Chapter 709: You’re Still Apologizing
Qi Huang’s crazy move not only stunned all the decoys but also caught the thousand disciples of the Immortal Alliance off guard, all staring at her dumbfounded.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear clearly, say it again?”
Cheng Hong Ling narrowed her beautiful eyes and questioned. Her sensitivity had a reason: her clone was always at risk of complete feminization.
“Huh? This Immortal Elder! This Immortal Elder! Sorry, it just slipped out. I absolutely didn’t intend to refer to myself that way.”
Qi Huang awkwardly corrected herself.
At this moment, the thousand disciples of the Immortal Alliance recovered and Zheng Chi also narrowed his eyes, stepping forward to question, “What did you just say? I didn’t hear clearly, say it again?”
“You didn’t hear clearly? Then I’ll say it again.”
Qi Huang asked with confusion. Turning around, she fearlessly looked at the group of decoys and announced, “I declare that from now on, these decoys belong to this Immortal Elder.”
The group of decoys looked at each other, their eyes wide, and then took a few steps back, fearing that any splatter of blood might affect their intelligence. Only a few female disciples from the Hong Hua Sect and the three princesses, Tang Yu Ning and her companions, were exceptions.
“It seems they are unwilling!”
Zheng Chi mocked.
“Of course, I don’t like to force others. If you still want to be decoys for the Immortal Alliance, that’s fine too.”
Qi Huang said magnanimously.
“Are you fools? If you continue to be decoys for the Immortal Alliance, you’ll be chopped into several pieces soon. Hurry up and come over.”
Ruan Ling Yu anxiously reminded them.
“That’s right. If you follow our Junior Sister, not only can you leave the Tencel Valley Treasure Land safely, but all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures you find will be yours. Can the Immortal Alliance guarantee that?”
Yun Fei enticed.
“You’re making me laugh. How dare you make such a guarantee? Do you even know how dangerous this Tencel Valley Treasure Land is? There are more than ten evil spirits inside, with strength comparable to cultivators in the Heavenly Punishment Realm.”
Zheng Chi tried to scare them with contempt before addressing the decoys: “Be good decoys for the Immortal Alliance. Even if you die, this Elder guarantees that your Life Souls will be safely brought out. If you follow them, you might not even be able to save your Life Souls.”
The girls looked at each other, unsure of what to do for a moment.
“It seems you doubt my strength.”
Qi Huang shook her head helplessly and then said to the group from the Immortal Alliance, “Since they can’t make up their minds, let your Immortal Alliance people set an example. I want these decoys. Who agrees and who opposes? Please raise your hands if you oppose, but I must warn you, raising your hand arbitrarily will lead to death.”
“Hahaha…”
Zheng Chi heard this and burst into laughter again. He looked around and said, “Brothers, everyone raise your hands. I’d like to see how you can die under this Elder’s nose.”
“I object. I’d like to see how you kill me!”
“I object too. If you want to kill, hurry up and seize the opportunity, or it will be our turn to kill you later.”
“If you object, just object. Why are you pulling up my left hand?”
“Why aren’t you raising your hand? Are you afraid of her?”
“Don’t you see I’ve already raised my right hand? Should I raise my feet too?”
“That would be great! It’s been a long time since I’ve met someone who dares to provoke the Immortal Alliance. It would be a disservice to her courage if we didn’t raise all four limbs.”
Most of the Immortal Alliance disciples, hearing this, laughed and raised their hands. Some even flew into the air, raising both hands and feet.
What’s going on? Don’t you trust this Elder to protect you? Do you still want to stay in the Immortal Alliance?
Zheng Chi said with some dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, the few disciples who hadn’t raised their hands also did so.
“They all raised their hands, and then what?”
Zheng Chi smiled with satisfaction and then provocatively looked at Qi Huang.
“Then? Then they die, of course.”
Qi Huang smiled sweetly, but her powerful Spiritual Sense surged out amidst her casual talk, forming a ring above her head and constantly expanding. Then, it descended from the sky.
“Boom!”
The massive ring warped space and then heavily smashed onto the earth, completely enveloping all the Immortal Alliance disciples on the outer perimeter. Dust flew everywhere, and faint sounds of crisp bone fractures could be heard.
Zheng Chi’s expression became stiff as he slowly turned his head. His Spiritual Sense passed through the swirling dust, and he saw a circular沟壑 (gully) with a diameter of about ten feet appear around him. His hundreds of disciples had turned into piles of rotten flesh mixed with the mud at the bottom of the沟壑 (gully), with only dazed and bewildered Life Souls escaping.
Did I… did I die? How did I die?
It seems… it seems I was suppressed to death by her Spiritual Sense!
How… how is this possible? Why does she have such… such powerful Spiritual Sense? To eliminate hundreds of cultivators above the Huashen Realm in one blow?
Hundreds of Life Souls exclaimed in shock. If not for a few Elders remaining alive, they would have been scared to death even if they had become ghosts.
This can’t be blamed on me. Your Elder Zheng forced you to raise your hands.
Qi Huang explained with an innocent face.
Elder Zheng, why didn’t you save us just now?
Elder Zheng, I didn’t want to raise my hand at first, but you forced me to. Now that I’m dead, shouldn’t you be responsible?
This is too unfair! I was also forced to raise my hand. Why was I killed? Elder Zheng, give me back my life!
Hearing this, the Life Souls immediately swarmed towards Elder Zheng.
Elder Zheng only then recovered his senses and quickly took a few steps back, his face showing apprehension. The other three Elders were also the same.
How could she be so strong?
The group of decoys also looked at Qi Huang in disbelief. They had never dreamed that among their flock of sheep, there would be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, directly catching the self-proclaimed hunters off guard.
Elder Zheng, didn’t you say you would protect them just now? Why didn’t you protect them? Don’t you want to, or can you not?
Qi Huang teased.
Zheng Chi’s face was filled with vigilance, and for a moment, he didn’t dare to retort.
My sisters, you can choose now, right? Will you follow the Immortal Alliance or me?
Qi Huang asked the decoys who had raised their hands again.
The group of decoys no longer hesitated. They swarmed towards Qi Huang. Since following the Immortal Alliance meant certain death, they might as well try their luck.
Oh dear! Poor Elder Zheng, you have no decoys left now and are a lone commander. How will you explain this to the Alliance Leader when you go back! I’m worried for you.
Qi Huang said sarcastically.
Who exactly are you?
Zheng Chi gritted his teeth and asked. He had wanted to save them earlier, but this woman suddenly attacked, and her Spiritual Sense was extremely fast, leaving him no time to react.
I am Wen Renyu’s clone. Didn’t you see me come out of her Sea of Consciousness?
Qi Huang said with a half-smile.
This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Wen Renyu is so young. Let alone a clone, even her true self wouldn’t have such powerful Spiritual Sense!
Zheng Chi slowly took out his treasure sword, and the other three Elders did the same.
“Hey, hey, Elder Kang, didn’t you say I was your life mentor? How can you draw your sword against your teacher?”
Qi Huang reminded him.
“I’m sorry, I was forced to draw it. They all drew theirs, and if I didn’t, wouldn’t I be out of place?”
Elder Kang explained awkwardly.
“Then if they rush over later, will you have to rush with them?”
Qi Huang teased.
“I’m sorry, I’ll probably have to rush reluctantly.”
Elder Kang’s expression became increasingly guilty.
“Still apologizing, still apologizing.”
Zheng Chi was furious.
“I must remind you, rushing reluctantly is still rushing. I will not let go of anyone who rushes at me. Before you rush, you’d better ask your heart and don’t have any guilt.”
Qi Huang earnestly reminded him. If this old fellow dared to charge at her again, she would no longer hold back.
“Why does this sound so strange?”
Ruan Ling Yu touched her smooth chin curiously.
“Really? Where is it strange? Isn’t it very normal?”
Yun Fei asked curiously.
“Spreading heresy to confuse people, you little bitch! You dare to kill hundreds of disciples of my Immortal Alliance, and you’ve even made one of our Elders’ heads so muddled! If I don’t eliminate a rebel like you today, then this Elder will truly feel guilty.”
Zheng Chi roared, and instantly, a set of specially made Nine Nether Demonic Cat clothes appeared on his body. Then, he disappeared from his original spot like a ghost. A cold sword light flashed and vanished, cutting through the fragile air and slashing towards Qi Huang’s delicate neck.
