Volume 12, Chapter 803 – I’ll Even Kill an Immortal for You

Qi Huang’s sudden, uncharacteristic move completely stunned everyone inside and outside the main hall. One by one, their smiles froze on their faces, as though they’d been struck by a petrification spell.

Cao Yin’s Humanly Soul doppelgänger had never dropped his guard. So the moment something seemed off, he stood up from his chair, face full of vigilance.

The atmosphere inside and outside the hall plunged into a deathly silence. The tension became terrifyingly strange.

Seeing Qi Huang reveal her true colors, Cheng Hongling didn’t bother pretending anymore either. She reached up and removed her bridal veil as well.

“Um… w-wife… what are you doing? Come now, be good and put that red veil back on.”

Cao Yang pleaded awkwardly.

“To think that even after we’ve both lifted our veils, you’re still clinging to a shred of hope. Pathetic.”

Qi Huang mocked him with scorn.

“You… what do you mean?”

Cao Yang stammered as he backed away.

“What do I mean? You want to marry us? You’re not even qualified.”

Qi Huang said bluntly.

“What, you’re regretting this now? Take a good look at who’s beside me. Do you want to die?”

Cao Meng looked toward the Humanly Soul doppelgänger of Cao Yin standing beside him.

“She’s right. Even if you don’t care about your own life, you should at least think about your relatives and friends.”

Cao Hui reminded coldly.

“You’d best put that veil back on. If you lift it again, I’ll lift the skullcap off one of your relatives.”

Cao Yin’s Humanly Soul doppelgänger stepped forward, issuing the threat. He hadn’t made a move yet because he still didn’t want to lose such an exceptional bride.

At that very moment, a horrifying Divine Sense surged down from the spatial rift overhead. The overwhelming pressure made everyone in and around the Lü residence tremble. One by one, they stepped back in fear.

“Die!”

Qi Huang calmly raised a slender finger, pointing directly at Cao Yin’s Human Soul doppelgänger.

“You’ve got a lot of nerve…”

Cao Yin’s Human Soul doppelgänger was enraged and prepared to give a stern warning.

“Self-destruct your Sea of Consciousness.”

But right then, Qi Huang activated her mental control ability and issued the command via mental transmission.

Cao Yin suddenly felt disoriented, and in the next moment, it was as if Qi Huang were his parents, he had no will to question her words at all.

Without hesitation, Cao Yin directed his soul into his Sea of Consciousness and began the process of self-destruction.

BOOM!

A split second later, Cao Yin’s large head exploded like a watermelon. Red and white matter splattered everywhere. His headless body toppled stiffly to the ground.

Not only that, at the rift in the sky, the Vigor Soul doppelgänger of Cao Yin experienced the same thing. His head exploded without warning, his death senseless and abrupt.

A person’s Life Soul is composed of the Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Souls, none can be missing. Even for immortals, this rule holds true.

Within the spatial rift, the real Cao Yin suffered a sudden explosion of one corporeal soul and one ethereal soul. Before he could even react, his Life Soul disintegrated entirely, and his body’s vitality extinguished at the same time.

Cao Yin’s stunned expression froze on his face. Without the support of his Divine Sense, his body floated gently like a cold piece of driftwood through the vastness of the Immortal Realm.

Thus, just like that, a fully-fledged master-level immortal was killed by Qi Huang in cold blood.

“Ahhh!”

Only now did the people in and around the Cao household react. Panic-stricken, they scattered in all directions, knowing that if conflict broke out, they would certainly become collateral damage.

“You… you dare kill our ancestor’s doppelgänger? He was a master-level immortal! Aren’t you afraid he’ll come back and take revenge?”

Cao Meng asked, stunned and uncertain, staring at the headless corpse.

“Sorry to disappoint, but I’m afraid he won’t get the chance. His doppelgängers blew up their Qi Seas and died. You think his real body could’ve survived that?”

Qi Huang mocked with a smile.

Hearing this, Cao Meng’s expression changed dramatically. He immediately used his Divine Sense to scan the spatial rift. And then he saw within the vastness of the Immortal Realm a cold corpse floating aimlessly.

“No… no… this can’t be… this can’t be happening…”

Cao Meng went mad, charging outside like a lunatic.

The other members of the Cao clan also rushed out in a daze. Before long, they confirmed Cao Yin was truly dead.

“Waaah! Ancestor! Ancestor! You died so horribly! Now what will the Cao family do without you?!”

The members of the Cao family fell to their knees, crying and wailing.

“An immortal of the Cao family… dead? How is that even possible?”

“And not just any immortal, but a master-level one! How could she possibly have done it?”

“If I recall correctly… isn’t this the first time in cultivation history someone has slain an immortal? Qi Huang has once again made history.”

All the onlookers were struck dumb with fear, their faces twisted in disbelief. Not a single one dared to breathe too loudly. After all, this was a first in the cultivation world.

“You demoness! You dare kill our ancestor!”

Cao Hui finally snapped out of it and cursed Qi Huang with fury.

“Your backer’s gone, and you still dare act arrogant in front of this Alliance Leader?”

Qi Huang sneered coldly. With a mere thought, Cao Hui fell from the sky, smashing into one of the Cao family’s side halls, reducing it to rubble.

The rest of the Cao family trembled with fear. None dared to utter another word against Qi Huang.

“No, no, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it! How did you even do it?!”

Cao Meng no longer dared to retaliate. All he could do was mutter in a daze.

Qi Huang ignored him, rising into the sky and speaking in a clear voice: “Everyone, this Alliance Leader already warned you when I removed the Lü clan’s Immortal Stele. From that moment on, no immortal clan shall use their Immortal Steles to forcibly seize women. I did it for the sake of your descendants.”

“But what did the Cao family do? Not only did they not listen, they even dared to target me, the Alliance Leader. This isn’t just an insult to me, it’s an insult to everyone. They deserve annihilation.”

“Alliance Leader Qi is right! The Cao family relied on their Immortal Stele and ancestors to forcibly take women. If we don’t put a stop to this, one day our own daughters and granddaughters will live in constant fear.”

“Alliance Leader Qi, I propose we destroy the Cao family’s Immortal Stele. Otherwise, who can guarantee they won’t do it again?”

“Alliance Leader Qi, I suggest we eliminate all Immortal Steles in the cultivation world. Only then can we truly end this threat once and for all!”

Hundreds of thousands of spectators chimed in, their support pouring forth. Some were genuine; most were just following the crowd. But it didn’t matter either way.

All nine Immortal Clans had representatives present. The moment the topic of the Immortal Steles came up, their expressions changed.

“No, no, this… this won’t do… Our Youxuan Palace also possesses an Immortal Stele, but we’ve never used it to abduct women or do anything evil!”

The Youxuan Palace members hastily defended themselves. Other immortal factions not close with Qi Huang did the same, explaining frantically.

The Ning Clan and Huarong Sect said nothing as they were already allied with Qi Huang.

As for the Lü Clan, Zhizun Peak, and Jingtian Sect, their Immortal Steles had already been destroyed. Naturally, they had no objections. In fact, they even stirred the crowd on.

Qi Huang didn’t agree immediately. She wasn’t foolish. There was no way she’d let herself be used as a weapon by others. She simply said, “This Alliance Leader is just and fair. I’ll decide who deserves punishment and who doesn’t!”

After saying that, Qi Huang looked down and addressed the members of the Cao family: “Listen up, Cao family. You’ve committed a grave sin. I could have executed every last one of you to set an example. But since your crimes haven’t reached the level of mass murder, and since I have a kind heart, I’ll spare your lives. However, your Immortal Stele must be destroyed to prevent any future disasters.”

“No… please don’t… you can’t… the Immortal Stele is the very lifeblood of the Cao family!”

“I beg you… Immortal Qi… Alliance Leader Qi… please don’t destroy our family’s Immortal Stele. We’re willing to sacrifice everything we have to make it up to you.”

“Alliance Leader Qi, the guilty party is Cao Yang! If you must punish someone, punish him. Please don’t destroy the Cao family’s Immortal Stele!”

The Cao family was finally scared. One after another, they dropped their pride and begged in low, groveling voices.

Qi Huang ignored them completely. Her Divine Sense turned into two massive hands that gripped the Cao family’s Immortal Stele and pulled upward, just like uprooting a radish. This time, however, the “radish” was clearly bigger, and a powerful resistance force fought back.

“The master’s already dead. Time for you to become a gravestone.”

Qi Huang shouted. Her powerful Divine Sense poured out from her body. The two giant hands tore space apart and burrowed deep into the Immortal Stele. Waves of terrifying spatial energy rippled in all directions.

“Fall back! Everyone, fall back!”

The onlookers’ expressions changed dramatically. They retreated in panic, as did everyone in the Cao family’s courtyard.

“Waaah! Our Immortal Stele! Without it, is the Cao family still even a clan of immortals?!”

The Cao family collapsed to the ground, wailing. But not one of them dared step forward to stop her.

RUMBLE!

The earth trembled violently. The buildings of the Cao estate began collapsing one after another.

At the same time, the Feng Shui site activated again. Spiritual energy from all directions gathered into five dragon-shaped spiritual veins that clung tightly to the base of the Immortal Stele like five massive roots plunging deep into the ground.

“This trick again!”

Qi Huang had experience. Her sleeves danced as she summoned countless sharp “steel wires” that dropped down and easily sliced through all five spiritual veins.

BOOM!

With the roots severed, the Cao family’s Immortal Stele was finally yanked out, sending a massive cloud of dirt flying.

CRACK! CRACK!

In the next instant, the Cao family’s Immortal Stele began to disintegrate, crumbling into countless fragments that rained down to the earth.
