Chapter 809: I want to gather three Immortal Tablets to suppress her
With a flick of her wrist, Qi Huang’s boundless demonic hair, like a venomous snake’s tongue, pierced through the Qi Seas of the Lü family members. Her speed was so astonishing that even masters of the Heavenly Punishment Realm could not evade it, let alone these cowardly sycophants.
“Ah! Save me! It hurts!”
The True Qi in the Qi Seas of a thousand Lü family members surged outwards, causing them to writhe on the ground in agony, crying and screaming.
“Go back and tell Lü Dao that if he wants his descendants to live, he should first compensate Shuiyu Valley for its losses.”
Qi Huang stated her demand, then issued a warning: “Secondly, this Alliance will visit the Lü family to remove that Immortal Tablet on the first of next month. If he opens the door wide like a prostitute and lets me do as I please, the Lü family might be able to preserve their lives. If he dares to resist, whoever stops me dies, understand?”
As Qi Huang finished speaking, her spiritual sense swept out, and the Lü family wretches were flung away like trash, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
“Grand Elder is mighty!”
The female disciples of Shuiyu Valley burst into smiles, their tears drying up.
“Sisters, remember this: as long as I, Qi Huang, am here, no one will dare to bully Shuiyu Valley. Do you understand?”
Qi Huang seized the opportunity to deliver a victory speech.
Mu Ruoyi’s beautiful eyes softened at Qi Huang’s words. If Qi Huang were a man, she would have likely surrendered herself to him long ago.
Lü Dao soon received the news and was furious, his rage boiling. Several family members quickly arrived.
“This little slut is outrageous, daring to harm even the Lü family!”
Lü Yi’s aunt, Lü Fei, was furious.
“The Lü family? She even dares to kill people from Supreme Peak and Jingtian Sect, let alone our Lü family. Those idiots deserved it. I told them to lower their stance and negotiate properly with that little demoness, but they threatened her directly. Isn’t that courting death?”
Lü Dao lamented their lack of foresight.
“Hmph! These guys are usually so arrogant, they’ve lost their basic brains.”
Lü Yi’s uncle-in-law sneered.
“But what can we do? My husband and son are still in her hands.”
Lü Yi’s mother, Madam Zhuo, cried.
“Didn’t she demand compensation? I’ll send someone to deliver it personally. As long as I can save my son and grandson, losing some gold and silver is no big deal.”
Lü Dao took a deep breath.
“Father, that little demoness crippled Elder Brother and nephew. Must we just swallow our pride?”
Lü Fei asked, unwilling to accept.
“Don’t worry. As the saying goes, a gentleman’s revenge is never too late. Let’s redeem your elder brother and the others first.”
Lü Dao appeased her.
Qi Huang busied herself with the affairs of the Dao Alliance while awaiting the arrival of August 1st.
A few days later, at noon, people from the Lü family arrived again. This time, their attitude was much better, and they even sent several large boxes of gold and silver treasures to compensate Shuiyu Valley.
“Not bad, you’re quite sensible! You can leave now.”
Qi Huang waved her hand, dismissing them.
“Then what about Master and Young Master?”
The Lü family’s leading servant asked in confusion.
“This Alliance Leader only promised the Lü family that she wouldn’t kill them immediately, not that she would release them right away.”
Qi Huang said in a teasing tone.
“You…”
The servant was shocked and enraged.
“If you don’t want to become cripples, hurry up and get lost! Tell your Master that this Alliance Leader will remove the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet on the first of next month. If he allows me unimpeded access, I might consider releasing his son and grandson.”
Qi Huang offered a solution.
The servants were at a loss and could only stand there awkwardly. They had a mission to complete, and if they didn’t bring back their Master and Young Master, they would be severely punished.
“Qi Huang, sister, since the compensation has been received, why not release that father and son? Keeping them here will require us to assign people to serve them.”
At this moment, Mu Ruoyi stepped forward and spoke in a pleading tone.
“Are they seeking revenge?”
Qi Huang asked curiously.
Mu Ruoyi’s delicate face showed a hint of struggle. After a moment, she said, “They want to, but I don’t know why I can’t bring myself to torture them any longer after tormenting them for a while. Anyway, they are already cripples. Let’s release them.”
“You are still too kind.”
Qi Huang sighed. In fact, she had expected this long ago.
“Yes, perhaps we are not suited to be villains by nature.”
Mu Ruoyi chuckled self-deprecatingly.
“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll give them a chance to live. As for whether they cherish it, that depends on their fate.”
Qi Huang spoke cryptically.
“What chance?”
Mu Ruoyi asked, confused.
“Nothing. You’ll know when the time comes. Release them if you want to.”
Qi Huang teased.
Mu Ruoyi frowned, but she didn’t press further. Soon, she ordered people to bring out Lü Yi and his son.
With their Qi Seas destroyed and having been tormented by Shuiyu Valley for half a month, Lü Yi and his son were now in a state that was neither human nor ghost.
The Lü family servants were overjoyed and quickly helped them to leave.
About seven or eight days later, Lü Yi and his son were brought back home.
Seeing the pathetic state of his son and grandson, Lü Dao trembled with rage. He immediately summoned influential members of the family to discuss countermeasures.
“That little demoness not only crippled my son and grandson but also threatened to remove the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet. Everyone, let’s discuss how to get revenge.”
Lü Dao sought everyone’s opinion.
“Elder Brother, are you sure our family’s current Immortal Tablet is stronger than that of Hua Rong Sect?”
Cousin Lü Ze asked worriedly. Although he had always coveted the position of Clan Leader, he understood the principle of uniting against a common enemy. Now that the little demoness was vowing to remove the Immortal Tablet, how could he still dare to scheme?
“Yes, Great Elder Uncle. This little demoness was able to kill Alliance Leader Lu. If we compare pure cultivation levels, our combined strength here is no match for her.”
Lü Ze’s grandson, Lü Jun, advised.
“However, compared to Hua Rong Sect, it’s one notch higher. But six years ago, it was severely weakened after suppressing that little demoness and has fallen into dormancy. It has not yet recovered to its peak state and cannot actively attack. It’s hard to say who is stronger or weaker.”
“Lü Dao explained truthfully.”
“Then what should we do? If our family’s Immortal Tablet loses, won’t we all become fish on a chopping board?”
Madam Zhuo became anxious.
“The reason that woman hates our family’s Immortal Tablet so much is firstly because of Shuiyu Valley, and secondly because Elder Brother carved her name on it. Why don’t we remove her name? Perhaps there’s still a glimmer of hope.”
Lü Jun offered his suggestion.
“Impossible! That name was carved by my grandson himself. No one can remove it. Even if Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang are dead, they will still be Lü family ghosts.”
Lü Yi, who was in a corner, suddenly refused in agitation. He knew that if such a thing happened, he would become a laughingstock of the entire Cultivation World.
“Elder Brother, is it worth sacrificing the entire family for your pitiful self-esteem?”
Lü Jun questioned him. In the Cultivation World, strength was respected. Now that his elder brother had become a cripple, he naturally wouldn’t show mercy.
“Coward! My grandfather just said that our family’s Immortal Tablet is not necessarily weaker than Hua Rong Sect’s. How do you presume we will lose?”
Lü Yi retorted insultingly.
“So what? Are you willing to gamble all our clan’s lives?”
Lü Jun retorted, suppressing his anger.
“Lü Jun, who told you we only have one Immortal Tablet as our backing? That little demoness has countless enemies, and there are people who want her dead more than we can count.”
Lü Dao reminded him.
“Elder Brother means…”
Lü Ze showed a thoughtful expression.
“Don’t forget, that little demoness has offended many people this time by destroying the Immortal Alliance, including Supreme Peak and Jingtian Sect.”
Lü Dao reminded them.
Indeed, if they could obtain their support, the situation might improve considerably. However, ordinary people would not play a significant role in an Immortal Tablet confrontation.
Lü Ze frowned again.
“Ordinary people? Don’t forget that Supreme Peak and Jingtian Sect are also Immortal forces. As long as I can carve my name onto their Immortal Tablets, it will be equivalent to having three Immortal Tablets, and I don’t believe I can’t destroy that little demoness.”
Lü Dao chuckled proudly.
“Father is wise! With this, Hua Rong Sect’s Immortal Tablet is nothing. It will be easy for us to get revenge.”
Lü Gao became excited.
“But Elder Brother, are they really willing to let you carve your name?”
Lü Ze asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry. Their clans have experts who died at Qi Huang’s hands, so they naturally want to kill her for revenge.”
Lü Dao explained.
“Yes, they are not fools. That little demoness is too powerful. Only by joining forces with us do they have a chance for revenge.”
Lü Gao agreed.
“The method is quite good, but have you forgotten something? That little demoness seems to be able to shield herself from the blow of Immortal Might.”
Lü Ze reminded them.
“Shield Immortal Might? I don’t believe there’s any way to shield against Immortal Might in this world. The reason she could escape is definitely because there was a problem with Supreme Peak’s Immortal Tablet. For example, if our Lü family’s Immortal Tablet had some problem, would you casually talk about it?”
Lü Dao speculated boldly.
Lü Ze opened his mouth but ultimately found no reason to refute.
“Let’s leave it at that. Regardless of the truth, allying with those two families to deal with that little demoness is our best option, and indeed our only option, unless you have a better method.”
Lü Dao slammed the table and finalized the plan.
Everyone whispered amongst themselves, and then they all supported this method.
The next morning, Lü Dao headed towards Supreme Peak. This time, he was determined to persuade Supreme Peak and Jingtian Sect, so that he could gather three Immortal Tablets to suppress Qi Huang.
