"Because... the human heart is treacherous!" Lin Bai said with a slight smile.
Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner both looked at Lin Bai in confusion.
Lin Bai said expressionlessly, "Didn’t you hear what the Tianhua Mountain Sect Leader said just now?"
"He said that the Demon Sect has no disciple organization, no faction, all are lone operatives, all are loose cultivators!"
"They enter the Phoenix Song Area, kill whoever they see, and rob any treasures!"
Lin Bai said.
Lan Yuxin said, "But even so, the Phoenix Song Area couldn’t have collapsed like this!"
Lin Bai continued, "Lan Yuxin, don’t you understand? The Demon Sect disciples who entered the Phoenix Song Area are likely very few, while the ones born within it might be many!"
Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner exchanged glances, both looking at Lin Bai with confusion.
Lin Bai explained, "Demon Sect disciples have no organization, no title, so naturally no one knows how many Demon Sect disciples there are, nor who they are!"
"In such a vast territory as the Phoenix Song Area, there must be many families, many sects, and inevitably many conflicts among them!"
"But they hadn’t torn each other’s faces before because the Phoenix Song Area was a place of peace and prosperity!"
"Yet with the arrival of the Demon Sect, everyone is acting in self-preservation, trying to increase their strength, vying for cultivation resources!"
"And the Demon Sect’s arrival gave them a reason to go to war!"
"These families and sects, for the sake of strength and cultivation resources, began to war among themselves, plundering resources!"
Lin Bai said calmly.
Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner’s faces turned cold.
Lin Bai continued, "Perhaps there are also many warriors who wish to profit from the war under the guise of the Demon Sect; all they have to do is don black clothes and wear a bamboo hat, and they can claim to be Demon Sect disciples, going around burning, killing, and looting!"
"One warrior puts on a black robe, then a hundred others wear black robes!"
"They think they’re rely borrowing the Demon Sect’s na, but they don’t realize that once they don the black robe, they have already beco Demon Sect disciples!"
"This is the Demon Sect’s strategy!"
Lin Bai laughed coldly.
Lan Yuxin said, "Lin Bai, are you saying... that the downfall of the Phoenix Song Area is entirely due to the warriors within it killing each other?"
Lin Bai said, "The Demon Sect has its reasons too, but most of the responsibility lies in their mutual slaughter. Otherwise, do you think the Demon Sect has such great strength to bring down the Phoenix Song Area so quickly?"
Lan Yuxin angrily said, "But why would they do such a thing? Don’t they know the Demon Sect is our common enemy in the East Continent?"
Lin Bai looked at Lan Yuxin and said with a smile, "Lan Yuxin, let give you an analogy!"
"For example, if we are two warriors at the Great Perfection of the Heaven Martial Realm, and I have an Elixir Pill that can break through to the Divine Elixir Realm, you’ve coveted this pill for a long ti, but I just won’t give it!"
"But at this mont, the Demon Sect arrives, and the Phoenix Song Area is about to be destroyed, and if you could break through your cultivation to the Divine Elixir Realm, you would have a greater chance of survival!"
"At that ti, would you co to take my pill, breakthrough your cultivation, and live one more day in the Phoenix Song Area?"
Lin Bai looked at Lan Yuxin and asked seriously.
"I..." Lan Yuxin was silent for a mont.
Lin Bai laughed, "Believe , you would! In the face of life and death, no matter how good people once were, their inner demons will be unleashed!"
"And in this martial world, it has always been survival of the fittest, nothing more ordinary than this."
Lin Bai shook his head and said.
"Yet these people who flee the Phoenix Song Area shout about its revival, claiming unity, which is truly laughable!"
Lin Bai shook his head and said.
Hu Xiner said, "The laughable part is not them, but this world!"
Lin Bai, upon hearing this, turned to look at Hu Xiner and laughed, "Today you have surprised . Under such a seductive exterior, you actually have a heart."
Hu Xiner smiled slightly, ignoring whether Lin Bai was mocking her or congratulating her, she said nothing more.
The Spirit Boat swept over the land of the Phoenix Song Area.
Along the way, Lan Yuxin looked very grim.
And as for Lin Bai, having seen the wars of the martial world and having witnessed the desolation of corpses strewn everywhere, was not much moved by now.
Lin Bai walked to Lan Yuxin’s side, gently patting her shoulder, and said, "Don’t worry, we will win this war!"
Lan Yuxin bitterly smiled, "Why?"
Lin Bai said with determination, "Because we cannot afford to lose!"
Lan Yuxin looked at Lin Bai and asked seriously, "Lin Bai, have you ever seen lands where blood flows like rivers and corpses are everywhere?"
"Have you ever gone through these things?"
"Is that why you seem so composed now?"
Lan Yuxin asked curiously.
Lin Bai laughed, "Why do you think so?"
Lan Yuxin said, "I really want to know your past!"
Lin Bai gave a wry smile, with a look of recollection in his eyes, and said lightly, "Yes, I’ve indeed seen land like the tragic sight of the Phoenix Song Area today!"
"A good friend of mine, her entire family perished in that conflict!"
"Everyone died, only she survived!"
"But she didn’t give up, instead lived more diligently than anyone!"
Lin Bai said lightly.
Lin Bai thought of the Territories of all nations, thought of Lingdong, thought of Bai Xiaoxiao.
Back when the Five Poison Sect waged war, the Lingdong region was devastated, countless dynasties and warriors were killed and destroyed, and Bai Xiaoxiao’s Royal Family of the Shenwu Kingdom was massacred overnight.
Only Bai Xiaoxiao survived.
And from that mont, Bai Xiaoxiao vowed to unify everything Under Heaven!
The great battle in Lingdong back then was as dire as the tragedy in the Phoenix Song Area today!
And back then, Lin Bai also said, "We will win because we cannot afford to lose!"
Once we lose, this place will forever beco scorched earth, turning into a territory cursed by demons!
For seven days and nights, Lin Bai and the others flew over the Phoenix Song Area, encountering trouble on the way, but Lin Bai handled it with ease.
Finally, on the dawn of the eighth day, Lin Bai and the others arrived at their destination, the Storm Mountain Range!
The Storm Mountain Range is the territory of the Feng Family!
"This should be the Storm Mountain Range, but why does it not look like it?"
Lan Yuxin stood on the Spirit Boat at this mont, looking at the land ahead.
In front of Lin Bai was only a barren-looking mountain range, nothing like the Feng Family’s territory, the top family of the Phoenix Song Area.
Lin Bai also found it strange; after a mont of contemplation, he said, "It’s the Formation!"
