Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players

At the Morning Yuan Sword Sect.

The Justice League Army assembled.

Ten sects, each forming their own square formations, presented a dark and imposing sight.

Lin Bai hovered in mid-air at the head of the assembly. To his left was Jiang Qingqin, to his right the Little White Fox family, and behind him stood numerous Puppets.

Master Li, at the Divinity Transformation Stage, was closest to Lin Bai. Beside him stood Pei Yanzong, whose eyes seemed almost embedded in Master Li.

Struck by the Arrow of Resistance, Pei Yanzong had completely forgotten his former lover, Dao Xu. He now found Dao Xu utterly repulsive; his gaze, when it occasionally fell upon him, was filled with undisguised disgust. One moment Pei Yanzong was joyful, the next disgusted, and when Lin Bai joked, he even had to play along—a walking collection of contradictory expressions.

Dao Xu remained expressionless. He had loved Lin Bai, then hated him. He had been loved by Pei Yanzong, only to be utterly despised by him now. His own master had fallen for the lover Dao Xu himself had abandoned. His prized disciple was as close as glue to a woman from the Evil Sect. The lover of Lin Bai—the man who controlled Dao Xu—was Dao Xu's disciple. Lin Bai's pet was Dao Xu's disciple, often cuddled and petted by Lin Bai. Even the pet's mother was Dao Xu's disciple...

The experiences of these past days felt like an absurd dream, one from which he simply could not awaken.

All of this was wrought by that man.

Fortunately, all this absurdity was about to end.

No matter how formidable Lin Bai was, he couldn't possibly withstand a hunt by the entire world, could he?

As for his promise to Lin Bai... now that he had become this wretched figure, why would he take any vow seriously?

The Law of Nature?

The Heavenly Dao?

Mere tricks of an Evil Spirit to bewitch people!

Anyone who believes that is a fool.

Watch his words, observe his actions.

If the Heavenly Dao is truly such a path of cultivation, then this world might as well be destroyed...

Lin Bai deceived him, and he deceived Lin Bai. It was merely tit for tat.

Jiang Qingqin and Little White Fox had eyes only for Lin Bai, their gazes filled with tender affection, as if he were the only one in their world.

Qing Yu and Lady Hua Xi were nestled together, whispering sweet nothings, so intimate they seemed almost one being...

This peculiar assembly somehow made the heroic Lin Bai, a fine young man, appear as anything but a righteous figure!

Lin Bai, unconcerned with the group of misfits beside him, stood poised in the air, bathed in sunlight, delivering his pre-expedition war declaration. The Charm and bearing granted by the Villain System, combined with the temperament enhanced by the Emotional System, imbued his every word with captivating power and incitement. "A good Magic Treasure must be tempered by fire and water; a quality Pill Medicine must likewise be crushed and burned to achieve fusion. Recently, the Justice League has endured the most unjust treatment, as if dark clouds have obscured the sky. But above those clouds, the sun will always be shining."

"At present, what we must do is break through the shroud of those dark clouds, let sunlight bathe the earth once more, and expel the darkness and injustice from this world."

"The Justice League was established only a short time ago, and it's fair to say most of you were compelled to join. Perhaps you believe that the Sect Leaders reap all the benefits while you make all the sacrifices, that it's unfair for you to bear such immense risks. After all, the Seven Righteous Sects and the Five Magic Sects are like two great mountains that have weighed upon this world for tens of thousands of years. Compared to them, the Justice League is as insignificant as a speck of dust."

"You are panicked, fearful, worried about your future. You're afraid I'll use you as cannon fodder, and you harbor doubts about the Laws and even the Righteous Door. But those familiar with me know that in every battle, I am the one at the forefront. Can anyone from the Seven Righteous Sects or the Five Magic Sects claim the same?"

"The days ahead may be arduous, but I will still make you this promise: in every battle, I will be leading the charge. Perhaps, in the heat of the moment, I won't be able to protect every single one of you. But I can guarantee this: I, Lin Bai, will never be the last one to fall."

"Of course, you might argue, 'So what if you charge at the front? If you fall, we're still the ones in trouble.'" Lin Bai scanned the crowd. "But that's life, isn't it? From the moment you joined the Justice League, there was no turning back. The Seven Righteous Sects have meticulously demarcated the Cultivation Techniques of all sects. How could they ever permit the Righteous faction and the Evil Sect to intermingle? Therefore, regardless of my fate, you are irrevocably bound to me."

"If I achieve glory, you share in that glory. If I fail, you will find no grave. In such circumstances, why not fight to the death and strive for life!"

"What if we succeed?"

"You have already benefited from the elixirs of Medicine King Valley and had your weapons personally customized by the Artifact Refiners of Spirit Artifact Pavilion. Have you ever encountered such opportunities before?"

"But as long as we continue to fight, we will gain even more. We will draw more people to our warship, until one day, we no longer need to fear for our future or our lives."

"Cultivation itself is an act of defying the heavens, of wresting fate from its grasp."

"My Law of Nature, is it not also a means of seizing the authority of heaven and earth from within? A single spark can ignite a prairie fire. A mighty dam can hold back a flood, but even a tiny ant hole can cause its collapse, leading to an unstoppable deluge."

The crowd's emotions were gradually stirred, shifting from despair and frustration to a burgeoning, fervent will to fight. Unconsciously, everyone straightened their posture.

Lin Bai sensed the emotions stirring within the crowd. He raised his hand forcefully and, his voice slightly louder, called out: "Shall we fight?"

In unison, everyone raised their hands: "Fight!"

Xin Shang and the other sect leaders watched as their disciples were so easily roused by Lin Bai's words. They exchanged uneasy glances, a mixture of emotions churning within them. They had led their sects for hundreds of years, yet they had never commanded such influence over their disciples!

Then again, were they any different? Just days ago, they were locked in a life-or-death struggle against Lin Bai, and now they served the Justice League with complete dedication.

Whether the change began when Lin Bai threatened them or when they consumed the Spirit Condensing Fruit, no one could say for certain. But regardless, none of them thought of themselves as members of the Blood Shadow Sect or the Magic Spirit Sect anymore. Their only concern now was how to overcome the difficulties facing the Justice League!

Lin Bai is too terrifying! However, on second thought, this is also a good thing. If Lin Bai didn't possess such abilities, they would indeed have cause to worry about their own situation...

"Yes, we fight!" Lin Bai's hand pressed down, and the surroundings instantly fell silent. "But we do not fight for ourselves. We fight for justice! We fight for the propagation of the Law!"

"We are not bandits, nor are we Evil Spirits. We are a people of conviction, of ideals! We fight to shatter this decaying world! We fight for peace in this world! No matter the time or place, the principles of the Justice League must never be abandoned, never be trampled! Only by upholding this can we ensure that no one can ever crush us."

Dao Xu was rendered speechless.

"Some worry that if we set out, our home bases will be raided, given our limited manpower." Lin Bai chuckled and waved his hand. "But do we care about such things? I tell you, we do not! As long as we are on the offensive, their homes become our homes! Their resources become our resources! The Law is the bedrock of our existence!"

"You wish to cultivate the Love Principle, but you lack a partner? Luo Xue, a prodigy from Wash Flower Valley, has issued a challenge and awaits me there. So, we shall go to Wash Flower Valley! There, you will find female cultivators as beautiful as flowers. Surely, one among them can cultivate the Love Principle with you!"

"You wish to cultivate the Path of Ruin, but struggle to find the means? Those sects that stand in our way—you can unleash your ruin upon them! Destroy their sect gates, smash their grand halls! Let them experience the beauty of desolation! Let them understand what it means to be reborn from destruction!"

"You wish to cultivate the Way of Cooking? We shall conquer the Beast Control Sect, where ingredients are limitless!"

"You wish to cultivate Spoken Law Follows as well? I have compiled countless elegant phrases for you, bound them into manuals, and distributed them. Practicing on the battlefield will not only temper your spirit but also confound the minds of your enemies! As long as we are united as one, any foe we encounter will tremble in fear! Our Justice League will undoubtedly grow ever stronger and more prosperous!"

"Damn, my blood is boiling listening to this! What do I do?"

"How could it not boil? Robbing wealth, seizing resources, snatching women, expanding territory… Shopkeeper Lin makes it sound noble, but isn't that the core message he's conveying?"

"Justice League, he says? His words reek of a villainous aura! I can no longer distinguish who's from the Righteous faction and who's from the villain faction!"

"There is no Righteous faction, no villain faction. Or rather, except for Shopkeeper Lin, everyone else in the world is from the Righteous faction, including us Players."

"Who cares about righteous or villain factions? Just go with the flow and have fun! If the world isn't in chaos, how are we supposed to make money?"
