Chapter 303: Phoenix Seeks Phoenix

~16 min read 3,005 words

Lin Bai's sudden actions disrupted everyone's plans.

Patriarch Yuan Qing urgently summoned the 【Vision Eagle】 and asked, "Sir, what is Lin Bai's intention here?"

Who the hell knows!

He is just a menace, completely refusing to play by the rules...

Can't he even finish building the portal?

An intelligent NPC being this willful, fearing only that the world won't be in chaos!

It really is, damn it, valuable for being authentic...

After grumbling fiercely in his heart, the 【Vision Eagle】 said, "Sect Master, for Lin Bai to dare attack the Blood Sect, he must have a new reliance. We should respond early!"

"How should we respond?" Patriarch Yuan Qing asked.

"Unite the Seven Righteous Sects to cut off his retreat, and take the opportunity to reclaim the territory of the Taiyi Kingdom," the 【Vision Eagle】 said. "It would be best to have the Demonic Five Sects quickly return to reinforce the Blood Sect, attacking from front and back to trap Lin Bai outside the Blood Sect's perimeter..."

"Once we do that, we will have completely torn our faces off with Lin Bai," Patriarch Yuan Qing frowned and said.

I don't know Lin Bai's thought process either!

The 【Vision Eagle】 looked at Patriarch Yuan Qing, suddenly feeling very tired. In this game of chess between the Justice Alliance and the Seven Righteous Sects, the weight occupied by players was too small; some things simply could not be reversed by wisdom and planning.

Taking a deep breath, the 【Vision Eagle】 braced himself and explained, "Sect Master, it was Lin Bai who tore his face off first; we cannot be blamed. He has not tasted defeat since entering the world; if we don't let him suffer a loss, I fear similar things will keep happening."

"You always have a point no matter how you say it!" Patriarch Yuan Qing gave the 【Vision Eagle】 a meaningful look and said.

"Times change. The consortium started with business; the marketplace is like a battlefield, and the situation changes in an instant. Only by responding to the enemy's moves at any time can one remain invincible," the 【Vision Eagle】 did not show weakness. "Blindly sticking to conventions is the way to death."

At the same time.

The monarch and officials of the Taiyi Kingdom learned of Lin Bai's new movements and cursed one after another, stating bluntly that Lin Bai disregarded the big picture and plunged them into danger.

The Duke of the State had no choice but to send people to urgently contact Lin Bai, asking him to find a way to deter the Seven Righteous Sects, while simultaneously mobilizing troops to deal with the strikes that might come at any moment.

The Duke of the State was exhausted.

Originally, with the Seven Righteous Sects overhead, the Taiyi Kingdom had been stifled for who knows how many years; every generation of monarchs and officials had dreamed of one day becoming the true masters of this land.

Now, having finally found a partner and shaken off the suppression of the Seven Righteous Sects, they were living in fear every day, even worse than before.

The Duke of the State could not be more regretful; had he known it would come to this, he would rather have sacrificed his own daughter than cooperate with a loose cannon like Lin Bai!

Lin Bai turning his attention to the Blood Sect was indeed a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Perhaps it was the news that he was setting up Magpie Bridges everywhere that stimulated the common people, making them impatient to receive the Love God's blessing, and the Yuelao System's mission was suddenly completed.

He obtained the new Skill: Phoenix Seeks Phoenix.

The Love God mission was completed, and the Yuelao System gave a new mission: 【The end of falling in love is marriage; host a grand and perfect wedding for the CP you personally facilitated; Reward: 300 types of marriage procedures】

The reward for the new mission is 300 types of marriage procedures?

What the hell?

What is the use of learning 300 types of marriage procedures? Does he have to go back to Earth to be an emcee?

Why are the rewards getting worse and worse?

Lin Bai was full of doubts in his heart, but the reward was lackluster, and the mission was actually very simple. After all, for those tied by the Red Thread, getting them married was a matter of course, and for those suffering from unrequited love hit by a Love Arrow, it was easy to handle by shooting both sides with another arrow.

The only difficulty was probably the missing Wu Wang and Zhou Zu. Of course, 【Lao Mi】 and the City Lord were also a bit troublesome, but with some effort, they should all be manageable...

What made Lin Bai lose interest was the mission reward; thinking it over, he still didn't understand what the 300 types of marriage procedures were about.

Therefore, he could only put the mission aside, deciding to do it when he had leisure time. After all, the rewards the Yuelao System had given him were enough for now...

What changed Lin Bai's mind was not the Yuelao System, but the War God System. The moment he stepped onto the territory of the Taihao Kingdom, the War God System popped up a new mission out of the blue:

【Conquest: The War God does not know compromise. I came, I saw, I conquered. Only by making everyone submit at your feet can the War God's prestige be manifested; Reward: Three Heads and Six Arms (Combat form, this form can exert three times your combat power)】

This reward immediately attracted Lin Bai.

Previously, his combat form was one eyeball in front and one behind, observing the battlefield with a distorted face to preserve himself.

But looking at the world with one eye was ultimately not very convenient.

With the avatar of Three Heads and Six Arms, there would be no blind spots on the battlefield for him.

Moreover, with six arms, Palm Thunder, cards, Recording Pen, Blacksmith Six-Piece Set... even when cooking, the extra two heads and four arms could protect him...

His own head and arms were always more convenient than commanding a Puppet.

Not to mention he still had the Great Demon Liberation Scripture technique; when necessary, the extra heads and arms could fly out to fight independently. In that case, the increased combat power would be more than just three times.

Nezha, Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and so on—every powerful combat maniac had the avatar of Three Heads and Six Arms. There was no more perfect combat form in the world than this.

Furthermore, Lin Bai suspected that Three Heads and Six Arms would very likely be followed by Seventy-Two Transformations.

As a native Earthling who grew up watching Journey to the West, the Seventy-Two Transformations was a longing carved into his bones. Seventy-Two Transformations was equivalent to seventy-two lives; if he could really roll that out, he could truly do whatever he wanted in this world.

Had he not been cautious and careful all along because he was worried about his own life?

Wealth is sought in danger.

The rewards given by the system were becoming more and more tempting, clearly wanting him to go out and stir up trouble, so why should he hold back?

With the precedent of the Taiyi Kingdom, the Taihao Kingdom was not easy to conquer; after all, it involved the Government, the common people, and every other aspect.

But attacking from the top down was different. As long as he could take down either the Demonic Five Sects or the Seven Righteous Sects, then turn around to subdue the countries below, it would surely be effortless.

"Master, why go to attack the Blood Sect suddenly?" Xu Longyun asked. "Just helping neighboring countries set up Magpie Bridges, if we plan it out, we can win the assistance of the Taihao Kingdom and the Taichu Kingdom, thereby dissolving the oppression brought upon us by the Seven Righteous Sects and the Demonic Five Sects, and the Justice Alliance can gradually expand through this. But an expedition to the Blood Sect—not to mention whether we can take it down—without you sitting in the Justice Alliance of the Taiyi Kingdom, it will definitely be bloodily purged by the Seven Righteous Sects or the Demonic Five Sects. They will not allow us to touch their base, and we will invisibly lose many allies..."

Xu Longyun spoke tactfully.

Although all her thoughts were on Lin Bai, she was, after all, a County Princess of the Taiyi Kingdom, and could not bear to see her country devastated because of Lin Bai.

"Master, we only have eight in the Great Vehicle Realm, counting you, it's only nine. The Blood Sect has at least dozens in the Great Vehicle Realm, and who knows how many ancestors in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage are inside the sect. I'm afraid we can't beat them, right?" Ye Song said with worry, his brows full of anxiety.

His personality was lively enough, but it wasn't until he followed Lin Bai that he realized he was far behind.

Xiao Yu and the others were dejected and terrified; in their view, Lin Bai's sudden decision to attack the Blood Sect was simply insane.

"Times have changed." Lin Bai looked around at everyone and said proudly, "Before, I only mastered Love Separation and Binding Immortal, so naturally I would keep a steady heart, slowly circle around them, break their schemes, and incidentally promote the Fazhe Zhidao. But not long ago, I realized a powerful divine ability from the Great Dao of Love.

This divine ability is enough to let us take a step further; why should we still endure their suppression?

Don't forget, my ultimate goal is to cultivate the Heavenly Dao.

What is the Heavenly Dao?

Looking down upon all living beings is the Heavenly Dao; the rules of all things are the Heavenly Dao.

Above the Heavenly Dao, there is no one else.

In recent days, I have walked further and further on the path of the Love God, almost deviating from my original heart. If I want to find the heart of the Heavenly Dao, the first thing I must do is not let people suppress me. I can tell you clearly: not just the Blood Sect, the Poison Sect, the Shengji Sect, and even the Seven Righteous Sects—one day, they will all look up to me from the bottom up..."

Everyone was speechless listening to this arrogant language. All the usable rules come from the Love God Dao; wouldn't it be better to just honestly be your Love God?

Why must you be some Heavenly Dao?

Xu Longyun looked at 【Silver】 and the others at the first opportunity.

【Silver】 said in a panic: "County Princess, without your permission, no one will leak the Alliance Leader's news."

"It doesn't matter if it's leaked. This time, whether we succeed in attacking the Blood Sect or not, the Justice Alliance will once again become the public enemy of the world." Lin Bai smiled. He looked at Xu Longyun, "Xiaoyun, you don't need to worry about the safety of the Taiyi Kingdom. We have the Magpie Bridge. As long as anyone dares to move against the Justice Alliance headquarters, no matter where we are, we can arrive in an instant. You must jump out of your original circle of thinking and consider new modes of warfare from the direction of the rules."

Xu Longyun smiled with effort and asked: "Master, what kind of divine ability have you realized again?"

"Phoenix Seeks Phoenix." Lin Bai looked around. Their team happened to come to a desolate place, so he simply put away the Magpie Bridge and said, "It just so happens I can show you the capabilities of the new divine ability, so you can be at ease."

As he spoke, he looked at Cen Qing and smiled slightly, "Fairy Cen, I have troubled you."

Cen Qing was stunned.

She hadn't reacted yet.

Xiao Yu of Wanhun Valley had already arrived in front of her, bowed gently to her, and then stretched his arms. In full view of everyone, he burst his upper garment, revealing his sturdy muscles, and began to dance a war dance showcasing a man's physique on his own...

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.

Cen Qing was dumbfounded: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, what is this?"

Xiao Yu was about to go crazy. His face was ferocious, and he wanted to stop the dancing movements, but it was as if he had been hit by Love Separation; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop.

Moreover.

Unlike Love Separation, even if he desperately urged his Spiritual Power, he could not speed up the dance movements. In a short while, his face turned bright red. While dancing with "hey-ha" sounds, he said: "Alliance Leader, please quickly retract your divine ability!"

"Wait a little longer." Lin Bai looked at the forcibly controlled Xiao Yu, smiled, and then looked at Zuo Lan.

"No." Zuo Lan exclaimed. She had already involuntarily rushed out. After bowing to Cen Qing, she took a vertical flute from her bosom, looked at Cen Qing, and began to play melodiously.

Immediately following was the expressionless Puppet Qiu Liang; his way of showing talent was also dancing.

However, unlike Xiao Yu, it was a dance imitating wild beasts, similar to the Five Animal Frolics. But he had not recovered his consciousness, and his expression looked somewhat stiff; he was the least coordinated of the three.

Gulp!

Ye Song swallowed his saliva, took a step back, and subconsciously hid behind Ye Lan. The rules of the Love Dao are becoming more and more bizarre; they really do ignore cultivation level!

With such rules, there is indeed no need to endure the Seven Righteous Sects or the Demonic Five Sects anymore!

The Purple-Clothed Old Ancestor looked at Lin Bai timidly, retracted his head, and hid in the crowd...

"This... this... is Phoenix Seeks Phoenix?" Xu Longyun asked with wide eyes, stumbling over her words.

"Yes, this is Phoenix Seeks Phoenix." Lin Bai was also seeing such an interesting divine ability for the first time. He swept a glance toward the players.

【Silver】, 【Huangye Lang】, 【Longxi】, and other high-level Beggar Sect players who were shocked by the new Skill also joined the courtship team.

The talents they displayed were much richer: 【Silver】 was singing a love song, 【Huangye Lang】 was dancing a hot dance, and 【Longxi】 was simply reciting a love poem affectionately...

As the number of people increased, it became increasingly lively around Cen Qing.

【I Am Not A Smurf】, 【Xia Shanhu】, and others who luckily were not chosen looked at each other, suddenly not knowing what to say.

After a long while.

【I Am Not A Smurf】 then said: "Shopkeeper Lin's Fazhe Zhidao is becoming more and more unreasonable. Now it is certain that the Game Capsule can definitely control our thoughts; it is too terrifying."

【Xia Shanhu】 said blankly: "Shopkeeper Lin is invincible. His art style is completely different from other NPCs! Is he the biological son of the Game Company boss? No matter how strong the cultivation is, there is no way to crack his Fazhe Zhidao. I bet Shopkeeper Lin will definitely become the nightmare of all players; no one can take him down..."

【I Am Not A Smurf】 said: "It is time to notify the Beggar Sect's advertising department and let them contact advertisements. With Shopkeeper Lin here, the consortiums cannot overshadow the Beggar Sect's limelight..."

【Xia Shanhu】 said: "Fortunately, those women from the Lin Bai Support Group didn't come, otherwise, Shopkeeper Lin's Skills wouldn't be able to be hidden, and the Blood Sect's NPCs would have to flee at the sight of him!"

"What kind of divine ability is this?"

"Is there no limit to the number of people?"

Jiang Qingqin and Xu Longyun's voices sounded almost at the same time.

"There should be no limit to the number of people." Lin Bai's eyebrows curved. He also didn't expect Phoenix Seeks Phoenix to be so effective. He smiled, "In the natural world, for the sake of reproduction, male creatures will show their strength to females in various ways to gain the favor of the females. I saw two birds courting in the wild that day, had a sudden realization, and realized this divine ability..."

"Master, your comprehension of the Fazhe Zhidao is far worse than the Ancestral Master's." Ye Lan turned her stiff neck, looked at Ye Song hiding behind him, and said coldly, "If I remember correctly, you also saw those two courting birds!"

"..." Ye Song choked, sighed, and said, "The Fazhe Zhidao is really completely unreasonable!"

What kind of damn courting birds?

What on earth do you usually watch!

Lin Bai glanced at Ye Lan and Belly-Defamation, but he still nodded at her, appearing to agree with her statement.

"Alliance Leader, the divine ability has been verified; can it be ended?" Xiao Yu's shouting became increasingly miserable.

"The verification is not yet complete. Fellow Daoist Xiao, suffer a little longer." Lin Bai said, looked at Ye Song, and said, "Ye Song, go up and hit them with a few palms to test it?"

【Resentment from Xiao Yu and Zuo Lan; +1 +1 +1...】

Ye Song did not hesitate, and with a "Whoosh," he slapped out a palm; a transparent palm print enveloped everyone.

But when that imposing palm print was about to touch Xiao Yu and the others, it suddenly seemed to be interfered with by something and dissipated silently.

Ye Song was stunned.

Lin Bai was also stunned.

Ye Song refused to believe it and struck out with another palm, yet the result remained the same.

Lin Bai raised his hand and slashed out a Sword Qi; just like Ye Song's, the Sword Qi naturally dissipated as it neared Xiao Yu.

His expression changed slightly; to think that Phoenix Seeking Phoenix would actively protect the suitor—what kind of useless divine ability is this?
