Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God

Chapter 1281 - 1280

The Yun Sect, ever since learning that another group was coming to attack, found themselves engulfed in a tense atmosphere, with an air of fear looming over the entire sect.They had all been terrified by Xiao Fei; if it were not for Lin Fan’s assistance, the Yun Sect would likely have been annihilated. If another group of enemies as terrifying as Xiao Fei arrived while Lin Fan was gone, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Was another catastrophe on the horizon?

In the Yunmen Hall, the elders gathered to discuss the matter.

"Sect Leader, we can’t continue like this. Our Yun Sect’s treasure, for some reason, has attracted unwanted attention!" an elder said.

"Indeed, Sect Leader, we don’t even know how many people covet our treasure. Even if we can handle this batch of enemies, what about those who come after them?"

"Sect Leader, shouldn’t we consider the safety of our clan members?"

"What exactly is this treasure? Is it truly worth our entire Yun Clan risking their lives to protect?"

The elders offered their opinions one after another.

With a solemn expression, Yun Zhongzheng said, "This question is not up for debate. Our Yun Clan’s treasure must never fall into others’ hands. Even if we have to exert the full strength of the clan, we must defend it. Furthermore, if they truly covet it, we have no other choice; the people coming to seize the treasure won’t spare us. We have no option but to fight to the end!"

"Grandma" declared, "The Sect Leader is right. In facing incoming enemies, we cannot falter. The outcome is but two-fold: if the enemies are weaker than us, we destroy them; if they are stronger, we fight to the death. There’s no choice. A stronger enemy will kill us all even if we hand the treasure over."

Yun Zhongzheng said, "Grandma is right. If it’s a blessing, it’s not a curse; if it’s a curse, we cannot avoid it. What we can do is strengthen our defenses!"

Despite these words, Yun Zhongzheng looked worried. Guarding the treasure was certain, but if it truly led to annihilation, he couldn’t accept it.

No one contemplates annihilation if it can be avoided.

Even the Sect Leader was worried; it was clear what the mindset of the Yun Sect people was—they were anxious, apprehensive of what each day might bring. Living secluded in the mountains for years, they had led a life likened to a paradise away from worldly troubles, so such a crisis had not been felt for a long time.

At the Yun Sect gate, there were over a dozen people guarding it. To prevent foreign invasions, Yun Zhongzheng had strengthened the defenses. These guards were all skilled young talents from the Yun Sect.

Each guard was fully alert, not daring to relax for even a moment, like tightly strung bowstrings.

"There’s movement!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and immediately, everyone became tense.

A figure appeared, approaching the gate.

While everyone was nervously preparing for battle, they discovered that the approaching figure was a lame man.

"He’s our contact at the Cyan Ox Stronghold! Why is he here?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

The lame man reached the gate, saw the arrangement, and was startled: "Please do not be alarmed; I am here under Mr. Lin’s instructions to see Sect Leader Yun."

Everyone was stunned: "Mr. Lin? Could it be Lin Fan, Brother Lin?"

What happened that Lin Fan sent a message with the lame man to the Yun Sect?

The lame man said, "Exactly, I must see the Sect Leader immediately."

The guards dared not delay, promptly taking the lame man to see Yun Zhongzheng. Due to his difficulty in walking, someone was specially sent ahead to notify Yun Zhongzheng.

Learning that Lin Fan sent the lame man, Yun Zhongzheng and the others in the hall quickly went out to welcome him, with surrounding members of the Yun Clan gathering upon hearing the news.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Seeing Yun Zhongzheng, the lame man bowed hurriedly.

Yun Zhongzheng lifted him up and impatiently asked, "Did Mr. Lin send you? What happened?"

The lame man said, "Yes, this afternoon, three people came to the Cyan Ox Stronghold looking for the Yun Sect."

What?

The expressions of everyone changed. Someone was coming for the Yun Sect—could they be enemies?

Unexpectedly, the enemies had come so quickly!

Yun Zhongzheng asked, "Do you know who they are and why they are looking for the Yun Sect?"

The lame man said, "I’m not sure. We didn’t dare to ask. They captured our Old Village Chief to force him to reveal the whereabouts of the Yun Sect and threatened the entire village..."

The lame man told the story of the three evildoers coming to the Cyan Ox Stronghold, recounting how they caught a young woman and, in trying to force out the whereabouts of the Yun Sect, tore the woman’s clothes.

Everyone listened, righteous indignation rising—these villains were utterly despicable.

"I was very conflicted at the time—I couldn’t stand by while the villagers were harmed, yet I couldn’t betray the Yun Sect. At the crucial moment, Mr. Lin appeared, saying he could lead those three villains to the Yun Sect, and only then did they release the woman," the lame man said.

Yun Zhongzheng pressed, "And then?"

The lame man said, "Then Mr. Lin took the three villains away, but shortly after, he returned with them to the Cyan Ox Stronghold. The three villains were limping worse than me, clearly injured. It was obvious they had been dealt with by Mr. Lin."

On hearing this, everyone sighed in relief—Lin Fan had dealt with the three enemies for them, once again offering help!

Yun Zhongzheng asked, "What happened after that?"

The lame man said, "Villagers, who were deeply resentful toward the three villains, saw their weakened state and couldn’t let them go, swarming them and giving them a beating!"

"Good!"

The Yun Sect members cheered loudly, some even clapping. It was utterly satisfying!

The lame man continued, "In the end, the leading villain was accidentally beaten to death by the villagers, and the other two were also on their last legs. Mr. Lin asked the Old Village Chief whether to report it to the authorities, but the Old Village Chief declined. So, Mr. Lin left on his own. Before leaving, without others noticing, he asked me to go to the Yun Sect and inform the Sect Leader of the situation."

Yun Zhongzheng immediately understood Lin Fan’s intentions and said, "Are those three people still at the Cyan Ox Stronghold now?"

The lame man said, "Yes, two are near death, with one dead body retained. The Old Village Chief is unsure how to handle it."

Yun Zhongzheng said, "Lin Fan’s meaning is for us to bring back those three people. Once again, Lin Fan has helped us deal with three enemies! These three enemies are very likely the ones Xiao Fei mentioned."

The crowd nodded in agreement, filled with immense gratitude to Lin Fan. They were still nervous, yet Lin Fan had already helped them by intercepting the enemies halfway!

For a moment, every Yun Clan member was in absolute awe of Lin Fan.

Yun Zhongzheng then called on an elder to head to the Cyan Ox Stronghold to bring back Triangular Eyes’ body and the other two individuals to the Yun Sect.

Lin Fan having entrusted these three people to the Yun Sect was the right decision. Leaving them at the Cyan Ox Stronghold was not beneficial, for the Stronghold was just an ordinary mountain village unfamiliar with how to manage the three of them. By handing them to the Yun Sect, not only would it aid in learning about the enemy, but it would also relieve the Cyan Ox Stronghold of trouble—a strategy that served both benefits.

The Yun Sect people understood the depth of Lin Fan’s concerns and admired him even more.

By this time, Lin Fan had already driven away, leaving the Cyan Ox Stronghold and returning to Feng County.
