Chapter 132: 131, Argument on the Heavenly Tower (Seventh Update, Please Subscribe)
The people hiding along the road peeked through windows and door cracks to witness the scene, each deeply shaken, but upon seeing a Kao Shan Sect elder being burned to death, they felt a bit glad in their hearts.
The mother of the little girl in the inn rushed out, crying as she hugged the girl tightly.
"Duoduo, you scared Mommy to death."
"Mommy, Duoduo is scared!"
The girl was held tightly by her mother, tears streaming down like rain.
Wen Ping glanced at them, then walked over, squatted down, and used his hand to wipe the little girl’s tears, saying, "Your name is Duoduo, huh? The bad guy has been taken away by the Fire God who specifically punishes bad people. Don’t cry, the Fire God will always be Duoduo’s guardian."
The two- or three-year-old girl blinked her tear-filled eyes and nodded, "Hm, Duoduo won’t cry. With the Fire God protecting Duoduo."
"Thank you, Sect Leader Wen."
The girl’s mother knelt down while holding the girl.
Wen Ping raised his hand to help her up, and just then, a person suddenly opened the door and spat thickly in the direction where Li Yue lay.
"Bah, deserves to die!"
Once one person did it, a second and third followed suit.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "What a load of crap Hundred Sects Alliance, Sect Leader Wen is upright, brave, handsome, and fierce, how could he be a traitor? How could the Martial Arts Assembly be for financial gain? It’s these self-proclaimed noblemen who do all the despicable things, using such a small girl as a shield."
"Exactly, the Hundred Sects Alliance and Kao Shan Sect clearly don’t want us to go to the Martial Arts Assembly, they don’t want us to become stronger, while Sect Leader Wen is so good to us in Cangwu City, yet he has to bear the slander and infamy from the Hundred Sects Alliance. What kind of world is this?"
"Damn it, I’m not hiding anymore, brothers, if you have any guts, follow me to the Martial Arts Assembly. When the Hundred Sects Alliance comes to punish us, I’ll be the first to fight them."
...
For a moment, the whole street was excited.
At the same time, Wen Ping heard a voice by his ear, "Host, attraction has exploded!"
...
At the foot of Yunlan Mountain, although Yang Xi hadn’t seen the scene of Li Yue being killed, she witnessed the death of people from the Hundred Sects Alliance clearly. Upon hearing the shouts coming from Qing Shui Street, she knew the matter had ended and finally relaxed.
"Finally saved."
She definitely didn’t want to be taken back; Yang Lele had progressed so much at the Immortal Sect, she wouldn’t let Yang Lele pull further away from her.
But after relaxing, looking at the pile of ashes in the alley, she was speechless for a long time.
This scene completely refreshed her worldview.
Weapons, fists, hidden weapons... what is this flame?
And upon seeing Yang Lele and the others not surprised, rather very... very normal, Yang Xi was even more bewildered.
"Lele, what’s killed the 13th realm?"
Yang Lele smiled and replied, "Fire Dragon Skill, it’s a trial reward from the sect. If you want to learn, you can learn it after joining the Immortal Sect."
"Really?"
Yang Xi immediately beamed with delight.
Yang Lele responded, "Of course, would I lie to you?"
Yang Xi immediately raised her hand and said, "Sect Leader, I want to join the sect!"
At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted her.
This person was Zhao Qing, who had been silent all along.
"The Immortal Sect doesn’t take flower vases, how old are you?"
"Fifteen."
"The Immortal Sect doesn’t accept anyone below the Body Refining Sixth Layer at fifteen."
"I’m at the Body Refining Sixth Layer."
"Uh... the entry fee is a thousand gold, if you don’t have it, hurry up and leave!"
"I have it!"
Saying this, Yang Xi hurriedly rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a stack of gold tickets.
"That’s not enough, there’s no place to stay."
"I can sleep anywhere."
"Only straw huts."
"That’s fine, I quite like straw huts."
...
Wen Ping returned to the foot of the mountain, looked at Zhao Qing who was so "concerned" about new disciples, and smiled helplessly.
Again, seeing Yang Lele with a silly grin, he was speechless.
Still smiling!
This dog food is enough to fill me!
Then, he looked at the crowd rushing towards him and said, "Line up properly, one by one."
...
Ascend to Heaven Tower.
Ascend to Heaven Tower is a famous tall building in East City. Although the food here isn’t as famous as Bai Feng Pavilion’s, the height of the Qiong Building is unparalleled in East City. Standing atop the highest floor, one can see the magnificent beauty of Cangwu City. Today, the highest floor has been booked by Mo Lin, and Xiang Yi wasn’t eager to return to Kao Shan Sect, so he accompanied Mo Lin in drinking sullenly.
Knock knock knock!
The sound of knocking on the door rang.
"Come in!"
Upon hearing Mo Lin’s words, three people walked into the room.
All three knelt simultaneously, "Sir, it’s not good. Elder Li Yue and the others all died on Qing Shui Street, no bones remain."
Snap!
The cup in Mo Lin’s hand was immediately crushed.
Xiang Yi stepped forward, grabbed one of them and interrogated, "What’s going on? Weren’t you told not to approach Yunlan Mountain?"
The person was so scared that they immediately responded, "Elder, it was Yang Lele from the Yang Family. He lured Yang Xi towards Immortal Sect. Only then did Li Yue and the others chase after them."
"Yang Xi went to Immortal Sect!"
Xiang Yi casually threw the person aside and punched the window, her mind instantly in chaos.
Her plan was to use the people of Cangwu City, manipulate rumors to first ruin Immortal Sect’s reputation and then dismantle it step by step. But her plan failed, and instead, she lost a genius disciple, whom they had been contacting for a long time.
Xiang Yi immediately smashed her cup and cursed, "Damn it!"
As Xiang Yi’s words fell, the kneeling person spoke again, "Sir, after Elder Li Yue and the others died, Qing Shui Street and several nearby streets were flooded with people rushing towards Yunlan Mountain, we couldn’t stop them."
Upon hearing this statement, Xiang Yi’s expression instantly froze, she fiercely glared at the speaker, "Can’t you say everything in one go?"
Meanwhile, hearing this news, Mo Lin was thoroughly enraged, "Elder Xiang, didn’t you say that repeated lies would become truth? Why is it still like this?"
Xiang Yi quickly replied, "I don’t know why it’s like this either, shouting at me won’t help."
To be honest, she used the tactics of bewitching minds to dismantle much of Immortal Sect’s strength before, turning black into white and white into black, and transferred them to Kao Shan Sect.
Tried and true!
Humans, especially common people, when they can’t see this world clearly, they accept whatever answer comes. And when a more reasonable answer arrives, they still accept it,
Even if that answer is completely opposite to the original, as long as it’s more reasonable, people will believe the next answer.
Even if people near the Immortal Sect don’t believe, shouldn’t they suddenly change?
Aren’t they afraid of the Hundred Sects Alliance and Kao Shan Sect?
While Xiang Yi was pondering, Mo Lin spoke, "Elder Xiang, your plan is really great, having the last cultivator of 13th realm under my command killed and still no suppression of the Martial Arts Assembly. I truly believed your nonsense."
A frustrated Xiang Yi retorted defiantly, "Then why don’t you come up with a solution? Blaming me when the plan failed, didn’t Kao Shan Sect also lose a 13th realm?"
