Chapter 472: Refining the Wind-Controlling Pill
“Congratulations on your victory in the ranking battle. In addition, this is also the first time the Crossing Sin Altar has won in the ranking battle. Speaking of which, I have to thank you.”
In the Blue Luan Hall, Feng Lian sat upright. She looked at Victor in front of her and could not help but feel happy.
The victory from yesterday seemed to be still vivid in her mind.
After the last move, He Qi was heavily injured and fainted. Victor was only slightly injured. The stronger one was immediately judged.
Hou Liangji had also accepted this.
After all, if it was him, he would not have had the confidence to receive Victor’s last move. Although He Qi was heavily injured, he was also an outstanding person. Therefore, Gongye Yuyu made an exception and also gave He Qi a reward. Everyone was happy.
As for the others, some of them thought that Victor was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Hence, they made a move. However, they had all underestimated Victor. In the end, they were all knocked over by Victor with one strike. Their demonic beasts did not even have the chance to make a move.
As for the first place reward, as Victor had expected, it was indeed the wind-controlling pill.
Of course, Victor had also exhausted a lot of energy during the day. Therefore, when he returned to the Golden Crow Hall, he fell asleep.
In the morning, he was woken up by the Three-legged Golden Crow’s chirping sound.
In the morning, the three beast kings finally arrived. Before they could even have a rest, they were dragged by the Three-legged Golden Crow and were told of Victor’s three world-changing sword strikes.
As expected, after hearing this, the three beast kings gave Victor a thumbs up and thought that Senior Feng Jiu was in safe hands. Regarding this, Victor only smiled and said nothing.
As for why he was in the Blue Luan Hall, it was mainly because Feng Lian had called him over and said that she had something to discuss with him, so he came.
In the end, after working for more than an hour in the Blue Luan Hall, Feng Lian still did not say what it was about and continued to talk nonsense. If it was not for Victor who was still immersed in the battle yesterday, he would have already quarreled with her.
“h.e.l.lo? h.e.l.lo!”
At the right time, Feng Lian pushed Victor to wake him up from his thoughts.
“I’m talking to you, are you listening to me?”
Feng Lian pouted and stared at Victor indignantly. However, her gaze did not contain any lethality. After looking at each other for a long time, Feng Lian blushed and turned her head.
“Sorry, I was a little distracted just now, what did you say?”
“I knew it! You don’t want to listen to me at all.”
Feng Lian ignored Victor and was throwing a tantrum. Victor ignored her as well. The two of them remained silent.
However, seeing that the beauty’s eyes were filled with tears, Victor could only compromise.
“It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”
“I’ll forgive you this time.” Feng Lian blinked and continued, “I mean, after this battle, I’m afraid your reputation has been established. Just yesterday alone, there were nine people who sent invitations to me and invited you to be a guest in other branches!”
“Nine? Why are there so many?”
Victor admitted that he was simply too impressive yesterday, but it was slightly exaggerated for nine altar masters to provide him with an opportunity at the same time.
“Yeah, I’m also a bit surprised. After all, no one knows what those old foxes are thinking.”
‘Hehe, if they are old foxes, aren’t you a little fox?’ Victor cursed in his heart, but his expression was calm as he said, “Help me reject them. Just say that I’m injured and my qi is in disorder. It’ll take some time to sort it out.”
“I’m fine with it. However, it’s very likely that they’re here to recruit you. Aren’t you tempted? Compared to my Crossing Sins Altar, it’s obvious that the Sacred Fire Altar and the Dark Altar are more suitable for your development.”
Hearing this, Victor pondered for a long time and nodded. “What you said makes sense. How about this? In a few days, I’ll personally discuss with the altar masters of the Sacred Fire Altar and the Dark Altar about changing jobs.”
When Feng Lian heard this, tears filled her eyes. She said pitifully, “Do you really want to leave that badly?”
“How could I? Aren’t you the one who wanted me to leave?”
“When did I say I wanted you to leave? If it’s possible, I want you to stay in the Demon Slaying division for the rest of your life!”
Feng Lian suddenly stood up and stared at Victor. Then, she came back to her senses and realized that what she just said was essentially a confession. She quickly changed her words and said, “Only that way, the Crossing Sins Altar will be ranked first every year. I, as the altar master, will feel honored.”
In response to this, Victor returned a meaningful smile.
‘Yes, yes, yes, you are doing this for the Crossing Sins Altar. You are the mightiest.’
Victor curled his lips and fell into deep thought.
Was his charm too great? Why did women want to sleep with him everywhere he went?
“Feng Lian, don’t worry. I won’t go to the other branches, but similarly, I won’t stay in the Crossing Sins Altar forever.
“It’s time for me to be honest with you. You should have some doubts about my ident.i.ty.
“With such strange powers and no connections, I can naturally understand why you would suspect me.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I have the ability to accept your feelings.
“You are the altar master of the Central Plains Sect Alliance’s Crossing Sins Altar, and I, without my ident.i.ty as Zhang Er, am just a homeless itinerant cultivator. To be honest, are you willing to abandon the Crossing Sins Altar that you painstakingly built for me?
“You must have guessed my ident.i.ty a long time ago, so I should be even more honest with you.
“When I sneaked into the Fire Sect, I met a girl too. She fell in love with me, but she did not leave because of my deception. I am very gratified.
“In this life, I am lucky to have three female confidants. However, I can accept them and they can accept me. This does not mean that you can accept them.
“My goal of coming to the Fire Sect is about to be achieved. There’s no reason for me to stay here.”
After saying this, Victor raised his head and looked directly into Feng Lian’s eyes. The latter’s face was already covered in tears.
“If… I mean, if I can become the reason for you to stay here…”
“Are you willing to leave with me?”
Victor did not wait for Feng Lian’s reply and slowly stood up.
Walking to the door, Victor turned his head around and said in a deep voice, “I will make a move during the deal between the Central Plains Sect Alliance and the Xiao family in a few days to seize the remnant soul. However, I will not take away the soul power. I will guarantee that the Central Plains Sect Alliance will be able to carry out the transaction with the Xiao family normally.
“This is my plan. Now that you have become an insider, I can understand if you want to leak this matter or pretend that you have never heard of it.”
With that, Victor stepped over the doorstep and left.
“What are they thinking about?”
Victor recalled carefully. This time, he really did not do anything against the rules. He could only use his charm to explain the situation.
However, Victor did not hate Feng Lian.
Everyone had a love for beauty. Victor liked Feng Lian’s heroic spirit.
However, that was still not a reason for Victor to stay.
