Chapter 779: This Matter Is Complicated

Lin Fan knew that Chick was a lecherous rooster, but he never expected that in just five years without seeing him, Chick had actually fathered three chicks.

And each one was more extraordinary than the last; he had no idea how they turned out that way.

"Sigh!"

Lin Fan sighed. He never doubted that these three chicks were Chick's offspring—their builds were completely cast from the same mold.

...

The city lord of Saint Profound City sat there helplessly, for a moment truly at a loss for what to say.

He looked left and right but found no solution, only hoping that this time things would pass peacefully and that he could send these two great deities away soon.

"Hmph!"

Zhiqiao and You Jiuling exchanged glances, then both snorted coldly.

"Junior sister, this time you have to accept it whether you like it or not." In the five years apart, Zhiqiao had shed her childishness, and every move she made carried great authority.

"Why must you be like this, senior sister? After years of fighting, you've never been able to do anything to me. The master's legacy—I am the true inheritor, while you fall short of me," You Jiuling said.

"The Sacred Demon Sect is the true inheritance; what is your so-called Nine Spirits Sect worth?" A trace of disdain flickered across Zhiqiao's delicate face.

"The Sacred Demon Sect was something the senior brother gave to you; I don't need it. You just picked up what no one wanted. The master's illustrious reputation—how could it allow you to become my senior sister in the Nine Spirits Sect?" You Jiuling said contemptuously.

"Junior sisters, can you argue a little less?" Tianyu said helplessly. He still didn't know how things had turned out this way.

A few days before the sect split, everything was fine, but suddenly the two junior sisters proposed splitting the sect and even pressured the senior brother.

"Shut up."

Zhiqiao and You Jiuling turned their heads in unison.

Tianyu sighed helplessly. This was getting caught in the crossfire.

Zhang Ergou sat there, holding his head with one hand, feeling a headache coming on.

As the senior brother, he really didn't know what to say about this matter.

These two junior sisters were the master's favorites. He didn't dare to hit them, and he couldn't bring himself to scold them.

He had thought that the two junior sisters would settle down after making a fuss for a while, but who would have thought it would get more and more serious, to the point of being irreconcilable.

At that moment, Zhang Ergou thought of the sect leader. If the sect leader were here, a single look would be enough to suppress these two girls.

Later, when there was no other choice, Zhang Ergou reluctantly gave orders.

He and Tianyu would follow Zhiqiao.

Mie Qiongqi and Feng Juejue would follow Jiuyou.

In Zhang Ergou's view, this was very fair, without any favoritism.

They even divided the spirit beasts fairly.

Zhiqiao got the Snow King Lion, while Zhang Ergou asked Chick to follow Jiuling.

This was a fair division, leaving the two junior sisters with no complaints.

As for Gong Bingye, she was caught in the middle. She had raised both girls, and in the end, having no choice, she sided with neither and stayed directly in the Sacred Sect.

For Zhang Ergou, it was fortunate that they were strong enough, especially with sects like the Sacred Sect, Profound Sword Pavilion, and Nine Heavens Sect—all with good relations with the sect leader—protecting them.

Otherwise, who knows how many sects would have besieged them over the trouble these two girls caused.

As for the disciples taken in by the two girls when they split off to form their own sects, Zhang Ergou didn't think much of any of them.

He had never recognized the sects the two girls had set up.

He only acknowledged the Sacred Demon Sect with the sect leader at its head, not the sects these two girls had cobbled together.

"Senior brother, tell us, over these years, who has done the best? Who is the master's true successor?" The two girls looked at the senior brother, as if they wouldn't let the matter rest unless he gave an answer.

"Well... actually, you're both good."

Zhang Ergou could only answer that way.

"No, you have to say which one is the best."

Zhang Ergou wanted to roar, "I am your senior brother; if you keep being insolent, there will be consequences," but he only thought it in his heart.

How could he actually roar it out?

"This... this." Zhang Ergou was at a loss for words and finally looked at Feng Juejue.

Zhang Ergou's meaning was clear: as the second senior brother, if you don't say something, it won't do.

Seeing the hint in Zhang Ergou's eyes, Feng Juejue suddenly turned his head and hugged Chick's non-mainstream son in his arms.

"Ah, Chick Two, your feathers are even more splendid today."

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..."

The punk Chick Two raised his flashy head and crowed a few times, expressing happiness.

"Senior brother, you say." The two girls then looked at Mie Qiongqi.

Mie Qiongqi cultivated the "Undying and Indestructible" art, with a firm mind, ruthless toward enemies, and in control of life and death, but even he was somewhat troubled at this moment. Finally, he said seriously:

"This question is a bit complicated. I need to go back and study it carefully. Give me a few years, and I'll give you an answer."

"Senior brother, you're a fence-sitter, swaying both ways. A while ago, you said I was doing well." You Jiuling said unhappily.

A trace of displeasure appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

Mie Qiongqi was already a top expert in the Xuanhuang Realm; even the Sacred Sect leader would no longer be a match for him.

Outside, Mie Qiongqi was the God of Death in everyone's hearts.

If an ordinary person dared to speak like that, they wouldn't even know how they died.

But now, Mie Qiongqi's face was calm, without a ripple, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Mie Qiongqi looked up at the void and couldn't help sighing, "Sect leader, you left so easily, but now you've left this mess behind."

"Chick, you tell me: if I'm doing well, nod; if she's doing well, shake your head." Zhiqiao asked Chick.

"Cock!"

"I'm telling you to nod or shake your head, not to crow."

"Cock!"

Chick lay there like a corpse, no matter what they asked, he just crowed and gave no other response.

Every time they competed, this happened.

For Zhang Ergou and the others, this was nothing short of torture.

Zhiqiao and You Jiuling, not getting the answers they wanted, each snorted coldly, then glared at each other again.

"Let's settle this with real skill. We'll see whether the disciples you taught are better or the ones I taught are better." Zhiqiao said indignantly.

"I'm happy to oblige. When the master was alive, you were never as good as me. Now that the master is gone, do you think the disciples you taught can be better than mine?" You Jiuling said with a smile.

"We'll see."

...

Lin Fan hid among the crowd, sizing up each person on the high seats one by one, nodding repeatedly.

Zhang Ergou's cultivation had grown stronger, reaching the Great Perfection of the Great Heaven realm. At the same time, Zhang Ergou exuded a trace of alchemical aura. In Lin Fan's eyes, Zhang Ergou's alchemy skills had improved greatly.

But the alchemical aura clinging to Zhang Ergou made Lin Fan look at him with some newfound respect.

With Lin Fan's level of alchemy, just from the alchemical aura on a person, he could tell what kind of pills they specialized in refining.

The pills Zhang Ergou refined were mostly lecherous pills.

...

Boom!

"The competition begins!"

At this moment, the important thing had arrived.
