With everyone spread out like this, most of the different sects didn’t have to engage with each other until they were inside of the Dragon Beard Valley.
That was a good thing since it wasn’t as if these sects got along with each other in the first place.
There were many different sects and they all had territory.
It was inevitable that there would be some friction between different sects.
After all, when benefits came between people, it was only natural that there would be friction between them. They would want the benefits for themselves and not share it with others, which is why there were sects that were close that didn’t get along.
Some were placed near each other and some were placed far away from each other, so it didn’t matter that much.
They did what they could to annoy each other before the Demon Slaying Conference started.
Even the Love Sect was stationed in a place, but their positioning was different from the rest of the sects. That was because they were in a place that should have seen very little action since it was far off from the main part of the valley.
Everyone thought that the Love Sect would be right at the head of the charge, but then they weren’t surprised that the sect master of the Love Sect chose to be at the back.
From their impression of him, they thought of Lin Fan as someone who was cautious and shrewd, which was why they weren’t surprised that he was keeping the Love Sect away from the action.
In the first place, the fact that his only instructions for them was to spread out to make sure that none of the demonic cultivators escaped was already a sign.
All of the elders and disciples from the other sects recognized this as him giving them free reign to do what they wanted. After all, it was hard for the sects to cooperate since there were many differences between them and it was hard for them to fall under the Love Sect that easily.
Forcing them to follow his order would just harm the operation.
So instead, they thought that Lin Fan only giving the order to separate them into this net was him respecting them. It was him giving them the free reign to do what they thought they needed to do.
“It seems that we don’t have to worry about the Love Sect and its sect master after all. It seems that he’s quite the understanding person.”
That was the consensus that the elders and disciples of the various sects came to after realizing these things.
But that wasn’t the only thing that they thought.
There were looks on their faces as if they thought that Lin Fan and the Love Sect were nothing more than pushovers. Even though they had acted tough, it seemed like they were still wary of the various sects, which was why this order was given in the end.
So there were some people that were thinking about how to take advantage of the Love Sect later on.
It was just too bad that these fools didn’t know anything.
…
“While those sects are distracting the demonic cultivators, I hope that all of you will perform the tasks that you’ve been given. The tasks that I’ve given you are of the utmost importance, they must be carried out without any mistakes.”
This was what Lin Fan was telling the disciples of the Love Sect while they watched as the sects in front of them were preparing to charge into the Dragon Beard Valley.
The ones leading the Love Sect disciples were Huang Xie and Xiao Ming, who would be splitting up into two different groups since there were two different things for them to do.
Both Huang Xie and Xiao Ming had serious looks on their faces as they nodded in agreement and said, “Master, we won’t let you down.”
Lin Fan gave both of them an approving look before saying, “I know you won’t.”
When his voice fell, he turned to look at the sects in front of them.
As he did this, the disciples of the Love Sect did the same.
The reason why he was allowing them to operate on their own wasn’t because he was worried about these various sects. Rather, the reason that he was allowing them to operate on their own was because he didn’t care what they did.
That was because Lin Fan was planning on using the elders and disciples from the various sects as distractions.
They would be attacking from different directions and attracting the attention of the demonic cultivators. The demonic cultivators would find it impossible to ignore all of these experts from the various sects, so they would have to send members out to deal with these attackers.
That would create gaps that Lin Fan and the Love Sect would be able to exploit for their own plans.
In the beginning, Lin Fan already recognized that it would be impossible to get the various sects to rally behind him. These people only had their own benefits in mind, so it was impossible for them to work together to take care of the demonic cultivators.
Once the situation became dangerous, there was no doubt that they would immediately run away.
So the only thing that could be relied on was how unreliable they were.
When they didn’t think that they were in danger, they would do what they could to secure merits. They would attack the demonic cultivators and distract them just like Lin Fan wanted.
That was all that he was expecting from them.
After he finished giving the disciples instructions, Lin Fan didn’t actually follow the disciples group. He would leave the protection of the disciples from afar to the elders while he would go off to take care of something else.
After leaving the disciples on their own, Lin Fan waved his hand and there was the illusion spell that appeared around him. Once that spell appeared, he headed into the Dragon Beard Valley ahead of the others.
The Love Sect disciples weren’t lost because of this since they had already received their instructions.
They split up into two groups, one that was led by Huang Xie and one that was led by Xiao Ming.
Huang Xie and Xiao Ming both looked at each other before saying at the same time, “Good luck.”
The two of them suddenly broke out in smiles after hearing this, but they didn’t say anything else as they both turned around. There was nothing else that had to be said, all that was left was for them to take care of their assignments.
Xiao Ming headed away from the Dragon Beard Valley.
It was almost as if her group wouldn’t be participating in the Demon Slaying Conference.
As for Huang Xie’s group, they attracted much more attention since they were heading right towards Dragon Beard Valley. However, they didn’t go near the valley in the end, they instead headed towards one of the groups that was standing on the side.
When this group saw Huang Xie’s group approaching, they couldn’t help feeling wary.
The leader of this group looked at Huang Xie with narrowed eyes that were filled with hostility.
That was because they knew each other.
They weren’t close, but they had made contact with each other back in Dragon Beard City.
The one that was leading this group that Huang Xie was approaching was the arrogant young master from the jade market.
When he looked at Huang Xie, it was as if he could remember everything that had happened between them, which was why he looked at him with eyes that were filled with rage.
But the young master held himself back in the end.
Even if he was someone with a temper, he wasn’t a complete fool.
The young master knew just how important the Demon Slaying Conference was for their sect and for his father, so he couldn’t act on his own. The only thing that he could do now was follow his father’s orders.
But later…
Huang Xie didn’t care at all about the way that the young master looked at him as he walked right up beside him. Then all of a sudden, he stopped the Love Sect group so that they were standing right beside the young master’s group.
They just stood there in silence, standing there side by side.
If one didn’t know about them, they might have thought that the two groups were close.
But it was impossible to make that mistake with the way that the young master was glaring at him.
Finally, the young master couldn’t take it anymore.
With the same glare, the young master asked, “What are you trying to do?”
Huang Xie didn’t seem to notice the young master speaking to him at first, but then he casually turned to look at the young master and said, “I’m just standing here, is there a problem with that?”
Though he said it in a casual tone, the way that he said it grated on the nerves of the young master.
He had to grit his teeth to stop himself from jumping at Huang Xie.
The young master was about to turn away and ignore Huang Xie, but then Huang Xie suddenly said, “I’m just remembering the jade that I got back then, it really was a good one.”
The young master looked like he wanted to tear Huang Xie apart when he heard this.
This was just simply naked provocation.
Huang Xie revealed a faint smile when he saw the young master like this.
After all, his job was to bait this young master.
