180: Renamed: Underworld Club!
Chapter 180: Renaming: Underworld Club!
Under Wu Xian's various subtle hints, Xue Lingling's eyes continuously brightened.
She seemed to have entered a new world, gazing at her obedient disciple's face. Her Yin-style makeup gradually revealed an expression of adoration and obsession.
After a long while, Xue Lingling suddenly snapped back to reality.
Wait a minute, she was the Master. How did it feel like she had suddenly become the disciple's "disciple"?
"Ahem, about that..." Xue Lingling quickly adopted the posture of a Master. "Although the knowledgeable are teachers, you did acknowledge me as your Master first, so you will always be my obedient disciple."
Wu Xian chuckled, naturally not caring about such things. "We're just exploring together and making progress together."
"Hehe, as expected of my obedient disciple," Xue Lingling said, feeling satisfied. She looked at her obedient disciple and recalled the surge of inspiration in her mind, then couldn't help but exclaim, "How did I have such good foresight?"
One sentence: It's all thanks to me.
What if she wasn't as good as her disciple?
If her disciple could surpass her, wouldn't that further prove how amazing she, the Master, was?
As the saying goes, a thousand-mile horse is common, but a Bole is not.
I am truly a good Bole, hehe.
Xue Zhengying, who had been listening for a while, was already dozing off and had quietly left the room to avoid disturbing the two Scroll Masters in their discussion of the Dao.
"By the way, are all these ideas of yours derived from my Xue Family's Legacy?"
"You could say so," Wu Xian chuckled.
Xue Lingling continued to enthusiastically discuss with Wu Xian, seemingly wanting to extract more information from her obedient disciple.
For some reason, she always felt that her obedient disciple was hiding a lot more.
Time unconsciously passed, and it was already the next morning.
Xue Lingling still looked as if she hadn't had enough, full of emotion. "Speaking of which, shouldn't our Club be renamed?"
"Renamed?" Wu Xian was stunned.
"Let's just call it the Underworld Club," Xue Lingling's eyes burned. "In the future, you and I, Master and disciple, will work together to change the Undead Divine Domain into the Netherworld Divine Realm. How about it? Do you have confidence?"
Wu Xian was noncommittal. "By the way, Shifu-jie, how can one be admitted into the Undead Divine Domain?"
"That involves the selection and competition within the Dojo, and according to the rules set by the major families, Scroll Masters representing the former founding families have even higher standards for entering the Divine Realm," Xue Lingling said with a smile.
"That's disgusting?" Wu Xian frowned.
"Although it smacks of making things difficult, it's also understandable," Xue Lingling said. "After all, founding Family Scroll Masters inherently have Divine Realm access. If they don't have a high enough Rank and skill, it's easy to make the Divine Realm a mess."
Wu Xian understood. "What are the specific standards? When can we break in?"
"According to my original plan, raising the current three Ghost Emperors to gold scroll would be enough," Xue Lingling mused. "But now, I want to create a [Ghost Emperor] first. Then I'll give those families a big surprise and blind their dog eyes."
Tsk tsk, just thinking about it made her unable to contain her excitement.
Later, she went with Xue Lingling to the Association to rename the Club... The promotion battlefield competition yesterday had clearly become a hot topic among the people of Yaoyang City.
In particular, the live stream clips of [King Qinguang]'s appearance spread at an alarming rate.
Even the provincial capital was startled by this video, and the name Ghost King Club thus left Yaoyang City and officially began to go "global."
Within Tianfeng Province, major cities and Clubs also began to pay close attention to this obscure, emerging Club.
And sure enough, even the Provincial Scroll Artist Association was alarmed.
Vice President Huang watched the live stream clip over and over again, deeply shaken.
Originally, he just wanted to check on his daughter's performance in Yaoyang City, but he was ultimately deeply attracted by Wu Xian's [King Qinguang], long forgetting that he had a daughter "suffering" in Yaoyang City.
Having toiled for most of his life, he considered himself to have some reputation and Dao in the Scroll Master world.
But now, he was deeply struck by Wu Xian, this grassroots Genius.
"How wonderful would it be if such an excellent Genius could come to the Association?"
...Tianfeng Province, Holy City Dongfeng City.
In the Divine Dog Club, several Club members who happened to see the video immediately reported it to their great Chairman Wang.
Chairman Wang, who had been gloomy for the past few days, instantly became energetic and gnashed his teeth the moment he saw Wu Xian in the video.
"Good, so it's that little brat from that rotten place, Yaoyang City. Ghost King Club, is it?"
A subordinate next to him corrected, "I heard it's already been renamed the [Underworld Club]."
"Who cares what Club it is, he stole my treasure, I'll make him wish he were dead—!" Chairman Wang's face was ferocious. "Go, gather some men, I'm going to grind that brat to dust!"
"Ah?" The Club subordinate didn't quite understand.
It was just a gold scroll artifact, was it that important?
"If I tell you to go, then go. Where's all this nonsense coming from?" Chairman Wang coldly reprimanded.
"Okay, I'll go gather the men now."
Watching his subordinate leave, Chairman Wang snorted coldly, "It seems the training isn't rigorous enough yet. I'll have to increase the intensity later."
...Undead Dojo.
Zhao Qinghe, still recovering from his injuries, had slunk back home, his heart full of hatred for the Xue Family.
This time, he was determined to gather the Family elders and completely nip the Xue Family in the bud.
However, after his father, Zhao Gao, learned the whole story, he directly kicked him. "Useless idiot, who told you to go to Yaoyang City to target that girl Xue Lingling? That girl is, after all, a Scroll Master of my Undead Dojo.
If the other families found out about this, do you know how much trouble it would cause?"
"Father, why are you doing this? Isn't your son also doing this for our Zhao Family?" Zhao Qinghe said with a tearful face, not understanding.
"You understand nothing," Zhao Gao said, stroking his beard and glaring. "Don't I know the threat of the Xue Family? Don't the other families know?"
"Ah?" Zhao Qinghe was confused. "Then why not resolve this trouble sooner? I think the other families would also be very willing to team up with us."
"If it were that simple, how could the Xue Family have survived until now?"
Then, under his father Zhao Gao's explanation, Zhao Qinghe finally learned that all the founding families held a "self-destruct device."
Crucially, the Xue Family's Divine Realm access network from back then was the closest to their Zhao Family's. If the Xue Family were to be driven to desperation, the most severely damaged would be their Zhao Family.
"But we can't just let this go, can we?" Zhao Qinghe cried out in frustration. "My Yellow Springs Ugly Woman was shattered by that wretched girl."
Although there was a copyright imprint, it could be remade, but the cost of a gold scroll was still very high.
Moreover, a scroll's collapse is not the same as reconstruction. Reconstruction can preserve the painting spirit's Rank, but if a scroll collapses and is redrawn, the painting spirit's Rank has to start from scratch.
"Serves you right!" Zhao Gao said, hating that his son wasn't living up to expectations. "Who told you to go and provoke her? Get out, get out, go into secluded cultivation properly. In the future, unless it's urgent, you're not allowed to go anywhere!"
As a father, it was certainly false to say he didn't feel heartache.
But this matter could only be accepted, as his son secretly going to Yaoyang City to target Xue Lingling had already crossed a red line.
Later, if the other families found out, they would definitely make a big deal out of it.
But it had to be admitted that his son had brought back some valuable intelligence this trip, especially the appearance of that Divine-Grade scroll. The other families should also secretly start to pay attention...
