Chapter 6

In an instant, Heavenly Emperor Luo Poti suddenly made his move, overpowering the two sect leaders of the Devil Sect with his overwhelming demonic arts, his fierce aura dominating the scene, instantly stunning everyone present.

Not only were the two who had just engaged in combat extremely shocked and surprised, but even the other sect leaders seated at the inner table felt a sudden pressure.

At this moment, Heavenly Emperor's face was dark, green qi swirling around him, clearly indicating that he had just exerted his demonic arts to a profound degree. He thought to himself: These bastards, not one of them wants this gathering to succeed. If I don't show some heaven-defying skills, they'll really think I'm easy to bully.

Feeling the unease of the Blood Sect and Flower Sect leaders, the Moon Sect leader, "Yin Empress" Ji Ruoyan, hesitated in her heart: Heavenly Emperor Luo Poti is so domineering; being confrontational in front of him is not a wise move. After some consideration, Ji Ruoyan decided to smooth things over.

Ji Ruoyan was dressed in luxurious attire, her head covered with a light veil, appearing as if the Bodhisattva Guanyin had descended. She then said calmly, "I didn't expect that after ten years, Brother Luo's [Reversing Yin-Yang Tyrannical Devil Art] has become even more profound. I am truly in awe—"

As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the side, picking up where she left off.

"Hahaha, Sect Leader Ji is absolutely right. I congratulate Brother Luo on his significant improvement," said a red-robed man who had been sitting and watching the conflict from the sidelines.

This red-robed man was the Fire Sect leader, over forty years old, balding, with a rough and rugged face, slanted eyebrows, and a full beard... These were not his most distinctive features. The most distinctive feature was his hair, whether it be his hair, eyebrows, beard, or even chest hair, all of which were fiery red. Coupled with his fiery red robe, he looked like a blazing flame, and even his voice seemed to carry a fiery hiss.

The red-robed man had originally intended to stay out of the matter and just enjoy the show, but he never expected that after ten years, Luo Poti's martial arts had advanced to such a degree, making him the implicit top expert of the Devil Sect.

Of the nine people at the table, all used wine cups, except for this Fire Sect leader, who used a wine jar.

The red-robed man picked up the wine jar beside him, took a hearty drink, and said proudly, "We have been here for several days, and it is rare for Brother Luo to treat us so well. I am deeply moved. But as Brother Flower said, the Holy Sect's ten sects have been reduced to nine, and the Holy Sect is in decline. What advice does Brother Luo have? Why not speak your mind?"

"Good, Brother Wu is straightforward—"

Heavenly Emperor scanned the crowd, seeing that no one objected, and said proudly, "The Holy Sect has been in decline since the battle on Lingxiao Mountain two hundred years ago. After the death of the Holy Master, the sect split into ten sects. To this day, the Hidden Sect has not been seen in the world for over a hundred years. Now, on the main line, only the Sun, Moon, Star, Wind, Fire, Flower, Poison, Ghost, and nine sects remain. The secondary lines, 'Fireyang,' 'Juejue,' 'Evil Gang,' and 'Dark Li,' are just a few dozen sects barely surviving... I think you have all been in desolate mountains and barren valleys for long enough. Why not reunite the nine sects and challenge the so-called righteous martial world, to restore the glory of our Holy Sect?"

Heavenly Emperor, excited, stood up and raised his arm, shouting wildly.

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the Devil Sect members became agitated, shouting loudly.

"Right, we have been enduring for too long..."

"We should reunite and challenge those hypocrites..."

"Challenge them!"

"Revenge our blood feud!"

"Kill all the righteous people—"

...

At this moment, a cold voice drifted in, not loud, but it completely drowned out the deafening noise in the hall.

"Reuniting the Holy Sect is feasible, but who will take the position of Holy Master? Furthermore, the righteous martial world is now full of experts. 'The First Sword in the World' Li Muchan will not stand idly by, and the two secret sects, 'Lingyun Palace' and 'Fengyi Pavilion,' have several [Void Return Realm] experts. Can Brother Luo deal with one or both of them?"

Heavenly Emperor Luo Poti's eyes narrowed, and he stared deeply at the green-robed scholar sitting at the end of the right side, saying coldly, "According to Brother Dongfang, who should take the position of Holy Master? Perhaps Brother Dongfang of the Wind Sect should take the position. Brother Dongfang is a genius, with unparalleled wisdom. The position of Holy Master is most suitable for you—"

The green-robed scholar laughed loudly, closed his fan, and wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes, gasping for breath, and said, "Brother Luo, you are mistaken..."

"Oh? I would like to hear your reasoning."

"Although I am the leader of a sect, I admit that my martial arts are far inferior to Li Muchan. Not to mention Li Muchan, even the top twenty experts on the 'Heavenly Absolute List,' I cannot match them. How can I dare to covet the position of Holy Master?"

"Then what do you suggest?"

"If it were up to me, I would be content with a few books and a few beauties for company. Even in desolate mountains and barren valleys, I would be happy and carefree. Why should I vie for a fleeting reputation and risk my life?"

After saying this, the green-robed scholar looked around leisurely, showing no shame for his fear of death, but rather playing with the attendant girls with a smile.

The green-robed scholar ignored Heavenly Emperor Luo Poti, deliberately making him lose face in front of the crowd, and even played with Luo Poti's concubine in front of everyone.

He secretly used his inner strength, curling his little finger, and with a turn of his true qi, the handkerchief of a beautiful woman beside him was gently pulled.

These attendants were not ordinary attendants but concubines of Heavenly Emperor Luo Poti.

The green-robed scholar, knowing this, still flaunted his charm, clearly not taking Luo Poti seriously.

The concubine, seeing the green-robed scholar's charm and captivating demeanor, could not help but cover her mouth and giggle, completely unaware of the dark and cold look in Heavenly Emperor Luo Poti's eyes.

"Ridiculous!"

A fierce shout echoed through the hall, stunning everyone.

The woman who had giggled felt a sudden heaviness in her heart, losing all her strength, unable to mobilize any inner strength. At the same time, her heart felt as if it were being squeezed, and she immediately collapsed, unable to move.

The green-robed scholar, as if he had not heard, leisurely fanned himself, neither stopping nor showing any regret, but rather smiling with a mischievous look, waiting to see the show.

Indeed, this behavior made Heavenly Emperor even more furious.

He shouted angrily, "Wretch, how dare you be so disrespectful? I am hosting a banquet for the heroes here, who allowed you to act so frivolously and shamelessly? You are disgracing our sect and inviting ridicule."

The beautiful concubine, terrified, fell to the ground, trembling like a leaf, and said in a trembling voice, "I know my fault, Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life..."

This beauty knew that everyone present was a sect leader and a great hero of the Devil Sect, so she did not dare to accuse the green-robed scholar of initiating the provocation. She only hoped that this charming and affectionate young master would speak up for her and save her life.

Unfortunately, this beauty underestimated the cold and ruthless nature of the Devil Sect.

The green-robed scholar continued to fan himself, looking leisurely, not even turning his head, completely ignoring the beauty's pleading eyes. This green-robed scholar had never had any good intentions. Knowing that Luo Poti was jealous, he had deliberately provoked the concubine from the start to irritate Heavenly Emperor Luo Poti. At this moment, the concubine, no matter how beautiful or captivating, was merely a pawn in the green-robed scholar's hand.

Once the pawn was in play, the rest depended on the opponent's performance.

As for the pawn? Who could care about its life or death?

"Bring her out—"

"Yes!"

"Drag her out—"

"遵命！！"

Two bare-chested, burly men dragged the pleading concubine away, her desperate cries of mercy made everyone in the hall feel uneasy.

Heavenly Emperor Luo Poti's expression changed, and he laughed, saying, "Gentlemen, I apologize for my poor management, adding to the laughter. I will punish myself with a cup of wine..."

He drained the wine from the copper cup, wiped the wine from his mustache, and the unpleasantness seemed to have never happened. He still smiled warmly, speaking kindly to the green-robed scholar, not at all offended by the other's rudeness.

This made the Wind Sect leader, Dongfang Ming, who had been hoping to see Luo Poti's embarrassment, feel a chill down his spine.

"Brother Dongfang just said that he is not a match for the righteous martial world's experts. I think this is too modest. Brother Dongfang's [Condensing Wind Nineteen Transformations] is a supreme skill, not inferior to any divine art. If Brother Dongfang can make a breakthrough in martial arts, he could match the top ten experts on the 'Heavenly Absolute List.'"

The green-robed scholar smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm, and said, "I have been stuck at the [Heavenly Origin Realm] for over twenty years, with no improvement in my skills. If Brother Luo can help me reach the [Void Return Realm], then challenging those hypocrites would not be impossible. However..."

At this point, the green-robed scholar's face fell, and he fell silent.
