“Currently, the major forces in Tianhe County have dispatched Nascent Soul Stage combatants to begin encircling and suppressing these scoundrels, but the power of these scoundrels should not be underestimated. It will be impossible to eradicate them in a short time.”
“There are three demonic Cultivator forces, each representing a top-tier power in Tianhe County. It's possible that a Combined Dao Stage True Lord is overseeing them.”
“Above the evil Cultivators, there are descendants of ancient great demons, whose strength is said to be considerable.”
“Given this, for the sake of this great war, the major forces have decided to exercise forbearance for now. If things go wrong and provoke a counterattack, the entire Tianhe County could fall into chaos.”
“At that time, Tianhe County might no longer belong to the Human Race.”
Wu Xin said with a solemn expression. Ye Lin listened with a calm Face, lost in thought.
Since ancient times, Righteous Path and evil have been irreconcilable.
In this world, evil Cultivators are like rats scurrying across the street, but demonic Cultivators are not. They have their own forces, their own Dao traditions, and their own Legacies.
Within Tianhe County, the demonic Cultivator forces also hold a certain degree of influence.
What's more, matters involving a Combined Dao Stage True Lord are not trivial.
If a Combined Dao Stage True Lord makes a move, given enough time and no obstruction from a fellow Master of the same Realm, they are capable of destroying an entire county.
That is how terrifying it is.
For the sake of temporary peace, the Righteous Path forces within Tianhe County have not initiated war against the demonic Cultivators, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“I didn’t expect the situation to be so severe.”
Ye Lin suddenly felt a headache. When he first arrived, he thought this was just a simple skirmish, but he didn't expect it to lead to such a huge problem.
If things go wrong, Tianhe County might truly fall into internal strife.
They are already struggling against one Yao Race, and with internal strife added, Tianhe County would inevitably be doomed.
“However, Little Monk, these are not matters we should worry about. The situation has not yet developed to an irreversible point.”
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Lin spoke.
After all, Tianhe County is under the control of Nameless Mountain. If Tianhe County falls into internal strife, Nameless Mountain will certainly not stand idly by.
The fact that Nameless Mountain has not yet openly intervened means that the internal strife in Tianhe County has not yet reached an extremely serious stage.
“Indeed, but Benefactor, what we should be concerned about is how to resist the next wave of Yao Beast attacks.”
Wu Xin, dressed in a yellow Buddhist robe, turned to look at the distant battlefield.
His departure from the mountain this time was also at the command of his Master.
Since the last grand event in Divine Sword City where he failed to secure a top-three spot, many within Foshan have become dissatisfied with him as the Buddha Son.
The Buddha Son represents the foremost young Prodigy of Foshan.
As one of the top major forces in Tianhe County, their own Buddha Son failing to even rank in the top three thoroughly caused them to lose Face.
Therefore, the voices of doubt grew louder. Afterwards, his Master suppressed all these dissenting voices.
And promised that he must achieve great merit in this battle against the Yao Race's attack to stabilize his position as Buddha Son.
Otherwise, he would be demoted to a Personal Disciple.
The treatment for a Personal Disciple and a Buddha Son is like heaven and earth.
“Little Monk, something is on your mind?”
Looking at Wu Xin, Ye Lin asked with a smile.
“Indeed, Benefactor, if Little Monk cannot achieve great merit this time, I am afraid that in the future, Little Monk will no longer be the Buddha Son of Fo Shan.”
Wu Xin said with a bitter smile.
Buddha Son of Fo Shan, to be honest, he didn't want it, but Face, he did want.
The former Buddha Son of Fo Shan being demoted to a Personal Disciple, at that time, he would certainly become a joke.
“What kind of great merit are you referring to?”
“Slaughtering one hundred thousand Golden Core Stage Yao Beasts.”
After Wu Xin finished speaking, Ye Lin was speechless.
Slaughtering one hundred thousand Golden Core Stage Yao Beasts, is that even possible? Even for him, it would be extremely difficult.
Those are one hundred thousand Yao Beasts of the same Realm, not one hundred thousand pigs.
“How many have you killed so far?”
“Five thousand five hundred sixty-three.”
After Wu Xin finished speaking, Ye Lin was speechless.
“Little Monk, keep it up, I have faith in you.”
Ye Lin turned and patted Wu Xin's shoulder, encouraging him.
Hearing Ye Lin's encouragement, Wu Xin felt even more uncertain.
“You are Ye Lin, the number one Prodigy of Tianhe County?”
Just then, a young man walked over and looked at Ye Lin, asking.
“I am. And you are…?”
“I am Li Shengli, the cousin of Li Youran and Li Youwei. I don't know what method you used to trick my sisters out of one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones and one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”
“However, I still hope you will return all these Spirit Stones. Also, you promised my sisters a drop of Divine Beast blood, and I know you were deceiving my sisters about that, so I won't hold it against you. Therefore, let's count that Divine Beast blood as one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.”
“In total, that's one thousand one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones and one thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones. These are not small sums. I hope you will return them all now.”
Li Shengli looked at Ye Lin with a smile.
“My debt to your sister, what does it have to do with you? If you want to collect a debt from me, tell your sister to come.”
Looking at Li Shengli, who was looking down his nose at him, Ye Lin gave him no Face at all.
This person hadn't even looked him in the eye since he arrived, and his nostrils were practically pointing to the sky.
Moreover, his attitude was extremely arrogant, causing Ye Lin's opinion of him to rapidly plummet.
“I am here on behalf of my sister. Surely a Disciple of Nameless Mountain wouldn't default on these Spirit Stones, would he?”
Li Shengli exuded a strong Nascent Soul Stage aura, scoffing.
“I said, if you want to collect the debt, have your sister come personally. If Li Youwei comes herself, I will pay immediately. But you? No.”
Ye Lin retorted, his Destruction Sword Intent swirling around him as he looked at the young man.
Li Shengli was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, Early Stage, and hadn't even comprehended a Concept.
Such a person, among those of the same Realm, was at the very bottom of Cultivators.
He truly couldn't understand where Li Youwei found such a useless cousin.
“My sister is busy and cannot come. I advise you not to be ungrateful; hand over the money immediately.”
Li Shengli said fiercely, taking a step forward. Instantly, a wave of pressure bore down on Ye Lin, causing him to stiffen. His Destruction Sword Intent was completely suppressed.
No matter how invincible he was within the same Realm, the weakest Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could suppress him.
“This Benefactor, I am Wu Xin, the Buddha Son of Fo Shan. Benefactor Ye is correct; to collect a debt, the creditor must come in person.”
“Moreover, Little Monk remembers that Jian Wushuang has already repaid Benefactor Ye's debt. Is Benefactor trying to rob him?”
Wu Xin came to Ye Lin's side, sharing the pressure of the Nascent Soul Stage with him.
Hearing Wu Xin's words, Li Shengli's eyes first flashed with a trace of apprehension, then confusion.
In terms of power, Foshan was strong enough to crush the forces behind him. Although he was a second-generation Cultivator, arrogant and dissolute all day, he still knew who to provoke and who not to provoke.
For example, Ye Lin, in front of him, could be appropriately handled.
After all, Nameless Mountain was a large organization and would not go to great lengths for an Outer Sect Disciple.
Moreover, he didn't want to do anything to Ye Lin, merely collect a debt.
But Wu Xin was the Buddha Son of Fo Shan. His apprehension towards Wu Xin was much greater than towards Ye Lin.
After all, Ye Lin was only an Outer Sect Disciple of Nameless Mountain, while Wu Xin was the Buddha Son of Fo Shan.
However, when he heard Wu Xin's next sentence, he was baffled.
He had only coincidentally learned that Ye Lin owed his sister a large sum of Spirit Stones, but he hadn't heard that it had already been repaid.
