Legend of Reborn Alchemist

0Lin Cheng slightly nodded his head. What Xu Yang said didn't surprise him. In fact, it wasn't just the Myriad Sword Sect. The other sects were the same as well.    

    

However, what made Lin Cheng feel strange was that since there wouldn't be any opportunities here, why were there so many people surrounding this place?    

    

"Whether there is a chance or not depends on who it is."    

    

Xu Yang said, "If it's someone with a great background like Elder Brother Lin, then the plan must be big. Naturally, the Myriad Sword Sect wouldn't give you such a chance. They wouldn't even have the time to collect their own resources. How can I give you this chance?    

    

However, it would be different for us, weak rogue cultivators or ordinary people.    

    

The resources that we need are not something that the Myriad Sword Sect would put in their eyes. In fact, any random Spirit Stone or medicinal dregs could be considered a harvest to us.    

    

Let's not even talk about those ordinary Cultivating Warrior. Even if we were to cultivate here, it would be much faster than cultivating elsewhere. This is our chance."    

    

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He suddenly realized that due to his incredible speed of growth, many of his thoughts were different from those of ordinary rogue cultivators.    

    

Just like what Xu Yang said, perhaps for those powerful cultivator, it was impossible for them to obtain sufficient resources from the Myriad Sword Sect. However, for some of the weaker resources, they were not interested in them.    

    

However, for those ordinary rogue cultivators, even Cultivating Warrior, or ordinary people, it was completely different.    

    

Because to them, they weren't picky at all. They could obtain any resources at will. To them, it was extremely important. The cultivator was not worthy of their attention. Something that couldn't even be called a resource might be a pretty good resource to them.    

    

This was because of the difference in cultivation realm. This was the difference in their thoughts. To Lin Cheng, he had seen the crisis of Dongzhou, and the fear in his heart.    

    

Lin Cheng couldn't help but sigh. He nodded and said, "Brother Xu is right. This question is indeed stupid. I was being rude. However, Brother Xu had once thought that if that devil started to make trouble... At that time, the sects in Dongzhou would be the first ones to make a move. If you all gather here, you will most likely be caught in the crossfire. "    

    

"Are you sure you'll be safe in other places?"    

    

Xu Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He said, "We naturally understand what Elder Brother Lin said. In fact, everyone here might understand this logic, but so what?    

    

If one did not have enough strength, could he escape even if he stayed somewhere else?    

    

In this place, there might still be a chance for them to increase their strength. He would have more strength to protect himself, but if he left... That would really depend on luck... If there was no opportunity... It's possible that I won't be able to improve for the rest of my life. Wouldn't it be even more unfair for me to die then?"    

    

Lin Cheng was startled.    

    

"Besides, Elder Brother Lin just said that if that devil really wanted to attack us, he might make the first move against these sects. That's only a possibility."    

    

Xu Yang continued, "But what if the devil didn't attack the sect first, but killed the innocent? If we leave at that time, wouldn't it be the same as throwing our lives away? No one could say for sure before the devil attacked us. Even those emperors and relatives of the emperor, would they be able to grasp it?    

    

They could not!    

    

At least there is one thing we can be sure of if we stay here. That is, since these sects are still stable... That means that they at least have a certain level of confidence in us staying here... If that big devil really comes, then those sects won't just watch us get slaughtered.    

    

Because the devil has already slaughtered us all. The next thing we need to do is to deal with the Myriad Sword Sect.    

    

We are so close to the Myriad Sword Sect, and our strength is too low. That devil might not even need to use a single strike to kill us. At that time, they won't be able to stay out of it even if they want to play with their reputation. They probably won't let that devil get so close to them.    

    

So, staying here might be able to save our lives. "    

    

" So that's how it is. "    

    

Lin Cheng nodded thoughtfully. He had to admit that what Xu Yang said made sense.    

    

At least in terms of common sense, whether it was the Myriad Sword Sect or any other sect, if the devil really came, they would definitely not let the devil get so close to them.    

    

Because once the Great Devil arrived here, a great war would surely break out, and there was no way to avoid it.    

    

At that time, if the Myriad Sword Sect were to be a coward, they would only be harming themselves in the end.    

    

Therefore, staying here could be considered a choice.    

    

Furthermore, who could guarantee that the devil would attack the sects of Dongzhou first? Lin Cheng didn't dare to guarantee that. In fact, he didn't even know much about that devil.    

    

If that was the case, what right did he have to persuade the others not to surround the Myriad Sword Sect?    

    

"So, the Myriad Sword Sect doesn't care about you even if you surround this place?" Lin Cheng couldn't help but ask.    

    

"In the past, we naturally wouldn't allow outsiders to surround the vicinity of the sect. However... Recently, things have changed. The people of the Myriad Sword Sect didn't chase them away anymore. " Xu Yang said, "Perhaps, they also want to kill that devil, but they can't do it now. Therefore, they might want to save more people because of this..."    

    

Lin Cheng couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He asked, "Is this the explanation given to you by the people of Myriad Sword Sect?"    

    

Xu Yang shook his head and said, "They don't need to explain. They can tell. Many people thought so."    

    

This surprised Lin Cheng. One should know that this was different from what he knew.    

    

" Do you think so too? " Lin Cheng asked.    

    

"Me?"    

    

Xu Yang shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "What do I think? Is that important? We are just rogue cultivators who have nothing. Sometimes, we don't even know where to find the resources for our next cultivation.    

    

In the past, we might be able to take on some missions to escort the merchant group. But now, there are people in panic everywhere. Furthermore, there are many rogue cultivators who are joining hands to ambush those sect disciples. They were fighting for resources and magical equipment, and so on. Small rogue cultivators like us who don't have the strength... If we were to walk around, we might lose our lives at some point in time."    

    

Lin Cheng nodded thoughtfully. He had heard about this matter from Zhou Chuan before. According to Zhou Chuan, many disciples of Unification Sect had never returned when they were out collecting resources.    

    

Some of them had already been found out. They were ambushed and killed by rogue cultivators. Their magic treasures and resources had all been taken away.    

    

As for the other missing disciples, there was no news of them. However, since they hadn't returned, it meant that they had either escaped, or they were completely unable to return.    

    

This was basically the same as what Xu Yang had said.    

    

However...    

    

Lin Cheng's spiritual sense swept across, and he faintly felt that something was not quite right in his heart.    

    

Because the actions of the Myriad Sword Sect did not match with the style of these sects that he knew.    

    

Perhaps it was because these sects were trying to win over the hearts of the people and wanted a good reputation?    

    

This thought had just flashed across Lin Cheng's mind, but it was immediately dispelled by him.    

0

    

If the Great Devil launched an attack, the Myriad Sword Sect might not be able to protect them anymore. What was the use of having a good reputation?    

    

Therefore, this wasn't the answer to the question. There were other explanations.    

    

But now, Lin Cheng couldn't understand why the Myriad Sword Sect would do this. He temporarily suppressed this question in his heart. He only said, "Then what else did the Myriad Sword Sect do besides giving you some resources? Did they teach you some cultivation techniques and combat skills?"    

    

"Haha!"    

    

Xu Yang laughed when he heard this, "Elder Brother Lin, I heard that you don't lack resources. It's already good enough that we can obtain some resources here. Isn't it too greedy to ask for cultivation techniques and combat skills?"    

    

"That's true."    

    

Lin Cheng nodded and smiled, but he looked at Xu Yang a few more times.    

    

He found out that this man had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Furthermore, there were some things that Xu Yang did not say out loud.    

    

Therefore, Lin Cheng didn't continue this topic. Instead, he asked, "How much do you know about the Myriad Sword Sect, Brother Xu?"    

    

"What do you mean?" Xu Yang asked.    

    

"For example, have you seen the elders of Myriad Sword Sect, or do you know any traces of them?" Lin Cheng asked.    

    

When Xu Yang heard this, he couldn't help but look deeply at Lin Cheng, then he asked, "Elder Brother Lin, do you want to establish a connection with the elders of Myriad Sword Sect, or do you have other plans?"    

    

Before Lin Cheng could answer, he shook his head and said, "Fine, whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me. Elder Brother Lin, I am just a rogue cultivator. How can I know the traces of those experts?"    

    

Lin Cheng smiled and nodded. He said, "Alright, this is my Transmission Jade Chip. If you have any news or any trouble, perhaps I can help you."    

    

He handed a Jade Chip with his own spiritual sense to Xu Yang because he could tell that this person had a lot of thoughts. Moreover, Xu Yang might know something, but he didn't say anything.    

    

Furthermore, even if Xu Yang really didn't know anything, Lin Cheng was willing to help him since he was willing to answer for him.    

    

"Alright!"    

    

Xu Yang also passed his Transmission Jade Chip to Lin Cheng.    

    

After that, Lin Cheng left.    

    

This time, he didn't talk to anyone else. He just walked and stopped outside of the Myriad Sword Sect's Mountain-protecting Great Array, casually looking around.    

    

However, the doubts in his heart didn't disappear. Why was the Myriad Sword Sect so unusual that so many people were gathered around the sect?    

    

If the Myriad Sword Sect really wanted to save more people, then they only needed to spread some cultivation techniques and combat skills. It was enough to help a lot of people. Why did they have to gather here like beggars? They would only be able to obtain a few pitiful resources, and those disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect wouldn't be interested in them at all.
