Chapter 501: A Strong Opponent
Su Yizhi looked at Ling Chuxi. Although he also felt much anger within, now was not the time to get angry. If the Su family lost, they would have to hand over their secretly inherited medical skills and the Qiu family would become the proper rulers of the sect. The Su family would have to either obey the Qiu family or otherwise be chased out of the sect, never to use the medical skills and martial arts techniques of the sect again. Naturally, they would also lose their footing. Therefore, no matter how angry he was, he had to hold it in. Since the other party had given such conditions, what was the reason for such insolence and lack of fear on their part? Could it be that the other party really had someone who had such abilities on their side? Then, what of the Su family? They only hoped and relied on Ling Chuxi. It all depended on Ling Chuxi’s attitude now. Thinking about all this, Su Yizhi looked at Ling Chuxi with a gaze mixed with worry and anticipation.
Ling Chuxi noticed Su Yizhi’s gaze and after making a few quick calculations in her mind, she nodded at him.
Ling Chuxi knew that she should not agree so easily as there was definitely a reason for Qiu Gaohe’s proposal to simultaneously have the pill refinement and martial arts competition at the same time. However, since he had brought it up so openly, he had definitely made it so that Su Yizhi would certainly find it hard to reject. Therefore, Ling Chuxi very directly accepted. In short, this time, it was not possible to avoid an all-encompassing fight.
Seeing Ling Chuxi nod, Qiu Gaohe was slightly surprised. He saw Su Yizhi sending a concerned glance over at Ling Chuxi and thought that she would reject the proposal as a result. However, he never expected that she would so readily agree to it. Could it be that this Ling Chuxi was truly so capable? That wasn’t quite possible, right? Qiu Gaohe sneered after his initial surprise. He felt that his side was definitely winning this time.
“All right then, just as you said, the pill refinement and martial arts competitions will be held simultaneously,” announced Su Yizhi after saw Ling Chuxi nod in agreement.
“Brother Su is very principled, I admire that. Actually, the reason I propose this is because I also wish to quickly acquire a decision as to who the rightful ruler of the sect should be in order to revive the sect sooner rather than later. If Brother Su did not agree to this condition and still wished for things to end in a draw like it always has in the past, leaving the Golden Pill Sect to remain scattered and without hope, then there would be no need for the Sword Pill Meeting to continue on either. The Su and Qiu families could just go our separate ways and walk our own respective paths if that was the case, don’t you agree? Hahaha!” said Qiu Gaohe with a guffaw.
‘Indeed! How despicable!’ scolded Ling Chuxi secretly in her heart. So, it turns out that Qiu Gaohe had long been prepared to put on a high hat and retreat from the Sword Pill Meeting, leading the Qiu family their own merry way away from the Su family if Su Yizhi did not agree to his condition. With Su Yizhi’s character, he would definitely not be willing to miss the opportunity to combine all three streams of skills in order to revive the sect. When it came down to it, if he was in agreement, he would agree, and even if he was not in agreement, he would still have to agree.
Naturally, even if Su Yizhi did not agree to this condition, resulting in both families parting ways unhappily, it was only a matter of time before the Qiu family forced the Su family to a dead end with the support of the Cold Moon Palace behind them. Therefore, the Su family had no path of retreat from this either.
“Then, Brother Su, let us begin,” announced Gao Qiuhe. Su Yizhi looked at Gao Qiuhe in despise. If it were not for the backing of Cold Moon Palace, it would not have been possible for Gao Qiuhe to have spoken such words.
Under everyone’s gaze, a young man walked to the center of the clearing from the Qiu family camp. His face was very white, so white that there appeared not to be the least bit of life in it. He walked very slowly, giving off a floaty, uncertain vibe. Although everyone could see him clearly, it was as if they could not feel his presence. If it were not for the broad daylight, people might have almost mistook him for a ghostly soul.
‘This person is not simple. He is a very strong opponent!’ thought Ling Chuxi to herself immediately, secretly raising her guard in her heart.
Ling Chuxi walked over to the center of the clearing as well, and the two opponents chose their pill furnaces respectively. They stood face to face against each other. The distance between them not too far, nor too near. Just right to launch an attack against the other party.
