Chapter 75: Clone Wants to Resemble the Main Body in Three Obediences and Four Virtues
“Xieqisan? You… why are you asking about this?”
Wang Zong was caught off guard by the question.
“Just tell me if you know or not!”
Qi Huang was becoming a little impatient. She hadn’t directly asked Cheng Hong Ling or Xu Mei because she was afraid of arousing their suspicion. After all, she had had dealings with the Huang family before. Now, to find this guy, she was being “interrogated.”
“Ahhh! I know some, but not much!”
Wang Zong felt something was wrong and quickly covered up: “This Xieqisan comes from an evil cult in the mortal world called the ‘Juexian Cult.’ It only requires a very small dosage to dissipate the spiritual energy naturally present in ordinary people. In large doses, it can even dissipate the true qi of cultivators.”
“Is it that powerful? Can you tell me about the Juexian Cult?”
Qi Huang quickly pressed on.
“This Juexian Cult is made up of a group of notorious warriors. Its original intention was to eliminate cultivators, which can be seen from its name. Therefore, it has been listed as the number one evil cult by the Immortal Alliance.”
Wang Zong dared not delay and immediately explained.
“Eliminate cultivators? How dare they!”
Qi Huang was stunned. Cultivators were no different from gods in the eyes of ordinary people, and many seniors and mighty experts from powerful sects had already become immortals. Was this not openly challenging the gods?
“Not only are they bold, but they are also very powerful, almost present in every country in the cultivation world. Some weaker immortal sects have even been eradicated by them, resulting in rivers of blood.”
A solemn expression appeared on Wang Zong’s face.
“Why would they do this?”
Qi Huang was puzzled.
“It is said that they are doing this to champion the cause of men in the mortal world. Only by annihilating the immortal sects will women return to the mortal world, and men will be able to find partners.”
Wang Zong said with some uncertainty.
“Ah?”
Qi Huang was once again shocked by this naive idea and retorted, “Don’t they know that women flock to immortal sects not because it’s so great here, but because it’s unsafe outside? If cultivators are eliminated, who will protect the civilians? Then, both men and women will die. How can they talk about getting married and having children? Instead of this, why not find a way to eliminate those rogue ghosts!”
“Of course, they know, but warriors can only refine their bodies and not their qi, so they can’t deal with lone ghosts. Therefore, they have adopted this symptomatic method. Of course, this might also be a false slogan they shout to conceal their true intentions.”
Wang Zong speculated.
Qi Huang nodded thoughtfully. Advocating for the interests of all men, what a great and noble cause! Those who don’t know the truth are easily misled. It’s understandable why the Juexian Cult is so powerful.
“Do you know where I can find people from the Juexian Cult in Xihui Kingdom?”
Qi Huang asked in a low voice again. This was her ultimate purpose for coming to Wang Zong. She wanted to find her master through the clue of “Xieqisan.” As for why she didn’t go to find him directly, three years had already passed, and it wasn’t that easy to find him.
“I don’t know about that, but the Juexian Cult is also considered an illegal organization by the secular government. I think they must have some case files. If you really want to find them, you can check with the Yamen.”
Wang Zong suggested enthusiastically.
“Yamen?”
Qi Huang fell into silence, searching her mind for her contacts in the Yamen. Soon, a very suitable candidate appeared in her mind, the Prefect’s son, who was deeply infatuated with her.
“As the Prefect’s son, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to investigate such matters.”
Qi Huang thought so and was overjoyed.
Wang Zong found it strange why his junior sister was inquiring about this matter, but remembering his previous lesson, he wisely chose to remain silent.
Qi Huang thanked him politely and left Yangchun Courtyard under Wang Zong’s reluctant gaze.
Qi Huang began to think about her next plan. Now that she knew the Yamen might hold clues, she definitely had to go to the Prefect’s mansion. But the problem was that she was currently being ‘kept in a golden house.’ How could she persuade the main body to leave the HongHua Sect?
“How about I sneak away? Anyway, as long as I leave the main body’s spiritual sense range, she can’t forcibly capture me with the Soul Bond.”
Qi Huang’s first thought was to escape.
“No, what if I anger the main body, what if she gets angry?”
Qi Huang shivered again. The main body’s pressure was still terrifying to her, regardless of her cultivation level.
“Forget it, I’ll beg her first. If I can get permission, that would be best. If I can’t reason with her, then I’ll run. I don’t want to be an example of a rebellious clone set up by the cultivation world.”
After much deliberation, Qi Huang decided to try reasoning first. This way, she could say she had done her best.
Qi Huang made up her mind and soon returned to her residence. At this time, the main body was brewing spirit medicine.
“You’re still obedient. You know, I was ready to go catch you.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression was calm, but her words were like a blade.
Qi Huang was startled and could only cover her embarrassment with a silly smile.
“Don’t show that foolish smile anymore. Don’t you remember that you are the main body now?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s eyebrows shot up.
Qi Huang’s breath hitched, and she immediately lowered her head, her face flushing.
“Come, drink this bowl of spirit medicine soup. It will be beneficial for your cultivation.”
Cheng Hong Ling poured a bowl of medicinal soup and handed it to Qi Huang.
“You drink it, I don’t need it.”
Qi Huang politely declined. She had tasted the benefits and was now focused only on enhancing her spiritual sense. She didn’t care about her body’s cultivation at all, as it would only distract her.
“What do you mean you don’t need it? Do you really think you’re invincible just because your spiritual sense is a bit stronger? Your current cultivation level is only in the Juling Realm. Dragged down by this, even if your spiritual sense has reached the Huashen Realm, you might not be able to win against a cultivator in the Guiyi Realm, right? Some problems can’t be solved just by running away.”
Cheng Hong Ling said with great certainty.
Qi Huang was stunned. She had to admit that her main body’s insight was indeed sharp. It was indeed very difficult for her to deal with ordinary Guiyi Realm cultivators now, as spiritual sense only had a limited suppressing effect on opponents who were only one realm lower than her.
But don’t forget, she had her hair as a trump card!
Qi Huang did not dare to argue, so she obediently took the medicinal soup and drank it. Instantly, her whole body felt warm and full of energy.
“That’s right! Be obedient in the future, be in Three Obediences and Four Virtues to the main body, and only then can you be a good clone. Don’t act on your own whim. Be careful not to be infamous and be sent to the ‘Clone Virtue Academy’ for training.”
Cheng Hong Ling said with satisfaction.
“Cl… Clone Virtue Academy? What is that?”
Qi Huang stammered and asked.
“That is where the Immortal Alliance specifically trains bad clones. Every state has branches. I heard that even the worst clones become like little sheep after going in.”
Cheng Hong Ling teased.
“Ah?”
Qi Huang was truly frightened this time. She paced back and forth, struggling intensely in her heart. Thinking of how her master had openly confronted the high-level figures of the HongHua Sect for her, she gritted her teeth: “Even… even if I’m sent for training, I still have something to tell you. I want to leave the HongHua Sect for a while.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her movements stopped. She looked directly at the clone and asked, “Why?”
“I… I can’t tell you!”
Qi Huang took a step back.
“Then let’s not talk about it.”
Cheng Hong Ling turned her head away, completely ignoring Qi Huang.
“If… if I have to go?”
Qi Huang asked with a stiff upper lip.
“You have to go?”
Cheng Hong Ling turned back again, her red lips parting slightly, and teased, “Then it depends on whether you run faster or my Soul Bond runs faster.”
Although Qi Huang was unsure, for her master’s sake, she was willing to take the risk. As soon as the main body finished speaking, she used her spiritual sense to lift her body and fled outside, like a gale suddenly rising, with astonishing momentum.
Cheng Hong Ling didn’t even look. Her spiritual sense locked onto the clone’s position, and the Soul Bond chased after her at an even faster speed, completely beyond visual perception, giving a sense of “shrinking the ground into an inch.”
