Chapter 148 - In A Dire Strait
"Alright, since the five sects are now gathered here in the dome, I guess I will now explain how the Sect Wars this time." Elder Pang, one of the elders of the Royal Castle, said. He was the one who stopped the fight a while ago. He was also the one who was tasked to play the Sect Wars.
Actually, it should be seven sects participating right now. However, the Azure Hall and Blossoming Flowers had withdrawn, entering seclusion. Of course, everyone knew why this was the move of the two sects. Thus, there were only five sects to participate in the Sect Wars.
Even though it was like this, the dome was still packed with people. One could not see any vacant seats at all in the spectator's area. There was no wonder this Sect Wars was so popular.
The five sects had sent out their three best inner core disciples, the most talented of all. Of course, Soaring Phoenix Sect also sent their best disciples, and it included the arrogant Larl.
Seeing that the disciples were already prepared, Elder Pang smiled and said, "Since everybody is looking forward to this, I will not let this prolong any more. As you can see, this dome has an extreme formation, which created this dense forest. Although it is only a formation, a domain formation at that, everything you will experience inside is real. So be careful."
The disciples looked around. Indeed, this was a dense forest, one glance and you could claim this as a real forest, not a domain formation.
He paused for a moment and continued, "See that mini flags each of the group is currently possessing? That is your lifeline. In order to win this Sect Wars, a group should capture the flag of their enemies. Once they got the flag, the sect which the flag came from, will automatically lose and would be automatically bail out of the formation. So each group should pay attention and be more careful when handling their flags. If in case, a sect had two flags in their possession, and another sect had stolen their flag, automatically the flags will be in the possession of the offender. Remember, this Sect Wars is one sect standing battle. The flags were only lifelines that should the group to take care of. It can be called the heart of the group. So since these flags existed, gravely injuring an opponent is strictly prohibited. If anyone of you did not abide this, then don't blame me for being rude! Does everyone understand this?" Old Pang's voice was domineering enough to broke most of the disciples in cold sweat except Larl and Lin Fan.
The disciples answered in unison.
"Then, the battle will be for an hour. If after one hour and there were still more than one sect standing, the group with the most flags captured will be the victor. So good luck! Let the Sect Wars begin!" Old Pang smiled and disappeared.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five groups dashed towards the dense forest. And fighting sounds could be heard immediately, with a clashing and clanking sounds of swords.

Thirty minutes had passed, Soaring Phoenix's disciples pulverized the three sects. That's right, they aimed for the other enemies first to ensure that no one will interfere in their hunt against the LD sect's disciples.
In the middle part of the forest, Mei Xiao, Ran Haoyu and Lin Fan could be seen.
"The three sects were annihilated just like that." Ran Haoyu worriedly said, "It seems they intentionally make us the last prey."
"Sister Ran, of course, they will." Lin Fan smiled without a hint of worry, "That bastard is confident that he can devour us whole. But his arrogance will be his karma later."
Mei Xiao, who was silent all along, said, "Big Senior Lin, you should raze him to the ground clean!"
"But of course, rest assured, Little Mei. I will also rob him clean, although I can't kill him here, I will humiliate him." Lin Fan chuckled.
"Then I would like to see how you will rob and humiliate me clean." Suddenly, three figures appeared on the high branch of a tree. Obviously, they were Larl and the two inner core sect disciples of Soaring Phoenix.
He slowly descended to the ground in a majestic manner and continued, "Just because you are an Emperor Realm cultivator, you already think you can do what you want?" Larl showed a mocking smile and revealed his full aura.
"Emperor Realm, third stage..." Lin Fan's expression drastically changed. He did not expect that Larl was this powerful! He was only at the first stage of Emperor Realm, the same with Ran Haoyu. As for Mei Xiao, although he could not see through it since Little Mei hid it well, he deduced that she was also at the very best, an Emperor Realm, first stage.
Ran Haoyu frowned, "Senior Brother, it seems we are in a dire situation"
Lin Fan did not say anything else. If things came to worst, he could just cast his emperor-class technique to buy time for Ran Haoyu and Mei Xiao to get the opponent's flag. However, this plan had a low chance of success. In his estimation, there was only five percent of succeeding. Such a large gamble with odds against them.
He knew that even he used his emperor-armament, he could still not contend with this guy. After all, the emperor armament could only raise his power up to the peak of the first stage of Emperor Realm.
They were really in a bad situation. Lin Fan did not expect that he would be eating his words. As the Senior Brother of these two girls, it was really shameful. Especially if their sectmaster was currently watching. If it's just him, he would immediately run away, however, with the two sister disciples with him, how could he do that?
Lin Fan gritted his teeth, releasing the emperor-armament Blade of Damnation! This blade has a golden hilt with a black aura lingering around it. Seeing that he released his emperor armament, Ran Haoyu also released hers, the Green Bow Of Suffocating Angel! After which, they took the offense.
"Emperor armaments?" Larl was surprised to see this. To think that such a degraded sect had two emperor armaments! His eyes flashed with greed and sinisterly smiled, "Those armaments will be mine."
