Urban Invincible Mad Immortal

The news that the five great temples of Great Xia had begun to unite quickly spread throughout the world, and all forces were keeping a close eye on Great Xia.

Soon, the Great Xia Dynasty publicly announced the various evil deeds of the Western Frontier Demons, especially notifying the Indian Kingdom.

However, the response was unbelievable to many.

The Indians actually said that the Great Xia was exaggerating, claiming that their Indians had not been attacked at all.

It's impossible to reason with a damned devil. Given the Western Frontier Demon's skillful methods, it's entirely understandable that the people of India didn't notice.

Furthermore, given the close relationship between the two countries, India would never suspect the Western Frontier Demons, let alone anyone else!

Everything that needed to be said had been said. Since they didn't believe it, all that Great Xia could do was prepare for war.

If the extraterrestrial demons were to truly descend, Lin Fan would certainly not be foolish enough to lead the entire Great Xia Dynasty into battle to protect it.

His thinking is very realistic: guard your own little plot of land, be a good person when you're poor, and help others when you're rich!

Mobilized by the Council of Elders of Great Xia, countless cultivators from Great Xia gathered in the capital, and even some so-called hidden sects sent representatives.

Long Tiangang made an extremely important decision: to directly pass on the position of Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace to Lin Fan.

Now that the Dragon God Temple has reclaimed its place in the main hall, Lin Fan's influence has significantly increased, making him second only to the Senate.

Lin Fan did not refuse, after all, everything was for the sake of the people of Great Xia. He would resign from the position of Palace Master after this crisis was over.

Thus, an important meeting was held at the Imperial Capital Grand Hall.

This is the largest meeting since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, and almost all the powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty have been gathered here.

"Fellow practitioners, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this conference. On behalf of the Great Xia government, I extend my warmest welcome and sincerest gratitude to all of you!"

As soon as the elder statesman finished speaking, a burst of enthusiastic applause suddenly erupted.

The Grand Elder's prestige was extraordinary; even those reclusive sects treated him with utmost respect.

The Grand Elder pressed his hand down, and the applause gradually subsided.

"Everyone, next, Palace Master Lin Fan will explain the current situation. Please give him a round of applause!"

As soon as the Grand Elder finished speaking, another round of applause rang out.

Lin Fan arrived at the podium and was about to speak when a soft cough came from somewhere.

It was an old man dressed in purple robes, and he exuded a powerful aura that was in no way weaker than that of Xuan Yuan Wu Er before.

"Elder, before this Palace Master Lin Fan speaks, could you please explain to us why the personnel changes in the five great temples of Great Xia are so hasty? How can a mere greenhorn become the Palace Master of the Dragon God Temple?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone from the five temples looked at him, but no one spoke up to refute him.

The reason is simple: this old man is none other than Zhang Huaide, the current head of Longhu Mountain!

Xuanyuan Wuer was once undoubtedly the strongest among the five great temples, but in the cultivation world of Great Xia, he was not the strongest.

For example, this Celestial Master Zhang Huaide was a powerful reclusive master who disliked fighting, was content with little, and did not concern himself with worldly affairs.

He wouldn't have come out of seclusion this time if the Grand Elder hadn't repeatedly invited him.

Unexpectedly, he learned such shocking news as soon as he left the mountain: a greenhorn had become the master of the Dragon God Palace and even dealt with Xuan Yuan Wu Er. Of course, he could not accept it.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking coldly at Zhang Huaide.

He never expected that at such a critical moment of life and death, this old guy would still cause trouble. Isn't he just plain crazy?

The Grand Elder looked hesitant and was about to explain when Lin Fan decisively spoke up: "May I ask how to address this gentleman?"

Zhang Huaide stood tall and spoke coldly, "I am Zhang Huaide, the leader of Longhu Mountain! Palace Master Lin Fan, what brings you here?"

Lin Fan's lips curled slightly, his tone indifferent: "I dare not accept your instruction. I just feel that you say I am still wet behind the ears, but what about you? Are you taking advantage of your seniority?"

"The Great Xia Dynasty is facing a tremendous crisis, its empire on the verge of collapse. At such a critical moment, instead of thinking about how to resolve it, Sect Leader Zhang is raising questions in this setting. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Zhang Huaide snorted coldly and said, "The great building is about to collapse? Palace Master Lin Fan, don't be so alarmist! Don't think I don't know the purpose of your five great temples. You want to find an excuse to enhance your status."

You want to use the name of the nation to make the entire cultivation world obey your commands! And you are just a puppet they've put forward!

At this point, Zhang Huaide looked at the Grand Elder and said, "Grand Elder, your integrity and uprightness have always impressed me."

I never expected you to make such a decision at this moment, resorting to such a pointless tactic. I am very disappointed in you!

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's face darkened, and he said, "Master Zhang, you've gone too far! Our Council of Elders convened this meeting entirely for the sake of all living beings, and Heaven and Earth can attest to that!"

"Now that the meeting has just begun, Master Zhang, you've already labeled us with such accusations. Isn't that a bit too arbitrary of you to do so!"

Zhang Huaide sneered and said, "Whether it is arbitrary or not, everyone has their own scale in their heart. It cannot be determined by your or my words."

Anyway, this is the thought in my heart, and it won't change!

As soon as Zhang Huaide finished speaking, an incredibly terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon him. Lin Fan couldn't hold back and unleashed his power!

The sudden pressure almost made Zhang Huaide lose his footing. After he came to his senses, he looked at Lin Fan in shock.

He had always thought that Lin Fan was just a puppet put forward by the five great temples, controlled by the Senate to facilitate the Senate's actions.

As for Xuanyuan Wuer's death, it couldn't possibly have been Lin Fanqian's doing.

I never expected that Lin Fan would actually have such terrifying strength!

If he hadn't been quite strong and hadn't reacted quickly, he would have definitely lost face!

Lin Fan looked at Zhang Huaide with a smile and said, "Master Zhang, I understand your doubts. If I were in your shoes, I would have raised the same questions."

However, despite the doubts, we can discuss them in detail after the meeting.

If you feel I am unsuitable to be the Lord of the Dragon God Temple, unworthy of this position, you may examine me. For example, we could have a brief, friendly sparring session so I can properly guide... this junior's cultivation.

As Lin Fan spoke, the pressure emanating from his body became increasingly terrifying, and it was controlled extremely well, all of it falling on his head.

A moment later, the floor tiles beneath his feet cracked slightly, so much so that he could barely stand and had to put his hands on the table.

Cold sweat streamed down his face. At that moment, he finally understood one thing.

Xuanyuan Wuer will definitely die at Lin Fan's hands. That kid is a monster, and we can't mess with him!
