Chapter 75: Chapter 90 Why is this clone so weak?
Qi Huang walked out of her heart, opened her eyes, and found herself lying in a room. She looked around and found the environment very strange. She didn’t know where she was.
Qi Huang’s spiritual sense extended outward, and she was completely aware of everything within forty feet around her. It turned out to be an inn, but it was no longer the same one as before.
“The Spiritual Wisdom did cause trouble.”
Qi Huang was a little helpless, but she was already satisfied to be able to wake up this time, and her spiritual sense had also been enhanced to a certain extent, so even if she were in hell, she could still laugh until the ghosts were scared.
Qi Huang didn’t know how long had passed, so she planned to contact her main body to inquire about the situation. However, as soon as she established contact, her vision blurred. When she could see again, she found herself in Cheng Hong Ling’s boudoir in the HongHua Sect.
“Why did you summon me back? Doesn’t it ruin my shoes to run an errand for you? I’m so poor!”
Qi Huang complained, dumbfounded.
“I wanted to ask you too? Why haven’t you contacted me for so long?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s red lips parted slightly, and she questioned coldly.
“There… there was a little accident.”
Qi Huang immediately corrected her stance and stammered guiltily. She didn’t know how her main body felt about the Spiritual Wisdom trying to possess her body, so she didn’t dare to speak directly.
“Forget it, I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you. There’s an urgent matter that only you can resolve.”
Cheng Hong Ling changed the subject.
“Only I can resolve it? When did I become so influential?”
Qi Huang asked in disbelief.
“You are, after all, Cheng Hong Ling’s clone. Can’t you have more confidence?”
Cheng Hong Ling frowned slightly.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Qi Huang quickly nodded in submission.
“The matter is like this…”
Cheng Hong Ling then explained what had happened during this time and pointed outside with her jade finger: “They are determined to investigate my cultivation level this time. Listen for yourself, those people have already gathered outside the Orchid Courtyard and could break in at any moment.”
Qi Huang listened intently and indeed heard a noisy commotion outside.
“So, only your appearance can handle them in the current situation. If I go, I will be exposed immediately.”
Cheng Hong Ling explained further.
“So it’s just a formality! Leave it to me.”
Qi Huang patted her chest and said, causing a slight jiggle.
“What are you patting? Don’t disgrace me!”
Cheng Hong Ling narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.
“Ah! Sorry, it was purely accidental.”
Qi Huang quickly apologized. Having just become a woman, she hadn’t had time to correct many of her habits.
“Alright, now come with me to find Master. I have something to tell her.”
Cheng Hong Ling stood up and walked out first, her lotus-like steps creating a breeze filled with fragrance.
Qi Huang quickly followed suit, but before they could leave the room, Xu Mei rushed in in a panic.
“You… your clone is back?”
As soon as Xu Mei saw Qi Huang, her panicked expression vanished.
“Yes, we just got in touch.”
Cheng Hong Ling explained.
“Quick, hide! Those outsiders have already broken in.”
Xu Mei urged anxiously again.
“How dare they? Aren’t they afraid of enraging me?”
Cheng Hong Ling found it hard to believe.
“Someone told them that someone had impersonated you some time ago, so they suspect that this clone is that impostor and thus conclude that Liu Ba was lying about you being a transformed cultivator.”
Xu Mei was a little helpless.
‘They guessed it right.’
Qi Huang was very surprised.
“What business is it of theirs whether it’s real or fake? Why are they so pushy?”
Cheng Hong Ling gritted her teeth.
“They want to poach you! A fifteen-year-old transformed cultivator is a genius that any sect would try to win over with all their might.”
A hint of envy appeared on Xu Mei’s face.
“Then tell them that I’m not going anywhere.”
Cheng Hong Ling tried to reason with them.
“It’s useless. This matter is probably beyond your control.”
Xu Mei said with a wry smile. Di Ling Niang: 5 (silk {6 shrimp (seven) (seven) 0
Just then, the commotion outside grew louder.
“Not good! They’ve broken in, you should hide quickly, and the clone can go out to deal with them.”
Xu Mei’s expression changed drastically.
“Remember what I just told you.”
Cheng Hong Ling unwillingly walked back into her boudoir.
Qi Huang nodded firmly. For some reason, when completing the tasks arranged by her “main body,” she always had inexplicable courage.
“Hurry up, we can’t let those people get close here, because there are transformed cultivators among them, who can use spiritual sense to investigate. The risk is too great.”
Xu Mei took the lead and ran outside.
Qi Huang also quickly followed behind her. After running for hundreds of meters, the master and disciple finally saw the group of intruders. There were more than a hundred of them, and judging by their attire, they came from at least six or seven sects.
These people, whether men or women, barged into the HongHua Sect like slippery snakes. The sect’s high-level figures and disciples did their best to stop them, but they couldn’t. This continued until they saw Qi Huang.
“Fellow Daoists, it’s one thing for the women, but you men are also barging into the living quarters of the HongHua Sect’s female disciples. Isn’t this a bit rude?”
Xu Mei accused loudly. With the disciple clone present, what did she have to be afraid of?
“Is that Cheng Hong Ling?”
“No, no, no, it’s her clone. Look at the pink lotus-shaped mark between her eyebrows. This is clearly a mark of a female clone.”
“Has she really reached the Transformed Realm? My heavens, fifteen years old! How is this possible?”
“Yes, our Xihui Kingdom has never produced such a genius, and it even appeared in a place like Huang Tian Prefecture. Could it be that a phoenix is really about to fly out of this rat’s nest?”
“Not necessarily, perhaps this is the woman who impersonated her before, after all, marks can be forged.”
“I even think this is her in person!”
… …
Cultivators from other sects pointed at Qi Huang and discussed, some believing, others not.
“Sect Leader Qin, is this your disciple’s clone?”
Just then, an old man walked out. Although his hair was white, his physique was strong, and his complexion was unusually ruddy, which was clearly a manifestation of deep cultivation.
“Yes, Elder Zhou.”
Qin Quan smiled as before, not humble or arrogant.
Elder Zhou did not continue to speak and suddenly disappeared from his original spot.
Before Qi Huang could react, she saw a fist the size of a sand pot appearing in front of her nose. The powerful fist wind directly pushed her back several steps, and she stumbled and fell.
Qi Huang never expected the other party to attack so suddenly that she didn’t even have time to contact her main body with her mind.
“What if he had attacked with lethal force?”
As Qi Huang thought of this, her heart pounded like a drum.
Xu Mei was greatly alarmed and quickly ran to help her disciple clone up.
“Sect Leader Qin, as we all know, the strength of a cultivator’s clone is at least half of the main body’s. Why is she so weak? I need an explanation.”
Elder Zhou retracted his fist and looked at Qin Quan with an unfriendly expression.
“Yes! As transformed cultivators, how can she not even evade Elder Zhou’s casual punch?”
“I knew it was fake! This must be that impostor pretending.”
“Let’s go! Let’s go! The truth is out, this is all a farce staged by the HongHua Sect.”
“Stealing fame! I wonder how the HongHua Sect will stand in the cultivation world from now on.”
… …
A group of cultivators from other sects, believing they had seen through everything, shook their heads in disdain.
Qin Quan and Xu Mei’s expressions became extremely grim. They knew what the exposure of the clone’s strength meant. It meant that if others wanted to kill Cheng Hong Ling, they only needed to get rid of this defenseless clone.
“Elder Zhou, she is indeed my disciple’s clone, but my disciple encountered some accidents while cultivating her, so her strength is not at the Transformed Realm.”
Qin Quan steadied himself and continued to explain.
“It’s not just not at the Transformed Realm. She was knocked down by just my fist wind. She’s so fragile, I’m afraid her cultivation is only around the second or third level of the Juling Realm.”
Elder Zhou’s eyesight was sharp, and he had actually figured out Qi Huang’s background with just one move.
“But what I said is the truth.”
Qin Quan reiterated.
“Sect Leader Qin, how can you expect us to believe you with just your words?”
Elder Zhou pressed him calmly.
“Elder Zhou, although the HuXiao Sect is the number one sect in Yongning Prefecture, we are not in a superior-subordinate relationship. What obligation do I have to prove myself to you?”
Qin Quan retorted with a dark expression, clearly pushed to his limit.
“What if I represent the Immortal Alliance? Your HongHua Sect has always been in a superior-subordinate relationship with the Immortal Alliance, right? The Immortal Alliance does not want to see a sect that steals fame under its wing, so it sent me to investigate. Is this reason enough?”
Elder Zhou sneered repeatedly, pressing on step by step.
Qin Quan was speechless. Although he knew that this was mostly fake, in Yongning Prefecture, the HuXiao Sect and the Immortal Alliance were closely linked, so even if it was fake, it would become real.
“Then, what does Elder Zhou want to do to prove it?”
Qin Quan asked, suppressing his anger.
“It’s very simple. Let the main body summon her back. Otherwise, who knows if the clone mark between her eyebrows was painted by herself.”
Elder Zhou made his request.
‘Just this?’
Qi Huang was immediately amused. She thought this old man would need her to move mountains and fill seas, but if it was just “a magic trick,” then she could do it ten times without any problem.
“Since Elder Zhou has this request, I will fulfill it.”
Qi Huang straightened her back confidently, then looked around: “Everyone, watch carefully, I’m about to disappear.”
