Chapter 795 Start Of A War (1)

When morning came, it was now the third day after the meeting called by the Thunder Sect, True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association.

While everyone was still preparing, they were suddenly caught off guard by the moves of the Thunder Sect, True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association.

That was because these three factions didn't attack the same target like they had expected, they attacked three different targets at once.

The targets that they hit were the Myriad Sword Hall, the Ice Goddess Palace, and the Tamers Guild.

No one knew why these three factions had been targeted, but as soon as they received word that they were being attacked, the other factions immediately jumped into action.

Lin Fan was the same.

The moment that he received this news, he knitted his brows and had a discussion with Brainy first. After that discussion, he immediately decided to head to the Myriad Sword Hall.

As for why he chose the Myriad Sword Hall, it was half because of strategy and half because of emotions.

For the strategy part, it was because the Myriad Sword Hall was the furthest away from any other of the twelve great factions, so they would receive reinforcements the latest. The other two factions would receive reinforcements right away from the factions that were closer, the Myriad Sword Hall wasn't the same.

It was also because the Myriad Sword Hall was filled with sword cultivators. Sword cultivators were considered the strongest among cultivators of the same level, this was already common knowledge.

Since that was the case, that would mean that the enemies would send their strongest forces to attack the Myriad Sword Hall.

The other two forces would be able to hold on, so he would head to the place with the strongest opponents.

It was just too bad that this wasn't the case.

When he arrived, he found that the Myriad Sword Hall had already taken care of the enemies that attacked them.

Lin Fan just stood there in a daze as he couldn't help thinking where he had gone wrong in his plans.

But then before he could do anything else, there was someone who brought some news that ruined those plans.

"What did you just say?" Lin Fan said in a voice filled with disbelief.

The messenger also had the same look of disbelief, but he still repeated, "The Tamers Guild is close to falling."

Lin Fan took a deep breath before immediately knitting his brows and asking, "Tell me everything that happened."

The messenger nodded before going into details about what had happened.

No one knew how it happened, but the fight between the two sides had suddenly changed. At first, the Tamers Guild was able to push back the enemies with their waves of beasts, but then…

All of sudden, there was a single beast in the beast wave of the Tamers Guild that suddenly turned.

With one beast turning, the rest of the beast followed and all turned to face the Tamers Guild experts as well.

No one knew what was happening at first, but…then before anyone could react, the pets of the Tamers Guild suddenly turned against their masters and started attacking the experts of the Tamers Guild.

The experts of the Tamers Guild weren't able to withstand this sudden change and they were forced to retreat to their defensive lines. However, with the added attack of the pets that had suddenly turned on them, they were forced back further and further.

While the Tamers Guild hadn't fallen yet, it was getting closer and closer with each passing moment.

After hearing all of this, Lin Fan decided to not waste any time and head there right away.

The experts of the Myriad Sword Hall had just finished their own fight, but they immediately followed Lin Fan to go and support the Tamers Guild. They still had plenty of experts that weren't injured because the ones that had been sent to attack the Myriad Sword Hall were only weaklings to begin with.

They couldn't match the powerful sword cultivators of the Myriad Sword Hall at all.

When Lin Fan's group arrived at the Tamers Guild headquarters, they could see the destruction all around them. There were corpses of both humans and beasts lying all over the ground and the buildings were all demolished, showing signs of intense fighting.

But the worst part was that they still couldn't see any signs of fighting.

Could it be that the Tamers Guild was already…

No, Lin Fan shook his head to deny this possibility. There was still the chance that they had fallen back into the depths of the Tamers Guild.

The Tamers Guild headquarters took up a large area, so there was still a deeper part of the headquarters that they could have retreated to.

As soon as this thought passed through his mind, he immediately gathered everyone to head further in.

They continued on deeper into the Tamers Guild headquarters, but all they could find were corpses and destroyed buildings. That was until they came to the center where they could still hear the sounds of fighting.

It seemed like there was still a group from the Tamers Guild that had managed to hold on.

Without wasting any time, Lin Fan sent the scouting team in to see what the situation was.

The reports that came back told him that the barrier was still on outside of the main hall and there were enemies that were currently surrounding it, bombarding it with attacks. The enemies were made of plenty of beasts that they recognized as belonging to the Tamers Guild, including the Nascent Soul Realm Beasts that Lin Fan had sold them.

Lin Fan immediately knitted his brows as he couldn't figure out how they were able to steal the beasts of the Tamers Guild, but there was no time to worry about that. After all, the report had also said that the barrier outside of the Tamers Guild's main hall was getting dimmer and dimmer.

It was clear that they wouldn't be able to hold on much longer, so Lin Fan's group had to act now to save them.

So after taking a moment to plan things out, Lin Fan sent the sword cultivators to take the lead.

It wasn't that he was throwing them under the bus or using them to draw out the enemies, it was because they didn't need to use pets. The enemies clearly had something that they could use to steal the pets that they used, so they couldn't risk sending more pets out for the enemies to take over.

So these sword cultivators that didn't rely on pets were the best choice for this.

As for the rest of them, they would wait here until the enemies were drawn out. They would watch over the enemies to see if they could find out how they were stealing their pets.

As soon as the sword cultivators charged out, the enemies immediately turned around.

As expected, they threw the beasts that they had stolen from the Tamers Guild in front since they planned on using them as meat shields against the sword cultivators.

However, these beasts weren't beasts that they had pet contracts with, so it was hard to give these beasts proper orders. Even if there were Nascent Soul Realm Beasts among them, they weren't a match for the sword cultivators at all. They weren't even a match for Child Soul Realm Sword Cultivators, so there was no need for the Nascent Soul Realm Sword Cultivators to do anything.

Seeing that the beasts were being pushed back with ease, the enemies couldn't help being pushed back a step. After all, there were more beasts than people among the enemies, so just the momentum of the beasts being pushed back pushed the rest of them back as well.

But it was also at this time that there was someone who suddenly came forward.

This was a cloaked figure, but based on the facial features that could be seen, it was clear that this was a young person.

This cloaked figure raised the dark orb that it was holding in its hand and then with a dark glow that came from the orb, all of the beasts that had been stolen suddenly started moving in a strange pattern.

This time, they didn't act separately. They all moved together like a tide until they came into the form of an array.

Once they came together in this array, the cloaked figure waved its hands a few times before a flow of energy came from the beasts. All the beasts released their life energy and that came together to form a giant barrier that surrounded them.

This barrier pushed back all the sword cultivators that had been charging at them.

As the sword cultivators were pushed back, the weaker ones couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This was a barrier that was formed by over a thousand beasts and there were even Nascent Soul Realm Beasts in this barrier. This definitely wasn't a weak array, so naturally those that had weaker cultivations suffered internal injuries.

But for the most part, most of the sword cultivators were able to resist this barrier with their swords.

After the barrier had been formed, the cloaked figure waved its hands a few more times and the flow of energy of the barrier suddenly changed. All of the energy gathered in a single point, creating a ball of light that was pointed right at the sword cultivators.

There was no doubt that this was a powerful attack that combined all the power of the beasts in the array.
