Chapter 304: Not Much, I Only Want Half

This time, although the loss to the Holy Sect was great, considering the current state of the Nine Firmaments Sect, it was no different from annihilation.

The Sect Leader was dead, the Supreme Elder was dead, and less than one in ten of the high-end combat strength remained. From now on, the burden on Xin Feng's shoulders would be extremely heavy.

As brothers, help when you can; if you cannot, you must still give your all to help.

At this moment, on the Sect Leader Peak, the several great elders of the Holy Sect also had grim expressions. For them, there was nothing that could affect their mindset, but this matter had completely shattered their steel-like hearts.

"Lin Fan, this time the Holy Sect was able to overcome the crisis, and your contribution is indispensable. Do you have any requests?" Yan Hongyu inquired.

This time, Lin Fan's contribution was the greatest. If Lin Fan had not returned, the Holy Sect would have truly been finished, and everyone present would probably have died.

Yan Hongyu was also self-blaming. All of this was due to his own fault. He had no sense of vigilance toward Han Yongyi and never expected to encounter such a calamity.

"Sect Leader, elders, the request can wait. I only want to ask: why was the Xuanhuang Realm split in two? The Sect Leader of the Nine Firmaments Sect and the others were clearly invaded by evil entities. An evil entity capable of invading a Great Heaven Stage Grand Perfection expert is definitely not ordinary." Lin Fan inquired, knowing that the Sect Leader and the others must understand.

As a top sect in the Eastern Spirit Continent, the Holy Sect must know many secrets. No one in the world would be bored enough to expend enormous effort to isolate this world. Such ability, let alone those present, even Lin Fan, who had fused with the 'Ancient Arm,' did not possess.

At the same time, Lin Fan had many doubts. In the Xuanhuang Realm, the Great Heaven Stage Grand Perfection realm was already the peak state, but in Lin Fan's view, how could that be?

Let alone the mere 'Ancient Arm,' even the evil entity's cultivation was far higher than the Great Heaven Stage Grand Perfection realm.

And now that the 'Ancient Arm' and 'Ancient Genitals' had appeared, where were the other parts?

All of this, all of this, was a mystery.

Yan Hongyu exchanged glances with the elders, then took a breath, waved his sleeve, and from his sleeve flew a magical stone. The stone was very ordinary, showing no difference, but at that moment, the stone suddenly burst forth with a light screen.

"Everything we know, you will soon know as well." Yan Hongyu said.

Lin Fan looked at the phantom image projected from the stone, his brows tightly furrowed.

On the screen, what was displayed was the Xuanhuang Realm before it was split in two. In the light screen, a figure stood towering, proud and aloof.

"Even if we retreat step by step, the last sanctuary of humanity must not be violated."

That figure suddenly became immensely tall. Even though it was just a light screen, Lin Fan was shocked by the intangible aura, his mind shaken. If he were under that aura, he would probably vanish into smoke.

With just one punch, heaven and earth shook, the laws reversed, and a light screen completely split the Xuanhuang Realm.

And that towering figure seemed to have exhausted his strength; his body suddenly burst apart, turning into six fragments that scattered in all directions and completely disappeared.

Those six fragments, in Lin Fan's view, were the fragments of the Supreme Token.

Lin Fan watched all this, unable to recover for a long time.

Now he had obtained one fragment, but even the punch within that fragment was not as powerful as the punch from the phantom image.

Even this 'Ancient Arm' was probably no match for that opponent.

Lin Fan fell silent. When he obtained the 'Ancient Arm,' he had thought he was invincible. But now he realized that he was still insignificant, and beyond the Xuanhuang Realm, there were still crises he did not know.

"This is what we know. The Holy Sect was founded ten thousand years ago and has been pursuing the truth of all this. Our predecessors, after countless years of research, still have not found the root. Perhaps only by collecting all six fragments of the Supreme Token can the secrets be unraveled." Yan Hongyu said.

"As for those evil entities that can invade human bodies, there are no records, so they remain unknown."

…

"Sect Leader, this matter is not urgent; it needs to be taken slowly. Let's talk about the issue I mentioned earlier." Lin Fan's originally serious expression instantly changed.

"This time, to rush from the Nine Firmaments Sect, hundreds of thousands of miles away, back to the sect, I performed a sacrifice. I sacrificed half of the Nine Firmaments Sect's treasury. I feel that although the Holy Sect's losses were great, they were not as great as the Nine Firmaments Sect's. Therefore, my request is to give half of the Holy Sect's treasury to the Nine Firmaments Sect." Lin Fan spoke as if to himself, while also observing the expressions of the Sect Leader and the elders.

When the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders heard about giving away half the treasury, their expressions instantly changed, becoming very pained, as if someone were cutting a piece of flesh from their bodies.

That was the treasury! The Holy Sect's ten-thousand-year accumulation, generation after generation!

Suddenly losing half of it, anyone would be heartbroken.

If he had asked for one or two items, Yan Hongyu would have waved his hand grandly, displaying the magnanimity of a great sect leader, and directly approved. But now, asking for half was undoubtedly like asking for their lives.

"Ah, I know the Sect Leader and the elders will approve. Think about it: at the moment the Nine Firmaments Sect was on the verge of destruction, its treasury spirit, disregarding its own dissolution, offered all its treasures. Do you know what the treasury spirit said when it learned I needed to hurry back to rescue the Holy Sect?" Lin Fan looked at everyone, his face showing shock and admiration.

"What did it say?" Yan Hongyu and the others were somewhat curious. They knew treasury spirits—they were all selfish beings who regarded treasures as their lives and would not let anyone take them.

"It said: 'The Holy Sect is the Nine Firmaments Sect's eternal friendly sect. Even if it means exhausting all treasures, the sacrifice must succeed. If that is not enough, I am willing to sacrifice my life as an offering.' Tell me, is giving half of these treasures to the Nine Firmaments Sect too much? Not at all! If it were me, I would want to give it all to repay such kindness." Lin Fan's acting skills soared, and he spoke with tears and emotion.

Yan Hongyu and the Supreme Elders exchanged glances, with electric currents of communication in their eyes.

Yan Hongyu: "What to do? This brat wants half."

Wuya: "He's favoring outsiders. I really want to slap him to death, but it seems we can't beat him."

Yan Zhanwen: "Heartache. Don't want to talk."

Lyu Mingyang: "All treasury spirits in the world are the same. Is the Nine Firmaments Sect's an exception?"

Yan Hongyu: "Just say whether to give it or not."

Wuya: "Forget it. Since it's come to this, this kid has completely thrown his lot in with his little brother."

The Supreme Elders sighed silently: "Ah..."

"Cough..." Yan Hongyu withdrew his gaze, then coughed lightly, looking at Lin Fan. "Indeed, if the Nine Firmaments Sect can do this, the Holy Sect naturally cannot let people be disheartened. Half it is. Later, take my token and go to the treasury to select with the treasury spirit."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan revealed a smile. "The Sect Leader is wise and just."

"En." Yan Hongyu nodded. Although his expression was stern, his heart was in agony—this was forced composure.
