Chapter 309: We Are the True Saviors

From the moment Lin Bai made his move to the conquest of the Blood Sect, not much time had passed. The reinforcements from Wanhun Valley had waited for only a short while before the players, having no more excitement to watch, hurriedly logged back on.

"What happened over at the Blood Sect?" the anxious Ning Wenlin asked in a rush.

"Old Ancestor, there is no need to go to the Blood Sect anymore." The voice of 【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 was somewhat weary, yet somewhat excited. Meeting Ning Wenlin's puzzled gaze, he sighed, "The Blood Sect has already been conquered by Lin Bai."

"What?" Ning Wenlin was shocked, his expression changing. "How is that possible? How much time has even passed? With the Xuehai as a barrier and Tribulation Transcendence Stage Old Ancestors within the sect, how could the Blood Sect be destroyed so easily? Although Tribulation Transcendence Stage Old Ancestors do not easily make a move, even if they suppress their own cultivation, their strength is still superior to Great Vehicle Realm experts! How could there be no movement at all, and not a single person escaped?"

"Lin Bai has newly mastered a law called 'Phoenix Seeks Phoenix'. No matter how high their cultivation, as long as they are male cultivators, they will involuntarily perform talents when they encounter a female cultivator, and they are completely unable to attack," 【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 said.

"Perform talents?" Ning Wenlin was stunned and asked, "What kind of talents?"

"Singing, dancing, doing somersaults—they probably perform whatever they are skilled at!" 【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 clicked his tongue, shaking his head as he spoke. "Male cultivators all over the mountains and plains are surrounding a woman, showing off their talents without a moment's rest. A Tribulation Transcendence Stage Old Ancestor named Nan Rong has lost count of how many somersaults he's done. Tsk, it's too miserable."

Doing somersaults?

Ning Wenlin was dumbfounded. He could not connect performing talents with a great battle between cultivators at all. After being dazed for a moment, he regained his composure and asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me in detail; do not deceive me."

【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 pondered for a moment, looked at Ning Wenlin, and used brilliant yet concise language to recount the scene he had seen on the livestream to Ning Wenlin.

Purely treating himself as a spectator, the footage Lin Bai livestreamed to them was actually quite engaging...

"Even the Tribulation Transcendence Realm cannot resist the law?" Listening to 【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】's narration, Ning Wenlin asked in disbelief. "Lin Bai still wants to take the Blood Sect's cultivators to go on an expedition against other sects? How does he dare? Are you truly not lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?" 【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 pointed to the players not far away who were also gesticulating and describing the battle at the Blood Sect to the natives. "Old Ancestor, do you think we spent so long down there just to make up a story to tease you? The Blood Sect is right ahead, and Lin Bai has just entered the Blood Sect with his team to rest. If you don't believe me, Old Ancestor, you can go over and see for yourself."

【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 was adamant, dispelling Ning Wenlin's doubts. He frowned deeply: "All male cultivators cannot be exempted? They can't even attack? Then who in the world is Lin Bai's opponent?"

"Perhaps female cultivators can! Male cultivators controlled by 'Phoenix Seeks Phoenix' cannot attack Lin Bai, but Lin Bai also cannot attack them." 【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 recalled the discussions of the many players in the bullet comments and said, "Old Ancestor, the key to breaking 'Phoenix Seeks Phoenix' lies in the woman whom everyone is performing for. If she is killed, all the controlled male cultivators should be freed."

Ning Wenlin looked at 【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 and said, "Continue."

【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 said: "The law is ineffective against female cultivators. If they take action to kill the core woman in the middle, it will detonate those cultivators controlled by Lin Bai.

Of course, there is a key to doing this: the chosen female cultivator must have high cultivation and be able to quickly break the Binding Immortal Treasure.

The ropes Lin Bai newly refined are much sturdier; even those in the Great Vehicle Realm cannot break free for a while. Once bound, they might be beaten into serious injury by the Great Vehicle Realm cultivators swarming up, and subsequently turned into Puppets by Lin Bai. Several Great Vehicle Realm female cultivators of the Blood Sect have surrendered; at this moment, Lin Bai has already gathered more than ten Great Vehicle Realm cultivators by his side..."

"With such harsh conditions, how could it be achieved?" Ning Wenlin said angrily. "Which Great Vehicle Realm female cultivator could simultaneously deal with the attacks of more than ten cultivators of the same level while being bound?"

"Old Ancestor, you missed one point: their protective Dharma Treasures will also be broken," 【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 added. "Moreover, once you encounter Lin Bai, there is no chance of escaping. Therefore, this requires that the female cultivators who dare to assassinate Lin Bai must have an undying and indomitable Spirit..."

"..." Ning Wenlin was dazed for a moment, then said dejectedly, "There simply cannot be such a cultivator."

"There might not be a cultivator, but Wanhun Valley has been nurturing souls for tens of thousands of years; a powerful Ghost King might be able to accomplish this. After all, the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Old Ancestors controlled by Lin Bai have never suffered such humiliation. If they are rescued, those with backbone might immediately undergo Tribulation Transcendence and drag Lin Bai to die together. If eight Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts undergo Tribulation Transcendence together, the resulting Tribulation Lightning would be enough to send Lin Bai and his Justice Alliance to hell, right?"

【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 kindly offered an idea. Lin Bai's Fazhe Zhidao had completely destroyed the game's balance, and they had to find a way to get rid of Lin Bai.

Moreover, for the players, completing an impossible mission would also fill them with a sense of achievement.

Ning Wenlin was silent for a moment and said, "Perhaps it is worth a try. Did Lin Bai say which sect he is going to next?"

"It should be the Shengji Sect," 【Grandmaster of Strange Dao】 said. "Lin Bai has no clear intention. However, according to the standard of maximizing benefits, he should go to whichever sect is closest to the Blood Sect. After all, the Demonic Five Sects are like picking something out of a bag for Lin Bai; he can just sweep through them. Naturally, he will choose whatever is most convenient..."

Sweep through?

What an insulting term!

When did the high and mighty Demonic Five Sects fall to the point of being easily swept through by others?

Ning Wenlin felt a sense of desolation in his heart, yet he had to admit that this was indeed the truth.

He calculated for a while and said, "It takes at least four days from the Blood Sect to the Shengji Sect, and another three days to reach our Wanhun Valley. Seven days is enough time for us to plan."

Zhen City.

Patriarch Yuan Qing and Yi Wuji heard the news that the Blood Sect had been destroyed.

The two Grandmasters were stunned on the spot, unable to believe what they had heard; it was too absurd.

"... Sect Master, the Righteous Seven Sects and the Demonic Five Sects are separated by the Taiyi Kingdom. It should take Lin Bai at least a month to integrate the Demonic Five Sects," 【Eagle of Foresight】 said. "In the current situation, there is no need to compete for the gains or losses of a single city or territory. We should gather all the high-end combat power of the Righteous Seven Sects and fight Lin Bai to the death. Otherwise, once Lin Bai breaks us one by one, it won't be long before only the Justice Alliance remains in the world, and the name of the Righteous Seven Sects will be no more!"

Patriarch Yuan Qing came back to his senses and shook his head, saying, "How could it be that easy? The strength of the Demonic Five Sects and the Righteous Seven Sects is already comparable. Once Lin Bai integrates the Demonic Five Sects, combined with his Fazhe Zhidao, the Righteous Seven Sects will have no power to resist. Law? Law? Could it be that, as Lin Bai said, Heaven wants to destroy our Cultivation World?"

"Sect Master, do not boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige," 【Eagle of Foresight】 said. "Think carefully, Lin Bai is not without flaws to exploit. The Demonic Five Sects are the first to bear the brunt and certainly will not sit still and wait for death. We have the Heavenly Descended, who can obtain the latest battle situation at any time, and subsequently observe the flaws of the law from it.

Moreover, the Demonic Five Sects were forcibly suppressed by him and cannot be willing to work for him. Once we find an opportunity to make Lin Bai suffer heavy damage, the Demonic Five Sects that were forcibly suppressed by him will inevitably turn against him..."

"..." Patriarch Yuan Qing looked at 【Eagle of Foresight】 for a long time without speaking, narrowing his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Sect Master wouldn't be thinking of surrendering to the Justice Alliance, would you?" 【Eagle of Foresight】 provoked him. "Surrendering directly to Lin Bai is indeed the method with the least losses."

"Nonsense." Patriarch Yuan Qing opened his eyes and shouted, "How could the foundation of the Heavenly Dao Sect of tens of thousands of years be destroyed in my hands? Lin Bai, a mere child, uses the name of the Heavenly Dao to commit evil deeds. How could the vast Cultivation World be controlled by him?

I am only questioning your schemes. Since you came to my side, the strategies you have spoken of have been logical, yet not one has succeeded. I even suspect that you are in league with that Lin Bai, just to help him overthrow this world..."

Damn!

What kind of bizarre idea is this?

Has he cultivated until he's stupid, or has he been driven crazy by Lin Bai?

If we were in league with Lin Bai, where would there be any path of survival for you?

【Eagle of Foresight】 shook his head helplessly: "Sect Master, it is not that our strategies are ineffective, but that Lin Bai is growing too fast. We cannot keep up with his rhythm. Let alone us, when you were dealing with Lin Bai, Sect Master, didn't you also fail repeatedly?

Saying that we are in league with Lin Bai is even more of a fallacy. Our civilization is technology, and Lin Bai's means are laws; the two are completely unrelated. If we understood laws, we would not have allowed Lin Bai to become the sole dominant force."

He paused and said, "Moreover, Sect Master just said it himself: Lin Bai is committing evil deeds. Since we Heavenly Descended entered the world, has what we have done caused even one-ten-thousandth of the harm that Lin Bai has?"

"..." Patriarch Yuan Qing remained silent.

"Lin Bai keeps calling us a catastrophe, little does he know, he is the culprit who triggered the catastrophe of this era." 【Eagle of Foresight】 looked at Yuan Qing, then at Yi Wuji, and gave a bitter smile. "Two Sect Masters, the Heavenly Descended had no mission when they descended into the world. But now, I feel that I have found the meaning of our existence. Perhaps our existence is to help you eliminate Lin Bai, the evil demon of this chaotic world, and return the world to a bright and clear universe."

"Saving the world?"

Patriarch Yuan Qing subconsciously rubbed his temples to soothe his throbbing head.

Lin Bai also came with the slogan of saving the world, but look at what he has done?

The law cannot be resisted, but the number of Heavenly Descended is vast, and they are Undying and Indestructible. If they are allowed to grow, they will be even more troublesome than Lin Bai.

Everyone wants to save the world, but without them, the world was originally quite stable...

The Cultivation World has been peaceful for so many years; why is it that when it is their turn, it has become so difficult?

Old Ancestors who ascended to the Immortal World, the roots of the Cultivation World are about to be dug up; are you not planning to come back and take a look?

"Facts prove that today's Cultivators have no way to deal with Lin Bai's laws," 【Vision Eagle】 spoke eloquently. "Lin Bai's Law Cultivation speed is fast, but we have Baimaicutong, so our cultivation speed is equally rapid. Moreover, we are Undying and Indestructible and fear no losses; it is quite possible that we are Lin Bai's nemesis. The most critical point is that we have reason, while Lin Bai acts on impulse, doing things entirely according to his own whims, with no logic to speak of..."

"You just said the Cultivation World has no way to deal with Lin Bai, and that you are Lin Bai's nemesis; why then did you just ask us to assemble the Seven Righteous Sects to oppose Lin Bai?" Yi Wuji asked suddenly.

"All along, you have distrusted us and have always harbored a sense of caution." 【Vision Eagle】 had been prepared; he looked at the two helplessly and confessed, "Since Sect Master Yi asks, I will speak the truth. Although my strategy just now was to find a reason for the Seven Righteous Sects, we do not believe you are Lin Bai's match. We were waiting for you to be defeated by Lin Bai; only when you feel pain will you remember our value, and only then is it possible for you to use our hands to deal with Lin Bai..."

Ancestor Yuan Qing and Yi Wuji's expressions sank abruptly.

Schemes.

Sure enough, there were schemes everywhere!

But just as 【Vision Eagle】 said, until the final moment, it was impossible for them to trust the Heavenly Descended.

"Two Sect Masters, this is also a helpless move." 【Vision Eagle】 looked at the two and said sincerely, "Lin Bai keeps saying that we will trigger a catastrophe. After suppressing the Seven Righteous Sects and the Demonic Five Sects, his spearhead will surely be aimed at us poor Heavenly Descended."

At that time, without the support of the Seven Righteous Sects, even if we Heavenly Descended are Undying and Indestructible, how could we possibly be Lin Bai's match?

Come to think of it, we are comrades on the same front. Even if the Sect Masters still have precautions against us, I wonder if you two have heard the saying: 'Drive the tiger to devour the wolf'?"

Drive the tiger to devour the wolf?

Ancestor Yuan Qing's expression stirred, and he asked, "What method do you have to oppose Lin Bai?"

【Vision Eagle】 glanced at his own barrage and said, "Sect Master, our original plan was to wait for you to be defeated, and then persuade you to break into pieces, hide among the common people, or flee into the deep mountains and high ridges. Then, have you teach us your skills, develop slowly, and use time to fight Lin Bai bit by bit, eventually defeating that powerful enemy.

Now that everything has been laid out, if the Sect Master trusts us, we can skip the intermediate steps and directly integrate the resources of the Seven Righteous Sects. In the shortest time possible, we can pile up the cultivation of a portion of the Heavenly Descended, then use other methods to delay Lin Bai's footsteps, and let us have a confrontation with Lin Bai first. If it is effective, the Justice Alliance's focus will shift to us, and the Seven Righteous Sects will be preserved."

"Sect Master Yi, what do you think?" Ancestor Yuan Qing asked.

"Perhaps it is worth a try." Yi Wuji nodded. "With the aptitude of the Heavenly Descended and the integration of all the resources of the Seven Righteous Sects, it is indeed possible to produce a large batch of experts in a short time."

"Concealing information, moving away from the original sects, and then ordering Cultivators to harass the Justice Alliance in various places can extend the time we have for cultivation," 【Vision Eagle】 suggested.

After a dark willow and bright flowers, another village; after defining the players in the position of Jiusheng, he found a new direction for survival.

The game has now completely lost its balance, but this benefit of doubling the life cycle is something no one will give up.

Just as the scientific community says, even performing Divination in a game is a beneficial thing for the world.

Of course.

The premise is that the players can possess a certain right to speak in this world, or simply control this world.

"Good, you step aside for a moment. This matter is of great importance; allow me to discuss it with Sect Master Yi before giving you an answer." Ancestor Yuan Qing did not immediately agree to 【Vision Eagle】, but waved his hand to dismiss him.
