Chapter 165

In front of outsiders one naturally cannot lose face; after all, it was your Luo Xia Sect that first played dirty—the Zhong Ling girl had indeed asked Su Luoxing, and he himself said he could use Talisman Seal, so no one else can be blamed.

However, Bai Hua Xianzi, hearing the praise from all the Peak Masters, felt completely unwell.

I have never taught these things; moreover, even she herself hasn't studied Talisman Seal much, and even if she wanted to teach, she couldn't teach anything.

Gazing gloomily at Zhong Ling ahead, these girls have a problem.

Just a month apart, yet Zhong Ling and the others give Bai Hua Xianzi a feeling as if worlds apart—are these still my disciples?

Zhao Xin's whole body is scorched black, obviously he has no strength left to fight.

"Su Zongzhu, I should count as having won, right?"

Next comes the demand for the wager; hearing this, Su Luoxing snorted coldly, waved his hand and pushed the pills and spiritual fruits toward Zhong Ling, then turned to Qi Xiong and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"As expected of Dao Yi Sect, the leader of the righteous path in Dongzhou, your sneaky tactics are quite practiced."

Hearing this, Qi Xiong also narrowed his eyes, showing no weakness.

"Oh, Su Lao Guai, you mean the Talisman Seal path is just a sneaky little way?"

"I............."

"It seems in your heart, Su Lao Guai, all the Talisman Seal masters of Dongzhou are heretical ways."

"I haven't.........."

"I've long felt that you, Su Lao Guai, look down on Talisman Seal masters; now it seems true, but saying this, I will have to refute a couple of points."

"How many Talisman Seals does your Luo Xia Sect buy each year from the Talisman Gate? You despise the Talisman Seal path as sneaky, yet you still buy their Talisman Seals—how could that be acceptable?"

"Qi Xiong, I haven't.............."

"Since you look down on Talisman Seal masters, why buy any Talisman Seals? Putting on an act in front of the Talisman Gate, do you think all the Talisman Seal masters of Dongzhou are fools?"

As Qi Xiong spoke, not far away, the Talisman Seal masters led by the Grand Elder of the Talisman Gate all had grim faces.

After all, Su Luoxing had indeed just said those four words 'sneaky'.

But conscience aside, Su Luoxing really hadn't thought that much back then; he simply wanted to disgust Qi Xiong.

But who would have thought that such a tiny flaw could be caught by Qi Xiong and endlessly magnified, as if one hat after another were being placed on his head?

However, what Su Luoxing didn't expect was that this was merely an appetizer; next, Qi Xiong's words became increasingly outrageous.

"Su Lao Guai, you don't like Talisman Seal masters—does that mean you also dislike Weapon Refiners, Pill Masters, and Formation Masters?"

"In your heart, Su Lao Guai, perhaps only orthodox cultivators count as true cultivators; as for the paths of weapon refining, pill alchemy, and formation, in your eyes they are always just minor ways, not fit for the table, nothing but sneaky tactics, right?"

"But have you ever considered: without Weapon Refiners, where would we cultivators get our Divine Weapons? Without Pill Masters, how could we cultivators have such cultivation speed? Without Formation Masters, where would your Luo Xia Sect's sect-protecting grand formation come from?"

"As a sect master, Su Lao Guai, your vision is too narrow; how can this continue? A hundred flowers bloom, all paths return to the sect—any path is a kind of cultivation great way, deserving respect; even if you don't like it, you shouldn't slander it."

"Qi Xiong, I don't mean that, stop spouting nonsense..............."

"With such narrow vision of yours, wouldn't sword, blade, and spear arts also be sneaky in your eyes................"

"Don't speak recklessly, I don't mean that............."

Su Luoxing was completely driven to anger by the words; he immediately stood up and roared, if he let that guy keep talking, he would soon become a public enemy of Dongzhou.

In this exchange, Su Luoxing suffered a complete defeat, while the Dao Yi Sect members below who had witnessed it all showed no reaction—only Shi Song shook his head secretly and muttered.

"Really, no memory."

Back when the Third Elder of Luo Xia Sect encountered things in Dao Yi Sect, he doesn't believe Su Luoxing would be unaware—how could he just forget? Has the scar healed and forgotten the pain?

You think Qi Xiong could become Sect Master of Dao Yi Sect just because he's the Senior Brother? If you think that, you're too naive.

To be frank, don't look at Hong Zun jumping around happily; in many aspects, in front of Qi Xiong he really is just a junior brother—otherwise, after all these years, why couldn't he escape the Senior Brother's five-finger mountain?

Left speechless by the accusations, in the end Su Luoxing could only surrender his arms and urge the start of the next match.

Finally, Qi Xiong still didn't forget to add a sentence, his face extremely solemn.

"Su Zongzhu, I think you should give an explanation to all the major sects of Dongzhou; afterward I will contact everyone and convene a Hundred Sects Conference to properly discuss this matter."

Holy shit, hearing this, Su Luoxing is completely unable to hold back—what do you want to do? What exactly do you want to do?

Still convening a Hundred Sects Conference? You damn well might as well just say you'll directly annihilate my Luo Xia Sect!

Just such a tiny flaw, yet Qi Xiong has blown it out of proportion; now it's practically like a public trial of him.

Moreover, he can say it with such righteous indignation—Qi Xiong, you really are something.

No more words—more talk, more mistakes—he immediately sent out disciples to start the next match.

By now, the disciples of the other peaks have seen that the few girls of Jade Maiden Peak are just after Su Luoxing's those wagers, and they simply can't compete.

As expected, at the moment the Luo Xia Sect disciples rose to their feet, the Second Senior Sister of Jade Maiden Peak immediately stood up and challenged to a fight.

"Has Jade Maiden Peak already become this poor?"

"Otherwise, do you think the black iron wood forest behind the mountain disappeared for no reason?"

Alright, it looks like Jade Maiden Peak is truly poor.

Soon the battle began; the two combatants actually knew each other, after all they were both Inner Disciples, so it's not strange.

After exchanging blows, that Luo Xia Sect disciple laughed and said.

"Junior Sister, you are sure to lose this battle."

"Senior Brother, you're very confident."

"That's natural, because Senior Brother has broken through."

Immediately, that disciple's aura surged, from Great Accomplishment of the Form-Image Realm straight to Perfection of the Form-Image Realm.

"How about it, Junior Sister, aren't you going to surrender now?"

This guy had concealed his cultivation; seeing this, Su Luoxing in the rear rarely showed a smile—now let's see what the Dao Yi Sect can do.

But before his smile could fully spread, the next second an equally strong aura appeared—the Second Senior Sister's cultivation had also reached Perfection of the Form-Image Realm.

"That's really unfortunate; Junior Sister also recently had a lucky breakthrough."

Turns out he'd hidden a trick; however, such tactics are merely basic for Jade Maiden Peak—constantly suffering losses at the hands of Divine Sword Peak, hiding one or two tricks is just everyday fare.

Nowadays, who doesn't keep a hidden card or something like that.

「You................. 」

In an instant, the disciple's smile froze on their face, Su Luoxing's smile froze on their face, whereas the Dao Yi Sect people showed no change.

As expected, it's still like that, got manipulated again.
