Chapter 86

It seems to be the time for a counterattack; the top-ranked branch hall can obtain what others can only aspire to.

As a disciple of the Hundred Herbs Hall, Zhang Liang, besides gathering intelligence, also traded some spiritual herbs through his network of contacts. Recently, the demand for spiritual herbs and minerals from the Thunderlight Hall has surged, with the largest increase among all the branch halls, reportedly in preparation for the Hundred Treasures Hall Assembly.

Zhang Liang really couldn't understand the situation of the Thunderlight Hall. They won against the Hengshan Hall so unexpectedly, but overall, the main reason for Hengshan Hall's failure was their carelessness. The Hundred Treasures Hall Assembly is a time to showcase the strength of each hall, and it's not something that can be achieved by last-minute preparation. He really didn't know what kind of spectacle the Thunderlight Hall would create.

There were a lot of people from the Thunderlight Hall now.

"Over there, over there, don't be in a mess. Separate the pills, talismans, weapons, and so on," Zhou Qian said, directing a group of junior disciples to arrange the venue.

The position of the Thunderlight Hall was the worst, but it did not hinder the enthusiasm of the disciples. Unlike the other branch halls, which were calm, orderly, and proud, the Thunderlight Hall was like a bustling market.

Unburdened and free from the worthless inferiority complex, the Hundred Treasures Hall Assembly was like a festival for the disciples of the Thunderlight Hall.

"Senior Brother Zhou, shouldn't our talismans be a bit more forward?" a junior disciple said with a wink.

"You little rascal, give them to the physical cultivators. It's said that the Thunder Ancestor will come, and we need to have a spirit of sacrifice."

"Ah, when will we talisman cultivators also have an ancestor?"

"Waiting for you."

"Hehe, waiting for me is not as good as waiting for Senior Brother Zhou."

Everyone laughed, and Zhou Qian shook his head. He had really gotten into his role. Once on the bandit ship, it's hard to get off, and the most important thing was that he was enjoying it.

"Ah, where is Xiaojiang?"

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Liu went to gather intelligence on the other branch halls," a disciple said.

Zhou Qian was taken aback and shook his head helplessly. This was fine, clearly they were in the heat of passion. Liu Mei was also a top flower of the Thunderlight Hall, and no one could have imagined that she would actually like Zhang Xiaojiang, and even pursue him. It was speechless, the world had changed, and so had aesthetics.

Hu Jing smiled faintly when she heard this. She was happy for Zhang Xiaojiang. They were friends, but there was no such feeling between them. Zhang Xiaojiang's affection was more a result of being captivated by Hu Jing's elegance and kindness.

When Liu Mei bravely confessed, as Zhou Qian put it, it was a **, adulterous couple, and a raging storm that couldn't be stopped!

Before Hu Jing came, Liu Mei, though rough and straightforward, was very popular among the Thunderlight disciples and had many admirers, but nothing came of it.

Of course, Zhang Xiaojiang was not bad either. He was very well-liked, articulate, and capable. It was just that Liu Mei's pursuit of Zhang Xiaojiang was a bit hard to accept.

The Thunderlight Hall was as bustling as a market, but it did not affect the rhythm of the other branch halls. The Dao Guang Hall had the largest venue and the best position, right at the center of the entire assembly, while the other eight branch halls had to be arranged according to their ranks.

In the Holy Hall, or in the system of Holy Cultivators, ranking and status were extremely strict and important.

When the Dao Guang Hall was setting up, no disciples from other branch halls were allowed to watch. This was a rule, and it had been so for years.

At the Lingyin Hall, Li Tianyi watched his fellow disciples busily working while he played with a sword, which kept jumping between his fingertips. He couldn't understand why everyone was so concerned about the Hundred Treasures Hall Assembly.

Ming Ren, on the other hand, was helping the disciples move things. He was the eldest disciple of the Lingyin Hall, but if you didn't know him, you might mistake him for an ordinary disciple.

At the Feifeng Hall, it was already crowded even before they started. Why were the ones working all male disciples???

The Feifeng Hall was a branch hall of only female disciples. Where did these guys come from?

"Senior Sister, where should this go?"

"Senior Sister, can we put this here?"

The male cultivators were incredibly enthusiastic. It seemed they were more passionate about working for their hall than usual. It was strange, given their strength, they shouldn't be sweating so much, but they were all drenched, showing off their charm.

With the help of the enthusiastic male disciples, the Feifeng Hall was set up the fastest.

In the inner room, Yang Ying and the four golden flowers of the Feifeng Hall were discussing their plans for the next few days.

"The Hundred Herbs Hall and the Beast Taming Hall will hold auctions as usual. According to the information from Zhang Liang, there are some good items."

You Yiqing said.

"The Hundred Herbs Hall and the Beast Taming Hall do this every year, but they never really put out the best items. They just use inferior goods to fool us."

Shu Rou shook her head. "The Hundred Herbs Hall and the Beast Taming Hall should serve the entire Holy Hall, but now they are serving themselves."

The Immortal Mountain of the Hundred Herbs Hall and the Spirit Valley of the Beast Taming Hall were actually resources of the entire Holy Hall, but they gradually became the property of the branch halls. To be honest, the Thunderlight Hall wasn't that bad. Any branch hall with such resources could live off them.

Yang Ying smiled. "Don't complain. They have their own plans. The main hall has its reasons for recognizing this form. What we need to do is improve ourselves. From another perspective, the disciples of the Hundred Herbs Hall and the Beast Taming Hall have weaker combat abilities because they are burdened by these resources."

"Burdened? I wish I had such a burden," Wan Fanghua said.

"Fanghua, Senior Sister's point is that with such resources, the motivation to cultivate is reduced, and there is often laziness," Gao Dandan said with a smile.

"Hehe, Dandan is right. The Dao Guang Hall, the Lingyin Hall, and the Xianyuan Hall have always dominated the top three, but these three halls do not have resource advantages. Since the establishment of the nine branch halls, no hall with resource advantages has ever been the top hall."

Yang Ying said. In the history of the Holy Hall, besides the Dao Guang Hall, the Lingyin Hall, the Xianyuan Hall, the Thunderlight Hall, and the Feifeng Hall had all once been the top hall.

"Alas, the Thunderlight Hall has fallen too quickly and too severely," Gao Dandan said helplessly.

During the time of the Thunder Ancestor, the Thunderlight Hall was unparalleled, and all other branch halls had to step aside. The number of physical cultivators also became the largest in the Holy Hall, a symbol of invincibility.

Rise and fall are the laws of nature, but the Thunderlight Hall fell to the bottom.

"The Thunderlight Hall is about to hit rock bottom and bounce back," Yang Ying said. She was deeply impressed by the hall battle between the Thunderlight Hall and the Hengshan Hall.

"Senior Sister is very optimistic about Hu Jing, but she is still young, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future. The most critical issue is that the Thunderlight Hall's disciples are too thin," You Yiqing was still not optimistic.

Rebounding is not that easy.

"Reporting to all senior sisters, Liu Xinyu from the Dao Guang Hall has arrived," a female disciple of the bow cultivators said.

Yang Ying nodded. It was about time. As the top young cultivator, Ning Zhiyuan had this right.
