North State, White Bone Mountain

Dear brothers, dear Taoist friends, our master and disciple have come to North State. We’re not here to harm or plunder you. We’re here to help you. My master, Void Achieving, is incredibly powerful. We aim to become the biggest group of bandits in North State. You will become the greatest bandits in North State if you follow us and grow stronger. Together, we will bring greatness back.

We have a plan. In three years, we will eliminate all other bandits in North State. And in five years, we will…

Lin Jiang stood before the bandits of White Bone Mountain and gave a speech. His captivating words stirred up their desires.

Of course, there were also members of the Lin family observing their expressions. If they weren’t excited by Lin Jiang’s words, it meant they were clever. Clever people need to be eliminated. The Lin family doesn’t need too many clever people; having our own clever people is enough.

Lin Jiang talked until his mouth was dry. He stopped, waved his hand, and a large amount of food and drink was brought over. Bandits like to eat and drink heartily. We face difficulties together and enjoy good fortune together.

"Uncle, I’ve written down their names. There are fifteen in total, and they’re all clever. They won’t be swayed by your influence. How do we get rid of them?"

"When the time comes to attack other bandits, we’ll send them as the vanguard. They’ll always be at the forefront of every battle, fearless and unwavering."

Lin Jiang said. Directly getting rid of them would be too foolish. We need to be more subtle. For example, we can use them as cannon fodder.

"Yes, Uncle."

"Remember to call me Martial Uncle from now on, we are now like brothers."

Lin Jiang said. We can no longer use the Lin family identity. Lin Batian has changed his name to Long Xiaotian directly, and the others can choose their own names. They can call themselves whatever they want, as long as they keep their talents and fame hidden.

And in the future, White Bone Mountain will be renamed Xiaotian Mountain. Lin Jiang doesn’t like this name at all and wonders what Lin Batian was thinking. He guesses that Lin Batian probably doesn’t know that there is a dog called the Howling Dog, otherwise he wouldn’t have chosen this name.

Half a month later, the group from White Bone Mountain, now called Xiaotian Mountain, under the leadership of Lin Batian, starts to conquer a group of thieves who have taken over dozens of villages. They are even working with a big trading company and are becoming more powerful than White Bone Mountain.

Surprise attacks are no longer possible. As soon as White Bone Mountain starts to fight, the whole North State will know that a group of powerful people has arrived. The famous White Bone King has been defeated in battle.

The two sides engage in an open fight, a fair and honorable battle. Forget about strategies and formations, these bandits are not capable of that. It’s mainly a showdown between skilled fighters.

Lin Batian takes the lead and with his powerful skills, he kills the leader of the other side. Lin Jiang and the others don’t have to fight for long before they start cleaning up the battlefield.

········

"According to the intelligence, there are still seven major bandit groups and over a dozen medium-sized bandit groups in the North State. They have all joined forces and there are traces of the You State trading company. They are quick to react, and our Xiaotian Mountain will face a counterattack."

Just after defeating two big bandits, the situation in North State suddenly changed. The bandits who used to fight against each other have now united and caused a lot of commotion. People sent by Lin Batian have already gathered information.

"I’m not afraid of them joining forces. It’s actually convenient. Let’s get rid of all of them at once."

"We are no match for them right now. We only have less than five thousand people, while they have at least fifty to sixty thousand. Among them, there are many skilled fighters, and the powerful bandit leader, Soul Changing, is there. If You State’s merchants intervene, Void Achieving will surely attack."

"It doesn’t matter. I will take action."

Lin Batian still had full confidence. The remaining forces of the four major factions have arrived. At least two Void Achieving and five to six Soul Changing fighters will be there. Their strength is enough.

"Since the head of the family is so confident, then let’s not worry. Let’s stick to the original plan and send people to deal with small-scale bandits, conquer nearby villages, and force them to pay tribute."

"Alright, Lin Die will take Lin Wu’s Aurora falcon to monitor the movements of those bandits. Lin Chaosheng will lead a group to subdue the small-scale bandits. Lin Chaoyun and his team will collect the tribute. Lin Wu will be responsible for the construction of Xiaotian Mountain and needs to build the cultivation city as soon as possible."

Lin Batian nodded and assigned tasks to everyone. They all left to carry out their duties.

Lin Jiang took charge of the construction of Xiaotian City. It wasn’t an easy task. If it was in Yun State or the central region, it would be simple. Just hire independent cultivators if you have money, or conscript ordinary people if you don’t. Basically, there is no shortage of manpower or materials.

In North State, it’s not possible to find independent farmers like here. We can only find villagers. Even though the villagers are not weak, we still need professionals to build a city.

Moreover, the materials in North State are very scarce. Building a city as a cultivator is not as simple as piling up some buildings. The city walls need to be able to set up formations, and the buildings inside the city need to be built according to the spiritual veins and formations. Lin Jiang is also confused.

It took Lin Jiang several days to gradually figure things out. He dug out talented people from the captured bandits, worked with Lin Chaosheng, and after defeating small-scale bandits, he captured more prisoners to work as laborers and help them build the city, slowly getting back on track.

The progress of the united offensive by the North State Bandits is very slow. After all, they belong to dozens of different forces. It is not an easy task to gather them together.

So, after waiting for about three months, the North State Bandits are almost fully integrated. They are coming towards Xiaotian Mountain with great force. Before the people arrived, news of Lin Die has already been trickling back.

"There are at least a hundred ways to defeat them."

Lin Jiang said in his heart. This group of bandits is just a bunch of misfits. Even though their strength may not be comparable to his, Lin Jiang believes he can easily defeat them.

For example, using diversion tactics, luring the enemy deep, and so on. Many strategies have already formed in Lin Jiang’s mind. If he can drag them on for a while, their short-lived alliance will fall apart.

Of course, Lin Batian doesn’t need tactics. During these three months, the Lin family not only swept away the small-scale bandits around, but also started providing trade platforms for some businesses. Lin Batian also called for help.

Lin Batian led the soldiers from Xiaotian Mountain out of the city to prepare for battle. There were about five to six thousand people from Xiaotian Mountain, but the Lin family only had less than a hundred people. Including the captured soldiers, there were five Nascent Soul cultivators and one bird, while Xiao Lingyue was the only Soul Changing cultivator.

On the other hand, the North State Bandits had an impressive force of around sixty to seventy thousand soldiers. They had nine Soul Changing cultivators and more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, making them appear even more formidable.

"As expected, there are Void Achieving cultivators. Damn it, how did Void Achieving end up in North State?"

Someone among the North State Bandits cursed, saying that Void Achieving cultivators were nearly at the peak of the cultivation world. They were respected and powerful wherever they went, so why would they come to North State, a place known for its poverty?

"We can’t handle Void Achieving, even if the nine of us join forces. Let’s ask for help."

"Please."

After some discussion, they decided to hire someone to take action. They had already made arrangements and negotiated the price beforehand. The cost would differ depending on whether the person was simply observing or engaging in combat.

Now that they were certain Lin Batian possessed Void Achieving cultivation, they couldn’t afford to skimp on the payment. They decided to let the hired person take action.

"Taking it slow is boring. Let’s start the fight."

Lin Batian saw the opposing formation for a long time without taking action, then he directly moved first and flew towards the opponent.

Before the person even arrived, someone flew out from the opposing formation and stopped Lin Batian. The North State Bandits immediately shouted. Follow me and kill them, break through the White Bone Mountain, and make a fortune!

The nine people were extremely fast and instantly arrived on this side of Xiaotian Mountain. But on this side of Xiaotian Mountain, a long sword appeared and sliced through the air, aiming at the nine people.

"Achieving the Void"

"And also achieving the Void"

When the nine people saw this, they cried out in despair. They still didn’t understand why the enemy also had the ability to achieve the Void. Was achieving the Void not valuable anymore?

"Attack, kill them"

Lin Die had also given the order, and a group of people rushed out.

"Let’s also take action"

In the sky, Wei Dao from Taixu Sect and Tian Li from Infinite Palace appeared and spoke to the remaining members of the four sects. The Lin family is going bankrupt, and they are also very poor. These people in front of them are not North State Bandits, but a group of fat sheep in their eyes.

The massacre started almost completely one-sided.
