Chapter 201: Running to the Moon
The one leading the Hundred Flowers Valley group is Jiang Yuru.
Having heard the various legends about Lin Bai, Tang Lanling ultimately lacked the courage to face him alone; she worried about being coerced by Lin Bai into committing shameful acts that would disgrace her status in public, just as Daoxu Zhenren had, and she also feared being turned into a Puppet by Lin Bai...
She had cultivated for hundreds of years and had seen much of the world's myriad states, so she naturally understood the sordid affairs between men and women in the human world.
Although she was several hundred years old—more than enough to be Lin Bai's great-grandmother—the cultivation techniques of Hundred Flowers Valley were adept at regulating the body, so both her appearance and physical functions were little different from when she was in her twenties.
Lin Bai didn't even spare the old man Daoxu; if she were turned into a Puppet, who knows what kind of things she would experience?
Besides.
Why should Hundred Flowers Valley be made to feign surrender?
It wasn't as if she didn't have anyone backing her!
Just because Jiang Qingqin is Lin Bai's lover?
What a joke; if Lin Bai truly cared about Jiang Qingqin, he wouldn't have done such filthy things as seducing Daoxu and planting so many moles in Hundred Flowers Valley.
Tang Lanling did not believe in love, but she feared Lin Bai acting recklessly and slaughtering his way over.
After all, since Jiang Qingqin was in Hundred Flowers Valley, the probability of him coming to Hundred Flowers Valley first was too high.
After much thought, Tang Lanling still threw Jiang Yuru and her disciples out to find a way to delay Lin Bai's progress, while she herself went to the Moon Spirit Sect to seek help.
To gain Lin Bai's trust, Tang Lanling did not hesitate to dispatch one-third of the Golden Core Cultivators of Hundred Flowers Valley; her only requirement for Jiang Yuru was not to drag Lin Bai down in Qian City, but only to ensure he did not come to attack Hundred Flowers Valley first.
As long as Lin Bai went to attack other sects first and left Hundred Flowers Valley for last, then once she brought back reinforcements, it would be her success.
The infighting among the seven Righteous Sects for resources and rankings had led to a lack of unity among the sects below them...
Moreover, the several Righteous Sects had lived leisurely lives for a long time, and suddenly they encountered a monster like Lin Bai who did not play by the rules, used bizarre methods, and did exactly what he said he would do.
All the sects were caught off guard, their countermeasures were completely disorganized, and they were even worse off than the Evil Five Sects.
"Junior Sister Yuru, Qingqin has been gone for so long, could something have happened to her?" The one speaking was the Deputy Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, Chu Wushuang, who had Nascent Soul cultivation; she had an exquisite oval face and looked dignified and beautiful, but there was an irrepressible look of worry between her brows—Lin Bai's techniques were too terrifying, and since her cultivation was the highest, what if Lin Bai took a fancy to her and forced her to express her love in public without restraint?
"Senior Sister Wushuang, rest assured. I am quite familiar with Lin Bai, and under normal circumstances, as long as we are not his enemies, he is quite easy to talk to," Jiang Yuru comforted her. "He even tolerated the people from the Evil Five Sects, let alone us?"
"It is precisely because he has become so chummy with the people from the Evil Five Sects that I am worried," Chu Wushuang sighed. "Lin Bai acts willfully and recklessly; no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like someone from a Righteous Sect! I am most afraid that if Lin Bai goes crazy, he will make our sisters from Hundred Flowers Valley and the people from the Justice Alliance cultivate the Love Dao together. If that happens, even if he is eventually brought to justice, the damage caused to Hundred Flowers Valley will be irreparable."
"Lin Bai does not have such great ability." Jiang Yuru glanced at her senior sister, who was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, and said, "Senior Sister, you should know better than I do that the more powerful a Dao technique or Magic Tool is, the more taboos there are when using it. If Lin Bai could use his spells without restraint, he would have suppressed the world long ago; why would he go to such trouble to form some Justice Alliance?"
While soothing her senior sister, Jiang Yuru sighed silently in her heart—how much time had actually passed!
The youth who had called her 'Junior Martial Aunt' at every turn in Qian City had actually grown to this extent; Law Power is too terrifying!
It is laughable; the people of Hundred Flowers Valley are all too pedantic. They actually refuse to believe in the existence of Law Power despite so many facts—too stupid.
Speaking of stupidity, was she not the same?
Lin Bai had originally come to her first; if she had firmly believed in the path of Law Cultivation, how could she have let Hundred Flowers Valley fall into such a dilemma and reach this point?
Aside from Jiang Qingqin, Jiang Yuru was the one who had the most contact with Lin Bai, and watching him rise step by step, she had long since become a firm believer in the matter of Laws.
"He's here!"
"My god, why are there so many people?"
"Senior Sister Jiang, what should we do? Lin Bai has brought all the people from the Evil Five Sects; he isn't going to wipe us all out, is he!"
"Should we retreat first?"
There was a commotion on the Hundred Flower Shuttle; seeing a dark mass of Cultivators flying over from the direction of Qian City, many female Cultivators turned pale with fright, and the group fell into chaos.
The players were all indifferent, even a bit happy; having spent a boring time in Hundred Flowers Valley, they had long been eager to join the Beggar Sect as soon as possible.
Compared to the dull cultivation, the lives of the Beggar Sect players were simply too exciting...
"Quiet! If Lin Bai really wanted to surround and kill us, the Hundred Flower Shuttle wouldn't be able to escape anyway. Have you forgotten all the analyses about Lin Bai on the way here?" Jiang Yuru looked at the incoming Cultivators, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and she scolded, "Start the Flying Shuttle and meet them. He is not a bloodthirsty person; acting like this, he must be trying to give us a show of force. With Qingqin by his side, we can deal with this with peace of mind; nothing will happen..."
The Flying Shuttle restarted.
A moment later.
The two groups met.
"Sect Leader Lin, I trust you have been well." Jiang Yuru stood at the bow of the Hundred Flower Shuttle and cupped her hands in a salute to Lin Bai. "Qingqin must have told you; I have come this time to represent Hundred Flowers Valley and join the Justice Alliance."
Lin Bai glanced at Jiang Yuru and smiled slightly, then used his new Skill "Moon-Running" on the person beside her—if he didn't take the opportunity to test the Skill while the other party hadn't joined yet, when would he?
Standing opposite Jiang Yuru was the Deputy Valley Master Chu Wushuang; she was feeling anxious facing Lin Bai when suddenly, a great force came from beneath her feet.
She found herself involuntarily flying slowly toward the sky, even striking the most graceful flying pose with one hand raised high and the other at her side...
What is going on?
Chu Wushuang was terrified and tried to use her cultivation to descend, but she couldn't do it no matter what; moreover, when she exerted her cultivation, her speed actually increased by a few points. In no time at all, she had flown more than thirty meters upward, and she couldn't help but shout anxiously: "Yuru, save me."
"Senior Sister Wushuang, why are you flying up there??" Jiang Yuru was also dumbfounded.
In her eyes, Chu Wushuang had simply flown up on her own; although the pose was elegant, it was not the right time to fly!
Before the two armies, what are you doing making such a scene?
Too embarrassing!
The Evil Five Sects and the players on both sides were also stunned.
"What the hell is this? Triggered a flight BUG?"
"Seduction?"
"Have to say, the pose is actually quite good-looking?"
The players whispered among themselves.
"It's not me, I simply cannot control myself," Chu Wushuang said in a panic. "It's Lin Bai, it must be Lin Bai who did this. I told you before that he had ill intentions."
In the time it took to say a sentence, she had flown up another ten-plus meters.
Xin Shang and the others had originally been watching Chu Wushuang, who had suddenly flown up, but upon hearing her words, they turned their gazes back to Lin Bai.
"Lin..." Jiang Qingqin also regained her senses and turned toward Lin Bai, intending to plead for her senior martial aunt, but just as she said one word, she was interrupted by the little fox: "Junior Martial Sister, have some decorum!"
"Master, did you do this?" Jiang Qingqin glared at the little fox and asked stammeringly.
Opposite.
Jiang Yuru had a face full of black lines and said loudly, "Sect Leader Lin, we have no ill intent. Please let Senior Martial Sister Chu go."
Her heart was filled with horror. Chu Wushuang had only recently entered the Nascent Soul realm, but she was a genuine Nascent Soul expert nonetheless. Lin Bai had pushed her into the sky without a change in expression; his cultivation was becoming increasingly monstrous!
"That's right, I did it!" Lin Bai looked at the increasingly high-flying Jiang Qingqin, feeling pleasantly surprised. The Yuelao System was indeed powerful; was this "flying to the moon"?
It consumed none of his cultivation, activated instantly, and made her fly the moment he said so. It was just as hidden and effective as the Red Thread...
Moreover, it could be used on two or more people; he would never have to fear group battles again!
He would never have to worry about Cupid's bow failing to hit people again!
A divine Skill!
It was just that he didn't know where she would fly off to.
Watching Chu Wushuang howling and completely losing her image, Jiang Yuru was embarrassed beyond measure: "Sect Leader Lin, please let Senior Martial Sister Chu go. We came to join the Justice Alliance. If you treat allies this way, what will others think when word gets out?"
"Aren't you here to act as undercover agents and stall for time?" Lin Bai looked at Jiang Yuru strangely, not giving her any face at all. "The Beggar Sect has so many undercover agents; they already passed the news back. Senior Martial Sister Jiang, don't deceive yourself. With the Heavenly Descended, there are no secrets in this world. The old rules no longer work. In the future, we must adapt to a straightforward style of conduct to gain a foothold in the world and avoid embarrassment."
"Sect Leader Lin, that was a misunderstanding," Jiang Yuru chuckled dryly. "We knew about the undercover matter, yet we still came—doesn't that represent our sincerity?"
She looked up at the sky. In this short time, Chu Wushuang had already flown several hundred meters away, and there was no sign of her stopping. She became even more anxious: "Sect Leader Lin, we can talk things over. Why not bring Senior Martial Sister Chu down first? I only brought so many people; I couldn't beat you anyway, could I?"
"Senior Martial Sister Jiang, it's not that I don't want to let her down," Lin Bai looked at Jiang Yuru and said awkwardly, "It's just that I don't know how to bring her down either."
"You don't know?" A voice rang out simultaneously from the surroundings and the opposite side.
"Correct." Lin Bai cast a gentle gaze toward Jiang Qingqin and said, "As everyone knows, Qingqin and I are cultivating the Love Dao. We haven't seen each other for many days, and upon meeting today, the intense love in our hearts burst forth, and I suddenly realized this divine ability. This was my first time using it, and I didn't know what the effect would be."
"A divine ability?"
"The Love Dao?"
"Damn it, everyone is cultivating the Love Dao, so why is it that Sect Leader Lin can always realize divine abilities?"
"Isn't he cultivating 'Words Follow the Law'?"
"Why would the Love Dao realize a divine ability that flies people like a kite? That's a bit of a stretch!"
"Can players actually cultivate Laws? I'm starting to envy Sect Leader Lin. A perfect knock-up Skill, and the height is absurd. If I could cultivate Laws, I'd consider finding a native to fall in love with!"
Players and natives were in an uproar at the same time.
The way Xin Shang and the others looked at Lin Bai had changed; their hearts were racing and their mouths were dry.
They had fought Lin Bai before and had avoided Lin Bai's Love Arrow by hiding in a battle formation.
Back then.
If he had known this divine ability, one arrow would have been fired, and no one could have dodged it. Perhaps they would have long since become exactly like Pei Yanzong.
Seeing Lin Bai send Chu Wushuang into the sky without saying a word, he didn't look like someone who was low-key and forbearing at all.
In other words.
The Laws are real!
Gulp!
Several sect leaders swallowed their saliva in unison and looked at the Hundred Flowers Valley Disciples—a bevy of beauties—on the opposite side, considering whether they should also follow Lin Bai and cultivate the Love Dao.
The person on the other side was a Nascent Soul expert!
He sent her into the sky with a casual gesture; even if they tried, they couldn't do that!
Qingyu and Huaxi gripped each other's hands and looked at each other; they said nothing, yet it was as if they had said everything.
Thus.
The two pressed even closer together.
Because I realized it!
Jiang Qingqin's heart was thumping rapidly. Looking at Lin Bai, her eyes rippled, and her gaze seemed ready to melt into water.
At this moment.
What Hundred Flowers Valley?
What Chu Wushuang!
They were all thrown to the back of her mind.
She gently touched her chest; her heart was completely occupied by Lin Bai alone.
Having realized the Love Dao from her, Lin Bai truly loved her. Relying on this point, let alone calling him Master, calling him Daddy would be no problem at all!
Laws must be promoted at all times, of course!
Otherwise.
These guys would still think he was lying to them...
Taking in everyone's expressions, Lin Bai looked up at the sky, watched Chu Wushuang, who had already become a small black dot, and smiled slightly, saying proudly: "I call this divine ability Love Separation."
"Master, I will never be separated from you again." Jiang Qingqin looked at Lin Bai, a sense of guilt rising from her heart for no reason, and said softly.
The little white fox cast a jealous glance at her and shrank further into Lin Bai's embrace, as if declaring her sovereignty.
"Of course, we must also lead by example, so that more people in the world can comprehend the Love Dao!" Lin Bai looked back at her and smiled gently, "Even if one cannot ultimately become the Love God, comprehending one or two more divine abilities is still beneficial for combat."
"Mm." Jiang Qingqin was so muddled by love that she did not even consider why, when both of them were cultivating the Love Dao, only Lin Bai had mastered a divine ability, while she could do nothing.
Damn it!
Jiang Yuru was going crazy; if you have comprehended a divine ability, do you really have to use it?
Chu Wushuang was already worried about you being unscrupulous.
And now look at this.
It's confirmed!
What kind of mess is this!
Sighing, Jiang Yuru said, "Sect Leader Lin, the matter of the laws can be discussed later; is there really no way for you to call Senior Sister Chu back?"
Before the words had even faded.
A faint, indistinct scream came from the sky.
Everyone hurriedly looked up.
Chu Wushuang, who had long since become a small black dot, was already descending rapidly from the sky; after the initial panic, she quickly used Wind Riding to stabilize her figure.
But in her irritation, she still swooped down at a very high speed, in a manner that made it seem as if she couldn't wait to smash Lin Bai to pieces.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison; it was fortunate that she hadn't flown very high before falling back down.
If she had kept flying upward, there would likely be no one in this world who could be Lin Bai's opponent.
As long as there is a solution!
Chu Wushuang's figure drew closer and closer; she was wrapped in petals, her features twisted, and she was furious: "Lin Bai, I will not coexist with you."
"Senior Sister Wushuang, don't be impulsive." Seeing this, Jiang Yuru hurriedly went up to meet her; having finally explained the situation, she could not let Chu Wushuang be impulsive again and ruin the relationship between the two sides.
"Jiang Yuru, move aside." Having lost face in front of everyone, Chu Wushuang was ashamed and angry, and she sternly scolded, "Today, I will tear Lin Bai into ten thousand pieces; either he goes or I go..."
As she spoke.
She and Jiang Yuru were about to brush past each other.
At this very instant.
Lin Bai seized the opportunity and used "Moon Chase" on her again.
A cry of surprise.
Chu Wushuang abruptly turned her body, assumed the Moon Chase posture again, and floated up toward the sky.
Jiang Yuru was suddenly stunned on the spot.
The surroundings were silent.
The expressions of Xin Shang and the others became extremely ugly; she didn't fall down and was sent back up again—this damn Skill is truly unsolvable!
【Bitter Melon Vine】 looked blankly at Chu Wushuang, who was flying into the sky again, and sent a private message: "Does Shopkeeper Lin's new Skill not have a cooldown?"
"There should be one!" a player said uncertainly, "Otherwise, if he keeps using this move and she stays floating in the sky and can't come down, who would still be able to take down Shopkeeper Lin?"
"Even if there isn't, there should be a weakness," 【Jiang Bu Jiangjiu】 said, "It's impossible for a game to set an unsolvable Skill."
Lin Bai watched Chu Wushuang, who had been sent back to the sky by him, and was lost in thought; this Moon Chase didn't even go very far!
Furthermore.
The second activation required Chu Wushuang and Jiang Yuru to be close together; the conditions were too harsh...
