Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Chapter 683: Chapter 684: Yes, Senior Sister. Understood, Senior Sister.

Yunmeng Marsh.

The conflicts among the various demon clans continued, but the plan had reached Cui Hao’s final step—changing the demons’ thinking and goals by manipulating the purity of wish-power.

The focus of the conflicts had shifted too. If a method could provide better resources, then naturally the goal became competing against the demons who controlled those resources.

Because the pressure from the Yunze God was immense, the demons could only restrain all violent means.

But that didn’t mean everything was safe, or that everyone was enduring.

The difference between restraint and losing restraint was merely a single thought.

Without any restrictions, it was only a matter of wanting to or not.

All of Yunmeng Marsh continued to operate as usual, but at this moment, the marsh was like a powder keg.

This powder keg was naturally no good for people—they would inevitably get caught in the crossfire.

But Cui Hao no longer had time to employ further measures. Or rather, his senior sister’s mission was the final measure he needed to deploy.

Igniting the powder keg early might also minimize the collateral damage.

Then Zheng Zhaoling would step in to suppress things, and the impact on humans might be completely quelled. What remained would be the demons’ infighting.

Chen Baiqing stood on the branch of a towering tree, with Cui Hao, Lu Lingyi, and other Xuanqing Heavenly Sect cultivators close behind.

Although nominally Chen Baiqing had also subdued some Golden Core demons of Yunmeng Marsh—through both coercion and inducement—they were only kept on the perimeter to block during this operation.

These demons were extremely cunning—fierce when winning, and smooth runners when losing.

Expecting them to scout the situation would only lead to instant exposure.

Chen Baiqing’s gaze fixed on a dark cave dwelling ahead, then she asked softly:

"Are they all grouped together?"

"Yes." Wang Chuan nodded in response. "They’ve probably sensed something. They’re likely preparing quite a few measures inside, planning a desperate counterattack."

"Evil cultivators who aren’t alert are already dead." Cui Hao stood nearby and spoke with a smile, then continued, "Senior sister, this group of evil cultivators has probably made plenty of preparations. What’s our plan?"

Chen Baiqing raised her hand lightly. The Qingtian Treasure Ring on her wrist emitted a faint green glow, and she gently gripped it in her palm.

She said calmly, "I’ll handle containing them and dividing the battlefield. You prepare your divine abilities and flatten this place directly. We won’t test their traps ourselves—we’ll force them out and kill them."

"You’ve all confirmed the targets. Prioritize capturing the useful ones. If you can’t capture them, prioritize killing them."

"Wait for my signal to act."

Lu Lingyi and the other Xuanqing Heavenly Sect cultivators responded together: "Understood."

"Wait, senior sister." Cui Hao immediately spoke up. "Isn’t this commotion a bit too big? Can Zheng Zhaoling handle the suppression? And Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s divine abilities are highly recognizable, right?"

"What if Zheng Zhaoling’s situation goes wrong and she chooses to stop us? We might not be able to escape from her."

"Senior sister, you don’t actually think I have any real friendship with Zheng Zhaoling, do you?"

Hearing this, Chen Baiqing glanced at him, looked Cui Hao over with a strange expression, and slowly said:

"Naturally, I wasn’t counting on it."

"Then senior sister, this is..."

Before Cui Hao could finish, a violent demonic energy eruption burst from the distant west. He looked back to see dust and smoke rising into the sky, with blood-red demonic energy mixed within.

Chen Baiqing said calmly:

"A diversion—the most basic tactic. The fire in Yunmeng Marsh has been stoked enough. The principle that ’the law cannot punish the masses’ applies to demons too, not just humans. All that’s missing is a spark."

"When there’s fire everywhere, one place burning a little higher isn’t so noticeable."

Cui Hao froze, and seeing Chen Baiqing about to leave, he immediately challenged:

"What about the mortals? Does senior sister not care about them at all?"

Chen Baiqing’s figure paused. She looked at Cui Hao and said:

"If you want the truth, then no, I don’t really care."

Hearing this, Cui Hao’s eyes filled with disbelief. Looking at Chen Baiqing’s familiar face, he suddenly felt extremely unfamiliar, while also deeply believing that his third senior sister would never do such a thing.

Although he knew his third senior sister’s general personality, Cui Hao didn’t think she would be this cold.

Seeing Cui Hao’s stiff expression, Chen Baiqing showed a satisfied look and smiled slowly:

"But I know Master cares, and you care."

"Master cares about me, so what Master cares about is what I care about."

"Two days ago, I already sent a letter to Zheng Zhaoling in your name, explaining our operation and asking her to prepare in advance—to have people move closer to the territories of the great demons. Places with more people won’t see fighting, like your Huaze Village."

"Zheng Zhaoling also replied to me. Two Mahayana-realm cultivators from Yunmeng Pavilion have also been assigned to key locations."

"I’ve made all the preparations I can. Some people may still be affected, but the things you’ve set up will still require a major battle after we leave."

"Better to do it early, better to fight when we’re prepared—and fewer people will be affected."

Hearing this, Cui Hao finally let out a heavy breath and complained:

"Third senior sister is playing with my fragile heart."

"This is to let you understand the feeling of delayed information." Chen Baiqing gave a cold hmph. "You were doing all those things, and only slowly reported them to me after I was already handling them. Doesn’t feel good, does it?"

"This is to make you more alert next time! If there’s a next time, I won’t teach you this gently."

Cui Hao could only nod with an aggrieved expression:

"I understand."

Chen Baiqing’s gaze returned to the cave ahead. With this kind of storm rising, that group of evil cultivators might not actually be able to stay put.

While observing, she also lightly teased:

"Also, I underestimated you. I thought you’d have to reason with Zheng Zhaoling, but she agreed readily without any questions, doing exactly what you asked the moment she heard it."

"Maybe I should send you to teach Second Senior Brother later. Who knows, we might get another person out of it."

Cui Hao quickly shook his head: "Senior sister can’t say that. My thoughts are perfectly clean."

Chen Baiqing calculated the time in her head and responded:

"So it’s Zheng Zhaoling then?"

Cui Hao replied, "That can’t be it either. She just thinks I’m pure-hearted and a good person."

"Heh." Chen Baiqing chuckled. "Then you at least have self-awareness, knowing she’s not interested in you. I thought you didn’t even realize that."

Cui Hao’s expression grew even more aggrieved. He was about to speak when he heard Chen Baiqing’s cold, decisive voice:

"Act!"

The next moment, three divine abilities shot brilliant light straight into the cave.

The full power of the divine abilities erupted, directly flattening the mountains on both sides of the cave.

The cave itself was completely blown open.

Chen Baiqing’s cold gaze swept over, and she could see that a ritual formation had already been set up inside the cave—twenty-seven people in total, currently using their spiritual energy to sustain the formation and resist the impact of the divine abilities.

It seemed this group of evil cultivators had no intention of fleeing.

They wanted to counterattack right here.

Chen Baiqing gripped the Qingtian Treasure Ring tightly:

"Junior brother, fall back. Find a safe place for yourself."

Cui Hao immediately nodded and responded:

"Yes, senior sister. Understood, senior sister."
