500: Chapter 500 Everyone Wants to Fight

"This! I absolutely do not agree!"

"Junior Brother, you are being far too biased!"

Ye Hongfu stood up abruptly, her posture straight and tall.

She glanced sideways at Lin Ziyao, and as their eyes met, they shared a moment of perfect understanding without needing a single word. It was clear they intended to join forces to stop Chu Yuehua first.

Seeing this scene, Qin Wushang's brow furrowed deeply.

His palm still firmly gripped Chu Yuehua's wrist, with no intention of letting go in the slightest.

Chu Yuehua stood quietly, showing no intention of speaking, completely leaving the chaotic situation for him to handle.

By the table, Di Qingli's fingertips lightly touched the rim of her cup as she slowly set it down. The crisp clink broke the clamor.

"To be frank, I also do not agree with you taking her away."

"If we're talking about taking turns, it shouldn't be Chu Yuehua's turn yet."

"Tonight, you should accompany this Empress."

Everyone has their own selfish desires, and Di Qingli, who ruled over Taihuang Heaven, was even more so.

Since everyone else was competing for him, as the Lord of Taihuang Heaven, she naturally wouldn't back down an inch.

"Why should he go to you!"

"Tonight should be my turn!"

Lin Ziyao suddenly spoke up, her fingers quickly counting as she spoke with stubbornness.

"Previously, while I was in seclusion to break through my Realm, Brother Wushang was always with you all!"

"During that time, you, Di Qingli, monopolized him the longest! Tonight, Brother Wushang must belong to me!"

"Brother Wushang! Choose me! As long as you choose me, I'll listen to whatever you say!"

As her words fell, Lin Ziyao stepped forward quickly and grabbed Qin Wushang's other free wrist, exerting force to pull him away.

Actions speak louder than words!

But among the women present, which one was a pushover?

Just as she moved, a cold and overbearing Imperial Might suddenly spread out.

A faint crimson light emanated from Di Qingli's body, and a terrifying aura instantly locked onto Lin Ziyao, pinning her to the spot.

"Old stories are not worth mentioning."

Di Qingli maintained a tough attitude, with no intention of yielding.

While the few of them were in a stalemate, the usually reticent Mu Bingyun slowly stood up.

Her cold gaze fell on Qin Wushang as she spoke bluntly: "I, too, want to compete."

Her tone was flat.

"If my husband stays by my side tonight, I will have the chance to break through my shackles and charge towards the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

This wasn't a lie; it was the honest truth.

Her Dao was Qin Wushang; the stronger her desire for him, the faster her strength would break through.

And only when the two of them were doing their favorite things, reaching a state of oneness, could she more easily comprehend the Dao.

"Cough cough... well... although I don't have much of a say... I also want to..."

"I possess the Extreme Yin Immortal Body, and I've spent so little time with him. If you give me these three days, it will give him a chance to charge towards the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

"Breaking through to Quasi-Emperor will give his strength a qualitative leap, making it no problem for him to take first place in the grand competition."

Jiang Chengqiu, dressed in a long yellow dress, spoke in a low voice.

The development of her Extreme Yin Immortal Body was not yet complete; she could still be considered a great Opportunity.

And she also wanted to use Qin Wushang to break through to the Saint Venerable Realm.

Otherwise, she would truly fall too far behind!

"That won't do!"

"You're not the only one with methods... besides, the timing for Brother Wushang's Breakthrough isn't right now."

Lin Ziyao spoke up in rebuttal.

Even while enduring Di Qingli's terrifying pressure, she still had no intention of letting go of Qin Wushang.

"Um... how should I put this... can't you all just give me some peace of mind?"

Qin Wushang glanced at them and spoke.

He was clearly following his own heart, so why did he have to be picked and chosen by them?

"But... Brother Wushang, if you choose me, I'll be at peace~"

Lin Ziyao puffed out her cheeks, looking somewhat aggrieved.

She clearly hadn't been alone with Brother Wushang for a very long time.

Why wasn't it her turn?

"Junior Brother, I can be with Ziyao together..."

Ye Hongfu lowered her voice and slowly stood up, walking to Lin Ziyao's side.

She reached out her jade-like hand and directly linked arms with the other, making it clear she was forming an alliance.

Seeing this, Di Qingli's brow twitched, and the Imperial Might around her body surged faintly.

"Hmph! To actually gang up and join forces!"

"Truly unscrupulous! How utterly shameless!"

She gave a cold snort, her face full of indignation.

Just as the various sides were at a standstill, Chu Yuehua, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke.

"Are you finished?"

Three simple words instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, and they all looked at her in unison.

"Since you're finished, then it's time to go."

Before her voice even faded, Chu Yuehua exerted force with her jade-like hand, pulled Qin Wushang's hand, and turned to walk toward the hall's entrance.

The action was smooth and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Chu Yuehua! You are being far too overbearing!"

"He is not your private property!"

Di Qingli shouted sternly, her Imperial Might suddenly vibrating as it locked onto the back of the figure ahead.

Chu Yuehua didn't stop her pace or look back, her cold voice drifting behind her.

"As his Revered Master, what is wrong with guiding my disciple's cultivation on the eve of the grand competition to help him break through and improve?"

The women naturally didn't believe her.

But there was nothing they could do!

Whether in terms of status or strength, Chu Yuehua stood a head above them all.

"Hmph!"

"Useless thing! To actually not take action and let her take Brother Wushang away!"

Lin Ziyao looked at Di Qingli and said coldly.

Here, only Di Qingli could go toe-to-toe with Chu Yuehua, yet she had allowed the man to be taken away.

"Before you speak, look at yourself first."

"I don't need you to teach this Empress how to act."

Di Qingli was somewhat displeased and stood up to leave.

"Ziyao, what should we do?"

Ye Hongfu asked.

They had a plan long ago, but they didn't expect the situation to turn out like this before the plan could even be implemented.

"Plan terminated... after the grand competition ends, you and I will join forces again!"

"For now, hurry and break through! I don't believe I still can't get the better of that Chu Yuehua!"

As Lin Ziyao spoke, she pulled the other woman away.

Very soon!

Jiang Chengqiu was the only one left at the entire banquet.

She sat alone, lost in thought, only leaving after a long while.
