As the Lily Saint Sect’s Eleventh Elder, Cheng Huixin’s cultivation wasn’t bad—she’d already reached ninth-grade Wuhuang, and had considerable attainments in formation arts.
Making us experience the entrance trial?
Fine!
Then this old woman will just break your formation and counter-humiliate you!
Said and done!
After entering the formation, Cheng Huixin directly expanded her spiritual sense to break it from the source.
However, what she hadn’t anticipated was that just as she made contact with the barrier, it was like touching a restriction, directly causing the entire formation to produce a massive explosion!
“Hehehe!”
Zhen Dejun, who was in the sect, covered his face with a sinister laugh.
He’d modified the formation and merged in a lightning array—as long as external force attempted to break it, it would produce a massive explosion.
A true bomb fanatic!
Whoosh whoosh—
Fierce winds howled, dust flew everywhere.
When all the dust settled, the stairway leading to the mountain gate had been blasted into a huge crater.
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.
If the power had been a bit greater, even the sect might have been affected!
Not possible.
Zhen Dejun had made multiple improvements—the formation’s explosion range was limited only to the stairway area.
Because the explosion range was reduced, the power was also diminished.
But it still left Cheng Huixin extremely disheveled.
She stood in the pit, the qi barrier gathered around her body already showing cracks, then—”Wah!”—she spat out a mouthful of blood.
She was injured!
“Master!”
“Master!”
The disciples behind her cried out in alarm.
They were fine, because at the instant the formation exploded, Cheng Huixin had used a qi barrier to protect them all. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been blasted to the point of vomiting blood on the spot.
“This Elder.”
Jiang Xie’s voice came: “Forgot to tell you—touching the formation without permission will trigger an explosion. This is the Eternal Sect, not the Lily Saint Sect. Since you’ve come, you must follow the rules. Please don’t act arbitrarily.”
Cheng Huixin’s eyes flashed with fury.
She knew the other party had definitely done this deliberately.
But she couldn’t say anything, because since she’d agreed to experience the trial and then tried to break the formation without permission, she was in the wrong.
A classic case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice!
Jiang Xie said: “The formation is gone, so no trial is needed. You may come up now. Remember, the Eternal Sect has formations everywhere. Please be sure to control yourselves, otherwise you’ll bear all consequences!”
“Go!”
Cheng Huixin said in a suppressed voice: “Up!”
Swish! Swish!
The disciples flew up, landing at the mountain gate entrance. Except for Murong Xin, every one of them had fury in their eyes.
Coming to the Eternal Sect for the first time only to suffer a major loss—this naturally made these disciples with overflowing superiority complexes unable to accept it.
…
“Creak!”
The tightly closed mountain gate opened.
Su Xiaomo walked out, cupping his hands: “The Sect Master awaits quietly in the great hall. Please follow me inside.”
Cheng Huixin said coldly: “This old woman traveled thousands of miles to come here—won’t your Sect Master personally come out to welcome us?”
“If it were your sect’s Sect Master, our Sect Master would naturally welcome them personally. But as for an elder…” Su Xiaomo paused, then said flatly: “You don’t have that qualification.”
“Outrageous!”
Several Lily Saint Sect disciples behind her said angrily.
“What about it?”
Su Xiaomo crossed his arms, saying flatly: “Don’t like hearing it?”
This guy was becoming more and more cocky.
The Lily Saint Sect disciples couldn’t endure it. An older one was about to speak, but was stopped by Cheng Huixin, who said lightly: “A fifth-rate sect master certainly has quite the airs.”
With that, she started walking toward the sect.
The disciples followed closely, but as they brushed past Su Xiaomo, they all glared at him with wide, angry eyes.
This detestable man was too impolite, too ill-bred!
As distinguished sect members going to the Xiao Family to break off an engagement, recklessly mocking and humiliating others—you all had manners and breeding then?
Truly, such double standards…
“Stop staring.”
Su Xiaomo said flatly: “I’m afraid you’ll fall in love with me.”
“Sorry.”
He added: “Even if you have ideas about me, I won’t pay attention to you—your looks are too ordinary.”
If their master hadn’t already gone in, this group of Lily Saint Sect disciples, beautiful as flowers and jade, would probably have directly drawn their swords and stabbed Su Xiaomo into a hornet’s nest.
…
In the past, people from second-rate sects, no matter where they went, would be treated as honored guests, carefully hosted and curried favor with, for fear of accidentally offending them.
This special privilege didn’t work at the Eternal Sect.
Because as Cheng Huixin and the others walked in, heading toward the great hall, not one disciple they encountered gave them a proper look.
“I thought second-rate sect members would be so impressive, but they’re just mediocre-looking.”
“Compared to our senior sisters and junior sisters, they’re far inferior.”
“Honestly, it’s fortunate they broke off the engagement first. Otherwise with such looks, how could they match our dignified and imposing Senior Brother Xiao?”
The Eternal Sect disciples whispered amongst themselves.
These words made the Lily Saint Sect female disciples even more enraged.
People like them from major sects were very confident in their own aptitude and appearance. Now being evaluated as mediocre-looking was truly unacceptable.
“Everyone.”
Li Luoqiu walked out from the great hall, smiling: “Upon entering the great hall, please do not wear weapons.”
This woman wore a fashionable Hall Master uniform, showing off her perfect figure to the fullest.
The Lily Saint Sect female disciples weren’t bad-looking, but compared to our mature and alluring Hall Master Li, they truly fell far short!
Someone might say:
I prefer pure and innocent!
Fine!
Someone like Ling Yuanxue, reserved and refined—she had as much purity as you could want. The Lily Saint Sect disciples still couldn’t compare.
As for cute, even less comparable.
Liu Wanshi and Yao Mengying, even the humanized Little Demon Fairy, could reduce them to slag.
Want to compare more?
Sure!
Call over Lu Qianqian.
This high-and-cold senior sister—just standing there, whether in presence or temperament, could easily throw these female disciples who considered themselves talented and beautiful tens of thousands of miles away.
No wonder the Eternal Sect disciples would whisper amongst themselves. It absolutely wasn’t deliberate obstruction, but because their senior sisters and junior sisters were all national beauties—these Lily Saint Sect people completely didn’t catch their eye!
Of course.
Murong Xin’s appearance wasn’t bad.
Aside from her, the other female disciples were completely outmatched in looks.
Cheng Huixin said with a stern face: “Martial cultivators never part with their weapons.”
Even their Lily Saint Sect didn’t have such a rule forbidding weapons in the great hall.
“My apologies.”
Li Luoqiu smiled: “This is a rule established by our Eternal Sect. Since you’re visiting, you should follow it.”
“What if we don’t follow it?” Cheng Huixin said.
Li Luoqiu said: “You may leave.”
“…”
Cheng Huixin’s face became increasingly ugly.
She could see it—the Eternal Sect was deliberately making things difficult!
A newly promoted fifth-rate sect daring to treat a second-rate sect this way—where did they get such courage!
“Sect Master Jun!”
Cheng Huixin called out coldly: “Is this how the Eternal Sect treats guests?”
“Elder Cheng.”
Jun Changxiao’s voice came from the great hall: “Do I need to tell you the principle of ‘when in Rome, do as the Romans do’?”
Hearing this, Cheng Huixin was so angry her hands trembled slightly.
“Also.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Please have your disciples retract their fury, because in my Eternal Sect, no one will indulge them.”
