第三千六百四十五章 以寡敌众

Thus, the spirit vein now had a place to settle. The first step in rebuilding the Pavilion of Revered Xuan was completed smoothly.

Lin Xuan's grand gesture naturally caused quite a stir in the vicinity.

In the cultivation world, strength reigned supreme. The dangers at Thousand Shadow Mountain were well-known among all the major and minor sects nearby. Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed such an excellent spirit vein to remain idle there.

Now, someone of high standing had arrived here and swept away the dangers around the spirit vein with ease. The various forces, taken aback by this development, inevitably sent people to gather information.

Lin Xuan naturally didn’t hide anything, openly informing them that he intended to stay permanently and establish the Pavilion of Revered Xuan. This news caused a commotion among these cultivators as they scrambled to discuss strategies for应对.

After all, founding a sect was no small matter. If a powerful new sect suddenly appeared in this area, it would be more trouble than benefit for them.

With the news confirmed, dozens of major and minor sects in the vicinity became restless. How to deal with the situation sparked many differing opinions.

Some older and more cautious ones believed they should observe the situation first before making any decisions.

After all, while the cultivation world was full of danger, no faction would deliberately create an enemy without gaining anything from it. So, they decided to wait and see.

However, many other cultivators thought this approach was too complacent. The other party had clearly shown their intention to establish a main base here. If they really founded a sect, everyone would be competitors in the future.

Although the resources on Ruyong World were relatively abundant, there were far more cultivators, so various cultivation resources remained scarce. Adding another sect to this area would certainly reduce available resources and minerals. If it was an insignificant sect, they could turn a blind eye to it. But with such a strong showing from the other party, they would inevitably compete for cultivation resources.

Rather than wait until then to conflict, it was better to strike first while the other party wasn't yet established. Acting quickly could secure an advantage.

After weighing the pros and cons, dozens of cultivation forces decided to give this uninvited guest a taste of their power, making them realize that the cultivation forces in this area were not to be trifled with. If they could drive the other party away in one fell swoop, it would be the best outcome.

One fell swoop, and since the dangers at Thousand Shadow Mountain had been eliminated, the newly opened spirit land could now be divided among them.

With that thought in mind, these major and minor sects feared that time might work against them. Soon, all their top experts were dispatched to the main base of the Pavilion of Revered Xuan.

Although called a main base, at this point, the Pavilion of Revered Xuan had few disciples. A second-rate cultivation family might even have more cultivators within its ranks.

The newly opened spirit land was still barren when viewed from afar.

This outcome left the dozen or so high-ranking cultivators who arrived somewhat dumbfounded. They even began to doubt whether they had overreacted.

They suspected that the beasts in this area hadn't been cleared by these people, but rather through sheer luck.

Just as the experts felt a bit bewildered, Lin Xuan appeared with a smile and welcomed the dozen or so high-ranking cultivators who came to demand an explanation into the main hall.

After half an hour, when these old monsters emerged from the grand hall, their faces were pale, and fear was evident in their eyes.

An expert knows at first glance. The news quickly spread among the various major forces nearby.

Upon entering the hall, Lin Xuan engaged in a one-on-one struggle with the top elders of the major and minor sects. In Ruyong World, while high-ranking cultivators were still rare, many larger sects had at least one or two who reached the Tribulation Transcending stage due to their long-standing traditions.

The cultivators who came to trouble Lin Xuan were naturally the top elders from various sects, numbering over thirty in total. Most of these people practiced techniques that allowed for easy advancement but lacked significant power, often lacking bottlenecks.

Although they had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, their strength was relatively weak compared to peers. However, if faced with a Spirit Formation cultivator, they were still formidable and could overwhelm them.

Unlike true great powers, these people’s strength was not as robust. But in numbers, it was said that ants can kill an elephant. With thirty or so working together, even the top elders of famous sects would only flee in fear.

As for this Lin boy, he was unknown and unremarkable, so his abilities were unlikely to be significant.

With confidence, these dozen high-ranking cultivators entered the hall without being overly polite. They didn’t come to fight but to overwhelm him with sheer numbers.

Their numerous attacks caused various colorful lights to flare up. Some used their treasures while others cast spells. Initially, they thought Lin Xuan would flee in panic.

However, what followed left them eternally unforgettable. Facing dozens of Tribulation Transcending cultivators, Lin Xuan didn’t retreat or fear; instead, he fought with one person against all… no, not just fight but overpower them.

Within half an hour, these high-ranking cultivators who came to demand an explanation were all disheveled and bruised. If Lin Xuan hadn't been lenient, they would have all perished.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan wasn’t a cruel or bloodthirsty person. Although these people had ill intentions toward him, their crimes weren’t severe enough for death. He let them go.

After this incident, the major and minor sects in the vicinity became extremely obedient. In the cultivation world, strength reigned supreme, and Lin Xuan’s power far exceeded their expectations. Such a formidable figure was beyond their ability to provoke.

Lin Xuan also showed great magnanimity, having no intention of seeking revenge. With this matter settled, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Rebuilding the Pavilion of Revered Xuan had been easier than expected. From now on, he could focus on doing what he wanted without worrying about it anymore. (To be continued...)
