Chapter 799: No One Can Stop Me
“All right! I’ve long wanted to see Alliance Leader Lu’s dignified presence.”
Qi Huang’s face was filled with smiles, and then he trotted happily behind Elder Xiao.
The two soon arrived at the banquet venue and saw Lu Lin, who was socializing.
Elder Xiao did not dare to disturb them, so he brought Qi Huang to wait nearby.
“Brother Huang… Brother Huang, judging by your accent, you’re not from No Night City, are you? Where are you from?”
Elder Xiao was silent for a moment before starting a conversation. He had not forgotten the mission the Alliance Leader had assigned him.
“Elder Xiao is too kind. I am just a mortal, how can I have a hometown in the immortal realm? I am merely a country bumpkin from a small country in the Northern Continent.”
Qi Huang lied.
“A country bumpkin? Brother Huang is too modest. A country bumpkin wouldn’t have so much money to host such a grand banquet in No Night City.”
Elder Xiao casually questioned.
“Money? I found it. You probably won’t believe it if I tell you. I tripped and fell while walking at night a while ago. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a real corpse, and a pile of gold and silver treasures was scattered around it. It was truly unexpected wealth!”
Qi Huang continued to lie.
“Heh heh… Brother Huang, with your luck, it’s a waste of talent if you don’t open a casino.”
Elder Xiao insinuated.
“Elder Xiao has truly perceptive eyes. How about this, let’s partner up. I’ll provide the luck, and you provide the capital?”
Qi Huang tested.
“…”
Elder Xiao’s eyes twitched, and he said no more.
At this moment, the genius young men from the Immortal Families had walked out of Wenxiang Pavilion. They all walked up to their respective people with determined expressions and declared their resolve to challenge Cheng Hong Ling to wash away their shame.
“Are you crazy! Challenging Cheng Hong Ling? Don’t you know? Seven or eight years ago, seven of us little monsters couldn’t even defeat one of her clones. How dare you challenge her?”
Zheng Wei of Supreme Peak retorted in shock to Zheng Wang.
“So after that, you were scared witless? You haven’t gone to find her to wash away your shame for so many years?”
”
Zheng Wang retorted with disdain.
“I… I know my limits. This woman is not someone that people our age can defeat.”
Zheng Wei explained hesitantly.
“Hmph, that’s because you ten little monsters are useless. It doesn’t mean that our generation’s ten great geniuses are not capable.”
Zheng Wang snorted coldly.
“Did you forget that Cao Guang, ranked second among your ten great geniuses, recently died at her hands? Do you think you are stronger than Cao Guang?”
Zheng Wei reminded him.
“Didn’t you say that she used schemes and tricks to kill Deputy Alliance Leader Cao and his grandson?”
Zheng Wang retorted.
When the Zheng family members heard this, their faces showed embarrassed expressions. They had said that purely to discredit Cheng Hong Ling and save face.
The other geniuses of the younger generation had similar conversations with their families, all expressing their desire to challenge Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling to wash away their shame.
Qi Huang did not take these people seriously at all. Even if the ten greatest masters in the Cultivation World were added together, they could be killed with a single finger.
At this moment, Lu Lin finally had some free time, and Elder Xiao brought Qi Huang over.
Lu Lin scanned Qi Huang with his spiritual sense, but he couldn’t detect anything. He showed a surprised expression: “You must be the Gongzi Huang who is hosting the banquet, right? You can even get something like Heaven-Concealing Water, no wonder you have such great courage.”
“I didn’t get this; I found it. I already told Elder Xiao that I tripped and fell while walking at night a while ago. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a corpse, and a pile of gold and silver treasures was scattered around it, including this Heaven-Concealing Water.”
Qi Huang blurted out.
“Heh heh…”
Lu Lin smiled noncommittally, then asked arrogantly: “Did Shopkeeper Bao tell you the requirements of this Alliance Leader?”
“He said something about it, but, Gongzi, what I’m doing here is a funeral. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to use it as a celebration banquet?”
Qi Feng “kindly” reminded.
“A funeral banquet? Who are you holding it for?”
Lu Lin asked, frowning.
“My benefactor! The one I said I tripped over earlier.”
Qi Feng replied, then said righteously: “I have always been grateful. Since he gave me such a large gift, I naturally have to come to No Night City to hold a grand funeral for him.”
“Are you sure you’re holding a funeral?”
Lu Lin’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
“Yes, I’ve also invited Master Chen from the West Street Funeral Supplies Shop. Where is that old guy? Why isn’t he here at this hour?”
Qi Feng pretended to search around and then complained.
“Since it’s a funeral, what about the singers and dancers from Hundred Flowers Brothel? You didn’t invite them, did you?”
Lu Lin pressed.
“Of course, I invited them! Although I’m holding a funeral, the death of that benefactor is clearly good news for me, otherwise, I wouldn’t have found so much gold and silver treasure, right? Since it’s a happy funeral, it’s natural for this Gongzi to invite some singers and dancers to liven things up? Perhaps he will continue to bless me with great wealth and prosperity.”
Qi Feng retorted earnestly.
“Heh heh… Your benefactor will definitely bless you.”
Lu Lin’s lips twitched slightly.
At this moment, the genius young men had gathered around. They rudely interrupted the conversation.
“Alliance Leader Lu, when that demon girl comes, can you give us a chance to challenge her?”
Zheng Wang took the lead in begging.
“Yes, Alliance Leader Lu. Seven of the previous Ten Great Demon Maidens were defeated by her. These people all come from various Immortal Families. If we don’t seize this opportunity to defeat her, and she is eliminated by the Immortal Alliance, then we will never be able to wash away the shame of our families.”
Cao Yan Kai D explained from the side.
“I understand, but that little demon girl’s strength is unfathomable now. Even the Deputy Alliance Leader died at her hands. Are you sure you can defeat her?”
Lu Lin kindly reminded.
“Yes, and this is not Zhu Xian Terrace, nor is it the Evergreen Convention. Once a fight starts, it will be a fight to the death. Have you considered the consequences?”
Elder Xiao kindly reminded, after all, one of these geniuses was a junior from the Xiao family of Jingtian Sect.
“Didn’t you say she killed Alliance Leader Cao by means of schemes and tricks?”
Zheng Wang asked persistently.
“We are not afraid. Even if we die, we must wash away the shame of our families.”
Cao Yan from the side also agreed.
“No.”
Lu Lin refused without hesitation, because these geniuses might become the future pillars of the Immortal Alliance, so he absolutely could not be careless.
After Lu Lin finished speaking, he turned to Qi Huang somewhat displeasily and said, “Listen to me carefully. Whether you are holding a funeral or a celebration today, you must proceed as a celebration. This Alliance Leader does not allow any funeral items to appear at this banquet, understand?”
“But I’ve already chosen a good day. Wouldn’t changing it abruptly offend the deceased?”
Qi Huang deliberately showed a troubled expression.
“There’s nothing wrong with that. If you insist on holding a funeral, then wait until we finish our celebration banquet,”
Lu Lin said forcefully.
At this moment, Zheng Wang, who was nearby, rudely interjected: “Alliance Leader, I beg you to agree to our request. We would rather die than wash away the shame of our families.”
“Yes, if we don’t do it today, we won’t have a chance anymore.”
Cao Yan also rushed to say.
“No, unless you get permission from your family elders.”
Lu Lin resolutely shook his head again.
“I will not agree. Today is the day to eliminate rebels, not the Evergreen Convention match.
How can I allow you to cause trouble here?
It’s commendable that you have ambition, but if it ruins the Immortal Alliance’s great affairs, who will be responsible?
If you really want to challenge that Cheng Hong Ling, why not wait for the Evergreen Convention?”
At this moment, the elders of the major Immortal Families surrounded them.
“A bunch of cowards.”
Qi Huang scoffed disdainfully, afraid of nothing, and made so many excuses.
“Did you hear that? Your parents and elders do not agree, so don’t keep pestering here.”
Lu Lin casually dismissed them, then turned to Qi Huang and reprimanded, “You too, did you hear what this Alliance Leader said? If you understand, then hurry up and disappear. What are you still standing here for?”
“Alliance Leader Lu, I feel that this is not right. As the saying goes, the deceased should be respected. It is against the rules for you to be seated before the deceased.”
Qi Huang remained unmoved and continued to pester.
“Who is this ignorant fellow?”
Zheng Wang, having been refused twice in a row, was already feeling aggrieved. Seeing someone getting in the way, his anger immediately erupted. He shouted at Qi Huang, “Do as Alliance Leader Lu tells you. If you keep making trouble here, be careful that I turn you into a dead person too.”
“Heh heh…”
Qi Huang burst into laughter. He said with a playful smile, “Look at you, you’re so impatient! Actually, if you want to challenge Qi Huang, you don’t need to seek Alliance Leader Lu’s opinion, nor do you need to get your families’ consent, because they can’t stop you at all.”
“You mean I can’t stop him?”
Lu Lin asked in surprise.
“I mean, you can’t stop me.”
After Qi Huang finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand.

With a crisp sound, Zheng Wang was sent flying backward in full view of everyone.
