Chapter 813: Immortal Tablet, Today I Will Tear It Apart for You to See (1)
Indeed, that little demon girl is now invincible. To avenge Uncle Cao Hong, we can only rely on the Immortal Tablet.
To ensure a fatal blow, it’s best to strike suddenly as Second Uncle Cao Kun suggested, catching her off guard. Otherwise, if she escapes, the consequences will be endless.
“Clan Leader, just summon the Hong Hua Sect. If we want to regain our honor, killing that demon girl alone is not enough. It’s best to suppress everything in the Hong Hua Sect.”
The people of the Cao clan suggested one after another.
“This is outrageous! You all know that my father is old, and his vital energy cannot be regenerated. If you make him activate the Immortal Tablet, isn’t that tantamount to harming him?”
Cao Hui, who was beside him, was furious.
“I know this will cause damage to the Clan Leader, but we really have no other choice now. If we don’t get revenge, how can the Cao family’s reputation survive?”
Cao Kun explained.
“If the Clan Leader is afraid of death, then abdicate. Find a vigorous clan member to take over, and then you can activate the Immortal Tablet without any worries.”
Cao Ying, Cao Hong’s son, said bluntly due to his bad mood.
“What did you say? You, a junior, disrespect your elders and dare to ask my father to abdicate?”
Cao Hui was furious.
“If one doesn’t even dare to avenge the clan members, what qualification does such a person have to be an elder? What qualification do they have to be Clan Leader?”
Cao Ying retorted.
“That’s right. As descendants of Immortals, the Cao family has a noble bloodline and supreme status. When did we fall to the point where we can be beaten and killed by anyone? If Grandfather Cao Meng is not capable of being the Clan Leader, then abdicate and make way early, otherwise, the Cao family will have no future.”
Cao Zhi, Cao Ying’s brother, also pointed out unceremoniously.
“Abdicate and make way? To whom? To you? Or to Second Uncle Cao Kun? With your cultivation levels, activating the Immortal Tablet, let alone killing that demoness, you can’t even kill the fleas on her body.”
Cao Yang mocked.
“Quiet!”
Cao Meng, with a gloomy face, reached out to press down and stated: “Everyone, as the Clan Leader of the Cao family, I naturally have the responsibility to avenge my brother Cao Hong. However, actively suppressing her with the Immortal Tablet is not the best strategy. It’s not that I’m afraid of losing that bit of vital energy, but I really don’t have much confidence.”
Cao Meng glanced around after speaking and continued to explain: “Actively suppressing with the Immortal Tablet is a dimensionality reduction attack for ordinary people. But don’t forget, that demon girl is likely a peerless expert in the late Heavenly Punishment Realm. With her strength, she is fully capable of escaping before the Immortal Might descends. So doing so is meaningless other than provoking hatred.”
The clansmen looked at each other, their faces showing helplessness, because they knew Cao Hong was not lying.
“Then, Clan Leader, is my elder brother’s revenge to be let go like this?”
Cao Kun questioned with a distorted expression.
“Don’t rush!”
Cao Meng frowned and appeased them, then said: “If we can’t actively suppress, we can let the Immortal Tablet passively suppress. As long as her name is carved on our Cao family’s Immortal Tablet, if she doesn’t enter the mansion by the deadline, she will be locked onto by the Immortal Tablet. At that time, no matter where she runs, she will not be able to escape this calamity.”
“Carved on the Immortal Tablet? Do you mean you want her to be Cao Yang’s wife or concubine?”
Cao Kun exclaimed in anger, and other relatives exchanged astonished glances.
“Can’t you understand what I’m saying? Being a wife or concubine is fake, killing her is real. The purpose of doing this is to allow the Immortal Tablet to lock onto her, understand?”
Cao Meng explained, suppressing his anger.
“Heh heh…”
Cao Kun smiled noncommittally and retorted: “Then, Clan Leader, what if she submits? Are you going to kill her? Or let her be your grandson’s wife? I think your real intention isn’t here.”
“What? Are you questioning my character? If you are not at ease, you can find a better method.”
“I will definitely comply.”
Cao Meng said ambiguously.
Cao Kun was speechless. Everyone else was at their wit’s end, and the main hall fell into dead silence.
“Everyone, don’t forget, that Qi Huang claimed that she would go to extract the Lu family’s Immortal Tablet at the beginning of next month. Perhaps, without us taking action, she will die at the hands of the Lu family.”
Cao Ying suddenly reminded.
“That would naturally be the best,”
Cao Zhi’s face showed joy.
“By placing our hopes in others, what great things can be achieved?”
Cao Kun scoffed.
“Indeed, as the number one noble family in the Cultivation World, how can we place our hopes on others? Those who accomplish great things cannot have any侥幸心理, so we must still think of countermeasures.”
Cao Meng rarely sided with them.
The brothers were immediately speechless, and their faces showed dejected expressions.
“I think the Clan Leader’s plan is quite good. Let’s follow what he said!”
“Yes, we believe in the Clan Leader’s character. When the time comes, if that demon girl doesn’t submit, she will die. If she submits, she will become a piece of fish on our Cao family’s chopping block, and we can punish her however we want.”
“There’s no need to consider further. What else can we do besides this method? Are we going to fight her with our own strength? At that time, not only Elder Cao Hong but many more would likely die.”
As time passed, the people in the main hall realized the Cao family’s predicament and began to support Cao Meng one after another.
“What do you think, Brother Cao Kun?”
Cao Meng smiled with satisfaction and then asked Cao Kun.
“Then let’s proceed according to the Clan Leader’s wishes. However, I hope you can keep your promise and not do anything that would make loved ones grieve and enemies rejoice. Such a demon girl who killed Cao family members is not worthy of being my Cao family’s daughter-in-law.”
Cao Kun softened after struggling for a moment.
How could ordinary people sit in the position of Clan Leader?
Cao Meng vowed to guarantee.
Cao Yang showed a hint of worry upon hearing this.
After the discussion, the relatives dispersed one after another.
“Grandfather, it seems that it won’t be easy for me to marry Cheng Hong Ling. The Cao Kun faction is determined to put her to death, and other clan members will likely have opinions as well,”
Cao Yang said with concern.
“What are you worried about? Don’t forget, your grandfather is the Clan Leader of the Cao family. Once she enters the mansion, I will have plenty of ways to protect her.”
Cao Meng smiled confidently.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qi Huang had already killed a lot in the Tencel Valley Treasure Land. After clearing most of the evil spirits inside, she then returned to the Hong Hua Sect with Cheng Hong Ling and Elder Kang.
August 1st was fast approaching, and countless idle people who wanted to watch the excitement rushed to the Lu family from all over the country. They wanted to see if Qi Huang really had the ability to extract the Lu family’s Immortal Tablet. After all, the Immortal Tablet was much harder to deal with than the Immortal Alliance.
The Lu family had also begun to be on full alert early on. Thousands of powerful clan members and servants patrolled day and night, guarding the mansion as impregnably as a fortress.
“We absolutely cannot be the second Immortal Alliance and become a laughingstock of the entire Cultivation World!”
This was the thought of everyone in the Lu family.
Qi Huang remained the same, sleeping until she woke up naturally every day. During this time, Mu Ruoyi and her mother visited several times, each time advising her to act within her capabilities and not to show off.
Qi Huang initially managed the situation patiently, but later she simply hid. At the same time, she used the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device to contact Jin Xue, Tang Yu Ning, and others, asking them to go to the Lu family on August 1st to watch the excitement. After all, these girls were also betrothed concubines of Lü Yi, so they naturally cared about this matter.
On August 1st, Qi Huang, as usual, brought her relatives and friends to the Lu family in Zhongzhou, Great Wall Empire.
When Qi Huang arrived, she found that the place was already crowded with millions of onlookers, and the scene was almost as lively as when she had destroyed the Immortal Alliance last time.
Qi Huang let out all her relatives and friends. Those fellow disciples had seen many grand occasions, so they all took out small stools and sat down to cool off, just waiting for the good show to begin.
However, the people closest to Qi Huang were restless. They knew how powerful the Immortal Tablet was, so their hearts were in their throats, and they couldn’t calm down.
“Is this the Immortal Tablet of the Lu family that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent sisters in our Shuiyu Valley?”
Mu Ruoyi and her mother looked up at the Immortal Tablet, which was several hundred Zhang tall, inside the Lu mansion. There was no fear on their faces; there was only visible hatred.
The other high-level figures and disciples of Shuiyu Valley had similar expressions. Most of them had lost their relatives in that unwarranted disaster.
“Don’t worry, after today, I guarantee that this Immortal Tablet will become a stepping stone in the outhouse of Shuiyu Valley,”
Qi Huang comforted them.
Upon seeing Qi Huang appear, Lü Yi’s betrothed concubines and family members also gathered around.
“Fairy Qi Huang, please do your best! This humble self does not wish to be Lü Yi’s concubine. You are my only hope.”
“Yes, if you can truly extract the Lu family’s Immortal Tablet and restore my freedom, it would be equivalent to my parents giving me life again.”
“Yes, yes, that Lü Yi is a playboy. My daughter marrying him is simply jumping into a fiery pit. If you can save her, I am willing to repay you by selling my entire fortune.”
The girls and their families expressed their stances.
“Hmph! A bunch of cheap sluts! Since you’re unwilling to marry this Young Master as a concubine, once that demon girl is dealt with, you will enter the mansion to be servants.”
Lü Yi threatened loudly from the main door.
