213 Enemies Seeking Death (1/2)
All the high-ranking members of the Lion faction immediately met at the castle to plan and prepare for the final push. Chen Wentian, as He Xingping, was naturally here. Since he was an executive elder, he sat in the first row, directly opposite of the three immortals and the lord. Behind him were a crowd of over one hundred elders.
”Lord Father, my people have made great progress in just a week.” He Xinghan spoke, ”He Xuancai has made his way into the top one hundred and is currently ninety-ninth. That makes my third son in the rankings behind He Xuanzhi and He Xuanwu. They are all doing extremely well.”
He Zicheng nodded in approval but before he could say anything, Immortal Berserk Ox Ji Tiangu butted in.
”My lord, I have five disciples securely in the top one hundred. They are all in the top eighty and there is nothing can that dislodge them from their position!” The giant man declared loudly.
He then went on in great detail about each of the five and how they were giving it their all for the honor of the Lion faction.
”Good, let's keep it that way.” He Zicheng said and surveyed the room.
None of the executive elders and elders dared to say anything or boast about their accomplishments as there was one other immortal left who had not spoken up.
He Zicheng raised an eyebrow and looked over at Immortal Tempest Badger Qiu Chuyi. ”Chuyi, what about you? I noticed you've been very quiet.”
Qiu Chuyi gave a short bow, ”My lord, this one doesn't have many disciples so there isn't much to report. As you know, I have only one disciple in the rankings. Fortunately, Yang Cang was blessed with a modicum of talent and managed to reach rank five today.”
Several gasps and murmurs spread across the room. Rank five was incredibly impressive, as good a ranking as anyone could hope for. Apart from the two crazy witches of Ten Thousand Flower Valley, Yang Cang was only behind Pent Xiling of the Tower of Swords and Qu Jing of the Eagle faction.
Chen Wentian scratched his head and tried to recall any information he could about Yang Cang and Qu Jing. He didn't really know much since he did not deal with the younger generation. Qu Jing was the direct descendant of the Eagle Lord and also his personal disciple. No expense was spared in raising him to be a future Spirit Lord.
Chen Wentian inwardly smirked at his own disciples and their good fortune. Wu Qianyu continued to exceed all expectations and was dominating the field of Spirit Initiate Realm experts. Her pain affinity was perfectly suited for the battlefield and for slaying masses of monsters. As long as she did not suffer too many wounds, she could keep going and going like an unstoppable hurricane.
Long Yifei was equally blessed with heavenly beauty and raw power. Others might assume she was simply talented but he knew she was simply too special. Every second with her was amazing and left a lasting impression in his heart. He yearned to press her down beneath him and slowly investigate her mysterious power and her naked body bit by bit.
He wished he could be by their sides at this moment. Instead, he was stuck with these idiot beast lovers. Only a few more days were left, then it would finally be time to execute the plan…
The meeting continued with mostly the three immortals arguing. The lord didn't really have anyone in the competition but he had all the executive elders under his control as well as most of the elders. Each of the immortals argued for their disciples and a greater share of the resources. Although they all wanted to beat the Eagle faction, they also wanted to beat each other. In the end, all of the executive elders and elders were divided among the three and ordered to follow their orders and direction. All of their manpower and capital would temporarily be under the immortal's command.
He Xingping was assigned to Ji Tiangu and went into a side room with the immortal, two other executive elders, and over thirty elders. They mostly listened as the immortal gave out rapid orders and assignments. Once that was over, Ji Tiangu stopped He Xingping before he could leave with the others.
”Immortal Ji, what is it?” Chen Wentian asked politely once they were alone.
”He Xingping! Don't act stupid because I know you're not!” The giant man waved a finger at him, ”My precious granddaughter complained to me the other day. You still have not even met her or requested to meet with her parents. What are you doing? Do you want to shame her? Shame me?”
