Chapter 470: Immortal Might Descends, Shuiyu Valley Destroyed (1)
“Immortal Tablet? What Immortal Tablet?”
“I’ve heard of Immortal Tablets before. They seem to be monumental tablets erected by aristocratic families or sects with immortal ancestors, containing the immortal might of immortals, which mortals cannot withstand.”
“So, what does this have to do with that monster from the Lü family wanting to marry Cheng Hongling?”
“I’m not sure about that. There have been no immortals in the neighboring countries before. I’ve only heard about it from cultivators who have been to Zhongzhou.”
…
The cultivators below also discussed.
“Number four wins.”
The disciples of the Immortal Alliance cautiously walked into the arena to announce.
Seeing that there was no more entertainment, Qi Huang put away her stool and gracefully landed.
In front of the main hall, the two stewards of the Immortal Alliance had ashen faces, like zombies.
“Master, what… what was the extent of her spiritual sense before? She actually blocked the full blow of a peak Huashen Realm cultivator so easily?”
Cai De asked tremblingly.
“At least the early stage of the Shentong Realm.”
Elder Zuo spoke with a solemn expression.
“Early Shentong Realm? I don’t understand. What kind of magic treasure or cultivation technique in this world can allow a person to elevate their spiritual sense to the early Shentong Realm within two to three years!”
Cai De shook his head repeatedly in disbelief.
“You don’t understand? I don’t understand either! Such outrageous things have never happened in the entire cultivation world.”
Elder Zuo gritted his teeth and said.
“Then what do we do now? Are we just going to watch her dominate with one trick? It’s a small matter that Qi Huang provoked us, but her existence clearly challenges the order of the entire cultivation world. If we can’t control this brat, what will happen to the reverence of us cultivators? What will happen to the reverence of the Immortal Alliance?”
Steward Cai asked helplessly.
“Now, we can only place our hopes on those few Body Protection Talismans. If her spiritual sense hasn’t reached the third level of the Shentong Realm, then there’s still room for maneuver.”
Elder Zuo took a deep breath, then added, “But no matter what, that monster from the Lü family has taken a liking to Cheng Hongling. This is a huge disaster for my granddaughter and grandson-in-law.”
“Then what should we do?”
Steward Cai asked with concern.
“We can only deal with it later. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to stop that Qi Huang outside the threshold of the final round.”
Elder Zuo said, gritting his teeth.
“Then should we inform her about the Immortal Tablet?”
Cai De asked after a moment of thought.
“Why would you proactively tell her? Do you want her to become the young madam of the Lü family sooner?”
Elder Zuo frowned slightly.
“No, no, no, how is that possible? As you know, once that monster from the Lü family engraves Cheng Hongling’s name on the Immortal Tablet, Shuiyu Valley will suffer a devastating disaster. As stewards of the Immortal Alliance, if we stand by and do nothing, I’m afraid it will affect our reputation.”
Steward Cai explained haltingly.
“Affect what reputation? We are stewards of the Immortal Alliance, not Qi Huang’s butler. What responsibility do we have to tell her? You’re overthinking it.”
Elder Zuo glared fiercely at Cai De. He wished he could devour Qi Huang and Cheng Hongling alive right now, so how could he kindly remind them?
…
“What is this Immortal Tablet that guy mentioned?”
After returning to the HongHua Sect’s team, Qi Huang asked blankly.
“I just heard someone say that Immortal Tablets are monumental tablets erected by cultivation families or super sects for their immortal ancestors. They contain the spiritual pressure of immortals, which mortals cannot resist, not even those in the Heavenly Punishment Realm.”
Wang Zong explained from the side.
“So strong? Even the Heavenly Punishment Realm cannot resist it?”
Qi Huang showed a look of surprise.
“That’s only natural. No matter how strong someone in the Heavenly Punishment Realm is, they are still mortals. If they could resist it, it wouldn’t be called immortal might.”
Qin Quan chimed in from the side.
“But the problem is, why did that Lü Er inexplicably mention the Immortal Tablet? What connection does it have to him wanting to marry Hong Ling?”
Xu Mei frowned and asked.
The people around exchanged glances, and this was also the most confusing part for everyone.
“Perhaps it’s a show of force? To make Junior Sister willingly marry into the Lü family?”
Ruan Lingyu tentatively speculated.
“I don’t think his tone was like showing off, but rather like coercion.”
Yun Fei retorted.
“Excuse me, everyone!”
Just then, a crisp voice rang out. Everyone turned to look and saw the Sixth Princess, Lin Ran, approaching.
“Does the Sixth Princess have any advice?”
Qin Quan asked respectfully.
“Is she here to concede?”
Qi Huang’s inner energy instinctively gave rise to such a thought.
“Junior Sister Cheng, I heard that the Saintess of Shuiyu Valley has engraved your name on her grandmother’s tombstone?”
Lin Ran did not approach Qi Huang but instead asked Cheng Hongling, who stood proudly and independently, with a hint of anxiety on her face.
“Yes.”
Cheng Hongling replied with slightly parted lips.
“Quick! Immediately have them remove your name!”
Lin Ran urged anxiously.
“Why?”
Cheng Hongling frowned and asked. Although she also wanted to do so, she at least needed to know the reason.
” you should all know about the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet. Any woman whose name is engraved on it by that Lü Yi represents that she is his wife or concubine. Whether you are willing or not, if you do something to betray him, you will immediately be suppressed by immortal might.”
Lin Ran quickly explained the situation.
“Sixth Princess, you must have heard that my junior sister has apparently formed a union with the Saintess of Shuiyu Valley, and her name has already been engraved on Senior Wen’s tombstone. What will happen if that’s the case?”
Yun Fei asked doubtfully.
“If you are already someone’s wife or concubine, then the Immortal Tablet will target the male ancestor’s tombstone for erasure. Your name is currently engraved on Senior Wen’s tombstone, which means Shuiyu Valley is your husband’s family. Therefore, they now only have one choice, which is to remove your name as soon as possible. Otherwise, if immortal might descends, not only will Senior Wen’s tombstone be lost, but the surrounding area for dozens of miles will also suffer devastating blows, and Shuiyu Valley will be completely wiped out.”
Lin Ran explained as detailed as possible.
“What?”
Everyone from the HongHua Sect widened their eyes in fear.
“Sixth Princess, when will the attack of immortal might descend?”
Qi Huang could no longer remain calm and quickly asked with a trembling voice.
“The attack will descend the moment Lü Yi engraves Junior Sister Cheng’s name on the Immortal Tablet, so quickly have them remove your name. It will be too late if you delay further.”
Lin Ran instructed with sympathy and urgency.
Qi Huang dared not delay any longer and immediately took out the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device to contact Mu Ruoyi.
“Oh my, it’s really like the sun rising from the west. Junior Sister is actually contacting Elder Sister first.”
Mu Ruoyi, completely unaware of the impending disaster, teased after the call.
“Elder Sister Ruoyi, where are you now?”
Qi Huang couldn’t joke around anymore.
“I’m in our Prefecture Capital. At this time, Sister is also participating in the Evergreen Convention. Let me tell you some good news, Sister has entered the top ten. I haven’t disgraced you, have I?”
Mu Ruoyi boasted proudly.
“What? In the Prefecture Capital? Damn it! Forget about participating in the Evergreen Convention, hurry up and notify the people in your sect to remove my… my main body’s name from your grandmother’s tombstone.”
Qi Huang urged haltingly, dense beads of sweat already appearing on her fair forehead.
“Junior Sister, are you really that heartless? Haven’t I treated you well?”
After a long moment, Mu Ruoyi said softly.
“It’s not heartlessness, listen to me.”
Qi Huang, sweating profusely, explained the matter of Lü Er.
“What? Such a thing happened?”
Mu Ruoyi was also shocked. She never dreamed that she, a beauty, would one day attract such a calamity.
“Stop dallying and take action quickly, otherwise your Shuiyu Valley will be finished.”
Qi Huang urged, wiping her sweat, her heart pounding so hard that her ears were ringing.
“No, you know my grandmother was buried in a geomantically auspicious place. Her tombstone contains the power of the Heavenly Dao. Only my mother and I can remove Junior Sister Hong Ling’s name, and we are both in the Prefecture Capital right now.”
Mu Ruoyi said with difficulty.
Qi Huang was dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected such a thing to happen, so she quickly explained the situation to Lin Ran, who was beside her.
“Then have her quickly notify the fellow disciples to evacuate Shuiyu Valley. They must at least move further than a hundred miles away to ensure their safety.”
Lin Ran calmly instructed.
Qi Huang then relayed this method to Mu Ruoyi.
Mu Ruoyi and her mother dared not delay. While using the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device to notify the disciples in the sect to evacuate, they rushed back to Shuiyu Valley at full speed. Because they didn’t know when the immortal might would descend, not only were there low-level disciples in the sect, but also hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. If the evacuation was too slow, the consequences would be unimaginable.
…
Meanwhile, in the Lü family of the Weiyuan Empire, Lü Er’s soul had returned to his main body.
“You were actually killed by her?”
Lü Yi looked at his Heavenly Soul clone with a look of astonishment.
