Chapter 783: The various sects
When he read through the report, Lin Fan just couldn’t find the flaw that Ye Qing Huan mentioned.
When he read through the information on it, it really made it seem like the Moon Flower Sect was very powerful. Or at the very least, it seemed that this Moon Flower Sect was more powerful than his Love Sect.
Though that wasn’t strange since these were sects chosen by the Five Great Sects for this mission.
Since they were chosen, they had to have a certain level of power that the Five Great Sects would feel assured in trusting this mission to them.
The Moon Flower Sect was a sect that had several Soul Formation Realm Cultivators and was even rumoured to have a Rebirth Realm ancestor.
With this level of power, they would have no problem destroying the current Love Sect.
That was even if Lin Fan called out the Mimic Slime since there were still Soul Formation Realm Experts that they would have to deal with.
But it wasn’t as if they would be bringing all of their experts on this mission.
The reason they were chosen was because the Five Great Sects wanted to keep a low profile, so it wasn’t as if they could cause a large scene. If they did, then all they would be doing is causing trouble for the Five Great Sects.
So of course they wouldn’t do something like that.
At most, it would be a Nascent Soul Realm elder who would be with them.
But that was still much stronger than Lin Fan.
It would be hard for Lin Fan to deal with them all on his own.
It wasn’t as if he could actually count on Ye Qing Huan to help him since she was from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
After not being able to find the flaw, Lin Fan looked back up at Ye Qing Huan and asked, “So what is this flaw?”
Ye Qing Huan looked at him with a smile on her lips.
It was just that this smile almost made it seem like she was teasing him.
It didn’t seem like she was planning on telling him this answer.
Lin Fan had a heavy look on his face when he saw this before giving a sigh as if he was giving up.
Ye Qing Huan finally spoke when she saw this, but it still wasn’t what he wanted to hear.
“I’ll tell you when the time comes. For now, let’s talk about the other sects.”
Lin Fan shook his head with a sigh when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything else as he waited to see what else Ye Qing Huan had to say.
Ye Qing Huan soon pointed out the second sect in the reports.
The Unfettered Sect.
This was a sect of sword cultivators that had a free style of using the sword.
It was said that there was no shape or form to their techniques, it was the kind of technique that could attack in many different ways that one would never expect. That was the true power of the Unfettered Sect’s sword cultivation technique.
But it was much more than that.
There was more detail in the report than that though.
The report stated that the essence of the Unfettered Sect’s sword style was their ability to train sword will. With sword will, they were able to control their swords however they wanted since it would become a part of them.
That was how they were able to freely use the sword as if it was an extension of their body, rather than as a weapon.
Of course, there was one thing that the report didn’t include…
It was the same as the report on the Moon Flower Sect…
There wasn’t the flaw with the Unfettered Sect’s sword art that Lin Fan would be able to exploit.
After he finished reading the report and listening to Ye Qing Huan’s introduction, Lin Fan looked at her as if he was waiting for something. It was just that Ye Qing Huan smiled at him without saying anything.
She was doing the exact same thing as before where she was keeping a key piece of information from him.
Even without doing all of this, Lin Fan had already figured out that she was doing this on purpose.
Though the reason she was doing this was still unknown to him.
It seemed like it was an important reason to her based on the way that she acted, but Lin Fan just couldn’t think of what that reason was. It almost seemed like she was playing with him at this point…but he knew that she wouldn’t do that.
There was a reason why she came to help him after all.
Ye Qing Huan didn’t say anything else about the Unfettered Sect as she moved onto the third and fourth sects.
There were Five Great Sects in total and it wasn’t as if the relationship between them was harmonious.
In the end, they were five different entities.
Even among the righteous sects, they seemed like they cooperated with each other on the surface, but there were still grudges between them. It wasn’t as if they would cooperate with each other all the time.
When it came to competing for resources, it was naturally every sect for themselves.
That meant that each of these four sects were under a single righteous sect.
That meant that they wouldn’t cooperate with each other when it came to fighting over this Divine Blood Fruit.
So part of the information that Ye Qing Huan gave him was also about the relationship between these four sects.
The third sect was the Martial Training Hall.
It was a sect that was filled with different kinds of cultivators, but it was also a sect known for creating powerful fighters. That was because they had many different techniques that would allow them to build up their foundation.
This was similar to the techniques that Lin Fan gave to the Love Sect with the sect library.
So they were considered the jack knife of the cultivation world.
There was no looking down on this Martial Training Hall.
The fourth sect…well it was better to call it a temple since it was a buddhist sect.
This sect was called the Golden Temple and it was said to train powerful buddhist monks with bodies of steel.
It was said that there was no one that could penetrate the defenses of those from the Golden Temple.
None of these sects sounded easy to deal with, but it was also very clear which of the Five Great Sects each of these sects were under.
As for the relationship between them…it seemed that they were split into pairs.
The Golden Temple was close to the Moon Flower Sect.
The Martial Training Hall was close to the Unfettered Sect.
Then there was the relationship between the pairs.
Because of something that happened in the past, the relationship between the pairs was beyond bad. It had reached the point where they hated each other and would want to exterminate each other.
The only reason that they had never done this before was because of their relationship to the Five Great Sects.
Since they all had the support of one of the Five Great Sects, it wasn’t as if they could attack each other. The moment that they did, it might provoke a fight that would cause the elimination of both of them.
Dying together was not an ideal situation for them.
So there was an unstable equilibrium between them.
Only when one sect was much stronger than the other would they try something.
M-V-L
But of course, the Five Great Sects knew this and maintained an equilibrium between these four sects.
As for this situation, it meant that there would be people competing against each other.
This was information that Lin Fan definitely could use since there was nothing better than using a borrowed blade to kill an enemy. It would certainly save him quite a bit of effort, not to mention that he was alone here in the first place.
Well, he wasn’t completely alone, but it wasn’t as if he could count on Ye Qing Huan for anything since she was from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Of course, there was also another problem with the description of these sects.
It was the same problem as before.
There was no mention of the flaws of these sects at all even though Ye Qing Huan said that there were flaws with them.
It didn’t seem like she was planning on telling him either with the way that she was acting.
So the only thing that Lin Fan could do was ask with a sigh, “What do you want?”
Ye Qing Huan’s smile became wider when she heard this.
She was naturally happy to see that he was able to pick up on what she was trying to tell him, it made things much easier.
“I want to come with you.”
“Huh?” Lin Fan was confused when he heard this, but then he realized what she was saying.
She was basically using the information that she had to trade for the right to come along with him as he went to fight for the Divine Blood Fruit…
This was definitely not something that he could allow, but…
She was already here.
Since Ye Qing Huan was already here, did it really matter if she came or not?
It might even be safer if she came with him rather than stayed here in the city…
It took a bit of agonizing, but Lin Fan eventually said, “Alright, you can come.”
Ye Qing Huan revealed the same smile that she had been revealing the entire time when she heard this.
