Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 195: Zhong Cang: I am not a pervert!

Zhong Cang's soul was contaminated, allowing him to induce negative emotions in the old madam of the Tianxiang Tower.

Just like now, Zhong Cang induced her to imagine that there was someone behind the "Talisman Master" whom she couldn't offend and could only please.

Of course, it was also because of her own greed that she was able to rapidly nurture her scheming nature, which allowed Zhong Cang to succeed.

This ability was extremely terrifying. If Zhong Cang wanted to, he could quickly establish a dark empire that obeyed his every command.

Of course, he wouldn't do that. In the Immortal Cultivation World, personal power growth was more important than having a large influence.

At the same time, Zhong Cang also felt somewhat fortunate.

"It's a good thing that the Hundred Ghosts Perfected Being didn't develop the ability of the gray mist. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to win... Although, he didn't have the conditions to develop it either."

The ability of the gray mist was indeed powerful, but it not only contaminated others, but also contaminated oneself.

And any cultivator understood that the true self was the one who achieved the Dao. Being controlled by others, no matter how strong, was still illusory.

Therefore, even though the Hundred Ghosts Perfected Being felt that the gray mist was strong, he didn't dare to use it because he had no means to restrain it.

As for Zhong Cang, without the Sword Heart of the Four Realms to resist and even destroy the tentacles of the gray mist, he also didn't dare to casually manipulate the gray mist.

Even now, Zhong Cang had made a decision - no matter what, he couldn't let the power of the gray mist surpass the Sword Heart.

...

With the Heavenly Heart subduing the old madam, the next steps would be easy.

At this moment, Zhong Cang could even say to Xiang Ling, "The judges and referees are all under my control. What can you use to compete with me?"

Of course, he didn't say that, but the oppressive feeling was at its peak.

That day, when Xiang Ling woke up, an old madam entered her chamber.

Her arrival surprised Xiang Ling, but soon she regained her composure and respectfully asked, "Mother, why have you come?"

"It's about that Talisman Master..."

"I've already said it, I won't become his concubine!"

The constant pestering had made Xiang Ling fed up, so without waiting for the old madam to finish speaking, she decisively refused.

However, just when she thought she could drive the old madam away, something unexpected happened.

The old madam, who had been relatively amiable towards her in the past, suddenly turned serious.

"You won't marry? That's not up to you!"

"You're planning to force me." Being threatened didn't make Xiang Ling afraid. Instead, she sneered, "Hua Xiang Perfected Being, does this humble woman need to remind you of something? I am not a woman you can take in as a concubine. I am a member of the Restoration Society!"

When Xiang Ling mentioned the Restoration Society, she thought it would make the old madam back down. But what made her feel uneasy was... the old madam's response was extremely indifferent.

"Oh."

"?!!"

This reaction instantly made Xiang Ling understand that the person in question was not afraid of the Restoration Society.

In fact, Xiang Ling guessed correctly.

After a plain response, the old madam smiled and said, "The Guangfu Society has indeed caused quite a stir recently, but according to our speculation, that person is the direct heir of the major faction."

"What? The Guangfu Society has expanded its achievements, and now it not only competes with small sects, but also intends to overthrow the rule of the major faction and change the world of our Yunmeng Heavenly Domain?"

"..."

The Guangfu Society naturally dare not have such an idea.

In fact, the Guangfu Society exists with the secret support of those major factions.

As for the reasons behind it, they are quite common.

Although the major factions are strong, they are also afraid of being surpassed by the smaller sects below.

Competition mostly involves enhancing oneself and suppressing enemies.

Most major factions are working on enhancing themselves, but it is difficult.

Therefore, major factions like the Soaring Feather Sect often suppress medium-sized sects or families in the state, either openly or secretly, to prevent them from developing.

However, the demonic sects are different. They believe in the law of the jungle and do not care about face.

The Dao Sect, on the other hand, has to maintain some dignity and at least appear to uphold benevolence, righteousness, and morality.

But they still have to suppress the smaller sects below.

As a result, some secret organizations have emerged.

And the Guangfu Society is an important part of the layout of the major factions.

The existence of this organization not only competes with some medium-sized forces and causes internal conflicts among them.

It also serves the purpose of legitimizing their actions.

- Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp. Those medium-sized forces that want to develop will swallow up many small families and sects.

Normally, the Dao Sect does not interfere with this.

But if they want to suppress a certain medium-sized sect and lack an excuse, the major Dao Sect will choose a fallen victim from the Guangfu Society to weaken those medium-sized forces in the name of upholding justice.

This behavior can be said to be tried and true.

And the Guangfu Society is therefore considered a semi-public organization.

However, there are pros and cons to everything.

Having a major faction as a backer allows the Guangfu Society to dare to take action against medium-sized forces.

But now, Xiang Ling suddenly felt at a loss when she realized that her own people came from her own "backer".

While she was feeling troubled, Hua Xiang, a Perfected Being, restrained her smile and said very gently,

"Xiang Ling, don't think too badly of this situation. For you, it's not a bad thing. Haven't you always wanted to revive your family? If you have the support of the direct heir of a major faction, reviving your family will be a piece of cake."

This statement seems normal, but soon, Xiang Ling sneered.

"I am a concubine, not a wife. To that person, I am just a plaything."

Xiang Ling looked at her own situation with great rationality.

However, there were some things that she couldn't refuse just because she didn't want to.

"Don't say that. From what I've heard, that person is very young and doesn't have a partner yet. If you marry him, you might have a chance to become the main wife..."

There were several high-ranking officials outside, as well as the pressure from the prestigious name of the sect.

Internally, there was the constant persuasion from the old matchmaker.

In the end, Xiang Ling gave in.

But she made a condition.

To Zhong Cang's amusement, this condition was not proposed by Xiang Ling herself.

"I can be a concubine, but my sister Ling Que must be arranged within the sect, and she must have a good master."

"My sister has been saving money desperately to redeem me. She sold herself willingly to help me. This sisterly love is truly touching... Tell her that I agree to this proposal, and I will personally accept her sister as my disciple."

With such a promise, three days later, Xiang Ling, dressed in her finest attire, was quietly carried into the small courtyard where Zhong Cang temporarily resided.

Ling Que, who was unaware of the situation, looked on in astonishment.

"Zhong Cang? What are you doing?"

"Didn't you see it? I'm taking a concubine."

"...You haven't even recovered from your injuries, and you're rushing to take a concubine, you old lecher! Also, if you mess around in my room, where am I supposed to sleep?"

"Outside, in the corner."

"You..."

Zhong Cang's eager expression left Ling Que helpless, and for the first time, she felt that becoming his disciple might not have been the right choice.

While she was speechless, Xiang Ling had already been led into the room by a maid.

Because the red veil on her head was a Law Weapon that could block mental exploration and sound transmission, she didn't notice anything amiss.

In this way, with a bewildered expression of "so you're my master," Ling Que was driven out by Zhong Cang, while Xiang Ling was welcomed into her sister's chamber.

Then, Zhong Cang casually removed Xiang Ling's veil.

Xiang Ling, wearing her wedding dress and the red veil, was a bit nervous beforehand.

Because it was a blind marriage, she didn't know Zhong Cang's appearance, personality, or even his name.

So, with the veil covering her face, she had imagined many things.

And as a young girl, even though she had ambitions and aspirations in her heart, she had not lacked the heart of a young girl.

Because of this, she had fantasized about her husband being elegant and extraordinary, or fierce and exceptional.

But no matter how she fantasized, the thought of being taken in by Zhong Cang had never crossed her mind.

Even in these past few days, she had been busy with the preparations for the marriage and knew that after she married, her sister would be accepted as a disciple by her husband. She had almost forgotten about Zhong Cang.

In this situation, when her veil was lifted, she raised her head slightly and saw Zhong Cang's ambiguous expression.

This scene left her dumbfounded. It took her a while to react, and in shock, she shrank back onto the bed, retreating to the farthest corner. She looked at him with an incredulous expression and said, "Why is it you... How did you end up here!"

To become a courtesan in a brothel, it goes without saying that Xiang Ling is beautiful. At this moment, dressed in red and exuding extraordinary charm, she curls up her delicate body like a little deer, wearing a pitiful expression of despair towards Zhong Cang.

If it were anyone else, seeing a young girl looking at them so pitifully would definitely soften their hearts.

Especially when Xiang Ling, dressed in red, also possesses the allure of a uniform, it is even more pitiable.

Unfortunately, Zhong Cang is not normal at this moment.

With a heart full of sadistic pleasure, the more pitiful Xiang Ling appears, the more delighted he feels.

As a result, Zhong Cang does not let her go, but maliciously brings his face closer.

"Why me? Hehe, Xiang Ling, didn't you guess?"

"Also, I am very dissatisfied with you now. Have you forgotten what I said when we last met and I left?"

Xiang Ling certainly remembers that sentence. Even if she didn't remember it originally, she slowly recalls it now out of fear.

"Proud, with a hint of contempt, your expression is very good, I like it. You must maintain this expression when we meet next time."

Zhong Cang, who is smiling, originally thought that after Xiang Ling heard his mockery, she would fearfully beg for mercy.

But something unexpected happens to Zhong Cang.

I don't know what she thought of, but Xiang Ling's expression actually returns to the noble and arrogant one she had when she first met Zhong Cang.

The tone of her conversation with Zhong Cang is also filled with a condescending disdain.

"I didn't expect that the waste picked up by a sparrow would turn out to be the direct descendant of a major sect."

"But a lowly... nouveau riche is still a nouveau riche. Aristocratic families are not just about wealth and talent. Haven't you heard that it takes three generations to produce nobles and five generations to establish a prestigious family... Oh, I forgot, you only became the direct descendant of a major sect because of good luck. You don't even have the qualifications to receive such an education."

"I really don't know which sect was blind and recruited someone like you."

"But even as a direct descendant, a commoner is still a commoner. The legitimate daughters of those big families would never look at you... Ah!!!"

"Let go of me, you commoner! You are not worthy of touching this young lady's body..."

Provoking the anger in Zhong Cang's heart, Xiang Ling resists both in her words and actions.

However, this resistance is extremely weak.

- It's not that there is a huge gap in strength, Zhong Cang feels a slight power.

He is not so lacking in manners as to force a young girl.

At this moment, the strength with which Xiang Ling pushes and resists Zhong Cang is even weaker than that of an ordinary woman.

Rather than saying it is resistance, it is more like a reluctant refusal.

In this situation, combined with what Xiang Ling said just now, Zhong Cang is somewhat speechless.

"Could she think of me as a pervert? But I'm not..."

After uttering a sentence of defense, under Xiang Ling's "superior" gaze, Zhong Cang suppresses it and his actions become extremely rough.

...............

In this way, Xiang Ling is tormented by Zhong Cang all night.
