Urban Invincible Mad Immortal

Zhang Huaide was an experienced and shrewd man, and when Lin Fan put things this way, he naturally knew what to do.

Going with the flow was the wisest choice; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived to this day and achieved such a high position!

"Haha, Palace Master Lin Fan, you jest. I was just joking with you earlier and meant no harm. You're right, a crisis is imminent, and we cultivators of Great Xia must unite as one to deal with this powerful enemy."

As for any kind of sparring, fists and feet have no eyes, and this old man with his neck almost buried in the yellow earth can't take a beating!

Zhang Huaide was completely different from his previous aggressive demeanor; he now gave the impression of being a very kind old man.

These words caused a huge uproar among the crowd. Without a doubt, Zhang Huaide backed down!

The dignified leader of Longhu Mountain, one of the top experts in the Great Xia Dynasty, was actually afraid in the face of Lin Fan's oppressive aura!

Lin Fan was too lazy to argue with the old man and immediately withdrew his oppressive aura.

Zhang Huaide immediately felt much more relaxed, and his eyes became much clearer.

Long Tiangang, who had remained silent, nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his lips.

Even that old fellow Zhang Huaide has his day!

Lin Fan cleared his throat and spoke purely with his true qi, without using a microphone: "Fellow Daoists, I, Lin Fan, am of limited talent and experience. I have been entrusted with the trust of my seniors to become the new Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace."

Actually, I have no interest in the position of temple master. If it weren't for the impending catastrophe, I wouldn't have taken this position.

Here, I can say frankly that the day the catastrophe ends will be the day I step down as the Lord of the Dragon God Palace. At that time, who becomes the Lord will be none of my concern.

Lin Fan's words caused an uproar in the meeting room.

The Dragon God Temple has now returned to the top of the five great temples, and becoming the temple master of the Dragon God Temple is definitely a blessing earned over several lifetimes.

Lin Fan's words were so definitive, leaving him no room for maneuver. Most people had the same thought: Is this guy an idiot?

Lin Fan scanned the crowd, his eyes seeming to see through everything.

However, he didn't care. Instead, he looked at everyone seriously and said, "Fellow Daoists, some of you already know the truth about the calamity, but many more don't. Let me explain the specific situation first."

Lin Fan explained the current situation in great detail, including the Western Frontier Demons' conspiracy and the impending invasion of the extraterrestrial demons. He described everything clearly, down to the smallest detail.

Zhang Huaide, who had been somewhat doubtful, suddenly turned grim. He finally understood why the Grand Elder had said that.

If it's really as Lin Fan said, then it is indeed a very troublesome problem!

"That's roughly how things are. I'm not sure if the Western Frontier Demons have completed the sacrifice. The Grand Elder has already sent a note to India through the national level, warning them to be careful."

However, India's response was perfunctory; clearly, they did not believe that the Western Frontier Demons would do such a thing.

In that case, all we can do now is take the initiative and attack the Western Frontier Demons, nipping their plans in the bud!

Even though Zhang Huaide was wary of Lin Fan, he still frowned, shook his head, and said, "Palace Master Lin, I certainly believe what you say, and none of you here will doubt it either."

However, your approach might be a bit tricky.

"Not easy to handle? Master Zhang, what do you mean by that? The Western Frontier Demons' conspiracy has been exposed. Are we just going to stand by and do nothing, waiting for them to succeed in their sacrifice and attract extraterrestrial demons?"

"When the extraterrestrial demons descend, how many people will die in Great Xia? How many lives will be lost worldwide? Have you ever thought about that?"

Lin Fan's tone was very displeased. In his view, the old man's intention to oppose him had not changed at all.

Zhang Huaide shook his head and said, "Palace Master Lin, please don't get agitated. That's not what I meant."

To put it simply, our Great Xia and the Western Frontier Demons have been at peace for several years now, and we've kept to ourselves.

Although the intelligence we obtained this time is very detailed, as long as the Western Frontier Demons insist that they did not do it, our initiative to attack them would be a blatant act of aggression!

Our Great Xia has always advocated peace; to actively invade other countries would make us a target of public criticism.

At this point in Zhang Huaide's speech, most of the respected elders in the council nodded in agreement. As the decision-making body of Great Xia, they naturally had to consider many more things.

Lin Fan was clearly getting impatient and was about to explode when Long Tiangang suddenly spoke up: "Master Zhang, what you said does make some sense. However, nothing in this world is immutable."

Although our Great Xia cherishes peace, if our peace becomes appeasement, indulgence, or accompliceship, then our so-called advocacy for peace will become a huge joke.

The Western Frontier Demons are actively preparing for war, while we wait to be passively attacked. Is there any logic to this?

Long Tiangang's voice was deafening, and soon, a murmur of discussion arose in the hall. Clearly, many people still supported Long Tiangang.

Zhang Huaide frowned and said in a deep voice, "Long Tiangang, what you said is a bit excessive! When have I ever appeased or condoned anything?"

My meaning is clear: there must be a suitable reason to start a war, and that reason must be justifiable!

"The reason? It's very simple!"

Lin Fan suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhang Huaide.

Zhang Huaide looked at Lin Fan with a puzzled expression and said, "Palace Master Lin, do you mean...?"

Lin Fan remained indifferent and said, "Master Zhang, I'm afraid you don't know my background, do you? I am the son of Lin Zongyao, the former deputy head of the Dragon God Palace!"

Zhang Huaide suddenly stood up from his seat, looking at Lin Fan with a shocked expression.

It is common knowledge that Lin Zongyao colluded with the Western Frontier Demon Clan, and the evidence is conclusive. He is an out-and-out traitor!

Now, Lin Fan, the son of a traitor, has brazenly become the master of the Dragon God Temple and wields such great power in the Great Xia Dynasty. This is absurd even to a child!

Zhang Huaide immediately looked at the Grand Elder, who nodded, stood up, and said, "Palace Master Lin is indeed a hero of Great Xia, the son of Vice Palace Master Lin Zongyao! There is actually another matter to be announced at this meeting. Since Palace Master Lin has mentioned it in advance, then I will announce it in advance as well."

As everyone knows, five years ago, Lin Zongyao was labeled a traitor, accused of colluding with the Western Frontier Demon Clan, and there was various evidence against him.

What I want to say is that all this evidence is fake. It was Xuanyuan Wuer who framed others for his own personal gain and committed this evil deed!

That is why Xuanyuan Wuer was executed in the Mingzheng Code!

Therefore, Lin Zongyao is not only not a traitor, but also a true hero of our Great Xia!

As soon as the Grand Elder finished speaking, a long silence fell over the hall.

Suddenly, a round of applause came from the direction of the Dragon God Temple, and soon, various applause echoed in the hall.

Many people present did not believe from the beginning that Lin Zongyao was a traitor, but now that the truth has come out, how could they not be excited?

Lin Fan was trembling with excitement. His father and brother had been wrongfully imprisoned for five years, and today their case was finally overturned. You can imagine how excited he was.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand to quell the noise in the hall, and said, "Elder, on behalf of my father, I thank you for your fair judgment!"

Furthermore, let me answer Zhang Tianshi's question again! My reason is very simple, just two words: revenge!

The person who harmed my father and brothers was not only Xuanyuan Wuer, but also the Western Frontier Demon Clan!

The Western Frontier Demon Clan has eroded the backbone of our Great Xia! This is a blatant declaration of war! If our Great Xia doesn't even have the courage to fight back, how can we stand on this land?

I, Lin Fan, am willing to be the vanguard in annihilating the demonic race of the Western Frontier, braving mountains of knives and seas of fire!

Fellow Daoists, are you willing to join me in conquering the Western Frontier, annihilating the demon race, and restoring peace to the world?
