Chapter 786 - Conquer Huaxia
“I didn’t expect an individual of that level to exist in the Land of the Gods!”
The sect leader stroked his long beard and sighed.
“Exactly!”
The five people quickly said.
They had deliberately exaggerated their description of that guy so that they could explain why they were in such a sorry state. Otherwise, they would be ridiculed by their fellow cultivators.
The other people of Qingcheng had the same thoughts like them in the beginning, thinking that the Huaxia cultivation world was extremely backward.
“Then let’s quickly gather our fellow cultivators and go to the Land of the Gods to destroy that person! We can conquer Huaxia in one fell swoop and spread the might of Qingcheng!”
The sect leader stroked his long beard and said excitedly.
The disciples around him also shouted.
“Conquer the Land of the Gods!”
They raised their arms and shouted excitedly.
Being cooped up in the demi-world every day, they were already bored out of their minds. Conquering Huaxia would be fun! There might even be many beautiful women!
When the five people heard that, their faces turned green!
If they went out now, their lies would be exposed!
That guy was powerful, but he only relied on his formations. He did not seem very strong.
“Sect Leader, no! Absolutely not!”
The leader of the five shouted.
In an instant, the surrounding cheers stopped.
The sect leader was surprised and said, “Why not?”
“Because… Shu Mountain has also returned! If we go out now, we will run into Shu Mountain!” The leader said.
“Right!” The sect leader’s expression changed.
With Shu Mountain around, they wouldn’t be able to conquer the Land of the Gods!
The people around were stunned.
“Not only Shu Mountain, but also Sanqing and Kongtong! All of them have returned! The situation outside is quite chaotic, so we shouldn’t go out for now!”
“That makes sense! Then let’s wait and not go out for the time being.”
The sect master pondered for a while and made a decision.
The five people immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the people from the other hidden sects also found their way back to their demi-worlds after going through many hardships.
“There’s a freak in the Land of the Gods! He’s very powerful!”
“That freak beat up all the people from Shu Mountain!”
They conveyed the news to their respective sects.
For a moment, all the sects were shocked.
They found it hard to believe that such an individual existed in the Land of the Gods!
On the other side, the three Perfected Persons of Shu Mountain were suffering.
They had grown up in a demi-world and had never seen the world at large. They did not know how to navigate themselves.
They headed north and found themselves in Siberia. The cold wind confused them.
Then, they headed east and found themselves standing on a beach. They looked at the surging seawater and were confused again.
Eventually, they found their way back to the Shu lands.
Their clothes were tattered, and their hair was disheveled. They were not savages yet, but they looked like beggars.
When they entered the demi-world, the people of Shu Mountain were shocked.
‘Are they the elders of Shu Mountain?
‘Shouldn’t the people of Shu Mountain wear clothes that were white as snow and look elegant at all times? All those people look like beggars!’
“What happened to you guys? Did you meet some powerful people during your trip to the Land of the Gods?”
The sect leader of Shu Mountain arrived. His white clothes were fluttering in the wind, making him look like a deity. The other disciples were all dressed meticulously in white as well.
Standing together, the two sides made a stark contrast.
The three of them looked ashamed. They kneeled on the ground on one knee and cupped their fists, “Please punish us, Sect Leader!”
“Punish you for what?” The sect leader frowned and asked in a deep voice.
“We fell victim to an underhanded scheme, and we have tarnished the reputation of Shu Mountain in front of the other sects! We have truly let you and all of our fellow brothers down!”
“What?” The sect leader’s expression changed. “What exactly happened?”
Immediately, the three of them recounted what had happened.
“Outrageous! Tricking you with an Artifact formation? That person is truly cunning and shameless to the extreme. Despicable! Shameless!”
The sect leader’s eyes bulged in anger.
“That’s right! What’s the big deal about relying on Artifact formations? He probably picked them up from somewhere!”
The people of Shu mountain were extremely indignant.
“We can’t tolerate this, Sect Leader!” They shouted agitatedly.
Shu Mountain had always been the number one sect in the cultivation world. It was a great humiliation that they fell to a native’s scheme.
“That’s right! We can not tolerate this! We must avenge this grudge!” The sect leader said sternly.
Then, he flicked his sleeves and shouted, “Pass down my order. Immediately ring the bell and gather all the people of Shu Mountain. We’ll attack the Land of the Gods and conquer it!”
“All hail the Sect Leader!” The disciples cheered.
Then, they shouted in unison, “Conquer the Land of the Gods!”
Their cheers echoed throughout the demi-world.
Soon, the bell rang and echoed in the sky above the mountains.
People walked out from the mountains and valleys. They were all dressed in white and carried a long sword on their back.
“What’s going on?”
Some people looked confused.
“Ha! Big news! Do you remember the three elders that went out? They were tricked by a native and came back in a sorry state! The Sect Leader is so angry that he wants to kill that guy!
“Of course, he also wants to conquer the Land of the Gods!”
The person said smugly.
He could not help but show some disdain when the Land of the Gods was mentioned.
“What? That actually happened? Let’s go and kill those natives!”
The people became furious when they heard that.
Shu Mountain was the number one sect in the cultivation world. How dare a group of natives scheme against them?
When the news spread, the entire demi-world was in an uproar.
Everyone was agitated.
“What does that native look like? What’s his name? After we go out, we’ll kill him first, then conquer the Land of the Gods! Isn’t he some Clan Leader? Once he dies, the other natives might submit to us.”
The sect leader said in front of the mountain gate.
“Uh… I think his name is Tang Hao. He’s very famous in the secular world. We even have a photo of him!”
A Perfected Person took out a newspaper from his tattered sack and handed it over.
“What’s this?” The Sect Leader was stunned.
“This is a newspaper, and that is a photo. It’s quite amazing!”
“It’s indeed quite amazing. The picture is so lifelike! Huh? Is this the person you were talking about? Why is he so young?” The sect leader swept his gaze across and saw the photo of Tang Hao on the front page.
“He probably took some fantastic elixir that made him regress in age. He even pretends to be young! Look at the article in the newspaper. It says that he’s twenty-one years old.”
“Hahaha!”
All around, there was a burst of laughter.
“If he is twenty-one, then I’m only eighteen years old!”
The sect master clicked his tongue and said coldly, “He is indeed shameless! We shall perform justice on behalf of the heavens and eliminate him!”
After all the people gathered, the sect leader waved his arm and took the lead to step out of the demi-world.
Behind him, the people from Shu Mountain came out one after another.
