Chapter 132: She entered the HeYi Sect alone.
The HeYi Sect had not been peaceful recently; the disciples who went to Panshan Village some time ago returned, but with heavy losses. One protector and three elders were all killed or injured, reportedly by the genius female disciple of the HongHua Sect.
“Elder Zhou told the people from the major sects that Cheng Hong Ling of the HongHua Sect had not reached the Huashen realm. Do you take me for a fool?”
Lin Feng immediately went to find trouble with Guardian Guo.
“No, no, no, Sect Leader! This may be Zhou deliberately lying, with the intention of not competing with our sect,” Guardian Guo explained earnestly.
“Nonsense, you must have been deceived. How can a mere protector be so blind? What use are you?” Lin Feng rebuked, immediately dismissing Guardian Guo from his position.
In this way, Guardian Guo and others not only lost their cultivation but also their status, not only losing the wife but also the soldiers. To put it bluntly, he was powerless now.
Lin Feng acted in this way for two main reasons: First, people never want to believe what they are unwilling to see; second, he did not want this news to affect the morale of the HeYi Sect.
Therefore, no matter what, Cheng Hong Ling could not be a Huashen realm expert, or at least not within the HeYi Sect.
…
At noon, two slender figures appeared at the foot of the HeYi Sect’s mountain. Upon closer inspection, they were two girls. Not only did they both have stunning beauty, but they also looked exactly alike, even their figures were identical. The only difference was their clothing and style.
Indeed, these two girls were Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling, who had come to cause trouble.
“You stay here, I’ll go alone. Otherwise, if we are exposed, we will be wiped out,” Qi Huang suggested.
“Don’t you have confidence in your acting skills?” Cheng Hong Ling taunted expressionlessly.
“Yes, but an act needs a stage. I’m afraid some hotheads will attack immediately and won’t give me a chance to show off my acting skills,” Qi Huang retorted with reason. In this poor and desolate place, not everyone could recognize a Huashen realm master.
“Tch!” Cheng Hong Ling gave her clone a slight sideways look and stood still with her arms crossed.
Qi Huang felt somewhat embarrassed, so she quickly flew towards the mountain.
Upon arriving at the HeYi Sect, Qi Huang did not intend to enter through the main gate. She directly found the most crowded place to land, hovering in the air about three to four zhang above the ground, her skirt and hair gently fluttering in the breeze. Coupled with her stunning face, she looked like an immortal descending to earth. Her high-profile actions immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“Who is this immortal? She’s so beautiful!”
“Judging by her clothes, she’s probably not from the HeYi Sect.”
“Nonsense, if the HeYi Sect had such a female disciple, it would have been known far and wide long ago.”
“I’ve seen her, she’s that genius female disciple from the HongHua Sect, Cheng Hong Ling!”
“I thought the rumors about her were exaggerated. Seeing her in person today, I realize it’s obvious that someone is deliberately suppressing her. With such beauty, you probably can’t find another one in the entire Xihui Kingdom.”
“What’s even more surprising is that such a beauty was born in a place like Huang Tian Prefecture.”
…
The onlookers were discussing animatedly, but more of them were marveling at Qi Huang’s beauty.
‘As expected, in these lower-level sects, both cultivators and mortals have little knowledge. Not many people realize the significance of my hovering in the air.’ Qi Huang shook her head in disappointment. Due to the male psychology, she was more concerned about her strength being noticed rather than her beauty.
“Lin Feng! Get out here! Your HeYi Sect is already surrounded by me!” In her annoyance, Qi Huang shouted impolitely. Her voice was already clear and melodious, and with the addition of True Qi, it echoed through the heavens and earth like the chirping of orioles in a secluded valley.
“Who do you think you are! You can’t just call out our Sect Leader Lin’s name like that!” Just then, a hothead stepped forward and shouted.
“Hurry back! Can’t you see how beautiful she is?” His companion quickly reminded him.
“So what if she’s beautiful? Can she marry me? If she can’t marry me, she’s just a rose in the fog. She even dares to provoke the Sect Leader, so I’ll beat her to death!” The hothead retorted.
“You make a lot of sense!” His companion fell into thought. Indeed, no matter how beautiful she is, if she’s not your wife, what’s the point? It’s better to flatter the Sect Leader.
“Are you saying that as long as I marry you, I can provoke the Sect Leader?” Qi Huang’s lips curved slightly, a seductive smile appearing on her face.
“Of… of course.” The hothead was instantly stunned and nodded foolishly.
“Are these HeYi Sect disciples? Their standard is too low!” Qi Huang mocked disdainfully. Her Spiritual Sense emerged from her body and pressed down on that hothead. The hothead, who was lost in his thoughts, suddenly felt immense pressure descending from the sky. He immediately fell to the ground, face-planting.
“Demoness, what did you do to him?” The surrounding disciples were furious and rushed forward one after another.
“Kneel!” Qi Huang exclaimed charmingly. Her Spiritual Sense swept out in all directions like a tidal wave. Even with an area attack, these disciples, whose cultivation levels were at most at the Body Refining realm, could not resist. Their legs softened, and a large group of them knelt down. The onlookers in the distance were so scared that they peed themselves and fled in panic.
“Who dares to cause trouble in my HeYi Sect!” Just then, a thunderous voice arrived, causing pain to people’s eardrums. Qi Huang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man with a pale face, about fifty years old, lunging forward with a long sword. His speed was astonishing. Although it wasn’t Lin Feng, he was also a master of the Guiyi Realm, likely a prominent figure in the HeYi Sect.
“It’s Guardian Jin! It’s Guardian Jin! We’re saved!” Someone below exclaimed with joy, as Guardian Jin was one of the two protectors of the HeYi Sect, with a cultivation level reaching the fifth layer of the Guiyi Realm, similar to Qin Quan.
“You kneel down too!” Qi Huang said calmly, concentrating most of her Spiritual Sense and crushing it towards him. Everyone watched as Guardian Jin, who was moving nimbly, suddenly froze. Like a startled bird, he unexpectedly fell down without any warning.
“Boom!” Guardian Jin was a mortal. Although he was not very heavy, when he fell to the ground, it was as if he was carrying ten thousand pounds. He crashed into the ground, creating a large pit. He knelt on the ground, his long sword supporting his body firmly, preventing him from collapsing on the spot.
“Oh no! Elder Jin has also knelt! Everyone, run!” The people peeking from a distance were terrified and fled in all directions.
“So… so strong spiritual pressure! Have you really… really reached the Huashen realm?” Guardian Jin’s forehead veins bulged, and he slowly opened his mouth to speak.
“You are also a protector of the HeYi Sect. Can’t you tell if I have reached the Huashen realm?” Qi Huang said contemptuously from above.
“Zhou… Zhou has deceived our HeYi Sect terribly.” Guardian Jin’s face turned extremely grim.
“As the saying goes, if you don’t court death, you won’t die. What does Elder Zhou have to do with the sins you committed?” Qi Huang couldn’t help but retort. Although she also disliked that person named Zhou, she really couldn’t blame him for this matter.
“Immortal Hong Ling! Welcome! May I know your purpose?” Just then, Lin Feng, with a dark expression, walked into the scene step by step. He had clearly learned from the previous people’s mistakes and did not dare to enter in a high-profile manner.
“I dare not accept your instruction! I just want Sect Leader Lin to give an explanation to the villagers of Bajiao Village and Panshan Village who were harmed by your HeYi Sect.” Qi Huang demanded with a cold expression. This time, it wasn’t an act, because this Lin was the main culprit. Thinking of those unfortunate villagers, she wished she could devour him alive immediately.
“I wonder what kind of explanation Immortal Hong Ling wants?” Lin Feng asked, trying to remain calm.
“That depends on how much value Sect Leader Lin thinks the HeYi Sect has,” Qi Huang said, her rosy lips curving slightly.
“What? If I refuse, do you intend to destroy our HeYi Sect, Immortal Hong Ling?” Lin Feng asked unbelievably.
“Why not?” Qi Huang retorted.
Lin Feng’s eyes blazed, and his teeth gnashed, clearly torn between making a desperate fight and preserving his life.
“What? Sect Leader Lin can’t make a decision? Shall I help you make up your mind?” Qi Huang sneered, her Spiritual Sense leaving her body and sweeping up several HeYi Sect disciples on the ground. She knew she had to strike while the iron was hot and not give the other party any breathing room.
“Save me! Sect Leader! Save me!” Several disciples flailed in the air, constantly calling for help.
“Fine! I will agree to any request you make,” Lin Feng said, his old face turning green and white. In the end, he surrendered.
“Good, you are quite wise. Otherwise, the HeYi Sect would disappear from this world today.” Qi Huang smiled appreciatively and then made her demand: “Three days later, you will personally go to the HongHua Sect to apologize to those villagers.”
After saying this, Qi Huang floated out lightly, adding mid-way, “By the way, don’t forget to bring your sincerity! Mere words might not be enough to save your HeYi Sect.”
