Chapter 349 Cooperation
historical
Feihong Bodhisattva had no intentions of helping Li Ye when she attacked the Immortal Court cultivators.
The murderous look in her eyes when she looked at Li Ye was not an act either.
She was angry with Li Ye, but she attacked the Immortal Court cultivators. And all this was a part of Li Ye’s plan. This was the source of the confidence in his eyes.
Li Ye knew that Feihong Bodhisattva would choose this way.
Out of the three parties, the Immortal Court, Buddhism and the Demon Clan, the Immortal Court was the strongest. Not only did they have the largest number of cultivators, which was an absolute advantage, but they also had the strongest high-end combat power. With Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan combined, they also had the secret weapon to suppress the demon clan, which would almost guarantee them victory.
Not only did this guarantee them victory over the demon clan, it was the same with the Land Buddhism.
The Feihong Bodhisattva was truly extraordinary, and she had a few tricks up her sleeve. Even when her cultivation had been suppressed, she still stood a good chance when faced up against Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan under normal circumstances. However, since the Immortal Court had the secret method to suppress the demon clan, then they probably had secret means to suppress the Buddhist monks too. After all, the divine land Jiuzhou did belong to the Immortal Court of the Taoist sect.
Once the demon clan was destroyed, the Land Buddhism would also be in danger.
The demon clan and the Land Buddhism now were as close as lips and teeth.
Only by joining forces, could they have the chance to compete with the Immortal Court.
Only after dealing with the Immortal Court cultivators, the Heaven Mystery might then fall into their hands. Otherwise, whether it was the ruined copper block or the Heaven Mystery and Luck, it would only be snatched away by the Immortal Court cultivators.
This theory was quite straight forward. Li Ye believed that Feihong Bodhisattva could figure it out.
Once she figured it out, she would naturally know who to attack.
Feihong Bodhisattva did attack the Immortal Court cultivators.
But knowing what to do and being forced to choose were two completely different things.
Li Ye “stirred things up” in order to prevent the demon clan from being killed by the Immortal Court. The Land Buddhism monks must immediately engage in fighting and provide hands-on support. There was no opportunity to wait to observe the situation and seek the benefit.
In short, not only did Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan fall in Li Ye’s trap, but even the Feihong Bodhisattva.
It was no wonder that Feihong Bodhisattva had that murderous look in her eyes for Li Ye who was basically pulling her along by the nose. She was already unhappy to begin with, but now, she might have remembered that she suffered losses in Li Ye’s hand after descending to the world.
With all that aside, after the Land Buddhism monks had launched an attack on the Immortal Court cultivators, the scene became a tripartite war. Although the Land Buddhism monk and the demon clan cultivators had no intention of uniting, they also had deep hatred towards Li Ye. However, there was no room for emotions in the face of actual needs.
The Immortal Court cultivators were attacked on both sides, so their situation suddenly became extremely bad. The arrows from the demon clan and the Land Buddhism kept flying, and the sound made their toes curl. Many people had to retract immediately at the probe. Otherwise, they would be injured. At this time, Immortal Court cultivators’ counterattack seemed to be inadequate, and they could only be passively beaten.
Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan’s faces were as dark as ink.
Chen Jizhen gritted his teeth and added, “Li Ye, I have irreconcilable hatred for him! If there is a chance this time, I will skin him alive and throw him into the frying pan and fry him for 100 days so that he will be tortured!”
His words expressed the aspirations of all the Immortal Court cultivators. And they responded, all of which had resentment towards Li Ye.
Huang Jingyuan was also furious, but when he saw the sight in front of him, he calmed down a lot.
When they entered this city called “Dingyuan”, they had the largest number of people. Both of them had a dozen men, which was considered a strong army. They could have steadily won even if the demon clan and Land Buddhism joined up, much less facing any one of them alone.
It was a pity that since entering the ruins, they had been killed off by Li Ye one after another. Now they were trapped and under siege because of Li Ye. It was not only embarrassing and uncomfortable, but they were also facing the danger of defeat.
Even if Huang Jingyuan had the wisdom of exceedingly high ability, when he first descended down to the world, he couldn’t have predicted the current situation.
Seeing Huang Jingyuan was silent, Chen Jizhen said unhappily, “Why don’t you speak? Make up your mind now! If you don’t have an idea, I think we should use the secret method to suppress the demon clan cultivators. First we eliminate the demon clan and capture Li Ye alive, then we get even with the Land Buddhism monks! ”
Huang Jingyuan was noncommittal with a grim face.
At this moment he weighed the pros and cons, there were sixteen or seventeen demon clan cultivators and Land Buddhism monks. Using their numbers advantage, when the Immortal Courts’ cultivators would be suppressed with firepower, the cultivators of demon clan and Land Buddhism would jump out of their original positions and run a distance, and they would then conceal themselves while charging themselves towards Huang Jingyuan and his men.
Not only that, the demon clan cultivators and Land Buddhism monks even instructed their men to leave the place quietly. They began to covertly outflank them from behind, which suggested they intended to surround the Immortal Court cultivators. And those outflanking cultivators were all equipped with Fuyuan crossbows in their hands.
Needless to say they planned to block the Immortal Court cultivators’ escape route.
Seeing this scene, even the calm Huang Jingyuan couldn’t sit still. He slammed his fist on the stone wall in front of him.
The muscles of Chen Jizhen’s face were twisted, and his eyes were full of murder, “Abominable! Li Ye, he thinks we are definitely defeated? He has already tried to prevent us from escaping! How could he be sure that he can win us? Does he think this little advantage is enough to make us die here!”
Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan still had a few tricks up their sleeves, but Li Ye was already arranging his men and formation in accordance with their destined defeat. In their view, this behavior was naturally full of arrogance and contempt for them, which was a great insult to their dignity.
Huang Jingyuan added in a cold voice, “Compared with Li Ye’s arrogance, I am more curious about why Feihong Bodhisattva is willing to cooperate with him! He is a mere ant-like mortal. He is nothing in the eyes of the immortal Buddha. So why didn’t the Feihong Bodhisattva respond when she clearly knew she had been pulled aboard by him?”
It’s one thing for the demon clan and Land Buddhism monks to join forces. But it’s another thing to work well together. The current situation was that the cultivators of demon clan and Land Buddhism monks were uniform in their actions, as if commanded by the same commander—with both sides sending their forces to push forward and flank them from the sides. Their efforts in action proved that point.
In other words, Li Ye and Feihong Bodhisattva cooperated very well!
Realizing this, Chen Jizhen was in a frenzy of rage. He couldn’t figure it out.
Li Ye had killed so many people from the Land Buddhism, why did Feihong Bodhisattva still join him now? Feihong Bodhisattva did not concur to joining forces with the Immortal Court to eradicate Li Ye but cooperated with him instead!
The enemy’s enemy did not become friends with them. Instead, the two enemies had aligned to face them. Anyone in their situation would feel like eating a large bowl of flies, extremely disgusting and uncomfortable.
