Chapter 487: Chapter 147: Zhenyang Sect’s Scandal Spreads Across the World

Thunder Sword Sect.

Sect Leader Su Longxiang stood at the top of the Thunder Sword Tower, with his eldest disciple Ming Hu, Elders Huang Kezhou, and Su Qingfeng behind him.

Originally, there were three elders in the Thunder Sword Sect, besides Huang Kezhou and Su Qingfeng, there was also Xu Zhenqian.

These three not only had superior cultivation, but also worked well together, and were best at setting up formations to kill the enemy.

Their most glorious achievement was naturally ambushing and killing the Cyan Lotus Sect’s senior sister Chun Hongtang.

That battle made the Thunder Sword Sect’s reputation peak, almost overshadowing the influence of the Zhenyang Sect.

Later, in the battle at Celestial Ridge Mountain, the three elders and Su Hongling were all severely injured, and afterwards Xu Zhenqian went to Celestial Ridge Mountain to search for the Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic, dying under the Red Lotus Killing Array.

The Thunder Sword Sect’s strength was damaged, losing hope of surpassing the Zhenyang Sect.

Su Longxiang chose to lie low in Thunder Sword City, gathering strength and acting low-key.

However, a piece of news from a few days ago was so shocking that he had to come out of his closed cultivation.

Zhenyang Sect Elder Zheng Shengmo died at the hands of a demonic beast, and it was later learned that he had bullied junior female disciples, stolen achievements from disciples, and even fled in battle causing the death of dozens of junior disciples!

It is said that when a person dies, their light fades, but Zheng Shengmo greatly shocked the entire Hongzhou Continent after his death.

Zhenyang Sect, as the leader of the righteous path, had its highest-standing elder below the Sect Leader commit such beastly acts.

It is simply appalling!

Finally, Zheng Shengmo was sneak-attacked and killed by a seventh-grade demonic beast while assaulting a junior female disciple. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This is akin to dying on a woman’s belly, even the demonic beast found it laughable.

It’s truly...

"Too absurd!"

Behind Su Longxiang, Elder Su Qingfeng looked incredulous, while the other elder, Huang Kezhou, who was much younger, handsome, and strong, shook his head and sighed:

"Back when we besieged demons at Celestial Ridge Mountain, Zheng Shengmo was evasive and cowardly. We thought he was just cowardly, but never expected he would betray the righteous conscience like this!"

"Hehe, when it comes to lacking conscience, no one compares to you, Huang Kezhou. Back then, Chun Hongtang spared your life, yet you set a trap to kill her. Such ingratitude, how do you dare talk about others?"

Suddenly, a young woman carrying a large hammer walked over, disdainfully speaking to Huang Kezhou.

The woman had striking features, fiery red lips, a slender waist, and long legs. Aside from her flat chest, her appearance was perfect.

The large hammer on her shoulder was as tall as her shoulder and was entwined with lightning, seemingly even more powerful than in the Northern Wilderness.

She was the junior sister of the Thunder Sword Sect, Su Hongling.

Huang Kezhou’s face turned red with anger, glaring at Su Hongling with her shoulder-braced hammer:

"Junior Sister Su, I was ridding the world of evil, acting in righteousness!"

Years ago, when Huang Kezhou was just a steward disciple, he was ordered to infiltrate a village under Cyan Lotus Mountain to gather intel on the Demon Sect.

Not expecting to encounter a beast tide, Huang Kezhou nearly lost his life. Later, the Cyan Lotus Sect’s senior sister Chun Hongtang arrived, repelling the demonic beasts and saving Huang Kezhou.

Knowing he was a spy from the Thunder Sword Sect, Chun Hongtang spared him, considering his efforts to protect villagers from the demonic beasts.

Unexpectedly, years later, as an elder, Huang Kezhou, along with his sect mates, ambushed and killed Chun Hongtang personally.

The event shook the Eastern Cultivator, and Huang Kezhou became hailed as a hero for killing the demon.

But this ungrateful past was known only to a few in the Thunder Sword Sect, among them, Su Hongling.

She was straightforward, loved challenging strong individuals, and naturally despised Huang Kezhou’s treachery, casting him a disdainful glance:

"Can’t fight to save your life, but you’re first-class at self-promotion."

"You!"

"Enough!" Su Longxiang turned back, interrupting their quarrel, Huang Kezhou respectfully bowed to him, not daring to speak further.

Su Hongling clicked her tongue, "Dad, I was busy playing with my hammer, and you called me here just to talk about that Fatty Zheng’s lousy business?"

Su Longxiang laughed, "Zheng Shengmo’s actions have already brought Zhenyang Sect’s fame to its lowest point. At the Immortal Ascension Ceremony half a year from now, Hongling, if you can win, our Thunder Sword Sect can vie for the position of leader of the righteous path."

"Immortal Ascension Ceremony?" Su Hongling’s eyes lit up, "Yeah, I can enjoy a good fight again, hahaha!"

Ming Hu reminded from the side, "Junior Sister, we’ve received the Immortal Ascension missive. All major sects are sending people to West Imperial City in three days to discuss the rules of the Immortal Ascension Ceremony. The Sect Leader will personally attend, so you might not be able to fight without constraints."

Su Hongling curled her lips, "Fighting is fighting, why the need for rules? It’s just rubbish from you hypocrites!"

She even indirectly mocked her father, Su Longxiang, but everyone was used to her ways, so no one was surprised.

Su Longxiang wasn’t angry, he laughed and said to Su Hongling:

"Daughter, since you returned from the Northern Wilderness, your cultivation speed has increased significantly. Did you find some fortuitous encounter there?"

Su Hongling, carrying her hammer, picked her ear, "Yeah, I met a man, broke his body, and absorbed his essence."

"..."

The surroundings fell silent, Huang Kezhou and Su Qingfeng instinctively looked at Ming Hu. Everyone in the Thunder Sword Sect knew that Senior Brother Ming Hu had feelings for Su Hongling.

Moreover, Su Longxiang intended for Ming Hu to become his son-in-law.

But Su Hongling had always been unwilling, and she even ran away from home a few months ago because of this.

No one expected Su Hongling to find a man in the Northern Wilderness and give herself away.

The two looked at Ming Hu’s head, instinctively feeling like it had turned a shade of green.

Ming Hu’s mouth twitched, and the image of Su Hongling and the man named Qin Gengyun being intimate in the relic at Cloud Bamboo Mountain flashed through his mind again.

"Junior Sister, that Qin Gengyun already has a wife, you were deceived by him!"

"Qin Gengyun?" Hearing the name, everyone felt it was somewhat familiar.

Su Longxiang clapped his thigh, "Isn’t he the husband of Qiu Zhihe, the second on the Beauty Ranking?"

Su Hongling chuckled, "Yeah, Dad, I heard you wanted to make Qiu Zhihe my stepmother, right? But her husband is my man, so our relationship would be messed up!"

Everyone around was stunned and looked at Su Longxiang. They all knew he lost his wife early and hadn’t remarried for Su Hongling’s sake. No one expected him to, at his age, set his sights on a young woman from the Beauty Ranking.

Su Longxiang’s face flushed with anger, pointing at Su Hongling, "Ungrateful daughter, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Su Hongling clicked her tongue, "Too lazy to waste words with you. I’m going back to train. Don’t bother me unless it’s important!"

With that, her figure flashed, already out of the Thunder Sword Tower, leaving behind a burst of flowery fragrance from Su Longxiang.

Su Hongling, carrying her hammer, flew far before stopping, placing the hammer down and sitting on it, chin in hand, gazing at the moon in the sky.

"Xia Qinglian, both you and your husband should thank me. If I reveal your identity as Qiu Zhihe, Qin Gengyun will face the same fate as you, hunted by cultivators worldwide."

"Hehe, righteous path or demon sect, it all means nothing to me. I just want to have another good fight with you!"

"This time, I definitely won’t lose again!"
