Chapter 279 Calculation
After explaining his plan and various details, Li Lin left the barracks late at night, changed into the clothes of an ancient monk in the fake elixir stage in an empty corner, and came to Sui Han Island in Meizhou according to the secret letter in the storage bag.
Sui Han Island is one of the islands in Meizhou. Entrenched on Sui Han Island is the Sui Han Sect, a third-rate orthodox sect. The Sui Han ancestor has been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for many years.
Suihan Island is extremely large and is more like a continent than an island. It is the most populous place in Meizhou.
However, the Sui Han Sect was limited in strength and could not take over such a large area of land and population, but the Sui Han Sect was unwilling to give this piece of fat meat to another third-rate righteous sect. Therefore, the Sui Han Sect used the operation method of the consumption sect to disperse its elders and form new sects. There were righteous sects and evil sects, barely covering the entire Sui Han Island.
The overall strength of the Sui Han Sect was thus dispersed. In order to ensure the influence of the sect, they deliberately spread the cultivation method, which led to the emergence of gangs headed by cultivators in various places, and the shadow of the Sui Han Sect was also present in those gangs.
Li Lin, disguised as a fake Dan cultivator, first found a Luan Dao Gang headed by a demon cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation building according to the information in the secret letter.
The expedition to the small states was only a side benefit for the princes to gain experience; the real purpose was to suppress the influence of the millions of Taoist sects.
The army was moved there, and the princes were ordered to hunt down the evil cultivators and monsters, putting pressure on all the cultivators in the small state.
It was telling the cultivators in the small state that they were already here, so they should not have any fluke mentality and think that Dayu would not start a war for those small cultivators in the small state. They should surrender quickly before they start to bully the weak.
Under normal circumstances, the monks in Meizhou would surrender at the speed of light.
But they are backed by Taoism, and Taoism will never watch Dayu eliminate the influence of their sect.
The Taoist sect does not want to offend Dayu, but will also demonstrate its own abilities and skills in order to stabilize the alliance of these millions of sects.
Therefore, when Dayu's expeditionary force arrived in Meizhou, the Taoist sect also openly sent a large army. The two leaders were both the best among the super sects, and were geniuses who could rival Ji Fa and Ji Ling'er.
Dayu was fighting under the banner of an expedition to eliminate demons, and he would kill anyone he could, unless they surrendered.
The Daoist sect is waving the banner of cleaning up the sect, only arresting but not killing. Although all assets will be confiscated, they will not be handed over to Dayu. Where those assets will go by then, no one knows.
Anyway, Taoism doesn’t care about that little bit of resources.
Firstly, it is to convey information to millions of sects. Their Taoist sect protects all the sects. If anything really happens, they will be the first to take responsibility. Secondly, it is to let those sects express their stance.
Want them to cover the bottom? Sure, show some attitude. The Taoist sect doesn't need weaklings who are frightened by Dayu.
This was the first time that Meizhou had experienced an expedition to eliminate demons, but it was not the first time that the millions of sects had seen an expedition to eliminate demons.
Dayu really destroyed the sect, and the Taoist sect really would cover up and help to steal the sky and change the day. Since they have already established a sect, of course they know which side to choose. Therefore, most of the sects have the upper level hiding, and the lower level does what they should do.
On the contrary, the surrender of the Huantian Sect this time seemed out of place and caught many people off guard.
But what caught them off guard was the ridicule for the Huantian Sect's short-sightedness.
Although Dayu is strong, the world is vast and rich, and Dayu is unable to split himself up. Although the millions of Taoist sects cannot be completely united, they have the same goal. Isn't this expedition to eliminate demons a test of the Taoist sects?
Those who hold on will naturally be rewarded, and those who cannot will naturally be ostracized.
There is no difference between being ostracized by millions of Taoist sects and being destroyed. It is only a matter of time before the Huantian Sect is destroyed.
Without the Huantian Sect, Meizhou would naturally need a new largest sect and new cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
The Taoist sect cannot parachute a person of the God Transformation Stage out of the blue, and no one of the God Transformation Stage would be willing to come to a place like Meizhou where spiritual energy is scarce, so a new person of the God Transformation Stage will inevitably emerge from the remaining two third-rate sects of the orthodox sects.
How could the old ancestor Sui Han, who has been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for many years, let go of this opportunity?
Relying on the various secret letters in the storage bags of the ancient monks and his lightning-fast methods, Li Lin knew the general idea of Sui Han Sect's plan in a short while.
Patriarch Sui Han wanted to take Patriarch Huan Tian's head from the Taoist sect in exchange for an opportunity to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Even if the Huantian Sect surrendered, it is still a sect of the devil. It is normal for the righteous to wipe out the devil. Could it be that Dayu can still protect the Huantian Sect in this matter?
Of course, Patriarch Sui Han is not a fool, and he is not naive enough to think that he, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, has a chance to kill a mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator. Therefore, Sui Han Sect is secretly cooperating with another third-rate orthodox sect in Meizhou, the Zhongnan Sect.
Patriarch Zhongnan has also reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and he also urgently hopes to get the opportunity to become a god.
Currently, the two sects are acting in tacit coordination, preparing to use the blood of the ferocious beast that will soon appear in the Nine Yin Land as bait to attract the attention of the cultivators in Meizhou, draw the manpower of the Huantian Sect into it, and then force the Huantian Patriarch to take action, and then join forces to deal with the Huantian Patriarch.
As for whether these two people can kill the ancestor Huantian at that time, the Taoist sect is not here to sit back and do nothing.
After a little thought, Li Lin understood why Sui Han Sect and Zhongnan Sect acted in such a tacit understanding.
The Taoist sect may have already made a clear promise in secret that if the Huantian Sect can be destroyed, both Patriarch Sui Han and Patriarch Zhong Nan can break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Even if these two people have broken through, they are both in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation. According to the unspoken rules between Dayu and the Taoist sect, Dayu will transfer people over, but they will only be in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation. The governor who was originally in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation and was comparable to the realm of Ancestor Huantian will also be replaced by someone in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation.
Although the number of people in the God Transformation Stage has increased, their combat effectiveness has actually decreased. In addition, it will take some time for the new people in the God Transformation Stage to get familiar with the environment of Meizhou. Overall, the Taoist sect has made a profit.
For Li Lin, the son of Marquis Bahuang, who suspected that the noble marquis had connections with the ancient sect and was attacked by ancient monks and almost killed, this is a great opportunity to greatly improve his cultivation!
Those who want the blood essence of ferocious beasts are basically foundation-building cultivators. Once the blood essence of ferocious beasts comes into the world, the Nine Yin Land will surely be in chaos. At that time, Li Lin can take advantage of the situation and use the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art to enjoy a feast and improve his cultivation.
After enjoying the meal, Li Lin's cultivation level increased greatly, and there happened to be a drop of blood of a ferocious beast at the scene!
He would take advantage of the situation to form the elixir, and his cultivation would increase greatly again, and he would be able to enjoy a feast again. By that time, the three ancestors, Huantian, Sui Han, and Zhongnan, would probably be about to decide the winner.
The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art has no restrictions on the cultivators it can refine. As long as one can kill across levels, one can completely refine people who are at a higher level than oneself.
Of course, you can also pick up bargains.
Two at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and one at the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation stage. Even if you could get hold of one of them, it would be a great fortune.
After this killing spree, Li Lin not only gained enough cultivation, but also gained enough military merit.
"It's a good plan, but it's a pity——"
