Chapter 798: Who doesn’t want to defeat her?
“Who knows?” Elder Kang said with a wry smile.
“Who between you two is lying? Today is the day our Immortal Alliance purges rebels. Whoever dares to toy with this Alliance Leader will be dealt with as well.” Lu Lin felt his intelligence was insulted, so he reprimanded them sternly.
“Alliance Leader, please investigate! This junior is absolutely not lying. Young Master Huang indeed paid a deposit. Without money, I wouldn’t be working for free!” the old sorcerer from the funeral supplies shop pleaded as he knelt.
“Alliance Leader, spare us. Our Hundred Flowers Brothel also received a deposit from Young Master Huang. Without money, how would a group of weak women dare to show their faces in such a place?” the madam from the Hundred Flowers Brothel also knelt and explained.
“Alliance Leader, they do have a point. In this world, where are there so many good Samaritans who would cheer for others for no reason?” Elder Xiao next to him offered his opinion, and the other high-level figures also agreed.
“Where is that person named Huang? Wouldn’t it be clear if we asked him personally?” Lu Lin looked around.
“Reporting to the Alliance Leader, that guy hasn’t arrived yet,” Elder Kang replied.
“He’s truly a lunatic. It’s not a funeral, yet it’s not a celebration either,” Lu Lin couldn’t help but curse.
“Alliance Leader, isn’t this quite good? This kind of rich idiot is precisely the best target for us to win over,” Elder Xiao reminded him in a low voice.
Lu Lin thought about it and felt it was indeed so. His mood improved considerably, so he ordered, “Keep a close eye on him. As soon as that person named Huang appears, have him come to see me immediately.”
“Yes!” Elder Xiao accepted the order.
Lu Lin then reprimanded the old sorcerer, “Listen up, you. No matter what that person named Huang wants to do, only celebrations are allowed here today. If you don’t want to die, take your pile of junk and get lost immediately.”
“But…” Uncertainty appeared on the old sorcerer’s face. He knew that if he left like this, he would not only lose a great opportunity to make money but also break his promise to someone.
“So, you want to die?” Lu Lin’s face turned ferocious.
“Alliance Leader, please don’t be angry. This junior will leave immediately! This junior will leave immediately!” The old sorcerer broke out in a cold sweat and quickly fled with his two disciples.
The poor old sorcerer arrived outside the banquet venue and then used the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device to contact Qi Huang.
“Master Chen, what instructions do you have?” Qi Huang asked knowingly.
“Oh my, Young Master Huang! You should come quickly. The banquet has been occupied by people from the Immortal Alliance. They said only celebrations are allowed today, so they drove this old man out,” Chen Shifa cried.
“Don’t worry. Wait outside. You will be useful later. The reward we discussed before remains unchanged,” Qi Huang soothed.
“Alright then.” Chen Shifa could only agree reluctantly.
Qi Huang put away the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device and then flew towards the Hua Rong Sect.
On the other side, as Lu Lin appeared, the prominent figures who had received invitations from the Immortal Alliance entered the banquet venue one after another. Some came from immortal families like the Cao and Lü families, while others were from immortal sects like Supreme Peak and Jingtian Sect. There were powerful old monsters and exceptionally talented young people. They all walked with their heads held high, arrogant. The other onlookers could only watch enviously.
“I’m deeply grateful to all of you for gracing us with your presence today. Alliance Leader is extremely grateful. You’ve all traveled a long way, so please sit down and rest.” Lu Lin invited them somewhat courteously.
“Alliance Leader Lu, didn’t I hear that rebels were attacking today? Why have you set up a banquet?” Cao Hui of the Cao family asked in confusion. Standing beside him was his son, Cao Yang, who not only ranked first among the top ten monstrous talents of the cultivation world in the previous session but was also a strong contender for the future clan leader of the Cao family. The biggest blot on his life was being defeated by Qi Huang in a battle where he had the advantage in numbers.
“It’s time for a celebration banquet. Everyone has traveled far, and this Alliance Leader can’t let you go back hungry, can he?” Lu Lin explained triumphantly.
“Alliance Leader Lu truly has great spirit. The battle hasn’t even begun, yet the celebration banquet is already prepared,” praised Xiao Xi, the Sect Leader of Jingtian Sect. Standing beside him was Xiao Dian, another of the top ten monstrous talents from the previous session. His resume was similar to Cao Yang’s, and the biggest blot on his life was also being defeated by Qi Huang at the Zhu Xian Terrace in a battle where he had the advantage in numbers.
“Alliance Leader Lu, you shouldn’t be careless. Don’t forget that my uncle, Cao Hong, died at the hands of that little demoness. Her cultivation level has likely reached the early or even middle stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm,” Cao Hui tried to remind him.
“Hmph, how could a yellow-haired girl in her early twenties be so strong? She must have used some conspiracy or trickery. Our Immortal Alliance is immensely powerful. If we confront her head-on, how much of a storm can a few rebels stir up?” Xiao Xi said dismissively.
“A storm? Didn’t you see Alliance Leader Lu preparing a celebration banquet first? That proves that in his esteemed opinion, that country bumpkin can’t even overturn a dinner bowl,” Lü Gao of the Lü family said this time. His tone was no longer simply looking down on people but outright verbal attack. The reason was that his son, Lü Yi, had tried to pursue Qi Huang like a toad trying to eat swan meat, but it ended in vain, causing the entire Lü family to become a laughingstock in the cultivation world. Lü Yi was standing beside him at this moment, and the blot on his life was different from the two above, but it was also related to Qi Huang.
“Indeed, the strongest force in the cultivation world is Immortal Might. Beneath Immortal Might, all are ants. No matter how monstrous she is, trying to shake the entire Immortal Alliance with a mere Immortal Tablet from the Hua Rong Sect is undoubtedly like looking for death with a lantern in an outhouse,” Xiao Xi agreed.
Cao Hui stopped speaking because the more arrogant and self-important these people were, the more it aligned with his interests. After all, he was still waiting to make Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang his daughters-in-law.
At this moment, Qi Huang had arrived near No Night City with all her friends and relatives. She clearly investigated every high-level figure and disciple of the Immortal Alliance with her Spiritual Sense. She did not forcefully intrude but instead put on men’s clothing to disguise herself before grandly entering the city gate.
Qi Huang walked and stopped on the street, looking around. After a long while, she finally reached the Wenxiang Pavilion at the entrance of the Immortal Alliance Main Altar and began to act as the shopkeeper, directing the chefs and waiters. After all, the real Shopkeeper Bao had already fled.
As Qi Huang was directing, more than ten young men and women walked in and began to chat and drink tea. Qi Huang eavesdropped for a moment and quickly figured out their identities. They were the younger generation from the Nine Great Immortal Forces of the cultivation world, and several of them were among the top ten geniuses of the cultivation world.
The top ten geniuses of the cultivation world? Hearing this, Qi Huang immediately thought of Cao Guang, whom she had accidentally killed not long ago. That fellow was one of the top ten geniuses of this generation’s cultivation world, and he ranked second.
“Fellow Daoists, you all should know that the one leading the rebels to attack the Immortal Alliance Main Altar this time is the monstrous Saintess from the Hua Rong Sect. This woman not only defeated seven of the top ten monstrous talents from the previous session but is also the top ranker among the top ten geniuses of this session. This means she has dominated two eras single-handedly,” said Yang Se’er, the first Immortal Seed of the You Xuan Palace. Her appearance was similar to the current Saintess Yang Jin’er, both being petite and delicate loli-type girls.
“I’ve heard about it. However, people usually only hear her name but never see her. Whether she is truly that strong is yet to be known,” replied Zheng Wang, the current first Immortal Seed of Supreme Peak.
“Hehe, isn’t your cousin Zheng Wei the one who was defeated by her? And that was when seven people were fighting against one. Didn’t he tell you if she’s strong or not?” Lü Qi, the first Immortal Seed of the Lü family, teased from the side.
“Don’t be so sarcastic. If I remember correctly, your cousin Lü Yi also participated in that Continental Evergreen Convention. Why didn’t he fight against the Saintess of the Hua Rong Sect? Did he not want to?” Zheng Wang retorted.
“He couldn’t. His cousin was eliminated by my cousin-in-law Hua Yu,” Cao Yan of the Cao family explained. After Cao Guang’s death, he became the first Immortal Seed of the Cao family.
“Oh, so he didn’t have the qualification to fight her,” Zheng Wang said sarcastically.
“Why are you minding other people’s business? Your cousin Cao Guang was recently killed by that demoness. Have you avenged him? Or do you not want to?” Zheng Wang retorted in anger.
“Hmph, you don’t need to remind me. I will kill that demoness sooner or later to wash away the shame for the Cao family,” Cao Yan snorted coldly.
“Why wait until ‘sooner or later’? Isn’t there an opportunity today? Or are you afraid?” Zheng Wang resorted to provocation.
“Are you only talking about me? What about you? And everyone present, don’t you want to defeat her to wash away your shame?” Cao Yan was not stupid and asked everyone around.
The geniuses from the Immortal Forces exchanged glances and then fell silent.
Hearing this, Qi Huang curled her lips slightly. Watching these people discuss how to defeat her now was as laughable as watching a group of three-year-old children discussing how to fight their own parents.
“Young Master Huang, someone is looking for you outside.” Just then, Qi Huang suddenly heard a waiter call her.
“Who is it?” Qi Huang turned her head and asked in confusion.
“He said he is Elder Xiao from the Immortal Alliance,” the waiter replied.
“An Elder from the Immortal Alliance?” Qi Huang’s heart rejoiced, so she took off her apron and walked out. Soon, she saw the so-called Elder of the Immortal Alliance.
“Your surname is Huang, right? Our Alliance Leader wants to see you. Come with this Elder,” Elder Xiao commanded in a cold tone.
