Hehe, do you think I…
Will my clone tell you?
Cheng Hong Ling answered first. She understood that her beloved’s personality was weak at night and she needed her care very much.
“If she can really shield the immortal might, does that mean she can attack us without any scruples?”
At this moment, the voice of Peak Master Xiao Dian of Supreme Peak suddenly sounded.
Upon hearing this, Lu Lin’s expression changed drastically. While retreating, he shouted:
“Retreat! Everyone retreat! Return to the Immortal Alliance Main Altar!”
Upon being scolded, the members of the Immortal Alliance immediately reacted and retreated towards the main door of the Immortal Alliance Main Altar in a panic, no longer caring about their mission.
A large portion of the “honored guests” specifically invited by the Immortal Alliance also followed them in, including the Lu Family of the Great Wall Empire, the Zheng Family of Supreme Peak, and the Xiao Family of Jingtian Sect. Because their situation with Qi Huang was already irreconcilable, they naturally had to band together for warmth.
Of course, a large portion of these invited people also chose to remain neutral for various reasons, so they just subconsciously retreated, fearing being implicated.
Among the immortal forces, only the Hua Rong Sect and the Ning Family clearly stood on the side of the “rebels”. As for the Hua Rong Sect, there was no need to say more. As for the Ning Family, because they were persecuted by the Immortal Alliance for valuing loyalty and righteousness, they naturally supported Qi Huang unconditionally. At this moment, Ning Wuxia and her daughter were having tea at a neighboring table.
Besides these, there was also a uniquely acting family, the Cao Family. Because they all had their own hidden agendas, they had disagreements when choosing factions.
First was the lineage of Cao Hong. Because he died at the hands of Cheng Hong Ling, his descendants firmly stood on the side of the Immortal Alliance, led by Elder Cao Kun.
He was still fantasizing about marrying Cheng Hong Ling to his son Cao Yang, so he was unwilling to completely fall out with them and naturally chose to stay outside as a fence-sitter.
“Nephew Cao Hui, why are you still standing there blankly? Aren’t you going to bring your Cao Family relatives in?”
Cao Kun saw that his nephew Cao Hui was standing there stupidly and urged him anxiously.
However, Cao Hui seemed to not hear him. He knew that if he followed them into the Immortal Alliance, his son would never be able to marry Cheng Hong Ling, and if he lost, he might even die gruesomely on the spot.
Cao Kun’s expression gradually turned grim. Even a fool could understand that Cao Hui had other intentions, which was why his behavior was so “indecisive”.
“Saintess! Why don’t we follow the people from the Immortal Alliance inside?”
A female disciple from the You Xuan Palace couldn’t help but ask Saintess Yang Jin’er.
“Are you stupid? Didn’t you hear Qi Huang say that she came specifically for the Immortal Alliance today? We have no enmity with her, so why should we choose sides? What if the Immortal Alliance loses? Wouldn’t that be pure suicide?”
Yang Jin’er reprimanded in a tender voice.
“But by doing this, we are at most neutral. We haven’t sided with Cheng Hong Ling and the others, so how are we offending the Immortal Alliance? You’re simply overthinking it.”
Yang Jin’er couldn’t help but give the female disciple a sideways glance.
Most other immortal forces that did not have grudges with the Immortal Alliance had similar thoughts, so they all chose to remain neutral.
“Finally, quiet.”
Qi Huang smiled with satisfaction and then continued to say to her friends and relatives, “Everyone, is there anyone who wants to add to the crimes committed by the Immortal Alliance?”
“I’ll… I’ll…”
They stood up one after another and then started chattering and listing the crimes of the Immortal Alliance. It was less of a revelation of crimes and more of a simple desire to scold them.
After Qi Huang and a few senior sisters had vented enough, she spoke again, “Alright, I’ll add a bit more at the end. The crimes committed by the Immortal Alliance are far more than these. The Elder Zuo, whom they sent to the Xihui Dynasty, and his disciple have done countless evil deeds…
Qi Huang then recounted all the crimes the Immortal Alliance had committed against her and the HongHua Sect, including secretly awakening Zhen Feiyan, the source of Yin Energy in the Pingshan Mass Grave, which almost led to the destruction of the entire Huangtian Capital.
Is this Elder Zuo even human? In order to retaliate against a cultivator under him, he disregarded the lives of all the common people and awakened such terrifying evil spirits!
It’s more than just all of them. If Zhen Feiyan’s strength were truly equivalent to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm for cultivators, then let alone Huangtian Capital, even the Xihui Dynasty and the entire Cultivation World would have suffered a blow!
That’s right. In the entire Cultivation World, only Alliance Leader Lu has reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, and he was injured by her last time. If it weren’t for Qi Huang finding a way to stop it, it’s hard to imagine what the Cultivation World would be like now.
The thousands of onlookers began to curse again.
“Fellow Daoists, we have said what we wanted to say. There must be some among you who have been persecuted by the Immortal Alliance. Why not take this opportunity to speak out and let everyone see the true face of the Immortal Alliance? Anyway, with so many people present, you don’t have to be afraid of retaliation.”
Cheng Hong Ling then stepped forward to incite the crowd.
“I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”
After a moment of silence, voices began to come one after another. The onlookers
began to step forward one by one to expose the secret crimes of the Immortal Alliance.
“Husband, this Immortal Alliance is truly wicked!”
Qi Huang couldn’t help but transmit her thoughts to Cheng Hong Ling.
“Yes, wife! It seems that everyone has suffered from the Immortal Alliance for a long time, and our actions are in line with public opinion.”
Cheng Hong Ling said with a doting smile, her expression exactly the same as when she looked at Qi Huang when they were in their male personas.
And behind the main door of the Immortal Alliance Main Altar, Lu Lin and his allies could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
“I say, Alliance Leader, is everything they are saying true? Did our Immortal Alliance really do so many heinous things?”
Elder Kang asked cautiously.
“How would this Alliance Leader know…”
Lu Lin was about to answer subconsciously, but he quickly reacted and cursed, “Nonsense! This is clearly smearing the Immortal Alliance. Can’t you see that?”
“But who gave them that list? They’re just a bunch of ants.”
Elder Kang asked indignately.
“Who else? Isn’t it that little demoness?”
Lu Lin looked at Qi Huang with fire in his eyes and then angrily rebuked, “Why aren’t you people from the Immortal Families taking action? It’s one thing for that little demoness to act so arrogantly, but those ants dare to run out and slander the Immortal Alliance? This is simply going too far.”
“Our Supreme Peak has already set an example, and we lost a master because of it. Do you other immortal forces have the nerve to just stand by and watch?”
Peak Master Zheng Qian of Supreme Peak rebuked. He was naturally referring to Elder Zheng, who only had his Life Soul left.
“Don’t look at us, our Jingtian Sect also lost a master.”
Sect Leader Xiao Xi of Jingtian Sect responded indignantly. He was naturally referring to Elder Xiao, who was sitting at the same table as Elder Zheng
Elder Xiao, who also only had his Life Soul left at this moment.
Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the Lu Family, as they were the only immortal forces left in the main altar that had not yet taken action.
“What’s the use of us taking action? Firstly, the Immortal Tablet of the Lu Family is inherently weaker than the Hua Rong Sect; secondly, Elder Zheng of Supreme Peak already tried, and the passive defense of the Immortal Might has no effect on that demoness.”
Lu Yi’s father, Lu Gao, argued.
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads helplessly and then turned their gaze back to Lu Lin.
“Alliance Leader, since the passive defense of the Immortal Might has no effect on her, then we can only trouble you to go up and fight her head-on. Perhaps her strength is not as good as yours.”
Elder Cao beside him suggested.
Lu Lin wanted to speak but stopped. In the end, he sighed as if accepting his fate. He was, after all, the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance. Even without any confidence, he had to bite the bullet and go.
Qi Huang, standing outside the door, listened to the endless chatter of the onlookers. She gradually became impatient. So, she cupped her fists and bowed, “Fellow Daoists, time is not early. If you have anything else to say, you can tell me slowly after I have destroyed the Immortal Alliance. Anyway, my ongoing banquet will last for three days and three nights.”
After saying this, Qi Huang strode towards the main door of the Immortal Alliance Main Altar and then threatened crisply, “This humble self came specifically to destroy the Immortal Alliance today. It is still not too late for those of you who want to live to leave now. It will be too late to leave when I make my move.”
“Presumptuous! This Alliance Leader would like to see what kind of confidence you demoness have to say such things.”
Lu Lin roared, finally charging out with world-destroying might.
