Chapter 1250 The Plan to Take Down Player Yuan
"So, do you already have a plan for taking down Player Yuan?" Zheng Yanwu asked Xiong Lu.
"I do, and it's very simple." Xiong Lu nodded, and he continued, "We will gather as many Exiles as we can and work together to deal with Player Yuan."
"..."
Wilson Junior let out a sigh. "While that might sound straightforward, you don't have an Exile, do you? So, you might not be aware that Exiles don't typically cooperate with one another."
"Junior is right, Xiong Lu," Gu Banqiao agreed, "Exiles won't work with other Exiles. Do you know why? Because only one Exile may complete the Supreme Heaven's Legacy, there's no reason for them to help each other. In fact, they rather kill each other to lessen the competition."
"What the hell? If that's the case, they will never work with each other!" Fiery Queen exclaimed.
"What's our plan now, Xiong Lu?"
"The plan remains." Xiong Lu calmly replied.
"Huh? Didn't you hear what I just said?" Wilson Junior frowned, and he repeated, "Exiles won't work with each other! It's the last thing they'll do!"
"I heard what you said. They won't collaborate with each other because they're rivals, correct?" Xiong Lu inquired with a grave expression. "But what if there were an Exile capable of threatening them all? Won't they work with each other to deal with that threat?"
Despite his lack of knowledge about the Asura Clan, Xiong Lu could discern that Xiao Hua was a formidable presence solely by observing Zhaohui's extreme reaction to her presence.
"An Exile capable of threatening them all? Where did you get such information?" Fiery Queen asked.
"I witnessed her effortlessly slaughter a Peak Spirit King as if it were child's play," Xiong Lu recounted, his tone carrying a weight of awe and dread.
The others swallowed nervously upon seeing his frightened expression, this being their first time seeing such an emotion from Xiong Lu.
"So what if this Exile is a little strong? I doubt it will make the others work together." Gu Banqiao sighed.
"Tell your Exiles that this particular Exile is from the Asura Clan and see how they react. If they show even the slightest hint of fear, ask them if they would be willing to work with others to take her down. We can postpone the meeting until you have received an answer." Xiong Lu said.
"Asura Clan? Who are they?" Someone asked.
"I don't know." Xiong Lu shook his head.
"Alright, I will speak with my Exile now. I'll be back soon." Wilson Junior said before disappearing from the room.
The others with an Exile followed suit.
"For those without an Exile, I think I can help you find one." Xiong Lu said to them.
"What?! Is that true?!" Fiery Queen exclaimed in excitement.
Xiong Lu nodded and continued, "Exiles have a unique aura to them, so we can let those who already have an Exile search for them. Once they find an Exile, those without one can try and make a contract with them."
"Seriously…? Will that really work?" Everyone swallowed nervously.
"We won't know until we try it, but it's theoretically possible. We'll know soon enough."
While Xiong Lu and the others waited for those who left to speak with their Exile to return, Bai Lihua tried to contact Yuan.
Unsurprisingly, Yuan did not respond, so Bai Lihua called the Demon Sealing Faction instead.
"This is the Demon Sealing Faction, who am I speaking to?" A mature voice resounded from the other end of Bai Lihua's phone.
"I am Bai Lihua from Eternal Lotuses, and I need to speak with Yuan immediately."
"Oh, Miss Bai. I have heard about you. I am Meifeng, the Head Caretaker. Unfortunately, Yuan is occupied with Cultivation Online
— he has been for the past six months. Though, he should be returning soon. If you have a message, I can pass it on to him for you."
"I wanted to warn him about the Ten Great Families. They have decided to work together to fight Yuan— and they will be going after his 'Exile'." Bai Lihua said.
"The Ten Great Families, huh... What a nuisance," Meifeng muttered with a heavy sigh, and she continued, "Thank you for letting me know, Miss Bai. I will let Yuan know when he comes back."
"Considering Yuan's strength, I may be pointlessly worrying about this, but the Ten Great Families are not to be trifled with." Bai Lihua sighed.
Meanwhile, inside Cultivation Online, Wilson Junior asked his Exile, who was a skinny man with a murderous aura.
"That's the gist of it, Wu Wenjun."
"You want me to work with other Exiles? Fuck no. I'd rather kill all of them— No, I will kill any Exile I see!" Wu Wenjun declared in disdain.
Wilson Junior frowned slightly before uttering the magic words that Xiong Lu taught him, "What do you know of the Asura Clan?"
"W-What did you just say...?" A look of sheer terror instantly washed over Wu Wenjun's face upon hearing the name of the Asura Clan.
'S-Seriously? It works? Just what the hell is this Asura Clan?' Wilson Junior was taken aback when he witnessed Wu Wenjun's terrified face, as he had never seen him display such intense emotions before.
"Junior! W-Where in heaven did you hear that name?!" Wu Wenjun inquired urgently.
"I heard it from a friend, and there is an Exile out there that is from this Asura Family." Wilson Junior explained.
partake in the Supreme Heaven's Legacy! In fact, they have been barred from participating since the first day they were banished!"
"N-No… That's impossible!" Wu Wenjun exclaimed with a look of disbelief, "There's no way the Asura Clan would be allowed to partake in the Supreme Heaven's Legacy! In fact, they have been barred from participating since the first day they were banished!"
"Unfortunately, my friend encountered this Exile from the Asura Clan, and she was extremely powerful, hence why he wants to gather Exiles to fight her together."
"Is it really possible for the Asura Clan to partake in the Supreme Heaven's Legacy? I've been out of the Primordial Realm for 10,000 years, so things could've changed since then…" Wu Wenjun mumbled to himself with a solemn expression.
"If that's indeed the situation, then it's imperative that we unite to eliminate them first, or else the Asura Clan will annihilate every last one of us!"
