Chapter 310: What Kind of Treatment Is This

That war vessel made everyone's heart skip a beat.

For the leaders of the thirty-eight sects, this was definitely not a good thing. They had already agreed among themselves to divide things fairly, and if the Nine Heavens Sect disagreed, they would fight.

If the Nine Heavens Sect saw reason and agreed to their demands, they wouldn't mind letting the sect continue to exist.

But now another unknown force had arrived, which in their eyes meant they would get a smaller share.

If it were just an ordinary sect, they could simply ignore it.

But judging by the size of the war vessel, it was probably not a small sect.

…

Lin Fan stood on the war vessel, gazing downward. The Sect Leader's war vessel was indeed a good thing; it had reached the Extreme West in just a few days—such incredible speed.

But compared to the Kun Peng, the gap was enormous.

Thinking of how the Kun Peng, with a flap of its wings, could travel from the Nine Heavens Sect to the Sacred Sect in the blink of an eye—such speed surpassed everything.

But considering the cost of summoning the Kun Peng, it was heartbreaking.

"Eh, there's an event?" Lin Fan saw a lively scene outside the main hall of the Nine Heavens Sect, with many people gathered.

But Lin Fan wasn't stupid. Given the current state of the Nine Heavens Sect, it would already be a good thing if it weren't being carved up by other sects.

…

"Senior Brother, bear with it, let it go." At that moment, Feng Xiaoling spoke from behind Xin Feng.

The sects that had come were all eyeing them covetously. If a war really broke out, the Nine Heavens Sect might truly be destroyed.

Xin Feng said nothing. He understood better than anyone. Thinking of the once-prosperous Nine Heavens Sect now reduced to this was indeed a tragedy.

None of the high-end combat power had survived. If even one Great Heavenly Realm Perfection expert remained, the situation would have been different.

But looking at the current situation, the highest combat power in the sect was only at the Small Heavenly Realm—what a tragedy.

At that moment, the war vessel floated above the Nine Heavens Sect. The disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect stared in awe—such a large and dazzling war vessel.

The disciples of the thirty-eight sects also looked at the war vessel with envy. When had their sects ever had such a large vessel?

The leaders of the thirty-eight sects exchanged glances, their eyes showing worry. What kind of sect was this?

Yan Hongyu's war vessel was silver-white on the surface, without any markings. Yan Hongyu believed in being low-key; although the Sacred Sect was powerful, one shouldn't be so ostentatious when traveling.

"Brother Xin Feng, this isn't right. Holding a celebration without sending a notice—if it weren't for me coming on business and coincidentally running into it, I wouldn't have known," a figure said as he descended from the war vessel.

When Xin Feng saw that figure, his expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward.

The leaders of the thirty-eight sects changed expression drastically. They hadn't expected the newcomer to be a friend of Xin Feng. But even so, it wouldn't hinder their plan to divide the spoils.

For the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect, however, they were all excited.

"Wow, Senior Brother Lin is here!"

"Ha, Senior Brother Lin! I have to go prepare the best tea right away."

"Hurry, hurry! Senior Brother Lin is here—those thirty-eight sect leaders wouldn't dare act recklessly now, would they?"

At this moment, the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect who knew who Lin Fan was, their previously unwilling hearts now filled with excitement.

They knew the relationship between Senior Brother Lin and the Sect Leader—they were very close brothers.

Feng Xiaoling also breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally wanted his senior brother to call Senior Brother Lin, but his senior brother had shaken his head and refused.

Now that Senior Brother Lin had come, it was undoubtedly a turning point for the Nine Heavens Sect.

"Brother Lin, why are you here?" Xin Feng was naturally happy to see Lin Fan, but also a bit puzzled, wondering why he had come.

"What, not welcome? Oh, impressive—this is the Sect Leader's robe, isn't it? I'm not one to criticize, but you didn't even notify me about the inauguration ceremony. I'm a bit upset," Lin Fan said, happy to see Xin Feng wearing the Sect Leader's robe; at least the Nine Heavens Sect hadn't sunk into silence.

"Brother Lin, this is just a small matter. Come, sit up here," Xin Feng quickly said, pulling Lin Fan along.

Feng Xiaoling, quick-eyed and swift-handed, immediately brought a chair from the main hall and placed it next to the Sect Leader's seat.

Of course—who was Senior Brother Lin? He was the strongest expert.

Thinking of how Supreme Elder Li Yuanqi was crushed like an ant in Senior Brother Lin's hands, it was truly unparalleled dominance.

Some disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect were puzzled.

"Senior Brother, who is Senior Brother Lin? How can he sit next to the Sect Leader?" This disciple had a low cultivation level and really didn't understand some things.

"Just watch quietly and don't talk. I'll tell you one thing: now that Senior Brother Lin is here, those thirty-eight sect leaders are in for it."

"Ah, Senior Brother, really? Those thirty-eight sect leaders are all Great Heavenly Realm experts..." the disciple asked woodenly.

"Heh, Great Heavenly Realm experts? Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I need to get some desserts for Senior Brother Lin. Did that junior brother who brought tea go to prepare?"

"Senior Brother, he went..." The disciple was dumbfounded, then looked around at the other senior brothers, his mind a bit confused. They had all been angry just now, but now they were all smiling.

The leaders of the thirty-eight sects were all astonished, looking at the person sitting beside Xin Feng, wondering who he was. Then the next scene completely stunned them.

What were those Nine Heavens Sect disciples doing? Why were they so enthusiastic?

"Senior Brother Lin, this is the best tea from our Nine Heavens Sect." A disciple carefully carried a cup of tea from afar, then respectfully placed it on the table, even taking out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains off the teacup.

"Senior Brother Lin, here are some desserts."

"Senior Brother Lin, are your shoulders tired? Let your junior brother give you a massage?"

"Senior Brother Lin, are your feet sore? I'll go prepare footbath water."

"Senior Brother Lin..."

…

Everyone from the thirty-eight sects stared dumbfounded at the scene before them. What the hell was going on?

Who was this big shot? Why were the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect fawning over him like this?

Thinking of their own treatment and comparing it to his, it was like heaven and earth.

At that moment, the people of the thirty-eight sects were utterly enraged. Wasn't this a blatant disrespect to them?

…

Lin Fan was also bewildered by these disciples.

"Alright, alright. What's gotten into you all today? Being so enthusiastic makes me a bit uncomfortable," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Xin Feng stood by, watching and smiling helplessly. He was a bit jealous—he had never received such treatment, yet as soon as Brother Lin arrived, these disciples were bustling about.

At that moment, Lin Fan picked up the teacup and took a small sip. "Brother Lin, the inauguration ceremony is quite grand. I didn't expect so many people to come. Introduce them..."

Just as Xin Feng was about to introduce them, the leaders of the thirty-eight sects exchanged glances and nodded.

"No need for introductions. Do you agree to the conditions we proposed?"

At that moment, everyone's gaze turned sharply to Xin Feng.

Lin Fan picked up a dessert, a faint, unusual smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
