Chapter 291: Shared Fate

"Brother Cheng, something happened at Dragon and Tiger Mountain."

The next day at noon.

Zhang Ziqing brought even worse news, showing Du Ge a video on his phone.

In the back mountain square of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed, and talismans flew everywhere.

One by one, the disciples of Dragon and Tiger Mountain fell.

Leading the charge was none other than Qi Xiu, the Sect Leader of Dragon and Tiger Mountain. Behind him were the Sect Leaders of Maoshan Sect, Emei, Laoshan, and others. Even the Family Master of the Bai family, who had been captured earlier, was among them.

The Sect Leaders of these major sects not only had profound cultivation levels but also wielded their sect's treasured artifacts.

The disciples left to guard Dragon and Tiger Mountain were no match for them.

Of course, facing the Sect Leaders of these major sects, the disciples of Dragon and Tiger Mountain dared not resist too much.

The most striking figure in the battle was a young man, whom the elders of Dragon and Tiger Mountain protected in the center, shielding him from outside attacks at all costs.

When the thunder spells struck him, they only managed to tear his clothes, causing him no harm.

Especially with the cooperation of the elders, they captured an elder from the Laoshan Sect. The young man rushed up and licked his face.

The old Daoist priest involuntarily called him "Mom," then stood by his side to protect him...

But that was the extent of it.

Two fists couldn't fend off four hands. The Sect Leaders of the major sects had deeper cultivation. Realizing the young man's terrifying power, they no longer approached him, opting for long-range attacks, one by one taking down the children protecting him.

By the end of the battle, the young man who had been called "Mom" couldn't lick anyone else...

...

"Is that guy being protected by Dragon and Tiger Mountain the Heavenly Demon?"

Watching the video, Liu Guang and Wu Huai's eyes twitched uncontrollably, feeling nauseous. Being licked in battle and then calling someone "Mom" was too horrifying.

If all Heavenly Demons were like this, they indeed deserved to be killed.

At this moment, they didn't realize that the sweet words Chen Ziyong had said to them initially had affected them, nor did they realize that Du Ge's beating had similarly influenced their minds.

"What is his keyword?" Zhang Ziqing pointed at the young man on the screen, who was finally tied up, and asked.

"Probably something related to 'mother'!" Du Ge thought for a moment and said, "Most likely 'Mother's Strength' and 'Maternal Love'."

"..." Zhang Ziqing was stunned for a moment, giving Du Ge a strange look, feeling a wave of relief. He was glad that the two Heavenly Demon keywords they encountered weren't this one. Otherwise, being licked would be worse than death.

"Next time we encounter him, be careful not to let him lick you." Du Ge didn't care much about the candidate with the mother-related keyword; he was more concerned about the person behind the Special Affairs Bureau.

There were many control-type skills.

Loosely speaking, his "No Fight, No Acquaintance," Chen Ziyong's "Sweet Words," and even the Dragon and Tiger Mountain candidate's "Maternal Love" were all control-type skills.

But these skills had very stringent conditions for activation.

"Sweet Words" might not be stringent, but its control was extremely weak, at most allowing self-preservation. Commanding others to do things would still be difficult.

Even his "No Fight, No Acquaintance" required him to defeat the opponent to influence them. If he encountered a stubborn opponent, he would have no way.

Even if he did manage to defeat them, the opponent would still have their own thoughts and might occasionally oppose his opinions.

The only truly 100% control skill was the loyalty obtained through transactions in the second simulation field, but that was based on clear pricing, and those two bugged skills were also banned by the simulation field.

The Sect Leaders controlled by the Special Affairs Bureau seemed to have completely lost their own thoughts. Du Ge didn't know how the other party did it, but he had to find out. He didn't want to be controlled unknowingly.

From the video, it didn't seem like the other party controlled people on the spot.

But Du Ge knew he couldn't wait any longer. With the way they were capturing people, it wouldn't be long before they assembled an army of candidates.

...

"Brother Cheng, please save my father." Bai Qiao looked at Du Ge with tears in her eyes. "My father wasn't like that before."

"Yes, we'll save him." Du Ge nodded, repeatedly watching the video, examining the fighting styles of those Sect Leaders, looking for clues that could benefit him.

The controlled Sect Leaders never communicated with each other, but their use of Daoist techniques was very proficient, and their cultivation levels were very high, comparable to Liu Guang and Wu Huai. With the artifacts they wielded, their strength should far surpass Liu Guang and Wu Huai.

Especially the Sect Leader of Tianshi Mountain, with the Tianshi Seal in his hand, capable of summoning thunder and electricity, even more useful than the Fantian Seal.

The Sect Leader of Dragon and Tiger Mountain was also difficult to deal with, appearing and disappearing unpredictably on the battlefield...

"The reason the Special Affairs Bureau attacked Dragon and Tiger Mountain is probably because of their open recruitment." Zhang Ziqing speculated, "Moreover, in the Special Affairs Bureau's team, only the Sect Leader of Dragon and Tiger Mountain is present, none of the other elders. This clearly indicates that Dragon and Tiger Mountain has a Heavenly Demon.

After dealing with Dragon and Tiger Mountain, they will likely sweep through other sects, completely severing the connection between Heavenly Demons and cultivation sects. It won't be long before they come to Tianshi Mountain. After all, Brother Cheng, you are also their target."

Du Ge nodded. In the Wuxia world, one could rely on distance to gain growth time, but in modern society, with planes and high-speed trains, distance was no longer an issue, and growth time was greatly reduced.

"Brother Cheng, what should we do?" Shi Dashan asked, "The Special Affairs Bureau has controlled so many Sect Leaders, no family can stand against them."

"Did you send the video back?" Du Ge suddenly looked at Shi Dashan and the others.

"We did, and I also told them about Brother Cheng." Shi Dashan said, "Now our people are already on their way to Tianshi Mountain. They should arrive after dark. Although their cultivation isn't as high as the Sect Leaders, they are not weak..."

"The Luo family is also coming to Tianshi Mountain." Luo Fan said.

"The Ma family too." Ma Chuan added.

Du Ge glanced at them and shook his head, "Then we have no choice. Open the Demon Sealing Cave!"

Everyone was stunned.

Liu Guang asked, "Now?"

"Yes!" Du Ge looked at everyone helplessly, "Haven't you thought about why this video was shot so clearly, highlighting all the main characters?"

Zhang Ziqing suddenly realized, his face changing drastically, "It's bait?"

"What else?" Du Ge sighed, "The Special Affairs Bureau never intended to run around looking for people. They knew I left with you. And me leaving with you proves that I have taken the lead.

So, sending the video to one of you would trigger your panic. Then, to protect yourselves, you would definitely try to gather more strength, and that strength is your families. As long as they track your families, they will naturally know where I am."

Damn!

Zhang Ziqing cursed, "They are too cunning!"

Shi Dashan and the others looked grim.

"Everyone uses their own methods, no need to talk about cunning." Du Ge shook his head and looked again at the Demon Sealing Cave, "Ziqing, you all leave. I will tear off the seal. They probably won't expect me to use the help from the Demon Sealing Cave."

"Brother Cheng, are you confident?" Zhang Ziqing asked, "Should we wait a bit longer? The longer we cultivate, the better. When the Special Affairs Bureau arrives, we can unseal it then. Maybe we can use the Ghost King in the Demon Sealing Cave to delay them."

"If we unseal it then, we will be fighting two groups at once." Du Ge smiled, "You all leave, don't waste time. Great Uncle, please activate the Demon Suppression Array."

Liu Guang nodded. After seeing the Sect Leaders controlled by the Special Affairs Bureau, they finally realized the seriousness of the situation and no longer opposed Du Ge opening the Demon Sealing Cave.

...

"After all this fuss, it still comes down to us." Inside the Demon Sealing Cave, laughter echoed, "Brother Cheng, don't activate the Demon Suppression Array. If we end up fighting, we might become enemies. Quickly tear off the seal, and sister will fight alongside you against the Heavenly Demons..."

"Exactly, exactly, how can you ask for our help and still want to suppress us?" Another voice chimed in, "Cheng boy, if you dare activate the Demon Suppression Array, we will switch sides when your enemies arrive..."

"Don't listen to that old ghost. How could we switch sides? The Demon Suppression Array should be activated. As long as the old ghost can regain freedom, I will help you kill the enemies." Another voice urged.

...

Amidst the noisy voices, Zhang Ziqing and the others didn't leave but instead stepped closer.

Zhang Ziqing said, "Brother Cheng, we won't leave. We'll stay and fight with you."

"Don't be foolish. If the fight starts, I can't take care of you." Du Ge said.

"Whether we live or die is our fate." Zhang Ziqing looked at Du Ge seriously, "Brother Cheng, with your skills, you could leave and come back stronger. But you stayed for us; we can't just watch you face danger alone."

"You are all my friends. I never let my friends face danger alone." Du Ge glanced back at him. The attributes brought by friendship were not as good as discrimination, but every bit helped.

"Brother Cheng, since you said that, we can't leave. This is a calamity for the cultivation world. If we keep letting you bear it, what kind of friends are we?" Luo Fan waved his demon-subduing staff, smiling foolishly, "If we leave, the cultivation world is truly finished."

"Brother Cheng, we won't leave." Zhong Xie also stepped forward.

"Brother Cheng, we won't leave. The Special Affairs Bureau came because of us. If we die, we die together." Shi Dashan said.

Suddenly.

Du Ge's personal interface flashed.

Du Ge reached out and tapped it, and a new skill appeared:

Shared Fate: In battle, you can gather all your friends' strength into yourself or share your strength with your friends.
