The Ma-Ling Duo Went on a Rampage!
The Bright Light Sect is famous for its Bright Light Orthodox Art (Orthodox Dharma), which is said to be the nemesis of evil spirits. Therefore, the Bright Light Sect can be considered a long-established and prestigious orthodox sect.
Therefore, countless people come to the Bright Light Sect each time they want to become disciples.
However, this time the disciple recruitment seems to be a bit off...
Countless young people who came to the Bright Light Sect hoping to pay homage to the Bright Light Orthodox Art had no chance to see it before they witnessed the Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts...
The terrifying vengeful ghost suppressed the Bright Light Sect's Bright Light Orthodox Art without a word.
The once righteous Bright Light Sect was now rife with evil spirits. Those who knew about it understood it was due to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation, but those who didn't might have thought they'd stumbled into a ghost realm...
What happened to the Bright Light Sect's promise to emphasize the Bright Light Orthodox Art?
What the hell does it mean that ghosts are running rampant everywhere?
Ma Liang initially refused Junior Sister Ouyang's request to open the Fengdu Grand Formation to celebrate for the Bright Light Sect.
We are the Vast Heaven Sect... the number one sect in the world, shouldn't we have some bottom line in our actions?
Ouyang Ling pondered for a long time but still couldn't understand what Senior Brother Ma Liang meant by the bottom line.
What? Senior Brother Ma Liang, are you worried that outsiders will say our Vast Heaven Sect misused the Fengdu Grand Formation?
Who said that?
What evidence do you have to prove that these vengeful ghosts were created by our Vast Heaven Sect's Fengdu Grand Formation?
I urge you to be kind!
There is absolutely no evidence to prove that this is the Fengdu Grand Formation of our Vast Heaven Sect!
Therefore, since you said that, our Vast Heaven Sect can sue you for defamation!
Moreover, my Senior Brother Ma Liang felt extremely uncomfortable when faced with slander, so he had to rest for a while. After that, no one could send any disciple into the Fengdu Grand Formation.
So, in this situation, are you telling me you still believe this is my Senior Brother Ma Liang's Fengdu Grand Formation?
If you still believe this, please provide evidence... Even if you do provide evidence, my Vast Heaven Sect will resolutely deny it!
Doesn't the Bright Light Sect like to practice the Bright Light Orthodox Art?
Isn't he supposed to be the nemesis of all evil spirits?
We're just here to help the Bright Light Sect; we just want to give Bright Light Sect a chance to practice on evil spirits.
What?
You said that placing the Ghost Emperor directly in the Bright Light Sect was a bit outrageous... What's so outrageous about it...?
Having the Ghost Emperor accompany your Bright Light Sect in practicing demon-controlling techniques—isn't that a rare opportunity?
As for these children who came to the Bright Light Sect wanting to join their sect?
Are you willing to take the blame?
How is your sleep quality?
Can you still sleep if ghosts are flying around your house in the middle of the night?
If you don't sleep well, I recommend you choose another sect; the Bright Light Sect is not a place you can handle.
On the same day, Ouyang Ling used the Fengdu Grand Formation to dissuade one-third of the disciples who wanted to join the Bright Light Sect.
Bright Light Sect was so angry that he said he would go to the Vast Heaven Sect to complain to the Grand Elder.
This Bright Light Sect master is truly resolute; he genuinely intends to go...
The problem was that as soon as they stepped out of the Bright Light Sect's gate, they fell into the Ghost Emperor's illusion... right there at the Bright Light Sect's gate, they witnessed what it meant to be trapped in a ghostly maze.
That circle was so perfectly round!
Forget about going to the Vast Heaven Sect to complain; if he can even get out of this circle, it's a loss for the Ghost Emperor!
Just when the Bright Light Sect's mind was about to go numb from all the going in circles, the elders of the Bright Light Sect personally came out to repay all the debts owed to the Vast Heaven Sect, thus saving the sect master from dying from exhaustion after running around in circles.
After accepting the debt, Ouyang Ling didn't say much. She arranged for Ma Liang to immediately withdraw from the Fengdu Grand Formation and leave on the spot.
As for the Bright Light Sect's cursing and swearing about going to the Vast Heaven Sect to complain, Ouyang Ling agreed. However, Ouyang Ling carefully reminded Bright Light Sect that she had recently heard that the Demonic Sect was rampant and the outside world was not peaceful.
Going out at this time, if you accidentally run into some familiar Ghost Emperor, being killed isn't so scary. The real fear is that some Ghost Emperors have inherited Tantai Jing's hobbies and might start touching your tea at the drop of a hat. You'd think you could live with that...
As expected, the Bright Light Sect was someone who listened to advice. He immediately announced that he would be going into seclusion for a while, and he didn't even plan to leave the Vast Heaven Sect, let alone the Bright Light Sect.
Subsequently, Ma Liang took Ouyang Ling on a journey to various places, Ma Liang's worldview was repeatedly challenged by Junior Sister Ouyang.
There's nothing in this world that I, Junior Sister Ouyang, wouldn't dare to do, only things you haven't even imagined.
As for bottom lines... not only does my Junior Sister Ouyang lack them, but recently even I, Ma Liang, am almost gone...
Indeed, one is influenced by one's company; and one becomes corrupted by the Ouyang Lineage...
However, with Ouyang Ling's frequent actions, a large number of bad debts were cleared up, and the resources used for repayment were transported back to the Vast Heaven Sect.
On this day, Chu Xinghe was idly slacking off at the Technique Repository Tower, without provoking or offending anyone.
Senior Brother Shen Chun, holding the Elder's Token, suddenly appeared from some unexpected corner.
"Junior Brother Xinghe, the Grand Elder is looking for you!"
"Huh? You're calling me again? Is it good news or bad news?"
"Judging from the Grand Elder's expression, this is probably bad news!"
"That's great... cough cough... too much trouble... I'll go right now." Chu Xinghe hummed "Wishing you prosperity" as he rushed to the Spirit Crane Palace, but as soon as he entered, Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on? Why is Spirit Crane Palace piled up with so many resources?
Soon, with the explanation from his Senior Brother Feng Fei, Chu Xinghe learned the origin of these resources.
Are all of the Vast Heaven Sect's past bad debts and uncollectible accounts?
Chu Xinghe's first reaction to Senior Brother Feng Fei's explanation was, "Senior Brother Feng Fei, what the hell are you talking to me about?"
Do you know what bad debts or uncollectible debts are?
That means we can't get it back... But now all the bad debts and uncollectible debts are coming back at once, isn't that a bit too outrageous?
And what about Senior Brother Shen Chun... What happened to the bad stuff you were promised? Do you even call this a bad thing?
Didn't Ma Liang always fail at collecting debts? Why did things suddenly turn out like this?
Soon, Chu Xinghe learned the reason from his Senior Brother Feng Fei.
Ma Liang repeatedly failed when he went to collect debts alone, but Ma Liang did so with Ouyang Ling.
When Chu Xinghe heard the name Ouyang Ling, he knew something was wrong.
How could I have forgotten about the Ouyang Lineage?
In the Vast Heaven Sect, if you're talking about experience in collecting debts, no one really has it. But if you're talking about experience in defaulting on debts, the Ouyang Lineage is absolutely top-notch.
The only family that can defeat such a notorious deadbeat is the even more notorious Ouyang Lineage...
So Ma Liang took Ouyang Ling there. Who the hell would dare to owe our Vast Heaven Sect a debt?
Uh... where's the bad news? This isn't bad news at all!
Soon... when Chu Xinghe met the Grand Elder, he finally understood why Senior Brother Shen Chun had said it was bad news.
Looking at the countless resources that had been returned before him, the Grand Elder's face showed little smile, but rather deep worry.
Chu Xinghe's first thought was, "Could the Grand Elder be worried about how to spend these resources?"
Thankfully, it wasn't that. Soon, from the First Elder's words, Chu Xinghe finally understood why Senior Brother Shen Chun had said it was a bad thing.
Because Ma Liang and Ouyang Ling have gone berserk...
In a short period of time, the Ma-Ling Duo swept through more than a dozen sects or Lineage that owed Vast Heaven Sect money.
Wherever she went, she was invincible. No matter how shameless the debtor was, they were all utterly defeated in front of Ouyang Ling.
The methods used by Ma-Ling Duo were somewhat outrageous.
For example, the Sikong Lineage. It is said that the head of the Sikong Lineage chose to avoid seeing Ma Liang and Ouyang Ling, only saying that Sikong Heng was in seclusion.
Upon learning of this Ouyang Ling did not pressure the Sikong Lineage to repay the debt. Instead, she quickly befriended the women of the Sikong Lineage and stated that she, Ouyang Ling, was not there to collect the debt but primarily to help the Sikong Lineage.
After hearing about the Sikong Lineage's lack of offspring, Ouyang Ling offered to help. "Lack of offspring, huh? I can cure that!"
I have medicine here from the Everlasting Spring Palace, which is specially used to cure infertility!
Without a word, Ouyang Ling drugged all the ladies of the Sikong Lineage and introduced them to several... cough cough... young talents...
It was only because Sikong Heng discovered it in time that things could have turned out this way; otherwise, who knows what might have happened to the Sikong Lineage...
Sikong Heng repaid the debt to the Vast Heaven Sect overnight. He had no choice; with Ouyang Ling's help, the Sikong Lineage's offspring would surely be extremely numerous next year...
Then there's the Departing Fire Sect. They gave Ma-Ling Duo a warm welcome and even sent their young sect leader to accompany them.
That very night, however, Ouyang Ling pointed at the young sect leader and accused him of coveting Senior Brother Ma Liang's good looks and plotting against him.
Listen to this! Is this even human language?
If you were to say that the vice sect leader has taken a liking to you, Ouyang Ling, that would be one thing, but you're talking about Ma Liang? Doesn't our Vast Heaven Sect have any idea what Ma Liang looks like?
Besides, that young sect leader is a man...
However, it is said that Ma Liang agreed with Ouyang Ling's statement on the spot and threatened to tell the world about the young sect leader of the Departing Fire Sect's improper treatment of him.
The master of the Departing Fire Sect was completely dumbfounded...
Um... are you from the Vast Heaven Sect?
You are the number one sect in the world... If you do this, our Departing Fire Sect will lose face, but what about your Vast Heaven Sect?
As a result, Ouyang Ling declared without warning that Ma Liang was merely an outer disciple of their Vast Heaven Sect, and that they would expel Ma Liang from the sect upon their return. She accused Ma Liang of being utterly shameless, and challenged the young sect leader of the Departing Fire Sect to the same fate.
That very night, the Departing Fire Sect sold everything he owned to pay off his debts. It is said that the young sect leader of the Departing Fire Sect was so badly wronged that he became depressed.
People are developing a phobia of strangers now.
Besides the Departing Fire Sect, there is also the Strange Weapons Sect, famous for its weapon crafting.
Ouyang Ling, the world's number one spirit-binding master, personally went there. The Strange Weapons Sect attached great importance to it, and the Strange Weapons Sect leader was fearless.
He immediately expressed his hope that Ouyang Ling could offer some guidance.
How could Ouyang Ling refuse the request from the leader of the Strange Weapons Sect? She immediately began to guide the Strange Weapons Sect.
After just one day of instruction, I heard that the furnace of the Strange Weapons Sect exploded... Under Ouyang Ling's guidance, the failure rate of the Strange Weapons Sect's senior spirit-binding masters has been skyrocketing.
The problem is that Ouyang Ling is the number one spirit-possessing master in the world, and what she points out actually sounds quite reasonable... You can't really refute her.
Ouyang Ling stated that she would never leave until she had mastered the art of the Strange Weapons Sect.
I heard that the leader of the Strange Weapons Sect paid back the money that very day...
Are you, Ouyang Ling, trying to take our guidance to its absolute pinnacle?
You want to distribute the luggage on the spot, just like we suggested...?
