Chapter 280: Sudden Awakening_2
Is this Brother Qing's plan?
No wonder he wants to recruit the martial arts schools' forces.
Although the medium-sized martial arts schools in Tianyuan Town vary in strength, with significant gaps between the lowest and highest levels, in the eyes of major forces, they might not be considered much.
But in reality, they represent the backbone of Tianyuan Town, belonging to the category with the highest number of people.
This group, at the upper limit, can reach the strength of disciples from the Three major martial arts schools, and at the lower limit, they ensure a certain combat power to threaten demons, coupled with their large numbers, it shows their importance in Tianyuan Town.
Fang Yu does not know how many martial arts schools Brother Qing has recruited. Including some experts from the Truth Spirit Martial Arts Hall, one of the Three major martial arts schools, brought in from the Lin Family, if a chaotic battle were to deplete them, Tianyuan Town, if not greatly weakened, would at least suffer significantly in terms of combat and manpower.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu's scalp tingles slightly.
All this time, there has been an issue he was somewhat reluctant to face directly, which is now slowly emerging before his eyes, forcing him to quickly make a decision.
That is, the stance of the demons and the stance of humans.
Although he and Brother Qing are as close as brothers and deeply bonded, no matter how you put it, Brother Qing is with the demons.
So far, Brother Qing's every action, his purpose has been one: to join the great demon above and annihilate humanity, destroy Tianyuan Town.
Before, with minor actions and low status, the impact was limited, Fang Yu could turn a blind eye, play ostrich.
Now Brother Qing begins to play big, planning to kill many at once, Fang Yu feels uneasy.
"What to do? If things go on like this, demons will eventually doom Tianyuan Town."
"But to betray Brother Qing, I can't do that either."
Suddenly, Fang Yu finds himself in a dilemma.
He thinks of Zhuo Xueer.
Perhaps, it's time to start revealing some information about the demons to the higher-ups of the Foolish Underworld.
With his current status, some information can already play a critical role, affecting the structure of Tianyuan Town.
But any action might easily show flaws, leave traces, and how to handle it becomes another issue.
Fang Yu feels troubled.
On one hand, he does not want to betray Brother Qing's trust.
On the other hand, the demons' major movements put Tianyuan Town at extreme risk.
If Tianyuan Town is truly destroyed, or if the demon forces begin to dominate alone, his false demon identity will start to become problematic.
After all, being a fake, someday it might be exposed.
Even the higher-ups of the Foolish Underworld can always leverage this hold over him, keeping records and such.
"What's wrong?"
Zhuo Xueer, sensing Fang Yu's unusual reaction, suddenly asked.
"It's nothing, just a bit nervous with so many masters gathered."
Nervous???
Just after slaying the Stone Elder, there wasn't a trace of panic on you!
Zhuo Xueer's lips twitched slightly, clearly not believing Fang Yu's lies.
However, she didn't probe further, because at that moment, she noticed several familiar faces among the incoming crowd.
"Li Congan! Li Chu! Li Qianfeng!"
"Who? Who are they all?"
Fang Yu asked, puzzled.
"Those three, all from the Direct Lineage of the Li Family, listed as Trialists. I didn't expect them to show up here. Could it be... they've teamed up with Li Shidao???"
Normally, during the Li Family trial period, the listed individuals each act independently, adversaries to each other, and even if there are major movements, they act with their own subordinates rather than uniting with other Trialists.
But the situation now seems a bit subtle.
Zhuo Xueer does not know what means Li Shidao has used to get these three Trialists to agree to team up, but presumably, he must have paid a significant price.
[Li Congan: 2800/2800.]
[Li Rong: 3846/3846.]
[Li Xiazhen: 3177/3177.]
Within a bunch of health bars, Fang Yu found these three people.
Indeed, each one of them is a top-notch expert, elite!
Fang Yu was shocked.
No wonder it was said that the Li Family's core strength was far stronger than that of the other Five Great Families.
This strength, all of them are fiercely competent.
It seems that back then, Li Shisan, in the Li Family trial list, was considered the lowest level?
These people were persuaded by Brother Qing to come and participate in this great battle, and they are all true human masters...
A thought struck Fang Yu, and he faintly guessed the intentions of Brother Qing or rather, the demon side.
In this battle between the Lin Family and the Li Family, the real purpose of the demon side is probably these human masters who rushed to help!
They want to use human masters to counteract human masters, to make human masters fight internally, reducing the overall strength of humans.
Especially since the Lin Family and Li Family already have high-ranking positions infiltrated by demons, only leaving these core forces difficult to handle.
By taking this opportunity, to get rid of the tricky guys in the family, those thorns, quietly kill them all in this battle, directly facilitating the demon high ranks to completely control both the Lin Family and the Li Family!
The Li Family still has a Family Head as the final resort, but it is said that he is old and has not been heard from for a long time, no one knows whether he is dead or alive, and no one knows what his current strength is, let alone, if the Li Family replaces others, it would be equivalent to sidelining the Li Family Patriarch, leaving him isolated, no matter how strong, surrounded by a group of demons, it would be difficult for him to survive.
Fang Yu's heart sank, if the demons succeed in their strategem in this battle, the human strength of both the Lin Family and the Li Family would be greatly reduced, and likely, the layout of the entire Tianyuan Town would undergo tremendous changes.
A chill rose behind Fang Yu.
Notice the small to see the big.
Fang Yu, having intelligence on both the human and demon sides, could estimate the plans of the upper-level demons from these minor details, something others would hardly be able to do!
Looking at the crowd, seeing some masters from the Lin Family also starting to mingle in the crowd, Fang Yu became more certain of his guess.
He had thought about a decisive battle between humans and demons in Tianyuan Town that would determine life and death, but he hadn't expected it to come so suddenly and happen so covertly.
Without adequate intelligence beforehand, no one would have guessed that this outburst of conflict between the Lin Family and the Li Family was an important step in the demons' plan to eliminate human masters and calculate against Tianyuan Town!
He must find a way to stop this battle!
A flash of enlightenment crossed Fang Yu's mind.
If the demons succeed with their actions, their strength greatly increased, perhaps shifting from covert to overt.
Direct confrontation against the other Three major martial arts schools is naturally difficult, but combining forces to deal with the Foolish Underworld is more than sufficient.
Once the Foolish Underworld is in trouble, his own situation would immediately become the most dangerous.
Fang Yu thought far ahead, certainly further than any other person or demon present at the scene.
But just as he was still thinking about how to salvage the situation, to stop this battle...
"Ungrateful fools! Today, if even one person with the surname Li can leave this street, I, Lin Xiaoyun, will write my name backward from now on!"
Lin Xiaoyun's sudden shout abruptly started the battle.
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword towards Brother Qing, but it was directly blocked by Li Jiuxun.
"Everyone listen to my command! Every dog of the Lin Family, don't let any escape! Kill them...Kill!!"
The speaker was none other than the chilling voice of Brother Qing!
As soon as Lin Xiaoyun had acted, both sides were already eager to move!
After Brother Qing spoke like that, everyone suddenly burst into action.
"Kill!!!"
"Charge!!!"
"Kill the Lin Family dogs!"
"Cut down the Li Family's trash! Leave none alive!!"
The battle kicked off, instantly entering a heated state.
Both sides seemed to have bloodshot eyes, fighting fiercely from the start, every blow drew blood, and in no time, the street was filled with bloodied bodies, a gruesome sight.
Even the aftermath of the powerful's battle is hard for the weak to withstand.
Amidst chaos, both sides fought extremely fiercely, and many from the surrounding onlookers got involved, forced to act to protect themselves.
Several who were disguised as passersby from Lin Family and Li Family, human masters, took the opportunity to start sneak attacks.
Instantly killing several people, excited in their killing spree...
Dang!!!
"Li Congan?!"
"Lin He!?"
