Chapter 29 Elder Wang's Evil Plan and Zheng Qiuyu's Response
The aftermath of the earth-shattering destruction of Danfeng has not yet dissipated.
In Elder Wang's cave, fear fermented for a whole night and eventually precipitated into a pool of thick venom.
Directly attack? That would be courting death.
That monster can wipe people out from the world in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a trace of their soul.
But who is he? The Qingyun Sect's Law Enforcement Elder!
He has plenty of rules.
The sect competition is coming soon.
An idea grew wildly in his bloodshot eyes, and twisted pleasure climbed up his pale face.
He couldn't kill the monster directly, but he could let everyone see clearly what it was.
He wants to lure the snake out of its hole.
…
The sect leader's summons came quickly and urgently.
Zheng Qiuyu stood in the main hall of Qingyun Sect and could clearly feel the gazes coming from all directions, like countless tiny needles piercing his skin.
There is awe, curiosity, and also some jealousy that can't be hidden.
The sect leader sat high up on it, his face solemn, his eyes fixed on the sea of clouds outside the hall, not looking at her.
"Elder Wang has suggested that your husband be allowed to participate in this sect competition."
The sound was not loud, but it made the hall quiet instantly.
"The reason is that divine power is rare in a century, and it should be a role model for the sect's disciples, inspiring them to strive for progress."
These words sounded high-sounding, but the invisible pressure, like a mountain, fell precisely on Zheng Qiuyu alone.
Elder Wang stood to one side, his chin slightly raised, and the wrinkles on his old face revealed a smug look of "let's see what you can do".
This is an open conspiracy.
How can a monster that can't even speak participate in a human competition?
If we don’t dare, all the previous “miracles” will be overshadowed and become a laughing stock.
If he dared, he had plenty of ways to make that monster lose control in public, exposing its evil nature. Then, without him having to do anything, the sect's gossip would nail Zheng Qiuyu and that monster to the pillar of shame.
Zheng Qiuyu lowered her eyelids, and her long eyelashes hid the cold light that flashed across her eyes.
trap?
No.
This is the stage she has been waiting for.
She raised her head, her face showing no fear at all, but rather a solemnity and determination after being questioned.
"metropolitan."
Her voice was cold and clear, echoing throughout the hall.
"Elder Wang is absolutely right."
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.
Even the sect leader cast a scrutinizing look at her.
The smug look on Elder Wang’s face froze.
Zheng Qiuyu took a step forward, her voice suddenly rising, and an invisible aura spread out from her.
【Word Spirit·Declaration】
"My husband has exhausted all his energy protecting this little girl, and he should be resting. But since the sect needs him and his fellow disciples are looking forward to him, he will display his divine power in front of everyone for the first time!"
She looked around at everyone, her eyes as sharp as a torch, as if they could ignite the air.
"This isn't a competition, it's a once-in-a-millennium event within the sect—"
"The power of God is revealed!"
The last four words, as if carrying the sound of metal and stone, exploded in the hall.
A conspiracy against her was instantly packaged into an opportunity and glory for the entire sect!
The sect leader looked at her, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
Elder Wang's expression had gone from stiff to ashen.
He felt that the trap he had carefully laid was kicked open by the other party, and then a gorgeous and dazzling stage was built on it in a grand manner.
He doesn't believe it!
He didn't believe Zheng Qiuyu could control that monster!
The rules, Xiaobi’s rules must be changed!
That night, Elder Wang mobilized all his connections and secretly modified the rules of the competition.
Each of the newly added clauses seems like a shackle tailor-made for Shaohuo.
Large-scale indiscriminate attacks are prohibited.
Add multiple barriers, and once the power overflows, the opponent will be declared the loser immediately.
His opponents were personally selected by him, and they were several elite inner disciples who were proficient in formations and sealing techniques.
He didn't want to defeat the Burning.
What he wanted was to trap him, irritate him, and drive him completely crazy in the struggle!
This revised jade slip of rules was quickly delivered to Danfeng.
In Zheng Qiuyu's cave, she casually placed the jade slip on the table, with the corners of her lips curled up.
【System analysis completed.】
[The core of the rule is 'trapping' rather than 'killing', greatly reducing the risk of the host being affected.]
[Vulnerability Marked: This rule provides the best environment for the "Protecting Wife" attribute to perform.]
Zheng Qiuyu's fingertips tapped lightly on the table.
Elder Wang thought he was on the third floor, but he didn't know that she was already standing on the fifth floor.
What she wanted was not the destructive power of burning fire.
What she wanted was Zhuo Huo's loyalty as a "son-in-law" who existed only for her.
In the next few days, Danfeng became extremely busy.
Zheng Qiuyu almost lived in the alchemy room, directing Elder Zhang Xuan to help her.
"Elder Zhang, the mist from this furnace of 'Blind Eye Pills' needs to be thick and white, giving off a fairy-like feeling. Do you understand?"
"I understand! I guarantee that after one dose, darkness will be completely obliterated, and auspicious light will emanate from it!" Elder Zhang Xuan patted his chest, full of energy. "And this 'Condensing Brilliance Pill' isn't for increasing power, but for making the Chaos Barrier surrounding Burning Fire appear even more... more sacred, even more dazzling."
"Understood! We must let that divine light blind everyone!"
Elder Zhang Xuan had complete faith in Zheng Qiuyu's decision, practically emptying Danfeng's inventory in full support. He even personally led a team, rallying all Danfeng disciples to cheer for the upcoming "Divine Power Manifestation," creating such a buzz that other branches of the sect took notice.
For a time, undercurrents surged within the Qingyun Sect.
Some people look forward to witnessing a miracle.
Some people were waiting to see Zheng Qiuyu fall from a high place and make a fool of himself.
Tianxing City, thousands of miles away.
On a luxurious building, a young man in brocade clothes was listening to his subordinates' reports.
"Qingyun Sect? Divine power manifested?"
Baili Fusu played with the glass cup in his hand, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"A third-rate sect, yet they're so arrogant. Go, send someone to deliver a gift and say we're from the Baili family of Tianxing City, hoping to broaden our horizons."
He just wanted to watch the fun.
However, he didn't expect that this excitement would involve him as well.
The night before the competition.
The moonlight is cold.
Zheng Qiuyu returned to the cave and came to the cold jade bed.
Zhuohuo was still sleeping, his face calm, and the love chain between his eyebrows was dim.
She leaned down, her breath blowing against his ear, her voice soft but with an unquestionable command.
【Word Spirit·Command】
"Husband."
"Tomorrow, many people will challenge me and question me."
"This is for the baby in our belly and for my glory."
"All you have to do is protect me."
She paused, and each word she spoke was clearly imprinted into his soul.
"Don't let anyone touch my hair."
The burning fire on the cold jade bed and the black chain between the eyebrows flashed a faint light imperceptibly.
As if silently confirming his mission.
