Chapter 200: How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible

Moon-Chasing: Targets two or more people; Moon-Chasing can exile one person, forcibly separating them.

Lin Bai pondered the description of Moon-Chasing, his heart itching uncontrollably; he couldn't wait to find someone to experiment on immediately to see where he could exile the other party to.

But in all likelihood, it wouldn't send them directly to the moon; otherwise, the description would have stated it directly.

Yet, after thinking it over, the people around him were not very suitable.

The Evil Five Sects had just joined the Justice Alliance; taking action against them and forcing them to rebel was not appropriate.

The Beggar Sect disciples were all players, and he still needed them to do work; using them for experiments didn't seem very appropriate either...

It turned out that, unknowingly, there were no enemies left around him!

Drawing his Sword and looking around, his heart felt lost!

Lin Bai sighed; wasn't this the life he had been pursuing ever since he transmigrated!

The path he chose was indeed correct; the system tasks were meant to be done this way. Could he have achieved his current success by blindly seeking stability?

It had to be this lightning-fast rhythm; regardless of whether the people around him were united or not, by the time those capable of restraining him reacted, he would already be a powerful hegemon!

Lin Bai had learned about previous public enemies of the martial arts world from Qingyu and finally summarized the reason: the reason those guys failed was entirely because their individual heroism was too strong and they didn't focus on cultivating their own teams. When they were hunted down by both the Righteous and Evil Paths, they didn't even have a helper. No matter how strong their individual abilities were, they could only end up regretting it in the end.

Therefore, essentially speaking, he was different from those public enemies of the martial arts world.

Bah!

To hell with being a public enemy of the martial arts world; he was clearly a Jiusheng...

Having corrected his erroneous perception of himself, Lin Bai was in high spirits and grew even more confident.

Lin Bai was lamenting that life was as lonely as snow when 【Gugao Laoren】 arrived before him and said cautiously, "Shopkeeper Lin, the people from Hundred Flowers Valley have arrived. They are thirty miles outside the city. They asked if they can enter the city directly?"

【Tension from Gugao Laoren; +1 +1 +1】

Tension?

A strange emotion!

Generally, the players in front of Lin Bai mostly felt joy or resentment; they basically had no emotions like fear or worry.

After all, they all had the mindset of playing a game; there wasn't much they were truly afraid of, let alone a special emotion like tension.

Lin Bai swept a glance at 【Gugao Laoren】 and quickly understood the reason.

This guy must have discovered the abnormality of 【Lao Mi】!

To actually endure and not spread it, he was a talent; he had to find a way to make him one of his own...

But there was no need to rush; after all, there was no one around to pair him with for the time being.

"Do not enter the city," Lin Bai said. "Send someone to notify the members of the Justice Alliance. Our new allies have arrived. Prepare to set off, rendezvous with Hundred Flowers Valley, and head to the Chaoyuan Sword Sect."

"Leaving now?" 【Gugao Laoren】 was stunned.

"Speed is the essence of war," Lin Bai laughed. "Now that we know their goal, why give them the chance to execute it? Of course, we must swiftly coerce them and have them board our pirate ship at the first opportunity... cough, join our alliance, and fight together for love and justice!"

"But we aren't prepared yet..." 【Gugao Laoren】 frowned.

"Prepare for what? The Pill Refinement group, Weapon Refinement group, and the people from Justice Weekly stay behind to continue consolidating our business. Pills and weapons should be put on the shelves as they are ready. Our Beggar Sect doesn't lack money; what we lack is reputation. Sell all pills and weapons at fair prices so the common people can quickly receive the benefits of the alliance. You can set up a task section to accept some task commissions from the common people, helping the public find lost cats and dogs, acting as bodyguards, and so on." Lin Bai smiled, "Don't be afraid of spending money, don't be afraid of trouble. Establish our reputation first. The Heavenly Descended of the Justice Alliance must become a model for other Heavenly Descended. Only then will the common people support us at critical moments, and the Taiyi Kingdom won't easily take action against us..."

If it weren't for you stabbing their City Lord in the back, the Taiyi Kingdom wouldn't have been planning to take action against us in the first place...

Besides, it's not your money being spent, right!

Also, what the hell is finding cats and dogs?

The authorities used the most advanced technology to drop us into this world to experience exotic customs, and you're trying to force us back into the traditional online game mode!

【Gugao Laoren】 engaged in Belly-Defamation, but he did not refute Lin Bai.

A few days later, 200,000 players entered this world. The Shanlu Group took the lead, and other large groups were following up, preparing to enter the game.

Previously, outside Qian City, in the battle against Huilong Temple, the 3,000 Beggar Sect disciples were wiped out in a single encounter; the advertising effect was extremely poor, and the subsequent payments were not received;

In the battle against the Evil Five Sects, they were blocked by an iron curtain. By the time they rushed out of the iron curtain, Lin Bai had already finished the key battle, and the subsequent advertising payments were not received either.

With two consecutive major projects by the Beggar Sect failing, the big financiers were now somewhat cautious about advertising.

Nowadays, those looking for the Beggar Sect to advertise were all small and medium-sized manufacturers without strength, and the people in the advertising department even started complaining.

Following two consecutive losses, Lin Bai adjusted his strategy to share joy with the people. He bought shops in Qian City at a premium, purchased various raw materials for Pill Refinement and Weapon Refinement, and added the salaries of the 3,000 Beggar Sect disciples. It could be said that the Beggar Sect's finances were somewhat tight during this period...

The "Qinghua Legend" in Justice Weekly finally allowed the Beggar Sect's finances to improve slightly. If Lin Bai continued to burn money, without large external income, the little family fortune the Beggar Sect had accumulated probably wouldn't last long.

They were a personal group that relied on Lin Bai to rise, and they simply couldn't compare to large financial groups like Shanlu that had strong strength in reality.

But 【Gugao Laoren】 dared not defy Lin Bai's suggestions.

After all, without Lin Bai, they were nothing. The time was too short; he hadn't yet condensed the Beggar Sect into a single rope, and he didn't have power that truly belonged to him.

Lin Bai was the Beggar Sect's advantage, but relying too much on Lin Bai was also their disadvantage.

Especially now that 【Gugao Laoren】 also knew that Lin Bai possessed the means to deal with players. Although he kept saying he wanted to stabilize the morale of the troops, deep down, he inevitably developed resistance, and even vigilance, toward Lin Bai.

"Tell the editorial department that Justice Weekly will release its third issue. Dig deep into the gimmick of the Justice Alliance. In this issue, highlight the majestic image of this Alliance Leader. From the time I left the mountains in Jiamu City to now, you have all witnessed it with your own eyes. In just over two months, going from having nothing to creating such a large industry, my experience can be called legendary." Lin Bai stroked the little white fox and talked eloquently, "Establishing my image will be more helpful for the public's confidence in the Justice Alliance and more beneficial for the promotion of the laws. Remember to name my identity as the Sect Leader of the Justice Sect, as well as my battle record along the way. The alliance is the alliance, but the development of the Justice Sect must also be taken into account..."

The Super Sect Leader System required Lin Bai to possess personal prestige sufficient to deter the petty and the wicked; he felt he could no longer hide.

Publishing his battle record might achieve the highest realm of military strategy: subduing the enemy without fighting.

Only battle records could deter the petty and the wicked.

Hmph!

Daoxu Zhenren couldn't help but snort, sneering at Lin Bai's self-aggrandizing behavior.

Lin Bai ignored Daoxu and, after thinking for a moment, added, "Regarding my cultivation process and battle record, there is no need to exaggerate or fabricate; just report them truthfully. After all, the slogan of our Justice Weekly is to report the facts. As the Alliance Leader, I cannot disrupt this tone."

Damn it!

【Gugao Laoren】 looked at Lin Bai leisurely. The things you've done are already exaggerated enough if reported truthfully, okay!

Seeing that Gugao Laoren hadn't spoken for a long time, Lin Bai asked, "Is there a problem?"

"No problem, I will arrange it right away." Gugao Laoren said hurriedly. After hearing Lin Bai's arrangements for the future of the Beggar Sect, he suddenly realized that before the Beggar Sect's players grew up, he really couldn't have too many thoughts about Lin Bai. He couldn't maintain his current mindset, or it would lead to big problems.

In Lin Bai's mind, the emotions fed back by Gugao Laoren suddenly disappeared.

If it weren't for the fact that other people's emotions were still rolling in, he would have thought the system had malfunctioned.

To be able to adjust one's emotions to a state of calm as still water in such a short time, this guy is truly a talent!

"Shopkeeper Lin, the Beggar Sect's finances have run into some problems. Continuing to burn money to promote the Justice Alliance might cause the Beggar Sect to collapse. In the upcoming battles, could you perform more spectacularly? Only then can we take on more advertisements to maintain the operations of the Beggar Sect and the Justice Alliance..." After adjusting his mindset, Gugao Laoren spoke much more calmly when talking to Lin Bai.

"No problem, aren't we family!" Lin Bai smiled and agreed.

"Good, then I will go and prepare." Gugao Laoren bowed to Lin Bai, turned, and left to coordinate the various affairs.

He had only just left.

A cyan shadow flew in from outside like the wind; it was Jiang Qingqin. She stopped abruptly in front of Lin Bai, her bright eyes full of joy, her voice carrying a hint of excitement and agitation: "Lin Bai, I'm here. I have reached the Golden Core stage."

"Not bad." Lin Bai nodded at her.

"What do you think of my new image?" Jiang Qingqin beamed with joy, spread her arms, and spun around in front of Lin Bai, "I shaped it according to your requirements!"

"A bit bigger, a bit slimmer. A good modification." Lin Bai looked her up and down and said with a smile.

He had agreed to Jiang Qingqin's confession back then because Jiang Qingqin could risk her life for him, but he had been so busy during this time that he hadn't once thought of Jiang Qingqin on his own initiative. This made Lin Bai realize that he hadn't poured that much affection into Jiang Qingqin...

As expected.

Things like CP are just not for him!

However, in order to promote the Love Dao, he should still show a certain degree of intimacy with Jiang Qingqin...

"Tch!" The little white fox in Lin Bai's arms gave Jiang Qingqin a disdainful look. "Master fought five Nascent Soul cultivators alone; what is there to show off about a mere Golden Core? When it comes down to it, you still can't help with anything!"

"Master?" Jiang Qingqin's focus was clearly elsewhere. She blinked and asked in surprise, "Lin Bai, you took the little fox as your disciple?"

"You..." The little white fox wilted instantly. The status of master and disciple was an insurmountable chasm. If she had known this, she wouldn't have become a disciple no matter what!

"Mm." Lin Bai nodded, looked at Jiang Qingqin, and asked, "Qingqin, why don't you also take me as your master?"

Jiang Qingqin was stunned.

The little white fox's eyes lit up, a gloating expression on her fox face.

"Take you as master?" Jiang Qingqin blinked. "Why? Didn't we say we were going to practice the Love Dao together?"

"Who says master and disciple can't practice the Love Dao?" Lin Bai looked at her with a smile. "Don't you think this is more romantic? Qingqin, the Great Dao of Love has many facets; being rigid about form is actually a shackle..."

The new task of the Haoweirenshi System System System was to take in five Disciples and increase their cultivation progress by fifty percent. Lin Bai had dragged it out until now, thinking of saving this benefit for his own people.

Shameless!

Daoxu widened his eyes, cursing Lin Bai in his heart. If it's all about not being rigid about form, why can you play the master-disciple game, while I have to be tied to an old man?

What about the Ge Feiyun you promised me!

The little white fox's heart was thumping rapidly, and her eyes grew even brighter. Master and disciple is more romantic, wouldn't master-disciple plus master-servant be a level higher?

Jiang Qingqin's face turned red instantly. She glanced at Daoxu, then at the smiling Lin Bai, and nodded with a flushed face: "Mm, Master."

"Right, call me that from now on. You are my third Disciple. As for the requirements for my Disciples, let Xiaobai tell you." Lin Bai was a person who only pursued results and didn't care about Jiang Qingqin's delicate little thoughts.

"Mm." Jiang Qingqin nodded again.

"Third Junior Sister, you have to call me Senior Sister from now on!" The little fox jumped out of Lin Bai's arms, transformed into human form, and proudly puffed out her chest. "The Disciples of the Justice Sect prioritize virtue above all else; the rules must not be broken."

"You..." Hearing this, Jiang Qingqin couldn't help but widen her eyes. She reached out to grab the little fox, annoyed, "Don't go too far!"

"Xiaobai is right. Since you have become my Disciple, virtue must be kept in the first place." Lin Bai coughed lightly and stopped Jiang Qingqin. "Although the relationship between us is special, you must abide by this."

Daoxu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. You're about to get romantic with your female Disciple, and you're still talking about virtue? Can you have some shame?

Jiang Qingqin frowned slightly. This was not what she had imagined. She looked at Lin Bai in confusion: "Must it be like this?"

"Don't think so much." Lin Bai smiled and explained, "Qingqin, I am simultaneously practicing the Law of Masterhood. There are benefits to being my Disciple. Rather than letting others have the advantage, it's better to prioritize our own people! Being my lover and also my Disciple, we can practice both Daos together..."

Teacher Dao?

Daoxu was stunned.

Outside the door.

Having received the news, Xin Shang and the others who had arrived together were also stunned. They had originally denied the existence of the Law, but at this moment, they were no longer sure.

Lin Bai's attitude was too serious. If the Law was just his means, there would be absolutely no need to demand this of himself at all times!

Practicing both Daos together?

Jiang Qingqin secretly glanced at Lin Bai. In an instant, her face turned even redder. She nodded coyly: "Mm, I understand, Master. I will earnestly abide by the path of virtue and will no longer be disrespectful to the Second Senior Sister."

"That's more like it!" The little fox didn't hear the subtext in Jiang Qingqin's words and proudly raised her head, as if she had won a great victory.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader." Xin Shang and the others entered the room one after another and bowed to Lin Bai.

Jiang Qingqin looked at the several evil sect leaders, a flash of nervousness appearing in her heart for no reason, and she stood by Lin Bai's side.

"Fellow sect leaders, are you all prepared?" Lin Bai looked around at everyone.

"Alliance Leader, what preparation do people of cultivation need? With your order, we can set off at any time. We have long been impatient." Zhao Tulong laughed loudly. "The Justice Alliance only has a few of us members; it's too lonely."

"Good, let's set off to welcome our new allies." Lin Bai waved his hand and said with a hearty laugh.

"Lin... cough, Master, the Valley Master and the others are not sincerely defecting. They are using the name of defection to stall your progress." Jiang Qingqin said hurriedly, "Don't fall for their tricks."

"I know. The Hundred Flowers Valley is full of my undercover agents; your movements cannot be hidden from me." Lin Bai looked back at her and smiled slightly. "If it weren't for your sake, I would have already slaughtered my way over. Why would I have waited until now?"

【Joy from Jiang Qingqin; +1 +1 +1...】

Jiang Qingqin looked at Lin Bai and said with a flushed face: "Master, don't worry about me. Do to them what you should do. I am already a member of the Justice Sect now!"
