Chapter 185 Challenge from Hua Qiyue!

The Heaven Sect disciples all changed their faces and looked at the male disciple who fell to the ground with hatred. They all blamed him for ruining the sect’s public image in front of everyone.

Sect Leader Hong snorted, her face sullen, and then slammed her big sleeves and walked toward the outside.

“I didn’t expect the Heaven Sect to be so arrogant.” A cold voice sounded and broke the silence here.

It was Ouyang Youche.

Unexpectedly, he was present also. Hua Qiyue nodded to him. The gentleman’s friendship was as pure as water, and Ouyang Youche struck her as a very noble man.

“True, Heaven Sect has always been arrogant. But for the threat of Gnawing Devils Sect, I am afraid they will not have the intention of allying.” Ji Feng said flatly.

Several other Qi Artists also sneered.

“Looking at it now, isn’t that the case? If Sect Leader Hong really has the confidence of winning the princess, do you think she will retreat? Running away like a dog?” Ji Jing snorted. Old as she might be, Ji Jing could read that old woman’s mind at a glance.

All the Qi Artists suddenly realized, and they all nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, if she can win, I am afraid she will not let it go just like that.” Sect Leader Hong door is a person who believes in tit for tat. When she showed up, she immediately came at the princess!”

“True, that old woman is not the real deal. I guess she’s just weaker than the princess.”

Between the discussion, everyone respected Hua Qiyue even more.

A cold smile appeared on Ouyang Youche’s handsome face. “Prince Nan, the princess is your future fiancee. When your fiancee was bullied, you did nothing. How disappointing!”

Everyone was caught off guard. They didn’t expect Ouyang Youche to challenge Yun Shimo publicly, and everyone agreed with Ouyang Youche. After all, Hua Qiyue was Prince Nan’s fiancee. While his fiancee was bullied, Yun Shimo didn’t do a damn thing.

If they were someone else, they would have already beat Sect Leader Hong up.

However, Yun Shimo just frowned and did not speak.

“House Master Ouyang, you should not listen to the rumors. People like to gossip about the prince and me between drinks. The rumors become more and more outrageous. In fact, the prince and I are just ordinary friends.”

Hua Qiyue looked at the silent Yun Shimo and said blandly.

Everyone in the room thought things between Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo were weird because they had all heard that Yun Shimo did not refuse Princess Qianyang’s proposal.

Eyebrows knitted, Ji Jing was going to defend Hua Qiyue, but was stopped by Ji Feng. He gently shook his head at her, indicating that she should not meddle with someone else’s business.

Huangfu Xuan’s heart leaped and his face became a bit hot. In that case, Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo were not engaged. Then, would he have a chance?

“Well, let’s sit down and discuss the layout after half a month.” Hua Qiyue said blankly. She didn’t want to talk about the matters between Yun Shimo and her publicly.

Although on the surface, she looked calm, she still felt a fit of pain welling up from her heart.

She was indeed very disappointed in Yun Shimo. Although she wanted to trust him, she found it hard to forgive him at the thought of him meeting Princess Qianyang in the middle of the night.

If she did not remember her previous life and did not understand the pain and serious consequences of true betrayal, she may trust him under her wishful thinking.

Then again, there was no ifs.

Hua Qiyue didn’t want to dwell on it anymore. She told them about her lethal skill and then discussed with everyone about the layout after half a month.

There were about 30 people in the temple, and everyone had their own opinions.

Three days later, representatives of all the legitimate sects came. Of course, some representatives encountered the attack from Gnawing Devils Sect, or the ones from the main leaders in the Magic Beasts Forest, so they failed to arrive on time.

However, this time, in total, there were about 100 attendees, all of whom were very outstanding Qi Artists. Moreover, their levels were between the Dragon Diagram and Cultivation Dimension.

Also, some sect leaders showed up by themselves. In the first place, they kind of doubted Hua Qiyue’s capability. However, when seeing her in front of their own eyes and after hearing her account of her lethal skill, everyone was impressed by her and respected her.

The plan was settled, and everyone picked up speed to cultivate. Yun Shimo did not have the time to “comfort” Hua Qiyue and seized every minute to practice his alchemy in the tower.

In less than half a month, a storm was coming.

—

On the top of Gnawing Devils Sect’s back hill, Chou Tianhen was bathed in the morning breeze and golden sunshine. In front of him, there was a stele with three words “Matchless Saint Cave” on it.

Under the golden sunshine, the three black characters were shimmering with a strange light.

The two disciples standing at the entrance of the hole respectfully bowed to Chou Tianhen. “Greetings to the deputy leader.”

“Well, when will the leader come out?”

“About half a month later.” One of the disciples replied respectfully.

Chou Tianhen frowned. He was not capable enough, otherwise, he would have headed to the capital and sought his revenge for the things Hua Qiyue did to him.

Now, he could only wait until the leader came out of the practice, and requested that the leader killed Hua Qiyue because that woman was the key person of the coming battle.

Although Chou Tianhen was a warrior in the Jianghu world, he deeply understood that if she could keep Yun Shimo and the Crown Prince around her, she wouldn’t be that easy to handle. He heard that she had magical skills and many useful herbs.

That meant that the woman had a strong background. However, starting from two months ago, Gnawing Devils Sect hadn’t gotten anything on Hua Qiyue, or anything useful about those herbs.

Ten thousand years ago, all herbs were destroyed during the battle between Qi Artists and the Tribe of Evil. Now, knowing that Hua Qiyue suddenly owned those medicine, he had to take the first move.

As the saying went: Kill the leader first. Chou Tianhen believed that she was definitely a great character, not to mention the Drunken Flower Fan in her hand.

“What will happen in the next half month?”

Chou Tianhen felt restless, pacing back and forth in front of the cave. Suddenly, someone rushed uphill from the mountain foot.

The man came to the front of Chou Tianhen and reported respectfully. “Deputy leader, my source reported to me that Hua Qiyue has driven all the Heaven Sect disciples away.”

Chou Tianhen’s eyes lit up and he chuckled. “What an idiot! That Hua Qiyue, foolish! Haha, Heaven Sect is really capable, but she drove them away, haha…”

The man hesitated, seeing Chou Tianhen being so proud. “Deputy leader, he also reported that…”

“Say it!” Chou Tianhen felt much better and didn’t seem anxious anymore.

He suddenly felt that Hua Qiyue was a blockhead because Sect Leader Hong was a Qi Artist at the medium level of Moon Eclipse. Losing such a Qi Artist was a loss to the alliance.

“Hua Qiyue spread the word that she’d challenge you seven days later in front of the Magic Beasts Forest… and if… if the deputy leader doesn’t show up, you’ll be as stupid and slow as a turtle!”

The man carefully told Hua Qiyue’s words one by one.

“Bastard!” When had Chou Tianhen been humiliated by people like this? Now, he even wanted to throw the disciple in front of him off the cliff. However, he just sneered. “Didn’t Hua Qiyue try to ally with all other orthodox sects to fight us Gnawing Devils Sect? How many people are in their alliance now?

“Yes. Now there are 123 people in total, including all disciples from those sects, such as Lotte Sect, Eclipse Sect… and Ouyang Youche also joined, and the Crown Prince and his royal Qi Artists. The most capable one among them is Yun Shimo, who’s at the medium level of Moon Eclipse. The others are all lower than that level. If the leader comes out of his practice and brings the 10 Soul Puppets, we’ll surely win!”

The disciple said respectfully.

Listening to that, Chou Tianhen laughed. “The most capable one is at the medium level of Moon Eclipse? Hahaha, in this case, we don’t have to wait for the leader to come out. This time, we will kill Hua Qiyue and her company.”

The disciple was confused. Last time, Hua Qiyue sent him flying for hundred miles away with that Drunken Flower Fan, and he even broke his legs. Now, he still had trouble keeping his footing. Now, he declared that he’d destroy Hua Qiyue and all her people?

Hua Qiyue had more than one hundred more partners from the alliance!

That time, Chou Tianhen failed to handle when Hua Qiyue struck alone. Now, he actually wanted to kill all of Hua Qiyue’s followers? It was unbelievable, right?

Nevertheless, Chou Tianhen smiled proudly. “Do you forget that I also own 10 Soul Puppets? Haha, a Soul Puppet is twice more capable than a Qi Artist at the same level. And it’s immortal and bullet-proof!”

Chou Tianhen explained, and the two disciples suddenly realized, but immediately they shook their heads. “Do you forget Hua Qiyue has the Drunken Flower Fan?”

“Hmph, a Soul Puppet has a strong suction as well. The Drunken Flower Fan can’t cope with all of them. No divine weapon can deal with a Soul Puppet at the great completeness of Cultivation Dimension. That’s why our sect lay low for so many years to refine those Soul Puppets, just to unify the world!”

Chou Tianhen chuckled. Although these were secrets in the sect, now, he felt pointless to keep them secret anymore.

Both disciples were surprised and widened their eyes. If Gnawing Devils Sect could unify the world, then their disciples would naturally have all the resources they wanted.

Thus, Chou Tianhen decided not to wait any longer. Anyway, he was the deputy leader. When the leader was in a practice session, he shouldn’t wait anymore. As the deputy leader of Gnawing Devils Sect and a real man, he would lose face if she shrank away from a woman’s challenge.

If people found out, everyone would say that Chou Tianhen feared a woman.

The two disciples didn’t collect themselves until Chou Tianhen disappeared from their sights.

“Do you think we should inform the leader about this?”

“Let’ not. Now the leader is practicing, we shouldn’t disturb him even if the sky falls!” Another disciple sounded serious.

“But… if the deputy leader fails…” Another disciple hesitated.

“The deputy leader will not be so unreliable, and the leader handed over all the affairs to the deputy leader before he went to practice. He must have trusted the deputy leader.”

“You are wrong, the deputy leader got all of this because he’s one of his relatives!”

The disciple sounded timid. However, he didn’t dare to gossip more for fear of what the leader might do to him.

Anyway, the deputy leader would kill Hua Qiyue, and they could not have stopped him.

Thus, Chou Tianhen set off with 10 Soul Puppets, five seniors, and 10 disciples to witness what Hua Qiyue could do.
