It didn’t take long to arrive at the area where the Divine Blood Fruit was growing.
Since it was the fruit that everyone was fighting for, it was naturally right in the center of everyone.
It was in the place that was right in between the different formations that the four sects created.
So it was equidistant to all four of them.
The formation that they took was also mobile since most of what made the formation that they created was light enough to lift. At the same time, the most important part of their formations were the people that made up the formations.
That meant that as long as they brought everyone with them, they would be able to use their formations.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have set their formations so far away from where the Divine Blood Fruit was growing in the first place.
It was only because it was mobile that they set their formations so far away.
After arriving at the area the Divine Blood Fruit was growing, Lin Fan didn’t go any closer.
This place was a small hill that was on the side of this White Frost Mountain and other than the small plant that was growing right at the top of the hill, there wasn’t anything else that was there.
With the way that everything was cleared out, it was almost as if this was the only thing that could grow there.
But that wasn’t the case.
The reason why there was only this single plant there was because it had stolen all of the nutrition in the ground on this hill. It was a higher ranked plant than any other that would try to grow there, so they had no choice but to yield to this single plant.
That was because this was the Divine Blood Fruit plant.
Though it was growing out in the open like this, there wasn’t a single person that seemed like they were planning on going forward to pick it.
There even seemed like a zone around the plant that no one dared to move close to.
It was as if this was the line of scrimmage around this plant.
The reason for that was because of all the people that were here.
There weren’t just a few people that were around this plant, there were a bunch of people that were standing around the plant all waiting for the Divine Blood Fruit to ripen. All of them were looking for a chance to take this Divine Blood Fruit for themselves.
With how many different people were here, not a single one of them dared to approach the Divine Blood Fruit or else they would become the center of attention.
The moment that they stepped forward, they would be onset by all of the others that were watching over the Divine Blood Fruit.
No one was dumb enough to turn themselves into a target for everyone, so of course they wouldn’t pass this line of scrimmage and just watch over the others.
As expected, there were those from the four sects that were also sent here to watch over this.
Lin Fan recognized them right away since they were similar to the groups that he had seen before. They had the same marks as the groups that had tried going for the Nine Lives Tree.
It was the four factions that were under the four sects that had been sent to watch over this Divine Blood Fruit.
It seemed that they were nothing more than convenient errand runners for the four sects.
After all of this, Lin Fan focused on the Divine Blood Fruit that was growing on the center of the hill. Even though it was still growing and hadn’t ripened yet, he could feel the spiritual energy that was coming from the Divine Blood Fruit.
This was not the spiritual energy that a normal plant would release.
Even if the life energy of the Nine Lives Tree was converted into spiritual energy, it wouldn’t be able to match that of the Divine Blood Fruit.
One could only say as expected of an item that was fought over by the Five Great Sects.
However, his attention didn’t remain on the Divine Blood Fruit for long.
Instead, Lin Fan turned his attention to the surrounding area and the people that were watching over the Divine Blood Fruit. With the way that he was looking at them, it was almost as if he had some kind of plan for them.
Only he didn’t say anything, so Ye Qing Huan had no idea what he was thinking.
Ye Qing Huan also looked at a few people that were watching over the Divine Blood Fruit.
The way that she looked at them was as if she recognized them, as if she knew who they were.
That was because she did.
These people were from demonic sects, just like the Heavenly Demon Sect, but that didn’t mean that they were under the Heavenly Demon Sect. The demonic path was different from the righteous path after all.
The righteous path was more organized in terms of the sects and their hierarchy.
Most of the sects that existed were under the righteous sects of the Five Great Sects. Even if they didn’t want to be under the Five Great Sects, they had no choice since there was a strict hierarchy.
Those that went against the hierarchy were destroyed or seen as demonic sects if they were strong enough.
The demonic sects didn’t have the same hierarchy and even if the Heavenly Demon Sect was regarded as the strongest sect, it didn’t mean that it was in control of the other demonic sects.
Not to mention, the Heavenly Demon Sect was interested in that.
The demonic sects valued freedom more than anything else, though they usually used that freedom to do bad things instead of good things.
It was only with freedom that they could develop the way that they wanted to develop. In many cases, excessive restrictions would actually inhibit their development.
So none of the demonic sects that were here were under the Heavenly Demon Sect. Ye Qing Huan didn’t have the authority to order them around.
Though if she really did, they would most likely obey her because of deference for the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The position that the Heavenly Demon Sect held in the world of the demonic sects was just that high.
The only reason she cared about the other demonic sects in the first place was because she was curious what kind of demonic sects had shown up this time.
Ye Qing Huan naturally knew that there would be demonic sects showing up, but she didn’t know exactly which ones they were. These demonic sects were just too low level for her to care about in the first place, so it wasn’t as if she was worried that they would be able to do anything.
The only thing that she was worried about was if they would leave a bad impression of demonic sects on Lin Fan.
After looking around for a bit, Lin Fan suddenly gave a nod as if he had found what he was looking for.
He suddenly turned to Ye Qing Huan to say, “We’re done here, let’s go.”
“Huh?” Ye Qing Huan was confused when she heard this, but Lin Fan didn’t wait for a single second as he started to move.
With how silent he was, there wasn’t a single person that noticed him suddenly jumping out of the tree that the two of them were in.
There was a sliver of bitterness that was on Ye Qing Huan’s lips as they curled slightly upwards.
She couldn’t help feeling a bit strange since…
Well, this was what she had been doing to Lin Fan and now he was doing it to her.
She had been leading him on like this the entire time because she had found it interesting, but it certainly was strange for her to be treated like this by Lin Fan now.
It really was a strange feeling when the shoe was on the other foot.
Still, that didn’t mean that she had to remain silent.
Ye Qing Huan jumped up and followed Lin Fan, but the moment that she caught up to him, she immediately asked, “What are you planning to do?”
Lin Fan didn’t keep her in suspense like she had done to him and just said with a smile, “It’s time to make them fight.”
Ye Qing Huan was very confused to hear this, but she didn’t show any hesitation as she kept asking her questions. It was different for Ye Qing Huan since she was higher in position in the first place, so there was nothing holding her back from asking the questions.
Lin Fan didn’t answer any of these questions and just said, “Wait and see.”
Ye Qing Huan raised a brow, but that didn’t stop her from asking more questions.
She really held nothing back when she was with Lin Fan.
Too bad that he didn’t answer any of the questions that she asked.
Instead, Lin Fan was busy giving orders to something that was in his sleeve.
…
“Roar!”
It wasn’t just a single roar that rang out, but several different roars that suddenly rang out.
All of the people who had been watching over the Divine Blood Fruit were completely caught off guard by these roars that suddenly rang out through the air.
They quickly looked in the direction that the roars came from and found that…
There was a wave of spirit beasts that were charging in their direction.
