The Lingerie King’s Renown Chapter 70: An Impenetrable Barrier
Who dares to step forward and fight!
With a single shout, a mighty force swept across the surroundings.
Heaven and earth fell silent.
No one dared to answer!
Seeing that Luo Twelve had, in an instant, overwhelmed him in terms of momentum, Yi Han, the Grand Elder of Hidden Night Sanctuary, suddenly grew grim.
“Everyone, the Supreme Qi Induction Sect has colluded with evil demons—they do not deserve to live!” Yi Han raised his arm and called out.
“I will hold off Luo Twelve! The rest of you, join Hidden Night Sanctuary in attacking the Supreme Qi Induction Sect and wipe out these traitors to humanity!”
As soon as his words fell, he was the first to launch his attack at Luo Twelve.
The members of Hidden Night Sanctuary, led by the Second Elder, charged toward the great protective formation of the Supreme Qi Induction Sect.
Seeing this, the other factions also took action one after another.
They already had their excuses prepared; not to act now would be a waste. The more people joined in, the faster the protective formation would be broken. Then, they could rush in and seize the treasures!
Casually raising a hand to neutralize Yi Han’s attack, Luo Twelve rose into the air, glancing down at the crowd attacking the sect’s protective barrier below.
He paid them no mind.
The strength of the protective formation was far beyond what these people could imagine. Even if they managed to break through, there was still the Patriarch inside. If the Patriarch intervened, none of these intruders would escape!
Thus, Luo Twelve fought Yi Han without the slightest worry.
Warm Fragrance Pavilion.
To carve up the Supreme Qi Induction Sect, now in its death throes, countless powers of all sizes within the Northern Xuan Province had made their moves. Only the Warm Fragrance Pavilion remained unmoved.
In the council hall, the high-ranking members of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion were gathered.
Their debate now centered on whether they, too, should try to claim a share of the Supreme Qi Induction Sect’s spoils.
“There’s even a secret technique that lets someone leap from the peak of the Dao Inquiry Realm straight to the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm! In a sect that’s lasted nearly a hundred thousand years, there must be plenty more treasures!”
“That’s right, Pavilion Master! We can’t miss such a golden opportunity!”
“If we’re even a step too late, we’ll not only miss the meat, we may not even get a sip of soup.”
“Pavilion Master, we must act swiftly. With the strength of Warm Fragrance Pavilion, how much we take will be entirely up to us!”
Several elders turned their eyes to the same spot.
There, a handsome middle-aged man, dressed in a flamboyant coat of red, yellow, blue, and green, lounged lazily on the chief seat, one hand propping up his chin, the other draped carelessly.
This was Hua Lingluo, the Pavilion Master of Warm Fragrance Pavilion.
He was also Hua Manman’s elder brother.
He possessed cultivation at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
Listening to the elders’ urging, Hua Lingluo yawned, bored.
“Are you all done? If so, let me say a word or two.”
“Before she left, Manman told me: don't touch the Supreme Qi Induction Sect.”
“That’s all I have to say. If you have anything else, go ahead. If not, then let’s adjourn and get back to business.”
With that, Hua Lingluo closed his eyes to rest.
The elders below all cursed inwardly.
What a sister-obsessed master!
Everyone knew that, in their Pavilion Master’s heart, his sister was above all else.
If Hua Manman wanted a sect destroyed, Hua Lingluo would give the order. If she wanted someone supported, Hua Lingluo would give the order. In some people’s eyes, the true master of Warm Fragrance Pavilion was not Hua Lingluo, but Hua Manman herself.
And now, with Hua Lingluo’s word, no matter how anxious the elders were, they could only stare helplessly.
Such a fat piece of meat, and Warm Fragrance Pavilion was fated to miss out.
As for why Hua Manman forbade interference with the Supreme Qi Induction Sect, the elders had their suspicions.
It was all because of a fellow called Luo Xingchen, nicknamed the "King of Lingerie," who had partnered with Hua Manman to set up a lingerie factory within the Supreme Qi Induction Sect.
Just for such a trivial worldly business, Hua Manman insisted on such a promise...
Utterly improper!
And those so-called products of the lingerie factory—what indecent things! After women put them on, they became so alluring—did they want all men to die of exhaustion? Outrageous!
The elders, all discontented with Hua Manman’s actions, began plotting to speak with her upon her return—not to lose the great for the sake of the small.
Besides, perhaps nothing would be lost at all. The lingerie factory was already established and running for a long time. The absence of the "King of Lingerie" wouldn’t matter.
None of them lacked money, especially mundane currency, but if they could keep collecting money for free, who wouldn’t be happy? Who in the world would ever think they had too much money?
Just then, Hua Lingluo, who had been resting with closed eyes, suddenly opened them and leapt to his feet.
He took out a transmission jade from his robes, infused it with spiritual power, and a voice instantly rang out from within.
“Brother, bring as many people as you can to the Supreme Qi Induction Sect, the more the better!”
The message was not encrypted, so all the attending elders heard it too.
Everyone’s face lit up with delight.
Hua Lingluo did not hesitate in the slightest; he put away the jade and waved his hand decisively.
“Bring all the elite disciples—head to the Supreme Qi Induction Sect at once!”
“Pavilion Master, we’ll go gather everyone right away!”
Several elders dashed out, afraid that even a moment’s delay would cost them a share of the Supreme Qi Induction Sect’s resources.
Soon, a vast force from Warm Fragrance Pavilion assembled, and under the leadership of Pavilion Master Hua Lingluo and several elders, set out in grand procession.
News of this spread swiftly.
From that moment, apart from a few reclusive sects who rarely opened their gates or involved themselves in worldly affairs, almost every power in the Northern Xuan Province sent people to the Supreme Qi Induction Sect.
Perhaps they were all hoping to take a share of the spoils, or maybe just to watch the excitement. Regardless, the area around the sect was thronged with people and lively as never before.
Luo Twelve and Yi Han fought in the sky for a long while, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
Yi Han became more and more alarmed as the fight dragged on.
In truth, he had never intended to risk his life in this battle, but only to delay as much as possible. At their level, it was impossible for either side to be killed easily.
Yi Han’s original plan was to hold Luo Twelve off until his secret technique ran out.
Yet after all this time, Luo Twelve’s aura remained as robust as ever, with no sign of waning.
What sort of secret art allowed this old man to last so long!?
Yi Han cursed inwardly, his envy growing.
On the ground, a group led by Zhong Ming and Fang Wuhen, both great cultivators of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, attacked the protective formation of the Supreme Qi Induction Sect with all their might.
Ripples spread and trembled across the barrier, giving the impression it might shatter at any moment—yet no matter how hard they struck, it held firm!
It was exasperating.
“The Supreme Qi Induction Sect is really tough!”
“Who’s tough?”
“Their Sect Master, Luo Twelve!”
“I’d say the protective formation is just as tough.”
“So in the end, it’s the Supreme Qi Induction Sect that’s tough!”
“A centipede dies but never falls—how true those words are!”
Some, knowing their strength was lacking and coming only to watch the spectacle, began to chat as the stalemate dragged on.
“Seems the Supreme Qi Induction Sect isn’t as feeble as we thought.”
“True, but unfortunately they can only defend passively now. Apart from this Luo Twelve, no one else can even fight back.”
“It’s all due to a lack of top-tier power. If they had a few more Tribulation Crossing experts, or some at the highest realms, they could easily reverse the situation!”
“Heh, easier said than done. If that were the case, would these people dare attack the sect? They’d be hiding with their tails between their legs!”
“You have a point.”
“Breaking news! Warm Fragrance Pavilion is mobilizing all its elites, led by Pavilion Master Hua Lingluo and several elders!”
“So they couldn’t resist and are joining in?”
“Of course! With the resources of the Supreme Qi Induction Sect so tempting, it would be odd if Warm Fragrance Pavilion didn’t want a piece!”
“Their Pavilion Master, Hua Lingluo, is at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and several elders as well… Once they arrive, the tide will turn immediately.”
“Alas, the Supreme Qi Induction Sect… This giant that has stood in the Northern Xuan Province for nearly a hundred thousand years is finally destined to become history.”
“What a pity, what a shame.”
Many sighed, but they felt only a sense of regret, not sympathy for the Supreme Qi Induction Sect, and certainly no urge to help them.
The law of the jungle.
Weakness is a sin.
Fall behind, and you get beaten.
In their eyes, the Supreme Qi Induction Sect’s strength was far from enough, yet they occupied resources that made everyone envious. Their destruction seemed only natural.
Inside the gates of the Supreme Qi Induction Sect, every disciple wore a look of sorrow.
A stark contrast to their initial excitement.
They had once imagined that, someday, the Supreme Qi Induction Sect might vanish.
But they never thought that day would come so soon.
So soon that they were still mere junior cultivators within the sect, and far from mastering their arts.
Wang Zhengyu had emerged from closed-door cultivation.
Her power had reached the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
Upon leaving seclusion, she immediately learned of the crisis facing the sect.
She sought out Luo Xingchen at once.
“Senior Brother Luo, what should we do now? Are we really all going to die?”
“No way! I’ve just started my cultivation path—not long from now, I’ll be a Foundation Establishment expert, with half a foot into the ranks of Tribulation Crossing masters. How can I die now?”
She had a real nerve, claiming to be half a step from Tribulation Crossing.
But either way, Wang Zhengyu was panicking.
Her grand dreams had yet to be realized; she did not want to die so soon.
Even Tie Pipi could not help but feel anxious.
She knew something of Luo Xingchen’s abilities, but there were simply too many Tribulation Crossing experts outside!
Could her senior truly withstand such numbers?
If he could not, would she ever again enjoy the blissful days of eating, drinking, and sleeping as she pleased?
