Book 16: Chapter 77: War of Beliefs


“So the giant lizard army actually already reached this type of scale…”


While seeing the giant lizard riders that gradually filled their line of sight, Gu Xinyin’s smile gradually receded. He didn’t pay Xu Shengmo’s angry expression any attention either, instead looking at Gao Yanan, Jiang Xiaoyi and the others who came over, asking seriously, “How did you all survive?”


When he saw these people who he originally believed to have died, Gu Xinyin’s emotions naturally became extremely complicated. Meanwhile, for Gao Yanan, Jiang Xiaoyi and the others, Gu Xinyin’s appearance naturally carried entirely different significance as well.


Gao Yanan showed Gu Xinyin a serious bow. She didn’t immediately reply to Gu Xinyin’s question, instead asking quietly, “How is he?”


Gu Xinyin looked at her calm expression. He was instead the one whose shoulders tightened. He said quietly in a serious manner, “He has gone to Great Mang’s Thousand Devil Nest.”


“This is Huang Houxiao.” Gao Yanan nodded. She turned slightly so that Gu Xinyin could see Huang Huoxiao on the back of a giant lizard mount not far behind her. “It was him who promptly informed us of the enemy’s plans, allowing us to escape.”


“So it was that past commander of Dragon Snake Border Army.” Gu Xinyin smiled. He bowed towards Huang Huoxiao in thanks.


Huang Huoxiao had also heard of many legends regarding Gu Xinyin. He felt great admiration, immediately returning his greeting with a bow.


“We all thought that you guys died. He thought that you all died as well.” Gu Xinyin looked at Gao Yanan with a somewhat moved expression. “Why did you always hide news of your survival from him?”


“We are most likely the ones Zhang Ping wishes to kill the most apart from Lin Xi.” Gao Yanan looked at Gu Xinyin and said, “He already knows that Chi Xiaoye and the Cave Barbarians here have some relationship with Lin Xi. If he learns that we were still alive as well, that we were here, then he will definitely head here first.”


“You are absolutely correct.” Gu Xinyin nodded. “He doesn’t know that you all are still alive… You all are completely an unexpected force for him. It is just that this is a bit cruel regardless of whether it is for him or for you.”


“For the sake of winning against Zhang Ping, we had no other choice.” Gao Yanan’s head lowered slightly. “Also, I have faith in him.”


“Just how is he right now?” Bian Linghan showed Gu Xinyin a respectful bow, and then couldn’t help but ask.


For her, Jiang Xiaoyi and the others, Lin Xi already left for far too long. Moreover, Lin Xi and Gu Xinyin’s return was also tied to Principal Zhang’s life and death.


Gu Xinyin thought to himself for a bit.


He decided to use a more tactful method that was easier to accept to explain himself. Then, he looked at Bian Linghan and these other young Green Luan Academy cultivators. “The cultivators of the Immortal Devil Age called our world the Sea of Mountains. In Green Luan Palace’s remains, there was a path that led to another void world. Principal Zhang has already entered that void world. To put it simply, he left this world and headed to another unknown world to train himself. However, he has left behind enough pointers that allowed Lin Xi to obtain what he wanted to obtain.”


“Principal Zhang went to another world?” Everyone from the academy, including Xu Shengmo, entered a state of shock and silence.


“What kind of place is the void world?” Xu Shengmo forgot his previous unhappiness. He couldn’t help but ask this.


“I do not know.” Gu Xinyin shook her head. “That passage has already collapsed. The heavy rain was precisely because of the collapse of that path and Green Luan Palace’s remains.”


Xu Shengmo was stunned for a long time.


But entering an unknown land in search of secrets was easier for him and the other academy people to accept. That was why after he was stunned for a long time, his expression became awful again, saying with a snort, “Then where is Lin Xi right now? Is he a match for Zhang Ping now or not?”


“I can only say that he is currently much more powerful than the past Purgatory Mountain Patriarch.” Gu Xinyin looked at Xu Shengmo who immediately felt annoyed when he thought of Lin Xi. He said with a smile, “After all, we still do not know how strong Zhang Ping has gotten.”


Xu Shengmo was stunned again.


“Are you joking with me?” His face darkened. He looked at Gu Xinyin and said, “You know that Purgatory Mountain Patriarch is already a Sacred Master. There is the word master after sacred, okay?”


“I know that this is hard for you to accept, but you should just resign yourself to the truth.” Gu Xinyin patted his shoulder with a smile. “I’m really not joking around with you. That master word of his is definitely bigger than the master word of that Purgatory Mountain Patriarch.”


Gu Xinyin’s words sounded frivolous, but anyone could tell that he was telling the truth.


Bian Linghan exchanged a look with Jiang Xiaoyi and the others. Then, their eyes couldn’t help but all gather towards Xu Shengmo.


They all understood clearly that Xu Shengmo disliked Lin Xi the most. That was why they felt like Xu Shengmo would definitely be even more flustered and exasperated.


However, what they didn’t expect was that when Xu Shengmo heard Gu Xinyin’s words, after his face darkened, he gave Gu Xinyin a look of disdain. “Why wouldn’t I be able to accept it? Strong is strong. I admit that I underestimated him, is that not good enough? For better or for worse, no matter how strong he is, he was still my student.”


Gu Xinyin stared blankly for a moment. He rubbed his nose and said, “Seems like I still don’t fully understand you.”


Xu Shengmo gave him a look, saying in a bit of a cocky manner. “Of course! I’m not someone that petty.”


Jiang Xiaoyi laughed, but he didn’t dare laugh, making his face appear a bit distorted.


“What did he go to Thousand Devil Nest to do?” Gao Yanan calmed down. She looked at Gu Xinyin and asked.


Gu Xinyin said, “He went to destroy all of the Devil Eye Flowers. This was information Meng Bai sent back. After the battle of Central Continent City, Zhang Ping suffered serious injuries as well, producing a dependence on Devil Eye Flowers.”


“Meng Bai really is formidable.” Gao Yanan exchanged a look with Bian Linghan and the others, saying this quietly.


“Everyone thinks that he is incredibly cowardly, deceiving even Zhang Ping. However, he has already prevailed over himself.” Gu Xinyin nodded and said, “The hardest thing to overcome is oneself, so he is indeed extremely formidable.”


“What kind of plans does he have now? What should we do?” Gao Yanan nodded, and then she asked while looking at Gu Xinyin.


“He will then head to Purgatory Mountain. Before Zhang Ping returns to Great Mang, no one in Purgatory Mountain is his match,” said Gu Xinyin with a smile. “Zhang Ping used this type of simple and crude method to take over Central Continent City, so he will use the same method to deal with Purgatory Mountain. As for what happens after, our thinking is the same. No matter how strong Zhang Ping is, we can make him weak. Burning down Thousand Devil Nest’s Devil Eye Flower Fields and subduing Purgatory Mountain is precisely a start.”


After a slight pause, Gu Xinyin looked at Gao Yanan, Bian Linghan and the others, saying with a smile, “Make him become weak, this type of method is even more dependable. Moreover, in my opinion, the ultimate victory will make me feel even more satisfied. After all, everything he has done is precisely to make the entire world his enemy. He wants to make us see that all of the believers he controlled were all people who used to fight for us. He wants us to personally kill those people. He wants for us to see this world’s ugliness, to make us feel that fighting for an ugly world is a complete mistake. The scene he wishes to see the most is precisely a battle between us and those believers under his control. However, we have always believed that what is ugly is only a small part of the world. That is why from a certain meaning, this war is a war of beliefs. I believe that at the very end of this battle, when he is defeated, Lin Xi will want to tell him that he was wrong. Lin Xi will definitely want to tell him that he was defeated by this world, that he was defeated by Meng Bai, by all of you, and many people like you all.”


“He has already destroyed all of the Devil Eye Flowers… this is the beginning.” Gu Xinyin’s voice became a bit lower. He looked at Gao Yanan and said quietly, “I want to talk to you alone, because you must agree to the second part of our plan against Zhang Ping.”



“What is it?”


Gao Yanan and Gu Xinyn rode on a single giant lizard and walked to the very front of the troop. She looked at Gu Xinyin and quietly asked.


“In the previous great battle with Purgatory Mountain, someone from our academy infiltrated inside and obtained some secrets pertaining to Zhang Ping. Moreover, these secrets have also been confirmed through Lin Xi’s body.” Gu Xinyin looked into her eyes and slowly said, “Anger can cause fatal damage to his liver. Some of our academy lecturers have analyzed that the wrath he displayed when he passed through a certain small town this year most likely came from the fact that Qin Xiyue entered Heaven Ascension Mountain Range with Lin Xi.”


Gao Yanan immediately understood Gu Xinyin’s intentions. She nodded and quietly said, “That is why Qin Xiyue can also deal him another fatal blow… What Zhang Ping hated bitterly the most before was that Qin Xiyue likes Lin Xi. If he finds out that Qin Xiyue and Lin Xi are a couple, then he will definitely feel extreme rage. Moreover, there already shouldn’t be much else in this world that could make him feel greater anger.”


Gu Xinyin looked at Gao Yanan, seeing that she was truly calm. That was why he also felt relieved, knowing that he didn’t have to beat around the bush. He nodded and said, “Even though it is a play, we have to take your feelings into consideration.”


“I trust Lin Xi, so of course I won’t feel like there is anything wrong with this.” Gao Yanan looked at him and said, “Also, he isn’t some inflexible person either. He believes that I have already died, so he will do everything he can to get revenge for me. Perhaps we should continue to keep our survival a secret. At that time, when Zhang Ping suddenly discovers that we are still alive, we might be able to make him even more angry.”
