I became a villain and was harassed by beautiful girls

That tone, that expression...something must have happened!

At one time, almost all the people in the city gathered together.

They may not know what is going on between Liuyan Mountain and Xuanling Sect, but it is human nature to watch the show and eat melons. How can they not watch such an interesting thing?

After waiting for a while, Yan Yun, Yan Xiao and others came out.

"Fellow Daoist Tang Xin," Yan Yun said with a stiff face, "What do you mean by this? Do you want to disrupt the normal operation of our Liuyan Mountain? Or do you want to snatch the applicants from us?"

"That's not the case!"

Tang Xin spread his hands, then asked Yirou to hand over a box. After opening it, there was... a bunch of grapes inside.

"I just came here to give you some of Xuanling Sect's specialties," she introduced, "grapes that don't need to be spit out of the skin."

"..."

Yan Yun had no idea what she meant, so he had to order someone to accept the gift.

"In addition," she continued in front of many onlookers, "I really liked the exchanges and discussions in the market before. Your fighting style is refreshing."

"Thank you for the compliment..."

Yan Yun took a breath of cold air.

Oh no, this guy is here to “return a favor”!

Did she want to challenge herself again and earn some fame for Xuanling Sect?

"Brother, we don't have to agree," Yan Xiao reminded quietly beside him, "Just say we are busy and can't spare the time. If she insists, just say we can bring it up after the meeting!"

As the chief of a sect, Yan Yun naturally understood this truth. He adjusted his expression and spoke.

“Haha, if Brother Tang is not dedicated, you can come to Liuyan Mountain as a guest after the Ascension Conference is over. I will…”

"Okay," Tang Xin unexpectedly interrupted, "I'm not here to spar with you."

"What?"

Yan Yun just stood there in a daze.

Not coming to see him? Who else could he come to? After all, he was the chief. If he challenged the inner sect disciple, it would be embarrassing, right? It would be easier for them to refuse.

"The disciples are not diligent enough in their sparring," the Xuanling Sect's eldest sister smiled confidently and said slowly, "An elder is here."

"I would like to ask the elders of your sect to give me some advice... I believe that the Six Flame Mountain of a large sect will not refuse, right?"

Chapter 204: Delay, Delay

Challenge the Elders!

As a disciple, challenging the elders of the sect?

This isn't an unequal contest where a disciple from a large sect challenges an elder from a smaller sect. Xuanling Sect and Liuyan Mountain are sects of the same level, so their elders must at least be senior Jindan cultivators, right?

"you……"

Yan Yun was speechless for a moment.

Although the young cultivator who has just entered the Jindan stage and the senior Jindan elders all appear to be in the Jindan realm, their strengths vary greatly.

When he fought with the sect elders, he basically could not last more than twenty moves.

This Tang Xin...is she so confident?

"The elders of Liuyan Mountain will definitely give us some advice," Yirou, who was following behind the eldest sister, echoed, "Don't worry about our reputation. It would be best if they give us some advice in public!"

"Yes, don't worry about the difference in cultivation realm," Su Ling raised his arms and shouted, "The stronger you can come, the better! Yuanying stage, Zhanling stage, the stronger the better!"

"Ah, it's worthy of being a sect that has established friendly relations with the Xuanling Sect," Shui Qiu exclaimed loudly, "They treat their friends so attentively, what a great sect does!"

"You, you guys..."

Hearing these words, Yan Yun was so angry that he almost fainted.

You've said all the good things, right?

If they really sent an elder of the Soul Severing Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage, wouldn't they be accused of bullying the weak? Winning would be the norm, but losing... losing would be a huge loss of face!

Even if a Jindan-stage elder of the same realm won a complete victory, they would not gain any benefit at all.

What a good plan! What a good plan!

"As expected of the leader of Xuanling Sect," Yan Yun could only squeeze out the words from between his teeth, "He is truly resourceful..."

Several people from Xuanling Sect deliberately picked a crowded place in the official office and said such things, forcing Liuyan Mountain to respond.

Yan Yun had no choice but to send his disciples to inform the elders at the garrison.

"what?"

A Six Flame Mountain elder in the Jindan stage suddenly frowned.

Challenging the elders as a disciple, isn't this a clear sign of looking down on Liuyan Mountain? Do you think they are just some small sect?

Damn it, I have to give...

"Wait, is this a trick?"

Another elder who was at a higher level said.

There are two elders in the garrison, one is in the Jindan stage, responsible for the specific affairs of the Shengxian Kingdom, and the other is a Yuanying elder who came specially from the sect.

The latter called Yan Yun in and asked him the reason of the incident. The chief disciple did not dare to hide anything and told him everything that happened in the market.

"I defeated you," the Yuanying elder said in a deep voice, "Tang Xin can be said to be the strongest among the disciples of Xuanling Sect. She also participated in several operations last year. Maybe she had a fortuitous encounter at some point... But you only lost to her, which shows that her strength is still within a reasonable range."

"The disciple is useless."

Yan Yun said with cold sweat on his head.

It should be okay to say that I lost by a narrow margin. After all, I took a lot of his moves and was even suppressing him at the beginning...

"The other party's attitude is so arrogant, it's obvious that she doesn't take Liuyan Mountain seriously," said the Golden Core Elder, "Do you need me to teach her a lesson?"

This elder has the cultivation level of the fifth level of Golden Core and is experienced in combat. It can be said that he can easily deal with young cultivators who have just entered the Golden Core stage.

In his eyes, even if Tang Xin could defeat Yan Yun, he would not be able to last more than thirty moves.

"Well," the Yuanying elder who was in charge thought for a while and shook his head slowly, "It's meaningless. What's the use of winning? On the contrary, it will allow others to take advantage of this challenge and attract a lot of attention. It's a sure win."

"What about us?"

"Delay," the Yuanying elder replied confidently, "accept the provocation, and then use the venue, material preparation and other reasons to delay it for a few days. Wait until the Ascension Conference begins, and see if they still have the leisure to make small calculations."

"I understand," Yan Yun said, "If you want to drag it, then drag it hard!"

……

Liuyan Mountain accepted Xuanling Sect’s Tang Xin’s request for “guidance”!

Since they came to my door on their own initiative, I really can’t refuse them.

"Next, Liuyan Mountain will prepare a venue for fellow Daoist Tang Xin to benefit from, and at the same time, show Liuyan Mountain's unique skills to all the cultivators passing by. However, there is no suitable place in the city for them to be displayed, so it will take some time to renovate..."

"There are still many problems in the city that need to be solved. When we relax, Liuyan Mountain will let everyone see a skill display that is worth the trip..."

After several notices were sent out, there was no mention of a specific time, and the attitude of procrastination was obvious at a glance.

The people from Xuanling Sect had naturally anticipated this situation early on.

"How are the preparations going?"

Tang Xin asked the person next to him.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I have experience in this kind of thing," Fang Ling said confidently, "Businesses often use similar tactics when competing with other companies!"

The ultimate trick to drive people crazy...public opinion attack!

After the commotion caused by the Xuanling Sect, some rumors spread in the city at some point, saying that the chief of Liuyan Mountain was defeated miserably by the chief of the Xuanling Sect, causing them to not dare to go out to fight.

Others said that Liuyan Mountain deliberately delayed the competition because they were afraid that the leader of Xuanling Sect would defeat their elders.

What's more, some people say that the elder of Liuyan Mountain is weak and has kidney deficiency, and is a useless person.

Rumors like these are nothing to talk about normally, except for the first one, the other two are pure nonsense.

However, at this critical moment of recruiting applicants, the rumors suddenly became a little more reliable.

The rumor about the disastrous defeat of the chief of Liuyan Mountain was confirmed by a few cultivators who had just arrived at the Ascension Kingdom, and the location and time were clear.

Since the first item is true, the next two items...

"This is outrageous," the Golden Core Elder of Liuyan Mountain was furious, "Someone must be deliberately slandering us! I am very strong, when did I become weak and have kidney deficiency!"

"I didn't expect the leader of Xuanling Sect to be so clever," said the Yuanying elder with a frown, "Do you want to use public opinion to disintegrate our delaying tactics?"

"I've heard that the leader of Xuanling Sect is a versatile person. I thought she was only good at cultivation. I didn't expect that she also has such insights into the art of controlling people. I really underestimated her..."

Monks of this age usually focus on cultivation in order to gain greater power.

Tang Xin was able to devise a series of actions, from asking for advice to secretly manipulating public opinion. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as "scheming and full of tricks"...

"Do you want to deal with it?" asked the Jindan elder. "I'm afraid that the rumor will spread in two days and will have a bad impact on the recruitment of disciples."

"We really can't just ignore it..."

The Yuanying elder nodded.

I didn't expect this little girl to use unconventional methods to achieve her goals.

However, in the world of cultivation, strength is the foundation! Without strength, no matter how many strategies you have, they are useless!

"Well," the elder of Liuyan Mountain said expressionlessly, "Let her gain some attention... You go and give some pointers, and resolve this matter as soon as possible, and don't let the impact expand. Our mission is the Ascension Conference, so don't waste time on these juniors."

"Yes!"

Chapter 205: Guaranteeing Objectivity and Fairness in Commentary

In order to deal with the "false" rumors, the elders of Liuyan Mountain decided to formally come forward and accept the "guidance" request from the chief of Xuanling Sect.

It is very common for seniors to guide juniors in the world of cultivation, especially between large sects. Everyone knows each other and has more interactions, which is also beneficial for both sides to accumulate cultivation experience.

The idea of ​​the Six Flame Mountain Golden Core Elder was to end the battle quickly and decisively, without being polite to the Chief of the Xuanling Sect. He wanted to defeat her cleanly and make these people go back to where they came from.
