Chapter 781 Let this Elder Go and Deal With Her
Qi Huang would not miss such an opportunity to establish her persona. She flew to the top of HongHua Sect and declared, “Everyone, the Immortal Alliance claims to work for the welfare of all people. Now, for their own selfish interests, they disregard the lives of the people in Huang Tian Prefecture and insist on confiscating our Golden Life Flower Seeds. Tell me, is this action right or wrong?”
“Wrong… wrong… completely wrong…”
The disciples of HongHua Sect and Shuiyu Valley below responded in unison, and the common people also echoed their agreement.
“Since it is wrong, as a member of HongHua Sect, I, Qi Huang, have the responsibility to protect the interests of the people of Huang Tian Prefecture and must stop them from taking actions that harm everyone’s interests. Tell me, is there anything wrong with my approach?”
Qi Huang asked loudly again.
“No… no… Immortal Qi is righteous!”
The people of Huang Tian Prefecture reacted and shouted one after another.
“Everyone heard what Cao Hong said earlier. If I kill him, the Immortal Alliance will naturally not let this matter go. I wonder if you are willing to advance and retreat with me and HongHua Sect?”
Qi Huang seized the opportunity to ask.
“Willing… of course, willing… We swear to support HongHua Sect and Immortal Qi to the death!”
“That’s right, Immortal Qi has become enemies with the Immortal Alliance because of us. We are not ungrateful people!”
“Don’t worry, Immortal Qi. The moment we gave the Golden Life Flower Seeds to our children, we were prepared to fight the Immortal Alliance to the death!”
“That’s right, the Immortal Alliance explicitly stated that anyone who dares to buy Golden Life Flower Seeds will be killed without mercy. Therefore, they will definitely not let us go. Since there is no way back, let’s fight them.”
The people of Huang Tian Prefecture were all stirred.
Qi Huang smiled with satisfaction. Now she finally had grounds for her actions.
“Are you satisfied now? You’ve become a great hero to the entire Huang Tian Prefecture.”
Cheng Hong Ling flew over and teased.
“Yes, yes… Now that we have grounds, we just have to wait for the Immortal Alliance to go mad. When they completely fall out with us, it will be their end. At that time, I will set up a banquet outside the Immortal Alliance Main Altar in No Night City and invite everyone who has grievances with them to witness how this Immortal Elder destroys this dirty organization.”
Immortal Qi said, rubbing her hands.
“What about your Ghost Tomatoes? Aren’t you going to plant them anymore?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked curiously.
“Of course, I’ll plant them. I just want to eliminate the Immortal Alliance as an organization; I don’t intend to exterminate everyone. To put it simply, it’s just changing the signboard. When we become the bosses, I’ll continue to call upon those people to help me grow vegetables. This way, it will be more legitimate.”
Qi Huang revealed her plan.
“So you want to turn the Immortal Alliance into a large farm!”
Cheng Hong Ling exclaimed in surprise.
“You could say that, but we still need to manage things. The mission of maintaining peace in the Cultivation World will be handed over to you. I have high hopes for you.”
Qi Huang said earnestly.
“You want to be a hands-off boss? Daydreaming!”
Cheng Hong Ling playfully rolled her eyes at Qi Huang.
In the following time, the people of Huang Tian Prefecture left HongHua Sect happily. Although they had offended the Immortal Alliance this time, they were willing to take any risk for their children to obtain the Golden Life Flower Seeds, especially with HongHua Sect as their backed.
After this battle, Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling completely conquered Huang Tian Prefecture. In the north…
The entire battle made them seem like deities in the hearts of the people of Huangtian Capital. People everywhere were erecting merit tablets for them, and many stone material factories miraculously came back to life because of this.
The news of Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang slaying the Vice Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance swept through the entire Cultivation World like a tsunami. This unprecedented event stunned everyone. First, no one expected that the monstrous Saintess of Hua Rong Sect would come from such a small sect as HongHua Sect. Second, no one expected her to be so powerful. Third, no one expected her to dare to kill the Vice Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance and openly oppose this dominant organization in the Cultivation World.
“Cheng Hong Ling is finished, HongHua Sect is finished, and Hua Rong Sect will not have good days either!”
This was the immediate thought of everyone, because everyone knew that the Immortal Alliance would definitely seek revenge on HongHua Sect without cease! And the strength of Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling was not enough to contend with the entire Immortal Alliance. The reason was simple: many of the high-level figures in the Immortal Alliance came from Immortal Families. As long as their names were inscribed on the Immortal Tablet, they would be invincible.
“In the end, Cao Hong died from arrogance. If his name were still on the Immortal Tablet, he absolutely could not have been killed.”
This was the thought in everyone’s minds on the streets.
The Immortal Alliance, having lost a Vice Alliance Leader in the early stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, immediately faced great internal and external troubles. Internally, both its strength and morale suffered a huge blow, while externally, its prestige and reputation were also severely damaged.
Lu Lin, the Alliance Leader, was almost driven mad. He couldn’t understand why a mere HongHua Sect, and a mere Cheng Hong Ling, would dare to do such rebellious things. Had their gall bladders been removed?
Lu Lin wished he could rush to HongHua Sect and wreak havoc immediately, but reason quickly prevailed, for a simple reason: he did not have absolute confidence.
After all, since Cheng Hong Ling could kill Cao Hong, her strength was at least at the third level of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, and she also had an unfathomable clone. As an old fox who had lived for hundreds of years, he would never fight a battle he wasn’t sure of winning.
Lu Lin pondered for a moment and quickly came up with an idea. To completely destroy HongHua Sect with 100% certainty, it would be best to rely on the elders under his command who came from Immortal Families. With the existence of Immortal Might, no matter how strong Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang were, they wouldn’t be able to stir up any waves, because as long as they hadn’t ascended, they were still mortals.
Lu Lin suppressed his anger and immediately summoned back the hundreds of elders of the Immortal Alliance distributed across various countries on the Cultivation Continent to hold an unprecedented memorial service and discuss how to retaliate.
On this day, an unprecedented memorial service was held at the Immortal Alliance Main Altar. Although the crowd was surging, it was quieter than usual, to the point that the people of No Night City dared not breathe loudly.
The Conference Hall of the Immortal Alliance was soon filled with people, like the morning court in the Imperial Palace. Hundreds of elders waited solemnly and silently for Lu Lin’s arrival.
A short while later, Lu Lin arrived on the platform. He did not sit down as usual but sighed sadly. After a long time, he said emotionally, “Let me think, when was the last time we all gathered? It should have been when I became the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance, right? A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye!”
Speaking of which, Lu Lin changed the subject: “Unfortunately, last time it was for a happy occasion, and this time it’s for a funeral. Our dear Vice Alliance Leader Cao Hong died in the line of duty ten days ago.”
…
“Alliance Leader Lu, Vice Alliance Leader Cao died at the hands of a disciple from a tiny sect in the Xihui Dynasty, right?”
“Alliance Leader Lu, how dare such an ant make trouble during the New Year? We absolutely cannot be soft-hearted. If we don’t annihilate their sect, how can we deter the entire Cultivation World in the future?”
“I also heard that the disciple was Jiang Ling, the monstrous Saintess of Hua Rong Sect?”
“So what if she’s the Saintess of Hua Rong Sect? Sects like that are like outhouses on the street to the Immortal Alliance, where we can enter and defecate at any time. How dare she? Has her gallbladder been removed?”
“Alliance Leader Lu, I suggest we deal with Hua Rong Sect as well!”
“Not only that, but Shuiyu Valley should not be spared either. Cheng Hong Ling’s clone is the Grand Elder of Shuiyu Valley!”
“Those hundreds of thousands of lowly people in Huang Tian Prefecture who ignored the Immortal Alliance’s warnings also deserve to die!”
“I think we should just destroy the Xihui Dynasty. Huang Tian Prefecture is a prefecture under the Xihui Dynasty, and how can the Emperor not be held responsible for so many rebellious elements emerging in his jurisdiction?”
“Yes, yes, yes. If we are soft-hearted again this time, how can we face Vice Alliance Leader Cao’s spirit in heaven? And how can we restore the Immortal Alliance’s lost reputation and dignity?”
The hundreds of elders below roared with red faces and thick necks, giving the impression that the Immortal Alliance was about to go on a campaign of annihilation.
“Everyone, quiet down!”
Lu Lin gestured to calm them down, then said, “I understand everyone’s feelings, but since Cheng Hong Ling was able to kill Vice Alliance Leader Cao, it shows that she does have some strength. Therefore, we must plan carefully. This is why I have summoned everyone!”
“Plan carefully, my foot! Let this Elder go and deal with her. With the Immortal Tablet protecting me, as long as she is still a mortal, she will have to die obediently!”
A rough voice confidently roared.
