"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Luluo, you’ve chosen a fine husband indeed!"
Not until True Person Bixin’s excited praise broke the silence did everyone at the scene come back to their senses. They looked at Ye Zhen, who was calm and composed, and then at the disarray of Qingluo Sect, each feeling a strange sensation.
For the first time!
For the first time in five hundred years, someone had successfully tamed the tiger’s whiskers of Tiannan Hua Family!
And such an event had occurred in their Qingluo Sect. From now on, the legends of Jianghu would not miss mentioning their sect.
At that moment, Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng of Qingluo Sect, looking at the chaotic scene, suddenly lost his anger and even felt a trace of relief.
Ye Zhen had won, and Luluo had stayed. His frustration was completely dispelled. In fact, deep down, Guoo Wanfeng never wanted his sect’s True Disciple to be chosen by the Tiannan Hua Family to become the Hundred Flowers Consort.
Especially after personally witnessing that the Direct Heir of the Huaa Clan practiced Water and Fire Dual Spiritual Power.
Since the Huaa Clan practiced Water and Fire Dual Spiritual Power, then the legend must be true.
Water and fire are incompatible, as it has always been, not to mention practicing both simultaneously. Normally, practicing Water and Fire Dual Spiritual Power would only result in crippling or killing oneself.
But the Tiannan Hua Family had succeeded.
The legends of Jianghu say that water is yin and fire is yang. The most crucial secret technique of the Huaa Clan in practicing Water and Fire Dual Spiritual Power is the Yin Yang Balance, which is also tied to women.
It is said that the Huaa Clan has a special secret technique that, by mating with a female martial artist of higher cultivation who is a virgin, can cultivate a unique power that balances yin and yang, or water and fire, which is the crucial secret for their ability to practice Dual Spiritual Power.
The Tiannan Hua Family, being wealthy and influential, finds it easy to find and nurture perfect virgins of low realms within the family.
But the Spirit Transformation Realm is a major barrier, and female martial artists are rare to begin with, let alone those who are young, in the Spirit Transformation Realm, and virgins. Such female martial artists who meet all these conditions are rare in the entire world, not just in the Huaa Clan.
Thus, there is the Huaa Family’s centennial selection of consorts, and the chosen Hundred Flowers Consorts are all for the Huaa Clan’s direct heirs to practice their techniques.
It is said they are treated very well, almost like royal consorts, but after being used as cauldrons in practices, these girls often age rapidly and die within a decade or so.
Of course, all these are just legends.
But sometimes, legends often turn out to be true, and if given a choice, Guoo Wanfeng would not want the young girls of his sect to become those hidden Hundred Flowers Consorts.
"Zheng Fuyun, I think you and Luluo should marry soon. Why not make it tomorrow instead of choosing another day? What do you think?"
True Person Bixin issued the order directly, not wanting her disciple to live in fear anymore.
Ye Zhen, whose back was still wet with cold sweat, was once again shocked into a cold sweat.
"What, you don’t want to?" True Person Bixin was somewhat displeased.
"No, it’s not that..."
Ye Zhen was a bit flustered. It was not a good time to agree, and even less so to refuse in such a public setting. Since he had become a shield, he might as well do it perfectly.
Suddenly, when Ye Zhen turned his head in confusion, he saw Wen Tianyu in the distance staring at him with a venomous gaze, his eyes instantly filling with a tangible Killing Qi.
"True Person Bixin, there’s still one thing left to do. Let’s talk about marriage after that!"
Suddenly, the Killing Qi around Ye Zhen condensed into a tangible straight line, unmistakably aimed at Wen Tianyu in the distance, locking onto him.
The crowd was initially startled by Ye Zhen’s Killing Qi, then they understood his intention; Ye Zhen was aiming to deal with the shameless scum, Wen Tianyu.
"What... what... what are you going to do?"
Locked on by Ye Zhen’s Killing Qi, Wen Tianyu was immediately terrified.
Who was Ye Zhen?
He was the man who had struck him down in a single move, a man who could evenly match with Young Master Huaa Wushuang of the Tiannan Hua Family, who had even defeated a Third Stage of the Soul Sea Realm martial artist.
If it weren’t for Ye Zhen’s Qi locking onto him, Wen Tianyu would have thought of running away.
Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng’s face of Qingluo Sect looked rather unpleasant. Ye Zhen’s action was somewhat a slap in the face of their Qingluo Sect.
Due to certain reasons, Wen Tianyu had not yet been expelled from Qingluo Sect, so he remained their disciple.
Ye Zhen now blatantly expressing his intention to kill Wen Tianyu was like wanting to kill their sect’s disciple in their headquarters. If he really did so, it would be a face-slapping moment for the Qingluo Sect elders.
No one would tolerate such an act.
If Ye Zhen insisted on doing it, there would only be one outcome: becoming enemies with the entire Qingluo Sect!
This is what a Sect is!
It’s like in a big family, where it’s acceptable to punish one’s own children however you see fit, even to death, as it’s considered family discipline. But if an outsider dares to slap them, that means making enemies with the whole family!
"Zheng Fuyun, from now on, if you dare touch a single hair on any disciple of my Qingluo Sect, I, Law Enforcement Elder Xie Lvu, will definitely kill you on the spot!" Law Enforcement Elder Xie Lvu said grimly.
However, by saying this, no one would accuse him of protecting the scum Wen Tianyu, but rather, of defending the interests of the entire sect.
"Who said I wanted to kill Wen Tianyu! Killing a disciple of your Qingluo Sect while being in Qingluo Sect, unless my brain was waterlogged!" Ye Zhen said.
Hearing this, Wen Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief. He was determined, as long as the sect did not formally expel him, he would hide within the sect, not giving Ye Zhen even a sliver of a chance to kill him.
"I will not kill, but Wen Tianyu, that shameless scum, must die! Of course, someone else will do the killing!"
"Alright, you’ll know soon enough. I’ll go see Luluo first; she must be very happy by now," Ye Zhen said and immediately flew towards the unnamed peak, leaving the crowd utterly baffled.
The one to kill Wen Tianyu, someone else?
Who could that be?
True Master Tianzhu’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed; he just couldn’t figure out who that person could be.
In Qingluo Sect, there were only a few disciples capable of killing Wen Tianyu, but those few were not fools. Why would they help Ye Zhen?
A group of elders from the Qingluo Sect looked at each other, none able to decipher the mystery at hand.
Only in the eyes of Qingluo Sect Leader Guo Wanfeng flickered a hint of deep concern. He had observed Ye Zhen’s actions within the Qingluo Sect, always planning thoroughly before making a move, never missing the mark.
Wen Tianyu was in danger!
But where was the danger coming from?
"Big Cousin!"
In the attic, Luluo gazed steadily at Ye Zhen who had just entered, her eyes tender as water.
Ye Zhen paused, sensing something off in her gaze. However, he had to admit, this version of Luluo was even more charming and beautiful.
"Big Cousin, we...."
Before Luluo could finish, Ye Zhen casually tossed a dark object her way, eliciting a cry of surprise from her.
"What is this?"
"Put it on, then do as I say!" Ye Zhen quickly approached Luluo and whispered instructions.
"Alright, disperse. The Spiritual Medicines in the Mountain Gate have suffered severe damage. Hurry and lead the disciples to repair the Spiritual Medicines and restore the Medicine Field to minimize losses!"
After a moment of shock, Qingluo Sect Leader Guo Wanfeng directly issued a command, "In particular, those more than a hundred medicinal herbs with a century’s age should be personally tended to by the elders. Do not be careless, as the Spiritual Medicines are the foundation of our Qingluo Sect!"
"Yes, we will honor the Sect Leader’s decree!"
"Wen Tianyu, you shameless villain! You’ve tried to trap me over and over again. Now, dare you face me in a fair fight!" Just as the crowd responded, an intensely spirited voice sounded, and immediately after, Luluo’s green silhouette flew down from an unknown peak.
While talking, the Black Jade Whip in Luluo’s hand lashed out, creating a loud snap and pointing directly at Wen Tianyu.
"Wen Tianyu, you scum, don’t tell me you lack even the courage to fight me now?"
"Shameless scum indeed, a cowardly one at that! Wen Tianyu, on behalf of all the sisters of Qingluo Sect, I despise you!"
It was at this moment, Wen Tianyu, showered in scathing insults from Luluo, finally snapped, his eyes nearly popping out of his head from rage.
Ye Zhen bullying and insulting him was one thing, but Luluo, a woman just stepping into the First Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, daring to scold him like this?
"You bitch, seeking death! Let’s fight then; true, I couldn’t beat Zheng Fuyun, but I refuse to believe I can’t defeat you, a little bitch!"
In speaking, Wen Tianyu’s pent-up wrath and grievances over several days erupted at this moment.
He had endured for too long. He had wanted to vent before but had no target. Now that Luluo came at him, he found his outlet.
With a roar, Wen Tianyu stepped forward, his Sword Gang stretching over ten yards like a Flood Dragon, carrying his rage and spiritual power, charged at Luluo.
"Luluo, be careful!"
The Qingluo Sect’s elders, caught off guard by this scene, finally reacted. True Persons Bixin and Cangmu simultaneously cried out in alarm.
Even True Master Tianzhu and Law Enforcement Elder Xie Lvu were taken aback. Could this really be the person Ye Zhen mentioned as capable of slaying Wen Tianyu? This made no sense.
After all, they knew too well the gap between Luluo and Wen Tianyu’s strengths. Even two Luluos might not be capable of defeating Wen Tianyu.
"Hmph, Wen Tianyu, today is the day this shameless scum dies!"
With a sharp cry, Luluo turned into a green shadow charging towards Wen Tianyu.
The elders of Qingluo Sect all furrowed their brows, seeing the situation; it seemed Luluo was about to suffer greatly from this first exchange.
However, the unexpected occurred in that instant.
Facing the full power of Wen Tianyu’s strike, Luluo didn’t dodge or flee, merely twisting her body slightly and taking his Sword Gang head-on with her chest, letting it strike her directly.
Wen Tianyu’s expression froze, his face paling as he suddenly realized, just a few days ago, Ye Zhen had used the very same move to neatly topple him!
"Not good!"
Almost simultaneously, a shimmering Guardian Spirit Light surged around Luluo! The Black Jade Whip in her hand, like a swift Spirit Snake, lashed out.
Wen Tianyu’s Sword Gang fiercely struck Luluo’s chest, the Guardian Spirit Light shining brightly, blocking the Sword Gang for a moment; Luluo’s clothes over her chest shredded, revealing a dark Mid-grade Treasure Armor underneath. The formidable Sword Gang instantly extinguished.
Though the Sword Gang was blocked, its force was real, sending Luluo flying backward. Almost at the same time, Luluo’s remarkable spiritual power erupted from the Black Jade Whip.
The Black Jade Whip, having lashed out, coiled around Wen Tianyu’s neck and, seizing the moment to take flight, her spiritual power burst forth, sending his head flying, soaring through the air along with Luluo.
In the air, Wen Tianyu’s flying head bore eyes filled with horror and... reluctance!
"I’m just going to die like this..."
"Mid-grade Treasure Armor?"
"It’s actually Mid-grade Treasure Armor?"
At that moment, a collective gasp of astonishment from the Qingluo Sect elders filled the air, only True Master Tianzhu and Law Enforcement Elder Xie Lvu, witnessing Wen Tianyu’s flying head, felt their hearts plummet into an abyss, sinking endlessly...
A complete defeat....(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
