What a rip-off!
Hao Ren angrily closed Wang Tenglong's "status updates."
He had originally intended to distract himself and dispel his wicked thoughts.
Now, after witnessing Wang Tenglong's "role-playing drama," Hao Ren's heart surged with emotion, and his wicked thoughts grew even stronger.
He was on the verge of "becoming a beast" at any moment!
Just then, an unexpected event occurred.
A series of system prompts suddenly echoed in Hao Ren's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Nascent Soul elder "Crimson Sword Immortal" of the "Dark Sword Sect" has developed hatred towards you. Hatred value +999999, current hatred level: Five Stars (Immortal Feud).]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Nascent Soul elder "Orange Sword Immortal" of the "Dark Sword Sect" has developed hatred towards you. Hatred value +999999, current hatred level: Five Stars (Immortal Feud).]
...
There were a total of six similar system prompts.
Crimson Sword Immortal.
Orange Sword Immortal.
Yellow Sword Immortal.
Azure Sword Immortal.
Blue Sword Immortal.
Violet Sword Immortal.
Crimson, Orange, Yellow, Azure, Blue, Violet, and add "Green Sword Immortal" – that makes the seven colors of the rainbow!
What in the world is going on!
Hao Ren was speechless. What was the deal with this sudden influx of hatred?
He opened the enemy list to view the detailed attribute panels of these individuals.
[Name: Crimson Sword Immortal]
[Age: Nine hundred and twenty-two years]
[Identity: Nascent Soul Elder of the "Dark Sword Sect"]
[Cultivation Realm: Late Nascent Soul]
[Detailed Description: The leader of the "Seven Rainbow Sword Immortals," has a very good relationship with "Green Sword Immortal"! After "Green Sword Immortal" was killed by you, the soul lamp "Green Sword Immortal" left in the sect was extinguished, and your information was left behind. "Crimson Sword Immortal" has developed a bone-chilling hatred towards you and has sworn to avenge "Green Sword Immortal," vowing not to rest until you are dead.]
...
The situations of the other "Rainbow Sword Immortals" were basically similar to "Crimson Sword Immortal."
They all had good relationships with "Green Sword Immortal." Upon learning that "Green Sword Immortal" was killed by Hao Ren, they vowed to kill Hao Ren for revenge!
Hao Ren
(╯°Д°）╯︵┻━┻
He was furious!
The scheming in the cultivation world ran too deep!
Things like "soul lamps" were just a forceful way to generate hatred!
Now, he had six more Nascent Soul enemies for no apparent reason.
What a rip-off!
Moreover, Hao Ren also wanted to ask, wasn't that "soul lamp" bugged?
The one who killed "Green Sword Immortal" was Su Muxue. The wronged party and the debtor should seek her out. Why was his information displayed?
Although Su Muxue was the one who struck the killing blow, the true cause of "Green Sword Immortal's" death was someone's persistent "cursing."
This blood debt was rightfully placed on someone's head!
Learning that he had suddenly acquired six mortal enemies at the Nascent Soul stage, Hao Ren was extremely depressed.
The goddess Su beside him suddenly became less alluring.
Wicked thoughts? What wicked thoughts?
Hao Ren had no wicked thoughts at all now. He was only thinking about how to deal with the impending "Crimson, Orange, Yellow, Green, Azure, Blue, Violet," oh wait, no Green...
Curses!
Curses had to be unleashed!
Hao Ren's most potent skill was cursing!
However, there was a "small problem."
All six Sword Immortals were Nascent Soul cultivators.
Hao Ren's monthly quota only allowed him to curse three Nascent Soul cultivators.
Not enough to go around!
Damn it!
Just as Hao Ren was at his wit's end, another system prompt sounded.
[Ding! "Golden Lotus Fairy" has led her nine sons to storm the "Dark Sword Sect," demanding compensation from the sect... "Green Sword Immortal" shed blood for the sect and bore arms for the sect; his contributions are indelible. Now that he is dead, the sect must provide compensation... The "Dark Sword Sect" has ordered "Crimson Sword Immortal" to lead a team to handle this matter.]
[Ding! Your enemy "Crimson Sword Immortal" is currently negotiating with "Golden Lotus Fairy"...]
[Ding! Negotiation failed! Your enemy "Crimson Sword Immortal" is furious and is verbally abusing "Golden Lotus Fairy": Please respect me, I am here to negotiate, not to provide sexual services... ]
Uh...
Hao Ren
o（（⊙﹏⊙））o
These "status updates" contained a lot of information!
The first part was a typical "labor compensation plot."
When the patriarchs died, the families went to their workplace to demand compensation.
Hmm!
The "labor relations" in the cultivation world were quite tense!
The "Dark Sword Sect," being wealthy and powerful, of course, would not "shirk responsibility." Thus, they dispatched "Crimson Sword Immortal" to negotiate with "Golden Lotus Fairy."
Uh, the plot that followed became somewhat "surreal."
"Crimson Sword Immortal" was a handsome middle-aged man. "Golden Lotus Fairy" took an immediate liking to him. She proposed that the "compensation amount" could be discussed slowly, but first, they should have an "in-depth exchange."
"Crimson Sword Immortal" was upright and righteously refused.
The negotiation broke down just like that!
[Ding! Your enemy "Orange Sword Immortal" has been dispatched by the "Dark Sword Sect" to conduct a second round of negotiations with "Golden Lotus Fairy."]
[Ding! Your enemy "Orange Sword Immortal" is currently conducting a second round of negotiations...]
[Ding! Negotiation failed! Your enemy "Orange Sword Immortal" is furious and roars at "Golden Lotus Fairy": Sister-in-law, please show some self-respect, I am still a virgin... Don't come near me, don't come near me... Help!]
[Ding! Your enemy "Orange Sword Immortal" flees in disarray!]
...
Hao Ren
o（（⊙﹏⊙））o
This plot...
It's too "surreal"!
What on earth is going on!
In the following period, the "Dark Sword Sect" successively sent all of the "Rainbow Sword Immortals" to negotiate.
Without exception, their negotiations failed.
To call it negotiation wasn't entirely accurate.
Before they could even start talking, "Golden Lotus Fairy" would begin to drool and, at the slightest disagreement, would start disrobing.
The "Rainbow Sword Immortals" were good brothers with "Green Sword Immortal," so they couldn't do anything that would betray "Green Sword Immortal." They all fled in disarray.
They sighed, lamenting that being handsome wasn't their fault!
The "Dark Sword Sect" high command was enraged!
Were all the Nascent Soul elders in our sect this incompetent?
A mere negotiation matter, and several of them went one after another yet couldn't resolve it?
Unacceptable!
This matter cannot be dropped!
"Rainbow Sword Immortals," listen up! This matter is now your responsibility. You won't be doing anything else until you successfully complete the negotiation.
And so, the "Rainbow Sword Immortals" met their doom and began a "painful and long" negotiation process.
[Ding! Your enemy "Yellow Sword Immortal" failed negotiations and fled in disarray...]
[Ding! Your enemy "Azure Sword Immortal" failed negotiations and fled in disarray.].oΓg
...
For a considerable period, Hao Ren closely monitored the "Rainbow Sword Immortals'" movements.
Fortunately, they kept failing their negotiations, meaning they wouldn't be coming to trouble Hao Ren anytime soon.
Heh, hehehe...
Hao Ren's mood improved.
Sometimes, he genuinely wanted to thank "Golden Lotus Fairy" in person.
This divine woman, single-handedly, had stalled the "Rainbow Sword Immortals."
Listen to me thank you, because of you, warmth fills the four seasons...
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
Su Muxue completed her closed-door cultivation and opened her eyes...
