Chapter 38

Once again, the third watch erupted, begging for everyone's support!

Li Meilin walked at the back, looking at Lin Qing's face but finding no trace of dejection.

"Why did you do that?"

Li Meilin frowned and said, "With your reputation, even if you did nothing for the remaining world time, you would still receive a substantial reward."

Lin Qing smiled bitterly.

How could he tell Li Meilin that his rebellious and ambitious nature forced him to do something grand and earth-shattering?

Without a grand vision and a grand spirit, daring to change the world, he would only be eliminated.

He couldn't just be a wealthy man.

Li Meilin, seeing Lin Qing's calmness, smiled gently and said, "However, I think you were quite heroic just now, standing up to the six major sect leaders, like a lone清醒者 in a world of drunkards. So cool!"

After saying this in a low voice, the charming woman blushed and quickly walked out.

Lin Qing lowered his head and saw Song Yuanqiao's iron-gray face.

"Oh no."

Sure enough, Song Yuanqiao roared at "Song Qingshu" Lin Qing for two hours before finally letting him go under the persuasion of Yin Liting.

He had no choice; Lin Qing had already spoken, and his reputation had plummeted to the bottom. Could it be recovered?

Song Yuanqiao, panting heavily, said, "This is all your own doing. You must seek your own fortune."

Yin Liting followed Lin Qing to the door, frowned, and said, "You were indeed rash. How could you single-handedly obstruct the decision of the six major sects? What do you plan to do next?"

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "I haven't decided yet. We'll see. I can't let so many people go to their deaths."

Yin Liting nodded and said, "We brothers understand. Overconfidence leads to defeat, and you are right. But now it can only depend on you."

Although Lin Qing said he had no way, he had already planned his move. Before proposing to use reputation to forcibly change the six major sects' attack plan, he had already thought of how to resolve it!

These three days were the key to reversing the plot!

With his keen intuition, Lin Qing judged that the Hong Gang, knowing the plot, must have a way to set a deadly trap for the Ming Jiao on Bright Peak, luring the six major sects to their doom!

It was no longer the six major sects besieging Bright Peak, but a major plot reversal.

Bright Peak would become a slaughter ground for the Ming Jiao against the six major sects!

How to reverse it?

Lin Qing himself was just an ordinary person with average combat skills. Even if he had martial arts, he couldn't change such a grand battle on his own.

His eyes flickered.

He already had a plan.

Lin Qing raised his head and looked at the misty Bright Peak in the distance.

"Hong Gang, your planning department has been very successful, and your execution has been very effective. But unfortunately, you overlooked one point: I, as a newcomer, have come to this world. This world can no longer be at your command!"

As Lin Qing gazed at Bright Peak, on Bright Peak, seven people were also gazing at the distant camps of the six major sects.

The powerful and sinister middle-aged man, with eagle-like eyes and a wolf-like gaze, looked down on the distant camps with arrogance.

His eyes, however, flickered with greed, as if he was not looking at the six major sects that intimidated the martial world, but at piles of precious equipment, items, manuals, and supply points.

"Boss Gang!"

The bespectacled man "Gouzi" flattered, "Our plan is progressing very smoothly. Our relationship with Zhang Wuji has already increased to 80 points, reaching intimacy. He even gave us the map of the secret passage on Bright Peak."

"With this map, we still need to explore it," the boss sighed. "We need to achieve 5% exploration of the inner world to satisfy the Hong Gang leaders."

"But this secret realm instance is very difficult," Gouzi said fearfully. "Although the gang has given us a lot of high-level equipment, if we really go in, what will be inside? The manual for the 'Nine Heavens Shift' was already obtained by Zhang Wuji, right?"

"What do you know?" the boss sneered. "From the unlocked inner world instances of the gang, the difficulty of the secret realm instances is roughly one level higher than the average of this world. We are at the D-level Chief difficulty, meaning the difficulty of the secret passage on Bright Peak is approximately C- General difficulty. But we have seven people, so we can attempt to challenge this instance."

"As for the instance rewards, you don't need to worry," the boss greedily licked his lips. "The plot characters do not affect the instance rewards. Don't forget, the Red Flower Stick Team Three once obtained two C-level items and one C-level manual from a D-level inner world instance! After returning, each member received over a thousand supply points. Gouzi, wasn't your girlfriend at the Red Sleeve Bar seduced by the deputy leader of Team Three?"

Behind Gouzi's glasses, a flash of venomous light appeared: "Of course! That bastard! With supply points, he seduced my girlfriend!"

"This time, our harvest will be even greater than expected!" the boss laughed wildly. "Just this Bright Peak instance alone, I dare say, will produce at least three C-level items. Maybe more. Not to mention the possibility of killing the plot characters of the six major sects. Even if we take the final blow, we will all become rich!"

"To be honest," Gouzi sighed, "I didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly. Since it's so easy, Boss Gang, why don't we..."

His eyes flickered with greed, and he licked his lips. "Why don't we take the loot and run far away?"

The boss glanced at the five people behind him. They were all his trusted subordinates, having experienced several worlds, and their faces were all filled with greed.

"Let's talk about this later," the boss said indifferently. "But don't think this job is so easy. The gang has spent no less than ten thousand supply points for this mission!"

"How is that possible?" Gouzi didn't believe it.

"Do you think Zhang Wuji is so easy to persuade?" the boss sneered. "The two C-level one-time use 'Charm Potions' given to me by the gang leaders are worth over 3,000 supply points. The 'Persuasion Scroll' used to convince Yang Xiao is worth 2,000. We also sent three teams to this world to scout and prepare. To quickly increase Zhang Wuji's favor and the Ming Jiao's reputation, how many people did experiments? How much manpower and resources were spent? Let me tell you, every step of our Red Flower Team Five is the result of countless meetings and verifications by the planning and scouting departments."

Everyone fell silent.

"So, the Hong Gang has invested so much, waiting for our harvest. If we run away with the loot, do you think the leaders will let it go?"

The boss sighed. "Even if we want to be greedy, we can only negotiate to increase the reward pool, not take it all. Otherwise, we will have the means to earn but not to spend!"

A glint of cunning appeared in his sinister eyes as he looked at the people behind him.

Everyone bowed their heads in agreement.

The bespectacled man Gouzi, who suggested running away with the loot, also lowered his head, his eyes flickering with thought.

"Alright. Let's talk about the real matter," the boss said frankly. "Our top priority is to make a big profit from the Ming Jiao's annihilation of the six major sects. How is the Ming Jiao preparing?"

"Everything is ready!" Gouzi raised his head and grinned. "Yang Xiao, White-Browed Eagle King, the Five Scattered Men, and the Five Elements Flags are all sharpening their weapons. These six major sects, so foolish, don't even realize they have one foot in the grave, still thinking they can destroy the Ming Jiao as in the plot?"

"What about the Green-Winged Bat King?"

"According to our advice, Zhang Wuji is using Hu Qingniu's medical skills to treat him. By tomorrow, the Green-Winged Bat King will recover 70% of his strength. Hehe," Gouzi sneered. "With the Bat King and Eagle King working together, plus the united Five Scattered Men and Five Elements Flags, and a hidden elite force of the Sky Eagle Sect, the six major sects will have no chance of escape!"

"Let them come in and fight!" the boss said with a cold gaze. "According to the planning department's plan, we will deliberately open the seven peaks and thirteen cliffs of Bright Peak, making the six major sects even more arrogant. After they rush up Bright Peak, we will cut off their retreat. A real trap!"

"Brilliant plan, Boss Gang!" Gouzi's eyes lit up. "This plan is truly vicious! None of the six major sects will survive!"

"The only thing that troubles me is that our attempt to make Zhang Wuji the leader of the Ming Jiao failed," the boss's deep eyes narrowed. "Zhang Wuji is such a weak character, saying he can't compete with Yang Xiao and letting Yang Xiao continue to lead the Ming Jiao. What a waste!"

"We can't blame Zhang Wuji entirely," Gouzi said helplessly. "Due to our interference, the plot has deviated. Cheng Kun was driven away, and the Ming Jiao members did not experience life and death together, so they are still divided. Zhang Wuji is just an outsider on Bright Peak, and his reputation is not high enough to become the leader, which is normal."

"Fortunately, the six major sects are stupid enough. As long as the Ming Jiao appears united on the surface, they can still be wiped out!" the boss laughed coldly.

Gouzi also laughed along. "Boss Gang, when will we enter the secret passage on Bright Peak to clear the instance? We need to achieve 5% exploration of the inner world."

"It's ours eventually, no rush. We'll talk about it after the battle on Bright Peak," the boss snorted. "By the way, did you keep an eye on that Yang Buhui girl as I asked?"

"Of course," Gouzi licked his lips, his face lecherous. "That little girl, though young, is quite appealing. If it weren't for her father Yang Xiao, I would have already taken her."

"Waste!" the boss said coldly. "Didn't you notice that she is always secretly watching us?"

"Watching us? Why?" Gouzi and the others were surprised. "We are just minor characters in the plot."

"Exactly," the boss sneered. "Why would the daughter of the leader of Bright Peak, a young lady, be so interested in a few rough men from the martial world?"

"Are you saying... she has a secret?"

"Although her appearance has changed, I don't think she is a plot character," the boss said with a sinister look. "Keep a close eye on her. Don't forget there are also three new players, one male and two female."

"Got it!" Gouzi's eyes lit up when he heard that Yang Buhui might be a female player, and he nodded quickly.
