"Isn't it good to have more villagers? We'll also get more spirit stones!"
Zhang Shifei showed disdain for Guo Yunwen's constant muttering and had already started calculating in his mind how to spend this huge sum of money later.
For each villager rescued, they would receive 2,000 spirit stones and 500 pieces of mysterious iron.
There were 24 villagers in the village, which meant each of them could get a share of the spirit stones and 4,000 pieces of mysterious iron!
This was the cost of building a medium - sized Level 3 army!
"On the premise that we can escort them back safely," Li Yuluo reminded.
"As the legend about Lu Ze goes, he acts in a strange way. We'd better be careful!"
Guo Yunwen's doubts were dispelled by the other two. He stepped forward and prepared to guide the villagers to join the team.
Just then, he received a message.
[The Wuji Sword Sect has sent you an alliance request. Do you accept?]
Guo Yunwen was a shrewd person. He immediately glanced around.
Sure enough, Chen Feng's army had just arrived nearby.
Apparently, seeing the three of them rescuing the villagers, Chen Feng wanted to get a share of the spoils.
After a brief discussion with the other two, although they were unhappy, they still decided to form an alliance with Chen Feng.
There was no other way. The anti - air combat power of the Wuji Sword Sect was too important!
Each of the four took six villagers and headed back to their respective sects.
...
...
Outside the arena.
At the elders' seats.
The elders had spent a lot of time playing "Immortal Realm Conquest" in the previous days. They were watching this match with great interest.
Although Lu Ze's operations were quite unconventional, it had to be said that they were really exciting.
"How did your Lingxiao Sect manage to cultivate such a talent? These strategies for capturing cities and territories are truly those of a genius!"
Lin Anzai grew fonder of Lu Ze the more he watched.
Whether it was the idea behind making the game or the way of operating it, both impressed him greatly.
"Humph, he's just learned a thing or two from me," Nangong Yuan said proudly, straightening his back.
"But why doesn't this kid come to snatch the village? I see that he has deployed troops in all directions... What, has his conscience finally awakened?"
Li Jiujian stroked his chin and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Maybe he thinks it's not appropriate to be too harsh on his fellow Daoists. Hahaha!"
Zhao Wendao laughed with a bit of pride.
Hearing this,
Li Moran, standing behind Elder Liu Qingmei of the Wanjian Peak, unconsciously blinked her eyes.
Just now, Zhong Yi's camera focused on the scene where Lu Ze's Blood Curse Master fought against a loose cultivator. No one knew what operations Lu Ze had carried out at his base.
However, the observant Li Moran noticed that there were several scattered black dots that flashed across the map and disappeared near the village.
Having played a game against Lu Ze, Li Moran was well aware of how underhanded his methods could be.
She was the first victim of his tricks, such as blowing up spiritual mines and stealing servants.
Not being too harsh on his fellow Daoists?
A faint smile that even she didn't notice crossed Li Moran's lips.
She probably guessed what Lu Ze was up to...
"Something's wrong!"
Lin Anzai suddenly frowned.
The pointer of the Tianxuan Divination Plate in his hand was spinning rapidly, as if indicating some result.
"This divination... Why does it show that things are a mix of truth and falsehood, so confusing? There are signs of disaster in all directions!"
...
At the same time.
Zhong Yi was still giving a passionate commentary.
"The four true disciples are being very cautious while escorting the villagers, but Junior Brother Lu is right around them! They might run into each other at any time!"
"Almost there. The villagers are almost home!!"
"Junior Brother Lu has launched an attack! Tianxuanmen is the first to engage in battle!!"
"Junior Brother Lu is too greedy! He wants to take on four parties at once, but his forces are a bit insufficient..."
"The forces of the four true disciples' families have all been mobilized! They're going to fight Junior Brother Lu to the end!"
"Junior Brother Lu launched this attack too late. The villagers have already returned home!"
"This escort mission has allowed the four major sects to regain a lot of strength!!!"
...
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhong Yi was somewhat puzzled.
He was overlooking the scene from a god's-eye view.
Clearly, Lu Ze had a strong force. Why did he wait until the four major sects were almost home before making a move?
If it were him...
Even if it cost more troops, he would have killed those villagers.
Otherwise, the righteous path would have gained too much strength!
At this moment, the battle at the gates of the four major sects' bases was extremely fierce.
Inside the sects, except for the miscellaneous disciples, there was no one else.
The barbarian warriors had escorted the villagers all the way home.
"Finally back at the sect... How are you all doing?"
Guo Yunwen let out a long sigh of relief.
He had been suppressed the most by Lu Ze. Now, he could finally catch his breath.
"I'm back too! That guy blocked me at the door. I sent all my forces out, but then he ran away!"
Zhang Shifei gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Humph! With this wave of economic replenishment, I'll assemble a team of sword immortals right away and raze his base to the ground!"
Chen Feng snorted disdainfully, his heart filled with anger.
He watched as six villagers slowly made their way towards the sect's base, feeling quite at ease.
As long as the villagers entered the sect, he would receive rewards of spiritual stones and black iron.
Suddenly...
The villager at the end of the queue, as if possessed, turned around.
Without looking back, he rushed into the martial arts training hall!
"???"
Chen Feng's eyes almost popped out.
What the hell?
Why did this villager turn?
He hadn't even reacted to what was going on.
At this time, the number of spiritual stones in the upper right corner began to change:
【+2000】
【+2000】
【+2000】
【+2000】
【-9032】
"???"
Countless question marks appeared in Chen Feng's eyes again.
He had worked so hard on this escort mission, only to end up losing more than 1000 spiritual stones?
He suddenly felt like vomiting blood.
Meanwhile, the other three true disciples let out shrill screams.
"Why did these villagers enter my martial arts training hall and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!?"
"Mine also went into the martial arts training hall!!"
"What's going on? One villager went into the martial arts training hall, and one went into the Artifact Refining Pavilion..."
"Damn it... I get it! They're undercover agents!!!"
...
...
This operation left everyone outside the arena stunned.
Zhong Yi's jaw dropped, and the commentator was almost incoherent.
"It's the Skin-Changer! It's the Skin-Changer of the demonic path!!"
"My god! Who would have thought of using undercover agents to disguise as villagers?"
"No wonder Junior Brother Lu waited until they were almost home before attacking. It was to lure the Heavenly Dogs out of their homes!"
"Junior Brother Lu... No, the Demon Lu is really too vicious! The righteous path has been completely played around like fools!!"
"All of the four major sects' special troops have been stolen by Lu Ze..."
"They're routed! The four major sects have lost this round completely!!"
...
In the elders' seats...
A group of elders stared at Lu Ze's operation with their mouths wide open in an "O" shape.
This operation...
Well, once you thought of it, it wasn't difficult. Any normal person could do it.
But the person who could come up with such a sinister plan must not be a normal person...
Who on earth would send a spy to impersonate a villager in the mortal world?
This is so despicable and shameless!
"Elder Nangong, just now you said... he learned a few moves from you?"
"Nonsense! What disciple? I, Nangong Yuan, have been single all my life. Where would I get a disciple!?"

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
