Chapter 75, Chapter 161: Stop Acting, I Beg You (4)
“I knew Elder Zheng wasn’t that kind of person!”
“Yes, our Yuxiao Sect is a reputable righteous sect with strict rules and good conduct. How could a bandit become an elder? She’s insulting us!”
“Insulting? I think it’s extortion! Given that HongHua Sect is located in the poor and rough Huang Tian Prefecture, I think she’s gone mad with poverty and wants to get something for nothing. Vermin can’t produce good people.”
“This Cheng Hong Ling is framing Elder Zheng, intending to ruin the reputation of our Yuxiao Sect. She’s utterly despicable, and this matter absolutely cannot be let go.”
…
Upon hearing this, several high-level figures gained confidence and began to verbally attack Qi Huang.
Qi Huang was furious, but then smiled with relief because she had long been psychologically prepared for such a situation.
“It seems you were right, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Liu Lei, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has also sold his conscience. It looks like he’s going to deny it for the sake of the Yuxiao Sect’s reputation.”
Qi Huang sent a Mind Transmission to her main body. Sect Leader Liu’s full name was Liu Lei.
“If that’s the case, then we can only resort to drastic measures. No matter how many masters the Yuxiao Sect has, I will save my father today.”
Cheng Hong Ling replied firmly.
“Don’t act yet! Haven’t I started my performance? It’s not too late for you to make a move after I mess up. Don’t forget the plan we discussed at the beginning.”
Qi Huang reminded her urgently.
“Cheng Hong Ling, you have slandered my purity and damaged the reputation of the Yuxiao Sect. How should this debt be settled?”
Zheng Wei, believing he had the upper hand, stepped forward and said aggressively.
“Sigh!”
Qi Huang let out a sigh with an unknown meaning, then looked at Sect Leader Liu, lamenting his lack of ambition, and said, “Sect Leader Liu! Seeing you, I finally understand why the Yuxiao Sect ranks fifth in Yongning Prefecture in terms of strength.”
“You little brat, how dare you insult me?”
Liu Lei, enraged, stood up from his throne.
“No, no, no, I’m praising you! With your vision, to develop the Yuxiao Sect into the top five is truly an exceptional performance.”
Qi Huang added insult to injury.
“You’d better give me a satisfactory explanation, otherwise, even though we are both under the Dao Alliance, as an elder, I have the right to teach you how to behave.”
Liu Lei’s gaze was cold and piercing.
“Teach me how to behave? You mean teach me to lie? May I ask you, is that what the shopkeeper of Juyin Auction House told you just now?”
Qi Huang narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, confronting him.
“Is there any doubt? How could I, the dignified Sect Leader of the Yuxiao Sect, lie?”
Liu Lei said proudly, looking around.
“If that’s the case, then you don’t mind giving me the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device, so I can verify it myself?”
Qi Huang extended her fair hand to ask for it.
Liu Lei was slightly stunned, then fell into awkward silence.
“What’s wrong, Sect Leader Liu! This matter concerns my father’s safety. Is it unreasonable for me to confirm with the shopkeeper of Juyin Auction House?”
Qi Huang asked with a half-smile.
“I’m sorry, this Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device belongs to Protector Fang, and I have no right to let you use it.”
Liu Lei said calmly, while glaring at Protector Fang next to him as a warning.
Protector Fang wanted to speak but stopped, but ultimately did not dare to object.
“Indeed! I can understand!”
Qi Huang nodded in agreement, then calmly took out a Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device from her embrace and said, “Then I can use my own to contact Juyin Auction House, right? Would you all like to hear? This thing can amplify sound. If you are willing, the entire Yuxiao Sect can hear it.”
Liu Lei and Zheng Wei saw this scene, and their expressions completely stiffened. They never dreamed that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl could be so meticulous.
“It seems you’ve defaulted? Then please listen carefully!”
Qi Huang reached out to open the lid of the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device.
“You little brat, questioning the Sect Leader in public is a great disrespect to him. I definitely cannot let you succeed.”
Zheng Wei could no longer remain calm. He casually accused Qi Huang, then drew the sword behind him, disappeared strangely from his original spot, and charged towards Qi Huang like a gust of wind. The blade of his sword gleamed coldly, aimed at Qi Huang’s throat. At this point, his goal was no longer to extort “Cheng Hong Ling,” but to kill “Cheng Hong Ling” to eliminate future trouble.
‘Heh, want to silence me? Can you do it?’
Qi Huang couldn’t help but mock in her heart. Her Spiritual Sense suddenly emerged from her body, transforming into an invisible waterfall, pouring down on Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei had already rushed close, a triumphant smile on his face. In his opinion, such a young girl could not possibly have a higher cultivation level than him. At most, she had just entered the Guiyi Realm, and killing her should be effortless.
Liu Lei and the others turned a blind eye. If Zheng Wei could kill “Cheng Hong Ling,” it would be a good thing for the entire Yuxiao Sect. Not only would their reputation be preserved, but they would also not fear retaliation, as everyone knew the strength of the HongHua Sect.
Unfortunately, they were wrong!
As Zheng Wei was about to strike Qi Huang to kill her, he suddenly felt a tremendous pressure descending from above. Caught off guard, his legs went weak, and he slid directly towards Qi Huang on his knees. To others, it looked as if he had suddenly come to his senses and was begging for mercy.
“Elder Zheng! We intend to fight to the death, why do you kneel first?”
An elder rebuked him angrily, lamenting his lack of resolve. After all, no one would release their Spiritual Sense for no reason, so they had no idea what had happened.
“Spiritual… Spiritual Sense pressure? Such strong Spiritual Sense pressure! You… you have reached the Huashen… Huashen… Huashen Realm!”
Zheng Wei had no time to pay attention to the elder who accused him. His face showed terror, and he wanted to stand up, but his legs were weak due to his inner fear, and he failed several times.
“What? Spiritual Sense pressure? How is this possible? The Spiritual Sense pressure that can make him kneel directly must be at least at the Huashen Realm!”
“Could it be that Cheng Hong Ling has already reached the Huashen Realm? Weren’t there rumors before?”
“Impossible, a Huashen Realm genius at fifteen or sixteen years old, let alone in a rat’s nest like Huang Tian Prefecture, is impossible even in the entire Xihui Dynasty.”
“Yes! Elder Zhou of HuXiao Sect personally went to HongHua Sect to debunk the claim. Now everyone knows she is a fake Huashen Realm genius.”
…
Several high-level figures looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.
“How laughable that you have lived for sixty years and still cannot understand such a simple matter. Had that person surnamed Zhou told the truth, all the Immortal Sects in the world would come to recruit me. Would they still have a chance then?”
Qi Huang said mockingly.
Upon hearing this, the faces of several high-level figures showed a look of sudden realization.
“This person surnamed Zhou is truly detestable! To have deceived everyone! If she is truly a Huashen Realm genius, then she is an unprecedented peerless genius in the Xihui Dynasty! Offending her, our Yuxiao Sect will surely have no good end in the future!”
“Yes! Reaching the Huashen Realm at fifteen years old, what a terrifying cultivation speed. With just a few years, it would be no more difficult to destroy our Yuxiao Sect than to crush an ant.”
“It seems we must keep her here today! Otherwise, it will be like letting a tiger return to the mountains.”
…
Several high-level figures discussed among themselves and quickly made a decision.
“Still want to silence me? Didn’t you just claim that the Yuxiao Sect is a reputable righteous sect? Have you forgotten so quickly?”
Qi Huang taunted.
“I don’t care if you are a Huashen Realm genius or not! If you dare to make a move in the main hall of our Yuxiao Sect, you will have to pay the price!”
Liu Lei’s roar sounded like thunder from a clear sky. He knew that there was no turning back now. He could only go all out to capture this brat, and then the situation could be resolved.
Qi Huang’s heart instantly tensed. Liu Lei was a genuine Huashen Realm master. If he attacked directly, she would be exposed immediately. Her only hope was that this guy would test her with his Spiritual Sense.
As if blessed by heaven, Liu Lei, perhaps out of arrogance, did not attack directly but mobilized his powerful Spiritual Sense, transforming it into an invisible mountain, suppressing Qi Huang’s head. However, everyone present could release their Spiritual Sense, so they could all see it clearly.
‘Compete with Spiritual Sense? I, Qi Huang, have never feared anyone!’
Qi Huang was immediately delighted. She gathered her entire Spiritual Sense, forming a fist the size of a room, and punched the mountain above her head.
