You're Working Together!
This wasn't the first time Ji Changfeng had heard of Chu Xinghe's reputation for being a master strategist.
But Ji Changfeng never believed that a mere young man could truly be infallible.
Chu Xinghe's ingenious methods were probably the result of the combined efforts of these old guys from the Vast Heaven Sect.
But this time, Ji Changfeng truly witnessed it.
Making all the disciples of the sect cultivate demonic beasts... seems like a completely reckless and outrageous act, and even a moment ago, Ji Changfeng thought so.
Even when the Grand Elder said that the Xinghe must have a profound meaning, Ji Changfeng did not believe it.
But at this moment, Ji Changfeng was truly convinced.
Chu Xinghe's decision to have all his disciples train demonic beasts seemed like a reckless act, but it was actually because Chu Xinghe knew about Wan Lin's seclusion to learn the Art of Charm.
Chu Xinghe must have known that the Art of Charm was effective against demonic beasts, so he began cultivating demonic beasts ahead of time in preparation for the next step.
However, while Wan Lin could control some of the demonic beasts using only Art of Charm, it was clearly impossible for him to control all the demonic beasts in the entire sect.
Under these circumstances, Chu Xinghe discovered Hu Wenhai.
You should know... While the Mirror Image Talisman within the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art can seal Art of Charm, it would take a normal Mirror Image Talisman master a great deal of time to create one.
Even if a talisman master were an ordinary one, and had truly mastered the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art, it would be virtually impossible for them to create Mirror Image Talisman for everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect.
After all, it takes too long for a normal talisman master to make one.
But if all of this were handed over to Hu Wenhai, the Rushing Thunder Hand, there would be no such concerns.
After taking the first two steps, Chu Xinghe must have known that although Hu Wenhai and Wan Lin could complete the first two steps on their own, they would not be able to succeed in the most crucial third step.
Ji Changfeng believed that from that moment on, Chu Xinghe might have already set his sights on his Bewilderment Art... but Chu Xinghe lacked a reason to bring him to the Vast Heaven Sect.
After all, under normal circumstances, if Chu Xinghe approached him wanting to learn his Bewilderment Art, he couldn't teach him.
However, through this struggle with the Heavenly Medicine Palace, he ultimately managed to stay with the Vast Heaven Sect, and thus his Bewilderment Arts naturally became part of the Vast Heaven Sect.
His own Bewilderment Art was the final piece of Chu Xinghe's plan!
At this moment, Ji Changfeng even began to suspect that the old Wu Qun's sudden appearance in front of him with his disciple Luo Ying'er, and his discovery that Luo Ying'er possessed the Nine Nether Physique, was all orchestrated by Chu Xinghe behind the scenes!
That's terrifying!
Is this the legendary, infallible strategist Chu Xinghe?
His every move seemed whimsical and effortless... but in fact, he had calculated everything that might happen in the Future with each step he took...
Ji Changfeng never expected that he had been part of Chu Xinghe's scheme all along!
While others plan three steps ahead for every one they take, Chu Xinghe hadn't even taken a single step yet, but he had already calculated the next hundred steps...
His wisdom is comparable to that of the demon Chu Xinghe... truly, his reputation is well-deserved.
Like many others, Ji Changfeng had always believed that Chu Xinghe's success was probably just luck.
But this time, Ji Changfeng believed that although Chu Xinghe had an element of luck, Chu Xinghe's success today was entirely due to his incredibly meticulous planning.
Although he was also part of the scheme... Ji Changfeng wasn't angry.
What? You mean you left the Vast Heaven Sect in a fit of anger?
Stop joking... Do you even know how many resources the Vast Heaven Sect has?
In the past, when I, Ji Changfeng, was researching something, it would take me almost half a year just to find all the necessary resources. But now, I only need to name a number, and if the Vast Heaven Sect cannot deliver the resources on the same day, it would be considered disrespectful to me Ji Changfeng.
So even though Ji Changfeng knew he had been tricked, he wasn't angry at all...
After all, although Chu Xinghe schemed against us, he also gave us real benefits... Do you know how valuable the resources of the Vast Heaven Sect are?
No matter what rare and precious materials are used, no matter the quantity required, and regardless of success or failure, the entire Vast Heaven Sect will not utter a single extra word...
Under these circumstances, you want me to leave the Vast Heaven Sect? I am Ji Changfeng, not Ji Changfeng!
I'm not crazy!
There is absolutely no place in this world more attractive than the Vast Heaven Sect.
Therefore, no one can shake my position as the First Guest Elder, Ji Changfeng!
Seeing the excitement on Wan Lin and Hu Wenhai's faces after controlling the demonic beasts with the Mirror Image Talisman, Ji Changfeng could understand it.
Because Ji Changfeng knew very well what this meant!
This is a demon beast... In the past, demon beasts could only be in a hostile state, and no one could make them obey.
But now... demonic beasts can become partners... what does that mean?
Although a demon beast controlled by Charm Art cannot unleash its full power, even if it can only unleash 70% or even half of its power, it would still be a huge help to any disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect.
This is a brand-new ability that allows all disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect to take off on the spot.
A Seventh Rank Martial Saint, accompanied by a Seventh Rank demonic beast... Even if the demonic beast can only exert half of its power, don't forget that demonic beasts are all known for their thick skin and toughness, making them resilient to beatings.
In battle, what does it mean to have a monster that can be used as a meat shield in front of the enemy?
Moreover, it's even more terrifying in team battles. In dangerous team battles, disciples from other sects can only go in alone, but if each disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect has one or even several demonic beasts, then no matter how dangerous the team battle is, as long as the demonic beasts gather and launch an attack, then it's hard to say who will be in danger.
Looking at the excited Wan Lin and Hu Wenhai, Ji Changfeng could only say one thing: Heaven truly blesses Vast Heaven.
Of course, Ji Changfeng knew that he also deserved credit for this.
After all, his own Bewilderment Art were a crucial part of it.
Previously, Ji Changfeng had been pondering what he could do for the Vast Heaven Sect resources every day.
Now Ji Changfeng knew what he had to do.
The news that Wan Lin and Hu Wenhai could completely control the demonic beasts could not be kept secret.
Wan Lin and Hu Wenhai's cheers attracted countless Dark Moon Clan.
Even the Great Sage was attracted.
However, when he saw Hu Wenhai controlling the demonic beasts with his own eyes, even though the Great Sage had long expected this day to come, he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
While surprised, the Great Sage immediately instructed An Lan to quickly inform the entire sect of this news... Of course, the most important thing was to send this good news to the Holy One as soon as possible.
You see, the Holy One has been pacing around the Dark Moon Palace every day these past few days; he must have been keeping a close eye on the progress of this matter!
An Lan didn't waste a moment, and soon the news that Wan Lin and Hu Wenhai could control demonic beasts together spread throughout the Vast Heaven Sect.
Even the sect leader, who had gone into seclusion again and was unsure whether he was painting a self-portrait or cultivating, was alarmed.
Countless powerful figures arrived at the Dark Moon Palace immediately.
Of course, An Lan hasn't forgotten the Holy One either.
When An Lan rushed into the Holy One's room and pulled the sleeping Holy One out of bed to tell Holy One the good news, the Holy One was stunned for a full minute.
Then Chu Xinghe rubbed his eyes and said... "Are dreams getting this absurd now?"
It must be because of my sleeping position. I'll try sleeping in a different position!
But when An Lan pulled him out of bed again and repeatedly told him that the monster was controllable, Chu Xinghe realized... it wasn't his sleeping position that was wrong... it was Wan Lin and Hu Wenhai who were acting strangely!
Chu Xinghe casually put on his clothes and followed An Lan all the way to the Dark Moon Palace.
Seeing the Holy One's excitement, An Lan sighed, "The Holy One is indeed very attentive to every move of our Dark Moon Palace."
From afar, they watched as Hu Wenhai, like a dog trainer, made a demon beast perform various actions according to his commands.
Chu Xinghe was completely stunned... At this moment, all Chu Xinghe could think was that this must be a dream...
This is a nightmare!
Hurry! Wake up from this nightmare!
But as it turns out, this was far more terrifying than a nightmare...
At this moment, Chu Xinghe's face was completely expressionless except for his indifference.
Wan Lin, right...?
Hu Wenhai, right...?
You two kept your doors locked all day long, I thought you were researching some unspeakable things... But I never expected that what you were researching really was unspeakable things!
Wouldn't it be better for you to spend that time studying human anatomy?
What's with you guys starting to study the anatomy of monsters without a second thought?
Wan Lin, you came out of seclusion after learning the Charm Art, and instead of going out and messing with your junior sisters... what the hell is the meaning of this? You're only messing with your Senior Brother Xinghe.
And Hu Wenhai... who the hell taught Hu Wenhai the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art a magical talisman)?
Chu Xinghe went straight to the Great Sage... but what happened to the Great Sage who said he didn't understand talismans?
What the heck?
You say you really don't understand talismans, that you've only studied the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art for over two hundred years, and you can't even cast it?
You're so damn incompetent...
And didn't I tell you, Great Sage, that you absolutely must not pass on this Hu Wenhai?
What the heck?
You didn't teach me?
It was taught by Wan Lin...
Wan Lin, oh Wan Lin... you really don't hold back at all when it comes to repaying kindness with enmity...
What the heck?
Did your Senior Brother Ma Liang participate too?
This time, you weren't acting alone; you were working together, weren't you?
What the heck? Elder Ji Changfeng is here too?
What the hell is all this nonsense... Elder Ji, you and the Grand Elder have already been strict enough in disciplining me with your dual teachings, and now I'm even starting to learn from you honestly...
You still don't intend to let me go, do you?
While I was resting, you joined forces with Wan Lin and his gang without a second thought... Did you even consider my feelings, Chu Xinghe?
Chu Xinghe's eyes were brimming with tears at this moment... but Chu Xinghe wasn't the only one with brimming with teary eyes.
All the arriving Savage Wilderness Tribes, led by their King of the Savage Wilderness Douding'er, were truly adorable with teary eyes...
A group of self-proclaimed professionals from the Savage Wilderness Tribes watched as Hu Wenhai of the Vast Heaven Sect skillfully controlled the demonic beasts, and at that moment, their hearts were filled with unbearable pain...
Hey... you guys from the Savage Wilderness were supposed to be professionals... and you, the Vast Heaven Sect, just cultivated something without warning... isn't that a bit too outrageous?
