Chapter 702 Qi Huang Appears
The moment Cao Hong and the others appeared, the doubts in Qi Huang’s mind were instantly resolved. She had been wondering why the Immortal Alliance’s reinforcements would openly rendezvous with the team, and their strength didn’t seem impressive. It turned out the real reinforcements were hidden in Zhao Xi’er’s sachet. “You… who are you?”
Zhao Ming never dreamed that several “burly men” would jump out of his daughter’s sachet. He turned pale with fright and trembled all over, but he still tightly gripped the item known as the “Heaven Mending Crystal” with his right hand.
“Immortal Alliance, Cao Hong! Surprised? Unexpected?”
Cao Hong taunted.
“Cao… Cao Hong… Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance?”
Zhao Ming stammered, his lips losing all color.
“Alliance Leader, not Deputy Alliance Leader. Does the Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom not have such basic manners?”
Cao Hong’s old face darkened, and then he reached out and commanded, “Hand over the Heaven Mending Crystal obediently, and you won’t suffer.”
“Impossible! This is for treating my daughter’s injuries.”
Zhao Ming hurriedly shoved the Heaven Mending Crystal into his clothes.
“You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink!”
Cao Hong’s gaze sharpened, and his spiritual sense directly pulled Zhao Ming to his front. He then said with a slight tremor, “Heaven Mending Crystal, the number one healing divine medicine in the Cultivation World, and you, a lower-class person with your daughter’s inferior bloodline, can use it? It’s a waste of heaven’s gift to have it in your hands all these years.”
Zhao Ming trembled with anger, but he couldn’t even blink his eyes, let alone retort.
After saying this, Cao Hong reached out and snatched the Heaven Mending Crystal, then casually threw Zhao Ming to the ground.
“Give it back to me!”
Zhao Ming bared his fangs and claws and lunged to grab it, but he was pinned to the ground by two disciples behind Cao Hong.
Qi Huang watched in a daze. As far as she knew, there were more than thousands of healing spirit medicines in the Cultivation World, many of them claiming to be able to revive the dead, but she had never seen anyone fight over them like this, especially with both parties being extremely noble.
What was so special about this Heaven Mending Crystal?
Qi Huang couldn’t help but speculate, so she quickly took out her clothes from her storage ring and began to disguise herself, preparing to seize this item for research.
Heaven Mending Crystal, such a good healing divine medicine, it’s unexpected that there’s only this much left.
After looking for a moment, Cao Hong’s face showed regret.
Alliance Leader, what should we do with this guy? Just kill him? It’s no use keeping him anyway.
The Immortal Alliance disciple holding Zhao Ming asked.
Only then did Cao Hong shift his gaze to Zhao Ming, his face showing naked killing intent.
You… if you still want more Heaven Mending Crystals, you’d better not be impulsive!
Zhao Ming spoke with difficulty, trying to find a glimmer of hope for himself.
Oh? You have more Heaven Mending Crystals?
Cao Hong’s interest was piqued.
Of course, otherwise, do you think I would carry all the Heaven Mending Crystals with me?
Zhao Ming retorted.
Cao Hong fell into thought, clearly considering the truth of this matter.
Alliance Leader, I think this dog emperor is definitely lying, just to save his life.
The disciple holding Zhao Ming immediately made a conclusion.
Cao Hong frowned, then said, “Let’s keep him here for now. It’s better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn’t.”
Yes, the Alliance Leader is wise.
The disciple flattered.
Cao Hong scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense and found that the storage ring he was in was actually inside the carriage. It was inconvenient to go out like this, so he controlled the storage ring and flew outwards.
The National Preceptor Yang in the carriage was lost in thought when he suddenly found the storage ring in front of him flying away. He reached out to grab it, but only got an empty hand.
Cao Hong controlled the storage ring and flew to the center of the camp, then appeared with several disciples.
The group of decoys and family members outside never dreamed that someone would appear out of thin air, and fell into dead silence.
Where did these people come from?
Someone asked blankly.
Not good, they are wearing Immortal Alliance clothes, they must be from the Immortal Alliance.
Those who reacted faster were immediately scared and stumbled backward.
Since they are from the Immortal Alliance, then die for me.
Having just suffered a setback, Jiang Wu Zun was eager to save face, so he rushed towards Cao Hong and his group impatiently. Although one of his hands was still bandaged, he was still so confident.
“So fast!” someone on the decoy side exclaimed.
“Kneel!”
Cao Hong casually glanced at Jiang Wu Zun. The powerful spiritual sense of the early Heavenly Punishment Realm immediately suppressed him, causing obvious spatial fluctuations, like a great river appearing out of thin air. It was absolutely not comparable to the small “ripples” of Jiang Wu Zun before.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, Jiang Wu Zun’s legs went soft and he knelt on the ground, pushing forward like he was plowing the earth. As a result, more than half of his body was buried in the soil, leaving only his large head exposed. His mask was also blown off, and his rough face showed an expression of shock, with blood gradually flowing from the corner of his mouth.
“Ah!”
The people on the decoy side were startled and retreated one after another, their swords and sabers going limp. They had seen Jiang Wu Zun’s strength, and before him, he couldn’t even resist. It was simply terrifying.
Cheng Hong Ling was also like this, but she was not afraid, but rather wanted to avoid being recognized by the other party.
The other female disciples of the HongHua Sect stood still and watched the show, pointing and commenting like spectators watching street performers.
“Why did Jiang Wu Zun suddenly burrow into the ground while running?”
Shen Yuan asked with confusion. With her Body Refining Realm cultivation, she naturally couldn’t see spiritual sense.
“Don’t know, maybe he was scared, so he wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill into.”
Ruan Lingyu analyzed, stroking her smooth chin.
“I think he wanted to dig a tunnel to escape, but because the shield was spherical, he hit a wall. Look, his nose is bleeding.”
Yun Fei had a different opinion.
The discussion of the three women was exceptionally clear in the quiet environment. Jiang Wu Zun was so angry that his blood boiled, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Cao Hong looked at the three girls, and his face showed a slight displeasure.
“Senior Sister, they’ve all retreated. Why don’t we retreat a few steps too?”
Miao Xiang suggested timidly.
“Coward, isn’t Junior Sister still holding up?”
Shen Yuan reprimanded.
“But Junior Sister has also retreated.”
Miao Xiang said aggrievedly.
“Ah?”
The three women turned their heads and saw that Cheng Hong Ling had retreated to the corner behind them at some point. Their faces changed, and then they awkwardly retreated backward.
“Alliance Leader Cao, did you get the items?”
Just then, Zheng Chi’s voice came from outside the shield.
“What? Alliance Leader Cao?”
Hearing this address, the people on the decoy side were so frightened that they trembled all over. They knew that the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance had also reached the Heavenly Punishment Realm, so even this Deputy Alliance Leader surnamed Cao was not someone they could resist.
“Got it. Elder Zheng, you’ve worked hard.”
Cao Hong praised politely.
“It’s not hard for the sake of the Immortal Alliance.”
Elder Zheng embellished himself.
Cao Hong looked around and then asked, “Elder Zheng, among them, which are decoys, and which are rebels?”
Zheng Chi wanted to step forward but was blocked by the spiritual sense shield. He could only say awkwardly, “Please, Alliance Leader Cao, remove your shield. I will come in and point them out to you.”
Cao Hong frowned. His spiritual sense emerged from his body and instantly dispersed the spiritual sense shield he had created.
“Flee!”
At this moment, several helpers on the decoy side felt that the opportunity had arrived and immediately used their movement techniques to escape outside.
The vast majority of people did not move, as they simply did not dare to flee.
“Isn’t this purely courting death?”
Qi Huang shook her head helplessly.
“Dare to flee under this Alliance Leader’s nose? You’re really tired of living.”
Cao Hong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his spiritual sense surged out, transforming into several large hands reaching out, instantly crushing those who attempted to escape into pieces.
This time, the people on the decoy side completely lost their will to resist, standing there tremblingly, like prisoners awaiting judgment.
Zheng Chi led a few disciples and quickly gathered the girls who were used as decoys. Then he reported to Cao Hong, “Alliance Leader Cao, these are the girls used as decoys.”
Ruan Lingyu felt it was necessary to explain, so she raised her jade hand and said, “Report, we didn’t intend to run away. We were sent by the Wen Family for training.”
“Don’t worry, you are the most well-behaved. I’ve seen it in my eyes, so there will be no punishment.”
Zheng Chi appeased her. As the Grand Elder, he naturally had to reward the deserving and punish the guilty.
“Yes, yes, yes, we are the most well-behaved, hee hee…”
Ruan Lingyu burst into laughter. No one knew why she was so “happy.”
“So, are the others all rebels?”
Cao Hong’s expression was unfriendly as he looked around.
“Yes.”
Zheng Chi confirmed.
“What rebels? Our mortal world does not belong to the management of the Immortal Alliance. What right do you have to impose guilt on us?”
Jin Xue’s Father Emperor, Jin Ze, argued forcefully.
“Yes, we are the emperors of the mortal world. You dare to commit insubordination. You are the real rebels.”
Tang Yu Ning’s father, Tang Cong, also spoke assertively.
“Good! Good! It’s been a long time since anyone dared to challenge the authority of the Immortal Alliance. It seems it’s time to make an example of you.”
Cao Hong revealed a sinister smile.
“Wait!”
Just then, a hoarse voice sounded, and then everyone found a heavily wrapped figure suddenly appearing at the scene. This shocked them again and made them tremble with coldness, thinking, has another big shot from the Immortal Alliance arrived?
However, what happened next was completely beyond everyone’s expectations. The uninvited guest openly reached out and asked Cao Hong, “Alliance Leader Cao, right? Give me that Heaven Mending Crystal to study, how about it?”
