But they didn't have time to think about this.
Before the enemy could spot them, Lin Fan immediately led his group charging towards the Hunters Organization.
The Hunters Organization's headquarters had been completely surrounded, so it would definitely be a bloody affair to rush through the waves of enemies to reach the Hunters Organization headquarters. They would have to steel themselves to come to the aid of the Hunters Organization.
After all, it would be useless for them to hide out here.
They would be nothing more than sitting ducks if they stayed out here. Without any arrays or defenses to help them, they would be easily swept through by the unknown capabilities of the enemies.
So even if it was dangerous, they had no choice but to charge through the enemy lines to reach the camps of the Hunters Organization.
But to their surprise, they found that the enemies didn't do a single thing when they charged forward. When the enemies saw them charging at them, they even split up their lines to let Lin Fan's group pass through.
It was as if they weren't afraid of Lin Fan's group providing reinforcements to the Hunters Organization at all.
As they charged through the gaps, Lin Fan could even see confident smirks on the faces of the enemy.
Lin Fan had split his team into several smaller groups so that they could charge at the enemy lines from different directions to distract them. While this did make it easy for more of them to make it through the enemy lines, smaller groups meant more casualties since they didn't have as much battle power as if they stuck together in large groups.
However, after making it through, Lin Fan was shocked to find that every single group that had charged at the enemy had made it through. The enemies hadn't engaged even a single group even though it was clear that they had the advantage.
They just opened their lines to create channels for the reinforcements to go through. They didn't even attack the back of the reinforcement groups as they were passing by…
None of this made any sense at all!
Just what were the enemy planning!
Not a single one of their actions made any sense!
But the illogical behaviour didn't just end there as after Lin Fan's group arrived as reinforcements for the Hunters Organization. Even though they still outnumbered them and had completely surrounded them, the enemies didn't make a single move to attack them.
They just stood there outside of the Hunters Organization headquarters, as if they were waiting for something.
A few minutes later, the reinforcements from the other factions also arrived and the same thing as before happened.
The enemy lines opened up as they let these reinforcements pass right on through to
where the Hunters Organization was gathered…
Every single move that the enemy made was illogical, but they had no choice but to think deeper into it.
"Could it be that they want to gather us together to trap us?"
Finally, one of the leaders of the nine factions gave this suggestion.
Everyone had already been thinking this when they first arrived, but no one had been willing to say it out loud out of fear that it would become true. But now that someone had taken the courage to say it, everyone suddenly jumped onto this train.
"It's clear that they're planning something…We should gather all of our power and abandon the Hunters Organization's headquarters as soon as we can before they can do anything. With all of us here, I'm sure that we can break through." One leader said.
"But even if we break through, where will we go?" Another leader asked.
"This…"
That was true, they wouldn't have any other place to go if they abandoned the Hunters Organization headquarters. That was because out of all their factions, the Hunters Organization headquarters had the best defenses.
They were the closest to Lin Fan and his store, so they had received the most support from them. While the others were jealous seeing this, there was nothing that they could say.
In their plans, the Hunters Organization headquarters should have been their final defense lines against the enemy. After all, the enemy should also know about the close relationship between Lin Fan and the Hunters Organization.
They would leave the Hunters Organization for last, instead of attacking them first like this.
As they were discussing this, many of them took secret looks at Lin Fan.
That was because they knew that it wasn't actually the Hunters Organization headquarters that was the most secure, but rather Lin Fan's store. His store had his master, the unknown expert from a Stellar Kingdom there, so there would surely be all kinds of defenses that they could never imagine being laid down there.
So in truth, Lin Fan's store was most likely the most secure place in this entire Galactic Humanity Alliance.
But of course, not a single one of them dared to go to Lin Fan's store to hide since they knew that it would incur the wrath of the expert hiding there. He was the only lifeline that they could rely on now, so they would never dare to anger him.
Lin Fan naturally saw all these secret looks directed at him, but he ignored them all. The store was also his final card and if he didn't need to, he wouldn't bring it out that easily.
After all, Bing Jun and Huo Fei hadn't shown themselves yet.
Not to mention that he had already spent quite a few points on strengthening these factions up. If they couldn't even block the enemy here, then it would be too much of a waste.
So the different factions could only think of a way of stopping the enemies here.
Another half an hour passed just like this and once the final reinforcement group from the nine great factions arrived, the enemies finally started moving.
It seemed like they had also sent spies to watch over the other factions to see if they would send reinforcements.
After all, they moved right when the final group of reinforcements arrived.
But the strange thing was that they still allowed that group of reinforcements through before surrounding the Hunters Organization.
The True Soul Realm Beasts were evenly spread among their lines and instead of being used as trump cards, they were placed right in the front of the lines. It was almost as if they were planning on charging with these True Soul Realm Beasts…
But before they made a move, there was a figure that made its way through the crowd to appear in front of Lin Fan and the other leaders. This was a person that they were all familiar with, it was Bing Jun.
Bing Jun came right to the front and then stood there facing Lin Fan and the leaders to say, "Everyone, this is not the result that I wanted to see, but it's still not too late for us to end this. As long as you're willing to submit, we promise that we won't mistreat you."
There was no longer the tone of trying to broker a cooperation, but rather, he was now speaking as if he was the dominant side. He was clearly no longer hiding his natural pride and was speaking to them as if he was their master.
Seeing this, they knew that they had reached the point of no return.
After all, if they did surrender here, it was clear that they would be treated as slaves…
For their factions, for their families, for their pride, it was better to go down fighting than to give up at this point.
Bing Jun could see that they clearly had no intentions of surrendering, but he had already expected this. He had already heard about what had happened at the Tamers Guild, so he knew that their spirits hadn't been broken yet.
The reason why he had even come out to say something was because…
Bing Jun looked right at Lin Fan and asked, "Brother in law, where's Xue'er? This realm is too dangerous for her to stay in. Please let me take her and the rest of my in laws to a safer place."
Lin Xue, that was the only reason he had even bothered coming out to talk to these fools.
If Lin Xue were to get hurt in all of this, he would regret it and he would never stop regretting it. So he took this risk to expose himself just so he could take her away.
But Lin Fan ignored him and instead threw a white dagger covered in many different coloured glows right at Bing Jun.
Bing Jun gave a cold snort as a layer of ice appeared in front of him. Even though this dagger was enough to threaten someone in the Peak Nascent Soul Realm, it was easily blocked by the layer of ice in front of Bing Jun. There wasn't even a single crack that had been formed in that perfectly smooth layer of ice.
Bing Jun gave another cold snort before saying, "Brother in law, please don't be like this. This is your final warning."
Seeing that Lin Fan didn't say a thing, Bing Jun's face turned ice cold as he said, "Then you can't blame me for the consequences."
He said in a calm voice, "Do it."
Then without even turning back, he walked away as the forces under him charged forth.
He wasn't worried because he had already swept the Hunters Organization headquarters with spiritual sense. He hadn't been able to find a trace of Lin Xue which meant that she wasn't here, which also made sense since he didn't think that Lin Fan would bring her somewhere this dangerous.
He also deployed a team to cover this entire Galactic Humanity Alliance with spiritual sense to make sure that she wouldn't be able to escape. It could be said that everything was in the palm of his hands.
The only problem was that he couldn't find her even after doing all of this…
But as long as he took care of Lin Fan, it would be natural that she would fall into his hands.
Now it was just a matter of time.
