Chapter 322: Begin the Counterattack

Ao Li knows that this counterattack is like walking on a thorn‑covered road, each step must be taken with utmost caution, but her steadfast resolve is like a burning flame, never wavering; relying on her own great strength and extraordinary wisdom, she resolutely throws herself into dealing with the various forces.

Ao Li first turns her gaze to the forces being used by the mysterious organization. She carefully plans and skillfully arranges, entering these forces' territory under the pretext of negotiations. In the opulent yet secretly scheming council hall, Ao Li stands calmly before the crowd, her eyes firm and sharp, as if she can read everyone's thoughts.

"Everyone, you must have noticed that you are in a huge conspiracy. The mysterious organization uses you only to achieve their unspeakable goals; once those goals are met, do you think you can walk away unscathed?" Ao Li's voice is clear and powerful, echoing through the hall. She deftly uses words to dissect the mysterious organization's plot piece by piece, causing the doubts in the crowd's hearts to grow.

Some leaders of the forces show hesitation; they are not completely unaware of the oddities, but have been blinded by the mysterious organization's intimidation and profit temptations. Seeing this, Ao Li seizes the moment, elaborating the benefits of cooperating with her against the mysterious organization, from safeguarding their own safety to the long‑term gains of jointly maintaining universal peace. Her words are like spring rain, gradually moving some forces' hearts.

However, not everyone is willing to change stance easily. Some stubborn leaders sneer at Ao Li's words, deeming it merely her sow‑and‑reap scheme. Facing these doubts, Ao Li does not panic; she produces concrete evidence proving the mysterious organization's betrayal and exploitation of them. These pieces of evidence are like heavy bombs, causing a huge uproar among the crowd.

At the same time, Lín Jìn silently assists Ao Li from the shadows. With keen insight and agile skill, he weaves among the forces, gathering crucial intelligence. He is like a silent shadow, slipping into heavily guarded strongholds, stealing information vital to Ao Li's negotiations. Sometimes he lingers on the brink of danger, evading patrolling guards, but for Ao Li and their shared goal, he never shows any retreat.

Lín Jìn promptly transmits the gathered intelligence to Ao Li, providing strong support for her negotiations and decisions. For example, he learns that a certain force recently has a serious dispute over profit sharing with the mysterious organization, and Ao Li cleverly uses this to further stir discord between them, making that force grow more dissatisfied and suspicious of the mysterious organization.

With Ao Li and Lín Jìn's close cooperation, each of their steps is cautious yet decisive. Ao Li, in the open, circles the various forces, using superb eloquence and great power to gradually dismantle the mysterious organization's alliance. Meanwhile Lín Jìn, in the shadows, safeguards her, providing key information, allowing Ao Li to always retain the initiative.

As time passes in this war without smoke, they gradually gain the upper hand. More and more forces begin to waver, their loyalty to the mysterious organization dropping sharply. Some originally neutral forces, after seeing Ao Li's sincerity and strength, also start leaning toward cooperation. The mysterious organization's carefully built alliance, under Ao Li and Lín Jìn's relentless pressure, develops one after another irreparable Crack.

Yet Ao Li and Lín Jìn know clearly that the mysterious organization will not sit idle. Their counterattack has achieved initial success, but the real challenge lies ahead. The mysterious organization will surely notice their actions and adopt even harsher measures in retaliation. But Ao Li and Lín Jìn are unafraid; they have fully prepared to meet the coming gale and storm…
