Chapter 355: A Show of Unity and Discord

Sage Huo Yun spoke gently, showing no grief over his subordinates’ deaths. He held their alchemy pills with a faint smile.

Bi Hao’s eyes narrowed. Five complete alchemy pills lay before him. His plan required sufficient alchemy pills, preferably intact ones, to forcibly boost Su Ling’s cultivation level through empowerment rituals, enabling her to withstand the heavenly tribulation.

But killing Golden Core experts was difficult enough – obtaining their intact alchemy pills even more so. Golden Core cultivators would drain their pills’ power in final resistance, leaving useless husks. In true desperation, they’d self-destruct their pills entirely.

Bi Hao had planned to gradually scheme for intact pills through secret techniques. Now five perfect specimens lay within reach – if they could defeat Sage Huo Yun. Moreover, the sage had addressed the whole crowd, not just Bi Hao. United action might overwhelm even a seventh-level Golden Core expert.

Bi Hao glared coldly before roaring suddenly.

"Fellow Jin Kingdom cultivators! Since this Xuan Yuan Sect madman dares provoke us, let’s join forces to eliminate him! The five alchemy pills shall be distributed to our sects’ elite disciples, strengthening our nation’s Golden Core experts!"

Truthfully, most already coveted the pills. Smaller sects merely lacked courage to speak. Bi Hao’s declaration removed all hesitation.

"Righteous words! Sage Huo Yun murdered Elder Yin and Sect Master Sun! His underlings slaughtered dozens of our elites – this demands blood repayment!"

"Today decides our cultivation world’s survival! Traitors won’t be tolerated!"

"What’s a seventh-level Golden Core? Does strength justify butchering innocents? Stealing our maidens?"

"Su Ling’s Demon Race Bloodline concerns Jin Kingdom alone! Hand over the pills and beg forgiveness, Xuan Yuan dog!"

"Mercy remains possible for true repentance!"

The crowd’s furious shouts painted them as noble avengers.

Ye Yun and Su Hao watched Bi Hao with cold disdain.

"Senior Bi," a sly voice interrupted, "how exactly will these pills be divided? Do minor sects get equal shares?"

The righteous clamor died instantly. All eyes turned to Bi Hao.

Kill Sage Huo Yun? Only fools would try. Seventh-level Golden Core experts could murder Foundation Establishment cultivators with a glance. Let the Golden Core experts handle that. The real question was pill distribution – would Bi Hao keep his promise of equal access?

Bi Hao scanned the crowd. "Naturally, these criminals’ pills belong to all Jin sects. Every present faction may study their Golden Core power and mysteries."

"Such magnanimity! Senior Bi’s sixth-level cultivation surely approaches seventh-level tribulation! Soon he’ll achieve pill-has-broken rebirth as our millennium’s first Nascent Soul ancestor!"

"Nascent Soul requires such virtue! Senior’s oceanic compassion guides our cultivation world!"

"Jin Kingdom prospers under Senior Bi’s protection!"

"Henceforth, none shall oppose Senior Bi’s leadership!"

Sycophantic praises flooded the square.

Ye Yun noticed Sage Huo Yun’s silent mockery – as if watching ants plot to devour an elephant.

"Master," Ye Yun mentally asked the Ancestor of the Sword Path, "how vast is seventh versus sixth-level Golden Core’s gap?"

"Sky versus mud! Leave now! That Xuan Yuan whelp’s seventh-level tribulation-purified true qi transcends Bi Hao’s reach. United resistance would still mean slaughter."

Ye Yun paled. Retreating to Elder Seven and Su Hao, he whispered: "We should take Ling’er and Aunt Xuan away. This could be Heavenly Sword Sect’s doom."

The elders frowned. "We understand the danger," Elder Seven sighed. "But Ling’er’s the conflict’s core. Neither Bi Hao nor Huo Yun will release her. Bi Hao’s schemes…"

"What schemes?" Su Hao demanded.

"He plans to use Ling’er through Li Dai Tao Jiang method to survive his tribulation," Ye Yun interjected.

Su Hao’s face darkened. "Our sect elder would do this?!"

Elder Seven explained coldly: "Sixth-level experts either use tribulation-breaking pills or substitutes of different races with similar cultivation. Hence Bi Hao needs pills to forcibly elevate Ling’er."

A gentle voice interrupted – Shui Qingxuan approaching. "Through secret techniques, he’d make her Golden Core temporary sacrifice."

Su Hao gripped his wife’s hand, worry and fury warring.

Shui Qingxuan gazed calmly at Bi Hao. "Let’s test this Li Dai Tao Jiang method’s efficacy." Her soft voice carried icy anger.
