Chapter 333: The Great Chaotic Battle
Zi Xinyue and Gu Cheng both darkened their faces as they glared at Lin Xiaotian.
“I don’t know what is going on with the Brahma God Sect, but one of my disciples personally saw a disciple of the Pure Radiance God Sect use the Pure Radiance Grand Evolution Technique! The Pure Radiance God Sect must give us an explanation for this matter!”
“That’s right. Several of my Gu Family disciples were also injured by your Pure Radiance God Sect’s ultimate technique. That’s a fact!”
Gu Cheng immediately followed up. At this moment, was the truth really important?
What mattered was that the Pure Radiance God Sect had been caught red-handed, so they had to bleed a little!
Lin Xiaotian immediately saw through their intentions, his expression turning extremely ugly.
At this moment, a group of figures rushed over in a hurry.
At the forefront was Gu Fan, his expression stern, his gaze fixed firmly on Lin Xiaotian.
This scene made Lin Xiaotian’s forehead twitch violently as a sense of dread rose in his heart.
“I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Lin Holy Son!”
Hearing this, Zi Xinyue and Gu Cheng immediately relaxed inside. So he was also a victim.
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
Upon seeing the inscriptions in Gu Fan’s hand, Lin Xiaotian sneered again.
“Don’t know? What a good ‘don’t know’!”
With that, Gu Fan suddenly grabbed a disciple from behind him and dragged him forward.
“This disciple—we spent a huge price to heal his injuries. Even now, there are still remnants of the Pure Radiance Grand Evolution Technique’s fluctuations on his body! Can you deny this?”
Lin Xiaotian instantly spread his divine sense to check, and his eyebrows twitched violently in fury!
It really was the aura of the Pure Radiance Grand Evolution Technique!
Although faint, such fluctuations could not possibly be mistaken!
Who was it? Which fool had gone around provoking enemies without the ability to silence them afterward?!
Wasn’t this deliberately creating trouble for him?!
If he found out who it was, before these three even moved against him, he would personally kill that person first!
But no matter what he thought, the current issue was how to deal with the three factions.
“Lin Xiaotian, it’s not just my Sacred Land Yaochi that was attacked. Before entering, your Pure Radiance God Sect promised peace and exploration, yet now you’re stirring up trouble. Shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”
Of course, so-called “peaceful exploration” was just empty talk that no one took seriously.
But since the Pure Radiance God Sect kept provoking the other three, once caught, they naturally wouldn’t let them off.
Gu Fan immediately added fuel to the fire:
“My disciples said that you instructed your people to impersonate disciples of the Brahma God Sect in order to sow discord between the Gu Family and Sacred Land Yaochi. Holy Son, what a brilliant scheme you’ve devised!”
Lin Xiaotian felt like he was about to suffocate with frustration!
He controlled the inscription marks with his divine sense and said coldly:
“Nonsense! Am I out of my mind to let my disciples spread such things everywhere? And think about it—if I really wanted to do this, how could my disciples possibly leave witnesses alive?”
At that moment, Gu Fan suddenly burst out laughing.
“Confidence, such overwhelming confidence! Holy Son, are you so certain that disciples of the Pure Radiance God Sect can crush all the rest of us? That killing witnesses would be as simple as you say?”
Gu Cheng also felt these words were unbearably arrogant. Especially since among the four factions, the Gu Family was the weakest. His pride was immediately stung.
“Enough talk! Lin Xiaotian, this matter will not be brushed aside so easily!”
Lin Xiaotian now understood that the truth of the matter was irrelevant. The three factions had come together solely to make things difficult for him.
“What do you want?”
“Heh, as expected.”
Gu Fan smiled and said:
“You still denied it just now, yet now you’re asking what we want… Very simple. Hand over the Burial Roots you’ve obtained!”
Zi Xinyue and Gu Cheng were both startled. Such a big demand right off the bat?
At first, the two of them had only thought of asking for thirty or fifty percent. But this new Holy Son of the Brahma God Sect was so arrogant?
He wanted to take it all in one swoop?!
One had to know that Burial Roots not only increased the chance of success in advancing to the Union Dao Realm but were also treasures universally sought across the continent.
They could be sold for an astronomical price!
In a sense, this item could be considered one of a sect’s foundations.
Boosting the chances for cultivators to advance to higher realms had deep and far-reaching effects.
And since the Linya Secret Realm that produced Burial Roots only opened once in many years, if they didn’t harvest enough this time, they would have to wait idly until the next opening…
How could the Pure Radiance God Sect possibly agree to such terms?!
Lin Xiaotian’s face grew so dark it seemed ink might drip from it. He glared at Gu Fan and said coldly:
“Isn’t your appetite far too big?”
Gu Fan shook his head.
“Not too big at all. If it were up to my temper, I’d kill you all and take them for myself. Now, by just asking you to hand over the Burial Roots, I’m already showing you great courtesy.”
These words left Gu Cheng and Zi Xinyue dumbfounded. How could he be this arrogant?
Gu Fan then turned to them with surprise.
“Don’t the two of you think the same? You weren’t planning to hand over just a little to brush us off, were you?”
Gu Cheng forced a stiff smile.
“That’s right…”
Zi Xinyue also felt that being outdone here was intolerable. With countless disciples watching behind her, how could she appear more cowardly than a newly appointed Holy Son?
“Sacred Land Yaochi… also agrees!”
Lin Xiaotian was so furious he laughed, yet he also found it all strange. Everything had shifted so inexplicably!
Before, when the Holy Son had been stronger, he had been closer with Zi Xinyue and Gu Cheng. The three of them had even vaguely formed an alliance against the Holy Son.
Clearly, before entering, the three factions had all been on friendly terms.
Yet now, after barely any time, they had turned into a united front against him…
The plot wasn’t supposed to unfold like this!
Lin Xiaotian looked at Gu Fan. He realized all these changes had begun only after the Holy Son had been replaced.
He wasn’t afraid of how powerful the Brahma God Sect’s Holy Son might be, but rather of this man playing underhanded tricks!
Right now, Lin Xiaotian felt utterly powerless. He had done nothing wrong, yet how had the situation escalated to this point?
Meanwhile, Gu Fan sneered in his heart.
People feared the strong. But with Ying Langtian now a thing of the past, the others subconsciously regarded Lin Xiaotian as the strongest among them, and thus instinctively resisted him.
As for Gu Fan… Since they hadn’t personally seen him fight, they had no direct sense of his strength.
Moreover, since Gu Fan always met them with a smiling face, he gave the impression of being more easily bullied, and so they felt less hostility toward him.
“Lin Xiaotian, hand it over. I’ll make the decision for everyone—hand over ninety percent, keep ten percent for yourselves as an excuse for your sect.”
“The three of us will each take thirty percent. Saves us the trouble of dividing it up.”
Gu Fan spoke again.
Lin Xiaotian glared coldly at them.
“Sorry. We won’t hand over even a single percent!”
Those words immediately made Gu Cheng and Zi Xinyue’s faces twist in anger.
“What do you mean by that? Do you really think we don’t dare act against you?”
Lin Xiaotian sneered, as inscriptions slowly gathered in the air.
“This is the Pure Radiance God Sect’s territory. Do you dare act here?”
“Are you not afraid that if my sect flies into a rage, you won’t be able to leave alive?”
With that, Lin Xiaotian slowly turned around, his lips curled in a mocking smile.
“If you don’t believe me, just try it!”
His arrogance was absolute.
At that instant, a terrifying fist force shot forth, tearing through space and striking Lin Xiaotian squarely in the back with a thunderous boom!
“Waah!”
Lin Xiaotian spat out a mouthful of blood, his face twisting in disbelief as he turned back around.
