Chapter 537 Immortal Tablet Suppresses Immortal Tablet (2)
“Take me up, I’m pretending to be a small fry in the Juling Realm.”
“What do you mean by pretending? You are already in the Juling Realm!”
Cheng Hong Ling teased, then carried the clone with her spiritual sense towards Shi Yuqi.
In fact, according to the original plan, Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling did not need to get involved in the Hua Rong Sect’s affairs. As long as they let Hua Yu marry into the Cao family, the Immortal Tablet would naturally be preserved. Unfortunately, people’s hearts are made of flesh and blood. Once they truly joined the Hua Rong Sect, it was impossible not to get involved. Shi Yuqi’s kindness in teaching them had to be repaid, and besides, standing by indifferently was not their style of doing things.
Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling flew to Shi Yuqi’s side, and all the onlookers cast their gazes upon them.
“Who are they?”
“Not them, it should be her. Don’t you see the clone imprint on one of their foreheads?”
“Indeed, it’s one person. Her name is Jiang Ling, the direct disciple just accepted by Senior Sister Shi Yuqi!”
“Direct disciple? Senior Sister accepted a direct disciple so early? Isn’t she afraid of finding someone better in the future?”
“Impossible. This little girl, at eighteen years old, has already reached the second layer of the Huashen Realm. Her talent is definitely among the top ten in our Hua Rong Sect, so when Senior Sister accepted her as a disciple, she even held dozens of banquets to celebrate.”
“Eighteen years old and already at the second layer of the Huashen Realm? Then her bloodline must be around eight parts. No wonder Senior Sister was so eager to confirm her as a direct disciple, she must have been afraid of others snatching her away.”
The female disciples of the Hua Rong Sect discussed in low voices.
“Didn’t you want evidence? Your wish is now granted.”
Shi Yuqi smiled coldly and gestured to Qi Huang.
Qi Huang did not stand on ceremony, directly took out the Recording Mirror, and played the previously monitored footage.
“What is this thing? It can play footage?”
“That’s called a Recording Mirror, it can save the images it captures.”
“Is it that magical?”
“It’s quite magical. There are no more than five in the entire Cultivation World. I didn’t expect Senior Sister’s disciple to have one.”
“Then how did you know?”
“My Master had one in the past, but she sold it because she lacked money to buy rouge and powder.”
The surrounding Hua Rong Sect disciples all showed surprised expressions. Sect Leader Hua looked at Cheng Hong Ling doubtfully. This little girl claimed to be from a remote sect, but now her clone actually took out a Recording Mirror, which was clearly illogical.
“Ai, it’s too cheesy, I can’t watch anymore!”
“I never thought Hua Yu was such a person. I really misjudged her before.”
“Yes, our Hua Rong Sect nurtured her for over twenty years. It’s one thing for her to violate sect rules for a man, but she actually turned her back on us. Does such a person deserve to be a Saintess?”
“I think the Sect Leader also has responsibility for her becoming like this, after all, she is the master.”
“Indeed, as the saying goes, if the teaching is not strict, then the master’s responsibility is also involved. It must be that the Sect Leader spoiled her too much.”
As the footage in the Recording Mirror finished playing, the surroundings were completely in an uproar. The onlookers condemned Hua Yu one after another, and some even took the opportunity to settle scores with Sect Leader Hua.
“You little slut, how dare you monitor me?”
Hua Yu’s face turned green and then white, and she then cursed Qi Huang in rage.
“Don’t take your anger out on Jiang Ling. I asked her to monitor you. You asked us to help you persuade the Sect Leader, so naturally, I had to know if you were sincerely thinking of the Hua Rong Sect.”
Shi Yuqi, her Master, was quite dignified and immediately stepped forward to shield her.
Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling exchanged a glance, both showing relief. It seemed that they had found the right Master.
“You…”
Hua Yu was at a loss for words.
“Wicked disciple!”
Sect Leader Hua couldn’t bear it any longer, and backhanded Hua Yu with a slap.
“Slap!”
With a crisp sound, Hua Yu’s body was immediately sent flying. When she finally managed to stabilize herself, a bright red slap print had already appeared on her fair face.
Hua Yu covered her face and looked at her Master in a daze, her pupils trembling violently, clearly stunned by the slap.
“Hua Ru Yi, how dare you hit my future wife!”
Cao Yang outside the door was furious. His body instantly disappeared from its original spot, and a group of his attendants also charged in with ferocious expressions.
The faces of the Hua Rong Sect’s female disciples changed drastically, and they all drew their waist swords and prepared to face the enemy.
“Scram!”
Sect Leader Hua turned around and shouted, her peak Shentong Realm spiritual sense pushing outwards, directly twisting the air along the way and forming a semi-transparent, terrifying wave that forcefully sent hundreds of Cao family members flying, including Cao Yang.
“A man dare to enter the Hua Rong Sect? Are you looking for death?”
Hua Ru Yi advanced step by step.
“Good! Very good!”
Cao Yang gnashed his teeth, then took out a Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device, seemingly to contact someone.
“Calling for reinforcements? I’d like to see what tricks you’re playing!”
Hua Ru Yi said calmly.
Qi Huang felt immense admiration. For the top ten immortal forces of the Cultivation World, the strength of a peak Shentong Realm cultivator didn’t even rank in the top ten, yet this Sect Leader Hua was not weak in her actions at all.
“Do you know? Anything that I, this Young Master, value, no one can touch. Otherwise, I will make them pay ten times, even a hundred times the price, even you, Hua Ru Yi, are no exception. Today, I will make sure that your entire Hua Rong Sect is not happy!”
Cao Yang said with a ferocious expression.
At this moment, a faint pressure began to spread around, causing the Hua Rong Sect disciples and ordinary people present to feel a sense of unease and suffocation.
As time passed, this pressure became more and more obvious. All the surrounding flowers, birds, fish, and insects prostrated themselves on the ground. Ordinary people and disciples with lower cultivation levels also began to tremble.
Qi Huang did not want to reveal her strength, so she quickly burrowed into the Sea of Consciousness of her Main Body to avoid the mental pressure and transmitted her thoughts, saying, “What’s going on?”
This seemed to be some kind of mental pressure, but it was coming from the sky, and its source could not be found.
Cheng Hong Ling looked around, her expression also becoming solemn.
“It’s Immortal Might! Your Cao family actually activated the Immortal Tablet!”
Hua Ru Yi’s suddenly shocked and angry voice rang out.
“What? Immortal Might?”
Upon hearing this, the Hua Rong Sect members were immediately so terrified that their souls scattered. They stood there dumbfounded.
“Quickly go! Hurry and go!”
Hua Ru Yi immediately shouted to remind them.
The Hua Rong Sect disciples finally reacted and immediately screamed and scattered like birds and beasts. As for the ordinary people who could not move, they could only lie on the ground and wait to die. Because the number was too large, the cultivators could not rescue them all.
Shi Yuqi also grabbed Cheng Hong Ling’s hand and desperately fled towards the outside of the Hua Rong Sect, because she understood that as long as such talented disciples existed, the legacy of the Hua Rong Sect would not be broken.
Qi Huang was stunned, and Cheng Hong Ling was also stunned. They never dreamed that the dignified young master of the Cao family would be such a brute, activating the Immortal Tablet at the slightest disagreement. This completely ruined their plan.
Shi Yuqi, pulling her disciple’s hand, flew with difficulty. As the Immortal Might intensified, she was pressed to the ground not long after leaving the sect, and could only trudge along with her own legs with great difficulty. As for those disciples with lower cultivation levels, they did not even manage to escape the sect.
Qi Huang was not in a hurry. With the current rate of increase of the Immortal Might, she was confident that she could safely bring the two of them out.
“If the activation of the Immortal Might is gradual, then why should I be afraid of it?”
Qi Huang couldn’t help but feel a little disdainful. After all, she could now fly about ten li in a single breath. It would only take a few breaths to escape the coverage of the Immortal Might.
“Don’t be afraid, Master will protect you!”
Shi Yuqi protected her disciple beneath her like a mother hen, and took steady steps forward with her legs.
Qi Huang was contemplating whether to reveal herself and rush the two of them out when she suddenly saw a ripple like water waves sweeping over from the Window of the Mind. It passed through like a gentle breeze, dispelling some of the Immortal Might, and then another wave came…
“Huh?”
As the Immortal Might weakened, Shi Yuqi and Cheng Hong Ling straightened up and looked in the direction from which the “ripples” were coming. They saw that at the summit of Tian Du Peak, the Immortal Tablet belonging to the Hua Rong Sect was trembling slightly. Every time it trembled, a vast wave of spiritual sense spread out, continuously dispelling the Immortal Might descending from the sky.
Qi Huang examined it carefully and found that a snow-white figure was faintly floating beside the Immortal Tablet. Because the figure was emitting a dazzling radiance all over, it could be seen from several li away.
“It’s the Grand Elder, she activated the Immortal Tablet of our Hua Rong Sect!”
Shi Yuqi pointed at the Immortal Tablet, tears of joy flowing.
However, at this moment, the Immortal Might activated by the Cao family truly descended. It poured down from the nine heavens, its powerful force distorting the space along the way, forming a massive, visible “Milky Way” that fiercely charged towards the Hua Rong Sect.
