“Yes, the Immortal Alliance is the destiny of cultivators. As long as she is a cultivator, she must look up to the Immortal Alliance!”
“A cultivator at the Huashen realm at sixteen years old is indeed unprecedented in this small country, but what is she compared to those superpowers in Zhongzhou?”
“Right, for example, those descendants of immortals, some were born cultivators, and there were even sons of fortune who reached the Huashen realm before the age of ten, but in the end, weren’t they all tamed by us?”
…
Several stewards also began to attack one after another.
“Master, I do have an idea. That is to revise the rules of the next Evergreen Convention in Yongning Prefecture, increasing the number of participants to ten. What do you think? The HongHua Sect only has Cheng Hong Ling as a presentable disciple. Although she has already entered the Huashen realm, she will never be able to make much of a splash.”
Steward Cai took the opportunity to state his purpose.
“Didn’t you change the rules once before? Didn’t the Sect Leader of the HongHua Sect run to me to complain a while ago?”
Elder Zuo asked calmly.
“Yes, I changed the rules to a five-person team battle. Because the HongHua Sect disrespected the Immortal Alliance, I gave them a little punishment.”
Steward Cai slandered, while the truth was that he colluded with the HuXiao Sect to force Cheng Hong Ling to leave the HongHua Sect.
“You don’t need to explain to me, you need to explain to the public.”
Elder Zuo’s expression tightened slightly and he said, “It’s as easy as pie for our Immortal Alliance to deal with a young girl, but if we lose our prestige for it, it’s not worth it. Therefore, you must have a public reason for changing the rules.”
“Don’t worry, Master. I have explained publicly that the Immortal Alliance provides resources to help its subordinate sects grow stronger. The healthy development of a sect is not determined by a single disciple, but by the overall talent of the younger generation.”
Steward Cai quickly explained.
“The reason is a bit far-fetched, but it’s not without merit.”
Elder Zuo gave his affirmation, then made the decision: “In that case, I approve this matter. You can change the rules as you see fit. If ten people is not enough, then twenty; if twenty is not enough, then thirty. In any case, I don’t want to see her among the prefecture-level immortal seeds in the next Evergreen Convention.”
“Yes!”
Steward Cai was overjoyed.
“However, there is one premise: you must absolutely not damage the prestige of the Immortal Alliance. It’s not worth it for such a young girl.”
Elder Zuo reiterated.
“Elder Zuo, I don’t quite understand. Since we’ve decided to teach her a lesson, why not find a reason to strike directly? Any one of us here can make a mere early-stage Huashen realm girl kneel and beg for mercy. Why go through so much trouble?”
The dark-skinned steward asked inexplicably.
“Steward Wang, you don’t understand my intentions at all. I want her to submit, not to create hatred. If I strike directly, won’t we fall out completely? This is a sixteen-year-old genius at the Huashen realm, like a healthy ox or horse. Wouldn’t it be better to tame her and use her for our own benefit?”
Elder Zuo shook his head in disappointment.
“Master is wise. If you suppress her with rules, she will only think she’s not strong enough.”
Steward Cai quickly flattered.
“So I say, if she begs for mercy one day, we can give her a chance to atone for her sins.”
Elder Zuo said very “generously,” then changed the subject: “But that’s for later. For now, we need to find a way to deal with the problem that Qi Huang has caused the Immortal Alliance. She lied about recovering her True Qi, and we can’t ignore it.”
“How about this, Steward Cai, you personally go to the HongHua Sect at the beginning of next month and publicly expose her lie. This way, she won’t be able to hold the Immortal Alliance hostage anymore.”
After a moment of thought, Elder Zuo commanded.
“Yes!”
Steward Cai immediately accepted the order.
…
Yaoyao needed to go out to rob again, so she entrusted the more than ten Nine Nether Demonic Cats to Qi Huang.
Qi Huang did not ask for help. Although she knew that the troublemakers would return soon, she was not worried at all. She was, after all, a pseudo-Shentong realm expert. With her spiritual sense active, who would dare to easily break in? Besides, those people didn’t know her background.
Therefore, she publicly announced her recovery of True Qi not because she was afraid of being killed, but simply because she didn’t want the entire HongHua Sect to be in chaos.
“If a strong cultivator attacks, you’d better not make a move, not even pretend to. I’ll handle it.”
Cheng Hong Ling came to instruct her.
“Why is that?”
Qi Huang asked doubtfully.
“But the problem is, if you make a move, your strength will be exposed, which is not beneficial for participating in the Evergreen Convention.”
Cheng Hong Ling reminded her. She could guess with her knees that the Immortal Alliance would definitely try their best to suppress her in the next Evergreen Convention, so exposing her strength was definitely not a wise choice.
Qi Huang was overjoyed. She knew that if the main body said this, it meant she tacitly allowed her to intervene during the Evergreen Convention.
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression was unnatural: “Don’t misunderstand, I’m not necessarily asking for your help. I’ll wait until I can’t get into the top twenty. After all, the seed of the Jinming Flower is not just for me alone…”
“I understand. It’s just that the people who want me dead this time are from the highest levels of the Xihui Dynasty, and the ones they send could be some extremely powerful old monsters. You might not be able to handle them.”
Qi Huang said with some concern.
“When I can’t handle it, you can make your move.”
Cheng Hong Ling said stubbornly.
Qi Huang didn’t want her main body to take risks. She began to think of countermeasures in her mind. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her: “That’s right, I can completely release that Huang Tian to impersonate myself, and I can disguise myself as someone else to be a bodyguard. Won’t this solve the problem?”
“Huang Tian, are you talking about that brainless clone?”
Cheng Hong Ling confirmed.
“Yes, although those female spirit souls are disobedient, Huang Tian has no brain. She can’t move, she’s completely a puppet. She’s the most suitable to replace me. It’s only half a month until the first of next month. It’s normal for cultivators to be in seclusion for half a month without moving, right? It won’t arouse anyone’s suspicion.”
Qi Huang became happier as she spoke.
“You, you are truly cunning. No wonder you were able to deceive my senior sisters for such a long time before.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s cherry-like mouth hung open in dumbfounded astonishment.
“What do you mean cunning? I’m intelligent and beautiful, okay?”
Qi Huang proudly raised her small head, then felt something was wrong: “Intelligent and beautiful, isn’t that used to describe girls? Am I a man or a woman!”
“Oh no, my head hurts again!”
Qi Huang patted her head fiercely, as roughly as picking a watermelon.
“What’s wrong? Does your head hurt again?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked doubtfully.
“It’s nothing!”
Qi Huang smiled casually, secretly thinking that after this matter was resolved, she would immediately enter the dreamscape to find a way to solve her split personality as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be a small matter if she didn’t know if she was a man or a woman, but if she liked men, it would be truly over.
Of course, Qi Huang was just mocking herself. As long as her spirit soul was not completely feminized, she would not fall in love with men.
“But the problem is, have you thought about who you want to impersonate to protect yourself?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked again.
“Who do you think wants to protect me the most right now?”
Qi Huang retorted.
“His Majesty!”
Cheng Hong Ling answered after a moment of thought.
“That’s right. He wants me to enter the palace as an Imperial Concubine, so naturally, he doesn’t want me to have any accidents. Sending a powerful expert to protect me is only natural. Therefore, this identity will not arouse anyone’s suspicion.”
Qi Huang slightly raised her rosy lips.
Next, Qi Huang immediately took action. She first disguised herself as a man, and then released Huang Tian to replace her. The entire process was done skillfully.
Because Huang Tian was a clone, she also had a clone mark between her eyebrows. Her appearance was exactly the same as Qi Huang’s.
“They are indeed exactly the same, but the problem is that your souls are different. If a cultivator investigates, they will see it at a glance. No one can know that you have a clone, not even the people in the HongHua Sect.”
Cheng Hong Ling reminded her with concern.
“Have you forgotten how I tricked you before? Directly cast a spiritual sense shield on her. With my current spiritual sense strength, who can break through?”
Qi Huang replied calmly, as she had already solved this problem before.
For the sake of prudence, Qi Huang cast a very powerful soul shield this time. cultivators who had not reached the late stage of the Shentong realm could not break through at all, let alone warriors. They did not use spiritual sense themselves.
In short, in the current Xihui Dynasty, no one could see Huang Tian’s true identity, as even the three top cultivation world experts had not reached the late stage of the Shentong realm.
Of course, the Yin-Yang Eyes were an exception.
After completing all this, Qi Huang also cast a similarly powerful spiritual sense shield on herself before quietly sneaking out of the HongHua Sect.
At the same time, Cheng Hong Ling announced to the public that her clone, Qi Huang, needed to go into seclusion for half a month.
“Come on! Come on! Anyone who wants to kill me, come! It’s been a long time since I acted, and I feel like ants are crawling all over me.”
Qi Huang stood in the air, exuding an imposing aura as if she could stop ten thousand soldiers.
