After the meeting with the True Soul Realm Beasts, Lin Fan didn't have much free time either.
First, he had a meeting with the leaders of the twelve great factions. He had to report that he was able to get the support of these True Soul Realm Beasts, while also giving them the new plan.
After the meeting called by the True Spirit Sect, these twelve great factions had already taken Lin Fan as sort of their leader.
Behind him was the master of the shop, the only one that they could rely on. So they took Lin Fan's words as the orders of the master since he was the only one that could communicate with that master.
This was just how desperate they were.
They didn't have any confirmation from the master or if what Lin Fan said was true, but they didn't have another choice at a time like this. The only thing that they could do was rely on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't let them down as he gave them many things that he had bought from the store.
He knew that it was impossible for him to face Bing Jun and Huo Fei's forces alone, so he needed the help of these twelve great factions. There was no time to hold back, he needed to do all he could to make them stronger so they could face the forces of the Tai Stellar Kingdom.
So he didn't care about the balance anymore and offered them even more Nascent Soul Realm Beast and Child Soul Realm Beasts. He was planning on stuffing these nine great factions full of Nascent Soul Realm Beasts and Child Soul Realm Beasts.
But of course, there was still a limiting factor to this.
It was the amount of Nascent Soul Realm and Child Soul Realm eggs that the nine factions could find.
Lin Fan could only hatch these Nascent Soul Realm and Child Soul Realm beasts if he had the eggs to hatch, so he had to wait for supplies to come from these nine great factions. But now that Lin Fan didn't hold back in supplying them with these Nascent Soul Realm and Child Soul Realm pets, they went all out in collecting the eggs that Lin Fan needed.
Every day, there were more and more eggs that funneled into Lin Fan's store and with each day, there were Child Soul Realm and Nascent Soul Realm beasts coming out. The nine great factions didn't even have any more experts to form contracts with them, so they just used them to guard key areas now.
However, it wasn't just Nascent Soul Realm and Child Soul Realm beasts that Lin Fan provided to the nine great factions.
In addition to these beasts, he also bought many different things from the shop and handed them over to the nine great factions.
He had even used up half of his savings buying these things and things that he needed to prepare for himself.
It was just a good thing that he had the business of the Child Soul Realm and Nascent Soul Realm beasts supporting this or he definitely would have run out of points a long time ago.
The points just came rolling in at the price that he sold these beasts for. It even made the finances of the nine great factions a bit short, but this wasn't the time for them to worry about this since a war was coming.
They also asked Lin Fan if he was able to breed True Soul Realm beasts since they had a few eggs that were considered treasures by them, but Lin Fan rejected this since he really wasn't able to do so.
He had thought that he would be able to since it was an option that was given by his system, but when he tried, he found that the incubation chamber just wouldn't take it. Instead, there was a notification that appeared that said, "Insufficient privilege."
He didn't know what he needed to do to get this privilege or why the system would show him this notification, but he didn't have the time to care about that. After all, there was still a war coming.
So for now, Lin Fan threw all of that to the back of his mind.
The main topic that they were discussing at today's meeting was the topic of whether they should attack the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, or the Assassins Association first.
Lin Fan immediately vetoed this idea by saying, "There's no knowing what kind of traps they have already set up for us since we have no idea what their plans are at all. We don't even know what kind of forces they will be sending out at us. In this kind of situation, it's better if we don't make the first move and wait for them."
After a pause he added, "At the very least, in that situation, we'll be fighting on our home field instead of their home field."
Everyone nodded in agreement to this.
They had been sending spies to investigate the enemy during the past few days, but every spy that they had sent hadn't been able to find a single thing.
It was as if there was some kind of barrier that protected the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association. This was a barrier that they couldn't break no matter what kind of items or powers they used.
Naturally, they knew that this barrier came from Bing Jun and Huo Fei, which meant that it was a power that came from the Stellar Kingdom. So they knew that it was futile hoping that they would break through.
In this situation where they had no information, defense was the safest option since at least you would have the home field advantage. You would be the one with all the defenses prepared, making the fight much easier for you.
So after discussing it a bit, they decided to continue with their passive stance for now.
The main thing was getting their communication network set up because they needed to be able to respond right away if one of the factions was attacked. All of the other factions would need to send their experts to help support that one faction, as well as know what enemies to expect.
That was why communication was the most important thing.
But that was a matter for the nine great factions since they had much more resources in this matter than Lin Fan, so he left it to them. He hung up on the call and went to deal with his next matter.
Lin Fan left the store and headed to the residence that had been prepared for his family.
Over the past few days, he had also been making arrangements for them.
He knew that Bing Jun wouldn't give up and he didn't know how this war would turn out, so he had been preparing a back up plan for his family. In fact, he wanted to send them down to the Blue Star Planet, but even now, they still refused to go without him.
So since that was the case, Lin Fan had no choice but to…
When he arrived at the residence, he found Lin Xue and Yue Qingrou in the kitchen cooking something. When he saw them, he could easily tell from their body language that they were clearly nervous and were just trying to distract themselves.
Since that was the case, Lin Fan didn't disturb them.
Of course, the main reason he didn't disturb them was because he had someone else to see.
He went to the training room in the basement. The moment that he came in, he saw the various sword marks that lined the walls and he couldn't help shaking his head.
It seemed like it would be hard to convince him to follow his plan…
Lin Fan walked to the center of the room where Lin Ao was standing.
As soon as Lin Fan arrived in front of him, Lin Ao suddenly raised his sword to put at Lin Fan's neck.
Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all to raise his own sword to block this and knock Lin Ao's sword aside.
As soon as Lin Ao's sword was knocked away, he suddenly used the force to spin and slash out at Lin Fan. Lin Fan easily blocked this and then started using slashes of his own.
The father and son just fought like this for several minutes before finally calming down.
Neither of them had any injuries on them, but it was clear by Lin Ao's heavy breathing and the bitter look on his face that he was the one that had been pushed back by Lin Fan.
However, there was still a trace of happiness in his heart when he saw this.
His son had finally grown up and his son had even become stronger than him…
He had once been called a monster, but it seemed that it was his son who was the true monster. It was hard to believe that less than a year ago, Lin Fan didn't have any cultivation at all.
He didn't know what happened with Lin Fan, but he was naturally happy as a parent.
He knew that this was a world that depended on strength and with the strength that Lin Fan had, it wasn't hard for him to flourish in the world.
The only problem was the one who had locked their eyes on his daughter…
Lin Ao naturally knew what Lin Fan wanted to say, so before he could even say it, he shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to join the fight as well."
Lin Fan however shook his head and said, "That's not what I wanted to talk to you about."
Lin Ao revealed a confused look as he waited for Lin Fan to continue.
Lin Fan said, "I want you to protect them. I'll move them to a safe location and you'll be the one protecting them. Can I trust you to do that?"
Lin Ao had a complicated look when he heard this, but he still gave a nod in the end.
He knew that with his cultivation, he would just be a burden. Even if he had his pride, he also still had his intelligence.
So he knew what Lin Fan's true goal in proposing this was.
Since this was what Lin Fan wanted, this was the least that he could do. After all, he was a father and he would support his son. Especially when his son had gone this far to help him maintain his pride.
Seeing that Lin Ao agreed to his proposal, Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief before giving Lin Ao a nod and leaving the room.
Once he was out of the room, Lin Fan gave a sigh and said, "I hope that this is enough."
