The demonic horse said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, everyone flinched.
Good heavens.
Too brutal.
It was simply a peerless demonic fiend that slaughtered like a butcher.
If Ling Fan were not here, who could subdue it?
The toad was also a little afraid of it and dared not speak.
Ling Fan looked at everyone, then at the demonic horse and the toad, and said, "Find a place to stay. I have something to say."
Everyone entered Guansheng City.
Because of the demonic horse's earlier rampage, the originally prosperous streets of Guansheng City were instantly empty. Some of it was because the demonic horse had killed too many people, and on the other hand, it was also because they feared the demonic horse and had all hidden away.
Everyone went to the largest restaurant in Guansheng City.
The owner of the restaurant dared not refuse, nor did he dare to neglect them. He served them tremblingly, fearing that if his service was not up to par, he would be trampled to death by the demonic horse.
"You go. Come back if you have other instructions," Ling Fan said lightly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Your humble servant takes his leave."
The restaurant owner felt as if he had been granted a great pardon and did not dare to linger for a moment.
"Boss, what's up?" the toad asked.
Han Hai, Yang Shili, Lu Benian, and the other rogue cultivators also looked at Ling Fan.
Ling Fan said, "When I went to Guansheng Cliff before, I saw many forces oppressing rogue cultivators and monopolizing cultivation resources. I had a preliminary idea."
"Now that I have subdued the demonic horse, and I have like-minded friends like Han Hai and Yang Shili, I have decided to establish a force."
In his previous life, Ling Fan was basically a loner. He was used to being a lone wolf, feeding himself and not worrying about others, doing whatever he wanted without any taboos.
But the situation was different now.
He had family, a wife, friends, and subordinates.
He could not protect so many relatives and friends all by himself. After all, although he was powerful, he only had two hands and two feet, and he was spread too thin. Therefore, he needed a powerful force.
Whether it was to protect his loved ones, gather cultivation resources, gather intelligence, or contend with other major forces, he needed helpers.
Moreover.
The Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Realm outside the Jiuhua Realm and the numerous Demon Saints were the biggest hidden dangers.
Once the domain was breached and the Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Realm led a host of Demon Saints to invade, the Jiuhua Realm would face an unprecedented world-ending catastrophe, and no one would survive.
Therefore, he not only had to improve his own strength as quickly as possible but also to improve the strength of those around him and form a powerful force to resist this catastrophe.
This was why Ling Fan had this idea.
The toad and the others did not know Ling Fan's thoughts. They just found it amusing and immediately clapped their claws, their eyes shining as they shouted, "Boss is brilliant! Establishing a force is great, how glorious! Let's suppress those so-called Three Kings' Hall, Eastern Lin Dynasty, and Heavenly Dragon Academy. We'll be the sole rulers of the Eastern Lin Domain!"
"Boss, you are still the boss. How about I, Mo Dazui, be the second-in-command? I followed you the earliest, and I can be considered an elder!"
The toad was already happily imagining how glorious it would be in the future.
"You little toad, go wherever it's cool."
The demonic horse disdainfully flicked the curl of hair on its head.
"You!"
The toad was furious but dared not retort to the demonic horse.
Ling Fan said, "This is just a preliminary idea of mine. We'll first build the general framework of this force, and then we'll gradually improve it and recruit strong individuals to consolidate the force."
"I think we should use Guansheng Cliff as our base." Ling Fan said.
"Great! That's excellent! Guansheng Cliff is the best. This way, we'll have the best cultivation ground." All the rogue cultivators were overjoyed.
"What should we call it?"
As soon as the toad said this, everyone fell into deep thought.
The name was very important.
It had to be catchy, imposing, and awe-inspiring. It could not be chosen carelessly.
"In my humble opinion, our boss Ling is an unparalleled prodigy, like an ancient Human King, a supreme overlord of the world. 'King' and 'Overlord' are excellent words. They represent our boss Ling's spirit and ability. Let's call it the Wang Ba Sect! What do you think?"
The toad spoke articulately, pleased with itself.
It thought it had come up with an excellent name.
"Brilliant." The demonic horse chuckled coldly.
The toad had not yet discerned the sarcasm in the demonic horse's tone. Thinking that someone had agreed with its proposal, it became even more smug.
"Since I am an elder and even came up with the name, my seniority is unmatched. The naming event today will surely become a beautiful story."
The toad was so happy, it felt incredibly proud.
"Don't get carried away. What 'Wang Ba Sect'? It sounds like 'Wang Ba Sect' (Turtle Sect). Others might think it's a turtle spirit that established a turtle lair, which would only invite ridicule. With your level, you dare to name it!"
Others dared not speak, but the demonic horse was not afraid of the toad at all and harshly attacked it.
The toad was stunned and felt a little embarrassed.
Wei Bin then spoke from the side, "How about... Ling Tian Pavilion? I've racked my brains and can't think of any other words to describe Brother Ling's peerless talent and extraordinary charm. Only 'Ling Tian' can describe his transcendence, his superiority over heaven and earth, and his supreme status."
After Wei Bin finished speaking, everyone immediately applauded.
The toad wondered, "It's indeed great. Ling Tian Pavilion, Ling Tian Pavilion. It's no worse than the Wang Ba Sect I came up with. It has that flair, the spirit of swallowing the heavens, and it even contains Boss Ling's surname. Why didn't I think of it!"
The toad shook its head repeatedly.
It deeply regretted missing the opportunity to name it.
Ling Fan nodded. He actually wanted to choose this name.
"Then let's call it [Ling Tian Pavilion]," Ling Fan finally decided.
"Everyone here is a rogue cultivator. If you are used to being alone, I will not force you to join. It will be up to your own will. Ling Tian Pavilion's doors are always open to all of you." Ling Fan said to the rogue cultivators.
Except for a small number of people who were still hesitant, feeling that Ling Fan had offended too many forces and had offended almost half of the Eastern Lin Domain, they had concerns in their hearts.
The other rogue cultivators happily joined.
First, Guansheng Cliff was a sacred place for cultivation, which greatly attracted them.
Second, Ling Fan had subdued the demonic horse, which was a peerless great demon surpassing the peak of Golden Core. With such a powerful being guarding it, even the hegemons of the Eastern Lin Domain like the Three Kings' Hall, Heavenly Dragon Academy, and Eastern Lin Dynasty would not dare to underestimate it.
Most importantly, as long as Ling Fan, this peerlessly talented prodigy, was present, Ling Tian Pavilion would never collapse.
Whether it was talent or strength, this person could be said to be unrivaled in the world without exaggeration.
The demonic horse was already very powerful, right? Even the demonic horse was subdued by Ling Fan. It was likely that Ling Fan's strength could be on par with peerless experts at the quasi-saint level.
Ling Fan looked at Wei Bin and Xuan Na and said, "Brother Wei, Miss Xuan, why don't you two join Ling Tian Pavilion? Xuan Yue Island is being managed by narrow-minded and incompetent people like Xuan Ye, who are cultivating factions and creating a mess. In the end, it probably won't end well."
Wei Bin didn't mind. He was actually very willing to follow Ling Fan.
But Xuan Na was different.
