Chapter 72 – Everyone shouts to beat him
Who is it!?
Lin Hao was puzzled. Who silently broke his disguise technique?
Upon hearing the name Lin Hao, the disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect all turned their heads.
"Ah, it's really this scoundrel."
"Damn you, how dare you show your face? You still have the nerve to come out!?"
"You colluded with demons, causing chaos twice. My Dao Companion was lost because of you! I can't take revenge within the sect..."
A cultivator in green robes spoke with eyes blazing with anger.
"It's a great misfortune for the sect to have someone like you, enjoying the sect's cultivation resources yet committing such disgraceful acts. Do you have any shame left, Lin Hao? If I were you, I'd kneel and commit suicide to atone."
"What's there to say to such a scoundrel? He's going to participate in the Demon Beast Hunting Competition anyway. We'll just rob him every time we see him!"
The crowd was furious, all condemning Lin Hao, but he didn't care.
After Shui Ling'er's guidance, he had already come to terms with it.
There's no need to reason with these people; he needed to conquer them with his fists!
He didn't mind having a big fight with the hecklers here.
Lin Hao's disguise technique was broken by Liu Mei, the leading elder, who just wanted to tease the boy.
Unexpectedly, it led to him being besieged.
Seeing the internal conflict about to erupt, Liu Mei quickly intervened.
"A bunch of fools, only knowing how to fight among yourselves. Go compete with other sects! What good is it to besiege your fellow disciples here, other than making others laugh at you?"
After the leading elder spoke, those condemning Lin Hao quieted down.
"All of you, behave yourselves and come get your talismans."
"These are for saving your lives, you little brats!"
"As long as you use them, elders from various sects will come to your rescue."
"Of course, once rescued, you'll lose your competition qualification."
After distributing the talismans, Liu Mei contacted Murong Qinxue to inform her that preparations were complete.
The latter, as the general manager of this Demon Beast Hunting Competition, was about to speak and announce the start of the competition.
But then, a flying boat appeared in the sky, rapidly approaching.
Who could it be?
Everyone was puzzled.
All the righteous sects' personnel had already arrived.
Who would come at this time?
Soon, a boat resembling a painted barge hovered in mid-air, and two teams of beautiful women in light, gauzy clothing descended, stepping on flower petals as if welcoming some esteemed person off the boat.
"Meng Qin!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Murong Qinxue's beautiful eyes.
Why would the peak master of the Hehuan Sect come here?
As soon as Meng Qin descended, countless flower petals danced in the air, not to mention the bees and butterflies flitting through the sea of flowers.
What a beautiful woman... no... what an enticing enchantress.
Indeed, Lin Hao sensed a faint demonic aura from the beautiful woman.
This ruler of the Hehuan Sect was actually of Demon Clan origin!
Of course, for a great demon with such cultivation, concealing her demonic aura was not difficult.
This woman was so open about it, showing that the Hehuan Sect's rules were lax and unconcerned with worldly opinions.
Lin Hao immediately understood why the Hehuan Sect, which hadn't committed any heinous acts, couldn't be considered a righteous sect.
It was because the sect accepted disciples regardless of character or race, focusing only on talent.
This demoness's peerless beauty seemed capable of captivating souls.
Lin Hao only glanced at her and felt himself being drawn in.
He quickly bit his tongue to regain clarity.
He was filled with astonishment; this woman's charm techniques were incredibly powerful, able to ensnare people without them realizing it.
Upon closer inspection, this beautiful woman wasn't as pretty as Feng Cangyue and was on par with Murong Qinxue.
But under the influence of her charm techniques, one would only think she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Meng Qin, what is your intention?"
Murong Qinxue flicked her jade finger, and a giant ice dragon circled in the sky, roaring and waking everyone from the charm-induced trance.
Meng Qin walked over gracefully.
"Qinxue, I'm here for the demon hunt, of course."
Murong Qinxue frowned slightly. The Hehuan Sect was neither entirely righteous nor evil and wasn't welcomed by the righteous sects, so they weren't invited to the competition. Who knew they would come uninvited?
However... the more people to eliminate demons, the better.
"Since you're here to hunt demons, on behalf of the Xuan Yin Sect, I welcome you."
Meng Qin smiled, making all the beautiful female cultivators present lose their luster.
"Qinxue, I've only brought one disciple with me."
"Qingcheng, come down."
As soon as she spoke, everyone was shocked.
Gu Qingcheng!
This beautiful woman was actually the master of Fairy Gu!
Before the person even descended, a fragrance wafted from the boat, like an aphrodisiac, causing all the male cultivators present to blush and stand at attention.
Two breaths later.
A young woman gracefully descended from the boat.
The flower petals and butterflies were no less than those of Meng Qin.
Lin Hao's gaze was instantly captivated.
Her eyebrows were like smoke, her eyes full of emotion, her face delicate and tender, with a hint of a smile in her dimples.
Her face was unadorned, yet she outshone snow, her skin so tender it seemed water could be squeezed from it.
Dressed in a purple gown, her shoulders were slender, her waist like a bundle of silk, her graceful figure favored by the heavens.
Beautiful... truly beautiful.
Before the woman descended, Lin Hao had used a clarity talisman on himself, worried about being ensnared.
But even so, he was still stunned by the woman's beauty.
Lost in the illusion, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
Gu Qingcheng was indeed extremely beautiful.
Compared to her, Li Jinghong, who was on the list of peerless beauties, seemed dimmer.
Murong Qinxue, with her profound cultivation and being a woman, naturally wasn't affected by Gu Qingcheng's beauty, though she inwardly cursed her as a troublemaker.
Despite her inner curse, she maintained a smiling facade.
"Daoist Meng's beloved disciple participating in the competition will surely inspire the disciples of all sects and add prestige to the competition."
Indeed, it would be inspiring.
Lin Hao glanced at the male cultivators around him, who were still lost in the woman's beauty.
It seemed Uncle Murong would have to cast another spell to awaken these guys with the ice dragon.
Seeing the disciples' state, Murong Qinxue cursed them inwardly as useless and reluctantly cast the ice dragon spell, waking everyone up.
With all the sects' disciples gathered, Murong Qinxue's gaze swept around, finally landing on Lin Hao.
Then she began her speech:
"Today, we welcome a grand event in the cultivation world—the Demon Beast Hunting Competition!
Here, I want to call on all disciples: fully utilize your skills and knowledge, and slay as many demons as possible!
I believe you have all trained diligently, accumulating rich experience and skills. Now, just unleash your strength, and you can shine in the Demon Beast Hunting Competition!
Finally, I wish every disciple gains and grows from this competition, contributing to our righteous Immortal Path!"
"I hereby announce the start of the Demon Beast Hunting Competition!"
As her words fell, the disciples of all sects charged into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains like wild horses freed from their reins.
