Chapter 2154: with translation of chapter title
The disciples had long planned it; this time they came just to seize Lingtai Dong.
As for sharing with Wuji Xiancheng, the disciples never even thought of it—such an Xiūliàn treasure land, how could it be shared with others?
As the disciples brought out the various treasures they had prepared long ago, Le Ke, who had always remained calm, finally could not hold back.
While struggling hard, they shouted.
"Don't go too far, this Lingtai Dong belongs to us."
It's a pity, with cultivation sealed, Le Ke's struggle meant nothing; the Demon-Binding Rope binding her tightly restricted her movement.
And the disciples didn't care either; from now on, Lingtai Dong belongs to Dao One.
"Elder Ye, you rest; leave these trifles to us, we'll make sure they're properly handled."
Two female disciples attended to Ye Zhangqing with smiles as he rested aside.
Indicating that Ye Zhangqing need not act, we disciples can handle this little matter ourselves.
As numerous treasures were placed one after another beside the two major formation eyes.
Le Ke was really anxious; she could naturally see that Dao One Immortal Sect had come prepared, these treasures were more than enough to easily seize the entire Lingtai Dong.
At this moment, Le Ke's heart was filled with shock.
I had thought they of Wuji Xiancheng were already meticulous, planning to use this opportunity to test Dao One Immortal Sect.
For this, they didn't hesitate to even invite Hongyun.
Who would have thought that Wuji Xiancheng only wanted to test a little, while Dao One Immortal Sect planned to directly seize the entire Lingtai Dong.
How ruthless Dao One Immortal Sect is—just one step and it's done.
Moreover, that Xu Jie..................
Le Ke looked angrily at Ye Zhangqing; at this moment she seemed to finally realize.
The person who previously claimed to be Xu Jie was simply an impostor.
The real Xu Jie is this guy.
Truly extremely deceitful—right from the start he concealed his identity, casually finding a disciple to stand in for himself.
He kept her spinning around from beginning to end; this guy is the real Xu Jie.
Le Ke looked at Ye Zhangqing with eyes full of grief and indignation, convinced that this person was the real Xu Jie.
But after this battle, Le Ke also confirmed one thing: Xu Jie indeed possesses the appearance of a Yāoniè.
The earlier rumors about him were true, not exaggerated.
But compared to those few other Yāoniè, this "Xu Jie" is obviously more cautious, deceitful, base, with deeper scheming.
Teeth gritted, making a creaking sound; this trip to Lingtai Dong, Wuji Xiancheng can be said to have suffered a complete defeat.
Not only were several people killed, the others also had their cultivation completely sealed and controlled; they truly suffered utter humiliation.
Most crucially, Lingtai Dong was also lost.
As many disciples of Dao One Immortal Sect activated the treasures, forming hand seals, a rich formation light flickered above the formation eyes.
That light foretold that control of the formation was being changed, especially as the disciples took out a token and stamped it onto the formation eye, Le Ke's heart broke.
Once that token is formed, the token in Wuji Xiancheng's hands becomes useless scrap iron.
Though angry, Le Ke could do nothing at this moment, not even control her own life—there was nothing she could do.
She could only watch helplessly as all this unfolded.
Inside Lingtai Dong, everything went smoothly; whereas Wuji Xiancheng, after Wu Shou left in anger, Li Hongyan was instead completely at peace.
For now, we're just waiting for news from Lingtai Dong.
Time flew by; in the blink of an eye, it's almost been half a month, and Lingtai Dong is about to end.
"How many days left?"
That day, Li Hongyan looked at the subordinate before him and asked.
This subordinate knew Li Hongyan was asking about the day Lingtai Dong would close, and immediately replied.
"Reporting to the City Lord, it will end tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Upon hearing this, Li Hongyan nodded slightly; tomorrow Lingtai Dong would reach its closing time—each opening lasts half a month, an agreement between Wuji Xiancheng and the beast tribe, which has always been so.
Even though it has been changed to Dao One Immortal Sect this time, the rule remains unchanged.
What Li Hongyan is most concerned about right now is whether Le Ke and the others have managed to test the true or false identity of Xu Jie.
The next day, at noon, Li Hongyan indeed received Le Ke's contact.
I had thought we could get an answer, but just as the formation was connected, on the Formation Light Curtain Le Ke's projection appeared, and she immediately spoke anxiously.
"City Lord, not good—Lingtai Dong has been seized by the people of Dao One Immortal Sect, these despicable villains..."
"Huh???"
Before I could even speak, Le Ke's crackling cries for help left me dazed.
After I came to, Li Hongyan frowned and said.
"I sent you to test that Xu Jie—why was Lingtai Dong lost?"
"City Lord, that Xu Jie is deceitful and base, deliberately hiding his identity; afterwards, the disciples of Dao One Immortal Sect were even more prepared—from start to finish they were aimed at seizing Lingtai Dong."
In response to Li Hongyan's inquiry, Le Ke told him everything that had happened in Lingtai Dong, truthfully and in full.
After hearing Le Ke's words, Li Hongyan fell silent.
The rumors about Xu Jie are not false; this fellow indeed possesses the appearance of a Yāoniè, though his mind is deep and he is cautious.
Most crucially, Lingtai Dong is gone?
Now Wuji Xiancheng has completely lost control of Lingtai Dong; the previous token is useless, while the token now controlling Lingtai Dong is in the hands of Dao One Immortal Sect, and together with Ye Zhangqing they have returned to the Sect.
After hearing Le Ke's words, Li Hongyan's eyes blazed with anger; looking at the anxious Le Ke in the Formation Light Curtain, he cursed.
"Trash."
"They immediately cut off the Formation."
"They let you guys try that Xu Jie, but the result was that they lost the entire Lingtai Dong."
"Damned Dao One Immortal Sect."
"A cold light flashed in their eyes, and faintly the sound of grinding teeth could be heard."
"Unlike the anger in Wuji Xiancheng, within the Dao One Immortal Sect, with Ye Zhangqing's return, Qi Xiong and the others were overjoyed."
"Inside the main hall, holding the token thrown by Ye Zhangqing, Qi Xiong said with a look of surprise."
"Youngster Changqing, you say this is the token controlling Lingtai Dong?"
"Yes, those disciples did it; they had long been secretly planning.................."
"After briefly explaining the situation, hearing it, Qi Xiong and the others were happy, good good good, truly a great surprise."
"Originally these days, Wu Shou was still angry because of Li Hongyan's arrogance, his teeth aching, and whenever he thought of it he would blow his beard and glare."
"But unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, Ye Zhangqing gave him a mouthful of anger."
"Just thinking about Li Hongyan's expression now, Wu Shou's mood becomes relaxed."
"You won't sell even if I offer money, right? Then I'll just directly take action."
"I guess Li Hongyan must be gritting his teeth in anger now, truly losing the wife and losing the troops."
"Good good good, Elder Ye Zhangqing has rendered great merit this time."
"Sect Master, this merit has nothing to do with me; it's all planned by the disciples themselves, and rewards should go to them."
