Chapter 62 Since ancient times, the victor is king and the loser is villain; those without the sacre
The two old men were trembling with anger. Jiang Hanzhong immediately launched into a tirade, angrily saying:
"Shameless brat, if it weren't for you, how could we be in such a sorry state!"
Ji Yunfeng was also extremely resentful, and said to the elder of the Ji family, "It was this guy who made us return empty-handed."
The elders of the Ji and Jiang families squinted their eyes.
Elder Li from the Yao Guang Holy Land coughed and asked, "Lu Sheng, tell me, is what they said true?"
"Of course it's not true. They're useless, cowardly, and weak. They couldn't pick the sacred medicine and were afraid of death, so they made up this excuse."
While the two men were trembling with anger, Lu Sheng took out a jade box, smiled slightly, and opened it, releasing an alluring aroma into the air.
The elders from the three families stared wide-eyed as a round, golden sun fruit quietly emitted a faint glow inside the jade box.
Even though the radiance was faint, the aura of the sacred medicine was unmistakable.
Lu Sheng said smugly, "Since ancient times, the victor is king and the loser is villain. Elder Li, I think this sacred medicine should be more effective than any excuse."
Elder Li of the Yao Guang Holy Land said breathlessly, "Good, good, good, good, Lu Sheng, you truly deserve to be an outstanding disciple of my Yao Guang Holy Land. The Supreme Elder was right about you."
Lu Sheng said leisurely, "Trash only make excuses for their failures. True cultivators silently complete their tasks and amaze everyone with their achievements."
The cannon fodder from the Ji and Jiang families trembled with rage, while the elder of the Jiang family squinted and asked:
Is there only one?
The elders of the Yao Guang Holy Land quickly asked, "Are there any other sacred medicines?"
"That's all. I wasn't very lucky. There was only one on the mountain I climbed. But I did collect a lot of the divine spring water, which might have some effect."
Lu Sheng took out a magical gourd, which had a lot of space inside.
Jiang Hanzhong said, "Impossible. It's too much of a coincidence that there's only one. You must have kept it or eaten it. Yes, you must have eaten it secretly, otherwise how could you have stayed inside for so long and come out with your appearance unchanged?"
He said angrily, "Elder, I suggest we search him. He must still have something on him."
Lu Sheng sneered:
"Gentlemen, be grateful that you've survived. What kind of hero turns the tables? You two were tempted and conspired with the traitor Old Xu to brand me as a puppet. I haven't even settled accounts with you for using me to gather herbs yet."
"If it weren't for the wise elders of our holy land who recognized my talent and entrusted me with the forbidden artifact, and if it weren't for the fact that my forbidden artifact is extremely special, sealing the divine power of the Supreme Elder."
"I'm afraid I've already been used up by you all and died in this desolate forbidden land."
He pleaded pitifully, "Elder Li, you must stand up for me! The Jiang family has been secretly colluding with the Ji family for a long time, and they've even planted spies in our Yao Guang Holy Land."
"Now they're even questioning me, the only one who harvested the sacred medicine."
"My loyalty to the Yao Guang Holy Land is as clear as the sun and moon."
"Elder Li, you must not be deceived by them. They want to steal the sacred medicine I picked."
"Look, those two families are getting closer and closer, looking for an opportunity to ambush you and steal the sacred medicine from me. Elder Li, quickly take me away, be careful they don't make a move!"
Elder Li of the Yao Guang Holy Land glanced around and saw that Jiang Yunfeng and Ji Hanzhong were almost standing together, and the other two were also very close.
Startled, he immediately shielded Lu Sheng behind him and said to the two elders of the powerful families:
"Gentlemen, we agreed beforehand that the sacred medicine would be distributed according to each person's ability. If there are extras, we can discuss it. But there is only one, and our patron in our sacred land will never give it up under any circumstances."
"At most, I'll give you some of the sacred spring water."
Jiang Hanzhong's eyes blazed with fury as he said, "Elder, we can't let them go! The people from Yaoguang Holy Land are using trickery. They're deliberately sabotaging our operation and trying to take everything for themselves."
"This kid must still have some sacred fruit hidden away. We absolutely can't let them get away with it so easily."
Lu Sheng sneered, "Envious, aren't you? You good-for-nothing, if you're so capable, go in yourself! Is your Jiang family so poor you can't even afford another forbidden artifact?"
"Since you're so poor, our Yao Guang Holy Land can kindly lend you some. If you can't pay it back, we can use your imperial weapons as collateral and borrow them to observe you for a few days."
"You piece of trash, just lie down on the ground and don't bark at me like a dog."
"Those who have not plucked the sacred fruit are not worthy to speak to me."
"You!" Jiang Hanzhong's eyes were bloodshot with rage.
"What do you mean, 'you'? History is written by the victors, not the vanquished. Do I need to repeat the facts again?"
Lu Sheng sneered, "As expected of the scum of a noble family, the Jiang family whose sons don't even have dermatitis."
The elder of the Jiang family frowned and said, "The dignity of a noble family cannot be insulted. Does your Yao Guang Holy Land intend to start a war?"
"You dare to challenge me?" Lu Sheng remained unfazed and continued, "I am the benefactor of your Jiang family."
"Without me, your Jiang family's bloodline that had been scattered would have been wiped out long ago. It was I who helped them avenge their deaths, and only then did your main family manage to take them away."
"Elder Ji over there, didn't your family's cannon fodder tell you about this?"
"The Jiang family is shameless and despicable. Before I even joined the Yao Guang Holy Land, just because I had many spiritual weapons and was still their benefactor, Jiang Yichen sent knights to assassinate me."
"Such a fickle and despicable family, how dare your Ji family cooperate with them?"
The elder of the Jiang family angrily retorted, "Nonsense!"
"Don't believe me? You can go back and ask Uncle Jiang, ask Xiao Tingting, ask the people from Jiang Zhe's lineage, ask Jiang Yifei and Jiang Caixuan, ask them if they know me, and ask if this matter is true."
Lu Sheng scoffed, "We, the people of Yao Guang Holy Land, are upright and honest throughout our lives, which is why we can cultivate the sect's ultimate technique, the Holy Light Art. The Holy Light protects every Yao Guang disciple and guides us to never stray from the righteous path."
"Your Jiang family, a family that repays kindness with enmity, will get your comeuppance sooner or later."
He wanted to gossip about the Goddess Furnace, but seeing the fire blazing in the eyes of the person opposite him, he decided to stop. What if he really got into a fight with him?
The elders of the Ji family discreetly stepped away. Their family had only gotten involved halfway through, so if they couldn't get the sacred medicine, so be it; it wouldn't have a big impact.
As they spoke, cultivators from the Yao Guang Holy Land began to appear around them, indicating that the news had already been disseminated.
The elder of the Jiang family was furious, but he did indeed know about the return of Jiang Zhe's descendants.
This is not a high-profile matter, after all, it was not honorable for Jiang Zhe to be driven away in anger back then.
Since Lu Sheng was able to explain it so clearly, he was obviously a firsthand witness.
If this continues, the Jiang family will truly lose all face.
Seeing that the number of cultivators from the Yao Guang Holy Land was increasing, he glared at Lu Sheng, then snorted coldly at his own Jiang Hanzhong:
"Useless thing."
Having said that, it flew away, unwilling to linger any longer.
The Ji family members bowed and departed on the rainbow.
We can't very well start a war with the Holy Land over this; that would be a far greater sin than failing to harvest the Holy Fruit.
Since we've failed again, let it fail.
