Chapter 21

Even if he adopted the tactics of Song Qingshu, concentrating superior forces to reinforce the Kunlun Sect, which was on the verge of victory, and then defeat the other two Wuxing Flags one by one, Zhang Wujie was no longer around, and the plot had undergone significant changes. Who could stop Yin Yewang from launching a full-scale attack?

For the first time, Lin Qing felt the immense difficulty of defying the heavens.

Opposing Zhang Wujie and altering the plot had brought about changes in the plot and a sharp increase in difficulty!

But Lin Qing had no regrets.

His "Rebellious Tyrant" attribute and the three shattered ring tasks were inherently about defying the heavens. If he didn't reverse the plot, there would be no hope at all!

He gazed into the distance.

He saw a man in a white robe, holding a folding fan, with a small black eagle embroidered on the left side of his robe, its wings spread. The robes of the Heaven Eagle Sect and the Ming Sect were both white, but the Ming Sect robes had a red flame embroidered on them, while the Heaven Eagle Sect had a black eagle. This man had the eyes of an eagle and the gaze of a wolf, looking down on the battlefield with eyes like cold lightning, his presence intimidating.

Lin Qing squinted his eyes.

He already knew that this was the son of the White Eyebrow Eagle King of the Heaven Eagle Sect, the Hall Master of the Tianwei Hall, Yin Yewang.

This man, in terms of ambition and strength, was no less than the White Eyebrow Eagle King. Some said he surpassed his father, but his actions were evil, and he was quick to kill, making him a true hero of his generation.

Seemingly sensing someone in this direction, Yin Yewang stopped fanning himself, put the fan away, and raised his chin, looking here with a cold, lightning-like gaze.

At this moment, Lin Qing saw extreme coldness and confidence in his eyes.

He estimated the situation and sighed.

"Without Zhang Wujie, the possibility of Yin Yewang joining the battle is almost certain. This is going to be troublesome."

As if to confirm Lin Qing's thoughts, Yin Yewang burst into laughter and leaped up.

In mid-air, he rapidly approached, clearly possessing extremely high martial arts skills, and in an instant, he was in front of the Emei Sect.

Just this superlative lightness skill alone was enough to make everyone on the battlefield look on in shock and amazement.

Yin Yewang landed in front of Master Miaojue, unfolded his fan, and coldly laughed, "Master Miaojue! Hero Yin! I am Yin Yewang, and I have been waiting for a long time. You have come just in time. How about a bet?"

Master Miaojue was furious and coldly said, "So you are the notorious Heaven Eagle Sect villain Yin Yewang. What do you want to bet?"

Yin Yewang arrogantly sneered, "Your lives!"

In his cold tone, the lives of the Ming Sect members were not even worth considering, as if he was watching ants fight or crickets battle.

Master Miaojue coldly laughed, "You have a big mouth, like a toad yawning!"

She raised her eyebrows, and without a word, she was ready to attack.

Yin Yewang shrugged indifferently, "Master, don't think I'm bluffing. Look!"

Yin Yewang suddenly waved a command flag and shouted, "Reveal yourselves!"

Suddenly, on the sand dunes behind the Emei Sect, countless heads appeared, each holding a shield and a strong bow, with rows of arrows pointing at everyone. It turned out that the Heaven Eagle Sect members had dug tunnels in the sand and surrounded everyone, taking advantage of the surrounding terrain. These archers had poisoned arrows, which glinted with a deadly blue light in the sunlight.

In an instant, the Wudang and Emei Sects, who were supposed to be reinforcements, found themselves in a desperate situation, surrounded by the Heaven Eagle Sect!

Master Miaojue and Yin Liting's faces changed dramatically.

It was well-known that Yin Yewang governed his followers with military discipline, and if he ordered a full-scale attack with poisoned arrows, only the two of them might survive, while the rest would surely perish.

The Emei Sect women realized the impending disaster and their faces changed.

Madam Li couldn't help but hide behind Lin Qing.

This world was full of danger, and it was a severe test for her.

Lin Qing, however, remained calm, his eyes darting around, his mind racing to think of a way to break through and resolve the situation.

Although his time in this world was not long, he had some guesses about the nature of this mysterious world.

It seemed that the purpose of this plot world was to train and test adventurers, not to kill them. Therefore, every task and test was designed with the adventurer's maximum endurance in mind.

In other words, as long as you were willing to think and tap into every bit of potential, there was always a way out.

"Yin Yewang, what do you want to bet?" Master Miaojue coldly asked.

When you are under someone's thumb, you have to bow, even if you are as proud as Master Miaojue. She couldn't ignore the lives of so many Emei Sect disciples. Otherwise, even if she killed all the Heaven Eagle Sect members afterward, she would be left alone.

Yin Yewang laughed maniacally, "I bet on the outcome of the battle between the Wuxing Flags and the three sects! What do you say?"

Master Miaojue coldly replied, "Although I detest the evil sect members, I still consider them honorable. You, however, are so treacherous and cruel, using your friends as pawns. It's disgusting!"

Yin Yewang sneered, "The Wuxing Flags have deep conflicts with my father over the leadership of the Ming Sect. Why should I help them? If I want to help, I will. If I don't, why not take advantage of their situation? Master, do you want to bet? It's up to you!"

"How do we bet?"

"If the Wuxing Flags win, I will order the Heaven Eagle Sect to attack with all our might, and we will bury you, along with the Kunlun, Huashan, and Wudang Sects, with a thousand arrows!"

Yin Yewang's voice was like that of a wolf, making everyone shudder.

"What if the three sects win?"

"The Heaven Eagle Sect will immediately retreat, and this battle will be considered a victory for the Emei Sect." Yin Yewang said indifferently.

Everyone was silent.

Yin Yewang clearly had the upper hand, yet he was doing this to toy with them. Even if the three sects won, it was questionable whether he would keep his word.

But they had no choice but to bet.

Yin Yewang laughed, finding the situation amusing. He gathered his inner strength and shouted to the battlefield, "Kunlun, Huashan, and Wudang Sects, and the Ruijin, Hongshui, and Li Huo Flags, listen up! I, Yin Yewang, am betting on your battle, and I have set the odds with Master Miaojue! Whoever loses will die. Fight to the death! Ha ha!"

Below, the Kunlun, Huashan, and Wudang Sects, and the Ruijin, Hongshui, and Li Huo Flags, under the threat of Yin Yewang's poisoned arrows, could only roar and fight fiercely.

The battle became even more intense, with warriors from both sides dying and their blood staining the sand.

"Are we just going to stand here and watch?" Lin Qing suddenly said, "This is boring."

"How do you want to play?" Yin Yewang's deep gaze fell on Lin Qing.

"This kind of bet is too boring. How about each side sends one person to help in the battle? But only one person."

Lin Qing said provocatively, without fear.

"Boy," Yin Yewang's eyebrows raised, feeling uncomfortable.

This boy's gaze was bold and seemed to see through his heart. Despite having mobilized a large army and controlling the situation, this boy seemed to completely ignore it, his aggressive gaze scrutinizing him.

Yin Yewang felt a surge of anger and coldly laughed, "Do you want to die?"

Lin Qing calmly replied, "Not at all. Among our side, the strongest and most respected is Master Miaojue. Please have Master Miaojue help the Kunlun Sect to defeat the evil sect."

Master Miaojue stood up, her sword drawn, the Yitian Sword in hand, and coldly said, "Qingshu, your words resonate with me. This time, I will fight to the end!"

As Lin Qing's favorability increased, Master Miaojue's address to him changed from Song Qingshu to Song Shaoxia, and now directly to his name.

Lin Qing secretly shed tears.

Damn, what have I been doing all this time? Failed to charm Zhou Zhiruo, but Master Miaojue's favorability is off the charts?

Yin Yewang was initially surprised, thinking this boy dared to challenge him and must have a good reason, but he didn't expect him to send Master Miaojue. He wasn't underestimating Master Miaojue's sword skills, given the Emei Sect's long history and the Yitian Sword, but he wasn't just a pushover either.

Yin Yewang coldly laughed, bowed, and said, "If that's the case, I will accompany Master Miaojue to the battlefield."

Lin Qing stood on the cliff, watching the battle below, his expression unchanged.

He didn't have Song Qingshu's on-the-spot command ability or knowledge of the Eight Trigrams and formations. He couldn't orchestrate the battle like Song Qingshu.

But Lin Qing had his own solution.

He gave Master Miaojue instructions, suggesting she first help the strongest Kunlun Sect couple, He Taichong, to defeat the Ruijin Flag, then join forces with He Taichong to crush the Hongshui and Li Huo Flags.

Master Miaojue, like a fierce tiger, wielded her sword with unmatched skill. No member of the Ming Sect could withstand her three strikes. She moved through the crowd, stabbing and slashing, and in an instant, seven members of the Ming Sect were dead.

The flag leader Zhuang Zheng, wielding a heavy wolf-tooth club, roared and charged forward. Despite his rough appearance, his cultivation had reached the pinnacle, and his club moved like a living thing, knocking down five members of the Kunlun Sect. However, Master Miaojue met him head-on, using the Yitian Sword to cut through both the club and his head in one strike!

This single strike was so powerful that it stunned the entire battlefield.

Master Miaojue continued her relentless attack, cutting through the weapons of the remaining members of the Ruijin Flag. He Taichong and other Kunlun Sect experts took advantage of the situation to kill the remaining members of the Ruijin Flag.

In a short time, over a hundred strong members of the Ruijin Flag were brutally killed by Master Miaojue, who dominated the battlefield like a tiger among sheep.

Master Miaojue, with her strength, changed the entire battle.

But on the other side, the Huashan Sect was also being overwhelmed.

Yin Yewang had joined the battle.

He moved like a giant black bat, spreading fear and death among the Huashan Sect. His palm techniques were powerful and precise, and wherever he went, Huashan Sect experts were left with broken bones and flying bodies. However, strangely, it seemed that Yin Yewang had deep conflicts with the Wuxing Flags. The Li Huo Flag, which was supposed to support the Huashan Sect, actually abandoned them and went to support the Ruijin Flag when they saw the Ruijin Flag in trouble.

This made Yin Yewang extremely displeased, and he let out a series of whistles.

"Trouble!" Lin Qing, watching from above, frowned.
