous palaces there, several powerful figures opened their eyes, stars flickering in their gaze.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
These top masters furrowed their brows: "Why do I sense the presence of that Liu Ming Yue?"
"Indeed, according to the Array’s display, that wench seems to have come to Wan Chu Sacred Land."
"How can it be possible? We’ve laid a Heaven and Earth Net in the Southern Domain; even a fly wouldn’t get in. How did the other party get in?"
"Unless it’s related to the Stone Gambling Conference?"
"In the past few days, our Sacred Land has invited many people in. Perhaps that wench has mingled among them."
"Damn it, we must find her! She can’t meet with the Seventh Pulse."
Orders were issued, and Fifth Faction members moved secretly.
Not only them, but the Seventh Pulse was also overjoyed.
The Fifth Faction had Arrays to detect Liu Ming Yue, and so did they.
Moreover, they were more concerned, for Liu Ming Yue was their future hope.
Thus, upon Liu Ming Yue’s entry into the Sacred Land, they sensed it too.
Instantly, they deployed strong figures to secretly meet with Liu Ming Yue.
At night, stars twinkled.
On the mountain peak, a refreshing breeze arrived, slightly chilly.
Lin Xuan wasn’t with Murong Qingcheng, as he was still concealing his identity.
Murong Qingcheng was the Saintess of Yaochi Sacred Land, and in front of everyone, they couldn’t be together.
So, he chose a mountain peak himself.
"How’s it, is it done?" Lin Xuan asked.
"It’s done. I’ve already communicated with the Seventh Pulse, and they should come to pick me up soon." Liu Ming Yue’s voice transmitted from the Black Soil.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Void above them churned like the sea, rippling quickly.
Mysterious forces surged in all directions.
Instantly, a figure clad in black appeared in the Void.
He resembled a specter, surrounded by pitch-black black holes.
Though incredibly powerful, he hid his aura well, not disturbing other masters.
However, Lin Xuan’s Soul Power was immensely strong, sensing instantly.
In the next moment, he looked up fiercely, his pupils contracting.
"They’ve come!"
Lin Xuan was incredibly shocked; he hadn’t expected them to find him so quickly.
Judging by the murderous intent, it was certainly not Liu Ming Yue’s sect but the Fifth Faction.
"Liu Ming Yue, you wretch, who’d have thought you could get here, truly unexpected!"
"But I’ll never let you meet the Seventh Pulse."
A cold voice echoed with biting murderous intent.
Soon, all around the mountain peak, figures clad in black appeared.
Their presence terrifying and powerful, their hands formed seals, emitting peculiar energies that formed a massive Array, enveloping the entire mountain range.
"This isn’t good!"
Seeing the Array, Lin Xuan frowned deeply.
He naturally sensed it was an isolation Array; the outside wouldn’t feel the battles happening here.
In the next instant, he quickly summoned the Dark Red Divine Dragon, commanding it to Break the Array.
Simultaneously, Lin Xuan roared, his aura bursting forth, a streak of Heavenly Sword Energy shooting upwards.
Boom!
Yet, the black-clad figure above coldly shouted, his palm slapping down, a large hand appearing out of thin air.
Like a mountain, it collided with the Heavenly Sword Energy, shattering the myriad sword energies.
Along with it came the imposing presence of Great Power Level and an overwhelming force.
"It’s useless. Before me, you’re merely ants."
"Today, you’re not going anywhere!"
"Kill them for me!"
At the command, the surrounding black-clad figures moved swiftly.
Boom boom boom!
Half of the black-clad figures formed seals with their hands, maintaining the Array. The other half unleashed powerful energies, transforming into black bolts of lightning, charging at Lin Xuan.
Whoosh!
Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, dozens of Sword Qi flying out.
Simultaneously, Liu Ming Yue also emerged from the Black Soil, showcasing her formidable strength.
Boom boom boom!
The two sides clashed, shaking heavens and earth.
Yet the Array concealed everything, making the mountain peak appear calm, without a trace of disturbance.
Outside, however, several streaks of light emerged in the sky.
