Chapter 805 All gathered
Spirit Hall, Martial Training Hall.
There was no doubt that these two organizations were connected in some way.
It was just like how the Falling Willow Temple was under the Golden Temple and the Tang Family was under the Unfettered Sect.
Then Ye Qing Huan dropped another bomb for Lin Fan.
"It isn't just the Spirit Hall's people who are here, there are also people from the Mo Family."
Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.
The Mo Family…
This was a group that they had already encountered once and the encounter that they had couldn't be considered a good one.
If they were to get involved with the Mo Family even more, there was no doubt that they would provoke the Moon Flower Sect even more. If the Moon Flower Sect was really provoked, then there was no telling what they would be capable of.
Or at least that was how it was for Lin Fan.
As for Ye Qing Huan…there was no telling what she was capable of, so it wasn't a bad thing for her to keep doing this.
After all, she had been able to lead these four groups here like they were puppets that she controlled the strings of. So there was no telling what she would be capable of if she continued with her plan.
Ye Qing Huan really seemed like she had everything in the palm of her hand.
Once the Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family group entered the flame barrier, it seemed like there was some kind of balance that was achieved between the groups.
Though that didn't stop them from insulting each other like the Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family had done previously.
"You bald monks, go out there and use your bodies to block them while the rest of us escape!"
"Almsgiver, it is the will of Buddha for you to sacrifice yourself for this lowly monk. Please lead the way with your flames."
They were all trying to push each other to act, but it didn't seem like they were planning on doing anything. It seemed like everyone was trying to get the others to act while preserving their powers.
This was what resulted in this strange balance between the four groups.
Humans were more terrifying than any beasts after all.
They were more afraid of each other than the wraiths that had completely surrounded them.
While there weren't four times as many wraiths since a few of them had been taken down, there were still far more wraiths than any of the groups had faced on their own.
It had reached a point where they were completely surrounded in all directions by the wraiths.
If it wasn't for the fact that the bodies of the wraiths were see through, they might have even blocked out the sun for the ones that they had trapped in between them.
That was just how many wraiths there were surrounding this group.
But it didn't seem like they were in that much of a panic.
One could see that they were worried about the situation that they were in, but it didn't seem like they had given up all hope. It was as if there was still something that they could rely on to break free of this situation.
It wasn't just for one group, but all four different groups from all four different sects seemed to be acting this way.
It was obvious that all of them had some kind of trump card that they were saving that they weren't using yet.
That was why they didn't seem to show any fear at all.
They were just waiting to see how the others would act.
But would mere flames be enough to stop the wraiths now that there were so many of them?
If they really wanted to act, it wouldn't be hard for the wraiths to do something to this flame barrier with their combined power. So there was only one logical explanation as to why they hadn't made a move yet.
Ye Qing Huan was controlling them to watch over these four groups instead of having them engage.
Though Lin Fan couldn't help feeling doubtful of whether it was more effective to have them attack or to have them watch over the four groups. It seemed that it might be better to pressure them a little bit to see how they would respond.
As he thought this, the wraiths suddenly started to move.
The wraiths that had been floating around the flame barrier suddenly gathered together.
They didn't just come side by side, but rather it seemed like they were merging with each other with how they came together in one spot. As more and more of these wraiths gathered, it seemed that the aura that they released became even stronger.
In the beginning, they had only demonstrated power in the Foundation Realm.
But as more and more of these wraiths gathered together, they suddenly demonstrated power in the Qi Condensing Realm.
The leaders of the four groups were all in the Peak Foundation Realm.
This was not something that they would be able to face if they didn't work together.
But to work together…
In the end, they chose to work together since they knew that this was the only thing that they could do to survive. Especially since they could feel the aura of the super wraith being formed becoming stronger and stronger.
They knew that it was only a matter of time before the wraith finished forming itself and attacked them.
If they wanted to do anything, it was now.
They knew that they couldn't keep hesitating any longer and had to use what they could to take down this wraith.
So all four of the leaders acted at that moment.
The one from the Spirit Hall had his subordinates release their flames around him, which he immediately started to control. The flames gathered all around him like a vortex of flames that seemed like it would burn a hole in the sky.
The one from the Tang Family raised his sword and all of the other swords from the Tang Family flew around him.
The one from the Golden Temple had all of the other monks gathered around him before they formed a large golden Buddhist statue.
It was only the one from the Mo Family that didn't seem like she was planning on doing anything.
With the way that those from the Mo Family stood still, it was as if they were planning on betraying the other three groups, but that wouldn't be the case. If the Mo Family group actually did something like that, there was no doubt that the others would stop to take care of the Mo Family.
It was only after they all manifested that the Mo Family made their move.
It was a copying technique that the Mo Family group used.
With the formation that they took, they copied all three attacks that the other three groups formed. Though they copied the attacks, it didn't seem like it would be used to actually harm the enemy.
After all, these attacks seemed too weak to be considered proper attacks.
The only thing was that there were so many of them that it was hard to tell which one was real or not, especially after the other three groups lowered the intensity of their attacks to the same level as the illusions.
The Mo Family's special technique didn't seem as strong, but there was no doubt of its efficacy.
It would allow the attacks of the other three groups to reach the super wraith without it being able to maintain a proper defense.
Like this, the flame barrier suddenly disappeared and they all scattered in different directions.
As they scattered, it seemed like they were multiplying at the same time.
It seemed that multiple versions of the same person were running around the area, making it hard to keep track of who was actually the one that would launch the attack.
Before the super wraith could finish gathering, there was a single attack that came at it.
This was a mix of all three attacks from earlier.
The Buddhist statue wielded a sword that was formed from all of the swords that were gathered while the flames surrounded the sword, creating a flaming sword.
This super wraith did what it could to defend against this, but the moment that the flaming sword made contact with the super wraith, it started being burnt away by the flames.
The super wraith wasn't able to resist at all in the end as the flaming sword cut right through it, cutting it in half. The two halves then faded away in a manner like they were burnt away, but also in a manner like they had been purified.

Once the super wraith was destroyed, the other wraiths seemed like they were hesitating over something.
All of a sudden, the wraith started to scatter in different directions.
It was as if they had suddenly learned fear as they ran off in different directions.
The four groups didn't seem to chase after them even though they had their attacks prepared.
That was because…
After the wraiths all scattered, the four groups that had been acting tough suddenly started to gasp for breath.
They had done all that they could to pretend that they were still fine, but they had actually used a lot of spiritual energy to use these attacks.
What they didn't see was Ye Qing Huan flying high above them watching all of this with a smile on her face.
