Chapter 668: The Battle Begins
A Deputy City Lord of Cloud West City stood up and said, "Old City Lord, City Lord, if it really comes to it, we'd rather go all out against Xiangtian Sect, even if it means mutual destruction!"
Someone immediately said, "Yes, let's go all out and fight with Xiangtian Sect!"
One after another, the high-ranking officials stood up, each with an indignant look on their faces, continuously saying, "Let's fight, let's fight..."
Under these circumstances, most of them had bloodshot eyes.
They all knew that Cloud West City was no match for Xiangtian Sect, which is why they had all decided to fight desperately.
Hu Feifan hurriedly tried to stop them, saying, "Don't act rashly; there might still be other ways..."
Before Hu Feifan could finish his sentence, someone ran in and said, "Old City Lord, City Lord, Young Master has returned!"
"Young Master?"
Upon hearing these two words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
The person continued, "Young Master Lin Fan has returned!"
"What? Young Master Lin Fan is back? That's great!"
Upon hearing this, everyone became extremely excited.
In terms of strength, most of them were more formidable than Lin Fan, but they still felt that Lin Fan was their backbone.
Because Lin Fan had many mysterious abilities that could turn the tide of decay into something miraculous.
At that moment, Lin Fan walked in.
Seeing Lin Fan come in, everyone stood up and said, "Young Master Lin Fan..."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "There's no need to stand on ceremony, please sit down, let's talk while seated."
Lin Fan didn't stand on ceremony himself, taking a seat at the head of the hall.
After everyone had seated themselves, Lin Fan looked towards Hu Feifan and asked, "Tell me, what exactly is going on? Why has Xiangtian Sect surrounded Cloud West City? And I heard that quite a few people from Cloud West City have already died at the hands of Xiangtian Sect?"
After a moment's contemplation, Hu Feifan said, "Xiangtian Sect is the lapdog of Gaitian Alliance."
Hu Feifan did not elaborate further.
But with just that brief sentence, Lin Fan understood a lot.
Basically, Xiangtian Sect was the vanguard sent by the Gaitian Alliance.
All the high-ranking officials of Cloud West City present were looking at Lin Fan, and they were very curious about how he would handle this situation.
Lin Fan nodded and said, "I see."
Lin Fan's voice was very calm, making it impossible to detect any fluctuation in his tone.
After a pause, Lin Fan continued, "In that case, since Xiangtian Sect is as such, then there's no need to keep it around anymore."
Lin Fan still spoke calmly.
However, his simple statement had already pronounced the death sentence for Xiangtian Sect.
Hu Feifan asked, "Young Master, what should we do next?"
Lin Fan didn't respond to Hu Feifan's question but instead countered, "Speaking of which, what happened to the Ultimate Rune Cannon I crafted in Cloud West City previously? It's still around, isn't it?"
Hu Feifan immediately said, "The Ultimate Rune Cannon is still here, it's just... we've already used the Ultimate Rune Cannon before, and failed to break through the Defensive Array of Xiangtian Sect, so..."
Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "You used it wrongly, so naturally you couldn't break through the Defensive Array of Xiangtian Sect. You must understand that if used properly, the Ultimate Rune Cannon can destroy anything. Overthrowing a mere Xiangtian Sect with the Ultimate Rune Cannon is no challenge at all!"
After hearing Lin Fan's words, all the high-ranking officials of Cloud West City became incredibly excited.
Because they believed Lin Fan could indeed change the tide of the battle with the Ultimate Rune Cannon.
Lin Fan then said, "Right, show me a map of Xiangtian Sect."
Someone immediately spread out a map before Lin Fan.
Lin Fan carefully examined the map of Xiangtian Sect, and after a while, he pointed at a mountain near Xiangtian Sect and said, "Set up the Ultimate Rune Cannon on top of this mountain. We'll take action tonight. Hehe, Xiangtian Sect? None of its people will get to see the sun tomorrow."
This time, Lin Fan's voice finally carried a murderous intent.
Waves of killing aura were released from Lin Fan's presence.
Hu Feifan, who knew Lin Fan best, understood that Lin Fan was preparing to embark on a mass slaughter.
Then Lin Fan continued to Hu Feifan, "Oh, and send a message to Gaitian Alliance, tell them that I, Lin Fan, am sending them a big gift—the lives of everyone in Xiangtian Sect!"
"Yes!"
Hu Feifan said respectfully.
Hu Feifan knew clearly that the battle between Lin Fan and Gaitian Alliance was truly about to begin.
...
That night!
Xiangtian Sect was very calm, with everything proceeding as usual.
Those who were cultivating did so, and those who were indulging in leisure continued their enjoyment.
As for the Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect, he sat comfortably on a tiger skin chair, with numerous young girls dancing below, and he watched with satisfaction.
There, it was a scene of song and dance.
Suddenly, someone walked in and said, "Sect Master, the Great Elder requests an audience!"
"Great Elder?"
Upon hearing these three words, the Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect's brow furrowed slightly.
Obviously, the Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect was somewhat displeased with this so-called Great Elder.
"Not available!"
The Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect said directly.
The person who came in had a troubled look and said, "But, Sect Master, the Great Elder says he has urgent matters."
The Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect said with impatience, "No matter the emergency, I won't see him. Tell him if he has anything important, to speak tomorrow."
Saying that, it seemed as though the Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect suddenly remembered something and continued, "In fact, from now on, no matter who it is, I'm not available to anyone."
Then the Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect said to the dancing girls, "Continue dancing."
The Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect returned to watching the dancing girls.
The person who came in seemed to have more to say, hesitating, but ultimately he said nothing and silently retreated.
"Such beautiful dancing, truly beautiful!" the Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect said as he nodded in appreciation, "So beautiful, truly beautiful!"
He kept nodding.
Boom, boom, boom...
At that moment, a loud noise suddenly erupted.
The entire area where Xiangtian Sect was located shook tremendously, as if an earthquake had struck.
Crack...
Then, the sound of something being torn apart echoed.
The Sect Master of Xiangtian Sect knew that this was the sound of their Array being torn.
In other words, the Defensive Array of Xiangtian Sect had been breached.
