Chapter 715: The Terrifying Trio

Qu Hongxiao did not care at all whether Ye Lin actually had the strength to challenge the three of them.

All she wanted was to taste the man of the Hall Master of Wunian.

The feeling of snatching a big shot's man gave her a faint sense of excitement in her heart.

She also wanted to know, what exactly did this man have that could attract a big shot like the Hall Master of Wunian?

"What a vicious wager!"

Ye Lin's expression changed wildly.

He only wanted to spar with these three to thoroughly make a name for himself in the Joyous Union Sect, so as to pave the way for the upcoming Eastern Profound Sect grand competition.

As it turned out, this Qu Hongxiao was actually coveting his body? It was simply base!

Ye Lin absolutely condemned, in spirit, women who just wanted to find a man to play with but didn't want to take responsibility!

"Just say whether you agree or not; if you don't agree, then I'm leaving." Qu Hongxiao shrugged; why would she do something that had no benefits?

"I... I agree!"

Ye Lin clenched his fists in humiliation.

"Very good, when are you planning to start?" Qu Hongxiao's eyes lit up.

"Three days from now."

Ye Lin needed some time to build momentum.

Only by letting more disciples of the Joyous Union Sect see it with their own eyes would this battle have the significance of establishing his prestige.

"Good, then see you in three days; I'm looking forward to it~"

Qu Hongxiao reached out her hand and gently lifted Ye Lin's chin, her charming eyes like silk.

After Qu Hongxiao left, Ye Lin also wanted to leave.

But at this moment, those disciples of the Hall of Coveted Joy were not happy.

"Ye Xiehong, have you forgotten something?"

"That's right! What about the five hundred top-grade Immortal Source Stones we agreed on?"

"Are you trying to welsh on the debt?"

The disciples' gazes were unkind, with signs of them faintly surrounding Ye Lin.

"How could I possibly welsh on a debt? Keeping one's word is my, Ye Xiehong's, way of conducting myself!"

"Follow me, I'll get the Immortal Source Stones for you, I'll even take out five hundred more—oh no, five hundred each—otherwise, if the righteous sects next door see this, they'll think I can't afford it!"

Ye Lin patted his chest and began to give his guarantee.

Although the disciples were slightly suspicious, they were not too afraid.

After all, they had strength in numbers; they didn't believe this guy would dare to welsh on the debt. With so many people, a single spit from each of them would be enough to drown him.

Dozens of disciples followed Ye Lin to retrieve the Immortal Source Stones.

Once they went, they never returned.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner, however, gained several dozen resentful souls.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed quietly.

During these three days, through Ye Lin's efforts, the news that he was going to challenge the three great experts of the Hall of Coveted Joy, the Hall of Bone-Eroding, and the Hall of Sinful Mirrors single-handedly had spread throughout the entire Joyous Union Sect.

If it were an ordinary person, the disciples might not have cared much.

But since this person was Ye Lin, the disciples became interested!

After all, Ye Lin had just successfully confessed to the Hall Master of Wunian a few days ago, and he was currently at the height of his popularity.

When the sky was just beginning to brighten, many disciples had already gathered spontaneously to watch the show.

"Can any knowledgeable brothers or sisters tell me, what is Ye Xiehong's background? How does he dare to challenge Qu Hongxiao and the other two at the same time? Isn't this just asking for death?"

"I heard from the disciples of the Hall of Coveted Joy that if he loses, he has to accompany Qu Hongxiao for three days and three nights. I suspect he's just trying to get free food and drink!"

"That shouldn't be it, right? Isn't the Hall Master of Wunian more exciting than Qu Hongxiao?"

"What do you know? The one you haven't tasted is the most fragrant."

"But I heard a rumor that this Ye Xiehong's talent is heaven-defying; it's very likely he has a legendary forbidden spirit root! Could there be something to that?"

"Forget it! I just saw him a few days ago; his cultivation is only at the early stage of the Five Elements Realm. Even if he really has a forbidden spirit root, it's useless! Senior Sister Qu Hongxiao and the other two are already in the Cave Profound Realm!"

The gathered disciples discussed animatedly, clearly looking forward to this battle immensely.

And in the expectant gazes of the crowd, the four protagonists arrived as promised.

Yin Luosha's makeup was entirely black, looking somewhat gloomy; at first glance, she gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

She was very thin, yet wrapped in a wide black robe; if one stared at her closely, one could even see the trails of strange creatures wriggling beneath her skin.

Su Xiaojiu was small, just over one meter five, wearing a goose-yellow long dress, looking innocent and naive; she didn't look like a cultivator in the Joyous Union Sect at all.

It was also Ye Lin's first time seeing these two people.

Although it was their first contact, both of them gave Ye Lin a faint sense of danger.

"Ye Lin, I have a piece of news, though I don't know if it's good or bad for you," Qu Hongxiao said with a smile.

"What news?" Ye Lin raised an eyebrow.

"That is, Yin Luosha and little sister Xiaojiu, they also want to play with you. In other words, if you lose, it won't just be me playing with you, but the three of us, oh~"

Qu Hongxiao laughed; such things were clearly commonplace for her.

Ye Lin's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Fighting three against one, wouldn't that be chaotic? If things went wrong, his tongue might even cramp.

The Joyous Union Sect was still too authoritative.

"It seems I have a reason I must lose this battle—oh no, a reason I must win!"

Ye Lin took a deep breath and stared vigilantly at Qu Hongxiao and the other two.

"Oh? Is that so? Then why don't we stop fighting and just go find a place to have some fun? Little brother Xiehong, big sister guarantees you'll be reluctant to leave~"

Qu Hongxiao let out a peal of silver-bell-like laughter.

And with her laughter, her face actually began to change rapidly at this moment.

Ye Lin actually saw several faces he was familiar with on her face.

"Illusion?"

Without a second word, Ye Lin stabbed his own eyes on the spot.

This decisiveness stunned even Qu Hongxiao.

"No... didn't we say it was just a spar? Was that necessary?"

Yin Luosha and Su Xiaojiu's expressions were also a bit strange; looking at it this way, it seemed there was no need for them to make a move at all, as Qu Hongxiao alone could solve this Ye Xiehong.

"Going all out is the only way to show respect to one's opponent!"

Ye Lin also discovered that he had underestimated Qu Hongxiao; being able to thrive in the Hall of Coveted Joy, the other party was naturally no ordinary person.

"Forbidden Spell: World-Destroying Mad Thunder!"

Ye Lin went all out, starting directly with a forbidden spell.

Black clouds covering the sky swept over with a strong sense of oppression, and a bolt of angry thunder struck down instantly!

Every disciple present had their expression change.

As evil cultivators, they were born with a sense of awe toward rolling heavenly thunder.

The violent thunder exploded, and arcs of lightning spread like spirit snakes, with terrifying power.

But when the thunder dissipated, this bolt of heavenly thunder had failed to cause any harm to Qu Hongxiao and the other two.

A figure like an iron tower, nearly two meters tall, had blocked in front of the three and absorbed all the damage.

The thunder landed on this figure, scorching all its flesh and blood, revealing the hard armor beneath!

Clearly, this was a human puppet!

Su Xiaojiu poked her cute little head out from behind this human puppet and asked Ye Lin playfully.

"Brother Xiehong, are you really that unwilling to play with the three of us? Why did you first self-mutilate your eyes and then immediately use a forbidden spell? Could it be that only the Hall Master of Wunian can pique your interest?"

"Since you've already joined the Joyous Union Sect, if you don't enjoy yourself in time, what difference is there between you and a stray sword-cultivator dog on the side of the road?"
