Chapter 261: Chapter 141: Divine Souls Intertwined, The Army Approaches the Border (Part 2)

It floated in the void, the void like a water surface seemed unable to bear such terrifying weight and rippled.

Below the Profound Yellow Tripod, the ground within a radius of one kilometer had already sunk tens of meters, and farther away the mountains roared incessantly.

Wei Fan’s face was grim, not because the power of the Profound Yellow Tripod was weak, but because it was too terrifyingly strong.

Having become a top divine weapon, his heart and spirit could hardly move the Profound Yellow Tripod.

In his sea of consciousness, it was as if a stormy sea was raging, his illusory divine soul opened its eyes, and the Profound Yellow Tripod slowly approached his brow.

Rumble…

Finally, after a jolt in his sea of consciousness that almost split it open, the Profound Yellow Tripod appeared above his illusory divine soul.

Wei Fan only felt a splitting headache, his face paled, and it took him a while to recover after resting.

At this moment, he finally understood the power of the Great Leiyin Bell, no matter how much it improved, there was fundamentally no issue in using it for him.

“Created something I can’t use for now!”

This weight was too terrifying, even moving with the heart and spirit was difficult, making it practically unusable in battle.

Perhaps he wouldn’t even have moved the Profound Yellow Tripod out of his sea of consciousness before the enemy cut him down.

To use the Profound Yellow Tripod, his divine soul still needed to continue growing stronger.

“Luckily, I had the foresight not to temper the Profound Yellow Tripod in the Demon Suppression Bureau!”

Looking at the devastated area, Wei Fan soared into the sky and a moment later descended into his own courtyard.

…

Su City has four major first-class sects, the Divine Blade Sect, Qingfeng Sword Sect, Silver Moon Valley, and Celestial Gate Mountain.

The Divine Blade Sect had fallen from being a first-class sect because their sect guardian beast was killed and the old sect leader at the Divine Realm was imprisoned.

Among the remaining three major sects, Silver Moon Valley was the strongest and the oldest. Not only did they have more disciples than the other two sects, but their sect leader Lin Shiqi was also the strongest among the three Divine Realm sect leaders, even stronger than the old sect leader of the Divine Blade Sect.

On this day, a grand army set off from the Demon Suppression Bureau, heading towards Silver Moon Valley.

Wei Fan and Long Xueyi rode demon horses at the front of the army.

The reason for targeting Silver Moon Valley first was not because it was the strongest among the three major sects, but because Silver Moon Valley had the fewest disciples in the Demon Suppression Bureau among the three.

Even a sect like Floating Rain Sect had one to two hundred disciples in the Demon Suppression Bureau, yet Silver Moon Valley, as a first-class power, had only over twenty disciples there.

Among the three major sects, Silver Moon Valley had the worst reputation, rarely seen acting chivalrously and often relying on sect strength to bully disciples of other weaker sects.

Wei Fan and Long Xueyi, donned in Profound Gold Fish Scale Armor, rode their war horses slowly, not rushing the march.

Since they had set the tone to give the three major sects a chance and not wipe them out directly, there was no need to catch them off guard.

Half a day later, at noon, Silver Moon Valley appeared in Wei Fan’s sight.

Beneath the glaring sunlight, the distant Silver Moon Valley indeed looked like a crescent moon standing at the edge of the earth, as if a silver moon had fallen between the mountains.

In the broad and flat valley, rows of pavilions and towers were built along the mountains.

At this moment, it was not peaceful there; all disciples of Silver Moon Valley, in uniform attire, stood solemnly in the valley.

The several thousand troops of the Demon Suppression Bureau, led by the newly appointed commanders Wei Fan and Long Xueyi, marched towards Silver Moon Valley, and as a first-class power, how could they not have detected the army’s movements in advance?

“Form up!”

Wei Fan pulled up his horse and stopped, with Long Xueyi following suit.

Silver Moon Valley’s reaction was not surprising, after all, they also harbored some sneaky ideas.

The army began to stir, forming into a stance, radiating a terrifying aura of slaughter.

Opposite, all the disciples of Silver Moon Valley collectively changed color.

Judging by this posture, the Demon Suppression Bureau was indeed here to attack Silver Moon Valley.

“I am Lin Shiqi, I have met Commander Wei and Commander Long. May I ask why the Demon Suppression Bureau’s army is pressing upon Silver Moon Valley?”

Lin Shiqi’s expression was grave, frowning.

Before, when the Demon Suppression Bureau sought help, he knew they would offend them, but he didn’t expect that after they flattened Cyan Cloud Mountain, they would immediately bring their army to his door once free.

Such incidents were not unheard of before, but after refusing, the Demon Suppression Bureau didn’t react much further.

He considered himself a Jianghu sect and had no obligation to protect any territory.

Moreover, in recent years, the Demon Suppression Bureau’s power had been growing, with intentions to suppress sects, how could he possibly help the Demon Suppression Bureau in such circumstances?

The Divine Blade Sect was already a precedent; just for the sake of dozens of ordinary lives, their sect guardian beast was slain and the old sect leader imprisoned.

Who knew if such a situation would fall upon them one day, letting the Demon Suppression Bureau and the demon fiends fight each other into mutual destruction seemed the right choice.

Wei Fan’s face grew cold: “Isn’t Sect Leader Lin supposed to be in seclusion? Why did you emerge so fast?”

Wei Fan gave a cold glance, his panel tingled and flickered before him.

[Lin Shiqi: Mid-Divine Realm, Sect Leader of Silver Moon Valley, sheltered disciples’ wrongdoings, stood by as demon fiends breached human cities]

[Killing him will yield 2000 years of ordinary power, 20 years of divine soul power]

Clearly, such indifferent behavior was detestable even to the panel.

Enjoying the benefits that stability among the human race brought, abducting talented individuals, yet not offering protection in times of crisis, this kind indeed deserved death.

They were like parasites, bringing nothing but harm, and purging them was the best course.

“With Commander Wei and Commander Long leading the army here, how could I have the mind for seclusion?”

Lin Shiqi’s expression remained unchanged.

That was just an excuse, he was not in seclusion.

Moreover, with the Killing God Wei Fan leading the army here, even if he was in seclusion, he had to come out.

Wei Fan mocked: “When the demon fiends were about to break our human line at Cyan Cloud Mountain, you were unflustered and had the thought for seclusion, but you’re afraid of me with these few thousand troops?”

Lin Shiqi’s breath caught!

Even if the demon army broke the line and marched straight to Su City, as long as the Black Python Demon Lord wasn’t out of his mind, they dared not provoke Silver Moon Valley, so he had the confidence to watch the Demon Suppression Bureau and the demon fiends fight into mutual destruction.

Of course, this he dared not say out loud.

Once uttered, it gave the suspicion of colluding with demon fiends.

The other two sects felt the same; they were not unaware of the saying ’when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,’ but their relationship with the Demon Suppression Bureau was never quite like lips and teeth.

When demon fiends break through human defenses, they won’t touch the three major sects.

Despite all calculations, they never anticipated the Demon Suppression Bureau to turn the tide with only Situ Feng, not to mention slaying the White Ape Demon Monarch and severely injuring the Black Python Demon Lord, eventually flattening Cyan Cloud Mountain.

Nor did they expect the anomaly Wei Fan, within such a short time, to break through to the Divine Realm with Long Xueyi and seemingly come for retribution.

Wei Fan’s lips curled into a smile.

On the way, he used the power of heart and spirit to observe all the soldiers, noticing that some were quite averse to the Demon Suppression Bureau attacking Silver Moon Valley.

Yet, after a few sentences, many now harbored hatred towards Silver Moon Valley.

As members of the human race sects, they stood idle in times of human crisis, what purpose did such sects serve?

Even many sect disciples presently detested such behavior.

“So, Commander Wei, are you here to flatten my Silver Moon Valley?”

Lin Shiqi did not make any excuses, all were grandmasters, no one was a fool, and to quibble would be an insult to one’s intelligence.

Everyone was clear on the nature of his actions and what the Demon Suppression Bureau worried about; excuses held no meaning.

Wei Fan nodded expressionlessly: “In my opinion, sects like yours bleed the human race without offering protection and should simply be eradicated. There’s no need for your continued existence; who knows when you might stab the human race in the back.

However, Commander Situ and the Deputy Commander are benevolent and want to give you a chance.”

Lin Shiqi’s pupils contracted, it was indeed a reckoning.

But upon hearing that Situ Feng and the Deputy Commander want to give them a chance, he breathed a sigh of relief, not fearing the Demon Suppression Bureau but also unwilling to engage in conflict: “May I ask what is this opportunity?”

Wei Fan glanced around: “Take your parasitic lot and get out of Su City’s borders. Go wherever you please, as you’re not protecting the human race; Su City doesn’t need your bloodsucking.”

Lin Shiqi’s expression froze.

Silver Moon Valley’s roots were here, and all its disciples were from Su City; leaving meant being uprooted, and key point, there was nowhere to go.

In this world, which place didn’t have a sect?

Going elsewhere meant competing for resources and disciples with existing powers, conflict was inevitable.

Lin Shiqi roared out, “Impossible, Silver Moon Valley has been rooted here for hundreds of years, leaving would mean the sect’s extinction.”
