Chapter 1778 - 1781: Stupid Pigs!
On the second day, Xin Lifeng received news from inside the God Slaying Alliance while still on the road.
After all, he hadn’t been publicly tried yet, so there were still many channels for information.
And all the news he heard only made him reevaluate Lu Xiaobu’s terrifying nature over and over again.
The insurrection in over a dozen cities surrounding God Slaying City had ignited fury within the God Slaying Alliance.
However, they hadn’t contemplated—or precisely, couldn’t believe—that this was merely due to some Spirit Stones.
So, they quickly labeled the incident as a covert ploy by rebellious forces.
Then, the military suppression began.
Wave after wave of people were killed!
But anyone with keen eyes could see that those killed were a fixed group of people.
Those who were Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Core Stage with no background or support!
Stepping outside Nascent Soul Stage’s realm, not a single person died!
Oh, except for one who was nearly beaten to death—the Out-of-Body Stage who was on night duty last night.
Yes, it was those Out-of-Body Stage individuals who also lost Spirit Stones seeking revenge under the guise of public duty.
However, he was only nearly beaten to death.
He’s still alive!
Just as this farce hadn’t ended, the silent spreading of news about the discovery of Spirit Stones in the Bank by two Divine Separation Stage individuals emerged!
And then!
The tension escalated rapidly!
The other two Divine Separation Stage members weren’t having it!
Damn it! We’ve lost everything too, why do those two get to recover their losses?!
No way! We won’t agree to this!
Want to express an opinion? What to do?
Make a fuss!
If the Divine Separation Stage is causing a fuss, would the Out-of-Body Stage feel safe?
Better stir up chaos or quickly flee!
Just like that, chaos surged several levels higher!
Thus, as Lu Xiaobu said, the power layer of God Slaying Alliance was infuriated, with constant chaos and commotion resonating within daily.
That was venting anger!
But how does venting anger help?
The problem still needed a solution.
And so, the series of foolish methods by these foolish people began!
They first arrogantly ordered the two Divine Separation Stage members who discovered the Spirit Stones to share them equally among the four Divine Separation Stage members!
They thought this approach was fair!
But!
"Why would we?!"
The two Divine Separation Stage finders exploded instantly.
Even if they divided the Stones between just the two of them, they’d incur a loss, not mentioning the interest.
They were causing a fuss due to uneven distribution!
In the end, they hadn’t divided yet, but suddenly there were two more mouths to feed?!
At least they had the credit for discovery, what about the other two? Just causing a fuss gets them a slice?!
Fine!
Like we can’t make a ruckus either!
Bring it on, isn’t this just a fuss!
No Spirit Stones, no lives either!
As they caused a fuss, the other side became even more ferocious!
Doesn’t everyone have pride?
Besides, it wasn’t just about pride; there were tangible Spirit Stones!
Furthermore, they claimed moral high ground!
The Alliance Hierarch did say the Stones should be shared equally, and now you want to resist?
Are you thinking of rebelling?!
Are you the masterminds behind those rebels?!
These two lines, even they didn’t believe, but who cares? They could still say it!
And so!
Okay!
Chaos directly doubled in magnitude!
Four Divine Separation Stage members—unlike the Golden Core Stage members scattered on the streets—being able to keep causing turmoil in God Slaying City meant they were close to the core of power within God Slaying Alliance!
Now, with such turmoil, a fierce, combustible atmosphere surrounded the entire God Slaying Alliance, ready to initiate a conflict with anyone they encountered!
If internal turmoil persisted, how could the external situation be stable?
The insurrections that hadn’t been fully suppressed also surged incredibly.
Among them, many were simply exploiting chaos, wielding various banners; actual bandits outnumbered genuine rebels several times!
The core power layer within God Slaying Alliance exploded with rage!
While cursing the four Divine Separation Stage members for their lack of big-picture awareness, they racked their brains to find solutions!
And so!
Another erroneous decision came down!
Fine! Let’s settle this—since the two of you are unwilling to give, the God Slaying Alliance will pay to compensate the lacking Spirit Stones for all four!
Truth be told, when Xin Lifeng heard God Slaying Alliance had made this decision, he cursed aloud: "A bunch of fools!"
They actually came up with the most foolish approach!
God Slaying Alliance providing Spirit Stones?!
Do you have an account ledger?
Do you know how much each person invested?
Also, imagine—the moment those four Divine Separation Stage members hear about public funds, what would their reaction be?!
Anyone who doesn’t take advantage is a fool!
The four of them would definitely collude privately and exaggerate their reported numbers.
Alright, even if God Slaying Alliance did put in extra resources and didn’t care about some exaggeration!
May I ask, addressing Divine Separation Stage members is one thing, but what about Out-of-Body Stage members?
The Divine Separation Stage is formidable, yet those who actually get things done are these Out-of-Body Stage members!
If you address them too, well then Lu Xiaobu’s words would become reality!
Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Core Stage members would start seeking patrons!
In the end, an issue involving mere hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones might require tens of millions, or even more, to resolve by God Slaying Alliance.
Even if it exhausts everything they’ve got and they endure it reluctantly, what about the alliances formed by these groups?
Moreover, with those few haughty members of God Slaying Alliance, would they actually endure silently?!
Would they bear watching those In-Out-of-Body Stage members who’ve been seen as insignificant, even cheated them?!
Dream on!
These decisions in the end will only create more chaos!
And in the end, these fools will realize there’s only one solution left for all these problems!
Kill!
Kill them all!
From top to bottom!
Leave no survivors!
Well, great, a very thorough solution!
But after the killing, then what?!
Outwardly terrified, but inwardly what?!
Would anyone dare to work for you after you slaughtered so many just for a few Spirit Stones?!
Ah, hearts will ultimately grow cold!
Xin Lifeng let out a long sigh, then headed to the Chaotic Land!
In the following days, his prediction came true!
The humiliated and enraged God Slaying Alliance core finally raised the knife, harsher than the first massacre!
Utterly choosing to kill a thousand wrongly rather than sparing one!
As heads rolled, chaos finally settled!
But usable manpower was reduced by almost thirty percent.
This forced God Slaying Alliance to release a lot of reserve forces to manage this vast territory!
And only then did they issue a wanted order for Xin Lifeng across Gourd Island!
Yet, it was utterly meaningless!
Internally disheartened and externally dispassionate!
Rendering the so-called wanted order as inconsequential to anyone!
Many even secretly contacted Xin Lifeng—they wanted to join him!
Though for God Slaying Alliance, it was like drinking poison to quench thirst, but at least chaos was quelled, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the subsequent developments caught them completely off guard!
It was their first taste of the despair and disbelief that Xin Lifeng had experienced!
