"Bai Xiaofan, I never thought you were from the Refining Sect. What a narrow path fate has led us down. You think this time you'll have someone like Ye Feng by your side to help you?"

Duan Laoguai stared intently at Bai Xiaofan, stepping forward as if he planned to take him on personally in a fight.

Seeing this, the second elder and third elder also flew over, standing on either side of Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi.

"Duan Laoguai, what are you planning? Do you intend to meddle in the sparring among the juniors?"

The two glared at Duan Laoguai. Though Duan Laoguai was already at the late True Immortal stage, if he dared to be shameless enough to attack Bai Xiaofan, they would have no hesitation in intervening.

"Heh heh, the elder has no interest in fighting him, but since we've come to challenge the mountain, let's all join in!"

Duan Laoguai sneered, and with his words, as he waved his hand, a crowd of Purple Cloud Pavilion disciples surged forward as if from rehearsed practice, instantly filling the Refining Sect with people.

At the same time, Duan Laoguai and Zhang Huan stepped forward together, standing before the second and third elders.

"The sparring among the juniors ends here. Next, it's a battle among a few of us old timers. Are you two afraid?"

Duan Laoguai said viciously, staring at the second and third elders.

Bai Xiaofan's techniques and spells were exceedingly strange, and even Duan Laoguai did not have much confidence facing him. Especially Bai Xiaofan's Sky-Stepping Nine Steps, which was terrifying for him, and even if he could ultimately defeat Bai Xiaofan, he would certainly be severely injured.

By then, facing the second and third elders in their full strength, Duan Laoguai would have no chance of victory!

Moreover, Bai Xiaofan didn't need him to handle; before coming here, out of concern for any unknown figures in the Refining Sect, they had made preparations, now they could just use it on Bai Xiaofan.

"Huh, if you want a battle, then let's battle!"

Whether it was the second elder or the third elder, both were hotheads who failed to see through Duan Laoguai's intentions. Hearing his words, they immediately stepped forward, confronting him directly.

Bai Xiaofan helplessly slapped his forehead.

No wonder the Infinite True Immortal said these two junior disciples were unlikely to achieve great success.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaofan stepped forward, coming before Duan Laoguai.

"Duan Laoguai, are you scared of me? I'm challenging you to a duel now!"

Bai Xiaofan's idea was simple: he would hold off or even slay Duan Laoguai, while Xue Yi dealt with Zhang Huan. This way, the second and third elders would be free to command the Refining Sect's disciples in battle.

With this allocation, as long as he and Xue Yi could hold off Duan Laoguai and Zhang Huan, it's not impossible for the Refining Sect to win this battle!

Even if the Purple Cloud Pavilion deployed even stronger enemies, there's always the missing Infinite True Immortal.

"Bai Xiaofan, go join Xia Qingxuan and lead our inner disciples to fight the Purple Cloud Pavilion's forces, leave this to us two!"

However, before Duan Laoguai could respond, the second elder loudly replied, simultaneously shoving Bai Xiaofan aside.

I...

At that moment, Bai Xiaofan almost cursed!

Dammit!

It's not a divine opponent one fears, but an ally as dumb as a pig!

Couldn't he see that Duan Laoguai was intentionally avoiding direct combat with him, and instead was choosing to fight those two?

Bai Xiaofan truly wondered how the second and third elders survived to this age and reached the mid-True Immortal stage with their intelligence.

It's utterly speechless!

"Attack!"

Seeing Bai Xiaofan pushed away by the second elder, Duan Laoguai's eyes showed a hint of triumph as he shouted, and immediately a swarm of Purple Cloud Pavilion disciples rushed forward, engulfing the Refining Sect's disciples!

Helpless, Bai Xiaofan had no choice but to join Xue Yi, leading Xia Qingxuan and a group of Refining Sect disciples towards the Purple Cloud Pavilion troops.

Just upon engaging in battle, Bai Xiaofan noticed a problem.

The Refining Sect disciples' overall strength was too weak, to the point where without the aid of Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi, any area they weren't assisting would almost instantaneously collapse, unable to offer even the slightest resistance!

"Dammit, what have you Refining Sect disciples been doing these years? How is your cultivation so weak, that you can't even handle a mere Purple Cloud Pavilion?"

Bai Xiaofan dodged to the side of the injured Xia Qingxuan, helping him deal with several Purple Cloud Pavilion disciples, and couldn't help but voice his question!

"There's a gap between us and the Purple Cloud Pavilion. It's normal for our sect's disciples to not be their matches, isn't it?"

Xia Qingxuan thought Bai Xiaofan was deliberately mocking her and responded irritably.

"What kind of logic is that? Knowing you aren't their match, why aren't you focusing on cultivation, just waiting for them to come humiliate you? Haven't you thought that they have one nose and two eyes just like you, so why are they stronger? Isn't it due to your weak cultivation techniques and lack of effort?"

Bai Xiaofan found Xia Qingxuan's mindset frightening, knowing she was weaker yet not striving to improve.

This thought is akin to realizing a rival is superior in every aspect yet not aiming to make any progress!

"What can we do? The Refining Sect has historically trained with these cultivation techniques, and every disciple has worked hard, but I don't understand why we are surpassed."

Though Xia Qingxuan's tone still carried displeasure, it clearly softened, as even she realized she lacked confidence in her words!

"Watch closely, today I'll show you what it means to be invincible!"

Addressing Xia Qingxuan, Bai Xiaofan spoke, then leap into the air, ascending to the skies.

"All Refining Sect disciples heed my command!"

Surveying the area, Bai Xiaofan's voice boomed through the air, landing loudly in each ear.

All Refining Sect disciples heard Bai Xiaofan's words and, not knowing what he intended but subconsciously stepping back, creating some distance from their foes, awaited Bai Xiaofan's further orders!

"You go three hundred meters to the south!"

"You go to the northwest!"

...

Bai Xiaofan couldn't remember any names, so he could only direct them in this manner.

Initially hesitant, once Xia Qingxuan flew to Bai Xiaofan's side, signaling them to follow his commands, they promptly moved to their designated positions.
