115: Chapter 115 Unable to Distinguish Between Friend and Foe
"Understood!" Everyone nodded one after another.
The current situation was that it was completely impossible to distinguish between the enemy and our own side.
You might think the person walking toward you was a Senior Brother from the Alliance, but in the next second, he might pull out a Battle Puppet to stab you in the back.
Because of this insidious "undercover" tactic, the Disciples of several Sects had already been completely wiped out!
...
On the other side of Wanling Mountain, on several thousand-foot Flying Vessels belonging to Tiansha Valley, a group of Elders also had faces as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"These hypocrites! Truly despicable and shameless! I never expected them to use such low-handed methods to deal with my Tiansha Valley Disciples!"
"Grand Elder, please calm your anger. In any case, we have already issued an order for all Disciples to take off their Tiansha Valley attire and put on the clothing of the Righteous Alliance!"
Once these words were spoken, the corners of the mouths of the surrounding Elders couldn't help but twitch.
"Are you certain that it was the Righteous Alliance that started this camouflage game and initiated the dog-eat-dog scenario?"
"Absolutely certain!" that Elder said decisively.
"Our fifty Disciples who went missing at the beginning—we later sent people to investigate in many ways and learned that someone had impersonated our Tiansha Valley Disciples to lure them into a trap!"
"I fear they are already in grave danger now!"
"Good, good, good! Since they don't follow the rules, then we have no need to be polite either!"
"Pass on my order! Let those 'Blood Fiend' Core Disciples enter! Remember, tell them not to have any more reservations, let loose, and kill for me!"
...
Soon, the Righteous Alliance received news of heavy losses among their Disciples.
After an investigation, they were horrified to discover that the Devil Heads of Tiansha Valley were actually disregarding martial ethics and had dispatched their Core Disciples!
The so-called Core Disciples were all one-in-a-ten-thousand High Grade Spiritual Root talents, the future pillars of every major Sect, and true pride of the heavens.
Generally, such Disciples were protected by their Sects like the apples of their eyes, for fear that they might suffer even the slightest injury; they would never be allowed to participate in this kind of low-end meat grinder.
Losing even one would be enough to make any Sect ache for quite a while.
"Good, good, good!" Envoy Zhang heard this and laughed instead of getting angry, "Since they of Tiansha Valley dare to send out their precious treasures, then we shall make sure they never return!"
Everyone nodded one after another, excitement flashing in their eyes.
If they could take this opportunity to wipe out several hundred Tiansha Valley Core Disciples, then in a few hundred years, Tiansha Valley would inevitably suffer a lack of successors, and dealing with them then would be much easier!
Envoy Zhang immediately ordered: "Immediately notify those Core Disciples who are currently searching for Spirit Medicine within Wanling Mountain and have them come out to help!"
"In addition, notify the various major Sects nearby to mobilize another batch of Core Disciples to come over!"
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately pulled out their communication talismans, instructing their respective Sects to use their fastest Flying Vessels to rush the Core Disciples over.
...
At this moment, Chun Xiaobai and his three companions were huddled by a river, feeling listless.
Because they were unemployed.
Now, every time they went out, regardless of which side they encountered, they would be chased all over the mountain.
In the entire Wanling Mountain, there was no longer any credit to speak of.
Truth and falsehood were so intertwined that it was impossible to tell who was friend and who was foe.
Most importantly, Xiao Zhang's art of bamboozling and Fang Yuan's smoothness had completely lost their effectiveness on this chaotic land.
Moreover, it was only fun to rob in groups; going one-on-one like this now was completely boring.
This made Chun Xiaobai feel like he was eating a dish without salt—insipid and flavorless.
Bai Jiner rested her chin on her hand, squatting beside Chun Xiaobai, blinking her large, watery eyes as she whispered to comfort him.
"King, why don't we just forget it? Let's find a place to rest for a few days and come back when there's an opportunity."
"Go away!" Chun Xiaobai barked irritably.
He found that this little girl was always a bit of a killjoy at critical moments.
Bai Jiner pouted aggrievedly.
"With everyone on this mountain guarding against one another, how are we supposed to rob anyone!"
Fang Yuan was also sitting to the side, looking dejected, racking his brains but unable to come up with any good ideas.
Just at this moment, a flash of inspiration struck Chun Xiaobai's mind.
That's not right!
When they entered earlier, didn't they run into Qin Ruoxue, who was on the list of beauties?
How come they hadn't heard a single bit of news about her along the way?
He immediately asked.
Fang Yuan answered immediately: "King, there is something you do not know."
"Like Qin Ruoxue, that kind of proud daughter of heaven, ordinary Sects would not send her to participate in such a mission."
"Even if there is one, it is mostly not to purge the devils, but likely because there is something in this Wanling Mountain that they urgently need, coming specifically for the Spirit Medicine."
He paused and added: "After all, this Wanling Mountain is the territory of Tiansha Valley, and many Spirit Medicines inside are local specialties that do not exist in the outside world."
Chun Xiaobai understood instantly!
No wonder he hadn't encountered a single decent opponent; it turned out they weren't here to fight and kill at all!
At this, a new idea suddenly formed in Chun Xiaobai's mind.
That's right! Kidnapping!
Robbery was outdated; it had high risks and low returns.
These Core Disciples were all precious treasures of their Sects. As long as he kidnapped them, wouldn't they give him as many Spirit Stones as he wanted?
The more Chun Xiaobai thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and a bold plan quickly took shape in his mind.
He beckoned to Fang Yuan and the other two, and they immediately leaned in.
After some whispering.
"What?! Kidnap those Core Disciples?"
When Xiao Zhang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
"Slap!"
Chun Xiaobai slapped him on the forehead, "What are you getting excited about?"
"Nothing! Nothing!" Xiao Zhang rubbed his head and shook it quickly.
Fang Yuan's eyes rolled, and he leaned in with a smile: "King, I have heard that Qin Ruoxue is not only a great beauty on the list of beauties, but her background is also quite extraordinary!"
"If we could make her join our Black Wind Stronghold..."
Bai Jiner glanced at him and snorted, "Hmph, men."
Chun Xiaobai slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Fang Yuan's body, which was equally thick from top to bottom.
Must say, this fatty's adaptability was truly damn strong; he had so quickly and wholeheartedly thrown himself into the cause of his Black Wind Stronghold, and had even started proactively offering strategies for the development and growth of the stronghold.
Chun Xiaobai pondered for a moment; this wasn't impossible.
However, whether she could join or not wasn't up to him alone.
Joining his Black Wind Stronghold didn't require a background or talent, but one's character had to pass the test, and one had to have the grand dream of robbing the whole world.
However, Bai Jiner, who was on the side, felt a strange thud in her heart when she saw that Chun Xiaobai was actually starting to consider it.
She hadn't seen that Qin Ruoxue in person, but she had seen her portrait several times.
Although her own beauty did not lose to hers, in terms of figure...
"Oh my! Why am I thinking about this!" Bai Jiner's pretty face suddenly flushed red, and she scolded herself for having wild thoughts.
This scene happened to be caught by Chun Xiaobai.
"Third Leader, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
