Volume 13, Chapter 824 – This Is Bad, They Really Summoned an Immortal

Qi Huang thought about it for a moment and agreed, it made sense. Her survival up to now wasn’t just due to sheer luck; her cautious nature and foresight had played an equally critical role.

“You’re able to appear in the cultivation world, and your actual cultivation is at most in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, yet your divine sense has reached the peak of the Human Immortal Realm. Truly, that’s something that surprises this general.”

The Zombie General had been unable to take Qi Huang down for a long time and had no choice but to pause and rethink his strategy.

“Is there really any need to keep fighting? We’re about evenly matched; neither of us can claim certain victory. What if you accidentally die? Why not just call it off?”

Qi Huang offered the suggestion with all humility.

“More nonsense. Are you trying to stall for time? Are you running out of energy, or waiting for your main body to arrive?”

The Zombie General thought himself clever, then said coldly, “If we stop now and your main body shows up, what chance would I still have? So you must die today.”

“Alright then, come to the Immortal Realm. Just don’t destroy my Lingxi Sect’s property.”

Qi Huang didn’t bother to argue and turned to dive into the Immortal Realm, knowing he wouldn’t dare follow.

“You think I’m an idiot? If your main body is waiting in there, wouldn’t following you be like walking into a trap?”

The Zombie General remained unmoved.

“You’re a dignified corpse of the Human-grade Demon, and you can’t even sense whether my main body is nearby? What, are you scared? Just admit it. You really are a cowardly man. If you’re that terrified, why not chop it off and we can be sisters?”

Qi Huang ridiculed him to the extreme.

“Sorry, your goading won’t work on me.”

The Zombie General replied calmly, his state of mind unshaken.

“Well, since you don’t dare come in, I guess we’ll just have to stop fighting.”

Qi Huang shrugged as she spoke.

“Wishful thinking. Do you think this general has no way to force you out?”

A mocking expression appeared on the Zombie General’s face as he looked down at the Lingxi Sect. “Since you care so much about your sect’s property, I’ll just destroy a few buildings, kill a few people. You wouldn’t just stand by and watch, would you?”

“That’s true. But don’t forget, you’ve got tens of thousands of ghost troops stationed outside the imperial capital. If I start killing them, are you sure you can stop me?”

Qi Huang asked calmly in return.

At those words, the Zombie General finally frowned. He remained silent for quite a while before finally saying, “Fine, let’s make a deal. We’ll stop here. This general won’t interfere with the Lingxi Sect, and you won’t hinder my mission.”

“That depends on what your mission is.”

Qi Huang took the opportunity to probe.

“This general has been ordered to locate a woman with a blood tear mole on her face.”

The Zombie General said succinctly.

“A woman with a blood tear mole? Why are you looking for her?”

Qi Huang stifled a laugh as she continued to press for details.

“That’s none of your business. In any case, once this general finds the target, I’ll leave with my troops.”

The Zombie General spoke half-truthfully. He would indeed leave once the target was found, but his ghost troops would definitely stay behind and grow in strength. With so many living beings on this Kaiyuan Planet, it would be too much of a waste to give it up just like that. That was why he planned to eliminate all high-end combat power in the cultivation world beforehand.

Naturally, Qi Huang saw through his lie, but still pretended to play dumb. “Very well. I hope you keep your word. Otherwise, I’ll start with your tens of thousands of subordinates.”

“What a big-breasted, brainless woman.”

The Zombie General secretly mocked her, then turned and left the Lingxi Sect.

“You’re just letting him go? It feels a bit unsatisfying.”

Cheng Hongling appeared and voiced her discontent.

“No choice. That guy is still useful.”

Qi Huang shook her head in explanation.

“What’s your plan next?”

Cheng Hongling asked curiously.

Qi Huang laid it all out: “If I want to turn this place into my vegetable garden, I need enough authority. Didn’t that ghost commander say he plans to kill every cultivator above the Divine Realm on this planet? I’ll make the Lingxi Sect a sanctuary. Only those willing to join us can come here for protection. That way, not only will our strength soar, but our prestige will skyrocket too.”

“Great idea. But will that ghost commander give those cultivators time to consider? He’s a Human-grade Demon zombie. He could wipe out every Divine Realm cultivator in the world in less than a day.”

Cheng Hongling voiced her doubt.

“No problem. I’ll follow him every step of the way. As long as the target is willing to join Lingxi Sect, they’ll be one of us, and it’ll be perfectly reasonable for me to step in.”

Qi Huang grinned with ill intentions.

“I guess that’s the only way.”

Cheng Hongling nodded in agreement.

Once everything was clear, Qi Huang stored her lover back into her spatial ring and returned to the Lingxi Sect through the spatial rift.

Everyone in Lingxi Sect immediately swarmed forward, their faces filled with joy at surviving the disaster.

“Ancestor, are you alright?”

Zhong Qin looked Qi Huang up and down with worry.

“I’m fine. With his pitiful skills, he couldn’t even touch the hem of my robe.”

Qi Huang answered with confidence.

“What about the zombie?”

Zhong Qin looked around.

“I scared him off.”

Qi Huang boasted.

“Ancestor is incredible. Even a zombie that powerful wasn’t your match.”

Zhong Qin immediately looked at Qi Huang with wide eyes full of admiration.

“This is great! With such a powerful ancestor, who would dare bully Lingxi Sect again?”

“Ancestor, that Yanyang Sect has been hostile to us for centuries. Now they’ve taken advantage of the situation to try and destroy us. You mustn’t let them off easy!”

“And that Immortal Alliance too, they blocked us from breaking the spatial barriers. That makes them accomplices and unforgivable!”

With a powerful backer in place, the upper echelons of Lingxi Sect began to settle scores.

“The Sect Master and high elders of Yanyang Sect are already dead by my hand. That should be enough of a message. If they dare come back seeking revenge, I won’t go easy on them.”

Qi Huang brushed it off casually. After all, she was just an imposter and held no real grudges against Yanyang Sect. Wiping them all out wasn’t on her agenda.

Some elders in the Lingxi Sect were clearly unsatisfied, but no one dared speak against her.

“As for the Immortal Alliance? Don’t worry, someone will deal with them.”

Qi Huang continued.

“Ancestor, who do you mean?”

Zhong Qin asked in confusion.

“That zombie, of course. Didn’t you hear him? He wants to kill all cultivators above Divine Realm in the cultivation world of Kaiyuan Planet. The Immortal Alliance is powerful, they’ll definitely be his primary target.”

Qi Huang said confidently, then added, “Aren’t they always claiming they’re in control of the big picture? I’d like to see how they handle that zombie.”

“They brought it on themselves. Serves them right!”

Zhong Qin cursed, then shifted topics: “Ancestor, I still don’t get something. That ghost commander said he’s looking for a girl with a blood tear mole. Why is he massacring all the high-level cultivators?”

“You’re too naive. You can’t take the enemy’s words at face value. Sure, they’re looking for that girl, but look at all the living people on this planet… it’s like a giant piece of fat meat. Do you think they’d just give it up?”

Qi Huang reminded her.

“Ancestor is right. But how are the two things connected?”

Zhong Qin still frowned.

“Of course they’re connected. That ghost commander is too powerful, so the people on this planet aren’t really useful to him. He plans to leave once he finds the girl. But he’s worried his subordinates won’t be able to handle this planet on their own. That’s why he wants to wipe out all the top combatants first.”

Qi Huang explained further.

“I see.”

Zhong Qin finally understood.

“Everyone, since I’ve descended with great effort, I can’t just stop at resolving Lingxi Sect’s crisis. I want to make Lingxi Sect strong enough so I can truly leave with peace of mind. Will you help me?”

Qi Huang then looked around.

“We await your orders, Ancestor.”

The people of Lingxi Sect replied respectfully.

“Listen well. Since that ghost commander intends to wipe out the cultivation world’s top cultivators, I plan to make Lingxi Sect a temporary sanctuary for those whose lives are in danger.”

Qi Huang revealed her plan.

“But why should we help them?”

“Ancestor, most of those cultivators above Divine Realm belong to Immortal Clans. When we were in trouble today, they just stood by. Did you know that?”

“Yes, Ancestor. If we repay evil with kindness, how do we repay kindness?”

The upper ranks voiced their doubts cautiously.

“Let the Ancestor finish before complaining, alright?”

Zhong Qin couldn’t hold back, clearly trusting Qi Huang deeply.

“I’m no saint. Naturally, there are conditions. First, only people from outside the Immortal Alliance and Immortal Clans are eligible for sanctuary. Second, they must join Lingxi Sect if they want protection.”

Qi Huang explained.

“Brilliant idea! That way, Lingxi Sect will grow whether we want it to or not!”

The crowd instantly grew excited.

“Alright, for now have the disciples clean up the mess. The rest can wait.”

Qi Huang gave her instructions.

Zhong Qin accepted the command and began to organize the reconstruction in an orderly fashion.

“This is bad… terrible news, Alliance Leader!”

A panting elder burst into the Immortal Alliance’s council hall.

“What’s with all the panic? Are you at death’s door?”

The white-haired old man sitting on the Alliance Leader’s seat scolded. He was the Kaiyuan Planet Immortal Alliance’s Leader, surnamed Wei.

“No… it’s not that… it’s the Lingxi Sect… They really summoned their Immortal Ancestor!”

The elder gasped out his report between labored breaths.

“What?”

Alliance Leader Wei shot up from his seat.
