Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples

Chapter 213: Enemies Seeking Death

There were now only two weeks left until the end of the Monster Fighting Competition. The Lion and Eagle factions' rankings were almost similar so Immortal Lion of Fortitude He Zicheng laid down an emergency mandate. His faction had to beat the Eagle faction or there would be hell to pay. Every person that could be spared would be committed to the effort; this order was absolute!

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 modic.u.m 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.

Yang Cang was somewhat of a dark horse. Qiu Chuyi had hidden him away well and had only recently made his name known to the world in the monster fighting competition. There was no doubt the immortal was spending every resource possible on this disciple's ranking.

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 n.a.k.e.d 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?"

'This damn idiot' Chen Wentian cursed in his head.

"My esteemed immortal, I swear I have no such intentions!" He quickly bowed and said. "My wife just gave birth two weeks ago. It is also the final stretch of the monster fighting competition. Thus, I have not had a chance. Sir, after two weeks, I will definitely visit Miss Ji Yewen with an abundance of gifts."

Ji Tiangu stared at him with varying degrees of displeasure. Chen Wentian was sure the unreasonable man was thinking of various ways to squash him into meat paste. He did not let that threat or the oppressive aura get to him and remained firm and unafraid.

"Fine. I guess you still quite talented" The immortal finally stated, "Two weeks, not a day later."

"Of course, sir."

"There better be at least fifty thousand gold worth of betrothal gifts!"

"Absolutely."

Chen Wentian put on a fake smile but he was yelling insults in his mind. Fifty thousand gold? Who did this ox think his granddaughter was? She's just a slightly above average young lady of an immortal clan, she wasn't anything special. She wouldn't even qualify as his disciple!

"Also, one last thing." Ji Tiangu said, putting a heavy hand on He Xingping's shoulder in a menacing fashion.

"Little Yewen will be first wife. You can choose to have two first wives or equal status or whatever but she must be first wife. Do you understand?"

His voice was filled with immortal energy which radiated out and filled the room. He Xingping's body was instantly pressed down by the tyrannical force. His bones creaked and his muscles and nerves screamed in pain under the pressure. He gritted his teeth and stubbornly bore the punishment.

All he needed to do was nod in agreement but he refused to do so. Ji Tiangu's words were a clear and direct insult to his wife, Qiu Jinyi. He wasn't going to let that happen, not without a fight. He knew no matter what, Ji Tiangu would not kill him so he held on and resisted.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the pressure lifted.

Ji Tiangu angrily spat on the ground and glared hatefully, "You you're good You got some balls. Well? What do you have to say for yourself?"

Chen Wentian stood back up defiantly. He had a flat expression but inside; he was furious. The first target of the purge was originally He Xinghan but that overgrown kitten could wait. This stupid ox had to die first; he was simply seeking death.

He wiped blood from his lips and said slowly. "My lord I can assure you that I will treat your granddaughter fairly. However first wife is impossible for her while a daughter of the Qiu clan holds that position!"

"You fine Get out of my sight!"
