Read Genius One Second Remember Online, a wonderful novel for you to read.
"There's more."
Li Yao sneered. With his hands behind his back, he continued unhurriedly. "How much will it cost to destroy the Purple Pole Sword Sect without hesitation? The wrath of the Yuanying cannot be underestimated. Right now, you still have six Yuanying. If I were your leader, I would gather the six Yuanying and attack one of them, such as Iron Saint Qi Zhongdao's Grand Mystery Sect.
"As the saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind. As the greatest sect in the world, does the Grand Mystery Sect not have any enemies or other sects coveting its position? The Purple Pole Sword Sect will fight it until both of them suffer heavy losses and drag it down with them.
"The Purple Pole Sword Sect is bold enough to die, but does the Grand Mystery Sect?
"The Grand Mystery Sect is not bold enough. None of the so-called six major sects are bold enough. It is needless to mention the other smaller sects. The hundred sects seem aggressive, but they each have their own interests, calculations, and concerns. What are they if not mobsters?
"Lastly, although there are many sects on your opposite side, there are also sects that are secretly on your side. Since the so-called eunuch's gang is a gang, it is obvious that the Purple Pole Sword Sect is not the only one. I'm afraid that the remaining members of the eunuch's gang have gathered in the Hundred Blade Mountain.
"The Purple Pole Sword Sect is their example. We are bound together for good or ill. Do you think that they will watch the Purple Pole Sword Sect fall while doing nothing?
"When the time comes for a life-and-death struggle, rest assured. The remaining members of the eunuch's gang will jump out and fight with their lives.
"Even a hillbilly like me knows all the details. It would be a joke if Qi Zhongdao, the leader of the Cultivators, and the leaders of the other major sects did not."
Ling Lanyin was dumbfounded. She looked at Li Yao in disbelief and reverence.
She understood every word that Li Yao said, but she had never heard of such a logic before. She felt that a gate had been opened in front of her and a whole new world had been opened to her.
Looking at her slightly sluggish appearance, Li Yao secretly sighed in his heart.
He realized that having too much spiritual qi wasn't necessarily a good thing.
The spiritual energy there was abundant, and training was easy. Therefore, there were a lot of Cultivators in the Ancient Sages Sector, who could improve their Cultivation and condense their spiritual energy very quickly.
However, it was exactly because the training was relatively simple that the sharpening of willpower and belief was neglected. As a result, many people like Ling Lanyin, who had immense strength but were simple-minded, weak, and disorganized in their beliefs, had appeared.
On the same level, the Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector were definitely no match for the Cultivators of the Federation. It was not just the gap in technology but also the gap in belief and will.
At the very least, the Jin Dan experts of the Federation were all strong-willed and independent people. They would never ask such idiotic questions.
Ling Lanyin felt that the old monster in front of her was even more mysterious. Not daring to be disrespectful at all, she asked respectfully, "If I may ask, senior, why are the two parties at loggerheads right now?"
"It's just a negotiation."
Li Yao sniffed. "The Purple Pole Sword Sect took too much in the past two years because of Wang Xi's strength, which infuriated everybody. Now that the new emperor has ascended to the throne and Wang Xi has fallen, you have to give some of your gains.
"Calling you the remnants of the eunuch's party is merely an exorbitant demand. In fact, they cannot bear the consequences of forcing the Purple Pole Sword Sect to rebel even if they have a hundred and twenty guts.
"We are all well aware of that. Therefore, the Dragon Spring Meeting is in fact just a negotiation where the two parties ask for an exorbitant price. Of course, the Purple Pole Sword Sect will have to give you a lot of benefits, but exactly how much you will give and who you will give it to will depend on the results of the competitions.
"If the Purple Pole Sword Sect is strong enough and has the upper hand in most of the competitions, you will naturally be able to keep most of the benefits.
"If you are careless and lose a lot of the matches, and even your best expert, 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren, is completely defeated by 'Iron Saint' Qi Zhongdao, you will certainly suffer a lot of grievous wounds.
"Of course, if all of you completely lose and don't have the slightest ability to fight back, then it would be logical for them to take advantage of the situation and annihilate your entire sect. However, I noticed that all of you Sword Sect disciples are rather full of spirit, and the spirit clouds above your sect have condensed and haven't dispersed. So, the possibility of this is extremely small."
Ling Lanyin took a long breath in relief, completely convinced. She bowed deeply at Li Yao and said, "Thank you for clearing my confusion, senior. I was too flustered to calm myself down when I accidentally overheard the conversation of the Cultivators of other sects. Please excuse me."
"It's fine."
Li Yao put on a fake smile. Glancing at the excited Cultivators of other sects nearby, he said gloomily, "Those pests were bold enough to watch a fight between wolves, tigers, and leopards. They truly don't know what they are doing. When the wolves, tigers, and leopards are tired and hungry, there's no telling who they will feed on.
"Just wait and see. In my opinion, none of the six major sects, including the Purple Pole Sword Sect, will be losers in the Dragon Spring Meeting. Chances are that the remaining members of the eunuch's gang will be crowned as the delightful fellows who are planning to loot a burning house."
Li Yao did not hide his analysis ability.
It was because he did not want other people to regard him as a simple-minded warrior with more brawn than brains.
While demonstrating his invincible strength, he had to show a certain degree of wisdom and cunningness in order to be able to participate in the real core secrets.
Otherwise, other people would always regard him as a 'lunatic' or an 'old monster'. How could they communicate with each other?
Li Yao's glancing raised the attention of the Cultivators of the 'twelve sects of the South Desert'.
The few Cultivators had been secretly observing Li Yao and Ling Lanyin for a long time, too. However, Li Yao and Ling Lanyin had both intentionally dressed up, and there was not the slightest distinguishing feature on them. Therefore, they did not recognize them immediately.
Li Yao did not disguise the aggression and hostility in his eyes at all. He looked at the Cultivators as if they were fish that had been put on a chopping board and did not know what was good for them at all. As a result, a few Cultivators of the 'twelve sects of the South Desert' were disgusted.
It was only natural that the Cultivators from the remote areas were tough. The dozens of Cultivators from the South Desert all put their hands on their sabers and swords. The brawny man in the lead glared at Li Yao and bellowed, "Fellow Cultivators, are you talking about us behind our backs? If you have something to say, just say it to our face. What kind of hero are you if you keep your mouth shut?"
Li Yao took a long breath and chuckled at Ling Lanyin. "Kid, you've been serving me wholeheartedly on the way here. For your sake, I don't want to stain your home with blood the moment we arrive at your territory. However, if the few pigs and dogs say such vulgar things again, don't blame me."
Ling Lanyin gasped. Of course, she knew that the temperamental old monster was capable of doing anything.
The scene where Master Black Moon was minced into smithereens was still echoing before Ling Lanyin's eyes all the time. Her heart was palpitating.
Besides, Ling Lanyin had long been infuriated by the filthy words of the Cultivators from the South Desert.
Now that she was at the top of her home, there was no need to worry about being ambushed by the Cultivators of other sects. What was there to be scared of?
Shua!
The power of Ling Lanyin's Core Formation Stage suddenly burst out. Her flying sword turned into a streak of blue light and hit the chest of the South Desert Cultivator in the blink of an eye, blowing him dozens of meters away. He vomited mouthfuls of blood one after another, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get to his feet at all.
"You —"
The Cultivators from the South Desert were both shocked and infuriated. They did not expect that the two plain-looking Cultivators would be so brutal.
"Please calm down, Master. Please calm down. Such arrogant, ignorant, and foolish idiots will be taught a lesson by me. They are not worth your trouble, Master."
Ling Lanyin did not even bother to look at the Cultivators from the South Desert. She simply begged Li Yao.
She knew that once Li Yao took action, it would not be as simple as vomiting blood. The old monster would not stop until he vomited all his guts out.
"Who do you think you are?"
Completely ignored by her, the Cultivators from the South Desert burst into fury.
Swooshing noises suddenly echoed far away. Dozens of streaks of brightness rushed close. They were a team of tough-looking 'empyreal swordsmen' of the Purple Pole Sword Sect.
The empyreal swordsmen were the best of the inner sect disciples of the Purple Pole Sword Sect. Many of them were elite experts above the middle level of the Building Foundation Stage. Every one of them had well-tempered weapons and abundant experience in real battles. They were all famous soldiers in the world of Cultivators.
Under the pressure of their intimidating aura, the Cultivators from the South Desert hesitated and did not dare act rashly.
Dozens of empyreal swordsmen rushed close like lightning and surrounded Ling Lanyin like dozens of long arrows. They cupped their fists and bowed to her deeply.
"Senior Sister Ling, you're finally back."
"Senior Sister Ling, our leader has been waiting for you for a long time."
"It's an honor to meet you, Senior Sister Ling."
"Which sect are you from, Fellow Cultivators? Since you have come to participate in the Dragon Spring Meeting of our sect, you should settle your grudges on the sword test platform. Why are you offending Senior Sister Ling before you enter the gate?"
Seeing that the empyreal swordsmen were so respectful, some of them even kneeling before Ling Lanyin, and hearing how they addressed her, the Cultivators from the South Desert racked their brains and immediately thought of one person. Their faces changed greatly, and they shrieked, "Lan — Lan — Orchid Fairy Ling Lanyin!"
Orchid Fairy Ling Lanyin was one of the youngest experts of the Jin Dan Sect in the Great Qian Dynasty. She was definitely not a terrifying being that they could piss off.
The Cultivators from the South Desert looked at each other in bewilderment, their faces pale. Thinking of what they had just said, their legs were shaking so hard that they could barely move.
"Get lost!"
With the old monster next to her, Ling Lanyin did not want to cause any trouble. Her face turning gloomy, she bellowed at the Cultivators from the South Desert.
As if they had been pardoned, the Cultivators from the South Desert hurriedly lifted their companions who did not even dare to moan and fled.
