Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 135 Sincerity!

"Tell me, how many Witch Council branches are left in our province?" The next day, on the way, Luo Xi casually chatted with her sister Luo Xin and Qiangwei about the fate of the Witch Council branches.

"There are still three left. The other four have already left," Rose said calmly. "If you had started cleaning up from the beginning, apart from the two Witch Council branches in Nuchuan City and Dachang City that you have already cleared out, none of the remaining seven Witch Council branches should have escaped."

"There are still three left," Luo Xi just smiled, neither confirming nor denying Qiangwei's words. "The Witch Council must be eliminated, but when and how to eliminate it is worth considering."

"Following the principle of 'capture the leader first,' we should prioritize eliminating the Witch Council headquarters. As for the Witch Council branches, although they represent the pinnacle of power for ordinary people, they are not as powerful as we are..."

"It can be removed at will, so whether it's cleaned up or not is not important."

"Yes," Luo Xin, the younger sister, chimed in, "If we take down one branch of the Witch Council, as long as the main Witch Council still exists, we can rebuild it very quickly."

"So you're just going to let these Witch Council branches go?" Rose asked.

"No," Luo Xi explained, "The main purpose of quickly eliminating the two Witch Council branches in Dachang City and Nuchuan City was to demonstrate our strength and announce our existence. If I were to continue eliminating all seven remaining Witch Council branches..."

"Then the Witch Council will have no choice but to immediately launch a full-scale counterattack, causing huge damage and repercussions," Luo Xi said calmly. "Therefore, leaving some buffer time is also a signal to the Witch Council to 'negotiate' or 'respond'."

"The Witch Council's response so far is twofold: first, to invite them to negotiations; and second, to withdraw four Witch Council branches, leaving only three. Their actions are quite intriguing." Luo Xi paused slightly.

“Under normal circumstances, I have already destroyed two branches of the Witch Council,” Luo Xi said, playing with a small stone that she had captured with telekinesis. “With the four adjacent branches of the Witch Council already evacuated, the remaining three branches should have fled regardless of whether there is an order from the headquarters.”

"But they stayed." Luo Xi smiled.

"Are they really going to run away?" Luo Xin asked. "They haven't provoked us, and we might not necessarily cause them any trouble."

Luo Xi glanced at her: "An armed outpost, seeing two other outposts of similar size being wiped out in public by an unknown force, and the other party's strength is unfathomable, what do you think they would choose?"

Luo Xin remained silent.

"With all four neighboring strongholds already evacuated, for survival, they only have one option: retreat." Before her sister could answer, Luo Xi said directly, "The fact that they haven't retreated only means one thing: they can't retreat."

"What's the reason?" Rose asked.

"It's most likely an order from the Witch Council headquarters; the headquarters won't allow them to withdraw." Seeing her sister and Rose deep in thought, Luo Xi felt gratified.

Luo Xi continued, "Originally, I thought the three remaining branches of the Witch Council might be hiding secret weapons, such as the most advanced supernatural technology from the headquarters... But during this operation, the life signal causality alarm showed a green light, indicating that it was safe."

"This means that the remaining three Witch Council branches are just expendable pawns left behind by the Witch Council headquarters. They have no secret weapons; their only purpose is to test us so that the headquarters can analyze how to deal with us based on our actions."

"This is consistent with the Witch Council's usual style of doing things, completely disregarding human life, including that of their subordinates."

"So that's how it is..." Luo Xin murmured.

Seeing the reactions of Rose and her sister, Luo Xi was somewhat puzzled: "Luo Xin, and Rose, your magical properties, whether it's the perception of fate or the interference of spacetime, should allow you to foresee the future to some extent. What's wrong with you today? Do I have to explain everything?"

"It is precisely because I can foresee fragments of the future that I realize that if I rely too much on this magical property, I will inevitably fail in the future," Luo Xin replied.

Is that so? A self-correcting instinct unique to spacetime interferers? Besides fighting, has Luo Xin, the younger sister, also begun to display her talent on another level? This kind of understanding is completely unlike what a nine-year-old child could think of!

Luo Xi gave Luo Xin a deep look. "Then, you analyze the ideas of the Witch Council headquarters."

Luo Xin was unsure: "They...are they trying to see if we're afraid of them? Leaving people behind means they're not afraid of us?"

Luo Xi shook her head slightly: "Not entirely. They left their own people behind not to show courage, but quite the opposite... Their probing was mainly to see the possibility of cooperation with us, which just exposed their cowardice."

"The Witch Council is truly disgusting," Luo Xi sighed. "If we don't clean up these three Witch Council branches, the headquarters will think that our Vivers Group is just like little girls playing house, with naive and innocent members who turn a blind eye to the hostility from those around us..."

"That way, they will not only be convinced that they can cooperate with us, but they will also look down on us during negotiations and even make unreasonable demands."

"They dare?" Luo Xin exclaimed in surprise. "They really dare to push their luck like that?"

Instead of directly responding to her sister Luo Xin's astonishment, Luo Xi simply sneered, "Didn't expect that, did they? They ran into me."

"When ordinary people acquire extraordinary power, they will initially be cautious and study their own abilities. If their power is insufficient to fight against violent institutions, they will hide themselves to prevent being recruited or studied."

"If the power they acquire is sufficient to confront violent institutions, they will be driven by fame and fortune to constantly satisfy their own desires."

"Who would think of fighting the whole world less than a month after gaining supernatural power?" Luo Xi said with a smile.

Qiangwei and Luo Xin both looked at her, their gazes complicated.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm so kind, I've never thought of fighting against the world." Luo Xi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she immediately changed the subject, "So, these three Witch Council branches that were left behind are just pawns that the General Council is sending to us for food."

"Only by eliminating them can we prove to the headquarters that we have seen through their tactic of sabotaging others, and that only a wise and insightful organization is worthy of their serious attention and cooperation."

"Secondly, this also puts the Witch Council at ease. They have 'sent' us several nuclear bombs and nuclear landmines before, so it wouldn't be right for us not to reciprocate, since cooperation is based on equal military strength."

"Similarly, they want to use these three Witch Council branches to tell us: if we clean them up, all past grudges will be wiped clean." At this point, Luo Xi chuckled, "The Witch Council headquarters wants to cooperate with us."

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Luo Xin looked at her, puzzled.

"When they thought they could control us with firearms, they arbitrarily gave us orders and even forced us to do things..." Luo Xi glanced at Qiangwei, "After discovering that nuclear weapons were also useless, their attitude changed immediately."

"I said I wanted Dachang City, and they just gave it to me. Even when they wanted to negotiate, they had to carefully test the waters first. It's really ridiculous."

Her expression grew cold: "Arrogant at first, then obsequious; greedy for petty gains, forgetting righteousness; hesitant to risk their lives for great causes... Rose, tell me, do they really have the audacity to threaten us with the lives of all humanity?"

Rose remained calm and did not answer; she simply turned her head away.

Luo Xin suddenly started humming a song.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Luo Xi didn't care. They possessed extraordinary power and were favored by fate, but if they stopped thinking because of this, their extraordinary power would eventually become the sharpest knife in someone else's hand.

Therefore, raising awareness and thinking is crucial. Even though their methods are still somewhat rudimentary, they are extraordinary individuals with a high tolerance for error. Even if they fail, they have the opportunity to try again, which is the source of her confidence.

She deliberately trained herself and her younger sister's thinking ability: to think, to do, to try and make mistakes, and then to correct them. They will definitely grow up!

"Then let's show our sincerity in cooperating," Luo Xi said. "Since they dared to leave three scapegoats behind, then let's do as they wish and destroy the remaining three branches of the Witch Council!"
