"What do you think of my suggestion?"

The three of them, Qingxuzi and his companions, exchanged glances and could see the bitterness and struggle in each other's eyes.

In exchange for the sect's most treasured secret techniques and skills?

If this gets back to the sect, the three of them will be skinned alive.

That's the very foundation upon which a sect stands!

But if we don't change it...

They had no doubt that they might not be able to leave this door today.

This man is not one to be soft-hearted.

"Lord Dao..."

An elder from Wudang, steeling himself, spoke up, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by us alone. Could you allow us to...?"

"Can."

Su Bai nodded readily.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"You have one day to go back and discuss this with the people in your class who can make the decisions."

Su Bai leaned back in his chair and held up three fingers.

"I'll only sell three copies of the cultivation technique in exchange for three Heavenly Serpent Pills."

"Whoever provides the highest-grade cultivation technique and the most comprehensive information gets the item."

"Of course, you can also choose to unite and boycott me together."

Su Bai smiled as he finished speaking.

"However, I must warn you that my patience is limited."

"If I don't see a satisfactory reply after a day, I may have to visit your temple in person."

"At that point, I might not just buy it, I might just take it directly."

A blatant threat!

The three of them turned pale again.

But what chilled them even more was the transaction method proposed by Su Bai.

Only three servings available!

Highest bidder wins!

This is clearly designed to force the three sects—no, all the sects behind them—to engage in infighting and competition among themselves!

Everyone wants that divine pill that can increase the chance of breaking through by 30%.

No one wants their own martial arts techniques to be outdone by others.

A calculated scheme!

This is a blatant conspiracy!

They could see it clearly, but they had no way to solve it.

As long as they harbor even a sliver of greed or a desire for breakthrough, they will inevitably fall into this trap.

"Alright, I've finished speaking."

Su Bai waved his hand, "See the guest out."

Lin Wan appeared at the door at some point and gestured for the three of them to enter.

"Please, three Taoist priests."

Qingxuzi and the other two stood up dejectedly and followed Lin Wan out.

Only when they stepped out of that reception room and felt the sunlight again did they feel alive again.

The three exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with wariness and suspicion.

Just moments ago, we were allies, but now we are each other’s biggest rivals.

……

Inside the reception room.

Lin Wan walked back, holding a tablet in her hand.

"Boss, this is the latest intelligence summary."

Her voice was cool, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible concern. "You must have used up a lot of energy just now? Would you like some medicinal food to replenish your strength?"

"Need not."

Su Bai took the tablet and casually swiped through it.

The amount of energy he just consumed was negligible compared to the endless internal cycle of his Yin-Yang Dao Body.

"These old guys are richer than I thought."

He looked at the gadgets he had "borrowed" from the three men and commented on them, as displayed on the tablet.

"Will they agree to the deal?" Lin Wan asked.

"Yes."

Su Bai was very certain.

"No one can resist the temptation of a breakthrough, especially a group of old guys who have been stuck at their bottlenecks for hundreds of years."

"Besides, they had no choice."

"Giving is a transaction. Not giving is robbery."

"They are all smart people; they know how to choose."

He swiped through the content on the tablet, then suddenly stopped on a page.

"What is this?"

On the screen was a satellite cloud image, showing a vast area of ​​inland China shrouded in a dense aura of demonic energy, forming a massive vortex.

"This is the highest-level alert just received from 'Dragon Shield'."

Lin Wan's expression turned serious.

"Based on their intelligence, as well as our own drone reconnaissance."

"In the inland areas, almost all the demons, monsters, spirits, and monsters that have awakened their intelligence are gathering in the 'Valley of Ten Thousand Demons' west of the Kunlun Mountains."

"They formed an organization called the 'Alliance of Ten Thousand Demons'."

"The leader of the alliance is unknown, but it is said to be an ancient demon with unfathomable strength who existed before the spiritual energy was restored."

"Their slogan is to restore the glory of the demon race. Humans have stolen the land that rightfully belongs to them, and now they will take it back."

Lin Wan's voice was heavy.

This is no longer a small-scale beast tide.

This is an organized, well-defined alliance of intelligent races with clear objectives!

It is a declaration of war against all of human civilization!

"The Alliance of Ten Thousand Demons..."

Su Bai's fingers tapped lightly on the tablet.

"It finally came."

He wasn't surprised at all.

In its previous life, this "Alliance of Ten Thousand Demons" caused enormous trouble for humanity.

Countless base cities have been destroyed by their claws.

Their strongest members were even able to rival the most powerful cultivators of the time.

However, in this life, they seem to have appeared much earlier than expected.

"What are their specific movements?" Su Bai asked.

"We are still integrating internally for now."

Lin Wan swiped the screen and brought up several bloody images.

"The demon race is not a monolithic entity either; various races fight fiercely for territory and the right to speak."

"But Dragon Shield predicts that this internal strife will not last long."

"Once they complete their integration, their first target will likely be our human settlements."

"After all, in their eyes, blood is the fastest way to increase their strength."

Su Bai looked at the photos, his face expressionless.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is the rule of this world.

"What did Azure Dragon say?"

"He hopes to meet with you."

Lin Wan replied, "Although the 'Dragon Shield' has greatly increased in strength, it is still insufficient to face the entire alliance of the demon race. They need your power, at least, they need your help to restrain the top fighting force of the Myriad Demon Alliance."

"contain?"

Su Bai chuckled softly.

"You certainly have a big appetite."

He stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the Gobi Desert outside the base that had been transformed into a vibrant place.

Tell Canglong that a meeting is possible.

"But not now."

"Let him stabilize his position and prepare his defense."

"Furthermore, have our intelligence department infiltrate the 'Ten Thousand Demons Alliance' with all its might. I need to know everything about their mysterious leader."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will find a way to solve the problem once and for all."

Su Bai's voice was calm, yet it conveyed an undeniable decisiveness.

He never fights a battle unprepared.

"clear."

Lin Wan nodded and wrote down the instructions one by one.
