Chapter 805: Annihilating the Immortal Alliance (Part 6)
Lu Lin struck not entirely out of desperation; he still had some confidence. After all, he was the foremost expert in the cultivation world! Furthermore, it was rumored that Qi Huang’s divine sense was only slightly stronger than Xie’s, and a bit of Heaven-Concealing Water could counteract it.
Coincidentally, Lu Lin, as a Heavenly Punishment Realm expert, was always sprinkled with Heaven-Concealing Water. Thus, he was very confident that as long as his speed was fast enough, that “little demoness” would not be able to detect his trace. Hence, the moment he attacked, he used his fastest movement technique.
Lu Lin’s feet trod on the void, and dense, tangible special golden True Qi erupted, strangely attracting the surrounding space like a magnet, achieving a “shrinking the ground into an inch” effect. His speed was incredibly fast, so fast that no one present could track his trajectory with the naked eye, not even Zhen Feiyan.
“Die for me!”
Lu Lin instantly appeared before her, his sword creating faint spatial fluctuations as it pierced towards Qi Huang’s towering chest without any hint of tenderness.
“Be careful!”
Zhen Feiyan urgently warned. The last time she entered the palace with the Immortal Gu, she had suffered because of this old man’s bizarre movement technique.
However, Qi Huang remained serene, like a dignified young lady, showing no fear. The reason was simple: the old man’s speed was indeed fast, reaching the late stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, but in her eyes, at the Human Immortal realm, he was still as slow as a snail.
“Kneel!”
Qi Huang gently commanded, her powerful divine sense surging out like a raging beast.
“Boom!”
Lu Lin fell like Mount Tai, without any power to resist, crashing into the ground and creating a large pit. Dust billowed everywhere, and only then did the many onlookers clearly see his figure.
“Heav-Heavenly Punishment Realm late… late stage? How… how is this possible? How… how did you cultivate?”
Lu Lin, lying prostrate on the ground, struggled.
Qi Huang wasted no words and increased her force.
“Boom!”
Lu Lin’s bones made crisp cracking sounds. The ground beneath him sank by another zhang, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, then roared unwillingly, “Why… why… I clearly sprinkled Heaven-Concealing Water on myself!”
Qi Huang remained calm as water, her divine sense retrieving Lu Lin’s shattered body and then commanding, “Want to live? Disband the Immortal Gu!”
“Daydream! Spatial Annihilation!”
Lu Lin roared, and the special golden True Qi within him circulated in a mysterious trajectory. At the same time, a huge gravitational force spread out, drawing in the surrounding space and compressing it forcefully towards the center.
“Swish swish!”
Space from all directions was pulled, moving towards Lu Lin and Qi Huang. Houses in streets and alleys began to collapse, dense cracks appeared on the walls, and people desperately fled outwards. Even Qi Huang’s friends and relatives could not sit still and stood up in shock.
Qi Huang soon felt immense pressure from all directions, making her feel like she was at the bottom of the sea thousands of feet deep. Her bones creaked under the heavy burden, and even the deployment of her divine sense was slightly obstructed.
“This is spatial power, kill him quickly!”
Cheng Hong Ling, not far away, shouted a reminder.
“Sect Leader Lu truly opens my eyes.”
Qi Huang said sarcastically. Her terrifying divine sense surged out, shattering all the nearby compressing space, and along with it, Lu Lin’s body was also crushed into pieces. This was the principle of one force breaking all techniques.
With Lu Lin’s death, the surrounding space returned to calm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Lin’s Life Soul was stunned on the spot, his face filled with disbelief. He truly couldn’t understand why such a terrifying freak existed in this world.
“Sect Leader Lu is indeed the number one person in the cultivation world, able to indirectly use spatial power through his metal-attribute techniques!”
Qi Huang politely affirmed.
“Impossible! This is impossible! Spatial power is clearly the strongest power in this world!”
Lu Lin did not answer, but muttered to himself in a dazed state.
…
“My heavens, what just happened? Why was there such a strong suction?”
“If I’m not mistaken, Sect Leader Lu just performed a heaven-defying divine skill, preparing to draw in the surrounding space to suppress that demoness.”
“Yes, but that demoness broke it. Look, the space around them is already shattered beyond recognition.”
“My goodness! How strong is this demoness? She actually shattered a large expanse of space so silently.”
…
Tens of millions of onlookers were so shocked they were speechless.
“Can the Immortal Alliance be disbanded now?”
Qi Huang asked Lu Lin’s Life Soul again.
“You demoness, don’t dream. As the Sect Leader of the Immortal Alliance, I will only die in battle, never bow my head.”
Lu Lin recovered and stubbornly said. The broken clone beside him attacked Qi Huang again.
“Then this humble self can only send Sect Leader Lu on his way.”
Qi Huang willed it, and Lu Lin’s Life Soul instantly vanished. The true clone also fell straight to the ground. As the Sect Leader of the Immortal Alliance, he thus perished.
“Sect Leader Lu is dead! Sect Leader Lu was actually killed by her!”
Tens of millions of onlookers’ eyes nearly popped out.
“Long live Junior Sister! Junior Sister is invincible!”
“Retribution! This is true retribution! Who told him to do so much evil!”
“Good riddance! Now the Immortal Alliance is finished!”
…
Qi Huang’s relatives and friends jumped up excitedly, cheering.
Zhen Feiyan, watching from afar, gasped. Only she knew how troublesome Lu Lin was. She never expected such a terrifying enemy to be as powerless as a chick in Qi Huang’s hands.
The few little monstrous talents from the previous generation of the cultivation world and the geniuses of this generation all looked at Qi Huang in fear. Their desire for revenge instantly vanished, replaced only by a fear that stemmed from their souls.
Everyone from the Immortal Alliance was also terrified, their bodies trembling so much that they couldn’t even hold their weapons steady.
Qi Huang, however, walked forward with elegant steps and warned again, “Now that your Sect Leader is dead, I’ll count to three. If you still remain obstinate, you will follow him. One…”
The hundreds of thousands of high-level figures and disciples of the Immortal Alliance were beside themselves, looking around in confusion, hoping to find a leader, but no one dared to speak out against her.
“Two…”
Qi Huang counted again.
“Run!”
The people in the Immortal Alliance’s main altar finally lost their psychological defenses and fled outside the main altar one after another.
Qi Huang knew the Immortal Alliance’s momentum was gone, so she didn’t continue counting.
Cheng Hong Ling saw that the people from the cultivation noble families were also about to escape, so she quickly sent a mind transmission, “Wife, are you going to let the Lü family people go too? They killed so many disciples of Shuiyu Valley, and their blood debt must be repaid!”
“Don’t worry, husband!”
Qi Huang appeased her obediently, then turned and shouted with her True Qi, “Esteemed Daoists of the Lü family, this humble self only said that people from the Immortal Alliance could surrender, but I didn’t agree to let you leave.”
The Lü family members, deeply aware of their grave sins, did not dare to linger and fled frantically, blending into the crowd.
Qi Huang frowned slightly, her divine sense extending out, transforming into delicate ropes that pursued them, pulling back all the members of the Lü family.
“What do you want, you little slut? I am a descendant of an immortal! If you dare to lay hands on us, once the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet recovers, you will surely die without a burial ground!”
Lu Yi cursed with bluster and bluff, outwardly fierce but inwardly timid.
“Sorry, your Lü family’s Immortal Tablet probably won’t have a chance to recover. Next month, this Fairy will personally go to the Lü family to remove that Immortal Tablet.”
Qi Huang pursed her lips into a smile, which then bloomed like a hundred flowers.
“What did you say? Remove the Immortal Tablet?”
Lu Yi’s father, Lü Song, thought he had misheard.
Qi Huang said no more. Her hair grew wildly, piercing the Qi Seas of several people.
“Ah!”
A thousand people from the Lü family let out hysterical screams and then rolled on the ground. With their Qi Seas destroyed, they were now invalids.
“My goodness!”
Seeing this scene, the onlookers felt a chill all over their bodies.
Qi Huang dragged several people from the Lü family to the people of Shuiyu Valley and said, “The Lü family once used the Immortal Tablet to suppress Shuiyu Valley, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of disciples and common people. Their crime is heinous. Now, I hand them over to you for disposal.”
“Thank you! Thank you, Sister Qi Huang!”
Mu Ruoyi sobbed with emotion, and other high-level figures from the HongHua Sect were also grateful.
Seeing that most of the people from the Immortal Alliance’s main altar had escaped, Qi Huang ascended and then announced from above, “Everyone, please take your leave. This humble self will announce a few matters. First, the Immortal Alliance is completely disbanded from today onwards. All matters in the cultivation world from now on will be managed by the Dao Alliance. My main body, Cheng Hong Ling, will be the Alliance Leader of the Dao Alliance, and the Dao Alliance’s main altar will be located at the HongHua Sect in Huang Tian Prefecture, Xihui Dynasty; Second, all Immortal Alliance branch altars distributed in various countries of the cultivation world will be under the Dao Alliance. You must continue to fulfill your duties well. If anyone is unwilling to stay, they can leave, but harming the interests of the Dao Alliance is absolutely forbidden, and the revival of the Immortal Alliance is also not allowed. Anyone found doing so will be killed without mercy, and those who stay are no exception; Third, our purpose in establishing the Dao Alliance is also to seek welfare for the common people of the cultivation world. Various Immortal Sects can join voluntarily, and we will try our best to provide protection and resources, but the prerequisite is that the Nine Nether Demonic Beasts in their sects must be brought to the Dao Alliance main altar for registration.”
Qi Huang finished speaking the three points in one breath and then said, “Apart from these, everything else remains the same. Everyone can go back to their lives in peace. This humble self only wants the Immortal Alliance to perish and does not intend to disrupt the entire cultivation world!”
“This Qi Huang is knowledgeable and reasonable. She doesn’t seem as wicked as the Immortal Alliance propaganda claimed.”
“Yes, if she only targets the Immortal Alliance, it really won’t affect us ordinary cultivators and mortals.”
“Let her do whatever she wants. Anyway, for us, it’s just like changing emperors. Who reigns makes no difference.”
…
Tens of millions of onlookers breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
“Oh, right, this humble self plans to set up a three-day feast here to celebrate the demise of the Immortal Alliance. If you are interested, you can stay and celebrate together.”
Qi Huang then invited them, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
“What are you planning to do with the Immortal Alliance’s main altar?”
Cheng Hong Ling walked over and asked.
Qi Huang turned her head and looked at the Immortal Alliance’s main altar, which was as large as a third of No Night City. A look of disgust appeared on her delicate face: “It’s a place filled with filth, no need to keep it!”
After saying this, Qi Huang’s terrifying divine sense descended from the heavens like a collapsing celestial river, fiercely striking the Immortal Alliance’s main altar. Dust flew everywhere and the earth trembled.
“Boom!”
A terrifying sound echoed between heaven and earth. With a single strike, Qi Huang destroyed the magnificent Immortal Alliance main altar, leaving only ruins.
“My heavens! Is this something a mortal can do?”
The spectating cultivators were once again terrified, and many Immortal Sects thus solidified their resolve to join the Dao Alliance.
Qi Huang’s divine sense enveloped the entire ruins of the Immortal Alliance’s main altar to prevent the dust from spreading. After all, she hadn’t held her “celebration banquet” yet.
Qi Huang then directed Wenxiang Pavilion to serve dishes again, and then had Master Chen and the girls from the Hundred Flowers Brothel get to work, preparing a proper send-off for the Immortal Alliance.
The girls from the Hundred Flowers Brothel and Master Chen, without any further reservations and having witnessed Qi Huang’s might, did not dare to hesitate and immediately worked diligently.
Elders Xiao and Zheng, who were left with only their Life Souls, served as the “spirit tablets” for the Immortal Alliance, with a thousand people “paying respects.”
Amidst everyone’s laughter, the matter of the Immortal Alliance’s destruction was directly forgotten, and the somber celebration turned into a pure joyous occasion.
Qi Huang did not slacken her efforts. Her divine sense enveloped No Night City and even the entire Immortal Arrival Empire. Anyone found attempting to revive the Immortal Alliance or acting against her would be immediately eliminated. Although she was in her female persona now, she understood the principle of eliminating evils completely.
Cheng Hong Ling was also not idle. She had to deal with cultivators from various sects who came to curry favor. Facing the constant calls of “Alliance Leader,” she soon became troubled, as she truly didn’t know if she could handle the responsibility.
“Wife, perhaps we should forget it! Let someone else with experience be the Alliance Leader of the Dao Alliance.”
Cheng Hong Ling finally couldn’t help but discuss it with Qi Huang.
“Why? Don’t you want to do things for the common people of the cultivation world?”
Qi Huang asked confusedly.
“I do, but…”
Cheng Hong Ling revealed a rare look of hesitation. She pondered for a moment and said, “First, my experience is still shallow, and I don’t know if I can handle it. Second, as you know, the path we walk is destined to be against heaven, and we cannot be negligent at all. If we get bogged down by worldly affairs, we won’t be able to concentrate on cultivation. What if the lackeys of the Heavenly Dao appear?”
“Husband, you don’t need to worry about this. For the first point, we can completely recruit some experienced cultivators to assist you in managing the Immortal Alliance, which will solve the problem of shallow experience. As for the second point, you only need to send a clone to perform the duties of the Alliance Leader.”
Qi Huang offered her advice.
“A clone?”
Cheng Hong Ling was stunned for a moment.
“Yes, you have reached the Heavenly Punishment Realm. Your Three Souls and Seven Vital Souls can all be cultivated into clones, which will be enough for you.”
Qi Huang reminded her.
“Is this okay? They also need to cultivate.”
Cheng Hong Ling hesitated slightly.
“It’s not necessary. With our growth rate, you can quickly provide them with new bodies. This way of becoming stronger is much faster than them cultivating on their own. This is the first point. As for the second point, they are desperately seeking freedom, and this can perfectly satisfy their wishes.”
Qi Huang analyzed logically.
Cheng Hong Ling’s face showed a thoughtful expression. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, let me consider it.”
“No need to consider it. Don’t worry, I will do my best to help you, after all, I also need the Immortal… Dao Alliance members to help me plant Ghost Tomatoes.”
Qi Huang persuaded her again, then said, “Husband, don’t let me look down on you!”
“Stop talking, I’ll do it!”
Cheng Hong Ling gritted her teeth and agreed.
Qi Huang smiled with satisfaction. She insisted on Cheng Hong Ling becoming the Dao Alliance Leader for a reason. First, it was naturally due to absolute trust. Second, she wanted to deter the hidden “rats.” After all, the Immortal Alliance had just been destroyed, and if someone else took the position of Alliance Leader, it might not be enough to “convince the masses.”
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning, and Qi Huang couldn’t wait to switch back to her male persona. Unfortunately, she didn’t know that her actions were clearly seen by nearby Yin-Yang Eyes, and not just one.
The Yin-Yang Eyes were greatly shocked, but due to Qi Huang’s overwhelming pressure, they dared not reveal it publicly and chose to remain silent.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. The celebration ended, and Qi Huang prepared to leave with her relatives and friends. After all, the Immortal Alliance was destroyed, but her Dao Alliance had not yet appeared.
“Everyone, we bid farewell. Next month, I will go to the Lü family in the Great Wall Empire to personally remove their Immortal Tablet. Those who wish to watch the excitement can come. This Immortal Elder guarantees to provide a more exciting visual feast for everyone.”
Qi Huang announced grandly as she was leaving.
