I Don't Want To Defy The Heavens

Chapter 457: You Will Return

Xu Yuanming didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

No matter how he tried to imagine things, he didn’t think that Guyuan would actually have such a plan.

Starting a war between the four alliances and then trying to benefit from it… No wait, Guyuan wanted him in it too, but for some reason, he found this really dangerous.

He was really scared that Guyuan would betray him.

If Guyuan knew what Xu Yuanming was thinking, he would grumble about the fact that he had treated him as a true friend while he was thinking about how he would betray him. Couldn’t he trust him a little more?

Martial Path Mountain.

Gou’zi served Young Master, as usual, washing clothes and cooking dishes. Of course, to let Mu Gang learn and take over things, Gou’zi reluctantly passed the duty of washing the undergarments to Mu Gang.

As for letting Mu Gang get close to Young Master, that was definitely impossible.

He wouldn’t allow Mu Gang to tempt his Young Master just to climb in position.

Her status was far from that of Lin Fan’s.

Liang Yongqi stood with his hands behind his back and walked around Martial Path Mountain. His talent was recognised by Zhang Tianshan and he praised him as a formation technique talent. If he worked hard, he would definitely become a master in it.

He had just walked out from the pain of losing his family.

The youth disappeared without a trace and it was useless to think too much about it. As long as he worked hard, he would be able to take revenge for his father, brother, and sister.

“Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother.”

The Long Rainbow Sect disciples all greeted him respectfully and it was obvious that they were already immersed in the Martial Path Mountain culture.

“Eh.”

Liang Yongqi nodded in acknowledgment. He continued to look at them with much envy. How did they all become so strong while he was still so weak?

As the Senior Brother, he wasn’t the strongest. That just didn’t make any sense at all.

However, he didn’t think too much about it. His position had been picked up and randomly given to him, so he hadn’t lost out at all.

He thought about Yuan Tianchu and found it to be a bit of a waste.

How could a person get trashed just like that?

Although Yuan Tianchu was much better than before, he still didn’t feel right. In the past, he didn’t dare to come into contact with Yuan Tianchu as he felt that he was weird and always muttered to himself.

Liang Yongqi stood in front of the tightly-shut hut and was in deep thought. He decided to have a good talk with Yuan Tianchu to get him out of his depressed state.

He knocked on the door and it opened up.

After walking in, he saw Yuan Tianchu laying on a bunch of books. His eye bags were really heavy like he hadn’t slept in a long time.

“Junior Brother Yuan, I came here to talk to you.”

As the Senior Brother, he decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with his junior brother to try to save him. After all, that was what a Senior Brother should have done.

Martial Path Mountain, main hall.

Zhu Shen said, “Now, the four alliances are having an intense battle. This is a calamity to all of us as the Alliance Headquarters are starting to make a move. In just a short while, their territories are going to expand.”

Lin Fan didn’t care about this matter and he just wished that the war would get more and more chaotic. Even if the four alliances turned the world upside down, it would have nothing to do with them.

Those damn top sects. You deserve this for what you have done.

*　　*

“Who cares? Just let them fight while we develop ourselves. Now that we are in control of 1,000 miles, we can also develop outwards. But I would like to know where my father is and also where Old Wu is. Is he working together with my father?”

This was what Lin Fan was thinking about.

As for cousin, he didn’t have to bother much about his cousin. With the faith thread and him transmitted power over, cousin’s cultivation had reached Dao Realm. He definitely faced his own lucky encounters and he didn’t need to be too worried about him now.

Zhu Shen obviously didn’t know where Master Lin was. Unless Master Lin appeared himself, it was impossible to find it.

However, he didn’t worry much about it for now.

Since the four alliances were in a war, that meant that they had no time for Young Master Lin. Being hunted down was a problematic thing but it was much better now. To those people, the most important thing was to start a war and everything else didn’t matter.

“Young Master Lin, we are expanding a little too quickly and it is a problem if we attract attention.” Zhu Shen was a little worried. He didn’t know how strong Lin Fan was.

This was a really helpless situation.

Lin Fan said, “What problem could there be? You don’t have to worry as things are finally different from before, so if they really want to fight us, that will be when they regret it. The most important thing now is for me to find my father. Tell Zhang Tianshan to make a portrait and I am going to search for him.”

“It might be hard to find but I believe that when I expand wide enough, then my father won’t have anywhere to hide.”

Zhu Shen was stunned and cold sweat fell off his pig head. His Young Master Lin really had ideas and really dared to think about all of those things.

Lin Fan looked at Zhu Shen and asked, “Don’t you think that my words make sense?”

“It does, it really does. Young Master Lin, I realized that you really are a talent, a genius, a true anomaly.”

Zhu Shen raised his pig claw which was his way of raising his thumb to praise him. If not, he really didn’t know what to say.

Respect?

That wasn’t it.

During this period of time, what Lin Fan didn’t know was that the powers that he chased out were all really unhappy.

Damn.

They were all the local powers in the area, so what gave him the right to chase them away. Was it because he was so strong?

If that was the case, then wasn’t that a little too much?

They were unwilling to accept it and felt that Lin Fan was a little arrogant.

Thus, after they left they started to promote Martial Path Mountain. Of course, naturally, they didn’t promote how strong and amazing they were.

Otherwise, what if they terrified other people?

But they promoted the fact that Martial Path Mountain had a treasure and they saw light cover the entire land. The entire sky was covered by the bright light, so how could that be an ordinary treasure?

As for when others asked them about Martial Path Mountain’s strength, they would say that it was just so-so.

To them, things were really simple.

They had to lie to everyone they could and if someone could kill those from Martial Path Mountain, then that would be for the best.

Especially Moon Gazing Sect.

Sect Leader yielded too quickly. He told the disciples that good men didn’t care about current losses and had to think about the future. He didn’t want them to sacrifice for the sect so early on.

They still had a long future ahead of them.

They wanted to cultivate and then snatch back the sect, trample Martial Path Mountain beneath their feet, and make them regret what they had done.

Moon Gazing Sect Sect Leader knew how to charm and brighten up the atmosphere.

All the disciples clenched their fists and reluctance appeared in their lost eyes. However, they wouldn’t lose their hopes for the future.

Some of the disciples teared up as they said goodbye to the sect leader. They were about to go on an adventure, take risks, and increase their cultivations. In the future, they would step on clouds and hold treasures to charge back over here.

Moon Gazing Sect Sect Leader teared up too. He heaved a sigh of relief and managed to send many of them away.

If he really kept them by his side.

Their daily expenditure would be too great.

The young had a lot of resistance and unwillingness to accept the world.

People like him had accepted everything, that this world was a strong-eat-weak world. It wasn’t something that one could solve just because one was young.

With the four alliances at war and the top sects all dragged in, a portion of medium-tier and normal sects joined in too. However, there were also some who didn’t dare to show themselves.

If the top sects instructed them to fight, they would go. Otherwise, they would hide their heads and not show themselves.

Thus, only the normal sects were interested in Martial Path Mountain.

They were attracted by the treasures.

As for the other things, they weren’t that important.

Imperial Dynasty.

“Your Majesty, the Alliance is so ambitious. They want Imperial Dynasty to use our strength to attack those sects. If this goes on, the Imperial Dynasty will suffer heavy losses.” Zu Xiang reported.

The Alliance always wanted to attack the normal sects, but no matter who attacked, there would be casualties.

King Wutong obviously know what the Alliance was thinking; they wanted to slowly whittle down the Imperial Dynasty’s strength and prevent them from becoming strong. But at the moment, the Imperial Dynasty was no match for the Alliance and even if such a thing happened, they could only accept it.

Liu Xuan said, “General Zu, war is inevitable.”

Zu Xiang stared at him in rage, “Of course, it is but the Alliance Headquarters just want the Imperial Dynasty to sacrifice ourselves. Do you think it is appropriate to send normal soldiers to attack sects?”

Normal sects had Grandmaster and God Essence Realm members. Some of the strong ones even had Five Element Realm people.

Such a realm wasn’t strong to real experts, but to the Imperial Dynasty soldiers, they were like gods.

King Wutong didn’t have many experts beside him and those who he had were all paid help. It was near impossible to ask them to sacrifice their lives.

Strength, what he lacked the most was strength.

Just at that moment, the Alliance envoy arrived and realized that the atmosphere was a little suppressed, “Your Majesty King Wutong, did I interrupt you?”

King Wutong smiled, “No, why did you come?”

The envoy said, “I came to send a message from the Alliance Headquarters. We passed three sects that we have broken into to Your Majesty, so that means that the four cities we recovered will go to the Alliance. This was decided by the Alliance and I’ve only come here to report it. Since I have nothing else to say, then I shall take my leave.”

The envoy came really quickly and left really quickly too.

The hall was really quiet. King Wutong clenched the dragon throne’s handle and as he used too much force, his fingers turned ashen white.

To him, Alliance Headquarters was going all out against the Imperial Dynasty and telling them that they were going to do whatever they wanted and they had no ability to reject. Only by listening could they live longer.

They were just bullies.

Zu Xiang felt really frustrated but when he saw Liu Xuan, who was grinning, he really wanted to chop him to pieces.

Liu Xuan had joined the Alliance long ago.

“All of you can leave.” King Wutong gritted his teeth and suppressed the rage in his heart.

The people in the hall looked at one another before leaving.

King Wutong closed his eyes.

He remembered that voice in his head.

“You will return.”
