Chapter 902 Destroying the Immortal Alliance (3)
Upon hearing this, the people of the Immortal Alliance became vigilant again, and the tens of millions of onlookers also perked up. “This humble self believes in having a just cause for action. All of you present have suffered persecution from the Immortal Alliance to varying degrees. Why not speak up and let everyone judge while so many esteemed onlookers are here?”
Qi Huang curtsied slightly. “How strange, this Qi Huang seems like a different person!”
“Yeah, she was like a little girl just now, and now she’s like a lady from a prominent family.”
“Don’t get hung up on it, this might just be her peculiar hobby. I’m more interested in whether the persecution she mentioned is real.”
“It’s probably fake, right? The Immortal Alliance is known as the yamen of the cultivation world, how could they persecute others? This is definitely her trying to cover herself up.”
Some onlookers whispered among themselves.
Those close to Qi Huang were used to it, as her current state had been going on for several years.
Cheng Hong Ling looked at Qi Huang with loving eyes, as if a “man” were looking at his beloved wife.
In reality, Cheng Hong Ling always treated the two personalities of Qi Huang separately. She treated the male personality as her husband, relying on her more, while she treated the female personality as a beloved wife, indulging her.
“Alright, then I, as an ancestor of the Jiang family, will take the lead.”
Jiang Feng stood up first, then directly revealed his crimson eyes and sharp fangs. “Oh my god! It’s an evil spirit! He’s an evil spirit!”
The exclamations of the onlookers erupted one after another.
“How dare you cultivators collude with evil spirits!”
Lu Lin immediately realized this was a good opportunity to turn defense into offense, so he began to stir the emotions of the crowd: “Everyone saw it, that fellow is a zombie. What good people can these rebels be, colluding with evil spirits and ghosts?”
Qi Huang’s smile did not diminish: “Indeed, this ancestor of the Jiang clan is a zombie, but the instigator was the Immortal Alliance.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Lu Lin exclaimed in shock.
“She isn’t talking nonsense.”
Jiang Feng, no longer silent, began to introduce himself and recount the past of being betrayed by a traitor in the Immortal Alliance when he was campaigning against Pingshan Mass Grave.
“Is what he’s saying true?”
“Don’t know, it was a thousand years ago. Without evidence, who would dare to make judgments?”
“It’s mostly false. The Immortal Alliance and evil spirits are mortal enemies, why would they hinder Jiang Feng from campaigning against Pingshan Mass Grave?”
“Yes, the logic doesn’t hold up.”
The onlookers began to analyze, and most expressed doubt.
“Heh, this is truly laughable! This matter is over a thousand years ago, with no witnesses and no material evidence, do you think everyone will believe it?”
Lu Lin showed a look of disdain.
“Who said there are no witnesses?”
With a thought, Qi Huang summoned the Four-Eared Wolf Bai Yun before her.
“That’s… that’s actually a Four-Eared Wolf! No… no… it’s a Four-Eared Wolf zombie.”
“What is a Four-Eared Wolf?”
“It’s a type of wolf with a robust physique and astonishing combat power. They have four ears, allowing them to see in all directions and hear in all directions, making them the best choice for guarding the homes of noble families in the past.”
“Then why aren’t they seen now?”
“I heard they were exterminated by the Immortal Alliance.”
“Ah? Why did the Immortal Alliance exterminate them?”
“Who knows? This happened thousands of years ago, I only saw it by chance in a book.”
An onlooker recognized Bai Yun’s identity immediately.
“As you can see, I was a Four-Eared Wolf in my life, and became an evil spirit at Pingshan Mass Grave after death. As for why I became an evil spirit, I’ll let my master explain.”
Bai Yun naturally hated the Immortal Alliance to the bone and willingly cooperated.
Zhen Feiyan had waited for this day for too long. She also stood up, removed her disguise, and recounted how she and Bai Yun were persecuted by the Immortal Alliance.
“How can this Immortal Alliance Leader be so cruel? To exterminate the entire clan of the Four-Eared Wolf for a single finger of his granddaughter, and not even spare the master.”
The onlookers issued condemnation one after another.
“It’s you? You’re that evil spirit who attacked the Immortal Alliance headquarters six years ago?”
Lu Lin also recognized Zhen Feiyan’s identity at this moment.
“It is I. Now do you understand why I’ve come to cause trouble for you?”
Zhen Feiyan sneered repeatedly.
“After we were persecuted by the Immortal Alliance, we became evil spirits and stayed in Pingshan Mass Grave until…”
Bai Yun then recounted how there was a traitor from the Immortal Alliance in the team when Jiang Feng was campaigning against Pingshan Mass Grave.
“A joke. Who knows that our Immortal Alliance has always been incompatible with evil spirits? How could we possibly hinder him from campaigning against that Pingshan Mass Grave?”
Lu Lin, naturally, would not admit it even if beaten to death.
“The reason is very simple. Your Immortal Alliance high-level figures have always adhered to a secret code of conduct since ancient times, which is the ‘gu-raising’ tactic.”
Qi Huang walked over elegantly and explained: “So-called ‘gu-raising’ is to deliberately allow those evil spirits to develop, in order to maintain their own status and value. Because you know that once demons and monsters disappear, the demand for cultivators by ordinary people will greatly decrease, which will directly harm the interests of the Immortal Alliance.”
“Yes!”
Cheng Hong Ling stood up and added: “Therefore, it is absolutely something the Immortal Alliance did not want to see when our ancestor of the Jiang clan was campaigning against Pingshan Mass Grave. So they sent people to secretly sabotage and harm these heroes who served the country and the people.”
Upon hearing the word “heroes,” Jiang Feng’s face showed a look of pleasant surprise. He never expected his rebellious granddaughter to praise him one day.
…
“My heavens, I never knew things were so complicated! This so-called ‘gu-raising’ tactic does sound plausible.”
“Now I finally understand why the evil spirits in the cultivation world have never been completely eliminated. It turns out the Immortal Alliance is deliberately letting them go easy. These people, for their own selfish interests, disregard the common people of the world, truly shameless.”
“Oh, I never expected that the Immortal Alliance, which always touted itself as righteous, is actually a bunch of hypocrites.”
The onlookers gritted their teeth and cursed.
“Everyone, don’t fall for their trick. That beast was already with her, can he be considered a witness?”
Lu Lin quickly warned, then angrily rebuked Qi Huang: “You demon girl, do you think you can cover up your rebellious actions by deliberately smearing the Immortal Alliance? Where is the material evidence?”
“You rebels are truly cunning, unscrupulously fabricating stories to slander the Immortal Alliance. As long as one of our charges cannot be cleared, you will become the righteous side, right? Unfortunately, without witnesses or material evidence, who will believe your ghost stories?”
Elder You also chimed in.
“Do you think it’s difficult to find witnesses and material evidence?”
Qi Huang maintained her polite smile and said to the royal families of those Central Continent countries: “Sister Jin Xue, Sister Yu Ning, Sister Ouyang Yi, please tell us about how you were secretly captured by the Immortal Alliance to be used as bait.”
“Okay!”
Jin Xue and the other two women stood up and cooperatively recounted how they were captured to be used as bait.
“Alright, alright, they used this smear tactic years ago, and not long after, they themselves posted notices apologizing to the Immortal Alliance. Everyone in the cultivation world knows this. Isn’t it shameful to bring it up again now?”
Lu Lin sarcastically pretended to be calm.
“Yes, we all know about this. Six years ago, it was these few countries that jointly issued notices condemning the Immortal Alliance, and soon after, they voluntarily came forward to clarify for the Immortal Alliance. Who would believe it if they brought it up again now?”
The onlookers agreed.
“The reason they compromised at the time was that they received threats from the Immortal Alliance, which is why they chose to endure it.”
Qi Huang explained on behalf of the royal families of the three countries.
“What’s the use of you saying so much? Where is the evidence?”
The corpses were crucial.
“Heh, do you want evidence? It’s not that simple, is it? You probably didn’t expect that this humble self was also among those captives at the time, did you?”
Qi Huang smiled charmingly, and with a thought, the Recording Mirror appeared before her. As she adjusted it, all the footage from when she filmed at Tencel Valley Treasure Land was replayed.
“Heh heh… we were also in the team back then, didn’t you know?”
Ruan Lingyu and several other senior sisters also mocked.
Lu Lin’s expression tightened, and he quickly sent a telepathic message to the elders next to him: “Aren’t you guys going to act? If the Immortal Alliance is disgraced, do you think you’ll have good days?”
The elders from Immortal Families showed obvious signs of struggle. They had indeed reached their limit, but no one wanted to be the first to step forward.
“Elder Brother, Second Brother, it’s fine if others don’t make a move, but that little demon girl just injured me and your nephew. Are you just going to stand by and watch? Among everyone present from Supreme Peak, only your names are engraved on the Immortal Tablet.”
Zheng Pan, whose abdomen was pierced by Qi Huang at the beginning, suddenly shouted. His Elder Brother was the Peak Master of Supreme Peak, Zheng Wei’s father, Zheng Qian, and his Second Brother was an elder of the Immortal Alliance named Zheng Kun.
“Let me do it. After all, this demon girl is targeting the Immortal Alliance today.”
Zheng Kun finally stepped out from the Immortal Alliance group. He understood that it was more appropriate for him to make a move now. Even if he lost, it would not implicate Supreme Peak.
“Demon girl, you first injured my clansmen from Supreme Peak, and now you want to smear the Immortal Alliance. I, Zheng Kun, will not allow you to continue acting wildly here. Don’t you want to witness the power of the Immortal Tablet? Now, this elder will grant your wish!”
Zheng Kun slowly summoned his treasure sword.
“Retreat! Hurry and retreat!”
Lu Lin’s expression changed, and he quickly reminded the people of the Immortal Alliance to retreat.
“Run! Elder Zheng is coming!”
The high-level figures and disciples of the Immortal Alliance naturally knew the terrifying power of Immortal Might. They all fled backward in panic, and even the onlookers in the distance retreated far away in fear.
