Chapter 457: The Eve of the War
What about me?
Lin Ye asked this question not on a whim, but after careful consideration.
When he was inexplicably able to teleport to another world at the beginning, he just felt that he was a lucky man, just like the protagonists in novels who suddenly got a golden finger.
But thinking back carefully on everything that happened to him, it was as if there was an invisible hand pushing him forward.
This feeling became even stronger after meeting Lao Shi.
That's why Lin Ye wondered if he had some kind of identity or background?
For example, the reincarnation of some great man?
If that's the case, then everything can be explained clearly.
"What are your backgrounds?"
Bai Jinye didn't expect Lin Ye to ask this question. He stared at Lin Ye for a while and suddenly chuckled: "You don't think you are the reincarnation of some big shot, do you?"
"Is it impossible?" Lin Ye asked back.
"Then which big shot do you think you are the reincarnation of?" Bai Jinye asked back.
Bai Jinye's words really stumped Lin Ye.
Taoism and Buddha?
It's impossible. I practice martial arts, Taoism and Buddhism, which don't match the identities of these two people.
Then the Martial Ancestor can naturally be ruled out.
Apart from these three, are there any other important figures who died?
Lin Ye scratched his head, it seemed that he was thinking too much.
"The last question, I have a space that can teleport back and forth between the two worlds. There is also a clock in that space. Do you know what it is?"
The teleportation space was Lin Ye’s biggest secret, and later on only Lao Shi knew about it.
But since he had asked Bai Jinye so many questions this time, Lin Ye believed that Bai Jinye could guess that he must have some way to travel back and forth between the real world and the underworld.
In this case, I might as well take this opportunity to ask clearly.
"There are many treasures that can be transported between the two worlds. You are not the only one, but you are the first one who can be transported to the underworld."
"Then... is it possible that those treasures that traveled to other worlds have other uses?"
Lin Ye still didn't plan to reveal the secret that he could pause the time of two worlds.
"Of course there are. This kind of treasure that can teleport between the two worlds has some special energy, but it's nothing."
Obviously, Bai Jinye didn't take this kind of treasure seriously. The third pawnshop could have traveled through the worlds.
"Okay, I understand. Then the best..."
"How many questions do you have?" Bai Jinye was a little impatient.
"That's really the last question." Lin Ye rubbed his nose innocently: "How long have you lived?"
Lin Ye asked this question out of his curiosity about Bai Jinye. Wu Zu was already a person from the primitive period, and Bai Jinye could make a deal with Wu Zu. This Bai Jinye was definitely an old monster.
It is even possible that they will live longer than the gods incarnated by the will of heaven and earth.
“No comment!”
Bai Jinye said coldly: "The agreement has been fulfilled. Remember to live longer. The older you are, the purer your soul will be."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jinye’s figure disappeared from the spot.
"Who is that?"
Lin Ye muttered, this guy is too arrogant, and he seems to be getting more and more innocent as he gets older. If he were to die, he would dissipate his soul and let this guy get nothing.

Capital city!
Bustling with traffic!
Even with the return of the practitioners from Tianwai Tian, the central location of the capital was not affected at all. Many wealthy people even felt that the capital was safer and bought houses in it, causing the housing prices in the capital to increase several times.
The capital city is indeed safe.
There have been news reports of practitioners from the outer world causing trouble in other cities. Although they were later handled by the appraisal institute, they also brought fear to the common people. However, this has never happened in the capital.
Tianwaitian also seemed to know that the capital was the bottom line of the appraisal institute, and no cultivator had ever caused trouble in the capital.
Headquarters of Beijing Appraisal Institute.
It was still the same round table, and the same senior executives from the appraisal institute were present.
"The Tianwai Tian should be planning something. According to the information we have investigated, many sects in the Tianwai Tian have been in close contact during this period."
Although Tianwaitian has also begun to learn to use modern technology products and can use mobile phones and telephones, perhaps because of habit or the need for confidentiality, they often still use their original methods of communication.
Transmit sound over thousands of miles or use people to deliver messages.
Compared with the difficulty of transmitting sound over thousands of miles, it is obviously more reliable to use people.
The appraisal center has arranged people in various places to keep an eye on the Tianwaitian sect on the nearby mountains. According to the reactions of these spies, the leaders of these sects have often gathered together , and they are obviously plotting something.
If there are only sects around one city, it may be that these sects just want to divide their respective territories and forces, but if this happens in multiple cities, it means that the entire Tianwai Tian is going to take action.
The short-lived peace is likely to be broken.
“How are the arrangements made by people in various places?”
"Each city has already laid out its defense system in advance, but we are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and our mid-level combat power is not as good as the enemy's. If a full-scale war really breaks out , we can only defend key cities according to the plan."
When the all-out war with Tianwaitian broke out, the Appraisal Institute began to conduct strategic simulations very early on and set up a special department to simulate various situations that might be encountered after the war, and constantly updated the strategic simulations based on the information updates from Tianwaitian.
But the results of each deduction were not optimistic, and the appraisal institute’s winning rate was less than 10%.
To be honest, this deduction result makes people despair. However, the chief elder of the appraisal institute did not choose to negotiate with Tianwaitian because of this. Except for the people at the table, other senior executives of the appraisal institute did not understand why the chief elder was so determined.
But the Great Elder has absolute authority in the appraisal, and the senior members of the appraisal institute will not oppose the Great Elder even if they have doubts.
"Remember one thing. We would rather lose the city than harm civilians. Otherwise, there will be no difference between our appraisal institute and the Tianwaitian sects."
The Great Elder opened his squinting eyes, and the other people present quickly agreed.
Although they knew that according to the order of the Great Elder, most of the city would be occupied by Tianwai Tian.
"Great Elder, Mr. Lu wants you to come over."
The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and when the senior executives saw the man who walked in, there was a look of surprise on their faces.
"Okay, you guys discuss the next meeting."
The Great Elder sat back in the wheelchair. The man walked behind the Great Elder and pushed the wheelchair. After greeting several senior executives with his eyes, he walked out.
"Mr. Lu is coming out?"
Several senior executives looked at each other. What surprised them was not the appearance of the man, but the gentleman the man was talking about.
In the appraisal institute, the only person who can be called Mr. is Lu Songling.
When these senior executives joined the appraisal institute, Lu Songling no at the appraisal institute's headquarters, and apart from the great elder and several disciples he had trained, he no longer met anyone else in the appraisal institute.
But these senior executives knew very well that if anyone could solve the current predicament of the appraisal institute, it was only Lu Songling.
Although some people in the appraisal institute have recently discussed that Rao Cheng Lin Ye is capable of carrying the banner of the appraisal institute, they know in their hearts that Lin Ye showed up too late.
If Lin Ye is given enough time, they have no doubt that Lin Ye can grow to the level of carrying the banner of the appraisal institute, but what they lack most now is time.
Now, we can only place our hopes on Lu Songling.
In the alley yard.
The elder looked at Lu Songling who was still reading a book at leisure and said with a smile: "It seems that you are sitting on the Diaoyutai."
"You can't stay at Diaoyutai for long. I called you here to say goodbye to you."
Lu Songling put down the book in his hand. The old man was stunned when he heard this: "Is it so serious? Didn't we agree that when the time comes, we can just find one or two outstanding birds to scare them away."
Before Tianwaitian returned, Lu Songling and the old man had designed a plan for Tianwaitian.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gradually recovering. Lu Songling and the old man know that Tianwaitian will definitely return. After Tianwaitian returns, the current stability will inevitably be disrupted. Only by making Tianwaitian feel shocked and fearful can the society continue to be stable.
According to the plan, they would first allow the people from Tianwai Tian to occupy those mountains and rivers. The major sects from Tianwai Tian would definitely not be content to just guard the mountain gates, and they would definitely want to expand their influence.
And just when Tianwaitian was taking action, Lu Songling took action and killed several large sects that stood out with thundering means.
In this way, at least the appraisal institute and the common people can gain ten years or even longer of peace. By that time, Lin Ye, the new generation leader of the appraisal institute, will have grown up.
"If I don't show you my best skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to shock the world beyond my reach." Lu Songling smiled slightly, his tone was relaxed as if he was talking about a very easy little thing.
"After I leave, if Lin Ye comes to the capital, let him come into this study. I left something for him."
The old man looked a little hesitant: "If it really doesn't work, negotiate with Tianwaitian first and delay for a while."
"You must be joking. Peace can only be achieved by talking about it with strength. If we talk about it without strength, the history of the past hundred years is there for us to see." Lu Songling knew that the old man was just emotionally unstable for a moment, which was why he said such a thing.
The old man was silent. He knew how unrealistic what he had just said was. If he did not show his strength that could shock the Tianwai Tian sects, how could the Tianwai Tian sects negotiate? Even if they negotiated, it would only be a one-sided plunder.
The weak are not qualified to negotiate.
This point is clearly written in modern history. Anyone who has studied history knows it, let alone a wise man like this old man.
"When are you going to do it?"
"The moment the Heaven Beyond Heaven launched its offensive, after all... we were forced to fight back."
…
…
Beidaishan!
The current location of the mountain gate of the Daluo Sect.
At this moment, the Daraju Sect was brightly lit, and a group of young people walked out of the main hall.
"I'm going back to get some beauty sleep. Don't call me early tomorrow!" Yao Lianyi, dressed in a sexy black leather jacket and leather pants, chose to leave the team directly, yawning out of boredom.
"Saint Yao, this is not appropriate. Your sect leader has already agreed to join this plan. We are responsible for blocking the best young people in the appraisal institute. Now we should discuss our respective goals so that we can act separately tomorrow."
Yao Kun called out to Yao Lianyi. This plan was initiated by their Dharuo Sect, and the Yinyue Sect was also a participant. Seven of the ten major sects chose to join this time. The Zhongjian Sect would not participate in the other three, and the other two sects would naturally not participate because they had grudges with their Dharuo Sect.
"Did I say I wouldn't participate?" Yao Lianyi asked back, and then smiled and said, "As far as I know, the most powerful young person in the appraisal institute should be Lin Ye from Raocheng."
The Appraisal Institute was trying to find out the news about the major sects in Tianwai Tian, and the major sects in Tianwai Tian were also investigating the situation in the Appraisal Institute. Naturally, Yao Kun and others also knew about Lin Ye mentioned by Yao Lianyi.
"That's right, then let's start from Raocheng!" said a burly young man.
"It's just Lin Ye. If we all go there, wouldn't that be a bit of an overreaction?"
"My opinion is just the opposite. Lin Ye has a very high reputation in the appraisal institute. It is said that he is the idol of the younger generation of the appraisal institute. If we kill Lin Yebei, the momentum of the appraisal institute will instantly plummet to the bottom." A man expressed another opinion.
Yao Kun frowned and said, "Brother Sun, I agree with killing Lin Ye, but I think we don't need to go together. It's better for us to choose our own targets."
“Why don’t we go together?” Yao Lianyi suddenly interrupted, “Lin Ye is a symbol of hope for the Institute. If we capture Lin Ye, the Institute will definitely send people to rescue him. Then we can kill more geniuses from the Institute.”
Yao Lianyi's eyes flickered, and Yao Kun had a genuine guilty look on his face after hearing that. He said, "Saint Yao, I want to apologize to you. I saw that you were unwilling to participate in the discussion, and I thought you didn't want to go to war with the appraisal institute. I misunderstood you."
In fact, it was not only Yao Kun who had such an idea just now. Several other people present had the same idea. The reason for this idea was not only because of Yao Lianyi's words just now, but also because of Yao Lianyi's previous behavior.
As the Holy Maiden of the Hidden Moon Sect, Yao Lianyi's every move naturally attracted much attention.
After the Yin Yue Sect returned to the real world, Yao Lianyi often went to those cities and even became a so-called video influencer, broadcasting her life in the Yin Yue Sect to ordinary people.
The older generation may not be aware of Yao Lianyi's actions, but their generation has naturally started to use mobile phones and the Internet, and naturally came across Yao Lianyi. In their view, Yao Lianyi's behavior shows that she has no hostility towards the appraisal institute.
Because Yao Lianyi's live broadcast allowed ordinary people to see the strict hierarchy and rules of their Tianwaitian sect, many young people who originally wanted to join their Tianwaitian sect gave up the idea.
But now it seems that they were overthinking it.
Maybe Yao Lianyi didn’t care about these things at all, and just simply wanted to show off her saintly life.
After they agreed to go to Rao City early tomorrow morning, they dispersed. Yao Lianyi looked at the backs of Yao Kun and the others as they left, and a quirky smile appeared on her pretty face: "I wonder what your expressions will be when you find out tomorrow that Lin Ye is Yu Long. It will definitely be very funny."
