Chapter 1801: A Stroke of Good Fortune

In one day, Long Chen had slain Di Xin and Xiang Yunfei . That had shaken the continent .

During the past three days, Qu Jianying had taken a trip through the various large sects and demanded them to declare their positions .

Unfortunately, the results were the exact opposite of what she had expected . Some sects were saying that the Martial Heaven Alliance was too chaotic now, and so they were intending to leave .

The Righteous sects in the Eastern and Southern Xuan Region, in particular, were displaying great dissatisfaction with the Martial Heaven Alliance . They said that it was a dictators.h.i.+p, and the alliance was a weapon controlled by Qu Jianying and Long Chen .

Long Chen was barbaric and bloodthirsty, while Qu Jianying actually pampered him and allowed him to do as he wished . He drew enemies from all around, and if this continued, sooner or later the Martial Heaven Alliance would be torn apart .

When Qu Jianying heard them say such things, she had an urge to kill people . Just what b.a.s.t.a.r.d had started these rumors?

Most hateful of all, many sects used the banner of opposing Long Chen to threaten her . If she refused to expel Long Chen and the Xuantian Dao Sect from the Martial Heaven Alliance, they would leave instead .

Under the lead of the east and the south, the remaining regions also had tens of thousands of sects band together to criticize her .

As they spoke up, countless other sects began to sway in the wind . They didn’t say that they supported her, and they didn’t say that they were against her either .

“It’s clear that Pill Valley is up to their tricks again . No one else has such power to rally supporters . Only Pill Valley has the ability to promise those sects that leaving the alliance won’t cause them to immediately become targets of the Corrupt path . Pill Valley started laying down the foundation for their plans years ago . Their claws stretched into the interior of the Martial Heaven Alliance, and although you noticed them and eliminated them mercilessly, it seems it’s already a bit too late .

“If the great era hadn’t come, your methods most likely would have been effective, but with the great era, the hearts of the large sects are getting ambitious . The change in eras will completely change the board . The cultivation world will look completely different in the end . Hence, this is the worst era that’s filled with cruel compet.i.tions where the strong devour the weak . But it is also the best era . The small can suddenly soar and become giants . Perhaps a third-rate sect can even become a supreme sect .

“So everyone is ambitious and easily seduced by opportunities to grow stronger . Even if Pill Valley wasn’t actively seducing them, some of those fellows would still be drawn away from you . Of course, some are devoted to you and prefer stability . Those sects all have some foundation so they don’t need to take the risk of betting .

“However, there is a good saying: barefoot people aren’t afraid of people with shoes . People with nothing to lose don’t mind going all-in . So many smaller sects that have been kept underfoot, or perhaps large sects whose inheritances are about to be severed, are all willing to bet everything on this era . You don’t need to get angry with them over this . This is something that follows every great era . Which great era didn’t end with rivers of blood flowing?” comforted Long Chen .

Qu Jianying was surprised by his words . She had been focused on the fact that it had been Pill Valley sowing dissension, but she had forgotten the true main point: the people’s hearts . It was because she hadn’t understood why these people would act so foolishly that she was so angry .

“Long Chen, do you have a method to change our current predicament?” probed Qu Jianying .

“I do . ”

“Really? What is it?”

“Kill them all . ”

“Brat, you dare to toy with me?” raged Qu Jianying .

“How am I toying with you? Why is it that the Corrupt path has no traitors? Because they have terrifying punishments that are worse than death, so their people don’t dare to betray them . ” Long Chen shrugged .

“Then if we acted like this, wouldn’t we be no different from the Corrupt path? The Martial Heaven Alliance is just an alliance . As long as they don’t betray the Righteous path and seek shelter in the Corrupt path, we don’t have the right to punish them,” said Qu Jianying .

“Then I don’t have a solution . It’s their mouths, and they can say whatever they want . It’s also their brains, and you can’t control what they’re thinking . You’re just hurting yourself by getting angry” sighed Long Chen .

“Hmph, little brat, if you don’t give me an explanation about what you just said, you won’t be leaving here without a beating . I should warn you that I know all the old man’s moves as well!” Qu Jianying glared at Long Chen .
