How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Lu Jiu quickly waved his hand and suddenly exclaimed, "I know! It must be that Hei Xiaolong was worried about his family and gave him some kind of magical artifact to conceal his identity. After all, he is now the direct disciple of the Water Department Elder of the Five Elements Sect, so it's normal for him to be a little wealthy!"

"I don't care about any of this nonsense."

Ding Bu waved his hand, held up one finger, and issued an ultimatum: "One day, twenty-four hours. This is your final deadline. If you still can't bring that guy over, you'll be subject to the sect rules!"

"But……"

"No buts, it must be done! Otherwise, things might get complicated and unforeseen circumstances might arise!"

"Okay... well..."

Lu Jiu lowered his head and sighed.

If it weren't absolutely necessary, he really wouldn't want to go himself, after all, that area was the territory of the Five Elements Sect.

But given the situation, not going is not an option...

……

"A hundred victories can be lost if you lose seven games."

Hong Li muttered to herself as she slowly walked into the martial arts arena. However, the arena seemed rather quiet today.

"Ok?"

Hong Li frowned, looked up and glanced to her left and right, only to see a group of Five Elements Sect disciples, each exuding a powerful aura, staring at her menacingly.

Not only the Fire Department disciples, but it seems that all five elements and five departments have them, and they are all at least at the Foundation Establishment stage!

"its not right……"

Hongli muttered to herself, "Where are all those shills who usually just watch the show?"

"Did you hear that?"

"That's right, so that's the genius disciple who reached the Foundation Establishment stage in just one year..."

"It's been less than a year; she only officially joined the program this February!"

"I heard she's only seventeen this year, wow, you really can't compare people!"

"What a cute little girl, I hope she won't cry if she loses..."

"I love seeing little girls cry, hehehe..."

"Damn, what kind of pervert are you? Ah, it's you, Senior Sister! I didn't say anything just now, hahaha..."

"Who cares about her? The elder has ordered that as long as we can defeat her, the rewards will be huge—ten high-grade spirit stones!"

"Dude, your accent is a bit strange..."

"Forget about the details, who wants to go up and challenge first?"

"I'll come, I'll come!"

"Get out of here! Your cultivation level isn't high enough!"

"Nonsense, didn't the elder say that anyone at the Foundation Establishment stage or above can challenge it?"

"But they're already at the third level of Foundation Establishment, and you're only at the first level. The elder also said that if you deliberately offer yourself up for failure, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Oh, well, senior brother, you go first..."

"You're being targeted, huh? And there's even a bounty on your head?"

Hongli looked annoyed. Xiaohuo peeked out from her arms and suddenly looked at the conspicuous little blue-headed boy in the crowd: "Mommy, look, it's Aunt Xingyun!"

"Senior Sister!"

Xingyun jumped around and shouted, with Xiao Gaga clinging to her shoulder and holding up a sign in her hand.

【Hongli! Victory is certain!】

Behind Xingyun, there was her supporting cast.

"Go for it! Revive the glory of our new disciples!"

"That's right, let these old friends... cough cough, senior brothers and sisters see the strength of us juniors!"

"That's right, beat them up badly, we have to slap them in the face!"

"The world has suffered from the deceit and fraud of my disciples for too long; today we rise up in rebellion!"

"..."

"What the heck is going on..."

Hongli couldn't help but purse her lips: "I'm cheating, so it doesn't need to be this exciting, it's so awkward..."

And Xiaoqi too, when did she sneak in here...?

"Mom, I'm going to find them now, I won't bother you anymore!"

"Oh, whatever."

Hong Li let out a long breath, drew her spear from behind her, looked at the crowd in front of her, and gave a soft snort.

"You're targeting me, aren't you? Then don't blame me."

"Since you've been so cooperative, I was originally planning to resolve this gradually over a month, but now I'll just finish it in one day!"

[Your contract partner (Hong Li) has successfully advanced her skill "Insidious Backstab" (blue) to "Instant Kill" (purple), and this has been synchronized.]

[Your contract partner (Hong Li) has successfully advanced to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, and their cultivation level is now synchronized.]

……

"There's quite a lot of fog in this courtyard..."

Surrounded by disciples of the Heavenly Gate, Lu Jiu quietly landed in the courtyard without stirring up a speck of dust.

"Hu Tiantu, Hu Tianen, Xuan Yi, Xuan Er, the four of you follow me. The rest of you, spread out and conduct a thorough search. Find that guy and capture him alive!"

"Yes!"*n

"Heh, you caught him in a single day, huh...?"

Hearing the disciples' voice transmissions in his mind, Lu Jiu's lips curled up: "This mist can even shield spiritual power, there must be quite a lot of treasures here."

Unfortunately, I have already scouted the area, and there are no Five Elements Sect elders nearby.

"No matter how many treasures Hei Xiaolong left you, I'll just surround you with my men. What do you have to fight me with then?"

"yes……"

In the mist, Hei Yang stood atop the giant bronze serpent's head, looking at the vengeful spirits all around him, and the Suantianmen disciples whose expressions instantly turned blank upon entering the gray mist. A smirk appeared on his lips: "So what if you're at the Golden Core stage? I'll just surround you with my men. What do you have to fight me with?"

……

"I'll meet you!"

A disciple of the Five Elements Sect at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment jumped onto the arena: "Junior sister, it's not that I look down on you, your talent is terrifying, but we have a hundred experts on our side, how are you going to fight?"

You've probably realized by now that the elder never intended for you to win.

Since that's the case, how about letting my senior brother get those ten high-grade spirit stones? I promise, I'll give you three..."

"Whoosh!"

"Paji!"

The senior brother was sent flying off the stage by a single shot.

"next."

Hong Li stood up straight, gun in hand, and looked around arrogantly, letting out a cold snort: "So what if there are more people?"

……

"Sorry, having more people doesn't make you great."

Hei Yang gripped his sword and looked down. The other shore spread out, and the gray mist slowly seeped into and eroded the golden fortune accumulated on Lu Jiu's head.

……

"It's my turn next!"

……

"Be good and wait for me to take you back..."

……

Hongli and Heiyang: "This will take care of you!"
