Chapter 626 - 625: Black Viper Dharma Talisman
"Sure, no problem," Yan Chengzhi replied without hesitation.
Seeing Yan Chengzhi's decisive manner, Liu Hong became somewhat hesitant.
Ge Dongxu glanced at Yan Chengzhi twice, his brows slightly furrowed, and he quietly asked Lv Chongliang, "What's the relationship between them?"
"Both their families are from Zhangyuan City. That Yan Chengzhi has a thing for Liu Hong and has been chasing her for a while. But Liu Hong doesn't like him, and after back and forth, this kid has started to resent her," Lv Chongliang replied.
"That's a bit too much," Ge Dongxu said.
"Exactly. But Liu Hong's cultivation is high, and this kid always ends up suffering when he competes against her. We just need to sit back and enjoy the show," Lv Chongliang said.
"What's the matter, Liu Hong, getting cold feet?" Yan Chengzhi sneered sarcastically as Ge Dongxu was whispering with Lv Chongliang.
"Let's compete then, what's there to be afraid of!" Liu Hong, provoked by Yan Chengzhi's taunt, straightened up and said.
"Haha, Liu Hong, you said it yourself, may the best man win!" Yan Chengzhi laughed triumphantly as Liu Hong agreed, flipping his hand to reveal a black jade token.
The token was engraved with a black snake.
Although the snake was carved on the token, it seemed alive to the viewer's eyes, hissing on the token under the bright afternoon sun, giving off a chilling sensation.
"A Black Viper Dharma Talisman! Your grandfather actually gave you the Black Viper Dharma Talisman!" Liu Hong exclaimed in shock, her face changing color, and other youths close to Liu Hong also looked wary at the sight of the talisman.
"Haha, scared now? If you're scared, we don't have to compete. Just call me 'Darling Brother' directly," Yan Chengzhi said smugly.
"Haha!" The young people with Yan Chengzhi all laughed.
"Yan Chengzhi, you are shameless!" Liu Hong was so angry that her pretty face turned red.
"Me, shameless? How am I shameless? It's not just us competing; even the elders in Qimen rely on Dharma Talismans during their duels, rather than drawing talismans in the void to wield techniques. If you're capable, bring out your Liu Family's Chi Yan Talisman!" Yan Chengzhi retorted with a sneer.
"Exactly, are we competing or not? If not, just call Yan Brother 'Darling Brother' right now!" the people on Yan Chengzhi's side jeered and mocked.
"Since everyone here is from the same path and we're here for an exchange meeting, it would be better for us to sit down and share insights on cultivation rather than engaging in these humiliating and spiteful contests," Ge Dongxu said, hesitating for a moment before stepping in to mediate. He was a consultant at a high level in the Special Ability Management Bureau behind the scenes and felt somewhat obliged to maintain harmony in Qimen and prevent disputes. Moreover, since Liu Hong was clearly with Lv Chongliang, he didn't want her to be at a disadvantage.
"And who are you? What does the duel between me and Liu Hong have to do with you?" Yan Chengzhi, also a capable figure among the young generation of Dongyue Province's Qimen, saw a stranger suddenly trying to intervene and immediately pointed at Ge Dongxu with disdain, asking the question.
"Damn, Yan Chengzhi, watch your words; this is my boss! When my boss speaks, he's giving you face. Don't throw it away!" Lv Semi-Immortal saw Yan Chengzhi's arrogant attitude towards Ge Dongxu and immediately stood up, pointing at him and cursing without any courtesy.
Seeing Lv Semi-Immortal step in, fear clearly appeared in Yan Chengzhi's eyes. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Lv Semi-Immortal, I didn't mean that. But this is a matter between Liu Hong and me, and I hope no one interferes."
"Alright, Ge Dongxu, thanks for your kindness. It's just a Chiyan Talisman, right? With his mediocre skills, I can still beat him into a toad," Liu Hong said gratefully after glancing at Ge Dongxu, then turned to Yan Chengzhi and taunted.
Seeing one not willing to give up and another accepting the challenge, Ge Dongxu naturally couldn't say anything more, so he just shook his head secretly and let them be.
"Don't worry, boss, Liu Hong is the strongest among us. Even if Yan Chengzhi has the Chiyan Talisman, it's not necessarily going to work out well for him," Lv Chongliang said in a low voice, pulling Ge Dongxu aside as the two prepared for a spell battle.
Everyone else also stepped back, giving space for Liu Hong and Yan Chengzhi.
"You've got quite some clout; I saw how you reprimanded Yan Chengzhi just now, and he didn't dare to lose his temper at you," Ge Dongxu whispered to Lv Chongliang after they moved aside.
"Of course, I might not be as good as them in spell battles, but when it comes to divination and fortune-telling, they can't hold a candle to me in this circle. I still hold some prestige," Lv Chongliang immediately boasted proudly upon hearing this.
"You might be a master in divination compared to them, I believe that, but as for having great prestige, I think it must be your grandfather, not you," Ge Dongxu said, seeing Lv Chongliang's smug face, and couldn't help but burst his bubble.
"Hehe, my grandfather is very prestigious, and I'm his grandson, so naturally, it's only right that I have some prestige too! It seems, boss, although it's your first time attending this kind of meet, you've heard of my grandfather's fame!" Lv Chongliang said unabashedly.
"Of course, I've heard of the great name Divination Master Lv Xinghai. I've even met him and dealt with him," Ge Dongxu replied with a smile.
"Damn boss, for a junior like you, knowing my grandfather's great name is reasonable, but to say you've met and dealt with him sounds rather pompous!" Lv Chongliang sneered, clearly incredulous.
Although Lv Semi-Immortal was just a semi-skilled practitioner, his grandfather Lv Xinghai was a real famous Qimen expert of Dongyue Province, an old senior. And in these days, when Daoist techniques have declined and firearms advanced, the minor spells of Qimen couldn't stir up much trouble and were no longer popular. After all, no matter how powerful you are, you can't beat a gun and a bullet.
But Lv Xinghai was different. He specialized in face reading, fortune-telling, Feng Shui, which are thriving nowadays. Lv Xinghai, being truly skilled in this field, naturally attracted many officials and dignitaries seeking his help in predicting their careers and fortunes, choosing auspicious days, arranging Feng Shui, and more. Thus, his connections in Dongyue Province were extensive, and many officials and dignitaries had to respectfully address him as Master Lv when they saw him.
This was also why, despite Yan Chengzhi's arrogance, he dared not easily offend Lv Semi-Immortal.
Now, Ge Dongxu, a young man, was telling Lv Chongliang that he not only met his grandfather but also had dealings with him, which Lv Chongliang naturally doubted.
"Haha, if you don't believe it, never mind." Ge Dongxu laughed, thinking that once he met his grandfather, this guy's expression would definitely be interesting.
"Psh, I knew you were just boasting. Look, Liu Hong and Yan Chengzhi are about to start their spell battle," Lv Chongliang, thinking Ge Dongxu was just joking and boasting, rolled his eyes at him, then elbowed Ge Dongxu and excitedly pointed at Liu Hong and Yan Chengzhi standing five meters apart, ready to confront each other.
