Chapter 318: Alliance? Or a Trap?
Lin Shen and his group first came to Mount Shu, where Taiwu, Gangzhan, and Li Xiaoyao were all present. Lin Shen shared his speculations and plans with the three of them.
Taiwu pondered for a moment and decided to investigate further. If Lin Shen's suspicions were true, the righteous sects in the martial arts world would suffer a devastating blow.
Gang Zhan said, "If it is what Brother Anos predicted, then there will be a fight."
Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Then, my two senior brothers, shall we go to Jingzhou?"
Taiwu thought about it and said, "Okay, let's tell the situation to the leader first." After that, Taiwu went to find Dugu Jiansheng.
After about twenty minutes, Tai Wu came back and said to Lin Shen, "Brother Anos, I have told the headmaster and Master Jiu Jianxian about your guess."
Lin Shen said, "What did they say?"
"Master and Uncle-Master think it's better to investigate."
Zhao Linger asked at this time, "So...are we going to Jingzhou now?"
Lin Yueru said, "Actually, we can go now or in three days. It's all fine."
Tai Wu said, "Actually, I think we should set off now to study the situation over there."
"Okay then, let's set off now." After saying that, Lin Shen used the Yuexing technique and took a dozen people to Jingzhou.
Arriving in Jingzhou City, Zhao Linger suddenly felt something was wrong and looked very uncomfortable. Lin Shen asked, "Linger, what's wrong with you?"
"I...I feel a strong demonic aura here. A very...very strong demonic aura."
Lin Shen said, "There are too many people here, let's talk somewhere else."
They stayed in an inn, and that night, several people came to Lin Shen's room. Lin Shen was afraid of being eavesdropped, so he took everyone to the Time House.
A dozen people sat together on the ground. Zhao Linger spoke first, "Brother Anos, as soon as we entered Jingzhou City today, I felt a strong demonic aura here."
Lin Shen nodded slightly, and Li Xiaoyao said, "In other words, this alliance meeting might actually be a trap?"
Tai Wu said, "If what Miss Zhao said is true, then there is a high possibility that this is a trap."
Gang Zhan asked, "So...what should we do now?"
Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'd like to wait until Qianye shows his true colors before taking action.
After all, in the eyes of the Jianghu people, that guy is still a righteous person, and we have no evidence. It is not convenient to take direct action. "
Lin Yueru said, "If that's the case, won't many fellow jianghu people be harmed innocently?!"
Lin Shen sighed and said, "I don't want to either. But, for some things, it's better to let them actually fall once than to repeat them a hundred times."
Li Xiaoyao recalled how Lin Shen had tricked them on their previous trip, and shuddered. "I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse for the martial arts world to have run into someone like you."
Over the next two days, Lin Shen and his group stayed at home in the inn.
The others were fine, except for Anu and Liu Zhuni, who were the type to be unable to sit still.
In the past two days, Lin Shen has actually been using his observation Haki to sense the situation in Jingzhou City. As expected by everyone, many demons have sneaked into Jingzhou City.
The current Jingzhou City feels like a powder keg, just missing a spark.
The night before the meeting, Lin Shen called Qi Nongxia, Li Lingyun, Mei Shengxue, Shen Qishuang, and Liu Zhuni to his room. Shen Qishuang asked, "Master, why did you call us here?"
Lin Shen crossed his arms and said, "You should have sensed the situation in Jingzhou City in the past two days, right?"
Qi Nongxia and the other four immediately understood. Mei Shengxue said, "Yes, Master. There are at least several thousand demons coming from Jingzhou City, if not ten thousand."
Lin Shen scratched his head and said, "Although the five of you have participated in many missions to exterminate demons in the past three years, this is probably your first time in such a large-scale battle."
Li Lingyun was a little impatient and said, "Master, just say what you want to say."
Lin Shen was immediately furious. Qi Nongxia confronted Li Lingyun and sternly said, "Junior sister!"
Lin Shen coughed twice and said, "This is it. I leave the choice to you. You can choose to fight, or you can choose to protect those fellow martial artists from leaving, or even you..."
Before Lin Shen finished speaking, everyone understood that Lin Shen's old problem had come back and he wanted to handle things by himself.
Qi Nongxia immediately said, "Master, please stop talking. I know what you want to say!"
Lin Shen was immediately choked up. Shen Qishuang said, "Master, since we have come to Jingzhou, we must advance and retreat with you."
The other four also shouted in unison, "We must stand with Master!"
This cannot be blamed on Lin Shen being nervous, because Lin Shen sensed that there were also powerful monsters on this trip to Jingzhou.
He was worried that these five girls would become fragile like in the original story, and four of them would be killed in this battle.
Mei Shengxue said, "Master, please trust us."
Lin Shen covered his forehead and said helplessly, "Forget it, I am your master after all. Then the five of you must fight as a team and cannot be separated. Do you understand?"
Qi Nongxia and the other five shouted in unison, "Got it!"
On the next day, all the sects that had formed an alliance gathered on a high platform in the north of Jingzhou City. People from the Shen Family Fort, the Ouyang Family, the Xiahou Family, and the Shangguan Family were all there. In fact, people from the Huangfu Family were also there, but they were standing in the most remote corner.
After all, the last time the four great families challenged the Lin Family Castle, they angered Lin Shen with their terrible plan of sowing discord, and forced the four families to swear an oath to "no longer compete for the position of leader of the martial arts world." As a result, the other three families would not bring the Huangfu Family along to play together.
At this time, an old man wearing a cassock and with a long white beard slowly walked to the front of the stage and said, "Everyone, I am Qianye. I would like to thank Lord Shen for coming forward and organizing this alliance.
As everyone knows, ever since the Shushan Demon Locking Tower collapsed, a large number of demons have escaped, causing countless slaughters in the world. Several sects have already been wiped out.
Therefore, this alliance is to gather everyone together, unite, and fight against these demons together."
Shen Qingfeng chimed in, "With the Master leading us, we will definitely be able to fight the demons and make them pay for their blood debt with blood!"
The people below shouted in unison, "Blood debt must be paid with blood! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
Zen Master Qianye said, "Not long ago, we captured a wolf demon and used its blood to boost our alliance!"
At this time, several people escorted a creature with a human body and a wolf head onto the platform. A monk nearby said, "Dear donors, this wolf demon was captured by our master a few days ago. We shot its collarbone through and imprisoned it in a pipa lock for three days. Its power has been reduced to only one-third of what it was."
At this time, a large executioner came over with a ghost-head knife in his hand. The executioner sprayed a mouthful of wine on the ghost-head knife and raised it high above his head.
Just as the ghost-head knife was about to fall, a thick green mist enveloped the platform...
