Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players

[Increase your reputation, causing the insignificant to fear your name and not covet the Righteous Door (Completed). Reward: Main Hall (Within the Main Hall, all your attributes will double; it can be extracted at any time)]

[The disciples' reputation: Merely having an excellent Sect Leader is not enough. The sect's development also needs the support of excellent disciples. Please have three disciples descend the mountain to venture out and make a name for themselves. Reward: Sect's Spirit (Disciples who join the sect will consciously uphold the sect's dignity)]

The latest issue of Justice Weekly announced the completion of the Super Sect Leader System's task, and the world now finally acknowledged the strength of the Righteous Door.

Since the publication of the Wen and Evil Decree, cultivators and sects, both large and small, from all over the world who had come to kill Lin Bai, had all stopped in their tracks.

The Power of Laws is elusive, but careful research can always find weaknesses. The Divinity Transformation Realm isn't considered overwhelmingly high, nor particularly low. People with a certain degree of strength, driven by potential benefits, would often take a chance and try their luck. But the power of the Great cheng was enough to make ninety percent of people retreat. Luck could be tested, but strength could not. Challenging the Great cheng was no different from suicide.

Ultimately, a reputation in the Cultivation World must be supported by strength.

The next task from the Super Sect Leader System also required the disciples to gain reputation. Lin Bai had changed Return to Dragon View into the Righteous Door, so the former Huilong Observant Daoists were now considered disciples of the Righteous Door.

But given the trouble Lin Bai had stirred up, neither the Huilong Observant Daoists nor the five disciples he had taken through the Good Teacher System were formidable enough. None of them could stand on their own, let alone make a name for themselves.

In the Justice League, Little White Fox, Jiang Qingqin, and the others dared to call him Master. But if they were to leave the protection of the Justice League and venture out, they'd probably be killed within minutes…

Therefore, just like the task from the Good Teacher System, Lin Bai temporarily set aside the task from the Super Sect Leader System as well. If he wanted them to venture out, they at least needed to possess skills they could be proud of.

Why isn't there a system to make others grow rapidly? Such a nuisance!

The Main Hall, a reward from the Super Sect Leader System, could double his personal attributes, but Lin Bai did not extract it.

Previously, when he defined Return to Dragon View as the Righteous Door, he had placed a system-rewarded formation there. However, since leaving Return to Dragon View, he hadn't had a chance to go back. This always made Lin Bai feel that placing the formation at Return to Dragon View had been a waste.

The various system tasks meant he couldn't stay in one place for long.

Is it inappropriate to place system rewards just anywhere?

The Mysterious Ice Spring had been left in Qian City and had become a perk for the Beggar Gang's Artifact Refining team. The Beggar Gang even used the water from the Mysterious Ice Spring to create a brand for sale, which now had almost nothing to do with Lin Bai. The Mountain Protection Array was left at Return to Dragon View. While he wandered elsewhere, it was unlikely anyone would attack his old base. Thus, the array served no purpose; theoretically, it was now useless.

Therefore, before truly settling down, it was better to keep system rewards in storage.

Attributes double inside the Main Hall. Perhaps someday, when he attacks the Heavenly Dao Sect, he could deploy the Main Hall in their sect, instantly turning their home ground into his own…

Besides the Main Hall, the Earth's Core Fire awarded by the God of Craftsmen System, the Alchemy Furnace, and the Yin Yang Fan awarded by the God Doctor System were all still stored in the system.

Lin Bai believed that the Righteous Door should not have a fixed mountain gate; wherever he was, the Righteous Door should be there as well.

Walking through the lively, bustling Zhen City, Lin Bai finally felt a sense of being alive. He enjoyed the vibrant tapestry of city life; cultivators who schemed against each other all day long were too devoid of humanity.

The Justice League Army was too numerous, and entering the city rashly could easily cause panic among the populace.

Under Lin Bai's instruction, the Alliance Army did not enter Zhen City. Instead, they split into four groups to clear out the highwaymen and bandits on the roads leading to Zhen City and its four surrounding basic cities. They also helped repair the roads to improve transportation.

He was replicating in Zhen City what he had done in Qian City.

He had said that cultivation should be integrated into society, and he was determined to see it through. Transportation was the foundation of the economy. To revitalize this world, the roads had to be cleared first.

When the cultivators of the Justice League arrived in Zhen City, they helped repair bridges and roads, which significantly enhanced their reputation. Consequently, Lin Bai wasn't afraid, no matter how much slander the Seven Righteous Sects published about him in the Heavenly Path Journal.

The Seven Righteous Sects and the Five Demon Sects could learn from him and publish their own weekly journals, but they couldn't adopt the ideals promoted by the Justice League. If they did, wouldn't that prove that what the Justice League was doing was correct?

Moreover, tomorrow, a new batch of Players would descend. Occupying the basic cities would allow him to absorb the maximum number of Players into the Justice League. Firstly, this would strengthen the Beggar Gang and help achieve Big Brother's ambitions. Secondly, Players were a resource; the more he acquired, the fewer the Seven Righteous Sects and the Five Demon Sects would get.

It's safer to keep a powerful weapon like Players under my own control.

Although the Justice League advocated the slogan of bringing cultivation closer to the common people, the cultivators, with their millennia-old ingrained sense of superiority, couldn't change their attitudes overnight. They didn't know how to interact with ordinary people and were quite happy to do these miscellaneous tasks for Lin Bai.

Lin Bai, along with several sect leaders, Players from the Beggar Gang, and the Player-formed contingent of the Alliance Army, entered Zhen City.

The Justice League's Pill Medicine and Artifact Refining industries were mainly concentrated in Qian City. Due to the Wen and Evil Decree, these industries had been shut down for a period. However, as his reputation grew, the banned industries were allowed to reopen.

Now that they had arrived in Zhen City, they naturally had to expand their industries here.

The more widely his industries were spread, the more convenient it would be for him to complete tasks in the future.

Lin Bai's sudden arrival, directing the Justice League Army to repair bridges and roads, and establishing various Pill Workshops and Artifact Refining Workshops in the city, appeared to be acts of goodwill for the citizens, implementing the Justice League's strategy.

However, Feng Jing, the City Lord of Zhen City, was worried to the point of tears.

Lin Bai had just performed the incredible feat of blowing away a vast forest spanning thousands of miles with a single breath, and then he immediately led the Justice League Army to Zhen City to hold some sort of "Power of Laws Promotion Conference."

Was this helping him? This was clearly a threat to his life. In his view, Lin Bai wasn't holding any promotion conference. He was tying the millions of citizens of Zhen City to his Justice League, preventing the Great Chariot experts pursuing him from acting rashly. He claimed to bring cultivation closer to the people, yet he brought the chaos of war to innocent citizens. That man was simply too despicable!

After mulling it over, unable to sit still, Feng Jing decided not to wait for Lin Bai to seek him out. He proactively went to the Justice League's office to find Lin Bai.

When Feng Jing arrived, a group of "people descended from the sky" were hanging signboards for the newly purchased courtyard:

"Justice League Zhen City Office"

"Beggar Gang Zhen City Branch"

"Justice League Army Zhen City Office"

"Justice Weekly Zhen City Editorial Department"

"Tao of Heaven Review Zhen City Editorial Department"

"Demon Country Residence Quake City Embassy"

...

The row of gleaming signboards was more eye-catching than his own government office.

Feng Jing was staring blankly at the signboards.

Lin Bai had already come out to greet him, a wide smile on his face. "Well, well, what wind has blown the City Lord here? If you had any instructions, you could have just sent someone. Why trouble yourself to come in person? Come, come, come inside quickly! Silver, tell the staff to prepare some fine wine and good food, and find a couple of fairies from Hundred Flower Valley to keep the City Lord company…"

The task of speaking like a woman was still ongoing. The haughty older-sister style, the cute loli style, and the aloof queen style were clearly unsuitable for a conversation with the City Lord. Lin Bai gritted his teeth and simply adopted the most common procuress style seen in ancient government offices. After all, a madam was also a woman!

The moment Lin Bai smiled, Feng Jing instinctively managed a smile.

But Lin Bai's proficient Happy Red Courtyard style left him utterly dumbfounded.

He looked at Lin Bai, then at the courtyard where the signboards were being hung, suspecting he had come to the wrong place, or that the person who came out wasn't Lin Bai at all.

But seeing the uniformly eerie smiles of those around, the irrefutable evidence proved that the person before him was indeed Lin Bai…

Feng Jing's eye twitched involuntarily. Indeed, hearing of one's reputation is not as good as seeing one in person, he thought. How could such a wicked fellow shamelessly claim to be from the Righteous Door…

Seeing Feng Jing silent for a long moment, Lin Bai smiled again. "Oh, don't be surprised. You've come at an inopportune moment. I was practicing Spoken Law Follows. Since the City Lord doesn't like me speaking in a madam's voice, then I'll just change it! La la!"

"..." Feng Jing's smile grew even stiffer. He looked at Lin Bai and wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead. "Alliance Hierarch Lin, could you perhaps try another way of speaking?"

"Please call me Alliance Hierarch," Lin Bai said, looking at the unromantic Feng Jing. He switched back to the aloof queen style and shook his head. "City Lord, don't mind the way of speaking. Language is merely a tool for communication. We should focus more on the content of what is said, shouldn't we? Now, what brings the City Lord to me?"

Forcing himself to ignore Lin Bai's ever-changing speaking style, Feng Jing took a deep breath, clasped his fists in salute to Lin Bai, and said, "I would like to request the Alliance Hierarch to temporarily leave Zhen City."

"Why?" Lin Bai glanced at him. "My Justice League Army has committed no offense against Zhen City. On the contrary, we have done our utmost to boost Zhen City's economy and benefit its people. Yet, on the very first day I enter the city, you wish to drive me away. Are you opposing the policies of my Justice League, or do you simply look down on me, Lin Bai?"

"Alliance Hierarch Lin, I am merely the lord of a small city; naturally, I wouldn't dare disrespect the Justice League. Honestly, I have read all the issues of Justice Weekly and quite agree with the Alliance Hierarch's proposal that cultivation should serve the people's livelihood," Feng Jing hastily explained, forcing a smile. "But the Seven Righteous Sects and the Five Demon Sects have all dispatched Great Chariot experts to hunt you down. You, being a Great Chariot expert yourself, naturally know that battles between such experts have widespread repercussions. I have no way to communicate with the Great Chariot experts from the Seven Righteous Sects, so I had to come to you. Since the Alliance Hierarch prioritizes the people, I implore you, for the sake of the millions of citizens in Zhen City, to temporarily leave Zhen City…"

Lin Bai smiled flirtatiously at Feng Jing and said, "I knew it! The City Lord also looks down on those hypocrites from the Seven Righteous Sects. You can set your mind at ease. I assure you, even if Great Chariot experts come, I won't let them harm a single hair on the citizens' heads. How about this: the next issue of Justice Weekly will feature the citizens of Zhen City. We'll use righteousness to pressure the Great Chariot experts of the Seven Righteous Sects and the Five Demon Sects, so they won't dare to make a move…"

[Resentment from Feng Jing: +1+1+1]

Feng Jing forced another smile, having long forgotten Lin Bai's peculiar way of speaking. "Alliance Hierarch, that's not what I meant. I…"

"Alright, let's do it that way." A crisp voice came from outside the courtyard, interrupting Feng Jing. Immediately, a tall figure stood beside the two. It was Xu Longyun, revealing her true face. She glanced coolly at Lin Bai, then looked at Feng Jing and extended her hand, showing him a token. "City Lord Feng, I am Commandery Princess Yunyang, representing Duke Zhenguo. From this moment on, I will be fully responsible for liaising with the Justice League."
