110: counterattack

Although the Zhou Tian Blood Refining Array had been exposed, information regarding the yin yang harmony fruit hadn't leaked at all.

It seemed the higher-ups of both the Demon Slaying Alliance and the Evil Cultivator Alliance had reached a tacit understanding to keep this news hidden.

"So, how did the Demon Slaying Alliance respond?"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Daobai couldn't help but wonder how the Demon Slaying Alliance would break this overt scheme.

Hearing this, Mu Lingxi paused before speaking, "The Demon Slaying Alliance just issued a mobilization order to launch an offensive against the various Evil Path Sects in the Yinyue Mountain Range."

"They plan to ignore the evil cultivators within the Zhou Tian Blood Refining Array for now and instead attack the headquarters of the various evil cultivator Sects in the Yinyue Mountain Range to destroy them."

"I suspect the Demon Slaying Alliance intends to use this method to draw those evil cultivators out of the Zhou Tian Blood Refining Array!"

Mu Lingxi's voice was filled with confidence, as if she had already seen through the Demon Slaying Alliance's plan.

Listening to Mu Lingxi, Zhang Daobai thought about it and felt it made sense.

The headquarters of the evil cultivator Sects in the Yinyue Mountain Range had all been developed over hundreds of years; they were essentially the homes of those evil cultivators.

If the Demon Slaying Alliance chose to pivot and attack those Evil Path Sect headquarters, he wasn't sure about other evil cultivators, but those belonging to the Yinyue Mountain Range might actually fall for it.

Mu Lingxi continued, "Following the Demon Slaying Alliance's mobilization order, Thousand Star Island also issued a mission, inviting Loose Cultivators at large to head to the Yinyue Mountain Range and join the attack on the evil cultivator Sects."

"And they promised that participants only need to hand over forty percent of the resources they seize."

"Hand over forty percent?"

This percentage was quite generous, considering the main force attacking the evil cultivator Sects was the Demon Slaying Alliance.

They were the ones breaking the Sect-protecting Formations, intercepting the powerful evil cultivators, and dealing with the main enemy forces.

In contrast, even if Loose Cultivators like them participated, they would likely be assigned less dangerous tasks like scouting, thoroughly looting the Sect grounds, or mopping up remnants.

So while handing over forty percent of the gains might sound unfair, it really wasn't much.

However, Zhang Daobai didn't care much for this mission because even if he went, he would at most be looting the outskirts.

Truly valuable locations, such as high-grade spiritual fields, treasure pavilions, and libraries, would definitely be controlled by the Demon Slaying Alliance.

Even with Shadow as an assistant, Zhang Daobai didn't dare to act lightly.

After all, within the Demon Slaying Alliance was the Taixu Sect, which focused on Spatial Power.

If he were discovered, it would be easy for people to deduce the true identity of Yue Liuli's killer and the mastermind who framed the Taixu Sect, leading to Empress Yin slaying many of their Disciples and Elders.

So after careful consideration, Zhang Daobai didn't plan to join the fray at the evil cultivator Sects.

Not only were the gains small, but the risk of exposure was also very high.

Zhang Daobai could imagine the kind of pursuit he would face if he were exposed in the Yinyue Mountain Range as the true killer of Yue Liuli.

If it really came to that, Zhang Daobai would have no choice but to hide inside the void realm suppressing pagoda for a year or two before he could possibly escape.

Seeing Zhang Daobai's pensive look, Mu Lingxi thought he was tempted by the mission and quickly said, "Brother Daobai, you aren't planning on going, are you?"

Mu Lingxi's face was full of worry; this mission was different from all the previous ones.

It required going deep into the Yinyue Mountain Range and entering the heart of various evil cultivator Sects. The danger level was skyrocketing; a single misstep could lead to being surrounded by evil cultivators.

"No, although my strength is decent, it amounts to nothing on the battlefield of the Yinyue Mountain Range. I have some self-awareness."

Zhang Daobai saw Mu Lingxi's worried gaze, then snapped back to reality and said with a self-deprecating smile.

Hearing this, Mu Lingxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Since childhood, she had traveled everywhere with Mu Yuruo and had never made a single friend.

And Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue were the first and second friends of her life.

So Mu Lingxi truly didn't want anything to happen to Zhang Daobai or Lin Luoxue.
