Chapter 202: The Purest Evil Demon

Chu Wushuang went up fast this time, and came down just as fast. Watching this fierce woman descend from the sky like Star-Ye, Lin Bai was slightly stunned. What kind of situation was this? Could speed even be controlled by oneself?

"Senior Sister Chu, the misunderstanding has been cleared up." Seeing that Jiang Shimei had no intention of stopping her, Lin Bai looked up and called out.

"Cleared up your mother's ass!" Chu Wushuang had already lost her sanity. "Today, either you or I will fall."

"Does Senior Sister want to fall in love?" Lin Bai smiled slightly. Cupid's Bow appeared out of thin air in his palm, its cold, gleaming arrow tip aimed directly at Chu Wushuang.

Chu Wushuang's momentum suddenly stalled, as if she had encountered a flood or a wild beast. She braked urgently, hurriedly dodging the tip of Lin Bai's arrow.

But when she moved left, Lin Bai's arrow tip moved left.

When she moved right, Lin Bai's arrow tip moved right.

Chu Wushuang's face flushed red like a pig's liver, and she said in a fit of pique, "Lin Bai, are you even a man? Can you only use these dirty, base methods? Can't you fight a fair and square battle?"

"Senior Sister Chu, love resides in the heart. Only with love is there reproduction, and only with reproduction is there humanity. How can you call that dirty and base?" Lin Bai laughed. "Like you, deciding life and death at the slightest disagreement—that is the evil path that severs humanity. Senior Sister Chu, do not remain lost in your delusions!"

"..." Chu Wushuang.

Everyone was silent.

Daoxu glanced at Pei Yanzong beside him, his belly-defamation running wild: *Pairing me, an old Daoist, with an old man—reproduce my ass! *

"Like me, by persisting in the Great Dao of Love, the people around me will gather in greater numbers. Like Senior Sister, by constantly fighting to the death, the number of excellent people in the world will only dwindle. Is it not clear who is right and who is wrong?" Lin Bai smiled and continued, "Senior Sister Chu, stop making a scene. Join us and let us promote the Fazhe Zhidao together!"

"..." Xin Shang and the others suddenly felt insulted.

Was it because of the Love Dao that they joined the Justice Alliance?

They were purely threatened by the Love Dao!

Love—what a beautiful word, yet it had been forcibly defiled by the evil demon before their eyes.

"Shopkeeper Lin's rhetoric is getting more and more awesome!" 【Bitter Gourd Vine】 sighed.

"Is that rhetoric? That's just being shameless!" 【Silver】 said. "If I were in Shopkeeper Lin's position, even if you beat me to death, I couldn't say such things."

"Indeed! Compared to him, villains look like little lambs," 【To-be-or-not-to-be】 said. "Yet a guy like this is full of talk about love and justice. It's too shameless."

If you have the guts, put down the bow and say that again?

Chu Wushuang glared at Lin Bai, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, terrified that if she said the wrong thing, Lin Bai's arrow would fly over.

Why would such a scoundrel exist in this world?

Why would such a disgusting Dao Method and divine ability exist?

No.

What's disgusting is the person using the divine ability...

For the Love Dao to be mastered by such a person, it was as if the heavens had gone blind.

Poor her, a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator, actually being forced into such an awkward position in the air—how embarrassing!

With the first drum, the spirit is aroused; with the second, it wanes; with the third, it is exhausted.

After calming down, the anger in Chu Wushuang's heart had gradually dissipated, leaving only the fear of being dominated by Lin Bai.

Riding a tiger, it was hard to get off.

"Senior Sister Jiang, with the connection of Qingqin, the Justice Gate and Hundred Flowers Valley should naturally be on good terms for generations. I, Lin, do not wish to bully others by relying on my power. Please, Senior Sister, persuade Senior Sister Chu." Sensing that Chu Wushuang's emotions had shifted from anger to fear, Lin Bai smiled slightly. He issued a protective command to the two Nascent Soul Puppets beside him and spoke smilingly to Jiang Yuru.

You call this not bullying others by relying on your power?

You bully people, and then you don't even let them talk about it...

Jiang Yuru sighed helplessly and bit the bullet, saying, "Senior Sister Wushuang, come down. What just happened was merely a misunderstanding caused by the Heavenly Descended. It will be fine once it's talked out."

At the same time.

Lin Bai sent a voice transmission to Chu Wushuang in the sky: "Senior Sister, don't push yourself. Take the step down while you can. Otherwise, if I fire an arrow, you won't be able to control your own actions. Daoxu Zhenren has always been dissatisfied with Pei Yanzong and wants to replace him with someone else to practice the Love Dao!"

Chu Wushuang looked at Lin Bai, her breath held in her chest. She felt so aggrieved she wanted to cry. *F***, is this how you persuade people? *

Lin Bai's voice transmission continued, like the voice of a devil devouring one's spirit: "Cultivation is not easy. Do you really intend to die in battle to preserve your reputation? If you die in battle and I turn you into a puppet, that won't be glorious either. If I don't restore your consciousness, that's one thing, but if I do, and you're pointed at by others, unable to die even if you want to—wouldn't that be even more shameful? Of two evils, choose the lesser. Let us meet with a smile and dissolve our grudges; this is the most dignified outcome now. I have left you some face, so please leave some face for me, the Alliance Leader, alright?"

Every word of Lin Bai's was like a heavy hammer, striking hard at the softest part of Chu Wushuang's heart, blocking all her paths of retreat.

Encountering Lin Bai, even death had become a luxury!

This guy was too terrifying!

What stalling for time?

It was simply a joke...

Lin Bai was a natural-born evil demon; Tang Lanling was absolutely no match for him!

With a complex look in her eyes, Chu Wushuang slowly descended from the sky. She took a deep breath, hid all her grievances in her heart, and cupped her fists toward Lin Bai: "Many thanks to the Alliance Leader for your magnanimity in not holding Wushuang's recklessness against her."

"Senior Sister Chu?" Jiang Yuru seemed not to have expected that a single sentence from her would persuade Chu Wushuang to come down, and she widened her eyes in surprise.

"Senior Sister Jiang is right; misunderstandings are best cleared up. It was our fault to come here as undercover agents. Putting oneself in another's shoes, it is only right to be punished." Chu Wushuang forced a smile and said, "Only by experiencing it personally can one realize the power of the Fazhe Zhidao. Junior Sister, the Alliance Leader is magnanimous, and we should not continue further down the wrong path. We should wholeheartedly support the Justice Alliance."

Jiang Yuru was stunned.

Xin Shang and the others looked at Chu Wushuang with a different expression; able to bend and stretch, Chu Wushuang was a formidable rival!

"I thought she was so brave? Turns out she's just a person without integrity."

"It's not good when NPCs are too intelligent. They surrender in a few words; not a single one has any backbone. It's so disappointing."

"Those with backbone are either dead or turned into puppets. NPCs only have one life, so naturally they can't be as reckless as players. That's why I say, to beat Shopkeeper Lin, we still have to rely on players!"

"If you can't break his Love Separation, it's hard for players to hit him. During the process of flying upward, it's obviously impossible to use Skills. To defeat him, you have to learn some Martial Arts Skills that descend from the sky."

"Forget it, Shopkeeper Lin's Lightning Storm is invincible below the Golden Core realm. And you're talking about Love Separation? Your ideas are too naive."

"The Lightning Storm relies on a Recording Pen. If you destroy the Recording Pen or use electromagnetic interference to play it, you can disable his Lightning Storm."

"Electromagnetic interference? Are you sure you can pull that off in the game?"

"The appearance of the color printer and the recording pen means that technological items are allowed in the game; why can't we make an electromagnetic jammer?"

"Electromagnetic jammers are not as good as an insulation suit; that is simpler."

"We could also carry a lightning rod and set up a lightning protection array."

"Your focus is wrong. Shouldn't you be thinking about whether players can learn this move? Shopkeeper Lin just said that even if one cannot comprehend the Love God, one can still comprehend the divine ability separately..."

"Once Shopkeeper Lin's new skill is revealed, the number of players looking to fall in love with NPCs will surely increase rapidly. I wonder how many lucky ones will be able to trigger this hidden skill?"

"Old Deng, you are Lin Bai's personal disciple; you are the most likely to learn this move!" 【Longxi】 nudged 【Deng Li Buduo】's shoulder and whispered in a private chat. The two, who had both come out of Jiamu City, had initially looked at each other with disdain, but now they were the closest of friends and hung out together whenever they were free.

"Learn my foot. After I learned the Dragon Subduing Palm in full, Lin Bai hasn't taught me any new skills. I suspect he only took me as a disciple back then because he wanted to get close to me to understand the characteristics of players," 【Deng Li Buduo】 sighed. "I haven't seen any special care from him at all. The Love Stick from back then was given to Lao Mi to use, not me. Now, the little fox and Jiang Qingqin have both become his disciples; those two have looks and figures. It's hard to say if he'll even remember me in the future!"

"Don't be discouraged. Lin Bai doesn't seem like someone who acts without a purpose; perhaps a turning point will appear soon," 【Longxi】 looked at 【Deng Li Buduo】 and comforted him. "Regardless, you are much better off than me. Back then, I took Qingfeng as my master, thinking I had met a master who had attained the Dao, but it turned out he wasn't worth a fart. The most critical thing is that I met Lin Bai before you did; tell me, where can I go to reason with that?"

"..." 【Deng Li Buduo】 looked back at 【Longxi】. "Thanks, brother. After being compared by you, my mood is actually much better!"

"..." 【Longxi】's forehead veins bulged. "Deng Cancan, I have a 'MMP' I want to send to you."

"Forget it," 【Deng Li Buduo】 laughed. "Dalong, instead of sending me an 'MMP', why don't you give me some ideas on how to trick more skills out of Lin Bai's hands? I always feel that there is a trick behind Lin Bai's Law of Cultivation. Otherwise, for such a long time, with so many natives and players, it shouldn't be that only Lin Bai has repeatedly succeeded in cultivation while others haven't made a peep!"

The livestream audience and players each had their own thoughts, one after another expressing their views on Lin Bai's new skill.

The Beggar Sect's traffic returned once again.

Offline.

【Gugao Laoren】 was lost in thought. He had just suggested to Lin Bai that they create a grand scene, and before his words had even landed, something fresh had popped up.

Should he really stab such a cooperative NPC in the back?

【Gugao Laoren】 sighed wistfully and thought to himself, perhaps he should wait until Shopkeeper Lin has no more utility before taking action against him!

"Sect Leader Xin, I wasn't wrong, was I? Love and justice are eternal. As long as we persevere, the Justice Alliance will surely grow stronger and stronger." Meeting up with the people from Hundred Flowers Valley, Lin Bai said with a smile to Xin Shang and the others beside him.

"As long as you are happy." Xin Shang looked at Lin Bai helplessly, his face full of resignation; he did not want to make any comments on Lin Bai's behavior.

Whether it was a perverse sense of humor or just his nature, Lin Bai had indeed grasped the Achilles' heel of every member of the Justice Alliance.

Jiang Yuru and Chu Wushuang's smiles were very awkward.

"Alliance Leader, what shall we do next?" Jiang Yuru stiffly changed the subject.

"First, persuade the Chaoyuan Sword Sect to join the Justice Alliance, then go to the Medicine King Valley and the Spirit Tool Pavilion in turn," Lin Bai said. "Outside Qian City, the Heavenly Descended are growing rapidly. We must expand the influence of the Justice Alliance as quickly as possible to eliminate the catastrophe brought by the Heavenly Descended into nothingness."

Whoosh!

Jiang Yuru secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she finally knew the reason why Lin Bai had brought everyone from the Evil Five Sects out.

Delaying time was indeed a lousy idea.

However.

Lin Bai had placed Hundred Flowers Valley last, which could be considered as indirectly fulfilling the Valley Master's instructions; they hadn't made the trip in vain.

"Have everyone board the ship, we will detour to Jiamu City first, then set off for the Chaoyuan Sword Sect," Lin Bai looked around at everyone and ordered as a matter of course. "Baiyin, notify the mole in the Chaoyuan Sword Sect, inform their sect leader of our plan, and tell them that the doors of the Justice Alliance are always open to them; do not be obsessed and refuse to repent."

"Yes," 【Baiyin】 replied.

Xin Shang and the others were stunned: "Alliance Leader, is that really a good idea?"

Shen Kuang followed up: "That's right. The Chaoyuan Sword Sect excels in offense. If they are prepared and set an ambush on the way, I fear we will suffer casualties."

"Old Shen, Old Xin, you have made the same mistake as Hundred Flowers Valley," Lin Bai smiled at them. "With the Heavenly Descended here, no action is a secret. Rather than hiding, it is better to tell them directly; it makes us look upright and open, and it can also create psychological pressure on them. If we can subdue the enemy without fighting, that is the best strategy."

Xin Shang and the others looked at the many players, seemingly having realized something.

Each sect had its own means of transportation.

But Golden Core cultivators preferred to travel by Wind Riding; after all, compared to the dark and cramped flying ships, Wind Riding was more comfortable and flexible. As for the bit of Spiritual Power consumed by Wind Riding, it could be completely ignored.

Lin Bai walked alongside the sect leaders with his two bodyguards.

Realizing the power of the Law, Xin Shang and the others naturally would no longer avoid Lin Bai. Since he kept saying he wanted to spread the Law, it was only natural for members of the alliance to ask about some methods of Law Cultivation; he couldn't very well slap his own face, could he?

After two or three days of contact and observation, they gradually let down their guard against Lin Bai. Perhaps, just as they had guessed, whether it was the Love Arrow or the Law divine ability, Lin Bai could not use them as he pleased; the alliance needed living people to persuade others to join.

Ge Feiyun asked: "Alliance Leader, can one comprehend a divine ability without fully comprehending the Law of Cultivation of the Love Dao?"

"Yes," Lin Bai said.

"I observed that when Shopkeeper Lin used the Love Separation divine ability in actual combat, it was effortless. Are all Law divine abilities like this?" Ge Feiyun continued to ask.

"More or less! So far, the only divine abilities I have comprehended are the Divination Technique of the Incomplete Dao and the Love Separation of the Love Dao," Lin Bai laughed. "I won't even mention the Divination Technique; I'm not proficient in it, and I can only calculate the other party's name, so it's a chicken-rib ability. Love Separation, however, gave me a surprise; that is truly the heart following the Law, without even needing to consume the Spiritual Power in one's body. It is extremely magical."

He looked at Chu Wushuang beside him and said, "Therefore, even though I knew the intentions of Senior Sister Jiang and the others, I couldn't help but use it. In the end, it was just an excuse to verify the power of the divine ability. After all, Hundred Flowers Valley couldn't be considered 'our own people' at the time, so I had no psychological burden to strike at them... Senior Sister Chu, please forgive me for any offense."

Your explanation is worse than not explaining at all; so I'm just the unlucky one, then!

If you hadn't sent me those voice transmissions, I might have actually believed you!

Chu Wushuang looked at Lin Bai with resentment and said with feigned calmness: "It's no matter. If I had mastered a new divine ability, even if I were surrounded by my own people, I might not be able to resist verifying it myself."

Love Separation actually doesn't consume Spiritual Power.

Xin Shang and the others looked at each other, their hearts shaken.

Zhao Tulong asked: "Alliance Leader, does it really not consume Spiritual Power?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Lin Bai looked at him and said, "Otherwise, why would I say that the Law will eventually replace the current path of cultivation?"

"Alliance Leader, we are both cultivating the Love Dao; why did you comprehend Love Separation, while Qingqin has gained nothing?" Jiang Yuru suddenly asked.

Xin Shang and the others pricked up their ears in unison. That's right, this was the question they cared about most. Love is a two-way street; no one wants to be a furnace!

Jiang Qingqin also cast a questioning look at Lin Bai.

"Perhaps it is because Qingqin is not pure enough," Lin Bai looked at Jiang Qingqin with pity and said, "My master once told me that the Law of Cultivation is most afraid of wavering. Once you start cultivating, you must firmly believe that the Law exists."

"Any doubt about the Law will lead to failure. This may be the reason why Qingqin has not mastered a divine ability. After all, I have only been spreading the Law of Cultivation for a short month; it is normal for the world to have doubts about it."

"..." Jiang Qingqin's face turned deathly pale, as if she had missed out on the most precious thing. She looked at Lin Bai and choked out, "Master, I was wrong. I have indeed had thoughts many times that the Laws might not exist. I will never do it again."
