/ Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! Chapter 346
Chapter 346: Chapter 243: I Want to Fight Ten (Part 2) (Three updates of 10,000 words, asking for monthly passes!)
The hall was silent, save for Ning Xinyue hiding behind Su Jie, laughing like a little fox that had stolen a chicken.
“Look, the more we debate, the clearer the truth becomes, this is everyone's true feeling.”
Su Jie mentally gave Ning Xinyue a thumbs-up; once these words were spoken, many voices of agreement immediately resonated around him.
“Exactly! You from the Heavenly Soul Sect attacked first, yet you blame us for stealing things, is there any logic to that?”
“Secret Realm Elders attacking Yunling Realm disciples is clearly bullying the weak. Even if something was stolen, it serves them right; who told them to break the rules first by attacking our disciples.”
“If faults were committed, it was you who were first at fault, how could you blame it on our disciples?”
These guests were all from the Ghost Ridge Palace, and since Su Jie also held the moral high ground, they naturally sided with him.
Zhao Lianshan, faced with the diverse opinions voiced around him, grew visibly angrier and said through gritted teeth to Tang Peiqing, “Elder Tang, I came here out of a shared vision and trust towards your Ghost Ridge Palace, to discuss our grand alliance. Are you really going to let this small matter jeopardize the bigger picture?”
Tang Peiqing felt a sinking feeling in his heart; his worst fears were materializing.
Uniting with the Heavenly Soul Sect was a matter of life and death for the Ghost Ridge Palace.
If today's issue caused the alliance with the Heavenly Soul Sect to fail, how could he explain it to the Sect Master.
Su Jie, hearing this, knew the other party wanted to exert pressure and promptly communicated with Ning Xinyue using Divine Sense.
Ning Xinyue nodded her little head, her bright eyes sparkling as she voiced out using a special technique.

“Uniting with our Ghost Ridge Palace is literally saving your Heavenly Soul Sect's life. I can't believe your Heavenly Soul Sect doesn't understand the principle that 'when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold.'
If our Ghost Ridge Palace is exterminated, those Righteous Sects, having freed their hands and gathered strength, will be next in destroying your Heavenly Soul Sect.
With your Heavenly Soul Sect's brazen and arrogant style in Qingzhou, do you really think you could deceive those Righteous Sects?
Think about how you were defeated and expelled from your Mountain Gate in Jingzhou. If it weren't for our Ghost Ridge Palace drawing fire, your Heavenly Soul Sect would probably have to relive another Sect destruction, and by then, you might not have the strength to flee to another state house.”
This voice echoed throughout the mansion. Although it was unclear who exactly was speaking, once these words were said, everyone started nodding in agreement.
That's right! It's not their Ghost Ridge Palace that's begging here.
If the Ghost Ridge Palace is extinguished, there's no good end for the Heavenly Soul Sect either.
Zhao Lianshan was infuriated beyond measure and really wanted to sweep his sleeves and leave the Ghost Ridge Palace with his team, no longer talking about any cooperation.
But the remarks just now were not without reason. Since he had brought his team to the Ghost Ridge Palace, it indicated he wanted to ensure the success of the alliance. They had not yet agreed; it was only that the conditions were not yet settled.
If he directly refused to join hands with the Ghost Ridge Palace, once the Ghost Ridge Palace's Mountain Gate was breached, the Heavenly Soul Sect, barely established in Qingzhou, would likely face utter destruction, attacked by those allied Righteous Sects.
Of course, he understood the principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold.'
Conversely, if the two Demon Sects united and supported each other, they might be able to continue their sect's legacy in Qingzhou.
Su Jie, at this moment, patted his chest and declared loudly, “If you want me to return the Wedding Dress Ghost, that was something I snatched with my own skills. When Zou Minzun from your Heavenly Soul Sect surrounded us back then, he certainly didn't consider the longstanding friendship between our two sects.”
The members from the Heavenly Soul Sect knew they were in the wrong, and by now, they were no longer as aggressive as they had been at the beginning.
Only Zou Minzun felt deeply reluctant; the Wedding Dress Ghost was something he had painstakingly nurtured, and it had cost him a great deal of effort to find this one-in-ten-thousand Ghost King!
To just hand it over to Su Jie, his heart ached unbearable, and he was unwilling to let it go.
Thus, Zou Minzun approached Tang Peiqing and proposed, “Elder Tang, we all are Demon Cultivators; talking about reason and truth is something those from the Righteous sect would do. We Demon Cultivators believe only in strength. This is a personal grievance between me and Su Jie; why don't we settle it by a competition? Whoever wins gets the Wedding Dress Ghost; how about it?”
Tang Peiqing didn't say anything, but instead looked at Su Jie.
Su Jie was about to respond when Taoist Qiu coldly said, “Good! You, a Secret Realm cultivator, want to compete against my Yunling Realm disciple? You've got some nerve. How about this, I'll compete against you. If I lose, I'll even throw in a top-grade poisonous insect.”
Zou Minzun looked at Taoist Qiu, and without even competing, knew he was far inferior.
Having seen Taoist Qiu confront Zhao Lianshan without falling short in terms of momentum, he knew this was a fearsome character among the Ghost Ridge Palace Elders. Even if he had a Sixth-grade Fierce Ghost, he definitely wouldn't stand a chance in a real battle.
“As an esteemed elder of Ghost Ridge Palace, you challenging me is against the rules,”
Zou Minzun was quite upset; he would have agreed if it were just any ordinary Secret Realm Elder.
But Taoist Qiu was different, his snake-like vertical pupils unnerved him.
“Is it according to the rules for the Secret Realm to challenge the Yunling Realm?”
Cold light shot from Taoist Qiu's eyes as he spoke with a hint of a cold laugh, mixed with disdain and contempt, making one shudder.
Zou Minzun's face turned red, whether from anger or shame, it was hard to tell.
“Let's both take a step back,”
Zhao Lianshan sighed inwardly, pointing to the group of Heavenly Soul Sect disciples he had brought with him: “I've heard that Su Jie is the top among the disciples of Ghost Ridge Palace, so let's have our disciples compete. Considering these are not our best from Heavenly Soul Sect, we will send three disciples to fight, which should be fair.”
“Three against one and you call that fair!”
Ning Xinyue started whisper-yelling again, making Zhao Lianshan's forehead bulge with veins.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find which bastard was causing trouble, even if Tang Peiqing were here, he would have charged forward and given them a beating.
“I agree,”
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Su Jie's face as he ignored the anxious looks from Ning Xinyue behind him, stepping forward to face the Heavenly Soul Sect disciples and pointing at them one by one with his index finger: “123…6…a total of 10 disciples, no need to send just three, let's let them all come at once, so nobody claims I'm picking on anybody.”
With those words, the entire place fell into silence.
Not only were the people from Heavenly Soul Sect stunned, but those from Ghost Ridge Palace were also agape.
“What did you just say?”
Zhao Lianshan was a bit doubtful he had heard correctly.
“I said, I want to fight ten,”
Su Jie amplified his voice, expressing his intent in a firm and resonant tone.
After a moment of stupor, Zou Minzun couldn't help but show a sneer and a flicker of joy on his face, guessing that Su Jie was only so arrogant because of the fifth-grade wedding dress ghost in his possession.
But they were disciples of Heavenly Soul Sect, the best at manipulating fierce ghosts among the demon cultivators.
Even if the wedding dress ghost was indeed powerful, with so many disciples attacking at once, Su Jie had no chance of winning.
The fists of the disciples from Heavenly Soul Sect cracked loudly as their anger from being underestimated overwhelmed them, their fierce gazes fixed on Su Jie.
“Don't get ahead of yourself, I won't go easy on you later,”
“Hmph, fight ten, I want to see if your bones are as hard as your mouth,”
“Hehehe, later I'm going to smash your teeth and cut off your tongue, I just love tormenting defiant scoundrels like you,”
These Heavenly Soul Sect disciples were seeing such arrogance for the first time, swearing filled the air; no matter how great a disciple of Ghost Ridge Palace Su Jie was, they were ten in number!
“You think you can fight?”
Taoist Qiu looked at Su Jie; among the ten disciples opposite him, five were at the Ten Levels of Yunling Realm, five at the Yunling Realm Ninth Level. Being brought to Ghost Ridge Palace, these disciples were undoubtedly the core of the younger generation of Heavenly Soul Sect, groomed as elites, expected to ascend to the Secret Realm.
Such disciples were much stronger than others of their level, not to mention Su Jie boldly claiming he would take on all ten at once.
Taoist Qiu knew Su Jie had a Primordial Spirit, but he still felt worried.
“Master, trust me this time,”
Su Jie nodded firmly, facing the ten disciples with a cruel smile also spreading across his face.
