Chapter 865 Conference
Chapter 865 Conference
Lin Fan didn't have any fear that the four sects would be weakened because of his actions.
Since they were weakened, they wouldn't be able to fulfill their roles as cannon fodder as well as if they were as strong as they were before. As such, it would mean that the mission to subdue these sects would only be considered a half success.
Still, Lin Fan didn't care at all about this.
After all, he knew that the most important thing was loyalty.
It didn't matter how strong they were if they were disloyal since all that it would mean is having another knife in the dark to look out for. It was better to just snip their wings and train them to be loyal pets than to leave them as wolves that could betray them at any moment.
Just because someone gave them a piece of their soul, that didn't mean that they would be absolutely loyal.
There were all kinds of strange techniques that were in this world, so there should be ways of getting out of giving up a piece of one's soul. Perhaps it would be some kind of special soul preserving elixir or something else.
In fact, even just becoming strong enough would be enough to preserve one's soul since the stronger that one became, the less that piece of their soul that was separated mattered.
After a certain point, losing that fragment wouldn't matter at all.
Especially for the stronger experts that went beyond the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Nascent Soul Realm was a realm where one would develop a new soul.
So that was why Lin Fan killed all of the ancestors and sect masters.
The elders were different since they could be trained as well. In fact, the elders were already partly trained since the reason why they would even join these sects in the first place was to rely on these sects for protection and resources.
With the resources that Lin Fan had, he was sure that he would be able to use carrot and stick to get them under his thumb.
Once that happened, it wouldn't matter how they tried, they wouldn't be able to escape the grasp of the Love Sect.
But he also had to explain this matter to Mu Bao Bao.
Or it was better to say that he had to explain this in a way so that Mu Bao Bao would be able to convince her ministers and generals why what he did was fine. Why it was alright that these sects were weakened because of his actions.
In the first place, they were the reason why this matter was pushed so hard that Mu Bao Bao brought it up with Lin Fan. Otherwise, she would have used her power to suppress this matter completely.
"It's better to have loyal dogs than to have a dog that will one day bite your hand." Lin Fan kept insisting on this when Mu Bao Bao asked him about this.
She looked at him with narrowed eyes as if she was exhausted hearing this, but she didn't push the matter in the end.
Instead, she brought up a different matter.
"The Mu Empire will be hosting a conference for the sects soon. You will have to lead the Love Sect to participate in this conference." Mu Bao Bao said with a sigh.
For this to work, there had to be prizes offered that would incentivize the sects to do their best. Just like how there would be punishments prepared for those that were found to be traitors.
Only the punishments wouldn't be done in the light of day.
Mu Bao Bao gave a nod as she understood why he asked this before saying, "There's all kinds of prizes that are prepared, but the biggest one will be a special item. That is all I can tell you for now."
Lin Fan raised a brow to look at Mu Bao Bao, but she didn't say anything to explain.
It seemed like she was really intent on keeping this matter a secret no matter what.
That just made Lin Fan even more curious about what she was hiding, but it didn't seem like she was willing to say anything.
In the end, he just said with a sigh, "I'll have to talk to the others first."
Mu Bao Bao nodded in agreement with this since she felt that this was important too.
Even if she was the empress of the Mu Empire, she still considered herself one of the members of the Love Sect. So she cared very much about the Love Sect and she didn't want to force them into anything.
Even if she was supposed to force them since this was an important matter for the Mu Empire in making sure that the sects were loyal to them.
Though in reality, the people of the Love Sect cared very much for Mu Bao Bao as well.
If it was Mu Bao Bao's request, then there was almost no way that they would reject this.
It would have to be something that really went against their code of ethics for them to reject a favour from her.
Lin Fan then asked, "What kind of demonic cultivators are being targeted in this Demon Slaying Conference?"
Mu Bao Bao gave a nod before taking out a map.
It seemed like she had already expected this question and had been prepared to answer this.
The map that she took out seemed to be a map of a valley.
"This is Dragon Beard Canyon, it is where five different demonic sects will be holding a meeting in two weeks. This is the target for our Demon Slaying Conference."
Lin Fan raised a brow as if he was asking her how she obtained this information.
Mu Bao Bao just calmly said, "The Mu Empire is a large organization, we have our ways of getting information."
Lin Fan seemed to think about it at first before giving a nod of agreement.
"The plan is to..." Mu Bao Bao just continued to lay out the plan for the Demon Slaying Conference.
