Chapter 172: Lin Bai's Plan to Confront the Enemy

"Arrogant brat, does he take us for soft persimmons to be squeezed at will?" Xin Shang, Sect Leader of the Blood Shadow Sect, looked at the flyer in his hand and laughed disdainfully.

"He has the capital to be arrogant." Ge Feiyun, Sect Leader of the Demon Spirit Sect, giggled, her tongue tracing her lips as her seductive eyes swept across the group. "Among those present, who could take down Huilong Temple single-handedly? Such a battle record is something only the Heaven's Pride from above could achieve."

"A mere clown!" Zhao Tulong of the Xueli Sect spun the wine cup in his hand. "Throughout history, how many Heaven's Pride have died midway? Only those who survive can be called Heaven's Pride..."

"When the heavens are wild, there is rain; when a person is wild, there is disaster. He is just a fool who doesn't know he is at death's door." Pei Yanzong of the Canyang Sect produced a ball of flame at his fingertip, turning the flyer in his hand to ash. "Gancheng Cup? He destroyed Huilong Temple; which Righteous Sect isn't afraid of becoming the next Huilong Temple? They are dying to have us eliminate him, so why would they help him? It would be good enough if they didn't trip him up in secret. Neither the Righteous nor the Demon Paths tolerate him, yet he jumps around so happily, heh!"

"Do not underestimate the enemy." Shen Kuang of the Xuanming Cult surveyed the group. "Looking at everything Lin Bai has done since entering the world, he has moved step by step, with almost no defeats. How could such a person be easy to deal with? If we capsize in the gutter, it is those Righteous Sects that will benefit. Although they won't assist Lin Bai, if we are defeated, they won't be merciful to us in order to curry favor with Lin Bai."

"Brother Shen is overthinking it." Xin Shang laughed. "Even a gray eagle uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; how could we, who have dominated until now, not understand this principle? With the Heavenly Descended providing us with the inside scoop, Lin Bai's trump cards are already fully known to us. What is there to fear?"

"Exactly. We are not that fool Daoxu, who set up a formation to clash head-on with Lin Bai without understanding his methods. We are a Demon Sect!" Ge Feiyun laughed. "Even if Lin Bai has Nascent Soul cultivation, and even if his Law Power is strange, we have five Nascent Souls here and have laid down layers of nets. If Lin Bai can still escape alive while fighting five against one, then no one in the world can suppress him, and we might as well surrender our entire sect..."

The few of them looked at each other and smiled.

Xin Shang coughed and asked, "Tell me, is Lin Bai's so-called Law fooling the world, or is it true? The method of Law Cultivation is unheard of, even stranger than Demon Arts."

"I don't believe it," said Shen Kuang.

"I don't believe it either," Ge Feiyun shook her head and laughed.

"If someone from the Righteous Sect appears to avenge Lin Bai after we kill him, and continues to spread the method of Law Cultivation, then I will believe it." Pei Yanzong sneered and shook his head. "I don't believe there is a hidden sect capable of cultivating a Heaven's Pride like Lin Bai that could remain unknown for ten thousand years. I would rather believe that Lin Bai is a sleeper agent cultivated by the Seven Righteous Sects, specifically to oppose our Demon Sect with the arrival of the Heavenly Descended. The Righteous Sect has been nothing but a front from beginning to end..."

"Daoxu, look, is the team behind us marching in order?"

"Don't think that just because you aren't speaking, I don't know you are still angry."

"Do you want me to play matchmaker between you and Ge Feiyun of the Demon Spirit Sect, so that both master and disciple can fall for someone from the Demon Sect?"

"You spent hundreds of years in bitter cultivation, only to become my Puppet in the end; such is the impermanence of life!"

Constantly provoked by Lin Bai at every moment.

Daoxu had fallen into deep despair regarding his life, his face dark as he didn't say a word.

But under the effect of the Resistance Arrow, even if Lin Bai said, "The sun is truly round today," he would be filled with rage.

Daoxu didn't know what was going on, but he could be certain it was Lin Bai's doing.

Unable to control his own emotions, feeling restless and irritable along the way, Daoxu looked at the Disciples around Lin Bai who had been turned into Puppets without regaining their consciousness, and actually felt a bit of envy for them.

How nice it would be to be a Puppet without thoughts or desires!

【Anger from Daoxu; +1+1+1】

【Resentment from Jiang Yuru, He Qin, Guo Yuan, Tang Lanling...; +1+1+1】

【Joy from Longxi, Gugao Laoren, Lao Mi...; +1+1+1】

After the news of the Gancheng Cup spread, the emotions of various parties in Lin Bai's mind became active again.

There were positive ones and negative ones, fully verifying the truth that life lies in tossing and turning.

The Spirit Fruit were already dense and countless.

Since the victory over Huilong Temple, the emotions of the Beggar Sect Disciples rarely had negative ones; as they accumulated, more than ten Temperament Fruit had been gathered in bits and pieces.

During this time.

Lin Bai ate a few Temperament Fruit, and each time he finished, he would ask Xiaobai what changes there were.

Aside from adding pleasant words, the little white fox couldn't say anything specific at all.

Lin Bai simply stopped eating them; perhaps the efficacy of the Temperament Fruit was limited, and eating too many didn't work. It would be better to save them and see if he could use them to research a new pill recipe or something?

Lin Bai was too confident; he had never thought about it.

Those who had been lectured by him and personally influenced by his talk of Law Cultivation were all deeply convinced by the theory of Law, especially Daojing and Daokong, who had cultivated with Daoxu for hundreds of years and were fooled by his few words into becoming loyal lackeys; these phenomena were actually very abnormal.

To a certain extent, Lin Bai's Temperament was already invisibly and subtly influencing everyone around him, making them believe in him involuntarily.

Throughout history.

Almost all great achievers possessed an invisible temperament that influenced those around them, making people willing to struggle alongside them.

The Temperament Fruit was, in fact, forcibly enhancing this temperament of Lin Bai's...

Lin Bai felt a bit smug.

More than two months ago.

He was just a lonely transmigrator.

Now.

He already possessed a sect of his own, a protective gang, and a body full of strange and peculiar abilities...

Of course.

There were also countless enemies.

All of this felt like a dream to Lin Bai.

In the past.

He wouldn't have even dared to think about it.

Sure enough.

A life with cheats is the most comfortable life.

While grinding the Great Language System tasks on Daoxu, Lin Bai split his attention to take stock of the abilities he possessed.

This time, the enemy was exceptionally strong; if he succeeded, his career in the game would be on the fast track.

Therefore.

He had to treat this task with caution.

After all.

He had integrated all the system tasks together; pull one hair and the whole body moves, if one collapsed, they all would.

……

The Blacksmith Six-Piece Set, seven of Cupid's Love Arrows, nine Resistance Arrows, one of Pan Jinlian's bamboo poles, three Gold-Edged Cards, eight Silver-Edged Cards, and over twenty ordinary Blank Cards……

And the enemy had at least five Nascent Soul experts, as well as an unknown number of Golden Core experts.

Theoretically speaking, the resources Lin Bai had on hand were not enough to defeat the Evil Five Sects.

After all.

There were only three Gold-Edged Cards that could be used to seal Nascent Soul experts, and even if they could be utilized one hundred percent, there would still be two Nascent Soul experts who could not be sealed.

Unless he could go all out and use Cupid's Love Arrows to make all the experts on the opposite side fall in love with him.

But having personally experienced Daoxu's perverted love, Lin Bai felt he could not bear it—the love of five Nascent Soul experts.

Once hit by the Love Arrows, those guys would do anything; if they had a few more scenes in public, the Idol System's fans would probably all drop off……

Furthermore.

What if the guys from the Evil Five Sects didn't see him first?

The variables were too high.

Therefore, it still needed long-term consideration.

It would be great if he could stretch out their battle lines and defeat them one by one.

……

Of course.

There was one more way to increase his win rate.

That was to break through before the battle, forcibly facilitate a marriage between two people with prestige, and complete the Yuelao System's CP Task.

In that case.

He would have five new Moon Elder Red Threads, and his chances of winning would greatly increase.

……

People with prestige?

Lin Bai subconsciously looked at Daoxu beside him, searching for a suitable pairing target for him in his heart, and pondered the possibility of successfully pairing him with the other person without a Moon Elder Red Thread!

Suddenly.

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment.

Did Daoxu have prestige?

In the Cultivation World on the outskirts of Qian City, perhaps he had a certain degree of fame.

But among the common folk, who the hell knew who Daoxu was?

The divide between the Cultivation World and the lives of ordinary people was too severe; back then, Luo Congwen couldn't find a way to cultivate even if he wanted to, so how could these guys have prestige among the common folk?

In the Cultivation World, these Nascent Soul experts would often go into seclusion for years, or even decades, and their prestige probably stopped within their own sects……

Time could dilute everything; at Huilong Temple, Daoxu's prestige might not even catch up to the Main Hall Master, Qingyu.

So, these guys didn't have enough fame!

He couldn't take this risk!

Prestige?

Lin Bai frowned and pondered.

A moment later.

Two people with prestige in Qian City subconsciously flashed into his mind.

City Lord Guo Yuan and Beggar Sect Chief Lao Mi.

Guo Yuan was the City Lord, so his prestige went without saying.

And Lao Mi was the Beggar Sect Chief he had personally appointed; when the Chief Supporting Character was doing system tasks, he had pushed his big brother's reputation to the highest level.

Many children of wealthy families had to go through Lao Mi and Gugao Laoren to get people into the Beggar Sect, and Chief Lao Mi's name could be considered a household name in the Beggar Sect.

Perhaps he could make something happen with them.

There was no reason why Cupid's Arrows could only be used on NPCs!

As for whether he would offend Guo Yuan because of this?

It would be fine as long as they didn't discover it was his doing.

People caught in love had their vision obstructed, just like Qingyu and Huaxi Furen, who still believed their relationship was true love to this day!

He had single-handedly fostered his big brother; he couldn't let him just take advantage of him—he had to contribute when it was time to contribute!
