Chapter 42: Your Smile is Too Ugly
“Me?”
Elder Huo Mo pointed at his nose with a look of disbelief. “I am the referee of this competition, how could I?”
“What about being a referee? Even if you are a referee, you are still a member of the Demon Saber Sect.” Chu Chen rolled his big eyes, giving him two big eye-rolls.
“Elder Huo Mo, you should go up too, lest people gossip,” Long Yufei said indifferently.
“Fine!”
Elder Huo Mo gritted his teeth, the anger in his heart was already at the point of eruption, but for the sake of the Sect Master and the others’ grand plan, he had to endure.
His body flashed, and he appeared in front of Chu Chen, looking down at this brat. Suppressing the urge to smash his head with a punch, he said coldly, “This Elder is at the Mid-Stage Martial Saint realm. I want to see if your Truth Talisman is effective or not.”
Truth Talismans also had different grades. The Truth Talismans used on those Martial Ancestor or Martial Venerable disciples before would certainly not be effective on Martial Saint level cultivators.
“As long as you let me stick it on, it will definitely work. If you resist, then it will be a bit troublesome. At least I’ll have to beat you up first,” Chu Chen said in a childish voice, with a serious face.
Beat me up?
Elder Huo Mo was amused by his anger.
Although this brat could suppress the demonized Liu Tian with talismans, he might not necessarily win in a real fight against a Peak Martial Venerable. It was just that Liu Tian’s demonic Qi was countered by this brat’s Light Talisman. Using the Light Talisman against other Peak Martial Venerables would have no effect.
And an Initial Stage Martial Saint could easily kill a Peak Martial Venerable, let alone himself, who was a Mid-Stage Martial Saint, much stronger than an Initial Stage Martial Saint.
This brat really thinks he’s invincible. He even wants to beat me up.
“Don’t smile. Your smile is too ugly.”
Chu Chen frowned, his chubby little face full of disgust.
The smile on Elder Huo Mo’s face froze, his chest heaved violently, and the anger in his eyes was about to turn into flames.
This damn brat, does he have to anger people to death every day to survive?
Chu Chen didn’t care about Elder Huo Mo’s feelings. He picked up a Truth Talisman and slapped it on.
Elder Huo Mo subconsciously wanted to fight back. His hand was already raised, and the True Qi in his body surged, making everyone feel suffocated.
“Hmm? You still want to resist?”
Chu Chen raised his little eyebrows, a trace of anger appearing on his chubby little face.
Elder Huo Mo’s mouth twitched. This was purely a subconscious reaction.
Chu Chen glanced at him, didn’t say anything, and prepared to continue sticking the talisman.
“Little Brother, wait a minute.”
Chu Xin suddenly called out to him. She took out another talisman from her Spatial Ring and slapped it on herself and her Little Brother Chu Chen.
Everyone present was stunned. What was this little girl doing? Why was she sticking talismans on herself?
“Big Sister, what are you doing?” Chu Chen was also puzzled.
Chu Xin leaned her little head close to Chu Chen’s ear and whispered, “Little Brother, what if he resists after we find the real culprit? We’ll have to beat them down ourselves. With our little arms and legs, it’ll be so tiring. Why don’t we first use the Sealing Talisman to seal the energy in their bodies, and then use the Restraint Talisman to restrain them?”
Chu Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay, okay, this is good, let’s do it this way.”
Although the siblings were not afraid of these guys, it would still be a bit troublesome to fight them.
Dad said, if you can solve it in other ways, don’t fight. Fighting is uncivilized.
Hmm? Was it uncivilized or something else?
Forget it, that’s the general idea anyway.
The people around only saw the siblings whispering to each other, but they couldn’t hear what they were saying.
Even Elder Huo Mo and the others used their Saint Sense to probe, but they couldn’t hear anything.
Obviously, the talisman that the little girl had just stuck on herself blocked the sound and even blocked Saint Sense.
These two little toddlers really have a lot of good stuff.
Elder Huo Mo was even more tempted, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
◈◈◈
After the siblings finished their discussion, they each took out a few talismans and said to the two Demon Saber Sect elders standing in front of them, “Don’t move, be good, just let us stick it on.”
With that, they slapped the two talismans on them with lightning speed.
Elder Huo Mo and the others thought they were Truth Talismans and did not resist.
It was not until the talismans were stuck on his body that Elder Huo Mo’s expression changed drastically.
“Damn brat, what did you do to me?”
Elder Huo Mo roared, his eyes filled with horror.
He felt that the True Qi in his body seemed to be sealed by some kind of law, and he couldn’t sense it at all.
Chains emerged from the talismans, binding him tightly, making him unable to move.
“Let me go.”
The other two elders also roared frantically. Only one elder reacted in time and dodged the talismans when they approached.
“Brats, you’re courting death.”
The Demon Saber Sect elder shouted angrily. A large black saber appeared from his body. The cold saber intent swept across the field, making everyone feel suffocated.
“Weren’t they supposed to be Truth Talismans? What did those two little toddlers do?”
“What a terrifying pressure. Is this the strength of a Martial Saint?”
Everyone present was shocked and discussed among themselves.
“Die!”
The elder roared. The Demon Saber slashed down towards the two children, instantly tearing through the void.
This saber was used with all his might, obviously not intending to let Chu Xin and her Little Brother live.
“Impudent!”
Long Yufei shouted delicately. She formed a hand seal, and the Provincial Governor’s Seal floating above the arena trembled. A beam of light formed from the power of fortune descended, enveloping the Demon Saber Sect elder.
The elder screamed, fell from the sky, and wisps of green smoke rose from his body.
The power of Lánzhōu’s fortune had an extraordinary suppressive effect on Lánzhōu cultivators.
This was also one of the reasons why cultivators did not dare to rebel against the government or the Nine Provinces Empire.
Of course, controlling the power of fortune also consumed a lot of True Qi and energy, and it required the bloodline of the Imperial Family.
The Provincial Governors of the Nine Provinces were all members of the Imperial Family.
Although this increased the empire’s control over the Nine Provinces, it also led to many Provincial Governors being insubordinate and even coveting the throne.
“Go!”
Chu Chen waved his chubby little hand. The Sealing Talisman and Restraint Talisman that had been knocked away by the elder flew through the air and slapped onto the elder’s body.
“Long Yufei, you said you would use Truth Talismans, why did you cheat?”
The elder roared frantically, “From the beginning, did you plan to take the opportunity to kill all the elders of my Demon Saber Sect? And even leave all the elders of the Three Great Powers behind?”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the elders from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Hegemon Sword Sect all changed.
Elder Huo Mo also looked at Long Yufei with a gloomy face and said coldly, “Provincial Governor Long, we need a reasonable explanation.”
Long Yufei glanced at Chu Xin and Chu Chen. Although she didn’t know why the siblings suddenly changed their minds, she didn’t blame them. She said indifferently, “Elder Huo Mo also said that Martial Saints are powerful, and Truth Talismans may not be effective. Therefore, I have to trouble the elders for a while. If the person is not among you, this official will personally apologize to the elders.”
