After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 961:

The evil sect practitioners swiftly dealt with all the ghosts, earning them applause from the townspeople watching from the city walls. Even the ten thousand rabbit soldiers joined in the applause, hopping around and creating a sea of rabbit ears, complete with ear waves.

Robb:

Having spent their lives committing misdeeds, the evil sect practitioners found the admiration of the masses for their rare good deed surprisingly pleasant. Some couldnt help but think: Being cheered like this feels good. Maybe we should consider doing more good deeds instead of actions that earn us scorn?

Meanwhile, the righteous practitioners who had followed to watch the battle were utterly confused. What was going on? Had Robb organized these evil sect experts to fight the ghosts, not to steal our precious metals? Perhaps they had misjudged him.

Being reasonable people, the righteous practitioners immediately began to reassess their opinion of Robb.

Robb, however, had no time for such matters. He addressed the victorious evil sect practitioners: Dont get too pleased with yourselves for defeating these few ghosts. Head to the coastal cities now. Engage small groups of ghosts and avoid the larger ones. Use your agility and flexibility to eliminate small enemy forces and leave the larger groups for the government to handle.

The evil sect practitioners nodded. One asked, Foreign hero, you suggest leaving the larger groups to the government, but they couldnt even handle these few ghosts. How can they deal with larger groups?

Robb chuckled, Do you really think the government is that incompetent? They were simply unprepared for this ghost invasion. Once they get their act together, these ghosts will be easily dealt with. Never underestimate the power of the government. Otherwise, why would they be in charge and not you evil sects?

The evil sect practitioners pondered this and found it reasonable. Regardless of the governments competence, they had no choice but to obey Robb.

The evil sect practitioners left, heading east.

Robb grabbed Governor Rabbit by the collar and said sternly, Report to your superiors immediately. Make them take this ghost invasion seriously and send a competent army to eliminate the threat. Especially recommend a general with the surname Qi. Have him recruit soldiers in a place called Yiwu. Then dealing with these ghosts will be a piece of cake. Understand?

Governor Rabbit was puzzled. He didnt understand why a general with the surname Qi should be emphasized, nor did he grasp the significance of recruiting soldiers in Yiwu. However, he sensed that Robb was someone extraordinary, so he decided to note down his words and relay them to his superiors.

Robb pushed Governor Rabbit aside, leaving only Shisu and a group of evil sect women he had detained. Initially, these women were frightened when taken hostage, but now they were quite at ease around Robb. They even clamored for the snacks Robb had. Shisu was munching on some osmanthus cakes Robb had bought, and mumbled, Foreign hero, youve sent them off to fight the ghosts. What are we going to do now?

Robb shrugged, Well continue to wait for the Xuanyuan Black Iron ore to come to us. Actually, its already here.

As he said this, he turned around to see a motley crew of practitioners standing not far behind himmonks, Daoists, beggars, all the archetypes youd expect from righteous sects.

Robb greeted them with a fist and palm salute, smiling, If Im not mistaken, you all are from sects like Shaolin and Wudang, right?

A monk stepped forward and returned the gesture, Amitabha, Foreign Benefactor is polite. We are indeed from sects like Shaolin, Wudang, Beggars Sect, Shushan Sword Sect, and so on.

Robb grinned, Alright, youve been watching long enough. What do you want to say?

The monk replied, Foreign Benefactor, your organizing of evil sect experts to repel the ghosts was beyond our expectations and has changed our opinion of you. Amitabha.

Robb chuckled, Skip the pleasantries. Youre here for the Xuanyuan Black Iron ore, arent you?

The monk nodded, Indeed, we are here concerning the Xuanyuan Black Iron ore. However, we, the righteous sects, are not like those unscrupulous practitioners who would use any means. Weve observed your actions and believe you lean more towards the righteous side. Hence, weve come to negotiate.

Robb said, Go on.

The monk continued, We heard that you can use the True Fire to refine Xuanyuan Black Iron. Initially, we thought you were from an evil sect and would rather let the ore go to waste than seek your help. However, after witnessing your recent actions, we believe you can be trusted. Weve come to share a story with you, hoping that your kind heart will be moved to lend us a hand.

Robb laughed, Alright, Im curious to hear this story that could potentially make me kind-hearted.'

Given the crowd, perhaps we should find a quieter place to talk.

Robb agreed, Good idea. Lets head back to the Qiantang Sects mansion to talk.

Everyone left the city wall and made their way back to the Qiantang Sects mansion. The eyes of the righteous sect members couldnt help but fall on the group of female rabbit people following Robb. The Shaolin monk said, Is it appropriate for these women from the evil sects, who are being held hostage, to listen to our story?

Robb chuckled, Whats inappropriate about it? Are you suggesting that the righteous and the evil cannot coexist?

Ahem well The monk was indeed thinking along those lines.

Robb continued, You monks are too rigid. Why not try to convert the evil sects into good people? I never discriminate between the righteous and the evil. With a little persuasion, even those from evil sects can do good deeds. Didnt I just persuade them to fight the ghosts?

The righteous sect members thought to themselves: Is that what you call persuasion? You took their women as hostages and coerced them. Its outrageous, and were already being generous by not confronting you.

Wait, as members of the righteous sects, we should be reasonable. The monk solemnly said, Foreign Benefactor, although the righteous and the evil are fundamentally different and those from evil sects deserve their fate, your methods are still questionable. I suggest you release these women from the evil sects.
