Chapter 430: You Have To Pay The Price For Bragging In Front Of Me
“Winner, Number One!”
The Immortal Alliance disciple announced at this time.
Qi Huang was about to go down to finish the job, but the surrounding cultivators swarmed forward.
…
“Immortal Qi, let me handle the melon seed shells for you.”
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s useless for you to carry them anyway, and it’s troublesome.”
“Immortal Qi, we have prepared the best Qing Tian melon seeds in the Cultivation World for you. They have thin skins and thick flesh, and are full of spices. Eating one will leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth for ten days without rinsing. Would you do us the honor?”
“Immortal Qi, what’s so good about melon seeds? We have scoured the Prefecture Capital for you and bought the best Spirit Medicine to make a table of delicacies. Eating them can not only beautify and nourish, but also prolong life. We hope you will grace us with your presence!”
…
The cultivators were emotionally charged, pushing and shoving, and the scene was very chaotic.
Qi Huang’s path was blocked, and even her Main Body was affected. She gritted her teeth and scattered the collected melon seed shells to the side.
The cultivators’ eyes instantly turned red, and they pounced on that direction like famished beasts. After all, those were silver!
Qi Huang was then able to break free. She didn’t rush back to the team but walked towards where Ma Yi was.
Cheng Hong Ling, fearing her clone might act erratically, followed behind worriedly. The disciples of Hong Hua Sect also followed.
At this time, Ma Yi had already stood up with the support of the HaiZhi Sect group, indicating that Cheng Hong Ling did not try to kill him. Unfortunately, the matter was not over yet.
“How is it? Are you alright?”
Qi Huang walked over with a charming smile and asked.
“Man… Many thanks for your concern, Immortal Qi. I’m fine!”
Ma Yi replied very politely, a completely different person from before, after all, he was a defeated opponent.
“That’s good. Do you still have the strength to knock your own teeth out?”
Qi Huang slightly raised the corner of her mouth.
“Uh…”
Ma Yi was stunned. He didn’t expect the other party to be so difficult to deal with.
“Cheng Hong Ling, don’t go too far. We’ll have to see each other around in the future.”
“Yes, we’ve already been beaten by you like this, what more do you want? we are all Immortal Sects from Yongning Prefecture, and there’s still a long way to go.”
“You should know clearly whether we kicked you while you were down three years ago!”
…
The disciples of HuXiao Sect said indignantly. The voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the surrounding sects, so everyone gathered to watch the excitement.
Cheng Hong Ling frowned slightly, thinking to herself, what does this have to do with me? A clone is a clone, and I am myself. Whoever wants to deal with you, go find them.
Qi Huang was not angry either. She looked at the Sect Leader of HaiZhi Sect with her clear, watery eyes and said, “Sect Leader Kang, everyone saw the bet between me and this Ma Yi. If it were me, I wouldn’t stand up for him. He’s just an external disciple, not someone from HaiZhi Sect, and might leave at any time! You’ve lost your credibility for him, how can you establish yourselves in the Cultivation World in the future? This is probably a loss that outweighs the gain, right?”
The surrounding cultivators started whispering when they heard this, and many nodded subconsciously.
“Sect Leader Kang, you need to think carefully. Although I’m not a HaiZhi Sect disciple, I’m at least a conscientious Immortal Seed. If you stand by and do nothing, who would be willing to join your HaiZhi Sect in the next Evergreen Convention? Then your HaiZhi Sect won’t be able to get any more resources in the future.”
Ma Yi sensed something was wrong and reminded them, seemingly trying to renege.
When Sect Leader Kang heard this, his face also showed a struggling expression. If he didn’t step forward, he would lose the favor of this external Immortal Seed. Who would be willing to join his sect in the next Evergreen Convention? If he stepped forward, HaiZhi Sect would be considered a rogue and unable to establish themselves in the Cultivation World in the future.
“Heh heh, next Evergreen Convention? The rules of the Immortal Alliance are like the weather in May and June, changing on a whim. Who knows if external disciples will even be allowed in the next Evergreen Convention?”
Qi Huang immediately retorted.
‘Forget it. In this situation, only by protecting myself can I minimize losses. As for the next Evergreen Convention… who knows what will happen? We must not lose the big for the small.’
Sect Leader Kang, being an old man, quickly figured it out. He then said, “As the saying goes, a person without credibility cannot stand. Our HaiZhi Sect has relied on treating people with integrity to develop to this day. Little friend Ma, since you are temporarily still a member of HaiZhi Sect, you must abide by the rules. If you lose, you must fulfill your promise.”
“You…”
Ma Yi was shocked and enraged. He didn’t expect the other party to betray him. With a ferocious expression, he said, “Fine, then I, Ma Yi, will withdraw from HaiZhi Sect now. That way, you won’t have the qualification to command me.”
“Are you going to do it or not? Do you need me to help you?”
Qi Huang’s gaze became sharp. How dare he default on a debt in front of her? He was simply tired of living.
“What if I don’t do it? What can you do to me? I am a direct disciple of Elder XX of XX Sect in Xitong Kingdom. If your Hong Hua Sect offends me, you will have no good end!”
Ma Yi threatened with impunity.
Cheng Hong Ling’s brows furrowed deeply. The next moment, her Spiritual Sense at the Huashen Realm Fifth Layer suddenly erupted, crushing towards Ma Yi. She also disappeared from her original position.
Qi Huang had intended to deal with it herself, but she didn’t expect her Main Body to make a move in advance, which caught her off guard.
It was even worse for Ma Yi. Firstly, he didn’t expect the other party to actually dare to attack. Secondly, he didn’t expect their Spiritual Sense to be so powerful. By the time he wanted to resist, it was already too late, and his whole body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Cheng Hong Ling rushed forward and smashed Ma Yi’s mouth with the hilt of her sword without any fancy moves.
“Thump!”
A clear sound of flesh colliding was heard.
Ma Yi clutched his mouth and staggered backward, then fell to the ground.
Cheng Hong Ling acted as if nothing had happened. She condensed water True Qi in her right hand and carefully washed the sword hilt. Because she acted so quickly, no one noticed that she had used Spiritual Sense exceeding Huashen Realm Third Layer. They all thought Ma Yi was injured and slow to react.
Ma Yi let go of his hand and saw a few teeth lying there. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his lips quickly began to swell.
“Waaah…”
The next moment, Ma Yi cried out in pain, covering his mouth. His eyes looked at Cheng Hong Ling with obvious fear in their depths. He didn’t expect that she hadn’t used her full strength on the stage.
“Remember, no one can brag in front of me without paying the price.”
Qi Huang glanced around as a warning, then turned and left without delay. She was eager to collect her money.
…
“As expected, Cheng Hong Ling acts decisively as the legend has it, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement.”
“Nonsense. Why do you think the Yin and Yang realms of Huang Tian Prefecture fear her so much?”
“This Ma Yi is also like that. Since he’s already injured, why did he have to persist? A true man can bend and stretch. He should have just swallowed his teeth and endured in silence. This way, he could at least save his reputation. Now, he’s lost both teeth and reputation.”
“Everyone listen up. From now on, in front of Cheng Hong Ling, you must act and speak with utmost respect, otherwise, this Ma Yi is a prime example.”
…
The surrounding cultivators also whispered with fear.
Qi Huang beckoned to her fellow disciples and headed towards the betting area. Unexpectedly, they encountered Lü Er midway.
“Well done. You are getting closer to my requirements for a legal wife. As long as you meet me in the final duel, your name will immediately appear on the Lü Family’s Immortal Tablet.”
Lü Er said with admiration.
“I’m not interested!”
Qi Huang casually replied and then quickened her pace.
The corner of Lü Er’s mouth lifted slightly, thinking to himself, if you knew my true identity, you probably wouldn’t think that way.
“Hurry up, okay? Taking money and dragging your feet. It seems you people aren’t short of money. I should have bet it all on myself instead of lending it to you.”
Qi Huang impatiently urged the more than ten fellow disciples behind her.
“Junior Sister, the money is with the bookie, it’s not going anywhere. What’s the hurry?”
Ruan Lingyu chided, and the other senior sisters nodded in agreement.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. When they arrived at the betting area, they found it in chaos. The cultivators who had bet on HaiZhi Sect to win were clamoring for their money back, and some had even started snatching it.
