Chapter 75: The Great Battle Begins (1)
The two chatted idly, with Qi Huang, unable to move, being carried by her main body.
In the cultivation world, there has always been a consensus that the body is the vessel used by the Heavenly Dao to punish troublesome beings, carrying impurities and constantly plagued by illnesses.
Cheng Hong Ling was different. She was the peerless immortal fairy of the HongHua Sect, reaching the Huashen realm at the age of sixteen. Her exquisite body had long been cultivated to be pure and flawless. Coupled with the enhancement of the Golden Life Flower, she was already curvaceous and exuded a mature charm at a young age. Her cold demeanor constantly created a strong sense of contrast, making timid men feel inferior and bold men feel a desire to conquer.
Qi Huang was lying on her main body. She was already familiar with the scent of the Jinming Flower, but the fragrance of a young girl still made her heart flutter. Moreover, with their bodies pressed tightly together, the main body’s soft and supple form was as elastic as jelly, delicate and smooth. It made her feel as if she couldn’t extricate herself, wishing she could stay like this forever.
Of course, there were regrets. She no longer had the support of male hormones. No matter how much her heart fluttered, it always felt like scratching an itch through a shoe, lacking the intense stimulation of before. Perhaps this was the emotional experience unique to women, subtle and reserved.
Cheng Hong Ling also soon fell into a state of reverie, but it wasn’t due to physical contact. Instead, she was reflecting on her previous loss of composure.
‘It’s strange. I am her, and she is me. I have gone through countless life-and-death situations over the years; why did I lose my composure like this this time?’
Cheng Hong Ling couldn’t figure it out. She never considered herself someone who feared death, so she shouldn’t have lost her composure because of her clone’s predicament. Recalling her even more panicked actions upon discovering Qi Huang’s coma made her feel extremely ashamed!
‘With this state of mind, how can I dare to cultivate? How can I dare to be called an immortal fairy?’
Cheng Hong Ling constantly mocked herself and desperately reflected, but she could never find an answer.
In fact, it’s as the saying goes: when you’re in the midst of it, you’re blind, but an observer can see clearly. Because Qi Huang possessed her own personality, in Cheng Hong Ling’s eyes, she was no longer simply a clone but an independent individual.
As their feelings gradually deepened, Qi Huang’s importance in Cheng Hong Ling’s heart naturally grew. This was why she acted so out of character. Of course, this indirectly reflected that Cheng Hong Ling now valued Qi Huang more than herself.
Of course, it was the same in Qi Huang’s heart. This was why she hadn’t directly brought her two brothers to the HongHua Sect.
The two returned to the HongHua Sect lost in thought. Cheng Hong Ling followed Qi Huang’s instructions, trying to drive away visitors and, as for persistent nuisances like those senior sisters, she absolutely wouldn’t let them get too close.
Although Qi Huang was seemingly lying still, she had her own arrangements. She was using her spiritual sense to constantly monitor the cultist from the Juexian Cult. In fact, her spiritual sense had never left him since she saw the two of them meet.
Because the cultist was not a cultivator, he could not detect that he was being monitored. He continuously contacted the cult members outside, reporting Qi Huang’s situation using the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device.
During this period, Qi Huang also learned about this person’s situation. His name was Bi Xin. On the surface, he was an ordinary person who came to the HongHua Sect to purchase residency rights. In reality, he was an informant arranged by the Juexian Cult.
Of course, she also saw the “Eavesdropper,” which looked like an ordinary bamboo tube on the surface but was actually an extraordinary magic treasure. If placed by the ear, it could hear sounds from dozens of li away, and its range and distance could be adjusted.
The more Qi Huang looked, the more eager she became. If she could get her hands on this thing and combine it with Yaoyao’s spiritual sense shielding, wouldn’t she become invisible? From then on, she could go anywhere, no matter how dangerous. Thinking about it this way, her desire to possess it became even firmer. After all, what reason was there to refuse something that was delivered to her doorstep?
…
In a mansion in the Prefecture Capital, four or five men were discussing matters in the living room. Sitting at the head was Xiao Sha, the Altar Master of the Juexian Cult, who had previously pursued Qi Huang and left her nowhere to run.
“Everyone, I’ve gathered you here today because there are important matters to discuss. We may have to launch a large-scale operation.”
Xiao Sha said in a low voice. He was tall and robust, with dark, oily skin, exuding a beast-like aura.
“Altar Master, what kind of operation?”
The high-level figures below exchanged glances, and then someone asked.
“Hall Master Pan, you are in charge of our sect’s affairs in Huang Tian Prefecture. Please brief everyone on the situation.”
Xiao Sha glanced at a refined middle-aged man with a goatee below.
“Yes!”
Hall Master Pan complied. He stood up, cupped his fists, and bowed before asking, “Everyone should have heard of the HongHua Sect, right?”
“Of course. That’s the weakest cultivation sect in Yongning Prefecture!”
“That was in the past. In recent years, a genius girl emerged from within their ranks, reaching the Huashen realm at just sixteen years old. Therefore, the HongHua Sect is no longer at the bottom of the barrel in Yongning Prefecture.”
“Are you referring to that Cheng Hong Ling? I’ve heard about her. Reaching the Huashen realm at sixteen years old, her talent is comparable to the top immortal seeds of those super sects in Zhongzhou. If she is allowed to grow, our Juexian Cult will have another deep-seated threat.”
…
The several hall masters below whispered amongst themselves, their expressions solemn.
“It seems everyone has heard of the HongHua Sect! Indeed, several years ago, this sect was the weakest immortal sect in Yongning Prefecture. Based on the principle of avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, the Altar Master has focused his main targets there all these years, ordering me to constantly monitor their movements and launch a fatal blow at any opportunity. I didn’t expect Cheng Hong Ling to suddenly rise to prominence, so this plan was temporarily shelved.”
Hall Master Pan spoke eloquently. As he said this, his eyes lit up, “But heaven rewards the diligent. Recently, I received news from an informant that for some reason, that Cheng Hong Ling’s clone has fallen into a coma and cannot recall her Sea of Consciousness, leaving her stranded outside.”
“What? Such a thing has happened? That is truly heaven helping us.”
The several hall masters immediately exclaimed excitedly, as everyone knew what this meant.
“I think everyone has guessed it. Killing a cultivator in the Huashen realm is not easy, but killing a clone that has fallen into a coma and cannot be summoned back is as easy as killing a chicken,” Hall Master Pan sneered.
“This is why I’ve summoned everyone. Opportunity knocks but once. If we can seize this chance to eliminate Cheng Hong Ling, then the entire HongHua Sect will only have some insignificant shrimps and crabs left, making it effortless to destroy them. At that time, the over one hundred thousand women within will be completely liberated, and the men of Huang Tian Prefecture will all benefit,” Xiao Sha concluded.
“Altar Master, give the order! For the benefit of all men, I will stain the gates of the HongHua Sect with blood!”
“Yes, even if it means not returning, I will let those women know that immortal sects are not heavens, and even if they enter, they won’t become aloof immortal fairies. I can still bring them back to reality.”
“We must also let those women in the secular world see that there are plenty of women in this world. What nonsense about rarity being precious? Once an immortal sect is destroyed, there will be tens of thousands of women competing with them. Sooner or later, their status will be worse than that of dogs!”
“Our Juexian Cult has been dormant for so long, and it’s time to show our presence. Otherwise, those outside will still think we’re really afraid of the Immortal Alliance.”
…
The several hall masters expressed their determination one after another.
“Very good! I’ve seen everyone’s determination! But determination alone is not enough; we must formulate a complete plan. After all, our target this time is not just to kill Cheng Hong Ling, but to completely annihilate the entire HongHua Sect.”
Xiao Sha smiled with satisfaction and then began to draw up a detailed plan.
…
Qi Huang lay still for three days, and the Juexian Cult finally made its move!
On this morning, thousands of warriors arrived from all directions, surrounding the HongHua Sect.
Leading the way, Xiao Sha, like a wild beast, arrived at the gate of the HongHua Sect in a few leaps through the forest, and then challenged with a thunderous voice: “Cheng Hong Ling of the HongHua Sect, listen up! I, Xiao Sha, Altar Master of the Juexian Cult, have heard that you have entered the Huashen realm. I have come today specifically to engage in a martial arts discussion. Please come out and offer your guidance!”
