Chapter 773: Kill One Who Comes
“That ant dared to kill our Immortal Alliance elders, wasn’t it just because no one knew? Since you want to play dirty, I’ll play you to death!
“Lu Lin waved his hand and said domineeringly, “All elders listen up, this operation, whether it’s those Golden Life Flower trees or that ant’s life, bring it all back to me!”
“Yes!”
The high-level figures below accepted the command.
“What about the HongHua Sect?”
Cao Hong asked.
“A roadside weed, we can kick it to death with any excuse later.”
Lu Lin said disdainfully.
Was it necessary to make such a big fuss over a mere ant from the HongHua Sect? Calling out ten elders from the main altar.
“Indeed, Elder Zuo is only at the early stage of the Shentong Realm, and his great limit is approaching. Who knows if he died at someone else’s hands or fell to his death while walking.”
Even if that ant killed him, so what? A yellow-haired girl in her twenties, I don’t believe she can be that strong, she probably used some kind of trickery!
“Alas, this mission is truly a good errand, equivalent to a public-funded tour, and you can easily earn merit.”
A group of high-level figures chattered and walked out, each rubbing their hands, all waiting to pick on a soft persimmon.
Qi Huang, who was far away in the HongHua Sect, saw everything. She withdrew her spiritual sense and her mouth was all smiles.
Still want to play dirty with this Immortal Elder? I’d like to see how many elders your Immortal Alliance can fill in.
Qi Huang also rubbed her hands.
Two days later, the second, fifth, seventh, eighth, and tenth ranked elders of the Immortal Alliance set out. They were all at the late stage of the Shentong Realm, so this was a force sufficient to destroy a country.
“I say Elder Wang, why are you flying so fast?”
Mid-way, Elder Xue, ranked second, questioned the elder flying at the forefront with displeasure.
“Of course, it’s to destroy the HongHua Sect. What do you mean by dragging your feet? Have you forgotten our mission?”
Elder Wang was even more displeased.
“I only remember that our mission is to kill and seize treasures, not to destroy the HongHua Sect, when did that happen?”
Elder Xue retorted with a fake smile.
“Cheng Hong Ling was a disciple of the HongHua Sect, and she dared to kill our Immortal Alliance elders. Shouldn’t this sect be destroyed? If we only kill her, where will the prestige of our Immortal Alliance remain?”
Elder Wang said indignantly.
“Hehe, Elder Wang, your awareness is quite high. I think I should let you be the second elder.”
Elder Xue’s words became more and more sarcastic.
“It’s not about awareness, I just think it’s too easy to kill Cheng Hong Ling alone, and the merit gained will not be much. In that case, why not destroy the HongHua Sect as well.”
Elder Wang quickly explained.
“Then there’s no need to be in such a hurry. Isn’t it just a HongHua Sect? You’re so anxious, anyone would think you’re going to destroy the Xihui Dynasty.”
Elder Xue said directly.
“Indeed, the Alliance Leader gave us half a month. It’s just a HongHua Sect, Elder Wang is too eager for merit.”
Another elder next to him also sneered.
“With our strength, let alone destroying the HongHua Sect, it wouldn’t take a day to destroy a country. If you rush to destroy the HongHua Sect like this, what will we do with the remaining time?
“Elder Wang, have you ever thought that if the mission time is too short, it’s impossible to add difficulty, so how can we get merit when we go back?”
The remaining two elders also chimed in.
“This I don’t understand. The target is clearly laid out, does the Alliance Leader not know if it’s difficult? Destroying a HongHua Sect, if we can’t complete it for a long time, wouldn’t that make us look incompetent?”
Elder Wang became more and more confused.
“The target is indeed there, but there are evil spirits everywhere along the way. We have to travel through mountains and cross rivers, who can guarantee a smooth journey?”
“Indeed, we can play around for a few days on the road, and then tell the Alliance Leader that we encountered a powerful demon in the Heavenly Punishment Realm, and it was only after great effort that we escaped. Doesn’t this increase the difficulty? We will definitely be rewarded with great merit when we return!”
“Yes, if there is no difficulty, we will fabricate difficulty, and we must not go back for nothing.”
The elders were all in complete agreement.
“Uh…”
Elder Wang was speechless for a moment. He didn’t expect things to be so complicated.
“Elder Wang, I finally understand why your cultivation is not bad, but your ranking is at the bottom among us. The cultivation world relies on more than just fighting.”
Elder Xue taught him a lesson with an air of seniority, then waved his hand and said, “Let’s find a place nearby to relax for two days. I’ll handle the Alliance Leader.”
“Yes!”
The elders were overjoyed, and then they followed along, chatting and laughing, not taking the mission seriously at all.
Qi Huang withdrew her spiritual sense and felt extreme contempt in her heart. This Immortal Alliance was truly rotten to the core, everyone was selfish and didn’t consider the overall situation.
On the last day of the deadline, those five meticulous Immortal Alliance elders finally arrived late, and then… there was no then. As soon as they approached the Golden Life Flower, their bodies suddenly exploded, turning into blood mist scattered by the wind to nourish the land.
The life souls of several elders quickly dissipated under the powerful suppression of spiritual sense, their faces filled with unwillingness, because they didn’t even know who the killer was. At this moment, they finally realized that the destination of this public-funded tour was not the HongHua Sect, but hell!
“Hmph! I’ll kill one who comes, and I’ll kill a pair who come in pairs, to the point where you’ll be too scared to come!”
Qi Huang withdrew her spiritual sense unnoticed. Her current strength was so formidable. She could launch long-range attacks on any location on Lishui Star with just her spiritual sense, as long as she was at home. Anyone below the level of Heavenly Being was like an ant in her eyes.
Seeing that it was almost the first day of the month, the entire Huangtian Capital was full of singing and dancing, more joyous than festive holidays, because they knew that festive holidays could not change the fate of their descendants, but Golden Life Flowers could!
Qi Huang also assembled some disciples of the HongHua Sect at the Pingshan Mass Grave, then harvested all the fruits of the Golden Life Flower, and then peeled them like chestnuts to reveal the coveted Golden Life Flower Seeds inside.
Qi Huang collected all the seeds into her storage ring. Next, she would wait for the first day of next month to distribute them to all the infants and young children under the age of six in the entire Huangtian Capital.
As for the Immortal Alliance, because Elder Xue and others had not returned to report and had lost contact, Lu Lin and Cao Hong finally realized the seriousness of the matter and summoned all the high-level figures of the Immortal Alliance Main Altar again.
“Five elders from our Immortal Alliance’s top ten, all with cultivation at the late stage of the Shentong Realm, how could this accident have happened?”
“Alliance Leader, can you be sure they were all killed by that Cheng Hong Ling and her clones? I really can’t believe a yellow-haired girl in her twenties could kill five of them!”
“Could she have some powerful helper?”
“With a place like the Xihui Dynasty, a barren land, where could she find a powerful helper?”
“Could the elders have encountered some powerful evil spirits on the way?”
The high-level figures raised questions one after another, as this matter was too unbelievable.
“If this Alliance Leader could be sure, why would I need you to waste your breath here?”
Lu Lin’s expression was grim, and he continued, “However, there is no more time to investigate the killer. The HongHua Sect is going to distribute Golden Life Flower seeds to the entire Huang Tian Prefecture on the first day of next month. We must intervene!”
“Alliance Leader, please let your subordinate lead people to stop them personally. We can no longer care about our reputation now. Once those Golden Life Flower seeds are spread, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Cao Hong volunteered.
“Then I will trouble Deputy Alliance Leader Cao, and please bring my decree. Not only is the HongHua Sect not allowed to sell Golden Life Flower seeds, but the people of Huang Tian Prefecture are also not allowed to buy them. Those who violate this will be killed without mercy.”
Lu Lin ordered.
“Yes!”
Cao Hong accepted the order.
Qi Huang withdrew her spiritual sense that was monitoring the Immortal Alliance Main Altar, and a triumphant smile reappeared on her face, because this was the effect she wanted. As long as the Immortal Alliance put itself in opposition to the common people, she would have reason to act.
