Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"My father already knew they would not help. He did that just to let the information spread. I am sure many of the immortals were already under them.

This is like a game of chess, Vesa. This planet is the board, and each of the sects and clans is nothing more than chess pieces.

The players are two invisible figures that we don't know yet and only speculate.

My father thinks this is all done by the Primordials, but I doubt it. Even with this planet's history, Primordials have no business on a planet this weak."

"I agree with that, King. The cultivation on this planet is still in the early phase. The world seed here is not even matured yet."

"How about the world spirit? Can you talk with it?"

"No, I have tried, but there is no response. I think it's in a dormant state now like it's in a deep sleep."

"I see. I wonder if it's really dormant or if it's out now inside one of the cultivators."

"King, this is not a novel."

"That doesn't make this possibility null, Vesa. The world's spirit is already sentient and realizes something is happening now. Do you think it will just take things lying down?

Aren't you the same? You took Edonia's remains into your body because, without it, you would also die."

"Alex, you are here." A familiar voice called out, cutting their conversation short.

Vesa had already removed the barrier, allowing everyone to see what was happening. This was done by Alex's order as he wanted to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Staying hidden for a prolonged time would just make others speculate on what he was doing. Alex knew Stel still didn't trust him; the same could also be said for Clara despite what she said.

"What's up, YingXue?"

"Clara asked me to look for you. She said to remind you there are many things you need to talk about."

"Give me some more time; I will be there shortly."

"Just go; I am alright now," MingYue said as she rose up from his lap.

"Okay then, can you take care of our forces, MingYue? I have told Vesa the gist, but you can change it as you see fit."

"Sure, but Alex, I want to send some of the army to reinforce Bai Yue Sect."

"Hmm… In that case, Vesa, can you absorb some of the city and take it to Edonia?"

"With some preparation, it should be doable, King, but it will cost us a lot of Qi crystals since we will need to create a city-wide array."

"Then MingYue, could you go to the Midnight Clan first and move it all to Edonia?

As for the others, focus our forces on three cities.

Let the civilians and cultivators choose if they want to go with us or not. Those that don't, just free them all and give them the modified weapons."

Alex planned to use them to promote the city. With the new information, Alex decided to change his strategy. He planned to give them some modern devices and weapons that would make all of them interested.

This would result in some of them wanting to join in or others starting to group together to attack them.

Both would work to their benefit and as they grouped together, he could use a mass destruction weapon to eliminate them all in one move. As for those immortals that hide in the shadows, the sovereigns would catch them one by one and pull out all the important information.

He would then adapt the strategy from it. As for the possibility of the weapons being used against them, Alex wasn't afraid.

The weapons that would be given out to these cultivators were modified guns. He could make all of them explode at a certain distance.

There was still a chance someone could remove this protection, but Alex was sure even immortals with expertise in formations could not do it in a short time.

It's not because of the encryption, but any attempt to modify or disassemble it would result in the formation exploding. This was the same even for Alex himself; he didn't leave any backdoor.

Alex and MingYue had talked about this before. What if their weapons fell into others' hands? What could they do to avoid it?

In the end, they concluded it was only a matter of time.

Since that is the case, it would be better if this happened under their initiative, and these modified weapons were what came out of it.

MingYue quickly understood what Alex meant by that. She agreed, then left Zephyr Clan with Vesa.

"So you gave up on conquering this region?" Ying Xue asked as that is what she had concluded based on what she had heard.

"That is not your problem. Rather than that, I suggest you return to the Xue Family now and search for Feng Xue.

I am sure she is planning something big, too."

"We already have people searching for her, but there is no news yet. Or maybe they already found her, but I haven't gotten the information."

"Try to look near Shangxi Temple HQ. I am sure she is there now doing something to bring it down."

"We also think of that, but we still haven't found her."

"Don't limit your search to cultivators. Try looking for newly opened restaurants or old ones that have suddenly become popular.

Feng Xue probably disguised herself as a civilian. She doesn't want half-assed revenge; she wants to remove them completely from the root.

This will start by getting the civilians to rebel against them."

"Civilians rebel against Shangxi Temple? That is impossible."

"For every organization, corrupt officials exist, and people are insatiable. When we are hungry, we only want food, but when our stomach is full, we will start wanting many things.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

These civilians have lived in peace for a long time under Shangxi Temple. I don't believe any of them want more.

Feng Xue just needs to provide them with a good bait."

"That amounts to nothing. No matter how many civilians group together, they cannot fight against the cultivators under Shangxi Temple."

"You are wrong there, but even if that is the case, Shangxi Temple's foundation is its equality and law. They cannot just wantonly kill all the civilians without justification."

Alex didn't want to tell Ying Xue the details, but based on what Feng Xue has now, weaponizing civilians against cultivators is not just a dream.

Ying Xue then guided Alex to Clara's place. At first, she was still conflicted about whether she should follow Alex's advice or not, but she decided to just stay here.

There was nothing she could do even if she went back there. Right now, she needed to regain back her cultivation, and she could do that while staying with Alex and the others.
