Chapter 534 Sect expedition
A few days later, all of the disciples of the Love Sect were gathered.
They all had excited looks on their faces when they were gathered since this was the first time that they had all been gathered like this.
Until now, the Love Sect had strictly kept itself hidden and there were no big events like this.
But now that they had revealed themselves to the world, it was finally time for the Love Sect's first real big sect event.
It was a hunt in the wilderness.
Since they were very close to the wilderness, it wasn't a problem for them to do this.
Officially, this was a task that had been handed down to the Love Sect from the Mu Empire. They would be subjugating the spirit beasts that were found out in the wilderness for the Mu Empire.
This was to prevent any spirit beasts from invading the Mu Empire's territory.
For the spirit beasts that they killed, they would receive a reward from the Mu Empire.
This was normally a task that was handed to the Mu Empire's army, but this time it had been given to the Love Sect.
But of course, everyone knew that this was just an excuse for the Love Sect to head into the wilderness to kill spirit beasts.
This was to show the power of the Love Sect and to receive rewards from the Mu Empire.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
They were certain of this since they all knew that the empress of the Mu Empire was connected to the Love Sect. Though she had given up that title after becoming the empress, Mu Bao Bao had been the great elder of the Love Sect previously.
This was not an empty title that she had fulfilled.
It showed that she had deep ties to the Love Sect.
But that wasn't what the disciples of the Love Sect cared about.
Since this was the first sect event they were having, it meant that this was their chance to show off.
If they were able to show off in this sect event, then they would catch the eyes of the elders.
There were many disciples of the Love Sect, both in the inner sect and the elder sect. However, these were nothing more than ordinary disciples who just cultivated in the sect without recognizing a master or had a lower ranked master.
They all wanted to climb up the ladder in the Love Sect and the best way to do that is to become the disciple of an elder.
So that was what they were looking forward to doing today.
Once they were all gathered, the elders showed themselves.
Since it was a large-scale expedition for the Love Sect, naturally all of the elders had come along.
They were all gathered on stage in front of the disciples and the eyes of the disciples lit up when they saw them.
After the elders appeared, the disciples of the elders also appeared.
These disciples of the elders made their way in front of the stage, in front of the other disciples. However, not a single one of the disciples minded since they knew how strong they were from regular sparring.
They acknowledged their strength and willingly submitted to them.
It was also why they wanted to be one of them.
Once all of the disciples were in place, Senior Brother Ying came forward to say, "We will now head to the wilderness to hunt down spirit beasts. Remember, you must bring back the corpses of the spirit beasts to receive points for each kill. Unless you bring back evidence, you will not receive the points for killing spirit beasts."
All of the disciples nodded in agreement to this.
This was something that they all knew since the rules of this expedition had been announced ahead of time.
All of them knew exactly what they needed to do and had made many preparations for this.
Seeing that all of them had excited and determined looks, Senior Brother Ying gave a nod before saying, "Bring out the ship."
Several elders suddenly jumped into the air and floated there.
They all had their hands raised as if they were summoning something.
Then there was a strong gust of wind that came from above them that made all of the disciples cover their eyes.
This lasted for a while, making them unable to look up.
It was only when the gust subsided that they were able to look up to see that there was..a large ship that was floating there.
This was the Love Sect's spiritual boat.
Seeing this grand spiritual boat floating above them, they all couldn't help being shocked. Then all of the disciples revealed excited looks as they were filled with joy over the fact that they had joined the Love Sect.
A sect that could command this kind of powerful vessel was definitely a place that would be good to them.
But those that knew..they knew that this spiritual boat wasn't that great.
This was only a low grade spiritual boat that could only be used for transport. There weren't any defenses or any attack methods that were on this boat that could be used to defend it.
After the boat appeared, it landed in the open space by the Love Sect and all of the disciples were brought aboard.
After they all boarded, the elders controlled the spiritual boat to head for the wilderness.
While they were on their way, the disciples excitedly ran around the boat, looking over each part of it. At the same time, there were many disciples that hung off the side of the ship to admire the scenery below them.
For many of them, this was their first time flying like this.
While they were doing that, Lin Fan brought several elders away and held a secret meeting.
"Is everything prepared?" Lin Fan asked as soon as they were alone.
The elders all nodded when they heard this.
They had been preparing for several days now, so everything had been long prepared for this.
Lin Fan then asked, "Did you find it?"
The elders nodded once again before Senior Brother Ying said, "It wasn't hard to find. It was almost as if it wasn't even hidden. But we couldn't find a single way in."
He looked at the jade pendant that Lin Fan was holding and said, "It seems that we do need this pendant or we won't be able to make our way in."
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod even though he already knew this.
After all, the system had already told him that it was necessary, so he knew that it was definitely necessary.
But there was something else that he had to ask, "Are there any signs of the other sects?"
The only thing that he was worried about was if other sects had picked up traces of what they were doing and wanted a piece of the actions.
If that happened, they might have no choice but to let these other sects into the ruins just so they didn't create a large commotion.
After all, the bigger the commotion, the more powerful people were attracted.
If more powerful people were attracted, then a group might arrive that they wouldn't be able to contend with.
At that point, they might lose the ruins completely.
So they had to be careful not to be found out by the other sects.
Senior Brother Ying paused for a second before saying, "They've been watching over our sect's preparation to head into the wilderness."
Lin Fan slightly knitted my brows when he said this.
But then he said, "But as far as we can tell, they don't know what we're planning to do. Plus the Mu Empire's troops have prevented them from truly tracking us. Even if they dare move against us, they don't dare move against the Mu Empire right now."
Lin Fan gave a nod in response.
It was a good thing that he had prepared for this by asking for Mu Bao Bao's help with the cover.
Even though it would draw attention because this was something that even involved the Mu Empire, it was still better to have this distraction than to not. All of their attention would be taken by this even rather than them heading deeper into the wilderness.
Since everything had been prepared, there wasn't anything else for Lin Fan to ask about.
Instead, he just said, "Everyone, this will be an important expedition for our Love Sect. As long as we can collect the treasures that are in the ruins, there is no doubt that our Love Sect will become much stronger than before."
All of the elders revealed determined looks when they heard this.
They knew how important this was for the Love Sect, but at the same time, they were also filled with desire.
After all, the treasures that they obtained would be for them as well.
As long as they could bring the treasures back, there wouldn't be a lack of a share for them.
So all of them were excited about this.
Lin Fan could see that, but there was something else that he had to say.
"I know that all of you are excited about the treasures, but you have to remember that the most important thing is your life. Do not take excessive risks out of greed, be sure to prioritize your own life, not just for yourself, but also for the Love Sect."
The elders were surprised when they heard this, but then they all gave determined nods in response.
They knew that he was right. historical
The most important thing was their lives, as long as they had that, they could come to these ruins as much as they wanted.
So they immediately adjusted their mentality and said, "Thank you sect master for the warning."
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod in response.
