If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 279 Calculation
After explaining his plan and various details, Li Lin left the barracks late at night, changed into the clothes of an ancient monk in the Fake Dan period in an empty corner, and came to Sui Han Island in Meizhou according to the secret letter in the storage bag.

Sui Han Island is one of the islands in Meizhou. Entrenched on Sui Han Island is the Sui Han Sect, a third-rate orthodox sect. The ancestor of Sui Han has been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for many years.

Suihan Island is so huge that it is more like a continent than an island. It is the most populous place in Meizhou.

However, the Sui Han Sect's limited power meant it couldn't possibly take on such a vast expanse of land and population. Yet, the Sui Han Sect was unwilling to cede this lucrative territory to a third-rate righteous sect. Therefore, the Sui Han Sect adopted the Taoist method of operation, allowing its elders to disperse and form new sects. Both righteous and demonic sects managed to cover the entire Sui Han Island.

As a result, the Sui Han Sect's overall strength was dispersed. To maintain the sect's influence, they deliberately spread their cultivation methods, prompting the emergence of gangs led by cultivators in various places, and among those gangs, there was a shadow of the Sui Han Sect.

Li Lin, disguised as a fake Dan cultivator, first found a Luan Dao Gang headed by a demon cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation building according to the information in the secret letter.

The expedition to the small state was only a side benefit for the princes to gain experience; the real purpose was to suppress the influence of the millions of Taoist sects.

The army was moved there, and the princes were ordered to hunt down the demon cultivators and monsters, putting pressure on all the cultivators in the small state.

It was a clear message to the cultivators in the small state that they were already here, so they shouldn't harbor any hope that Dayu wouldn't start a war over a few small-time cultivators from the small state. They should surrender quickly before they start bullying the weak.

Under normal circumstances, the monks in Meizhou would definitely surrender at the speed of light.

But they have Taoism behind them, and Taoism will never watch Dayu eliminate the influence of their sect.

The Taoist sect does not want to offend Dayu, but will also demonstrate its own abilities and skills to stabilize the alliance of the millions of sects.

Therefore, when Dayu's expeditionary force arrived in Meizhou, the Taoist sect also openly sent a large army. The two leaders were both the best among the super sects, and were geniuses who could rival Ji Fa and Ji Ling'er.

Dayu was fighting under the banner of an expedition to eliminate demons, and he would kill anyone he could, unless they surrendered.

The Daoist sect is waving the banner of cleansing its ranks, arresting but not killing. While all assets will be confiscated, they will not be handed over to Dayu. Who knows where those assets will end up then?

Anyway, the Taoist sect doesn’t care about that little bit of resources.

Firstly, it is to convey information to millions of sects. Their Taoist sect protects all the sects. If anything really happens, they will be the first to take responsibility. Secondly, it is to let those sects express their opinions.

Want them to cover the losses? Sure, show some attitude. The Dao sect doesn't need weaklings who are frightened by Dayu.

This was the first time that Meizhou had experienced an expedition to eliminate demons, but it was not the first time that the millions of sects had seen an expedition to eliminate demons.

Dayu truly destroyed the sect, and the Daoists truly would cover for the enemy, helping to steal the truth. Having already established their own sect, they naturally knew which side to choose. Therefore, most sects have the upper echelons hiding, while the lower echelons do what they should do.

On the contrary, the surrender of the Huantian Sect this time seemed out of place and caught many people off guard.

But what caught them off guard was the mockery of the Huantian Sect's short-sightedness.

Though powerful, Dayu is unable to manage the vastness of the universe. While the millions of Daoist sects may not be completely united, they share a common goal. Isn't this expedition to eliminate demons a test for the Daoist sects themselves?

Those who persevere will naturally be rewarded, and those who cannot will naturally be ostracized.

Being ostracized by the millions of Daoist sects was no different from being annihilated. The Huantian Sect's annihilation was only a matter of time. Without the Huantian Sect, Meizhou would naturally need a new leading sect and a new cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

The Taoist sect cannot parachute a person in the God Transformation Stage, and no one in the God Transformation Stage would be willing to come to a place like Meizhou where spiritual energy is scarce, so the new God Transformation Stage will inevitably emerge from the remaining two third-rate sects of the righteous path.

How could the Sui Han Patriarch, who had been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for many years, let go of this opportunity?

Relying on the various secret letters in the ancient monk's storage bag and his lightning-fast methods, Li Lin soon understood the general plan of the Sui Han Sect.

Ancestor Sui Han wants to take Ancestor Huantian's head from the Taoist sect in exchange for an opportunity to break through to the God Transformation Stage.

Even if the Huantian Sect surrendered, it is still a sect of the devil. It is normal for the righteous to wipe out the devil. Could it be that Dayu can still protect the Huantian Sect in this matter?
Of course, Patriarch Sui Han is not a fool. He is not naive enough to think that he, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, has a chance to kill a mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator. Therefore, the Sui Han Sect is secretly cooperating with another third-rate orthodox sect in Meizhou, the Zhongnan Sect.

Patriarch Zhongnan has also reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and is eager to get the opportunity to become a god.

Currently, the two sects are acting in tacit coordination, preparing to use the blood of the ferocious beast that will soon appear in the Nine Yin Land as bait to attract the attention of the cultivators in Meizhou, draw in the manpower of the Huantian Sect, and then force the Huantian Ancestor to take action, and then join forces to deal with the Huantian Ancestor.

As for whether these two people can kill the ancestor Huantian at that time, the Taoist sect is not here to sit around and do nothing.

After a little thought, Li Lin understood why Sui Han Sect and Zhongnan Sect acted in such a tacit understanding.

The Taoist sect has probably already made a clear promise in secret that if the Huantian Sect can be destroyed, both the Sui Han and Zhong Nan ancestors can break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Even if these two people break through, they are both in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation. According to the unspoken rules between Dayu and the Taoist sect, Dayu will transfer people over, but they will only be in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation. The governor who was originally in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation and was comparable to the realm of the ancestor Huantian will also be replaced by someone in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation.

Although the number of people in the God Transformation Stage has increased, their combat effectiveness has actually decreased. In addition, it takes some time for the new people in the God Transformation Stage to get familiar with the environment of Meizhou. Overall, the Taoist sect has made a profit.

For Li Lin, the son of Marquis Bahuang, who suspected that the noble marquis had connections with the ancient sect and was attacked by ancient monks and almost died, this is a great opportunity to greatly improve his cultivation!
Those who want the blood of the ferocious beast are basically the foundation-building cultivators. Once the blood of the ferocious beast comes out, the Nine Yin Land will be in chaos. At that time, Li Lin can take advantage of the situation and use the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art to enjoy it and improve his cultivation.

After enjoying the meal, Li Lin's cultivation level increased greatly, and there happened to be a drop of ferocious beast's blood on the scene!

He would form a pill and his cultivation would increase greatly again, and he would be able to enjoy a feast again. By that time, the three ancestors, Huantian, Sui Han and Zhongnan, would probably be about to decide the winner.

The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art has no restrictions on refining cultivators. As long as one can kill cultivators at a higher level, one can completely refine people at a higher level than oneself.

Of course, you can also pick up bargains.

Two at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and one at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation stage. Even if you could get hold of one of them, it would be a great fortune.

After this killing spree, Li Lin not only gained enough cultivation, but also gained enough military merit.

"It's a good plan, but it's a pity——"
