Chapter 782: She Killed the Immortal Alliance’s Three Great Elders
How do you know? If you don’t want anyone to know, you shouldn’t have done it.
As the saying goes, hurting others will ultimately hurt yourself. You deserve it.
Aren’t you afraid I’ll reveal your true identity to the Immortal Alliance?
Wenren Jun said sternly.
You won’t be that foolish!
Qi Huang smiled calmly.
Why do you think I won’t? You killed three elders of the Immortal Alliance and brought disaster upon my Wenren family. We can’t bear such responsibility.
Wenren Jun retorted.
Qi Huang smiled noncommittally and said, “First, you found scapegoats to deceive the Immortal Alliance, leading to the death of the three elders. This is a heinous crime, and they won’t let you off easily even if you tell the truth. Second, by concealing my true identity, you’ve only offended the Immortal Alliance. If you leak it, you will offend both the Immortal Alliance and me. Even if the Immortal Alliance forgives you, I won’t. Third, you’ve already seen my strength. The Immortal Alliance may not be able to do anything to me. Doing this would be like a zero-kill enemy injuring yourself ten thousand times. It’s not worth the loss. Fourth, I believe in the wisdom of the Old Master Wenren. You should use your brain a bit, spend some money, and pull some strings. You should be able to handle the Immortal Alliance, right? Is there a need to break the fishing net with the fish?”
You’ve thought it through quite thoroughly. When you killed them, you already predicted that I wouldn’t reveal your identity, so you acted so recklessly and brought hatred upon our Wenren family!
Wenren Jun sneered repeatedly.
This is called reciprocity. You made us be scapegoats once, and now I’m making you the scapegoats. This is very fair.
Qi Huang said with reason and evidence.
Wenren Jun took a deep breath and then fell into silence.
Alright, since the Golden Life Flower Seed has been returned to you, we are even. The Immortal Alliance will be handled by the Old Master Wenren. Whether it’s sacrificing a pawn to protect the king, cutting off an arm to save the body, or if you really want to fight me to the death, it’s up to you.
Qi Huang left with a single sentence, then left gallantly with her main body and martial sisters.
“Father, what should we do now? If that woman is telling the truth, then our Wenren family is completely finished!”
Wenren Qing asked in panic.
“Don’t panic. You immediately contact your acquaintances at the Immortal Alliance Main Altar to confirm if this happened.”
Wenren Jun took a deep breath and ordered.
“Okay, I’ll ask right away. Maybe she was just intentionally trying to scare me?”
Wenren Qing suddenly realized and quickly picked up the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device to contact his acquaintances in the Immortal Alliance.
A moment later, Wenren Qing ended the call with a ashen face and reported to his father, “Father, it’s true. That woman was actually so insane that she killed three elders, including Zheng Chi, leaving only Elder Kang alive. Although he hasn’t returned to the Immortal Alliance yet, he has already informed the Alliance Leader via the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device. The Immortal Alliance Main Altar is in chaos now.”
“Huff!”
Wenren Jun’s eyes instantly lost their luster, and he collapsed onto the chair.
“Father, what do we do?”
Wenren Qing asked with a sob.
“Alas! Why did we provoke this jinx!”
Wenren Jun shook his head in pain.
Wenren Qing pondered for a moment and said, “How about we just deny it?”
“Deny it? You personally sent those women to the Immortal Alliance Main Altar. There are many eyewitnesses. How can we deny it?”
Wenren Jun retorted.
“Alas!”
Wenren Qing looked ashen and also slumped onto a chair by the side.
“How could I have been so foolish! I should have sent some unimportant people to escort them to the Immortal Alliance Main Altar earlier. That way, if something happened, we could have decisively sacrificed pawns to save the king.”
Wenren Jun became more and more angry as he thought about it, so he slapped himself.
“Father, don’t say anymore. Just put all the blame on me. As long as you and the family are safe.”
Wenren Qing showed a look of defiance on his face.
“How can that be? I am the mastermind. How can I let you take the blame?”
Wenren Jun shook his head.
“Father, that woman caused us so much trouble. Do you think the Immortal Alliance cares about the difference between the mastermind and an accomplice? We should save whoever we can.”
Wenren Qing had thought it through thoroughly.
“No, as a father, and with one foot already in the grave, I cannot selfishly let my son take the blame.”
Wenren Jun still firmly refused.
“Although that’s what you say, the Wenren family doesn’t need young people, but guardians. You are the Clan leader of the Wenren family and the most skilled person. Therefore, nothing must happen to you. Moreover, it is only natural for children to be filial.”
Wenren Qing persuaded him with emotion and reason.
“Alas! I appreciate your kind intentions.”
Wenren Jun sighed and said, “Actually, the biggest trouble now is not me, but that girl Wenren Yu. In the eyes of the Immortal Alliance, she is the real culprit. If I have a glimmer of hope by using my brain, then she is doomed.”
“Alas!”
Wenren Qing sighed again, momentarily at a loss.
“You go and find the elders of those girls first. This matter is of great importance, and we must brainstorm together. We cannot bear the responsibility alone.”
Wenren Jun commanded.
“Yes!”
Wenren Qing respectfully accepted the order, then forced himself to cheer up and walked out.
Not long after, he found the grandfathers and parents of the other five girls. Since the matter had already exploded, hiding it was meaningless. More people were needed to offer advice.
Why are you looking for us so late at night?
Yes, can’t we discuss it tomorrow? It’s not like the sky is falling.
What sky? Our Wenren family is the sky of this Changming Kingdom. I guess he just wants to show off his unlimited power as the clan leader.
A group of clan relatives grumbled as they entered the room.
Those female disciples from the HongHua Sect are back.
Wenren Jun suppressed his anger and informed them.
What?
The study fell silent all at once.
This is impossible! With their little abilities, how could they have survived the Tencel Valley Treasure Land? In the past, even more powerful decoys than them rarely escaped misfortune.
A clan brother, slightly younger than Wenren Jun, questioned. He was Wenren Yu’s grandfather, Wenren Li.
This is normal. Although the people from the Immortal Alliance said they would protect the decoys, in a dangerous place like the Tencel Valley Treasure Land, they could barely protect themselves, let alone guarantee the safety of the decoys.
Another clan brother, Wenren Lian, explained.
But the problem is that they really did come back.
Wenren Jun chuckled self-deprecatingly, then took out the Golden Life Flower Seed from the table and said, “Look, this is what they returned to me.”
Then where are they?
Wenren Li looked around and asked.
They left.
Wenren Jun said calmly.
Left? Are you kidding us?
Wenren Li immediately sat up from his chair and questioned, “Big Brother, have you forgotten why we sent those girls to the Immortal Alliance Main Altar? Since they’re not dead, why didn’t you keep them?”
Yes, if they’re not dead, it means our scapegoat plan failed. We must send them back to the Immortal Alliance as decoys until they die.
Wenren Lian also agreed.
Although finding other scapegoats is possible, the people from the Immortal Alliance have already seen them. Changing them in the short term is not feasible.
The remaining old brother, Wenren Zheng, also spoke.
Do you think I wanted to let them go? Do you think they came back alive purely by luck?
Wenren Jun’s tone became somewhat agitated.
What did they rely on?
Wenren Zheng frowned and asked.
They relied on strength.
Wenren Jun said concisely.
Yes, the spiritual sense of Cheng Hong Ling’s clone has at least reached the early stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm. It’s good enough that my father and I managed to save our lives. How could we have stopped them?
Wenren Qing beside him explained delicately.
Wenren Qing, you’re not playing a joke on us, are you? That Cheng Hong Ling is at most twenty years old. Even she herself couldn’t have reached the Heavenly Punishment Realm, let alone a mere clone.
Wenren Li was instantly amused to the point of anger.
Yes, even the new Saintess of Hua Rong Sect only has a cultivation level of the late stage of the Shentong Realm. How can a country bumpkin with no background or bloodline have such a fast cultivation speed?
Wenren Zheng beside him also expressed doubt.
Hehe, if you knew what she did on this trip, you wouldn’t doubt it.
Wenren Jun said with a wry smile.
What did she do?
Wenren Li frowned and asked.
She killed people! And she killed three elders of the Immortal Alliance!
Wenren Jun’s expression became solemn.
What?
The study fell into dead silence.
