Invincible Dad-Chapter 611 I Didn’t Spend_1

Ruan Lan forced a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

Still sleeping at the Martial Dao Association... If I don’t beat the crap out of you today, my surname isn’t Ruan!

"Daoist Ruan, you’ve misunderstood," Gao He quickly pleaded. "That wasn’t what I meant. Mount Haitang is surrounded by the Three Sects and the Eight Pavilions; it’s very dangerous. That’s why I asked you to rest at the Martial Dao Association for the time being."

Gao He’s desire to live was so strong that he blurted out the explanation in a single breath.

"Heh," Ruan Lan sneered, clearly unconvinced.

It wasn’t just her; even Zhang Henshui, Zhao Wumian, and the others were shaking their heads.

"Old Gao, even if you admire Daoist Ruan, you shouldn’t resort to such a despicable excuse," Xu Wandao said sternly. "Senior Xu Lai’s cultivation is profound. The Three Sects and the Eight Pavilions wouldn’t dare to besiege Mount Haitang even if they had the heart of a leopard and the gall of a bear!"

"That’s right, you’re clearly just lusting after my body."

"You’re despicable!"

"..."

Gao He nearly coughed up blood. He was a man in his forties, and ever since his wife had fallen in battle in Chang’an City twenty years ago, he hadn’t entertained such thoughts about a woman even once.

Just as Gao He was at a loss for words, his close friend Tan Chang came to his aid. "It’s true, Mount Haitang has been besieged. Over a hundred thousand disciples from the Three Sects and the Eight Pavilions have gathered, preparing to attack."

"???"

Question marks popped up over the heads of Zhao Wumian and the others. Had all of the Eleven Holy Lands cultivated themselves into fools? The destruction of the Penglai Sword Pavilion was a clear lesson. Surrounding the Martial Dao Association was one thing, but besieging Mount Haitang? Did they want to follow in the footsteps of the Penglai Sword Pavilion and become history?

Only Ruan Lan felt slightly hurt.

So, he wasn’t lusting after her body.

Frustrated by his denseness, she chided, "President Gao, if you’re not using your eyes, you could donate them to someone in need."

"..."

Gao He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "My dear lady, your home is being surrounded! They’re planning to assassinate Senior Xu Lai! You should be concerned about this!"

"Tch," Ruan Lan scoffed. "If they’re seeking their own death, I can’t stop them. I’m going home to sleep; I have class in the morning."

Manipulating the flying Formation, Ruan Lan carried the sleeping Qian Xiao and Xu Yiyi away, their departure slow and unsteady.

"Hurry, follow them!" Gao He and Tan Chang were frantic. If a fight really broke out, it would be a huge loss for the Hua Country Cultivation World, regardless of who won.

Zhang Henshui, Zhao Wumian, and Xu Wandao exchanged glances.

Zhang Suzi said hesitantly, "Fairy Sister wouldn’t use a Formation to annihilate the Three Sects and the Eight Pavilions, would she?"

"She definitely would. Let’s follow them, too. There must be some misunderstanding here."

The four Watchmen and Xu Wandao followed, while the remaining Martial Ancestors decided to rest at the Martial Dao Association.

「On the sandy beach near Mount Haitang.」

The beach was teeming with countless people, occupying nearly the entire shoreline. They were all dressed in uniform attire, their gazes fixed on Mount Haitang above, their eyes filled with intense killing intent.

"Xu Lai has colluded with Golden Core Realm Cultivators from the Moon Clan!"

"I don’t know if he is a member of the Moon Clan or a traitor to the Human Race, but either way, he destroyed the Penglai Sword Pavilion."

"The disaster that befell Chang’an City might well have been orchestrated by Xu Lai, working with enemies from the outside."

"Today, the Eleven Holy Lands of the Hua Country have joined forces to vanquish the demon Xu Lai and return peace and order to our nation!" an elder standing in the air roared. He was the Pavilion Master of the Red Fire Pavilion, one of the Nine Pavilions, Daoist Chi Huo.

Next to Daoist Chi Huo stood Mo Lian, Sect Master of the Dao Sect; Qi Jiuyang, Sect Master of the Blade Sect; and Shen Xun, Sect Master of the Formation Sect. Along with them were the leaders of Lingyun Pavilion, Heavenly Snow Pavilion, and other Holy Lands. There were eleven of them in total, each with a face of grim resolve.

Previously, they had not been unified in their desire for revenge for the Penglai Sword Pavilion; they even had disagreements. Even when the Yunxiao Sect issued a command for them to gather, they had hesitated. But upon discovering that Xu Lai had conspired with the Moon Clan Princess, they were all enraged.

For Cultivators and commoners alike, there was a red line in their hearts that must not be crossed. This red line was the betrayal of the Human Race.

"KILL! KILL! KILL!"

The voices of over a hundred thousand disciples scattered the clouds in the sky.

Dawn was the designated time for the general attack. As time slowly passed, the sky began to brighten, and the morning sun was about to rise.

During the final minutes of waiting, Dao Sect’s Master, Mo Lian, sighed softly. "Who knows how many disciples from the Eleven Holy Lands will be left after today."

"Even if ten thousand, fifty thousand, or a hundred thousand of us are killed or injured, we must remove the tumor that is Xu Lai! We cannot allow him to harm another ordinary person!" the Formation Sect’s Master, Shen Xun, declared. He was a short old man, but his temper was no better than Daoist Chi Huo’s.

The leaders of the Holy Lands gradually fell silent. A gentle breeze began to blow, and a fog rose from the sea, drifting over the water’s surface to envelop all of Mount Haitang. It made the Haitang Court on the summit appear misty and ethereal, as if it were a land of immortals.

This fog arrived at a very inconvenient time, as it completely obscured the sunrise.

The disciples of the Eleven Holy Lands looked at each other in dismay, and Daoist Chi Huo was also stunned.

"Let’s just launch the general attack," Shen Xun, the Formation Sect Master, said. "If we wait for the fog to clear, who knows how long that will be."

"Alright." The Red Fire Pavilion’s Master nodded. He took a deep breath, just about to utter the words "Begin the attack."

Just then, they heard a woman’s voice from afar. "Excuse me, could you please move aside? Thank you."

"Huh???"

The leaders of the Holy Lands, including Daoist Chi Huo, were all stunned. They saw a flying Formation pass right by them. It was Ruan Lan.

She tilted her head, not seeing the hundreds of thousands of disciples shrouded in the fog, only the eleven leaders in front of her. She immediately pouted and said, "With just a few of you, you want to attack Mount Haitang? You’re really seeking death."

"And who might you be?" Mo Lian’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Me? I’m Ruan Lan, Sect Hierarch of the Star Origin Sect, the number one beauty of the Four Immortal Domains, the dream goddess of countless male Cultivators in the Immortal Domain..." Ruan Lan rattled on and on, before adding, "And also, the woman Xu Lai will never have in this lifetime."

"...?"

As the leader of the Dao Sect, Mo Lian had cultivated his demeanor over the years and always maintained an unfazed attitude, as tranquil as an old well. But facing this young woman, for some reason, his face darkened slightly. "So, what exactly are you here for?"

"Oh, I’m going home to sleep. Would you mind moving aside?" Ruan Lan said politely. "You’re blocking my path."

There was only one home ahead: the Haitang Court.

Shen Xun, who had initially been admiring the ingenuity of the flying Formation, suddenly felt his pupils shrink as he blurted out in anger, "Are you Xu Lai’s sister-in-law? The Human Race traitor’s?"

"Ha?" Ruan Lan was not pleased. "You’re the traitor. Your whole family is full of traitors."

"Hmph! The enchantress dares to argue? The matter of your brother-in-law, Xu Lai, colluding with Moon Clan experts has been proven beyond a doubt!" Daoist Chi Huo sneered. "Tie her and these two children up. We can use them against Xu Lai later."

Ruan Lan was absolutely furious.

These despicable old fools actually want to use Yiyi and Qian Xiao to threaten my brother-in-law, Xu Lai! He was the one who gave away hundreds of precious elixirs to heal the injured Chang’an City Martial Artists! Without them, at least a hundred people would have died, and many more would have suffered from lasting injuries.

"I was going to bring your mother a flower," Ruan Lan pouted, "but then I remembered—I don’t have a flower, and you don’t have a mother. Otherwise, you wouldn’t say such inhuman things!"

"..."
