Upon hearing this, Hua Rong smiled, a rare occurrence for him.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, and the person in the mirror did the same, looking somewhat sinister: "Since they call us the Demonic Cult, then we should naturally do what the Demonic Cult should do."
"What the leader says is true." Green Strike smiled as she combed Hua Rong's hair. "Leader, just relax and wait to become the leader of the martial arts world. The entire martial arts world will belong to our Sun Moon Divine Sect."
Hua Rong nodded in agreement.
She didn't care about the position of martial arts alliance leader; she just wanted the martial arts manuals from various sects. Her self-created "Yuan Qi Gongfa" had hit a bottleneck, and she needed more manuals to refer to.
Rather than stealing it, it's better to intimidate them with our strength and make them obediently hand it over to her.
"How's the situation on the imperial side?"
"Prince Ling is very cooperative with us. I think we should address him as Your Majesty next time we meet."
Hua Rong nodded; she had no interest in wasting time killing Yu Jing.
Moreover, wouldn't it be too lenient to just kill Yu Jing, the main culprit in his previous life?
The best punishment is to take away what he values most.
======
A few days later, the martial arts tournament was successfully held.
After Wen Cangtian spoke, the martial arts competition began.
Yu Jing sat high up on a building not far from the arena, watching the duel below.
Lin Zhi sat beside him, affectionately serving him.
Yu Jing's gaze remained completely unmoved.
Hua Rong watched the interaction between the female lead and the infatuated second male lead from afar and smiled mockingly.
In his previous life, Yu Jing did not participate in this martial arts tournament; Wang Yifeng was the one who came.
This was also the first meeting between Wang Yifeng and Lin Zhi, and what followed was naturally a story of love at first sight and falling in love again upon meeting once more.
As for Lin Zhi and Yu Jing's first meeting, it was after Wuyinglou destroyed Renyi Manor.
The Linzhi of that time was different from the attentive people of today; it seemed indifferent.
Yu Jing, this chosen one, is exactly into that kind of vibe.
Hua Rong thought that perhaps Yu Jing liked Lin Zhi so much because his good brother Wang Yifeng also liked her.
Things that people fight over and scramble for are the ones that people care about the most.
How despicable!
On the arena, the competition reached its most crucial moment.
Why does it smell so good?
"Yes! I smelled it too, it's a very strong floral fragrance."
"Look, what's that?!"
Someone exclaimed, and everyone looked in the direction the person was pointing, and they were immediately filled with fear.
Not far away, amidst a rain of fluttering petals, eight stunningly beautiful women dressed in red were seen carrying a red sedan chair in mid-air.
A red beaded curtain cascaded down from the top of the sedan chair, its dazzling red patterns covering the entire body. The red curtains swayed in the wind, vaguely revealing the fair face of the person inside.
"The Sun Moon Cult, renowned for its literary and martial prowess. Its Eastern Leader, a benevolent force to all. May it reign supreme over the martial world for millennia!"
The solemn voice, amplified by internal energy, echoed throughout the entire city of Guangyuan.
The words spoken by those members of the evil cult sent chills down everyone's spines.
"The Demonic Cult!"
"The one sitting in the sedan chair is the leader of the Demonic Sect!"
"You wicked woman, you're too arrogant! How dare you come here!"
The sedan chair stopped on the arena where the martial arts competition was being held. Hua Rong did not get out of the sedan chair, but his profound internal energy, accompanied by his clear and cold voice, spread out.
"What? Have you all stipulated that the Sun Moon Divine Sect cannot participate in the competition for the leader of the alliance? Does that mean that my Sun Moon Divine Sect does not belong to the Central Plains martial arts world?"
Those who followed the righteous path were taken aback by Hua Rong's words and fell silent for a moment.
Wen Cangtian, dressed in white, though over forty, looked refined and handsome: "Since the sect leader has come here, he must abide by the rules."
Hua Rong suddenly became interested when he heard the question about asking the heavens.
She lifted the curtain and came out.
Suddenly, even the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Her skin was fair and translucent in the sunlight, her eyebrows were light and delicate, her eyes were indifferent as water, and her pink lips, slightly curved, were the source of countless kisses throughout the ages.
"I, the Venerable One, wish to have a match with you."
Upon hearing this, Wen Cangtian suppressed the amazement in his eyes and shook his head, saying, "I will not participate—"
Before he could finish refusing, Hua Rong interrupted, "Shadow Thief, Ghost Thief, let's begin."
"As the leader commands!"
Then, the two thieves emerged from the crowd, sat facing each other, and began chanting incantations.
Instantly, more than 80% of the righteous people present fell to the ground, their faces turning blue and purple, rolling around on the ground.
Hua Rong picked up the sword at his waist, smiled at Wen Cangtian, and said, "If you don't fight, they will die immediately."
Wen Cangtian's face turned pale, a flash of anger crossing his features: "You are such a beautiful woman, why are you so vicious?!"
Hua Rong sneered: "Didn't you all call my Sun Moon Divine Cult a demonic cult? I only did what a demonic cult should do!"
"Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said."
Upon hearing this, Hua Rong looked up, his smile widening: "You must be Master Nianchan. Why don't you have a match with me? No—"
Hua Rong confidently said, "If the two of you work together and defeat me, not only will they be fine, but I will also leave immediately and guarantee that my sect will not interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world again."
"Ask the Alliance Leader, Master Nianchan, to teach this vixen a lesson!"
"That's right, kill her!"
"You shall agree! Kill this witch!"
The upright people were terrified by Hua Rong's methods, and said with fear and resentment.
After exchanging a glance, Wen Cangtian and Nianchan had no choice but to take action.
The two didn't go all out at first, but soon sweat beaded on their foreheads. Before they could even react, they were forced back, fell heavily to the ground, and were no longer able to fight.
The martial arts practitioners were momentarily stunned, followed by shock and fear!
The martial arts of this demonic sect leader are... truly unfathomable!
Master Nianchan and Wen Cangtian are the top two martial arts masters in the contemporary world, but even such masters, when they join forces, cannot last more than fifty moves against the leader of the Demonic Sect!
Hua Rong frowned: "How can you be so weak?!"
I asked the heavens: "..."
Master Nianchan: "..."
The martial arts community: "..."
"In that case, the position of alliance leader should be mine, right?" Hua Rong sheathed his sword with some disappointment. "So, submission or death. You don't have much time to consider."
======
Linzhi felt jealous and resentful when he saw Hua Rong's appearance.
She had to admit that Hua Rong was more beautiful than her.
When she saw Yu Jingdu staring at Hua Rong in a daze, she felt even more jealous.
"Does Young Master Yu also find the Demonic Sect Leader beautiful?"
Yu Jing ignored what Lin Zhi was saying, because he recognized the man as the assassin he had captured years ago.
The leader of a demonic cult?
Yu Jing's face darkened. The leader of the Demonic Sect was actually this shameless person!
Thinking of the strange treasures that had vanished from his room and Wang Yifeng who had died in the dungeon, he wished he could strangle the other man immediately.
However, before he could even make a move, he collapsed.
I'm under a spell...
