Capítulo 1449: Chapter 1450: Pushed to the Edge of Danger
No matter the reason, he had to protect both himself and Xiaofang, so he responded, “If the sect leaders present don’t want to know the whereabouts of the remaining rings, then go ahead and attack .”
This statent shocked everyone.
Could it be that Lin Yifan really knows the whereabouts of the other Immortal Rings? Does this an that as long as his strength reaches its peak, he can collect all seven Immortal Rings?
The sect leaders felt that they must eliminate Lin Yifan, a strong and powerful competitor.
However, before that, they wanted to get the information about the whereabouts of the remaining rings, so they asked, “Young man, do you really know the whereabouts of the other rings?”
“Do you think we would lie to you?” Lin Yifan retorted.
“Then go ahead and tell us. We can let you and your girlfriend go.”
“Do I, Lin Yifan, seem like a three-year-old child to you?”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“It’s simple, join us to rescue our Valley Master and seize the rings from these two foreign cultivation organizations,” Lin Yifan replied.
“Dream on, and after rescuing the dicine Saint, the rings would be ours?”
“Seize them by strength, and you can only achieve mutual gain by cooperating with my Master!” Lin Yifan responded.
“Why do you say that?”
“Because he still has a ring hidden.”
“What? He actually has a ring?”
The sect leaders were stunned. They never expected that, unbeknownst to them, the dicine Saint already possessed two Immortal Rings and knew the whereabouts of three rings.
Fortunately, they had early on rid themselves of their dependence on the dicinal Saint Valley, or else they would still be in the dark.
“Otherwise, why do you think these two foreign cultivation organizations didn’t just kill my Master, but instead took him away? Surely it’s because they want to find out the location of another ring from him,” Lin Yifan answered.
“How did these two foreign cultivation organizations co to know about this news?”
“How would I know? Perhaps they sensed early on that my Master had an Immortal Ring on him, or maybe there was an insider who leaked the information. Or perhaps, it was accidentally discovered by soone. In general, there are many ways for these two foreign cultivation organizations to find out the news, so stop nitpicking here, guessing this and that.”
“Empty words, you think you can use our strength to seize these two rings, you’re too naive.”
“Believe it or not! Anyway, when soone else collects the rings first, don’t start complaining here.”
…
This was a test of suspicion; the sect leaders were very upset, not knowing whether to believe Lin Yifan or not.
While they were in deep conflict, the sect elders could not sit still and repeatedly persuaded, “Sect Leader, don’t believe his lies. It’s still uncertain whether the dicine Saint was captured and whether the foreign cultivation organizations have two rings. We should stick to our path and use these people as hostages to force the dicine Saint to co out for a eting.”
The sect leaders felt that their elders made half a valid point; perhaps this was a Blinding thod used by the dicine Saint to use their strength to deal with the two foreign cultivation organizations and thus gain both Immortal Rings.
The other half doesn’t make sense because even if they captured the disciples of the dicinal Saint Valley, it would still be difficult to force the dicine Saint to co out for a eting. In the heart of the dicine Saint, the status of the Immortal Rings is more important than anything else; if they were in his position, they would also think this way.
Therefore, this plan is fundantally unworkable, and to test the truth of what the cultivators from dicinal Saint Valley said, the only way is to let these cultivators be the cannon fodder first. When they truly dedicate their lives, sacrificing themselves in a fearless effort against the foreign cultivation organizations, the truth will finally co to light.
Thus they responded like this, “You say the dicine Saint was captured by two foreign cultivation organizations, then you go rescue your Valley Master, we won’t obstruct you!”
“Sect Leader…”
The sect elders were about to persuade further, but their respective sect leaders stopped them. Reluctantly, they had to comply with the sect leaders’ decision.
The reason they wanted to persuade was that they feared the cultivators of dicinal Saint Valley would take the opportunity to escape, and it would be hard to capture them again.
The sect leaders understood their concerns; they wouldn’t let these people escape easily, so they stopped their elders from speaking further.
On the other side, the elders of dicinal Saint Valley found themselves back at the starting point, having co full circle; all their scheming had been in vain.
Gao Ziyun had known for a long ti that this thod would not work because if he were in their position, he would also harbor such suspicions. After all, only witnessing with one’s own eyes seems credible.
As the planner of the whole strategy, Lin Yifan was slightly anxious.
Perhaps he was too naive; this group of “old hands” isn’t easy to deceive, otherwise, they wouldn’t have remained standing in the martial world for so long.
Things had developed to this point; their dicinal Saint Valley could only endure so hardship, otherwise, the grand plan would be difficult to complete. So he exclaid, “Elders, fellow brothers and sisters, let’s head to the Empire of Dongying to rescue our Valley Master!”
“Are you crazy, are we really going to send the whole valley to their death?”
“It was originally a deception, do we need to play it out for real?”
“I won’t go, even if beaten to death; if you want to go, go yourself!”
…
The elders of dicinal Saint Valley felt resistant, neither understanding nor supporting Lin Yifan’s approach.
However, in contrast to their resistance, the other disciples of dicinal Saint Valley seed much more composed; because in their hearts there was a sense of mission that compelled them to make the self-sacrificing decision to go rescue the person they most revered—the Valley Master.
Lin Yifan saw the elders’ unhappy and resistant expressions, which was a bad signal. Without the support of these people, the grand plan would be difficult to succeed.
He figured that forcing these elders to follow him into danger could only rely on the Great Elder, so he looked at the Great Elder and gave him a signal.
Gao Ziyun was indeed reluctant to follow through with this approach, but he understood Lin Yifan’s intentions, perhaps only by paying a bit of a price could they lure the sect leaders onto the hook.
After so contemplation, he ultimately decided to go along, “Alright! Let’s depart together!”
“Great… Great Elder, are we really going to contend with these two foreign cultivation organizations?”
“What? Don’t you want to rescue the Valley Master?” Gao Ziyun angrily questioned.
“But our troops are clearly insufficient!”
“Then what else can we do? Do you still expect this pack of wolves to help you?”
The “wolves” he referred to were the sects, as they had a long-standing cooperative, brotherly relationship. Now that the sects have turned their backs, it was indeed disappointing.
“Alright! Let’s set off!”
The elders of dicinal Saint Valley felt that the Great Elder might have his intentions behind his actions, so they shouldn’t resist or confront it, less they reveal a flaw and get noticed.
