Chapter 708: She is my Life Mentor.
Qi Huang watched with great interest. She was very glad that she hadn’t completely destroyed Elder Kang before, otherwise, how could she have watched such a wonderful show? “Kang Sheng, I remember you shattered your heart before, not your brain. This elder hasn’t even held you accountable for fleeing without a fight. How dare you cause trouble now, are you tired of living?” Zheng Chi threatened, releasing his spiritual sense pressure. Kang Sheng was startled and stammered, not daring to speak further. “Elder Kang, refute him. You have to fight for your own interests. If you don’t fight for them, do you expect others to fight for you?” Qi Huang said with disappointment. Elder Kang was instantly enlightened by these words. He gritted his teeth and said, “Elder Zhao, what do you mean by causing trouble? They themselves said that the Cultivation World respects strength, so it is the most reasonable thing to decide the ownership of the bait through a match. Why are you blocking it? Do you have any ulterior motives? Should I inform the Alliance Leader right now?” Hearing Qi Huang’s words, Kang Sheng became even more motivated. “Elder Kang, well refuted.” Qi Huang praised him again, then took out a table and stools from her storage ring, placed them in front, and also brought out some fruits and snacks. She then warmly invited her friends: “Everyone, don’t be polite, please sit down and rest. Looking at them, it seems difficult to reach a conclusion in a short time, so let’s treat it as a show!” The baits looked at each other, their faces showing apprehension. They thought to themselves, who would dare to treat the elders of the Immortal Alliance as a show? Cheng Hong Ling and a few senior sisters dared to do so, so they sat down to rest without any hesitation. Zheng Chi was so angry that his features were distorted. Because he didn’t want to be accused of unfairness, he could only compromise: “In that case, this elder will satisfy your request.” Zheng Chi took a deep breath and announced: “The ownership of the bait will be decided by a match. There are twenty-one of them left in total, which can be divided into three teams. You three elders will have one-on-one single elimination matches. The final ranking will be the order in which you choose the bait. No one is allowed to raise any further objections. As for this elder, I have more important matters to attend to, so I will not look for the Golden Life Flower seeds.” Hearing this, everyone shut up, as it was indeed the most fair and just method. “I say, Elder Zheng, aren’t you scared?” Qi Huang teased. “Yes, are you afraid of being exposed, so you deliberately found an excuse to run away? I knew this trick when I was three years old,” Ruan Lingyu added. “The dignified Grand Elder of the Immortal Alliance is actually afraid of fighting. Didn’t you get there through nepotism?” Yun Fei maliciously speculated. “Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, this elder will deal with you now,” Elder Zheng threatened sternly. “Look, he’s anxious. I guess we guessed it right,” Qi Huang boldly pointed at Elder Zheng and teased. “Is she tired of living?” The surrounding baits were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they retreated one after another, afraid that some blood might splash onto them. “Why are you running? Sit down. They still have to compete. After the competition, they will definitely need to recuperate. It won’t be settled in less than seven or eight hours,” Qi Huang invited unconcernedly. “Seeking death!” Zheng Chi could no longer bear it and was about to make a move. “Wait!” Elder Kang quickly stopped him and reminded him: “Grand Elder, we don’t know how long it will take to determine the winner of this match. If you kill them now, and the stench of their corpses covers the aroma of the Golden Life Flower, wouldn’t that be a waste of several baits?” “Yes! Please, Elder Zheng, prioritize the overall situation,” Elder Gao also advised. “Alright, then let them live a little longer.” Zheng Chi took a deep breath and then ordered hundreds of Immortal Alliance disciples: “Watch them carefully. If even one of them escapes, you will take their place as baits.” “Yes!” The Immortal Alliance disciples quickly took their orders and surrounded the twenty or so pitiful girls. “It seems this show has to be watched until the end!” Qi Huang teased. She thought that provoking Elder Zheng would end this boring play, but little did she know that the other party could actually endure it. He truly was the Grand Elder of the Immortal Alliance. “You deliberately provoked him to create resentment for the Wenren family, right?” “Of course. They dared to treat us as scapegoats, so we have to give them a surprise.” Qi Huang said triumphantly. “But have you considered that the Wenren family knows our background? If they tell the Immortal Alliance, then you will be in trouble.” Cheng Hong Ling reminded her. “It’s okay, I was already planning to expose the Wenren family,” Qi Huang gritted her teeth. “Speak properly!” Cheng Hong Ling’s tone turned cold. “Don’t worry, I’m planning to do something big this time. Afterwards, the Wenren family will definitely not dare to admit that they found scapegoats, so they naturally won’t expose us.” Qi Huang said with ill intentions. “Won’t admit it? Can they not admit it? We were personally sent to the Immortal Alliance Main Altar by Wenren Qing. Can they still deny it?” Cheng Hong Ling questioned. “It’s okay, I believe in the wisdom of the old master Wenren. As long as he is willing to cut his losses, he can naturally reduce the damage. This is the surprise I want to give him.” Qi Huang slightly raised the corner of her mouth. “What if the Wenren family cannot conceal it?” Cheng Hong Ling asked again, still worried. “It doesn’t matter. By the time they find out, I will probably have become an immortal. Moreover, with Zhen Feiyan as a powerful ally, if the Immortal Alliance dares to cause trouble, it will be time to settle all accounts.” Qi Huang said confidently, as she was already at Heavenly Punishment Realm Level 8, not far from becoming an immortal. Cheng Hong Ling did not refute, as she was used to trusting her clone. “Also, how many Golden Life Flower seeds are you planning to find this time before you leave? I want to remind you, the Body-Substitution Technique cannot be dropped, unless you want to become a complete woman.” Cheng Hong Ling asked again. “I know. It will be five days. I’ll find as many as I can within five days. Anyway, I don’t expect to find tens of thousands of Golden Life Flower seeds to satisfy all the children in Huang Tian Prefecture in one go. I can plant them slowly after I take them back.” Qi Huang stated her plan. “But you must understand that it is strictly forbidden by the Immortal Alliance to take the raw Golden Life Flower seeds out of here, let alone planting and harvesting them…” Cheng Hong Ling said worriedly. “Unless the Wenren family blows themselves up, who will know that we took the Golden Life Flower seeds out of here?” Qi Huang asked playfully. “Aren’t there rumors in the past that someone managed to make the Immortal Alliance’s cooked seeds grow?” Qi Huang said with a playful tone, then added: “Of course, if the Immortal Alliance refuses to believe it and insists on causing trouble, then as I said, this immortal… that elder is afraid of them? Come and trouble me if you dare? With Zhen Feiyan’s help, anyone who shows up will be instantly killed!” “You are indeed fearless.” Cheng Hong Ling shook her head helplessly. “There’s no other way, who made this immortal… that elder have this strength!” Qi Huang said triumphantly. At this moment, the three elders had moved to a clearing in the distance and were drawing lots for one-on-one single elimination matches. Since there was only one chance, the draw was extremely important, and everyone wanted to draw number three. “This is not fair, is it? If numbers one and two fight first, then number three will profit immensely, as he can fight the winner of the first round with full health, and even if he loses, he will be second place,” Shen Yuan raised an objection. “There is limited time now, how can it be absolutely fair and just? Do you expect them to have a round-robin competition? Then we might as well spend the New Year here,” Ruan Lingyu rolled her beautiful eyes. “You misunderstand me, I’m not complaining about the competition system, I just want to see them fight a few more rounds,” Shen Yuan said quietly. By this time, the lots had been drawn. Elder Kang had good luck and drew number three, which meant he would at worst be second to choose. “Hahaha, what the little girl from the Wenren family said is good! I have to fight for my own interests. If I don’t fight for them, do I expect others to fight for me!” Elder Kang looked at Qi Huang and laughed heartily. “Elder Kang, you flatter me. If you think what I said makes sense, would you spare my life later?” Qi Huang tested. “No problem, if this elder can choose you, I will definitely spare your life,” Kang Sheng said very generously. Qi Huang was amused. As the saying goes, “give and take is not impolite.” With these words, she was willing to spare this old fellow another time. Next, the three elders began to get into formation and compete. The truth proved that no matter how good the luck was, it could not make up for the gap in strength. Elder Gao took less than an hour to defeat Elder Kang and Elder Dong, making them sincerely admit defeat. “Elder Kang, you disappoint me too. You can’t even beat that old man.” Qi Huang shook her head in disappointment. “I’m sorry, I did my best.” Elder Kang said awkwardly. “Are you out of your mind? Why are you apologizing to the bait?” Elder Zheng pointed at Elder Kang and cursed. “Her words enlightened me. She can be considered my life mentor.” Elder Kang said seriously. “You’re crazy!” Elder Zheng cursed again, then said to Elder Gao: “Elder Gao, you are the final winner, you choose first!” “Okay, I’ve been waiting impatiently,” Elder Gao said proudly as he stepped forward and ordered: “All those who have stimulated the aroma of the Golden Life Flower, step forward.” The girls knew that if they went up, they would be dismembered, so their faces showed fear, and no one dared to take a step. Cheng Hong Ling was naturally an exception. She wasn’t afraid, she simply didn’t put this guy in her eyes. “I say, Elder Gao, after all, we’ve worked together. Could you at least leave one of the girls whose scent has been stimulated for me? You don’t have to be so cruel, do you?” Elder Kang appealed to reason. “Okay! You can have them if you want, but you have to buy them with money!” Elder Gao said with a proud smile, then turned around and threatened the girls: “What? Aren’t you coming forward yet? The last one to arrive dies first!” “What should we do?” Jin Xue was anxious and quickly asked Cheng Hong Ling and the others. “Is the farce finally over?” Qi Huang clapped her hands, then stood up and looked around, saying: “My friends, don’t listen to him. From this moment on, you are no longer the baits of the Immortal Alliance, but the baits of this immortal fairy.”
