Chapter 284: Lin Bai Alone Can Withstand Ten Thousand Armies

The Wanhun Valley ancestor Xiao Yu and the Tianmo Mountain ancestor Wen Ba used a few words to temporarily stabilize the military morale that had been disrupted by Lin Bai.

However, those carrying the Heavenly River and those not carrying the Heavenly River remained clearly divided.

The rift already existed; how could it be so easy to heal?

"Fellow Daoist brothers present, the current strategy should be to strike and kill Lin Bai with the speed of a thunderbolt, not giving him a moment to catch his breath." Wen Ba of Tianmo Mountain loudly invited the Great Vehicle Realm cultivators present, "The brat's laws are bizarre; the longer we drag this out, the more variables there will be."

"What Brother Wen says is true." The crowd responded one after another, continuously exerting pressure on Lin Bai.

"Being disgusting without hurting people has always been the drawback of your laws. Unless, like Wuwang and Zhou Zu, they are forcibly tied in marriage by your Law of Love and are willing to die for both sides. Otherwise, ordinary love is just an extra water ring on the body; apart from making people feel a bit awkward, it doesn't have much impact on daily life, and it even makes fetching water more convenient." Ye Song looked at the coalition forces regrouping in the distance and slowly voiced his insights, "Master, if you don't kill, they will never feel pain; it will only make your situation more dangerous."

"Are you threatening me?" Lin Bai glanced at the Heavenly River on Ye Song's body and asked.

"I am stating facts." Ye Song gave a chuckle, looked at Lin Bai, and said awkwardly, "Master, I am different from them; I truly want to comprehend the laws, and it makes no difference whether I have the Heavenly River or not."

"What are you doing?" Lin Bai asked.

"Doing what?" Ye Song was confused by Lin Bai's abrupt question.

"The people of the Justice Alliance have low cultivation, so it's understandable they don't help. You, a dignified Great Vehicle Realm cultivator, wouldn't have followed me here just to watch the fun, right?" Lin Bai said, "Ye Song, Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. I am the Alliance Leader of the Justice Alliance and must establish a glorious and magnificent image; I cannot strike at will. Since you want to be my Disciple, you must take the initiative to do the dirty work!"

What made you think you have a glorious image?

Ye Song gave a bitter smile: "Master, you think too highly of me. Facing seven Great Vehicle Realm cultivators, the Heavenly River and Love Separation can only serve as a distraction; they cause no harm to their strength at all. If you send me out, it's just sending me to my death. I am the only Great Vehicle Realm cultivator holding up the facade of the Justice Alliance; you wouldn't throw me out as cannon fodder, would you!"

Lin Bai looked at him with disdain and asked: "One-on-one, under the condition that the opponent is restrained, do you have the ability to beat them to the point of near-death?"

"That should be no problem." Ye Song said.

"Should? So you still don't have confidence!" Lin Bai looked at Ye Song, shook his head, and suddenly asked, "Which one is the Purple-Clad Ancestor?"

"The one wearing purple robes with a long beard." Ye Song was stunned, pointed toward the direction of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"The Justice Alliance never fights battles without confidence. Since you don't have confidence, Master will help you find a helper." Lin Bai looked at Ye Song and said, "Song! You just said the laws don't make them feel pain, which means your cultivation of the laws is still not firm enough. Master will help you strengthen your confidence in cultivating the Law of Love along the way..."

When did I say I didn't have confidence?

Ye Song looked at Lin Bai but did not refute him. The "Heavenly Dao Review" ranked him third. Although he did not agree with this ranking, he felt apprehensive about rushing out to fight seven Great Vehicle Realm cultivators.

He was not afraid of being injured; he was afraid that this unscrupulous fellow Lin Bai would stab him in the back.

After all, his reason for joining the Justice Alliance was a bit absurd. Although Lin Bai trusted him in words, he was on guard against him everywhere. Saving Lin Bai at a critical moment would better earn his trust.

"Purple-Clad Ancestor, have you ever thought about cultivating the Love Dao?" Lin Bai ignored Ye Song and looked toward the Heavenly Sword Sect, shouting loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken.

Every Great Vehicle Realm cultivator present felt insecure. With the cautionary examples of Zhou Zu and Zen Master Wuwang, no one wanted to have their marriage forcibly set by Lin Bai for no reason.

"Everyone, we cannot hesitate any longer. Kill Lin Bai quickly."

"Being forcibly tied in marriage by Lin Bai is just the right time to cultivate the Love Dao. Only by killing Lin Bai can the Heavenly River be eliminated..."

"Ye Song, why haven't you struck yet? Do you want to be Lin Bai's lackey?"

The many Great Vehicle Realm cultivators encouraged each other and hurried to urge their attacks.

The giant skull suddenly accelerated.

One after another, black Qi sprayed from the skull's mouth like falling meteors, dragging long tails as they smashed into the Defense Array of Zhen City, emitting thunderous sounds.

The demons raised by Tianmo Mountain slammed hard against the Defense Array, trying to find gaps in the formation to sneak into Zhen City and start a massacre...

The Purple-Clad Ancestor slashed out with his Sword, and the tornado-like Sword Qi hit the city wall of Zhen City, shaking the Zhenbei Army Cultivators behind the Defense Array so hard they vomited blood.

The Purple-Clad Ancestor's expression was calm. He was not as panicked as the other Great Vehicle Realm cultivators; there was even a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

After all, he was obsessed with the Law of Cultivation and could not truly love anyone himself. He had previously decided to use Lin Bai's hand to comprehend the Love Dao. The reason he cooperated with the others to attack was merely to force Lin Bai to act as soon as possible!

For the Purple-Clad Ancestor, the ideal result was to be tied in marriage and then cooperate with the others to kill Lin Bai.

At that time, he would enjoy the Love Dao alone and eventually cultivate into the Love God.

Wuwang and Zhou Zu were only threatened by Lin Bai's Heavenly River and thus taken advantage of by Lin Bai. The Purple-Clad Ancestor believed that if he were more alert, he could completely control his reason.

Void Refinement Realm cultivators took the opportunity to approach Zhen City. They did not have the strength of the Great Vehicle Realm and could not launch attacks directly from dozens of miles away; only by getting closer could they exert their maximum combat power.

The cultivators circled by Lin Bai's Heavenly River were slightly hesitant in their movements. All the theories about the laws were guesses; what if Lin Bai died and the Heavenly River remained?

"Alliance Leader Lin, the Marshal asked me to inform you that with such fierce attacks, the defense of Zhen City can hold for at most two hours." A Zhenbei Army Cultivator flashed to Lin Bai's side and reported the situation to him.

"It won't take two hours." Lin Bai glanced at him and transmitted his voice to the Six-Tailed Fox, "Hu Qing, I'll have to wrong you for a moment."

Hu Qing was stunned, not yet understanding what was going on.

The next instant, his gaze had involuntarily turned toward the direction of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and in his eyes, there was only the Purple-Clad Ancestor wielding the spirit Sword tornado.

The love forcibly bound by the Red Thread was intense and scorching, caught off guard.

Yet the person himself felt it was only natural.

The Yuelao System's new task was to hype up cross-species love; Lin Bai and his Xiaobai fox were considered a CP.

But he did not intend to continue hyping himself. One Xu Longyun and one Jiang Qingqin had already caused flaws in his Love Dao; if he continued to add settings, the Love Dao would be impossible to complete.

"Purple-Clad Ancestor, look at who is by my side?" After the Red Thread was connected, Lin Bai forcefully pushed Hu Qing to the front, "Help me kill the other Great Vehicle Realm cultivators, and how about I send him to reunite with you?"

"Purple-Clad!" Hu Qing looked at the Purple-Clad Ancestor and called out affectionately.

"Who are you?" The moment the Purple-Clad Ancestor saw Hu Qing, his mind was shaken violently. The colors between heaven and earth faded, leaving only Hu Qing in color; that was the feeling of love at first sight.

"He is Hu Qing, the lover I have chosen for you." Lin Bai hid in the Defense Array, watching the storm outside with composure, "Join my Justice Alliance, and you two can be reunited as husband and wife; otherwise..."

After a pause, Lin Bai reached out and took Hu Qing back into the card.

The moment Hu Qing disappeared, the Purple-Clad Ancestor's heart felt as if it had been hollowed out. The Sword Qi storm he was wielding vanished into thin air. He reached out forward and said hoarsely: "Don't."

Lin Bai smiled and released Hu Qing again.

A smile bloomed on the Purple-Clad Ancestor's face again; killing Lin Bai had long been thrown to the back of his mind.

At this moment, there was only Hu Qing left in his heart.

Watching the purple-clad ancestor's expression shift constantly, Ye Song felt his hair stand on end; in this instant, he had a slight suspicion about Lin Bai being the reincarnation of Ziwei Dijun.

To use the laws so wantonly, is he truly an Emperor?

"Brother Ziyi, do not fall for Lin Bai's treacherous scheme." Wen Ba looked at the purple-clad ancestor who had taken the bait and said anxiously, "Hu Qing is Lin Bai's Puppet; you are destined to have no future with him."

Elder Qiu of the Beast Taming Sect swallowed hard, watching his former pet beast become the lover of the purple-clad ancestor, and whispered, "Lin Bai's Love Dao is too terrifying; it is impossible to guard against."

"Shut up, stop cursing the love between me and Xiao Qing." The purple-clad ancestor raged, "Xiao Qing is the key to my cultivation of the Love Dao."

"..." Wen Ba was choked into silence.

"Brother Ziyi, Hu Qing is controlled by Lin Bai and has already lost his freedom. We should slay Lin Bai and save Hu Qing from this dire situation; only then can you two fly together." Xiao Yu was much smarter than Wen Ba, using a roundabout approach to persuade the purple-clad ancestor.

The purple-clad ancestor paused, looked at Lin Bai, then looked at Hu Qing, and raised the Sword in his hand: "Lin Bai, let Hu Qing go, and I can withdraw from this battle..."

Lin Bai glanced at the purple-clad ancestor and suddenly said, "Kill Hu Qing, and the marriage thread can be severed. Brother Xiao, Brother Wen, why don't you try killing Hu Qing to help the purple-clad ancestor find release?"

As he spoke.

He reached out and pushed Hu Qing out of the Defense Array.

Hu Qing looked back at Lin Bai, then looked tenderly at the seemingly crazed purple-clad ancestor, his eyes filled with a smile: "Ziyi, if my death can restore your freedom, I am willing to die for you. I do not wish for you to fall into pain and struggle because of me."

The power of love is great; Hu Qing's devotion to love overcame the fox-type favorability of the Pet System.

A good opportunity!

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he commanded the skull, black energy carrying vengeful spirits smashing toward Hu Qing; those spirits, having lived for who knows how many years, grinned hideously, ready to burrow into Hu Qing's seven orifices.

Once Hu Qing dies, the purple-clad ancestor will inevitably vent his anger on Lin Bai...

"You brat, how dare you." The purple-clad ancestor appeared crazed, channeling his power to transform into a streak of light, rushing toward Hu Qing, but it was clearly already too late.

But the next instant.

A Magpie Bridge suddenly appeared between the purple-clad ancestor and Hu Qing.

The Sword light transformed from the purple-clad ancestor crossed time and space, arriving instantly before Hu Qing; he raised his hand, and several strands of Sword Intent flew out, tearing the approaching vengeful spirits to shreds, then he pulled Hu Qing into his arms: "Do not do such foolish things again. If you die, how could I live on alone?"

"..." Ye Song was dumbfounded.

"..." The entire Zhenbei Army stood stunned on the spot; they were born for war, yet they were unwilling to be incited and dragged into war for no reason.

Therefore, every member of the Zhenbei Army who came to Zhen City was filled with resentment toward Lin Bai in their hearts.

But from the start of the war until now, Lin Bai had been controlling the rhythm of the battlefield entirely, and his various inconceivable methods left them overwhelmed and awestruck, to the point where they hadn't even had a chance to strike.

They had never known that war could be fought like this?

The introduction to Lin Bai seen in "Justice Weekly" was clearly different from the effect of witnessing it with one's own eyes; traditional techniques were simply unsolvable when encountering laws...

Of course.

The premise of all this was built upon the Defense Array of Zhen City; otherwise, Lin Bai would likely have been torn to shreds by the angry Great Vehicle Realm experts long ago!

Come to think of it, they could be considered to have helped.

"Brother Ziyi, you truly do stand on the side of the Justice Alliance." Lin Bai looked at the purple-clad ancestor with gratification, smiling slightly as he casually sowed discord.

Before he could react, Hu Qing had already transformed back into a card and returned to his hand.

The purple-clad ancestor was stunned, smiling as he glared angrily at Lin Bai through the protective barrier: "Give him back to me."

"Over there." Lin Bai waved his hand toward the skull that was already pressing into Zhen City; Hu Qing's figure had already appeared in the middle of the skull's mouth, surrounded by seemingly crazed vengeful spirits, ready to devour him at any moment.

The next moment.

The Magpie Bridge appeared once more beneath the purple-clad ancestor's feet; worried for Hu Qing's safety, he could not spare the energy to be angry at Lin Bai, stepping onto the Magpie Bridge to arrive at Hu Qing's side once again.

The skull composed of vengeful spirits was too large; the purple-clad ancestor and Hu Qing stood in the center, looking like two ants standing in the mouth of a giant elephant, completely inconspicuous.

However, the combat power of the Great Vehicle Realm had nothing to do with size; fearing the vengeful spirits would harm Hu Qing, the purple-clad ancestor roared, his long Sword slashed down, and his Gale Sword Intent unfolded; countless small swords composed of Spirit Qi swept through like a gale over fallen leaves, wantonly shredding the omnipresent vengeful spirits within the skull.

In the blink of an eye, the skull composed of vengeful spirits was torn open with a massive gap by him.

The gnawing of the vengeful spirits against the Defense Array stopped abruptly, and the pressure on the Zhen City Defense Array lightened significantly.

"Old Monster Ziyi, are you crazy? I wasn't even attacking Hu Qing. If you lay a hand on my vengeful spirits again, don't blame me for being impolite." Watching the vengeful spirits being slashed away by the Sword Intent storm, Xiao Yu's heart was bleeding, and he roared with bloodshot eyes.

Hearing this, the purple-clad ancestor immediately withdrew his Sword Intent.

He was bewitched by love, but his normal reasoning remained; he knew the culprit behind all this was Lin Bai.

He still remembered his original intention: after gaining a marriage through Lin Bai, he would slay Lin Bai and cultivate the Love Dao with all his might...

However, the marriage Lin Bai had set for him was his own Puppet, which exceeded the purple-clad ancestor's expectations; he had once thought he could control love, but he had not expected that for the sake of his lover, he would truly be willing to risk his life.

Is this what love is?

"Do you think you can just stop fighting if you want to?"

Lin Bai chuckled, and Hu Qing was retracted once again.

The next moment, Hu Qing was sent to Xiao Yu's side by him, and then, Lin Bai issued an attack command to Hu Qing, while simultaneously sending the purple-clad ancestor over via the Magpie Bridge.

Hu Qing's cultivation was only at the Void Refinement Realm and he was not skilled in combat; fearing he would be killed in one move by Xiao Yu, the moment Hu Qing got close, Lin Bai used Rope Binding on Xiao Yu, designating his belt as the rope.

A rear-hand suspension binding.

Before Xiao Yu could react, his belt had already neatly and efficiently performed the binding on him; one could see his hands involuntarily being pulled together behind his back by the rope, arms straightened, palms facing outward, while that belt wrapped around his upper body and shoulders several times in a flash, instantly suspending him in the void...

Under the gaze of the crowd, the Great Vehicle Realm ancestor Xiao Yu was tied into a work of art.

As he was tied up, the giant skull he controlled froze in the air, and the vengeful spirits, having lost their commander, stood motionless, forgetting to attack.

The Rope Binding had achieved miraculous results on its first appearance.

At that moment.

The air seemed to stop flowing, and everyone's gaze was concentrated on the suspended Xiao Yu.

Ye Song's pupils shrank abruptly: "This... this..."

Everyone now knew what the rope Lin Bai had refined on the spot was for!

Looking at the strange posture in which Xiao Yu was hung up, the Duke of the State seemed to recall something, and his expression turned extremely ugly in an instant...

"Law of Love—Binding Immortal!" Lin Bai's voice spread throughout the entire battlefield.

Of everyone present, only Lin Bai and Hu Qing were conscious; the order Hu Qing had received was to attack, so he did not care at all whether Xiao Yu was hung up or not, and he raised his palm to strike at Xiao Yu's crown.

Attacking at the same time as him was Lin Bai's Blacksmith Six-Piece Set.

The six-piece set appeared out of thin air, crashing down with a clatter onto Xiao Yu, who still had not reacted...
