Chapter 184: Justice Alliance

Lin Bai suddenly fell into silence.

What the hell?

What had he done to activate the Super Villain System?

Clearly, the ones on the other side were the villains—outnumbering him, refining evil spirits, manipulating blood...

He was obviously persuading the wicked to turn toward goodness and accumulating Merit; to this day, he hadn't even killed many people, and he had even promoted the economic development of both the inner and outer worlds, maintaining social stability...

Villain?

There couldn't be anyone more selfless than him!

Furthermore.

Why was the reward for becoming a big villain "Charm"?

Wasn't his charm already high enough?

Pfft!

No, that's not right.

It has nothing to do with charm.

Suddenly activating such a system was an insult to his character; he wouldn't do this task even if it killed him!

Almost the moment he saw this system, Lin Bai decided to throw it into a corner to gather dust.

Although he was a task fanatic, he also had dignity; he couldn't do just any task, and at the very least, he couldn't break his bottom line as a good person.

"Sect Leader Lin, what is the difference between these choices and having no choice at all!" said Ge Feiyun.

"Are there no other options?" said Zhao Tulong.

"This is bullying," said Xin Shang.

"It should be like this." Listening to the angry voices from the opposite side, Daoxu muttered, the baleful energy in his heart inexplicably diminishing by a lot; as expected, whether one is miserable or not is a matter of comparison.

On the emotion tree in Lin Bai's mind, the joyful emotions of the Huilong Temple and Canyang Sect disciples, and the Negative Emotion of the four sects on the opposite side, exploded instantly.

The feeling that everything one does yields a profit is truly wonderful.

"So, you choose the second option?" Lin Bai hummed, his left hand slowly raising, his right hand lifting Cupid's Bow, and he said quickly, "Daoxu, prepare to receive a second lover."

"..." Daoxu's old face turned dark; his just-calmed mood surged again, and he glared at Lin Bai, "Why is it me again?"

"Because I trust you." Lin Bai looked at Daoxu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Besides, practice makes perfect."

"To hell with practice makes perfect, Lin Bai, I am at odds with you..." Daoxu's face flushed red, and he cursed loudly.

Shen Kuang ignored the furious Daoxu and interrupted him, saying: "Sect Leader Lin, hold your hand, we can still talk."

"Talk about what? You don't even dare to show your face; there is no sincerity at all." The Cupid's Bow in Lin Bai's hand faintly pointed toward the direction from which Shen Kuang's voice came.

"Even a rabbit will bite when cornered." Shen Kuang said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader Lin, we are, at the very least, Nascent Soul True Persons. Perhaps we are not your match, Sect Leader Lin. But if a real fight breaks out, if we risk our lives, we can always escape a few. If we don't return to our sects and go straight to the Demonic Five Sects to report, is Sect Leader Lin truly prepared to be hunted down endlessly?"

"Perhaps what you say is a method." Lin Bai smiled and said recklessly, "I can't speak for others, but I can guarantee that Sect Leader Shen, who proposed this rotten idea, definitely won't be able to escape."

"..." Shen Kuang's voice choked.

【Resentment from Shen Kuang; +1+1+1】

Seeing that the few around him didn't chime in, Shen Kuang felt stifled in his heart. He took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his emotions, and said: "Sect Leader Lin came out of the mountains representing the Justice Sect, not to argue with people everywhere, right? Fighting and killing might be a show of strength for a moment, but it brings more trouble."

"Sect Leader Shen, that sentence is indeed not wrong." Lin Bai thought of the Super Villain System and gave a scoffing laugh, "Lin came down the mountain to spread the Fazhe Zhidao, and indeed does not want to fight and kill. Reaching this point was also a matter of being forced by circumstances. How about this: let the past be wiped clean, you admit defeat, and I will take a step back. I won't require you to join the sect; I will form an alliance called the Justice Alliance, and we can work hand in hand to create a new Cultivation World era together, how about that?"

Lin Bai's goal was never to kill everyone.

After all.

The map is very large. Currently, he can rely on his personal charm to temporarily restrain the players of the Beggar Sect, but he cannot influence places outside of Qian City; one day, he will have to face the players who have grown up.

At that time, he will need certain allies; a good man needs help, and he can't carry everything on his own.

If the number of cards is insufficient, then use sincerity to reform these native NPCs...

Hearing Lin Bai's words.

The emotions of the Canyang Sect disciples who had just merged into the Justice Sect turned from joy to resentment instantly, feeling they had been scammed, but seeing the dazed Pei Yanzong, it turned to relief again.

Little did they know, the hearts of Zhao Tulong and the others on the opposite side were filled with the same resentment.

What do you mean by you take a step back and we admit defeat?

Do you know how to talk?

Where did we admit defeat?

However, the stalemate was broken, and the few breathed a sigh of relief in unison; fool them first, then plan for the long term.

Ge Feiyun asked: "What is the Justice Alliance?"

"It is to form an alliance led by my Justice Sect, where members of the alliance communicate with each other, help each other, advance and retreat together, share benefits, and jointly deal with any external events." Lin Bai said, "Whoever infringes upon the interests of the alliance members, we will join forces to fight back. If we discover good resources, everyone joins forces, and it will be easier to compete for them.

For example, the pills of Medicine King Valley, the Magic Tools of the Spirit Tool Pavilion—if we form a Justice Alliance, when we purchase from them, we can fully demand the largest volume of discounts.

Of course, these are secondary. The purpose of Lin forming the Justice Alliance is first and foremost to take upholding justice as his own duty, breaking the boundaries between good and evil, and creating a peaceful and stable Cultivation World..."

Is this hell the Justice Alliance?

This is the Death-Seeking Alliance!

Even the evil sects aren't as troublesome as you; if you really do this, in a few days, the alliance will become the enemy of the world.

You probably don't know that the Demonic Five Sects behind us also fight and snatch for the sake of profit; they have never been a solid block...

You, a greenhorn, want to integrate all resources with just empty words—keep dreaming!

Besides?

Why should it be called the Justice Alliance?

"Can't we call it the Blood Shadow Alliance, or the Xuanming Alliance?"

But at this moment, with others as the knife and meat and themselves as the fish, facing Lin Bai who came up with ideas on a whim, the several sect leaders dared not act rashly at all.

Zhao Tulong asked, "Sect Leader Lin, what are the conditions for joining the Justice Alliance?"

"There are no conditions needed. The Justice Alliance honors me as supreme, and I am the Alliance Leader; you must obey my orders. If the alliance holds any collective activities, you must send people to participate, and if I have any call to action, you must respond." Lin Bai did not mince words, shamelessly stating these draconian terms.

After he finished speaking.

The several people opposite him fell into silence once again.

Lin Bai coughed and continued, "Sect leaders, my original intention was to beat you into submission and forcibly merge you into the Justice Sect; that way, I could ensure orders were followed and prohibitions observed, and things would run much more smoothly."

"This time, for the sake of peace, I have taken a step back and come up with the Justice Alliance plan on the fly. Therefore, the alliance's requirements, responsibilities, and obligations for its members are still very vague. If you sect leaders are interested, we shall go to Qian City and negotiate a plan that is beneficial to every member sect, how about that?"

The opposite side fell into silence again.

After a long while.

Shen Kuang asked, "Sect Leader Lin, how can we trust you?"

"You must trust me, because you have no better choice, and besides, you cannot beat me." Lin Bai puffed out his chest and said, "I am a man who is going to become the Heavenly Dao; I act according to my whims and will not deceive you in these matters. If you do not agree, we shall simply continue to fight. Right now, I have Daoxu and Pei Yanzong, two Nascent Soul experts, on my side, and you have four on yours, but if we keep fighting, the number of people on my side will only increase..."

Watching Lin Bai, who was becoming more and more excited as he spoke, Zhao Tulong gritted his teeth, flew out from his own team, and with a dark face, interrupted Lin Bai: "Sect Leader Lin, no need to say more; I, Zhao, agree to your terms."

"I, Shen, also agree." Seeing that Lin Bai had not taken the opportunity to launch an attack, Shen Kuang also flew out, cupped his hands at Lin Bai, and said, "I hope Sect Leader Lin will keep his word."

"I will join as well." Ge Feiyun sighed and also flew out.

"I, Xin, will also join." Xin Shang likewise flew out.

All of them knew clearly that once they harbored thoughts of retreating, they were no longer Lin Bai's match, so it was better to take a gamble.

"Sect leaders, I know you feel aggrieved, and I know your joining the Justice Alliance is a helpless move, thinking to first fool me, Lin, and then make other plans." Lin Bai looked at them, shook his head, and smiled, "But I, Lin, believe that before long, you will realize the benefits of joining the Justice Alliance, and even if I asked you to quit, you wouldn't."
