Over the next week, the Love Sect’s overall power increased.
With not just the Trial Tower and the Training Hall, with the help of the Alchemy Hall and the Sect Library, all of the new disciples were progressing by leaps and bounds.
It was the Sect Library that had caught the elders and disciples off guard the most.
That was because there were a bunch of preliminary techniques that were in that library.
These preliminary techniques wouldn’t allow a cultivator to reach the peak of cultivation, but it would help build the foundation of their cultivation. That was why they were known as preliminary techniques since they were techniques that one should cultivate at the beginning.
However, it wasn’t as if these techniques could only be cultivated at the beginning of one’s journey of cultivation.
These were techniques that could be cultivated whenever to help a cultivator build up their foundation, though it wouldn’t be as effective as cultivating with these techniques from the very beginning.
Still, that didn’t mean that these techniques didn’t have any use at all.
Anyone that cultivated these preliminary techniques would be able to find mistakes with their foundations and correct them, making them stronger than they were before.
The base of one’s cultivation was the foundations that they built, so anyone that had a stronger foundation would be stronger than other cultivators at the same level. This would further cement the Love Sect’s reputation as cultivators that would be able to cross levels to fight.
This would further cement the power that the Love Sect had built up.
After all, no one would be able to look down on a Love Sect disciple with this kind of reputation.
If they weren’t careful, they would be defeated by someone of a lower level of cultivation and they would lose all of their reputation.
So in the future, no one would dare fight someone from the Love Sect even if they had a lower level of cultivation.
Even the elders had become stronger by repairing the gaps in their foundations, making them much stronger than before.
Of course, everyone wanted to question Lin Fan about where he got these preliminary techniques.
These were techniques that did not come from either the Love Sect or the Hidden Dragon Sect. The elders from both sects were certain of this since they knew everything that had been brought from both sects.
So they had to wonder where Lin Fan got all of these techniques.
However, Lin Fan remained silent about this like he always did.
In the end, if he wasn’t willing to share where he got this with them, it wasn’t as if they could force him to share it.
The only thing that they could do was benefit from it.
It seemed like they would be able to develop their powers in a steady manner until…
All of a sudden, there was a visitor that came.
“It’s the Demon Palm Sect.”
The one that reported this to Lin Fan was Senior Brother Ying and not Yue Lan who was in charge of Dungeon City.
It seemed that they didn’t come through official channels and wanted to meet privately, which was why they reached out to Senior Brother Ying.
The elders of the Love Sect and the Demon Palm Sect had gotten close to each other during the time that they were at the tournament after all, so it wasn’t strange that they would have a way to contact Senior Brother Ying.
The strange thing was why they were back so soon.
It was supposed to be the calm before the storm for the Love Sect and the Mu Empire, it didn’t seem like it was something that would end so soon. Especially after what had happened to two of the Five Great Sects after the tournament.
There were rumours spread that they had been involved in the tournament, which had made it hard for the Five Great Sects to act after that.
Or at least that was what Mu Bao Bao had heard from the contact of the Heavenly Demon Sect that was watching over the Mu Empire.
So there shouldn’t have been any movement from any of the Five Great Sects since the Demon Palm Sect was also under the Heavenly Demon Sect.
They shouldn’t be here this early…
Yet here they were visiting the Love Sect and they were doing it secretly.
That meant that there was no doubt that this was on behalf of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
That meant that the Heavenly Demon Sect was making their move.
Since they were here, it wasn’t as if Lin Fan could just refuse to meet them. At the very least, he had to see what they were here for and then decide what he would do about this.
So Lin Fan went to the main hall of the Love Sect with the elders.
There were also the girls that were participating in this meeting, but they were doing it while being hidden. That way, they could watch over the meeting without being pulled into the meeting.
When the Demon Palm Sect’s representatives came in, Lin Fan couldn’t help being surprised by who it was that had come to their Love Sect.
It wasn’t just the sect master and the elders of the Demon Palm Sect who came, it was also Mo Xue, the ancestor of the Demon Palm Sect who walked in.
Lin Fan already knew what the connection between Mo Xue and the Heavenly Demon Sect was, so there was no doubt that this was related to the Heavenly Demon Sect based on the fact that Mo Xue was here.
This just made him even more tense seeing Mo Xue walk in with the Demon Palm Sect group.
When the Demon Palm Sect finally stopped, Mo Xue stepped forward all of a sudden.
Before Lin Fan could say anything, Mo Xue suddenly said with a smile, “I’m sure that you’re not happy to see us here, but there’s nothing that we can do about this.” After saying this, the smile on his face turned bitter as he gave a sigh.
Behind him, the Demon Palm Sect group also revealed bitter smiles and gave sighs.
Hearing Mo Xue suddenly say this, Lin Fan and the Love Sect elders were all confused.
They looked at each other as if they were trying to see if anyone knew what was happening, but it didn’t seem like any of them knew what was going on.
Mo Xue paused for a bit before looking up at Lin Fan again and revealing a serious look.
The moment that this serious look appeared on his face, Lin Fan and the elders of the Love Sect suddenly became serious as well. They all looked like they were ready to make a move if anything happened.
But Mo Xue didn’t do anything to them.
He didn’t even raise his hand as he calmly said, “I’m here on behalf of the Heavenly Demon Sect.” Then with another sigh, he said, “Though you could have already guessed this.”
Lin Fan and the Love Sect elders were all caught off guard when they heard this.
After all, they never thought that Mo Xue would suddenly open up with this.
In the end, Lin Fan just gave a simple nod in response before waiting to see what else Mo Xue had to say.
Mo Xue revealed a faint smile seeing this, but he didn’t seem offended as he said in a calm voice, “The Heavenly Demon Sect has a mission for you.”
This time, Lin Fan and the Love Sect elders couldn’t remain as calm as before.
All of them deeply knitted their brows the moment that they heard this as they looked at Mo Xue as if they were trying to figure out if he was being serious or not. However, Mo Xue had a very calm look on his face as he looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was silent for a while before suddenly asking, “Why?”
Mo Xue revealed a faint smile that had a trace of praise in it.
It was as if he admired Lin Fan for being so quick witted that he could see through the hidden meaning of his words.
“It’s a repayment.”
Lin Fan knitted his brows even more, but some of the confusion that was in his eyes suddenly disappeared when he heard this.
It was as if he understood why Mo Xue had said what he said in this manner.
After looking at Mo Xue for a bit, he suddenly asked, “Is it because of what happened at the tournament?”
Mo Xue gave a slight nod without saying anything.
The elders all looked at Lin Fan with confused looks when they heard this, but he didn’t explain anything as he just kept looking at Mo Xue.
Seeing the way that Lin Fan was looking at him, Mo Xue gave a shrug and said, “I don’t have a choice in this matter either. This time, the orders came down from a place that was much higher than my position.”
Then he suddenly closed his mouth and revealed a serious look.
It was as if he was implying that he couldn’t say anything else or else…
Lin Fan understood this, so he said with a sigh, “I understand.”
The fact that Mo Xue had chosen to enter in this way and tell him like this was already his way of showing respect.
Since Mo Xue was showing this respect, it wasn’t as if Lin Fan was making things harder for him.
So the only thing that Lin Fan could do was accept this mission from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
