Full-time monk: I am the prophet of civilization!

Just like the little monster was afraid that its companions would be killed by Ultraman...

However, Yu Shishi overlooked one point.

She is not a little monster; she, like Lin Fan and the others, is light.

And light can warm each other.

My palms felt warm, and I looked down.

The moth-tail pendant bracelet that had been returned was stuffed back into Lü Yi's hand.

“Take it, child. You are a more qualified totem guardian than I am.”

Even when facing the overwhelming power of the Flaming Dragon, she bravely stood in front of the Moon Moth Phoenix...

Without a doubt, Yu Shishi has already gained Lü Yi's approval.

This recognition was like a ray of light, illuminating Yu Shishi's heart.

The alienation and inferiority complex stemming from her identity as a moth girl, along with the fear of losing her, gradually dissipated with the warmth in her palm.

Lu Yi reached out to comfort Yu Shishi and continued forward, step by step approaching his former best friend.

As if sensing Lü Yi's arrival, the long-dormant cocoon slowly split open.

The black hair, which even soul fire could not burn, was completely scattered by a wave of energy like moonlight.

A pair of wings as soft as gauze slowly unfolded, and her body, as shimmering as a constellation of stars, was mysterious and beautiful, with her drooping tail feathers resembling several rivers of stars falling to earth.

"Ugh~"

A soft chirping sound, filled with grievance, rang out.

"I'm sorry, Moon Moth Phoenix... I'm sorry..."

Lu Yi could no longer suppress her grief and guilt, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Waaaaah~~"

The moon-moth phoenix's antennae slowly drooped down, gently embracing Lü Yi, as if comforting her dear friend.

She never blamed Lü Yi, but like a scolded child, she dared not go home...

As they poured out their hearts to each other, all the misunderstandings of the past vanished in the depth of their affection.

Feeling warmth in one's heart is a sign that wounds are healing.

Chapter 24 Objective: Destroy the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree!

The misunderstanding was cleared up, and the person and the moth embraced each other for a long time.

Finally, they looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes—to destroy the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree!

However, before Yue Mo Huang could take Lü Yi into the air, Lin Fan stopped them.

"Grandma Lü, Moon Ephemeral, I know you are in a hurry, but please don't rush."

Looking at Lü Yi and Yue Ehuang, who were eager for revenge, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh slightly.

We finally managed to get Lü Yi and Yue Ehuang to resolve their differences, but if we just let them fight the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree to the death...

To put it bluntly, what's the difference between this and the level 19 Hai Wuliang being used like a firecracker?

Moreover, given Lü Yi and Yue Ehuang's current strength...

Even if they fight to the death, it will only be the same as in the original timeline: Lü Yi dies, and the Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​reincarnated in exchange for the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree being severely injured.

Even if both sides perish, it would be a huge loss for Lin Fan and for human civilization.

A top-tier mage and a grand monarch-level totem beast were exchanged for a supreme monarch...

(Before her rebirth, the Moon Moth Phoenix Peak should have been at the Grand Monarch level, otherwise it would have been difficult for her to survive the Mage Guild's siege.)

In short, Lin Fan would never allow this to happen!

Seeing that the person and the moth had stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

"I will not stop Granny Lü from killing the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree."

"However, this battle cannot be fought by just us."

"I have already contacted Commander Lü and the others. Only by launching a joint attack can we completely cut off the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree's path to survival."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Lü Yi and Yue Ehuang didn't react much, but Yu Shishi, standing to the side, turned her gaze to this sunny and cheerful young man.

She then realized that the boy had actually revealed her name earlier.

Looking into those confident eyes, Yu Shishi suddenly felt as if nothing could be hidden from him.

'Hmm...'

Yu Shishi shook her head slightly, somewhat amused, denying her feelings.

'How could this be? How could I have such a misconception…'

'But who exactly is he? Everyone seems willing to listen to him…'

Both Lü Yi and the middle-aged man riding the flying dragon stopped what they were doing when Lin Fan spoke.

She even saw several girls around her age staring at Lin Fan just like her.

Without a doubt, after experiencing so much, Lin Fan has become the leader of the team.

After all, who wouldn't want a big brother who can cheat their way to victory and carry them to the top?

Unaware of the situation, a seed of curiosity was quietly planted in Yu Shishi's heart.

Let's get back to Lü Yi.

She wasn't unresponsive; she was simply taken aback by what Lin Fan said.

If Yu Shishi didn't understand the military leader, how could she not understand him?

As a forbidden spell mage and the leader of one side's defense, he is naturally associated with the word "powerful".

Now Lin Fan has actually summoned them directly, and not just one...

Even though the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree was her mortal enemy, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy when she thought about what was about to happen.

Of course, there was more joy than anything else, from the prospect of revenge.

Lin Fan was right; this was far more satisfying than her and Yue Mo Huang perishing together...

……

Returning to Yantai.

Lin Fan and his group went directly to the outside of Kunyu Mountain.

According to local regulations, the Kunyu Mountains are divided into two parts: the Inner Kunyu Mountains and the Outer Kunyu Mountains.

The Neikunyu Mountains, also known as Anjie, are a relatively safe natural ecological area, specializing in various herbs that can be used to make special medicines such as bone-healing bottles.

It is also an important industry for the development of Yantai.

Waikunyu Mountain is a complete demonic territory, directly blocking Yantai from cities to the southwest.

This refers to the situation mentioned before, where people live next to demons, creating enclaves throughout the country.

However, Lin Fan believes that from today onwards, there will no longer be a distinction between the inner and outer Kunyu Mountains.

As for the basis for his confidence to think that way...

"Haha, Lin Fan, I rushed over as soon as I heard you were in trouble!"

Ever since Nan Heng made a fortune in Zhuoyuan, he has now equated Lin Fan's troubles with a great opportunity.

Just as he said, as soon as Lin Fan sent the message, he immediately led his men over.

"Hmph, who's the same to you? Besides, I'm an old man and I got here faster than you, and you still have the nerve to say that."

Old Master Ai Guoqiang irritably let go of Nan Heng's arm that was draped over Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan, this old man is different from those two snobbish guys. I support you unconditionally!"

When it comes to how to label and belittle, the older generation has the most experience.

Lin Fan could only offer a polite smile in response.

As for Lü Huan, who was once again dragged down, he's not going to put up with Ai Guoqiang this time.

After all, my younger sister was watching from the side!

"Heh, jumping around in my eastern jurisdiction, you two are quite capable, huh?"

According to geographical divisions, Yantai was indeed under the jurisdiction of Lü Huan.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because as soon as he did, Nan Heng and Ai Guoqiang started making sarcastic remarks back and forth.

"Yeah, we don't even know whose territory it is, they've been raising a demon empire that's almost fully formed without them even knowing."

"So this is the East? I thought I'd stumbled into hell on earth..."

"By the way, Commander Lü, do you know those corrupt officials we arrested earlier?"

The so-called natural order is cyclical.

When there were many traitors in the western part of Lü Huan's territory.

He should have realized that one day the boomerang would hit him on the head.

To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability.

Just before the incident, Lin Fan pulled out a pile of evidence and wiped out all the corrupt officials in Yantai.

Whether it's Tong Shang, who coveted the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree in the original timeline, or Commander Wei Fang, who colluded with it...

Lin Fan didn't have that much time to play house with them.

They directly brought in Lü Huan, their immediate superior, and with the evidence solid, they took him down in one fell swoop.

Hearing what Nan Heng and Ai Guoqiang said, Lü Huan also thought of those parasites who were good for nothing but causing trouble.

His already tense face immediately darkened.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lü Huan simply stopped arguing and turned to look at Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan, it's up to you to decide what to do next."

Upon hearing this, Nan Heng and Ai Guoqiang stopped their吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or complain) and looked at Lin Fan expectantly.

"Just like Zhuoyuan Shi, let's train the troops."

Lin Fan remained calm and composed, and smiled slightly.

Behind these few people stood a massive army of ten thousand!

They were elites from the Eastern Guard specially transferred by Lü Huan.

It consists of 9,000 intermediate-level monks, 980 advanced-level monks, and 20 super-level monks.

Even against a supreme monarch like the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree, it would have a fighting chance.

Now, with Lü Huan's words, command of this army has fallen into Lin Fan's hands.

The thrill of holding military power? The ambition for even greater power?

No, at this moment, Lin Fan felt only absolute calm and composure.

Chapter 25 Commanding Ten Thousand Armies and the True Full Map Hook

"Chief of the Southern Army, I'm counting on you this time as well."

Lin Fan spoke softly to Nan Heng in a familiar tone.

"Well, let's see how well we understand each other!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Heng nodded slightly, agreeing while also giving Lü Huan a nod.

As the Southern Cross-Island Army shone with a pinkish-purple light, bursts of sonic energy instantly spread throughout the entire army.

Everyone present heard Lin Fan's voice.

"From now on, I will be in command."
