Chapter 75: I want the HongHua Sect to be eliminated in the first round.
Lu Er’s voice, like thunder, echoed throughout the entire plaza. Even the ants on the ground were so frightened that they soiled themselves. However, after waiting for a long time, no one responded.
“What’s wrong? Weren’t you quite arrogant just now? Are you feeling guilty because you don’t know who has the number six token?”
“Brother, I’ll give you a piece of advice. If you’re really scared, just lie and say your token is lost. That way, you won’t have to compete and you won’t be embarrassed!”
“You’d better hide that token well, it will be even more embarrassing if someone sees it.”
…
A crowd of cultivators jeered. In their opinion, Lu Er was obviously bluffing, trying to scare out the owner of the number six token so that he could prepare in advance.
“These guys are really stupid!”
Qi Huang curled her bright red lips.
“What’s wrong?”
Xu Mei asked curiously, and the other members of the HongHua Sect also cast their gazes over.
“They’re actually saying this Lu Er is feeling guilty? This is clearly an expression of overflowing self-confidence!”
Qi Huang expressed her opinion.
“What do you mean?”
Shen Yuan asked, a little confused.
“Think about it, with the current situation, it’s better for the number six token to remain unrevealed. Once it’s exposed, it will inevitably attract many people to compete for it, and it will eventually fall into the hands of the strongest sect. This is extremely unfavorable to Lu Er, so why would he proactively bluff to scare out the owner of the token?”
Qi Huang reminded them.
The members of the HongHua Sect looked at each other and couldn’t say anything for a while.
“There’s only one reason that can explain this: he’s not satisfied with the strength of his opponents.”
Yun Fei took over the conversation. she was the smartest among the senior sisters, so she understood Qi Huang’s meaning immediately.
“That’s right, this number six token is clearly not in the hands of those extremely powerful sects, so he wants to switch it.”
Qi Huang voiced her speculation.
“This guy is too arrogant!”
Shen Yuan gritted her teeth in annoyance.
“Yes, I thought junior sister Qi Huang was already arrogant enough, but I didn’t expect there to be someone even more arrogant. Which sect’s disciple is this?”
Ruan Lingyu sighed with emotion.
“What? You think he’s more arrogant than me?”
Qi Huang immediately became indignant. She didn’t expect that brat to steal her limelight.
“No, no, no, I think junior sister is still more arrogant.”
Ruan Lingyu quickly changed her tune to appease her.
“Heh heh, I’m keeping a low profile so that you guys can bully some weaklings first. After the first round, I’ll let you know what true arrogance is. In this world, no one understands arrogance better than me!”
Qi Huang immediately snarled fiercely.
The members of the HongHua Sect showed anxious expressions on their faces. Remembering what Qi Huang had done before, they shivered inwardly.
“It’s all your fault! Eldest Senior Sister! Don’t you know she’s a patient? You insisted on provoking her!”
Yun Fei complained.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Ruan Lingyu apologized quickly, her expression extremely awkward.
Cheng Hong Ling, however, did not speak. When it came to courage, she was no less than anyone else.
“Hmph! You really think this young master is a pushover?”
After a long time with no response, Lu Er snorted coldly and shouted again: “Listen up, no matter who holds the number six token, tomorrow I’ll be the first to make you quit cultivating. I keep my word!”
After saying that, Lu Er turned and left with a swagger.
The cultivators in the field paid no attention, still believing he was bluffing.
In the nearby Tiger Roar Sect team, a disciple was reporting the situation to Zhou Ming.
“Elder Zhou, I’ve found out. This HongHua Sect’s token is number fifty.”
The disciple reported respectfully.
“Number fifty? Then who has number fifty-one?”
Zhou Ming asked.
“It’s the Yuanyuan Sect from Wufeng County!”
The disciple continued to report.
“Wufeng County? Yuanyuan Sect? I remember this is a small sect!”
Zhou Ming said after a moment of thought.
“Yes, forget about the Huashen Realm, they don’t even have the Guiyi Realm among their immortal seeds. The strongest among them is only in the late stage of Body Refining!”
The disciple introduced the information he had gathered.
“Heh heh, isn’t this a pure bully of weaklings? I didn’t expect the HongHua Sect to have such good luck. No wonder they are smiling so happily!”
Elder Zhou also showed a helpless smile.
“It’s okay, their luck won’t always be this good. As long as we meet them, they’ll have to get lost.”
Lü Zhen, who was beside him, spoke.
“That’s true, but when will they meet us? This elder really doesn’t want to see them so happy, not even for a moment longer. Therefore, the HongHua Sect must be eliminated in the first round.”
The smile on Elder Zhou’s face turned sinister. He handed the token in his hand to Lü Zhen and instructed: “It’s not difficult to switch tokens, who can’t do it? Go exchange with the Yuanyuan Sect. I think they will be very happy to do so.”
“Yes!”
Lü Zhen was overjoyed and took the token to find the Yuanyuan Sect.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the great hall on the other side, Steward Cai was reporting back to his master, Elder Zuo.
“Master, look, originally there were only around twenty county-level sects in Yongning Prefecture, but this time there are more than sixty sects participating. How lively!”
Steward Cai marveled at the sea of people in the plaza.
“Not bad, it seems my plan is very successful!”
Elder Zuo smiled with satisfaction.
“What a pity about those treasures, I wonder who they will fall into?”
Steward Cai was a little heartbroken, after all, he was also a peak Huashen Realm cultivator and desperately needed these things.
“Do you think anyone among them can contend with Lu Er?”
Elder Zuo frowned slightly and asked back.
“No, I’m just unclear about one thing. This Lu Er came to see Cheng Hong Ling. Logically speaking, it doesn’t make much sense for him to participate in the Evergreen Convention. What if he doesn’t give us face and withdraws halfway?”
Steward Cai voiced his concern.
“He won’t!”
Elder Zuo said with great confidence.
“Why? Please enlighten me, Master!”
Steward Cai asked respectfully.
“The reason is very simple. He has seen Cheng Hong Ling’s appearance. Even among the fairies on the Chen Yu Overall Ranking, few can compare to her. What’s more, she has no background. Once such a woman becomes famous, she will inevitably attract the covetousness of many disciples from the major powers of Zhongzhou!”
Elder Zuo reminded him.
“So, to be safe, he will definitely participate in the Evergreen Convention to suppress Cheng Hong Ling, limiting her activities to his controllable range until he obtains her!”
Steward Cai immediately reacted.
“Yes, you’re not stupid either. This is what they call ‘fortune doesn’t reveal itself’! This is why I was certain he would participate in the Evergreen Convention when I first used beauty to lure Lü Yi. This guy is purely a lecher. At only twenty-five years old, he already has hundreds of wives and concubines. With Cheng Hong Ling’s beauty, she’s enough to make him lose his mind.”
Elder Zuo concluded.
“Master is wise!”
Steward Cai flattered him repeatedly, but a trace of worry appeared on his face. If Lü Yi succeeded, how would he explain it to the Tiger Roar Sect?
“Master, do you think Lü Yi can really get what he wants? This Cheng Hong Ling is very arrogant. Even His Majesty today couldn’t get even a clone of her.”
Steward Cai cautiously probed.
“Did you hear what Lu Er said to Ye Donglai just now? You don’t think he was bragging, do you? The Emperor of the Xihui Dynasty is truly not worthy of carrying his shoes! For example, if he deposed and then reported to the authorities, and wrote Cheng Hong Ling directly as his wife or concubine on that Immortal Tablet of the Lü family, do you think this young girl could resist?”
Elder Zuo reminded him.
“Of course not. Once that happens, Cheng Hong Ling will be recognized by the Immortal Tablet as a woman of the Lü family. She will either obediently accept her fate or she will only die under the suppression of the Immortal Might!”
Steward Cai said with rapid breathing. Just mentioning the Immortal Might made him feel an intangible pressure.
“Understand? In fact, Lü Yi hasn’t done such things less before. That’s why more than half of his wives and concubines came about this way. As long as a woman is written on the Immortal Tablet by him in advance, regardless of whether you are willing or not, your fate for this life is sealed. No one can resist, unless you can shake that Immortal Tablet.”
Elder Zuo said with a solemn tone.
“Shake the Immortal Tablet? Absolutely impossible. As long as you are still a mortal, you cannot fight against an immortal!”
Steward Cai shook his head in discouragement. If Lü Yi was determined to obtain Cheng Hong Ling, then the Tiger Roar Sect was destined to get nothing.
“There are exceptions, of course. If you are also a descendant of an immortal, then you can use the Immortal Tablet to counter the Immortal Tablet, and you don’t have to fear being deposed and then reported to the authorities by other descendants of immortals. It’s a pity that Cheng Hong Ling doesn’t have such good fortune and comes from an ordinary family.”
Elder Zuo added.
“What if she is favored by other descendants of immortals?”
Steward Cai suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
“Then it depends on whose Immortal Tablet is stronger. That’s why Lu Er must suppress Cheng Hong Ling and prevent her name from spreading until the raw rice is fully cooked!”
Elder Zuo reiterated.
“Heh heh, I suddenly thought of something. Cheng Hong Ling’s name has already been inscribed on Wen Jing’s tombstone by the people from Shuiyu Valley. What would happen if it were also inscribed on Lü Yi’s own Immortal Tablet?”
Steward Cai’s face showed a look of curiosity.
“If that happens, Shuiyu Valley will be in great trouble. The Immortal Might will descend, and no one will be spared!”
Elder Zuo showed a gloating expression.
…
After leaving the Immortal Alliance branch, Lu Er immediately contacted his main body using Mind Transmission.
“Big Brother, I’ve met that Cheng Hong Ling!”
Lu Er reported the situation.
“How is she?”
Lü Yi, who was in the Lü family, asked calmly. After all, he had seen many beauties. He himself had a vast harem, and any one of them could be said to be stunningly beautiful.
“She is indeed an unparalleled beauty, comparable to the top three fairies on the Chen Yu Overall Ranking. It seems the rumors that the Phoenix Selection Token gave her six perfect scores are not groundless!”
Lu Er’s voice trembled slightly, an indication of excitement.
“What? There’s such a thing?”
Lü Yi’s tone also suddenly rose.
