Zhao Qing Ying had finally recuperated fully and summoned the peak lords.
He had only one thing in mind: to destroy Li Rong’s hideout in the Tai Mountains.
"We will organize a party and root out every one of those Dark Lotus Sect disciples," Zhao Qing Ying said.
"Are we even sure they are still in the Tai Mountains? Wouldn’t they have run away after getting what they wanted?" Han Dang stood up and asked.
"The team that I sent says that they are still in the hideout," Hun Yen Kun said.
"Wouldn’t that be an obvious trap? Waiting there for us to step right in?" Han Dang asked.
Zhao Qing Ying frowned and shook his head. "Trap or no trap.
"We will have to go in and get rid of them.
"The longer we wait, the more time they have to prepare."
His style was direct compared to Qing Yang Zi, who always weighed different options.
The other peak lords agreed with his viewpoint and nodded their heads.
Previous encounters had been disastrous whenever the Dark Lotus Sect came to them.
It was best for them to take the initiative.
"Zhang Yi Nian, this time, you stay behind and be on alert in the sect. We can’t afford the risk of you being captured," Zhao Qing Ying glanced at Zhang Yi Nian and said.
"Yes, senior martial uncle," Zhang Yi Nian shrugged and said.
Zhang Yi Nian then went on to discuss the attack plan with the peak lords.
Each peak would have to send their best and be ready to move out for the Tai Mountains two days later.
...
Unsurprisingly, Lin Fan was selected as one of the disciples.
So, for the next two days, he gathered essentials into his toad statue.
He started with items like candles, food, water, and clothes.
Guo He Ru had completed another batch of Heavenly Rejuvenate Pills and Glorious Poison Recovery Pills.
Just in time for Lin Fan to have before going on the mission.
After everything was done, he summoned the system’s information panel in his mind.
[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]
[Wild Rabbit Ability Level: 2/3]
[Wolf Ability Level: 3/3]
[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 3/3]
[Current Physique Level: 7 (6400 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]
[Current Vengeance Point: 3800]
[Level Up Beast Ability? Y/N]
He had 3800 vengeance points left, far from enough to upgrade his physique, but sufficient for his Wild Rabbit Ability.
Knowing what Li Rong was capable of, Lin Fan knew he had to be ready for the worst.
To further increase his odds of survival, he decided to level up his Wild Rabbit Ability.
He thought to himself silently, level up beast ability.
[Ding!]
[Wild Rabbit Ability Level Up Successfully]
[Sound Memory is now Resonant Echo – Listen to sounds as far as 5KM. Generate any sounds and unleash them as sound traps.]
[Shadow Slip is now Phantom Step – Can phase through obstacles for longer duration of 30 seconds. If passing through an enemy, disrupt their Qi flow, causing momentary imbalance.]
[Chain Leap is now Skybound Stride – Each leap allows momentary hovering for 10 seconds.]
[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]
[Wild Rabbit Ability Level: 3/3]
[Wolf Ability Level: 3/3]
[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 3/3]
[Current Physique Level: 7 (6400 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]
[Current Vengeance Point: 800]
Lin Fan was pleased when he saw Phantom Step’s description.
He activated it and turned into mist.
He passed through the walls of the wooden hut, then through the trees outside the open hut.
And after 30 seconds, he turned back into human form again.
Although it took up more of his energy, he could dodge attacks for a much longer duration now.
The only way to help with it was to increase his cultivation level or level up his physique.
His vengeance points were far from it, so he studiously went to the Physique Peak to practice his cultivation.
...
Tai Mountains.
Li Rong was sitting in her chair brushing her hair.
A disciple knelt before her and briefed her on the Qing Feng Sect’s movements.

"My Lady Saint, their spy team was snooping around again. Shall we get rid of them?" the disciple asked.
Li Rong held her hair and brought it up to see if it was untangled.
She bit her lips and brushed on the ends as it was still entangled.
"Let them be. I need them to convey the information that we are waiting for them here."
She sighed as she saw her hair finally straightened.
Plop.
Li Rong put down her brush and glanced at the disciple in front of her.
She lifted the chin of the disciple with her hands and said, "Summon the twelve astrology guards. Get them prepared for the onslaught."
"The twelve astrology guards... let me get to it." The disciple’s face blushed as he saw Li Rong’s seductive eyes looking at him.
He quickly scurried away and got to work.
Li Rong smirked as she saw his reactions.
Men are all the same, she thought.
All except for the Dark Lord.
She tapped her fingers on the tabletop as if drumming for his return.
...
Bian Jing, Capital of Quan Dynasty.
In the center of the capital stood the imperial palace.
Emperor Quan Shi was looking at a letter in his hands.
His hands shook as he read the report from the front lines.
After battling for so long, his army had finally managed to push the Hulu Tribe back to the north.
Now he had time to turn his focus back to his territories.
"Your Majesty, the Qing Feng Sect is planning to destroy the stronghold of the Dark Lotus Sect in the Tai Mountains," his Chief Eunuch knelt and said.
The Emperor raged and swept the teacup off the table with his hand, sending it crashing to the floor.
The Chief Eunuch quickly crawled a few steps back.
"Useless fools! Taking so much time to finish off a cult!" he fumed.
"Your Majesty, maybe we could..." The Chief Eunuch didn’t dare to finish his sentence.
"Speak your mind, I wouldn’t fault you for that," the Emperor, Quan Shi, said.
