Chapter 772: Elder Zuo’s Death
You dare injure this steward? Do you not wish to live? Cai De swallowed the blood with difficulty, his face filled with shock and anger.
Injure me? Hehe…
Cheng Hong Ling smiled noncommittally and casually swung her treasure sword, a cold sword energy sweeping across Cai De’s neck.
Clatter…
Cai De’s eyeballs bulged, and his large head slid off his shoulders.
Not only do I want to injure you, I want to kill you!
Cheng Hong Ling calmly withdrew her sword.
Cai De’s Life Soul emerged from his body, and he then cursed hysterically: You demoness, you dare to make a move against the Immortal Alliance’s high-level figures, just wait and see the entire Hong Hua Sect be buried with you!
Noisy!
Cheng Hong Ling narrowed her beautiful eyes, and her powerful Spiritual Sense at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm immediately crushed Cai De’s Life Soul into pieces.
As an Immortal Alliance steward, you turned a blind eye to the Hong Hua Sect’s predicament and repeatedly interfered. I’ve wanted to kill you for a long time. The fact that I’ve let you live until now is because I am kind!
Cheng Hong Ling, following in Qi Huang’s footsteps, listed Cai De’s crimes in the same tone and then left unhurriedly.
On the other side of Pingshan Mass Grave, Elder Zuo, with a group of Immortal Alliance sub-altar disciples, rushed into the large grove of Golden Life Flower trees.
My heavens, no wonder Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang dared to let the entire Huang Tian Prefecture purchase them. There must be several thousand fruits on these trees!
This woman is truly a spendthrift. If these Golden Life Flower seeds were sold, who knows how much money they would be worth!
She’s a saint. Those lowlife people in Huang Tian Prefecture are even worthy of enjoying such good things?
Yes, we cultivators don’t even have the fortune to enjoy them, so how can those lowlife people be worthy? Hurry up and get to it. After it’s done, each person will be rewarded with one.
Elder Z encouraged them with rewards.
Really? That’s great! Thank you, Elder Zuo!
A group of disciples were overjoyed and rolled up their sleeves, ready to start digging.
Qi Huang, Qi Huang, without these Golden Life Flowers, I’ll see what you use to mock those lowlife people next month…
Elder Z’s beard felt as if it was being stroked, and he smugly…
Elder Z was startled and flustered.
He stiffly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
He saw Qi Huang smiling at him, her large eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
“How is this possible?”
Elder Zuo said, his eyes wide with disbelief.
He really couldn’t understand how this little demoness in front of him could have traversed over a thousand miles in just over ten breaths and appeared before him. Even a cultivator at the Heavenly Punishment Realm couldn’t achieve this.
“What’s impossible?”
Qi Huang’s face showed a playful smile.
“…”
Elder Zuo’s brain began to function again.
His body was gradually soaked in cold sweat.
He thought, could this person be even stronger than a cultivator at the Heavenly Punishment Realm?
“Elder Zuo? What’s wrong?”
Although I am indeed good-looking, you shouldn’t be staring at me like this!
Qi Huang walked over and wiggled her fair, tender little hand.
Because it was daytime, she was in her male persona, so she was very playful.
“Impossible. If she were truly stronger than a cultivator at the Heavenly Punishment Realm,
then she would have ascended long ago, so how could she still be lingering in the Cultivation World!
Cheng Hong Ling must have summoned another clone just now. This way, it can serve as a deterrent and also ensure the safety of the Golden Life Flowers.”
Elder Zuo quickly figured it out.
He calmed himself down, his eyes rolling as he said:
“Oh, it’s like this.
This elder is here to inspect these Golden Life Flowers.
I only discovered after arriving that they are overgrown with weeds, so I ordered my subordinates to help you weed them.”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Those Immortal Alliance disciples repeatedly agreed.
“Is that so? Then I should thank Elder Zuo?”
Qi Huang’s face showed a fake smile.
“You’re welcome! You are also doing this for the people of Huang Tian Prefecture!
This elder is the same.”
Elder Zuo said righteously.
“Is that so?”
Qi Huang smiled noncommittally, then took out the Recording Mirror and began to play the evidence,
teasingly saying:
“Is this what Elder Zuo meant by ‘for the people’?
He repeatedly called them lowlife people and even wanted to steal their dream Golden Life Flowers!”
Elder Zuo’s old face gradually darkened.
He gritted his teeth and said:
“Since you already know my intentions,
then this elder will be upfront. You cannot sell the Golden Life Flower seeds, and these Golden Life Flower trees must also be handed over to the Immortal Alliance!”
“Is that so? Give me a reason!”
Qi Huang casually paced around with her hands behind her back.
“The reason is very simple. Doing so will damage the interests of the Immortal Alliance! You should be very clear about this yourself!”
Elder Zuo said bluntly.
“The Immortal Alliance’s interests? Hehe…”
Qi Huang laughed in anger and then questioned: “What about the people of Huang Tian Prefecture? As the person in charge of the Immortal Alliance in the Xihui Dynasty, you should know how long we have been mocked for our height and appearance. For thousands of years, many families have had their lineage broken because the men couldn’t find partners. These Golden Life Flower seeds are their future.”
“As a cultivator, you must first consider the interests of the Immortal Alliance, not those lowly mortals. Without the Immortal Alliance, where would the Hong Hua Sect be?”
Elder Zuo said piously.
Qi Huang was directly amused by the other party’s shamelessness. She did not hesitate to point out: “Excuse me, I have to interrupt you. The Hong Hua Sect has developed to this day through our own efforts and the support of the entire populace of Huang Tian Prefecture. It has little to do with the Immortal Alliance.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Zuo immediately became like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, barking furiously: “Bold! How dare you say such rebellious words? Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the Immortal Alliance?”
“Elder Zuo should know best whether what I’m saying is true or not. You and Steward Cai have caused us and the Hong Hua Sect no small amount of trouble, haven’t you? For example, the Evergreen Convention, and the matter of Imperial Concubine selection.”
Qi Huang listed the evidence one by one.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Daring to slander this elder is an even greater crime.”
Elder Zuo naturally denied it.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. Anyway, this Immortal Elder doesn’t expect you to have a change of heart, because people like you simply have no conscience.”
Qi Huang mocked.
“Sharp tongue! This elder doesn’t want to waste any more words with you. Today, these Golden Life Flower trees, along with their seeds, must be handed over to the Immortal Alliance. Furthermore, you are not allowed to publicize this matter, otherwise, the Hong Hua Sect will be expelled from the Immortal Alliance!”
Elder Zuo impatiently stated his demands. Since he had been discovered, he no longer intended to hide anything.
“You mean I have to hand over these Golden Life Flowers, and I’m not allowed to say that the Immortal Alliance took them? Then how will I explain this to the hundreds of thousands of people in Huangtian Capital on the first of next month?”
Qi Huang asked curiously.
“That’s your own problem!”
Elder Zuo said impatiently.
“Hehe…”
Qi Huang’s smile gradually turned cold: “Well done, Elder of the Immortal Alliance. You just said that I am a cultivator under the Immortal Alliance, and now you don’t care about my life or death? So the Immortal Alliance is just a vampire that only knows how to take and not give? If that’s the case, what use do I have for it!”
“Bold! To be able to sacrifice for the Immortal Alliance is your honor. Yet you, this stinky girl, have repeatedly spoken disrespectfully. Do you think you’re something special just because your Spiritual Sense is stronger? This elder will capture you and these Golden Life Flower trees together and bring you back to receive rewards today.”
Elder Zuo could no longer bear it. He drew his treasure sword and lunged at Qi Huang. At the initial stage of the Shentong Realm, wearing specially made clothes, he was full of confidence.
“Hmph!”
Qi Huang snorted coldly, her Spiritual Sense emerged from her body and enveloped Elder Zuo.
Elder Zuo’s body suddenly stiffened, and then he froze in place as if time had stopped. Only the astonished expression on his face reflected his inner thoughts.
The other Immortal Alliance disciples were so terrified that their souls nearly flew out of their bodies. For a moment, their legs went weak, and they didn’t dare to move an inch.
“Are you wondering why you were suppressed by me even though you’re wearing clothes specially made by the Nine Nether Demonic Cat?”
Qi Huang teased, then explained to herself: “That’s because I am kind!”
Elder Zuo’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling insulted.
Qi Huang was not joking this time. It was precisely because she kindly saved the Nine Nether Demonic Cat that she received Mimi’s gift.
“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I’m the one who had you plant the Ghost Tomatoes.”
Qi Huang proudly boasted.
“…”
Elder Zuo’s eyeballs gradually bulged out.
“You planted vegetables for this Immortal Elder for so long. I had intended to spare your life, but you insisted on seeking death. So don’t blame me.”
Qi Huang’s face showed a look of regret. With a thought, Elder Zuo’s body and soul exploded like a watermelon.
The remaining Immortal Alliance disciples were so terrified that their souls nearly flew out of their bodies. They screamed and fled, but before they could run two steps, they met the same fate as Elder Zuo. Their bodies exploded one after another, turning into rain of blood that fell under the Golden Life Flower trees.
Immortal Alliance, Immortal Alliance, this Immortal Elder’s Golden Life Flowers are in need of fertilizer. Feel free to send more people. I’ll see how many of you can fill my tree pits.
Qi Huang smiled sinisterly.
A few days later, the news of Elder Zuo’s disappearance reached the Immortal Alliance Main Altar.
“Hong Hua Sect! Cheng Hong Ling! Qi Huang!”
Cao Hong was so angry that he almost had a stroke. Even with his knees, he knew what had happened, so he immediately reported it to Lu Lin.
“How dare a mere ant from a tiny sect do this?”
When Lu Lin heard the news, he found it unbelievable. He immediately convened dozens of high-level figures for a meeting.
“In that case, Elder Zuo was definitely killed by that Cheng Hong Ling and her clone.”
“How dare she? An ant from a tiny sect, does she not want to live?”
“I suggest we immediately send troops to the Hong Hua Sect and leave no one alive.”
“But the problem is, there’s no evidence!”
A group of high-level figures cursed furiously.
Lu Lin waved his hand: “Pass my order, all of the top ten elders of the Immortal Alliance who are currently at the Main Altar are to go to the Hong Hua Sect and secretly seize those Golden Life Flower trees for me.”
“Why is it another secret seizure? We’ve already sacrificed an elder. I suggest we demand them openly. They wouldn’t dare to refuse.”
Elder Kang suggested.
“Yes, if they don’t give them, we’ll destroy them. How many people are there in Huangtian Capital? We don’t need to care about the thoughts of those lowly people. Being indecisive prevents us from doing great things.”
Another elder agreed.
“It is precisely because we have sacrificed an elder that we must seize them secretly. Because only in this way can we conveniently kill that Cheng Hong Ling.”
Lu Lin said with a ferocious expression.
“Alliance Leader is wise. Without proof, it is difficult for us to openly attack her and the Hong Hua Sect. By acting in secret, we can not only obtain the Golden Life Flower trees without anyone knowing, but we can also kill that arrogant ant at will. It’s truly killing two birds with one stone.”
Cao Hong clapped and exclaimed.
