Chapter 212 The Aura Effect

He privately calculated the time for the train ticket to the next stop.

Chu Fan said, "I'll give you two hours to make arrangements!"

The renowned Four Great Vajras, faced with the coercion of this young man named Chu Fan, could only nod in obedience.

The Great Vajra immediately took out his phone to contact the sect master of the Longevity Gate, informing him of the situation and explaining the implications.

As a strong practitioner, his strength and intellect were both formidable.

The Great Vajra, after a brief calculation, understood that if they were to truly fight Chu Fan, after dealing with them, he would inevitably head to the Longevity Gate.

He hoped the sect master would understand the gravity of the situation and not act rashly.

When facing such a person, one could only bow their head and seek to build a good relationship.

Otherwise, the Longevity Gate might become the next Blade Sect.

After listening to the Great Vajra's analysis, the sect master of the Longevity Gate, without the slightest hesitation, immediately agreed to have the Great Vajra and the others comply with Chu Fan's wishes.

There was no other way. Even though they knew that by sending out two of the Great Vajras, the Longevity Gate's strength would be weakened.

However, a weakened overall strength of the Longevity Gate was different from whether it would continue to exist.

Moreover, Chu Fan was not asking the Four Great Vajras to completely leave the Longevity Gate and never rejoin it; they were merely to go to the Cloud Mountain Sect to oversee and assist in its development. When the Longevity Gate needed them, they could also return to support.

It was rare to encounter a powerhouse who could make all Four Great Vajras feel immense pressure. The sect master of the Longevity Gate immediately had the Great Vajra convey an invitation to Chu Fan on his behalf, hoping he would visit the Longevity Gate, share a meal, and exchange pleasantries.

A powerhouse who was at least a Fourth-Rank Grandmaster in his twenties was unheard of.

The sect master of the Longevity Gate was eager to meet this young man of mysterious origin in person, contemplating that if possible, it would be best to forge a connection with him.

Because he could imagine that this prodigy who had suddenly emerged would, in the future, trample over the major sects and powers of the Dragon God Kingdom, becoming the undisputed number one.

Now that there was an opportunity, it could not be missed.

Otherwise, in the future, it might be as difficult as ascending to heaven to seek affiliation.

After hanging up the phone, the Great Vajra returned to stand before Chu Fan and respectfully said, "Little brother, the second and fourth among us will go to the Cloud Mountain Sect to oversee."

Chu Fan nodded, gave Fu Piaoyao a look, and was about to leave with her.

"Little brother..."

The Great Vajra quickly spoke, and Chu Fan stopped and looked at him.

"This, our sect master heard of your extraordinary strength and asked me to invite you to visit the Longevity Gate on his behalf. Do you have time?"

After a slight hesitation, Chu Fan nodded.

The Great Vajra was very pleased. He left the second and fourth brothers to wrap up the matters concerning the Ding family and personally led Chu Fan and the other to the Longevity Gate.

Fu Piaoyao followed closely beside Chu Fan and asked softly, "What are we doing?"

"Aren't you afraid they'll set up another trap for you to fall into?"

Chu Fan smiled indifferently and retorted, "Do you think I'm afraid?"

"If they dare to mess around again, there's nothing that can change the outcome."

Fu Piaoyao thought about it and realized it was true. The Four Great Vajras united were no match for Chu Fan, and there was no one within the Longevity Gate who could defeat Chu Fan.

Furthermore, there was no mortal enmity between them. The sect master of the Longevity Gate was not so foolish as to oppose Chu Fan over such a trivial matter.

Even if they could ultimately win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, not worth it.

If they couldn't win, they would have to drag the entire Longevity Gate down with them, which was even less worthwhile.

The Great Vajra, walking ahead, heard Fu Piaoyao's concerns and thought that even if the Longevity Gate had the courage, they wouldn't dare to do so.

In the era of Dharma decline.

Who would not seek to befriend a powerhouse like Chu Fan?

Who would dare to go all out against him?

The Longevity Gate was not too far from their current location; it was only a thirty-minute drive.

When the Great Vajra alighted from the vehicle with Chu Fan, the sect master of the Longevity Gate, Huo Dong, had already led the important members of the Longevity Gate to await them respectfully.

Chu Fan did not stand on ceremony, accepting the respect of the Longevity Gate members as he entered.

After being seated, Huo Dong immediately ordered a banquet to be prepared.

"No need!"

Chu Fan suddenly spoke to stop him.

"I didn't come here for any food or drink!"

"I have matters to attend to. I came here only to tell the Longevity Gate one thing!"

Everyone present immediately straightened up, adopting an attitude of attentive listening.

"The Cloud Mountain Sect to the north is my territory!"

"From now on, the Cloud Mountain Sect will develop and expand in a decentralized manner!"

"If the Longevity Gate is willing, it can be incorporated into the Cloud Mountain Sect in the future!"

"At the same time, if any forces target the Cloud Mountain Sect, I believe you know what to do!"

The expansion of the Cloud Mountain Sect was inevitable.

In this process, because it encroached upon the territories of other forces, it would inevitably lead to conflict.

By agreeing to the Great Vajra's invitation to come here, Chu Fan simply wanted to inform the Longevity Gate that the Cloud Mountain Sect was his, and in the future, if they learned of the Cloud Mountain Sect being oppressed by other forces, they should offer assistance if they knew what was good for them.

Otherwise, when the Cloud Mountain Sect expanded to this area, he would not mind having the Cloud Mountain Sect annex the Longevity Gate.

"Understood, understood!"

"Little brother, please rest assured, from now on, the Cloud Mountain Sect and the Longevity Gate are brother forces. Anyone who dares to target the Cloud Mountain Sect is going against the Longevity Gate!"

He had come here specifically to say this one thing.

With his objective achieved, Chu Fan immediately departed.

Huo Dong very much wanted to keep Chu Fan there to talk more and deepen their connection, but Chu Fan completely ignored him, as if he hadn't heard him speak, and left directly.

Outside the Longevity Gate, Fu Piaoyao also took out her phone and secretly sent a message to her elder brother.

She knew that with Chu Fan, the prodigy, overseeing the Cloud Mountain Sect, its expansion was without any suspense.

The Azure God Sect and the Cloud Mountain Sect were adjacent to each other. As the Cloud Mountain Sect expanded, it would inevitably cover the Azure God Sect.

If her brother acted rashly and didn't want the Azure God Sect to be absorbed by the Cloud Mountain Sect and opposed it, the consequences would be foreseeable.

After conveying this information, Fu Piaoyao also advised her brother that since the Cloud Mountain Sect was just beginning to develop, it would be best to actively pledge allegiance to the Cloud Mountain Sect and align with them.

Upon seeing his sister's suggestion, Fu Yizhi's brows furrowed tightly. He hadn't expected her to advise him to abandon the Azure God Sect and voluntarily merge with the Cloud Mountain Sect.

The Azure God Sect was founded by Fu Yizhi himself, much like a child he had nurtured.

Now, he was being asked to abandon this child and willingly become a subordinate to someone else.

Such a thing was difficult for a Grandmaster to accept.

Fu Yizhi immediately replied that this matter was of great importance and required careful consideration.

Seeing her brother still hesitating, Fu Piaoyao became anxious and immediately recounted how the Four Great Vajras of the Longevity Gate attacked Chu Fan but were ultimately forced to submit, and how the Longevity Gate had also changed its attitude and sided with the Cloud Mountain Sect.

Initially, because Chu Fan was nearby, Fu Piaoyao was afraid he might see and dared not say too much.

Seeing her brother so rigid and unwilling to adapt, she had to drop this bombshell.

Upon reading the message, Fu Yizhi was so shocked that he stood up on the spot, his expression on his phone screen filled with disbelief.

Holding his own against the Four Great Vajras of the Longevity Gate without falling behind...

Ordering the Longevity Gate to support the Cloud Mountain Sect...

After regaining his composure, Fu Yizhi immediately headed to the Cloud Mountain Sect, preparing to discuss this matter.

After all, it was one thing for him to be willing to join, and another for them to be willing to accept him.
