Chapter 774: Who Dares to Stop, Dies (Part 2)
Haha, everyone look quickly, the show is about to start!
I didn’t expect the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance to come personally. He’s a peerless expert at the Heavenly Aperture Realm. Now the HongHua Sect is in trouble!
Yeah, Cheng Hong Ling’s cultivation level is merely in the Divine Ability Mirror. I don’t believe she really dares to go against Alliance Leader Cao!
Cultivation level is secondary. Alliance Leader Cao represents the entire Immortal Alliance. Even if he was completely powerless, no one would dare to defy his will.
Not only that, I heard Alliance Leader Cao comes from the largest Immortal Family in the Cultivation World. Immortal Families have Immortal Tablets guarding them, and they are even more terrifying than the Immortal Alliance!
Haha, this is great. The rats from Huangtian Capital are destined to be disappointed!
The onlookers around the HongHua Sect exclaimed with schadenfreude.
In contrast, the people inside the HongHua Sect, except for a few who unconditionally believed in Qi Huang, all showed drastic changes in their expressions. Especially those citizens of Huangtian Capital who brought their children. Although they didn’t know the unwritten rules of the Cultivation World, after this period of immersion, they roughly understood the intricacies. Thus, they clearly knew that the Immortal Alliance was here to stop the HongHua Sect.
What should we do? The Immortal Alliance has indeed come!
I heard that the Immortal Alliance is equivalent to the yamen of the Cultivation World. Does the HongHua Sect dare to defy them?
What are you thinking? Do you dare to defy the county yamen of Huangtian Capital?
Then what should we do? Our descendants could have changed their fate, are we just going to give up like this?
Otherwise? Do you really want the HongHua Sect to risk their lives for us against the Immortal Alliance?
How about we beg the people from the Immortal Alliance later and hope they can be merciful!
That’s all we can do. Doesn’t the Immortal Alliance always say they want to bring benefits to the people of the Cultivation World? We are also people of the Cultivation World!
A group of commoners discussed in hushed, fearful tones.
Qi Huang was naturally very calm. She playfully said to Cheng Hong Ling beside her, “That guy surnamed Cao is quite arrogant, actually having the entire HongHua Sect come out to welcome him. Does he think he’s arriving in a coffin? The dead should be respected!”
Cheng Hong Ling rolled her beautiful eyes helplessly. Her lover was good in every way, except his mouth was too sharp, and his manners needed improvement.
“By the way, when we were Saintesses of the Hua Rong Sect, you dealt with those little monsters at the Continental Evergreen Convention. Cao Hong was present at that time. Are you planning to disguise your voice, or directly confront him?”
Cheng Hong Ling suddenly thought of this.
“I am invincible in this world now, why should I still hide?”
Qi Huang smiled confidently.
“You need to think carefully. Once you speak, Cao Hong will know that we are indeed the Saintesses of the Hua Rong Sect, and his descendants will definitely engrave our names on the Immortal Tablets.”
Cheng Hong Ling reminded her.
“Isn’t that even better? Then I can legitimately remove the Cao family’s Immortal Tablet.”
Qi Huang’s eyes lit up, and she added, “Actually, to stop him today, we will have to reveal some of our strength eventually. So even if he doesn’t know our identity as Saintesses of the Hua Rong Sect, he will still have designs on us.”
“That’s true. They are after our strength, not our identity as Saintesses of the Hua Rong Sect.”
Cheng Hong Ling pondered for a moment and deeply agreed.
“Grand Elder, should we…
We go out to welcome them?
At this moment, Qin Quan beside her asked respectfully.
“Why bother with him? It’s not like we’re in a hurry. Let the disciples verify the identities of each commoner, and then distribute the Golden Life Flower Seeds. I’ll handle everything else.”
Qi Huang commanded with an aged air.
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Qin Quan bowed and acknowledged the order, then instructed the disciples to verify the identities of the commoners to prevent any ill-intentioned individuals from infiltrating.
“Are the people of the HongHua Sect deaf? Alliance Leader Cao has arrived. Why aren’t you all coming out to welcome him!”
The Immortal Alliance disciple who spoke earlier roared in anger again, but the people inside the HongHua Sect acted as if they were deaf and remained indifferent.
…
“Have these people from the HongHua Sect gone mad? They’re actually ignoring Deputy Alliance Leader Cao?”
“Are they so arrogant because they have the backing of the citizens of Huangtian Capital?”
“What are these rats from Huangtian Capital? The Immortal Alliance is the overlord of the entire Cultivation World. If they think like this, they will probably face the destruction of their sect today.”
“That’s right. Selling Golden Life Flower Seeds privately is already a grave offense. Now, being so disrespectful to the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance is simply adding insult to injury. Not even immortals can save them!”
“It’s best this way. They discriminate against us outsiders, so their sect’s destruction is deserved.”
…
The people outside the HongHua Sect discussed with schadenfreude.
Meanwhile, a group of people from the Immortal Alliance outside the HongHua Sect were furious. They had traveled far and wide, and everywhere they went, they were treated as honored ancestors. Today, they were treated with such negligence by a tiny sect. How could they possibly swallow this insult?
“Stop!”
A person appeared above the plaza of the HongHua Sect before his voice even reached them. A group of his followers quickly followed him into the sect.
The commoners in the plaza were terrified and retreated repeatedly.
“This must be Alliance Leader Cao. May I know what instructions you have?”
Qin Quan pretended to be humble and bowed with cupped fists.
“How dare you ignore my grandfather’s arrival?”
Just then, a tall and sturdy young man appeared beside Cao Hong. He looked one or two years younger than Cheng Hong Ling, around twenty-one or twenty-two years old. However, his facial features were sharp and angular, and he had a broad back and a narrow waist. His long hair was more smooth and flowing than that of many women, making him a rare handsome man.
“It’s Cao Guang! I didn’t expect him to come too!”
“Cao Guang? Who is Cao Guang?”
“What a bumpkin! You don’t even know Cao Guang? He is the direct grandson of Alliance Leader Cao, possessing an immortal bloodline. His talent is even stronger than his cousin Cao Yang’s. At only twenty-two, he has reached the fourth level of the Divine Ability Realm. He is one of the top ten geniuses in this generation of the Cultivation World, second only to that monstrous genius in the Hua Rong Sect!”
“Twenty-two years old? Fourth level of Divine Ability Realm? Is this cultivation or giving birth? I didn’t even give birth as fast as him!”
Many cultivators around recognized the young man.
“Uh… Alliance Leader Cao, please forgive us. Our cultivation levels are low, and it was very noisy around here today, so we couldn’t detect your arrival in time. We apologize for the lack of proper welcome, and we hope you will forgive us!”
Qin Quan bowed and apologized respectfully again. He knew that his cultivation was low and he couldn’t help much, so he could only do the dirty and difficult work.
“Nonsense. If you didn’t hear us, how did you know my grandfather is the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance?”
Cao Guang naturally wouldn’t let it go so easily.
“Alliance Leader Cao has outstanding charisma. He is the most dazzling wherever he goes. How could we not recognize him?”
Qin Quan said it shamelessly while flattering him.
“Grandfather, let your grandson teach these ignorant hillbillies a lesson!”
Cao Guang ignored them and volunteered.
“Don’t be in a hurry yet!”
Cao Hong waved his hand. With so many citizens of Huang Tian Prefecture and onlookers present, it would be best for him, as the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance, to subdue the enemy without fighting.
“But…”
Cao Guang wanted to say something more, but his eyes suddenly fell on Cheng Hong Ling, who was not wearing a veil. He was momentarily stunned and forgot to spew threats.
“Sect Leader Qin, I’ll get straight to the point. I’ve brought the decree of Alliance Leader Lu. Today, the HongHua Sect is forbidden from selling any Golden Life Flower Seeds. Hand them over to the Immortal Alliance as soon as possible, along with the Golden Life Flower trees!”
Cao Hong stated his purpose and then turned to the citizens of Huang Tian Prefecture and said, “And you people, you are forbidden from purchasing any Golden Life Flower Seeds, or you shall be killed without mercy!”
“What?”
The citizens of Huang Tian Prefecture were struck by lightning upon hearing this. Many had tears welling up in their eyes.
“Uh… Alliance Leader Cao… Can you give this old fogey a reason? Didn’t the Immortal Alliance say three years ago that they would support our good deeds? Why have they suddenly changed their minds?”
Qin Quan asked calmly.
“Three years ago was three years ago, and now is now. You don’t need to know the reason. If you don’t want anything to happen to the HongHua Sect, just do as you are told!”
Cao Hong commanded in an irrefutable tone.
