Chapter 577 Kill your way through (Part 2)
In contrast, Cheng Hong Ling walked with elegance, her pretty face as eternally unchanging as ten thousand years of mystic ice. Her cold demeanor made people naturally keep their distance.
Shi Yuqi and Yuan Protector also hurried to follow. Although they did not want to face the crowd outside, they followed closely, worried about the Saintess’s safety.
Next were Hua Meng and her disciple. With schadenfreude on their faces, they walked with the same “impatient” steps as Qi Huang.
The group at the very back was naturally the remaining members of the Hua Rong Sect. Fear was evident on their faces, and their steps were hesitant, showing their nervousness.
From this, it was clear that these twenty to thirty people from the Hua Rong Sect were all harboring different thoughts at this moment!
“Makeup? Is it necessary? It won’t be long before your faces are covered in blood.”
“Yes, to tell you the truth, the people who want to teach you a lesson today are lined up from No Night City all the way to Zhu Xian Terrace. One person’s spit alone could drown you!”
“Yeah, you said we were like chicks pecking at each other. You probably won’t even reach Zhu Xian Terrace today.”
“Haha, I was worried I wouldn’t find a suitable excuse to teach you a lesson, but unexpectedly, you’ve created an opportunity for everyone. As long as I defeat you, I can return to the sect with honor!”
“If I were from the Hua Rong Sect, I definitely wouldn’t go with you. So many people are looking for trouble, a casual brush with a powerful expert could send you to reincarnation, wouldn’t that be dying unjustly! You guys really picked a good Saintess!”
As soon as the people outside the inn saw Qi Huang, they started mocking her.
“Seeking death! Do you know who you are talking to?” Yuan Protector was furious and unleashed her terrifying Spiritual Sense.
“You… so what if your strength is great? This… this is the capital of the Immortal Arrival Empire, and fighting is… forbidden!”
“Yes… yes, I… the one I want to challenge is your Hua Rong Sect’s new… new Saintess. Are you, an old… old woman of several… several hundred years, ashamed to interfere?”
“Is this the Hua Rong Sect’s new Saint… Saintess? She needs sect elders to step forward when facing trouble, what’s the difference between her and a giant infant? She’s a hundred thousand miles behind Hua Yu! Your judgment is truly not to be complimented!”
A group of troublemaking cultivators trembled under the powerful Spiritual Sense, but relying on the strict security of No Night City, they gritted their teeth and retorted.
“…”
Yuan Protector was speechless for a moment. Her cultivation was indeed strong, but she couldn’t ignore the laws of such a super empire, as even among ordinary people, there were many powerful warriors.
“Since you know that fighting is forbidden in this city, why are you still here? Hurry up and guard outside the city! What if you’re slow and someone else gets there first?” Qi Huang reminded them calmly.
“No need. I will follow you like this. As soon as we leave the city, I will immediately propose a spar!”
“No reason to be attentive otherwise, unless it’s a trick. It’s a trick!”
It’s a trick! You want to send us away and then secretly escape by yourself!
“Don’t bother. Today, thousands of Spiritual Senses are likely locked on you. You won’t be able to fly even if you had wings!”
The group of troublemaking cultivators said persistently.
“Alright, as you wish!”
Qi Huang was not interested in dealing with these guys who were forcefully seeking attention. She continued on her way with light steps, her Spiritual Sense slightly emerging from her body to block the snow. Since she had decided to stir up trouble, she no longer needed to deliberately hide her strength from this moment on.
“Don’t rush off! Hold an umbrella!”
Shi Yuqi quickly handed over an umbrella, but when she got closer, she froze and exclaimed in surprise, “Spiritual Sense? It’s Spiritual Sense! You can really use Spiritual Sense, I wasn’t mistaken that night.”
The members of the Hua Rong Sect also showed a hint of surprise. Wasn’t the Saintess’s clone only at the Juling Realm cultivation level? Then why could she project her Spiritual Sense?
“Master, what’s there to be surprised about? Projecting Spiritual Sense is something achievable at the Guiyi Realm. My main body is already in the Huashen Realm. Is a clone at the Guiyi Realm that strange?”
Qi Huang casually fended them off.
Shi Yuqi was immediately speechless and complained in her heart: Is this about cultivation level? This is about integrity. You even lied to your own master, don’t you need to explain yourself?
The members of the Hua Rong Sect were all relieved upon hearing this. After all, projecting Spiritual Sense was not a rare thing, and they were too lazy to dwell on it.
As for the others, since they didn’t understand Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling at all, they looked on in a daze.
Qi Huang led her main body and the people of the Hua Rong Sect towards the north gate. The troublemakers and onlookers also gathered more and more, eventually forming a line more than a mile long following behind. This even caused No Night City to dispatch troops to maintain order.
Qi Huang looked at the long line behind her. She didn’t feel ashamed but rather proud. She felt like she was leading thousands of followers, feeling quite pleased with herself.
The others were not so relaxed. Although the Hua Rong Sect was powerful, they couldn’t withstand a human wave attack. If they all rushed forward at once, it would be over.
“Junior Nephew Hua, do you remember what I told you a few days ago? If someone provokes you after we leave the city, please help the Saintess to resist.”
Yuan Protector felt that something was wrong, so she walked to Hua Meng and her disciple and requested in a low voice.
“Then what does she mean? Senior Uncle Yuan, you haven’t forgotten my request, have you? If you want me to help, you can, but you have to carry me back to the Hua Rong Sect!”
Hua Meng reiterated her demand.
“Uh…”
Yuan Protector was immediately speechless. If the Saintess were willing to yield, why would she be seeking help at the last minute.
“It seems she is unwilling, so let’s not discuss it. I am not the Saintess, nor am I a saint!”
Hua Meng was very unaccommodating.
Junior Nephew Hua, we are all from the same sect, do we need to be so confrontational? Can’t we negotiate?
Yuan Protector said helplessly.
“Yuan Protector, when you asked me to carry her sedan chair, you didn’t plan to negotiate with me!”
Hua Meng took the opportunity to press her advantage.
Yuan Protector had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
“Hmph! She actually didn’t agree. I’d like to see how she deals with so many troublemakers.”
Hua Meng sneered.
“Isn’t it better that she didn’t agree? Once she loses face for the Hua Rong Sect, her position as Saintess won’t be stable, and you can take her place!”
Ping Yan beside her reminded her, as if the reputation of the Hua Rong Sect had nothing to do with her.
As they were about to leave the city, Yuan Protector still called out to Qi Huang.
“Saintess, wait! Have you thought about how to get to Zhu Xian Terrace?”
Yuan Protector asked anxiously.
“Kill our way through, how else?”
Qi Huang said as a matter of course.
“If only we could kill our way through!”
Yuan Protector shook her head helplessly and then solemnly warned:
“Do you know that once you step out of the city gate, at most I can guarantee your life. If they propose a spar, then I will be powerless and can only rely on yourself. Once you fail, the consequences will be very serious!”
“Don’t worry! When have I ever disappointed you?”
Qi Huang comforted them and was about to step out.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the troublemakers all rushed forward, each one eager, afraid of missing the opportunity to bully a weaker opponent.
“Wait!”
At this moment, Cheng Hong Ling’s voice rang out.
“What is it?”
Qi Huang turned back and asked in confusion.
“Don’t forget, I am the main body. I can’t let you be at the forefront.”
Cheng Hong Ling said with firm steps as she walked forward.
“Alright! Let you try first!”
Qi Huang smiled helplessly and shifted her body slightly.
“Jiang Ling, I’ll give you another chance. If you agree to my request, I can help you deal with these people!”
Hua Meng spoke again.
“No need. I told you, if I can carry your sedan chair once, I can carry it for a lifetime!”
Cheng Hong Ling walked towards the city gate without looking back.
“Simply overestimating yourself! It seems I thought too highly of you. The Hua Rong Sect will surely remain the Hua family’s alone.”
Hua Meng showed a look of disdain.
As soon as the troublemaking cultivators saw Cheng Hong Ling walk out, they swarmed out of the city gate.
“Speak, will you come one by one, or all at once!”
Cheng Hong Ling turned around and asked after reaching the main road outside the city.
