NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 229: I’m The Victim Here!
It didn't take long for the others to return. They boarded the flying ship and set off for the Dao Seeking School.
Not only were all the selected disciples present, but even Elder Jiang came along. He would accompany them to the Black Turtle Sect and return with them after the participants for the war against the foreigners were chosen.
The trip was short, less than an hour later, they arrived at the Dao Seeking School. At the same plaza where the Young Generation Competition had taken place, thousands of people were waiting.
They had gathered from across the Dao Seeking School's territory. Each group of young disciples was accompanied by an elder from their sect. The plaza wasn't just filled with the Dao Seeking School's vassals, its own disciples were also present, standing alongside their elders.
Long Liu stepped off the flying ship and looked at the crowd below. Their faces showed a mix of excitement and determination.
"Greetings, everyone. I appreciate all of you who have come here to fight alongside us in this battle. We will now head to the Black Turtle Sect. The selection for the war against the foreigners will take place in a few days. Please, board the ship."
No one hesitated. Without a word, the gathered disciples took to the air and quickly boarded the flying vessel.
Feng Fan watched with interest as people entered. He recognized a few sects from the Qian Empire who had competed in the Young Generation Competition, but most were from regions he had never visited.
Suddenly, a strong killing intent locked onto him. His instincts flared, and he turned toward the source. A man was staring at him, his face expressionless, yet his presence radiated hostility.
Then, Feng Fan connected his mind to his, allowing Feng Fan to hear the man's thoughts.
'Feng Fan, enjoy the little time you have. When that man's plan is complete, you and the White Crow Sect will be wiped from this world!'
Feng Fan frowned. 'A plan to destroy the White Crow Sect… under the Dao Seeking School's watch? How do they plan to pull that off?'
Noticing Feng Fan's gaze, the man forced a smile before slipping away into the crowd. Feng Fan followed, keeping his distance while blending in with the bustling ship.
'Right now, I'm in the light, and they're in the dark. But if I gather enough information, that can change,' thought Feng Fan.
As he trailed the man, he overheard another thought seep into his mind.
'For making my Heavenly Sword Sect disappear… that Feng Fan must suffer a terrible death!'
Feng Fan's eyes narrowed. 'So he's a remnant of the Heavenly Sword Sect… He must have joined another sect and is now plotting revenge. But what exactly is this plan? And who is the mastermind he mentioned?'
His gaze fell on the emblem embroidered on the man's robes—a monkey holding a polearm. Feng Fan committed it to memory. The man's face wouldn't be forgotten either. When the time was right, he would capture him and extract the information he needed.
'Though he's at the Dao Seeking Realm, as long as I trap him in one of my arrays, he'll be nothing more than a plaything,' Feng Fan thought. 'I'll ask Elder Jiang later, he should know which sect this emblem belongs to.'
Feng Fan stopped following the man and made his way to where the White Crow Sect members were gathered.
With a bright smile, he closed the distance and stopped beside Elder Jiang, a grin formed on his face.
Elder Jiang saw the expression and immediately frowned. 'This troublemaker is up to something!'
Feng Fan's smile stiffened when he heard Elder Jiang's thoughts. 'Elder Jiang… I'm the victim here! People are coming after me, how is this my fault?!'
Still, the words that left his mouth weren't what he had thought. "Elder Jiang, do you know a sect with a monkey holding a polearm as their emblem?"
Elder Jiang eyed him suspiciously. "Why? You got a problem with them?"
Feng Fan shook his head. "Of course not, Elder Jiang! When have I, Feng Fan, ever gone looking for trouble? I only make friends, not enemies!"
Elder Jiang rolled his eyes. "That's the Monkey King Sect. They're a mid-tier sect from the Qian Empire."
Feng Fan nodded. "Thank you, Elder Jiang."
Elder Jiang expected him to leave right after getting what he wanted. To his surprise, Feng Fan simply sat down and began cultivating. Seeing this, Elder Jiang smiled and nodded in approval.
'This brat is actually improving. Instead of stirring up trouble, he's focusing on his cultivation!'
Of course, that thought only existed because he couldn't hear Feng Fan's own.
'Monkey King Sect, huh? You shouldn't have taken in remnants of the Heavenly Sword Sect… Don't blame me if your sect ends up destroyed.'
The hours passed quietly as the flying vessel continued its journey.
Finally, they arrived at the Black Turtle Sect.
A massive barrier came into view as the ship gradually slowed down.
'A tier 8 barrier, not bad,' Feng Fan analyzed. 'Same tier as the Dao Seeking School's, but it seems a little weaker. Their Dao Array heritage must be inferior.'
Feng Fan activated his spiritual qi vision and analyzed the barrier. As a tier 6 Array Master, along with his spiritual qi vision, deciphering its structure was effortless.
He even considered how he would break through if necessary. But after a few moments, he shook his head.

'It would take at least half an hour to enter without alerting the Black Turtle Sect.'
The flying vessel slowly descended, landing on the ground.
A group of ten elders, dressed in Taoist robes with a turtle emblem on their chests, approached.
Long Liu and several elders from the Dao Seeking School stepped forward to greet them.
"Elder Long, thank you for coming," said a muscular elder leading the Black Turtle Sect's delegation.
Feng Fan narrowed his eyes at the man.
'This is the strongest Body Cultivator I've ever seen!'
