Chapter 845: I Am Your Ancestor (4)
It was unexpected that the immortal from the Lingxi Sect actually responded.
Cheng Hong Ling’s face also showed surprise.
Qi Huang came back to her senses, a hint of helplessness appearing on her face. There were two reasons why she impersonated the ancestor of the Lingxi Sect. First, she could gain the prestige of an immortal for free and save herself the trouble of explaining her identity. Second, she and Cheng Hong Ling could not stay here forever, so they needed to find a trustworthy person or force to act as an agent to manage the “vegetable garden” for them. The Lingxi Sect was obviously a good choice.
Unfortunately, all of it had now become a fantasy. She never expected that the immortal ancestor of the Lingxi Sect would actually respond.
“But even if they responded, where is this immortal ancestor of the Lingxi Sect? Can she reach the spatial barrier here in time? Secondly, does this Zhong Qin have a way to open the spatial barrier? If not, what’s the point?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s pretty face immediately showed suspicion. After all, Zhong Qin’s cultivation level was only Shentong Realm. Let alone Shatter the Void, she could barely Shatter air.
Qi Huang’s face showed confusion. She hadn’t thought about this in detail.
…
“Really? Did Ancestor Zhong Zhen really respond to you?”
“Heaven has finally opened its eyes! Our Lingxi Sect is saved! Wuwuwu…”
“Not only are we saved, but with the protection of our immortal ancestor, our Lingxi Sect will soar to new heights and relive its past glory. Those who wanted to harm us or have already harmed us will not escape!”
“You despicable disciples of the Great Sun Sect, you are all going to die!”
…
The high-level figures and disciples of the Lingxi Sect cried tears of joy and embraced each other, weeping.
“Wow, I didn’t expect the immortal from the Lingxi Sect to actually respond! The Great Sun Sect is in trouble now.”
“Hahaha, we’re saved! Our Golden Mountain Empire is saved! With the protection of an immortal, what can those evil spirits do to me?”
“What a load of crap, this Immortal Alliance. They didn’t help when we needed it. From now on, we’ll follow the Lingxi Sect!”
The cultivators who were watching discussed excitedly.
The people from the Great Sun Sect, hearing these discussions, all looked dejected, as if they had lost their parents.
The people from the Immortal Alliance were also embarrassed and wished they could find a hole to hide in.
“Don’t look like you’ve lost your parents. Do you believe everything she says?”
Mo Long turned his head and reminded the group from the Great Sun Sect.
“Sect Leader’s words are indeed wise. She must have failed the ancestral ceremony and is deliberately lying to scare everyone to prevent the Lingxi Sect from being destroyed.”
Someone analyzed with feigned intelligence.
“Sect Leader Zhong, you said you contacted the immortal ancestor of the Lingxi Sect. Where is the evidence? You’re not lying just to save your own life, are you? I, Mo Long, am not a three-year-old child and can’t be easily deceived.”
Mo Long questioned Zhong Qin calmly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll Shatter the space barrier now and let you witness the immortal of our Lingxi Sect.”
Zhong Qin said, gasping for breath. She then forced herself to appear spirited and pleaded in a certain direction, “Brother Yu, could I trouble you to open the spatial barrier of this place for us?”
Everyone followed her gaze and saw more than ten people standing in that direction. They were all from the Ding family, one of the ten great Immortal Families in the Cultivation World.
“Sect Leader, since Zhong Qin dares to make such a confident request, this matter is very likely true. Otherwise, once the Ding family breaks the spatial barrier, won’t she be slapping herself in the face?”
“Yes, as you yourself said, it’s better to be safe than sorry. We can’t just sit here and wait for death. We need to find a way to stop them.”
“I suggest we act directly. As long as we kill that Zhong Qin, the Ding family won’t interfere.”
“Good idea. Ding Yao, the grandson of the Ding family leader, fancies Zhong Qin’s Immortal bloodline, which is why the two forces are close. If we kill her, the Ding family will naturally stop interfering.”
The faces of the people from the Great Sun Sect changed dramatically, and they hurriedly reminded Mo Long.
“Don’t panic. Just wait and watch the show. Ding Yao has been pursuing Zhong Qin for so long but has never succeeded. Now is the time to take advantage of her weakness. How could he agree so easily?”
Mo Long, however, folded his arms and sneered.
…
“So she wants to use someone else’s strength to break the spatial barrier.”
Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling, who were secretly observing, exchanged glances, their faces revealing understanding.
“Your plan is probably going to fall through.”
Cheng Hong Ling teased.
“Don’t panic. Didn’t you see how calm that Mo Long was? There must be something more going on.”
Qi Huang replied confidently.
What happened next truly exceeded everyone’s expectations. The middle-aged man leading the Ding family did not respond to Zhong Qin. Instead, he stood there motionlessly.
“Brother Ding? Brother Ding? Didn’t you hear me? Please use your Ding family’s Immortal Tablet to break this spatial barrier for us. The Lingxi Sect will surely remember your kindness.”
Zhong Qin pleaded again, unwilling to give up.
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t.”
The middle-aged man leading the Ding family shook his head. He was Ding Yao, the grandson of the Ding family leader, and one of Zhong Qin’s suitors.
“…”
Zhong Qin’s mature and pretty face showed disbelief. She had no idea what was happening.
“What’s wrong with this Ding Yao? Isn’t he that suitor of Zhong Qin? How could he bear to refuse?”
The onlookers also looked at each other in confusion.
“Why are you going back on your word? Didn’t you promise me before?”
Zhong Qin recovered and asked excitedly.
“I’m sorry, as you know, to use the Immortal Tablet to Shatter the space barrier, one needs the vital blood of a Heavenly Punishment Realm expert. My grandfather is old, and as a junior, I really can’t bear to see him risk himself again.”
Ding Yao prevaricated.
If that’s the case, why did you agree to me back then? Isn’t this going back on your word?
Zhong Qin gnashed her teeth and asked. Filial piety is not an excuse for lying.
Ding Yao did not speak again, but looked at Zhong Qin coldly. The meaning was clear.
I didn’t expect this Ding Yao to be such a filial son!
The lapdog who always did what she said is no longer licking her. Zhong Qin must be dumbfounded!
A man should be like this. This Ding Yao is truly a model for us.
Some onlookers whispered.
What do you want me to do to help?
Zhong Qin asked helplessly.
How about marrying me? My grandfather said that if you are willing to marry me and have children for the Ding family, it won’t be a great deal for him to expend some vital blood for his granddaughter-in-law.
Ding Yao set his condition.
You are taking advantage of my weakness!
Zhong Qin said, her delicate chest trembling with anger.
Whether you agree or not is up to you.
Ding Yao said lazily.
Zhong Qin’s teeth gnashed, and she fell into a difficult choice for a moment.
It seems that this Ding Yao is not filial, but wants to take advantage of her weakness and raise the price.
Haha, this Zhong Qin is also pitiful. She thought the other party was a lapdog, but who knew he was a hungry wolf that devours people without spitting out the bones.
You don’t want to think about it. How could the grandson of the leader of an Immortal Family be a lapdog?
The onlookers began to mock again. Anyway, they were certain that the Immortal Alliance could protect them, so they were all here with the mentality of watching a show.
How shameless!
Cheng Hong Ling, who was secretly observing, cursed.
Zhong Qin looked around at all the familiar faces. She gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, as long as you…”
“You said that for real?”
Ding Yao was overjoyed. “In that case, I’ll immediately ask my grandfather to activate the Immortal Tablet.”
“Zhong Qin, aren’t you always so proud? Why did you agree so easily? What’s the difference between this and being a prostitute?”
Mo Long, however, couldn’t stay calm and directly cursed.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded.
“Fellow Daoists, I am Elder Zou Zhen of the Immortal Alliance. I have Elder Wei’s oral order that no one shall help the Lingxi Sect Shatter the spatial barrier today.”
Someone claiming to be an elder of the Immortal Alliance shouted loudly.
The scene fell into deathly silence, followed by a clamor of protests.
“Why? Why is the Immortal Alliance doing this? Isn’t this helping the wicked?”
“Yes, if the Immortal Alliance doesn’t help, fine, but now they’re stopping the Lingxi Sect from summoning their ancestors. Do they have a grudge against us?”
“What a load of crap, Immortal Alliance. They are less than beasts.”
The people of the Golden Mountain Empire cursed angrily.
“The Immortal Alliance has received reliable news that the Teleportation Gate of those foreign evil spirits leads to the Immortal Realm. If you are allowed to Shatter the spatial barrier at will, who knows if it will attract more evil spirits?”
That Elder Zou explained lazily.
“That’s just sophistry. If there were really so many evil spirits, they would have come out of that Teleportation Gate long ago.”
Cheng Hong Ling pouted disdainfully.
“It seems that the Immortal Alliance of Kaiyuan Star is no less than that of Lishui Star. This Immortal Elder needs to eliminate harm for the people.”
Qi Huang sneered repeatedly. Just as she was about to act, her Spiritual Sense suddenly detected a figure rapidly approaching the Lingxi Sect. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was that Human-Demon Level Evil General.
“Now that’s a real show.”
Qi Huang immediately sat back down.
