After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 320 - Drums and Gongs Resound, Spirit Cannons Roar
Chapter 320: Drums and Gongs Resound, Spirit Cannons Roar
Yu Shi experienced what it meant to be socially dead.
He was surrounded by piercing stares.
People from various sects looked at him with disdain, and the disciples of the Ancient Pill Tower, especially the male disciples, involuntarily shrank their necks, not daring to meet his gaze.
Even Elder Zheng spat in disgust!
He felt that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn’t clear his name and had thoughts of dying!
He wanted to cover his face and flee, but his strong sense of ‘integrity’ made him stay.
The Alchemy Conference was a stage prepared for Lin Feng’s rise, and he had to stand firm!
Moreover, if he fled now, it would only confirm his special ‘inclination’!
The only thing to do now was... Yu Shi looked coldly towards Jiang Chen.
In his view, it must have been Jiang Chen who drove the elders and pill refiner masters mad and sling mud at him!
This vengeance must be avenged!
Leaving now would only play into Jiang Chen’s hands, allowing Jiang Chen to be unimpeded at this Alchemy Conference.
However, if he stayed and continued to preside over the Alchemy Conference, not only could he take revenge, but he might also find an opportunity to expose Jiang Chen’s conspiracy and clear his own name.
“Huff.”
With this thought, Yu Shi took a deep breath and said with determination: “When one wants to punish, any excuse will do. Today, I disdain to argue with all of you! Everything will be settled after the Alchemy Conference is over!”
Hearing this, everyone showed disdain.
No one expected Yu Shi to have such thick skin! He still had the face to stay!
In contrast, from beginning to end, Jiang Chen was either confused or silent.
Having read the original story and experienced nine cycles of reincarnation, he naturally knew these were all slanders.
He also couldn’t understand why the elders of the Ancient Pill Tower, even the pill refiner master Dong Yao, were so determined to throw mud at Yu Shi.
But he was happy to see this happen!
The reason for his silence was knowing that if he, the villain, got involved, it would make others suspect there was something fishy!
Glancing at Dong Yao, who was still sobbing, Jiang Chen frowned deeply.
He felt that this person was most likely also mad.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t do such a thing that hurt the enemy a thousand and himself nine hundred and ninety-nine!
But the problem was... it didn’t show!
Regardless, Jiang Chen decided to keep his distance from Dong Yao.
This person was definitely a hidden danger.
“Let’s start the conference quickly! I am here to observe, not to listen to these ugly affairs!” Elder Zheng, sitting above, suddenly spoke.
Glancing at the people from the Jiuyan Sect in the sky, he added: “If the Jiuyan Demonic Sect is here to observe, then please take your seats quickly! Otherwise, it would be defying the Empress’s decree, and you will be punished with the Five Exterminations!”
After giving him a faint glance, Gu Changqing and the others from the Jiuyan Sect had a hint of hostility in their eyes but did not act rashly.
Although they were mad, they were very clear that it was absolutely not beneficial to go against the Imperial Dynasty at this time.
After a light smile, Gu Changqing led his disciples out of the spirit boat, floating down to take a seat next to the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion.
“???”
This left the Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion completely confused.
Why had these madmen come to sit by him?
You should know although the Jiuyan Sect had brought many people this time, there were plenty of other places to accommodate them.
Just as the Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries was confused, Gu Changqing had already approached him and asked: “Where is the divine-grade ancient sword of your Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion?”
“...”
The Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries stiffened, glancing at Jiang Chen.
“Where are the seven killing swords of your Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion?” Gu Changqing asked again.
“...”
The Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries became even more stiff.

“Right, this is for you.” Gu Changqing suddenly took out several low-grade spirit stones.
Seeing the Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries puzzled, he explained: “Jiang Chen is a pillar of our Jiuyan Demonic Sect! Last time, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor helped him resist the lightning and transcend the tribulation. This is a little token of our sect’s appreciation.”
“!!!”
The Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries was furious upon hearing this!
This was outright humiliation!
Others might not know, but he was very clear.
Even to this day, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor was still brooding over the matter, doubting his life in seclusion.
At this moment, the Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries also realized that the reason why Gu Changqing and the others from the Jiuyan Sect came to sit next to him was clearly to humiliate him!
“The Seven Luminaries cannot be insulted!”
The Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries drew his sword from its scabbard, and the sound of the sword echoed around.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing hurriedly complained to Elder Zheng on the high platform: “Elder, the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion wants to provoke trouble! They should be punished with the Five Exterminations!”
“...”
Elder Zheng was speechless.
The Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries was almost angered to death!
Who was really provoking trouble, didn’t they have any sense in their Dao Heart?
“The Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion should move to another seat.” After a while, Elder Zheng instructed.
“Why should my sword pavilion move?” the Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries objected.
In his view, if anyone should change seats, it should be the people from the Jiuyan Sect!
What he didn’t know was Elder Zheng did want the Jiuyan Sect to move, but he didn’t believe that these madmen would listen to him...
In the end, the Grandmaster of the Seven Luminaries led the disciples of the sword pavilion away, grinding his teeth in anger.
It wasn’t that he was admitting defeat.
The Jiuyan Sect had more people and more power, and a fight wouldn’t end well...
After the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion left, the Jiuyan Sect did not continue to trouble other sects.
Gu Changqing took out a huge spirit drum from his spirit ring and started to beat it with rolled-up sleeves.
“Boom, boom, boom...”
The drum sound was deafening, echoing all around.
It made cultivators with lower cultivation dizzy, and even those with higher cultivation found it extremely noisy!
Just as Elder Zheng was about to speak out to stop it, the drumming paused.
Led by the Jiuyan Peak Masters, the people of the Jiuyan Sect stood up at the same time, took out their spirit weapons, and while rhythmically striking them, they puffed out their chests and shouted loudly:
“Jiuyan Sect, invincible!”
“Jiang Chen of the Jiuyan Sect is invincible!”
“Oh——!”
The shouts were deep and resonant, echoing far and wide.
At the same time, hundreds of spirit boats belonging to the Jiuyan Sect fired their spiritual cannons into the sky, creating a thunderous noise!
“Noisy!!”
Elder Zheng could not stand it any longer and scolded loudly, “Are you all here to start a war or to attend a conference?”
“Please forgive us, Elder,” Gu Changqing said with a slight bow of his hands.
“The winner of this Alchemy Conference will undoubtedly be our sect’s prodigy, Jiang Chen. We are merely celebrating in advance.”
“...”
Elder Zheng was speechless.
So were the other sects.
They all grumbled inwardly, thinking that a madman is indeed a madman.
The Alchemy Conference hadn’t even started, and they were already celebrating!
Those unaware would think that the conference was rigged, and Jiang Chen had been predetermined as the champion!
“Hmph!”
Elder Zheng didn’t want to engage with the madmen any longer and, with a cold snort, ignored them.
Seeing that the people from the Jiuyan Sect had quieted down, Yu Shi was about to loudly announce, “The Alchemy Conference is officially beg...”
“Shut up! Get lost!”
Shi Ning suddenly appeared and kicked him in the back.
Stumbling, Yu Shi fell face-first to the ground.
After standing up, Yu Shi wanted to explode with anger.
However, considering he was only the Great Elder and Shi Ning was the Tower Master of the Ancient Pill Tower, he had to swallow his pride and leave dejectedly, handing over the authority to announce the opening of the conference to Shi Ning.
Yu Shi had thought that although Shi Ning was mad, he would still have some sense, especially with an Imperial Pavilion elder present, and would not dare to act recklessly.
But who could have expected that In front of everyone’s eyes... Shi Ning stood in the air and directly declared.
“The Alchemy Conference is over, and the winner of this pill conference is the Ninth Peak’s Eldest Senior Brother from the Jiuyan Sect, Jiang Chen!!”
“????”
Upon hearing this, the entire place was filled with question marks.
“Oh——!”
The people of the Jiuyan Sect shouted in unison again.
Sect Master Gu Changqing, with a satisfied expression, bowed to the crowd and said, “Haha! Thank you all for your generosity! In front of our Jiuyan Sect’s prodigy, Jiang Chen, you are indeed no match no matter how hard you try!”
“????”
Everyone was even more confused!
What’s going on?
The pill conference hadn’t even started, and it was already over?
