The System Brings Peace to the Realm, but Cannot Be Bound
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Immortal Sect inside the room all changed.
Bai Sikong's face darkened considerably, and he took a sudden step forward, urgently asking:
"What exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly!"
The follower trembled and replied incoherently:
"No... I don't know how the soldiers appeared. They suddenly emerged from all directions and surrounded the village in the blink of an eye."
Bai Sikong wanted to ask more, but suddenly a deafening battle cry came from outside, the crisp sound of clashing blades and the screams of the dying were clearly audible.
He suppressed his inner turmoil, glanced at the panicked executives before him, and shouted:
"Don't panic! These government soldiers look intimidating, but they're just paper tigers. Follow me out and fight them off; today is the perfect opportunity to start our uprising!"
Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Immortal Sect immediately recalled Great Grandmaster Bai Sikong's cultivation level.
Their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled down, and they all echoed his words, following him as he quickly rushed out of the room.
As soon as Bai Sikong stepped out of the room, he saw that the followers, who had been trained for many days, had lost all their discipline and were being overwhelmed by the soldiers, retreating in disarray with screams.
He suddenly drew his sword from his waist, leaped into the air with a light touch of his toes, and in a flash of sword light, three soldiers fell to the ground on the spot.
"Heavenly Immortal descends to earth to save all living beings and guide them to immortality!"
Bai Sikong shouted loudly, trying to calm people down, "The current tyrannical Qin Dynasty is wicked, and heaven has sent down disaster. Today we will rebel!"
As long as the imperial court is overthrown, everyone will have food to eat, a place to live, and be able to get married!
However, the situation had already deteriorated beyond repair.
Those two thousand followers, who had only recently begun training, lacked practical combat experience.
At this moment, they were scattered and disorganized by the government troops, and could only fight individually and flee in a sorry state, with no way to organize a decent counterattack.
Sun Fei caught sight of Wang An standing beside Li Da, his eyes widened instantly, and he roared angrily:
"Wang An, how dare you betray the Heavenly Immortal Sect! From this day forward, you can expect to be hunted down by our sect."
Hearing the sound, Li Da turned his head and saw Sun Fei's furious expression. A disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
"The Heavenly Immortal Sect is a heretical cult that bewitches people. You traitors and rebels deserve to be killed by everyone!"
Wang An simply abandoned darkness and embraced the light, choosing the right path.
He'll have the court's protection after this, so he's safe. But you, you should think about whether you can leave here alive today.
Wang An was startled by Sun Fei's angry shout, but then he remembered that he was already bound to the Fairness System, and his unease instantly dissipated.
In the future, he will be able to cultivate immortality or practice martial arts through the system. Even if the Heavenly Immortal Sect really comes to hunt him down, he will not be afraid, not to mention that he has the imperial court as his backer.
After clearing his mind, he looked directly at Sun Fei and said loudly, "Sun Fei, you were the one who tried to entice me to participate in the rebellion, but I didn't fall for your trick."
Besides, I have never joined the Heavenly Immortal Sect, so how can there be any talk of betrayal?
His Majesty Sagacity and benevolent, and has shared the Immortal Affinity Fairness System with all the disaster victims, so that we can not only have enough to eat and wear, but also have the opportunity to cultivate and become immortals.
Your Heavenly Immortal Sect dares to raise an army against His Majesty; this is truly treasonous and utterly heartless.
"You... you shameless traitor!"
Sun Fei was speechless with anger, trembling with rage. He pointed at Wang An, his eyes blazing with fury, but a question lingered in his mind:
What exactly is the Immortal Affinity Fairness System"that Wang An mentioned?
Bai Sikong, who was not far away, heard the conversation clearly and instantly realized that Wang An had leaked the whereabouts of the Heavenly Immortal Sect. His face suddenly darkened and his eyes flashed with killing intent.
His aura solidified, and his Movement Method suddenly unfolded, causing him to pounce towards Li Da and Wang An like a black shadow.
He was determined to capture the kingpin first, and incidentally kill Wang An to vent his anger.
When Li Da saw Bai Sikong rushing towards him with murderous intent, he was initially startled, but quickly regained his composure.
He is no longer the Grandmaster Realm he once was. Since he began cultivating the Dao Seed Martial Dao System, although he has not yet broken through to the Divine Sea Realm due to the short time that has passed, he has stepped into the Half-Step Divine Sea Realm.
At this point, their cultivation level might not be weaker than that of Great Grandmaster, and even if they were no match for him, they would have no problem protecting themselves and escaping.
Having made up his mind, Li Da immediately ordered his Secret Guard to advance and surround and kill the group of experts from the Heavenly Immortal Sect.
He then drew his long sword from his waist, leaped into the air, and charged straight at Bai Sikong.
When Bai Sikong first saw that Li Da dared to take the initiative to fight, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He assumed that the other party was courting death and planned to kill him with one sword.
But the moment the swords clashed, his expression changed drastically. He discovered that his opponent's strength was only slightly inferior to his own, and the powerful force from the sword made his arm go numb.
Before he could even process his thoughts, Li Da's longsword came slashing down again with the wind.
The two instantly became entangled in combat, the sounds of swords clashing and striking each other incessantly, neither able to gain the upper hand for a time.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the Heavenly Immortal Sect members had already been routed by the government troops and were fleeing in disarray.
Even the higher-ups of the Heavenly Immortal Sect were surrounded by the Secret Guard, and those with slightly weaker cultivation levels fell into pools of blood in moments.
Bai Sikong glanced at the battlefield and understood that the uprising had failed completely, with most of the core members of the sect lost, leaving them severely weakened.
If he couldn't kill Li Da, and this stalemate continued, he feared he would be trapped and die here.
Without hesitation, Bai Sikong swung his sword, unleashing a sharp Sword Qi that sent Li Da flying. He then leaped away into the distance, shouting loudly:
"Everyone, retreat quickly! As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild."
Seeing their leader retreat first, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Immortal Sect disregarded everything else and quickly followed suit, using their movement Movement Method.
Seeing this, the ordinary followers below lost all will to fight, threw down their weapons, and tried to flee.
But the soldiers had already surrounded the village, leaving them with no way to escape, and they were eventually killed one by one.
Three days later, in the somber atmosphere of a remote village living room, Bai Sikong looked at the five remaining high-ranking members of the Heavenly Immortal Sect and asked:
"Have you investigated thoroughly what this so-called Fairness System actually is?"
Sun Fei replied cautiously, "Master, I have investigated and found out."
I've heard that the Fairness System has an endless supply of food, and even cultivation Cultivation Method. Once people are bound to it, they can use Energy Points to buy food.
My subordinate managed to obtain a System Seed and attempt to bind it, but was completely unable to successfully bind the system.
Now, thanks to this system, the famine victims in Wu'an Commandery have been relieved of their hunger and have settled down. We have no chance to start an uprising."
"This is outrageous!"
Bai Sikong slammed his fist on the table, his anger surging. "Why did this Fairness System fall into the hands of the tyrannical Qin? Does anyone among you still have the System Seed?"
"Master, I have a System Seed here." Li Jing exchanged a System Seed from the System Store had just bound to the system and handed it over.
Bai Sikong took the System Seed and tried to bind it, but the System Seed instantly turned into a wisp of light and dissipated.
He stared at his empty palms, his face ashen, and roared:
"This Fairness System must be a monster! Even the tyrannical Qin Dynasty could bind itself to a system, so why can't we, who take it upon ourselves to save the world, do the same?"
Sun Fei and the others quickly echoed, filled with righteous indignation. "What the leader says is absolutely right!"
The Fairness System is by no means benevolent. If it weren't for demonic entities, how could we, as representatives of Heavenly Immortal beings, not even be qualified to be bound to it?
Li Jing verbally agreed, but inwardly she was in turmoil.
She was the only person on site who could bind to the system, and she was both shocked and uneasy, not daring to reveal anything.
Bai Sikong took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and his gaze swept over the crowd, filled with resentment:
"Wu'an Commandery has been stabilized by this demonic Fairness System, so we have no more disaster victims to exploit, and we no longer have the opportunity to start an uprising."
But the cause of overthrowing the tyrannical Qin Dynasty must never cease!
I've decided to travel to other disaster-stricken counties to preach and look for opportunities to start an uprising. I refuse to believe that the entire Qin State is bound to the system.
Sun Fei, Li Jing, and the others bowed in unison and replied in a deep voice, "Our leader is wise; we are willing to follow him to the death."
