Chapter 556 Adding fuel to the fire
Compared with the others, the leader of Hunyuan Sect was the most anxious. Originally, he could get ten small worlds, and no matter whether they were divided or not, and no matter how they were divided, he would always get the biggest share. But once he fell out of the top eight, it would be a loss no matter how you calculated it. So, he didn't care about the others. Didn't Zhong Ling'er just want spirit stones? He had plenty of them.
"Zhong Ling'er, sell me a spot, I'll pay you 2 million spirit stones. Also, aren't you upset because I abandoned you? I'll give you 10 million spirit stones as an apology, what do you think?"
Zhong Ling'er's eyes widened immediately. Ten million spirit stones? What should she do? She was so tempted.
A hand stretched out as if it had self-awareness. Zhong Ling'er glanced at Chengqing, but saw him glaring at her. Then he took out a medicine bottle and shook it. It was a transformation pill for a divine beast, a magical medicine that only the Palace of the God King had.
Although the path to transformation has been completed, it has extremely high requirements for blood purity. Divine beasts like the saber-toothed tiger need to take the transformation pill and then practice the path to transformation before they can completely transform. She had promised the saber-toothed tiger that she would get him the pill.
Holding back the pain in her heart, Zhong Ling'er suppressed her restless hand and said to the leader of Hunyuan Sect with a look of resentment, "Don't test me with spirit stones again. We are enemies that cannot be reconciled."
The leader of Chengqian Sect now understood that it was impossible to divide the world equally. Besides, he already had ten small worlds in his hands, so it would not be a loss if he could get ten more back.
So he immediately took out the spiritual stone bag and stuffed it into the hands of Wu Chen Zhenren beside him, but said to Zhong Ling'er: "Friend Zhong, can you give me the jade token?"
Zhong Ling'er threw out a jade token. There was no way that Hunyuan Sect would let him succeed. You know, as long as they suppressed Chengqian Sect and prevented him from increasing his points, he would at worst be ranked eighth, and he would definitely get ten small worlds.
So when he saw the jade token flying out, the leader of the Hunyuan Sect swept it with a palm wind, and the jade token was shattered into powder. The leader of the Chengqian Sect was furious, and roared, "How dare you, you brat", and then slapped it with his palm.
The leader of the Hunyuan Sect laughed as he fought back, "Hey, don't be so angry. Zhong Ling'er is trying to sow discord between us. We can't fall for her trick. Stop it, stop it. Let's talk it over."
"What are you discussing? It's just a matter of splitting the money equally. If you wanted to, you would have agreed long ago. Do you think I'm a fool?"
The sect leaders started fighting, and the rest of the people from the two sects were not idle either, so they all came down and started fighting each other. For a while, the war broke out again, and it was very lively.
The other five sect leaders looked at each other. The leader of the Xuanling Sect whispered something to the other four, then threw a Qiankun bag into the formation. Zhong Ling'er took it and it contained exactly one million spirit stones.
Zhong Ling'er immediately understood what they meant. She smiled secretly and then quietly slipped a jade token out. After a while, an immortal suddenly appeared at the exit where the demon was born using the earth escape technique.
Time passed quietly. After the two major sects were persuaded to stop by the Tianyuan Sect, True Man Wuchen returned the one million spirit stones to the leader of the Chengqian Sect. Only then did they notice that there was one more person beside the Demon Mother, and the numbers on the scoreboard were still jumping.
Finally, when Chengqian Sect fell out of the top eight, the Sect Master of Chengqian Sect spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at Xuanling Sect, speechless.
At this time, he was facing not only the Xuanling Sect, but also the Yi Sect and other five sects in total. He didn't even have the idea of fighting to vent his anger.
"You have all fallen into Zhong Ling'er's trap of alienating each other!"
Indeed, everyone present could see that Zhong Ling'er was plotting to sow discord. It was an open conspiracy with no cover-up at all, but they knew they had been fooled. No, it couldn't be said that they had been fooled, because they all knew that Zhong Ling'er had only brought forward their conflict of interests.
Finally, the time for the competition to end came and the rankings were determined. The top eight were Taiqiong Immortal Sect, Li Sect, Xuan Sect, Divine Beast Clan, Buddhism, Tianyuan Sect, God King Palace, and Xuanling Sect.
Zhong Ling'er killed the skinny and pitiful demon mother with a single sword strike. After collecting the corpse and the demonic energy, she opened the formation and raised her hands high, shouting, "Cheers! We won! We defeated the demon. From now on, we can practice cultivation happily."
A burst of cheers rang out, and the eight major sects that obtained the rankings shouted with joy. Equally happy were the immortals guarding the Taiqiong Mirror. Who could have thought that they just held a big competition and actually destroyed the demon and brought peace to this plane.
No, it was not peaceful, because the leaders of two major sects snorted coldly, and instead of celebrating and cheering, they took their disciples to board the flying boat for the return journey.
Chengqing came to Zhong Ling'er and handed her the medicine bottle, then said, "I'm afraid the eight major sects won't let it go after they go back. Are you prepared?"
Zhong Ling'er smiled, "Their primary enemy is you, and then me."
"No, their primary enemy should be you, because you cause them the greatest losses."
Zhong Ling'er held her chin with her hand as if it were a gun, and thought seriously about what she had done. It was indeed quite hateful, but there were only two sects that left in anger, right?
Zhong Linger immediately invited the top eight sect masters and heads of sects, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the crisis of the demons in this plane has been resolved, but the harm they caused is still there. First of all, there are fewer than fifty small worlds that are naturally nurtured by the laws of the great way. We have more than thirty small worlds that can evolve."
“Everyone knows that it will take at least a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, for a new small world to develop and mature, and it must be constantly nurtured by immortal spirit energy. However, the immortal spirit energy in the immortal world is also very rare, including the immortal energy, which has become much thinner because of the demon.”
"According to the original rules of the competition, small worlds are selected based on rankings, which means that my Taiqiong Immortal Sect can give priority to selecting the ten largest and most mature small worlds. But in this way, the three sects behind will all have new small worlds, which is unfair."
"As you all know, my Taiqiong Immortal Sect has a unique place of ascension. So, in addition to the original God-forsaken Land, I will create a new small world and connect it directly to my sect's ascension land. I will divide the nine mature small worlds into three parts and replace them with the last three. I just need your help to nurture the immortal spirit needed for the new small world."
The last three sects were overjoyed to hear this, as it was equivalent to the Taiqiong Immortal Sect giving up its own benefits to them. The other sects also nodded repeatedly, thinking that although Zhong Ling'er liked to take advantage of small things, she was still very visionary when it came to big things.
Only Jiuwei and Bai Luochen looked at Zhong Ling'er in confusion, thinking that she was going to do something big.
