Volume 2, Chapter 113 – It’s Time to Repay Your Debt, Wu (Part 2)

Honghua Sect, the largest immortal sect in Huangtian County, possessed over a hundred formal disciples and three to four hundred outer disciples. Its strength was absolutely at the bottom tier among county-level sects. Even so, the total population seeking shelter within the sect was nearly one hundred thousand, the vast majority being women. The Great Horror was the direct cause of this result.

A population of over a hundred thousand crammed into a small immortal sect, and with no need to worry about survival, every day seemed quite lively, especially in the central square, because there were many shops of various kinds surrounding it.

However, right at noon, a slender figure descended from the sky, landing gracefully on the ground. Immediately, a rich fragrance swept in all directions like the four winds, causing many nearby people to reveal traces of infatuation on their faces, because that was the fragrance belonging to Golden Fate Blossoms—no one could resist it.

But the next moment, these people fled in terror, because another dark shadow had already fallen spread-eagle to the ground, then let out pig-like screams of agony.

The arrivals were naturally Qi Huang and Wei Yi, whom she had subdued.

Qi Huang’s calf injury was very severe. Xiao Sha’s arrow had forcibly scraped away a large chunk of flesh and skin, forming a deep bloody groove. Combined with not properly treating the wound these past few days, it was still faintly bleeding even now.

The moment Qi Huang’s foot touched the ground, she felt piercing pain like a drill, so she could only float to the top of a nearby large stone pillar to sit down. She knew that the people who should come would all arrive soon.

“Isn’t that Fairy Hongling? She seems to be injured!”

“Yeah, what’s wrong with Senior Wei on the ground?”

“I think Senior Wei must have encountered danger, and Fairy Hongling rescued him back.”

“That makes sense! I just wonder who did it—to actually be able to injure Fairy Hongling. I heard she’s already reached the Incarnation Realm.”

“What do you mean ‘heard’? Just now she descended from the sky, flying through the air—that’s an ability only Incarnation Realm mighty ones possess. Go out more, see more, walk around more, don’t be a frog at the bottom of a well.”

The surrounding people pointed and discussed, and more and more gathered to watch the excitement.

Qi Huang had been truly exhausted during this period, so she completely didn’t want to pay attention to those idle gossip. She minded her own business, sitting in meditation to rest her spirit. She didn’t go directly to find her main body because she felt this was her private matter—no need to implicate others.

“Junior Sister Hongling? What happened to your leg? What’s going on here?”

Not long after, the first person close to Qi Huang appeared—it was Senior Sister Ruan Lingyu.

Qi Huang opened her eyes and found Senior Sister Ruan Lingyu staring at her, beautiful eyes revealing deep worry.

“It’s nothing! I’ve been wandering outside these past few days and discovered someone in our sect wasn’t following the rules, so I conveniently dragged him back.”

Qi Huang originally didn’t want to respond, but ultimately her mouth betrayed her upright body as she briefly explained.

“Committing evil deeds? You’re referring to Senior Wei?”

Ruan Lingyu glanced at Wei Yi on the ground, groaning like a dead pig.

“Yeah! But he’s just a minion—the real culprit hasn’t arrived yet.”

Qi Huang didn’t want Ruan Lingyu to worry, so she tried to keep her tone as relaxed as possible.

“Who is the real culprit?”

Ruan Lingyu pondered for a moment before asking.

“Can’t say right now—if I say it, he’ll run away.”

After Qi Huang said this, she closed her beautiful eyes.

“Have you told Master about this matter?”

Ruan Lingyu continued to press, but got no response. Her heart was very worried, so she hurriedly ran back to Orchid Courtyard to notify Master and her fellow sisters.

More and more people gathered around, gradually attracting the attention of some high-ranking members. The real culprit would arrive soon.

Elder Wu, full name Wu He, was one of Honghua Sect’s five great elders, and also the oldest elder with the highest cultivation. Three years ago, he had already displayed Unity Realm strength, and his current specific realm was unknown to anyone.

“Wei Yi, what happened to you?”

Wu He saw his personal disciple’s miserable state and immediately rushed up to inquire.

“Master! Save me!”

Wei Yi said in unbearable pain. Three fingers on his right hand were broken, and after the initial numbness, it now hurt heart-rendingly. Combined with excessive blood loss, his entire person had lost all spirit and energy.

“Who injured you?”

Wu He asked through gritted teeth.

“It was her!”

Wei Yi looked at Qi Huang with venomous eyes. With his master backing him up, he naturally had confidence.

Wu He raised his head to look at Qi Huang atop the stone pillar, his eyes nearly spitting fire: “Cheng Hongling! I need an explanation.”

“Explanation? Don’t you know yourself?”

Qi Huang opened her beautiful eyes and questioned from her high position.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Wu He played dumb.

“Stop pretending. Wei Yi confessed everything—privately buying prohibited drugs, poisoning disciples, hiring assassins to kill. Any one of these crimes could ruin your reputation.”

Qi Huang said straight to the point.

Wu He’s face changed dramatically, then he looked at his disciple beside him.

Wei Yi had betrayed his master and guiltily lowered his head.

Wu He roughly understood what was happening. He pondered briefly, then without even breathing hard, he sophistically argued: “I don’t know what he told you, but you injured him this badly—I have reason to suspect you were using torture to extract a confession.”

“I knew you’d argue sophistically!”

Qi Huang smiled indifferently and said: “No matter, there’s plenty of time. Let’s wait for the Sect Master to arrive and slowly sort things out.”

“Fine!”

Wu He pretended to be calm, then stood in place waiting. However, as time passed, he appeared increasingly restless.

The reason was simple—Wu He, no matter how foolish, understood that his shameful deeds had been exposed. If he didn’t leave now to make arrangements, once everyone arrived, there would be no opportunity.

“No, my disciple is injured this badly—I must take him for treatment first!”

Wu He found an excuse and tried to slip away.

“You call this badly injured? Do you know how miserable Steward Hu is now?”

Qi Huang shook her head dismissively.

“What Executive Hu?”

Wu He gritted his teeth and continued playing dumb.

“What Steward Hu? The Steward Hu who left Honghua Sect three years ago for his disciple’s sake—you even injured him. Forgot so quickly? No matter, you’ll see him soon enough.”

A trace of mockery appeared on Qi Huang’s pretty face.

“That was his own doing! The entire Honghua Sect knows the cause and effect of that matter! I must take my disciple for treatment—I don’t have time to chat nonsense with you here.”

Hearing that Steward Hu was still alive, Wu He’s face became even uglier. He reached out to help his disciple.

“Without my permission, you can’t go anywhere.”

Qi Huang’s Divine Sense left her body and pressed down toward Wu He.

Wu He was completely unprepared. He only felt his entire body suddenly carrying an extra mountain. His knees went soft and he knelt down.

“Incarnation… Realm Divine Sense… pressure…”

Wu He struggled to spit out a few words, his right hand slowly reaching toward the treasured sword at his waist.

Seeing that the opponent could still move, Qi Huang continued to increase her Divine Sense pressure. This was currently her greatest asset.

Wu He’s body shuddered again, but his movements weren’t affected much. His hand also drew the long sword, then supported himself on the ground as he slowly stood up.

Qi Huang was secretly anxious, so she used all her Divine Sense, but the opponent seemed to have adapted. Although his movements were slow, they were exceptionally determined.

“Incarnation Realm Divine Sense pressure…”

Wu He stood up and moved his body, his bones making crackling sounds. He continued: “…is indeed terrifying, but if you’re hoping this alone can make me sit and wait for death, you’re thinking too much.”

Qi Huang no longer had confidence in certain victory in her heart, but today she would bring this person to justice no matter what. So she withdrew half her Divine Sense, transforming it into countless invisible arms extending from all directions, grasping the swords of all surrounding Honghua Sect disciples and drawing them out, then directing them to strangle Elder Wu.

Because there was no sunlight, the surrounding temperature was already low. Combined with the killing intent bursting forth from dozens of long swords, it made the spectators’ spines run cold as they retreated in terror.

Wu He wasn’t intimidated at all. He reached into his chest and pulled out a talisman paper, crushing it. A tornado appeared out of thin air, sweeping those countless treasured swords into it.

Qi Huang prepared to withdraw the swords but found the tornado’s suction was very strong—she simply couldn’t break free.

“This old man will experience today whether your Incarnation Realm cultivation has any substance!”

Wu He’s eyelids drooped, his face was like a corpse, and he pounced toward Qi Huang with no emotion whatsoever.
