Lin Heng frowned after hearing Miao Jingkong's words, quite dissatisfied with the Lei Clan's domineering behavior.
However, a problem remains. Lin Heng asked, puzzled, "Since Army-Breaking Mountain is a force of the Ascenders, are the major Ascenders forces just going to stand by and watch Army-Breaking Mountain be destroyed without doing anything?"
Not only Lin Heng, but also Sun Yuan, Situ Jiannan, and others looked curiously towards Miao Jingkong.
" The Ascenders are always united, so why don't they care about the fate of Army-Breaking Mountain?"
Miao Jingkong's explanation was somewhat contradictory, but fortunately, Miao Jingkong quickly revealed the real reason. "I heard from my clan that the Lei Clan member involved in that incident was named Lei Buhuo, one of the Lei Clan's most beloved descendants. It seems that the Ascenders's inaction that time was due to a warning from the Lei Clan Ancestor."
So it turns out he's just another spoiled brat who acts like a big shot outside because he's favored by his Lineage elders.
Upon hearing this name, Lin Heng could only smile helplessly.
Lei Buhuo?
Isn't this the owner of the Lightning Punishment Sword, the reward I just received for signing in?
Lin Heng couldn't help but look forward to seeing what expressions the Lei Clan would have when he used the Lightning Punishment Sword to kill them in the future.
After asking about Army-Breaking Mountain, Lin Heng then asked Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao about the Eighth Heaven: "Tell me what you know about the Eighth Heaven."
After sorting out their thoughts, Miao Jingkong Lin Xiao spoke first Miao Jingkong, saying, "All forces in the Eighth Heaven ascended from the Ninefold Heaven. To establish a force in the Eighth Heaven, the sect must have at least one Heavenly Venerable Realm."
"Currently, there are over three hundred sects in the Eighth Heaven. Almost all the areas with good resources and abundant source energy have been divided up. If Master wants to find a good place in the Eighth Heaven to establish the Battle Heaven Pavilion sect, it will probably not be easy."
Lin Xiao followed up, saying, "I've learned from within the clan that the Fire Clan has united with the seven of us to give you a warning and force your Battle Heaven Pavilion to retreat to the most remote area to restrict its development."
Lin Heng was not surprised by this. How could the Fire Clan forget the fact that he had killed two members of the Fire Clan on the day the pavilion opened?
As for the Fire Clan's plan to join forces with the other seven families to suppress his Battle Heaven Pavilion, Lin Heng simply smiled.
Are the Eight Great Imperial Clans truly united in their fight against me?
This will be evident from the day the Battle Heaven Pavilion opened.
The Fire Clan might be able to persuade them to come to their aid, but Lin Heng estimated that the other six clans, apart from the Lei Clan, would mostly be there to put in the effort but not actually contribute.
"Since the Fire Clan has prepared a gift for us, why don't we go and give them one first?"
Sun Yuan suddenly grinned, a smile that had a slightly mischievous air about it.
Situ Jiannan echoed Sun Yuan's words, "I also think Senior Sun Yuan's suggestion is good. Anyway, we've just arrived in the Eighth Heaven and don't have a place to stay yet. We should find a place to live first, right?"
Situ Jiannan's words were also a reminder to Lin Heng: we can go and seek revenge, but we need to find a good reason first.
We can't go there and say we're here to cause trouble; that would give the Eight Great Imperial Clans something to talk about.
Lin Heng immediately understood, smiled, and asked Lin Xiao and Miao Jingkong, "Which sect under the Fire Clan has the largest territory? Let's find a place to rest."
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then quickly pointed south and said, " The Dragon Flame Sect is three hundred million miles away from here. They are the strongest sect under the Fire Clan, covering an area of ninety million miles. Their sect leader, Xu Xutuzi, is Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm."
"Then let's go with the Dragon Flame Sect!"
Lin Heng waved his hand and led his more than three thousand men toward the Dragon Flame Sect.
Lin Xiao and Miao Jingkong led the way, but when they approached the vicinity of the Dragon Flame Sect, the two bid farewell and left.
Although they are Lin Heng's servants, they are also members of the Water Race and Wood Clan, and if discovered, it will be difficult to explain.
Lin Heng also wanted their racial identity, so he naturally didn't say anything more about it.
After the two left, Lin Heng led the disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion to set off again.
Before long, when the Battle Heaven Pavilion army, led by Lin Heng, Sun Yuan, and Situ Jiannan, arrived outside the Dragon Flame Sect, the Dragon Flame Sect, which had already sensed something was wrong, immediately went on high alert.
Just as Lin Heng and his group stopped outside the Dragon Flame Sect's gate, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe led a group of the Dragon Flame Sect experts out.
"I am Xutuzi Master of the Dragon Flame Sect. May I ask who you are and what brings you to my Dragon Flame Sect?"
The man in the purple robe looked at Lin Heng, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, and asked.
"My name is Lin Heng, the Pavilion Master of the Battle Heaven Pavilion. I am here today merely passing through your sect and would like to borrow a place to rest."
Lin Heng said it frankly.
This left the people of the Dragon Flame Sect somewhat bewildered.
What is that?
Can I find a place to rest?
Judging from your posture, you don't seem to be here to rest; it looks more like you're here to seize territory!
Besides, anyone who can reach the Eighth Heaven is at least at the Nirvana Realm; who doesn't know how to Teleportation?
Do we really need to borrow a place to rest?
Xutuzi naturally assumed Lin Heng was there to cause trouble, and immediately shouted coldly, " Battle Heaven Pavilion? I've never heard of such a sect in the Eighth Heaven. You'd better leave immediately, or I will activate the sect's grand formation and show you no mercy."
Hearing this, Sun Yuan chuckled and asked Situ Jiannan beside him, " Jiannan, if they made the first move, then we won't have any ammunition against them, right?"
Situ Jiannan laughed and said, "Senior Sun Yuan is absolutely right. If they make the first move, they will be the ones disrupting the peace and stability of the Nine Heavens. We are merely acting in self-defense."
With Situ Jiannan's affirmative reply, Sun Yuan stepped forward and said disdainfully, "The fact that I'm willing to borrow a place from you is an honor for your Dragon Flame Sect. If you know what's good for you, you'd better open the door quickly, otherwise I'll really get angry, and you can't handle that kind of anger."
Sun Yuan was clearly provoking him on purpose, and Xutuzi was naturally furious upon hearing this.
To be approached by someone from one's own sect and subjected to such humiliation—even if the master's wife could tolerate it, the master certainly couldn't.
"Everyone of you from the Dragon Flame Sect, listen to my command! Activate the sect's protective formation and prepare to form the Dragon Flame Sword Formation. Slaughter these arrogant fools!"
Xutuzi was so confident because he sensed that among Lin Heng's group, the strongest was Lin Heng, who was at the Seventh-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm. Although Lin Heng was a realm higher than him and he was no match for him in a one-on-one fight, with the support of the sect's protective formation in front of his own sect, fighting a level higher was not too difficult for him.
"Understood!"
Upon receiving Xutuzi's order, the entire Dragon Flame Sect immediately sprang into action.
At this moment, an elder beside Xutuzi seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly spoke up, "Sect Master, this Battle Heaven Pavilion seems to be..."
But Xutuzi was in a fit of rage and couldn't listen to anything else. He waved his hand to interrupt the elder, "Who cares which faction they belong to? Daring to trespass into my Dragon Flame Sect is disrespecting the Fire Clan. Even if we kill them here, the Fire Clan will uphold justice for us. At that time, I doubt the forces behind the Battle Heaven Pavilion will dare to say anything."
