Peerless Immortal God (Beyond The Dao)

Chapter 31- Lotus division

Chapter 31

The Mortal heaven elite competition was to begin in one week. The competition would be held at the main battle arena of the inner court. Every disciple was allowed to participate, but only the top five would gain the chance to become elite disciples.
     
Long Feng, Yan Jian and Li yu'er returned to the sect one week before the competition. Upon returning, they headed to the missions hall. Yan Jian was surprisingly silent throughout.
     
They went over to the Warden who managed the missions hall.

"Long Feng pays respect to Warden." Long Feng clasped his fist. Although Wardens weren't as respected as elders, they still had to be greeted.

The Warden nodded.

Yan Jian handed over a small red bag. Within the bag was the spirit root of the mutant blood ape.

The Warden checked the spirit root and nodded, then glanced at Long Feng and frowned. He recognized Long Feng and didn't feel good about speaking to him, so he turned to Li Yue'er.
"I shall take it as you are the leader of this your team?" He asked.

Li Yue'er nodded unhesitatingly.
Long Feng and Yan Jian stared at her, bewildered. None of them remembered appointing her as their leader.
    
The Warden nodded and handed the thirty Yin crystals over to her.
"You can leave" he dismissed.
        
The three of them left the missions hall and stopped outside. Li Yue'er kept the crystals on the floor. Rich natural energy was being emanated from the Yin crystals, causing them to feel excited.

Li Yue'er took ten out of the crystals and turned to go. Long Feng also grabbed ten before rushing after her, and Yan Jian also followed.
"Miss Li! I thought you wanted fifteen?" Long Feng asked.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Li Yue'er replied.

He shrugged and didn't dwell on it.
     
As they arrived at Li Yue'er's pavilion, they found three people waiting for her. Two women and one man.

One of the women smiled warmly and walked over to Li yu'er, throwing a weird glance at Long Feng.

"Miss! It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Yu meng Hi, a vice leader of the Lotus division." She introduced herself, then pointed at the other lady. "This is Shen Fei, a member of the division." she said and pointed at the man. "And this is Song Ming, also a vice leader of the Lotus division." Yu meng He introduced.

Li Yue'er didn't even blink her eye. Her face was devoid of emotion as she stared at her blankly.

Yu meng he was placed in an awkward situation by the piercing gaze.

"You may not know our division as you are new here. The leader of our division is the fifth among the top ten inner court disciples; Lin Doutian. Our Lotus division is the fourth best within the entire inner court." She said, elevating herself out of her awkward situation, only to fall back right in.

Li Yue'er was silent. Not even her breathing could be heard, as if Yu meng He was speaking to someone else and not her.
   
Long Feng and Yan Jian couldn't help but chuckle slightly. This was what they had to deal with a while ago. From the audience point of view… it was actually funny to watch.

"Miss, we heard of your strength and we sincerely wish to invite you to join our Lotus division. We promise to protect you and aid you in cultivating faster." Yu meng He added. Her smile had disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.

Still, Li yu'er remained silent.
   
Shen Fei and Song Ming frowned, both unable to swallow the indifference attitude.
"We really hope miss would give us a response." Song Ming spoke up.

Finally, Li Yue'er spoke. But her words were more poisonous than her silence.

"Get lost!" She uttered coldly.

Yu meng he's eyes widened in shock.

"What?" Shen Fei asked to be sure.

"Get lost!" Li Yue'er repeated.
Yan Jian burst out laughing
"Damn, she actually repeated it!" He laughed. "Two words. Get, and lost, or are you three deaf? Lotus division? Even the name sounds stupid!" he laughed.

Yu meng He's eyes instantly blazed.
"Very good. You will regret this. All three of you." She said and they turned around to go.

"Wait!" Long Feng spoke up and walked over to them.

Yu meng he glared at him disdainfully.
"We don't deal with trash." She seemed to think he wanted to join their division.

Long Feng Laughed.
"Miss Meng is really funny. I only wanted to give some useful advice. Trust me, you don't want to get on her bad list." he warned, pointing at Li Yue'er.
  
Yu meng he laughed grimly.
"And who the hell is she? Just you all wait!" She snapped.
    
Long Feng smiled and walked back to Yan Jian's side.
"Why did you warn them? I want Miss Li to teach them a lesson. I can't be the only one suffering from her." Yan Jian asked.

Long Feng grinned.
"They were about to leave so I warned them not to anger Miss Li. With their prodes, they won't take it lying down, and they don't know that she is stronger than them, so they will certainly offend her. Miss Li on the other hand will naturally teach them a lesson. That will be their punishment for threatening us." He replied.

Yan Jian laughed out loud. "That's really cool brother Long Feng! Let's see if you're right!"

Just as he predicted, Yu meng He began to taunt Li Yue'er.
"Because your talent is passable, you think you are some sort of big shot?" Yu meng He asked mockingly. "You have no idea what you've done by offending the lotus division!"

"No! Don't misunderstand her. Although she can't beat us, she probably has some big daddy. I bet she would run to his lap and report us to him." Shen Fei added. The three of them laughed.

Li Yue'er frowned deeply and stared at them icily.

"Let her bring whoever she wants. They will all end up crawling away. After we trash him, I bet her boyfriend wouldn't want to see her ever again." Song Ming laughed.

Yan Jian laughed along with them, nearly choking himself.
"Oh this is too funny! To think the witch also has this day? I think I can see devil horns growing out of her forehead!" He laughed.
     
"You've spoken enough. Get lost now while you still can!" Li Yue'er warned coldly.

Yu meng he and her team burst out laughing.
"This girl must be insane." Shen Fei said.

"Hmph! Since she dared to reject and insult our Lotus division, we will make her life in this sect miserable." Yu meng he added.
    
Suddenly, she chocked and her face paled. Li Yue'er was grasping her neck! And most importantly, no one apart from Long feng saw how or when she did it!

Yu meng He was merely a rank eight connate cultivator. The rest were even weaker than her.

"How dare you!" Shen Fei regained her senses and charged at Li yu'er.
 
Without bothering to look, Li Yue'er slapped out.
    
A resounding sound echoed repeatedly. Shen Fei had been slapped so hard that five bright red fingers appeared glaringly on her snow white face. Her face had swollen beyond imagination. She was flung far away by the sheer force of the slap!

Long Feng and Yan Jian had to cover their mouths to stop themselves from laughing too loud.
"I don't like to repeat myself!" Li Yue'er spoke.
   
Yu meng he's face was very pale. Fear filled her face. Li Yue'er flung her aside and looked at Song Ming.
"I will leave on my own" Song Ming said cooly with suppressed shock as he helped the other two to their feet. Shen Fei's eyes were blood shot as she glared at Li Yue'er.

"I'll make you pay for this! You won't get away. The lotus division will make your life a living hell!" She screamed as they walked away. She kept shouting curses and threats until they were out of sight.
