Grassroots Idol

Suddenly, the Hundred Charm Demoness grabbed him. Staring at him, she asked, "Are you really going to leave me here alone?"

"Well!" Yue Qianchou chuckled, "You're not Rogue Cultivator, and you didn't get paid, so why bother joining in the fun?" He then turned and waved to the two captains and six Company Commanders, saying, "Come with me."

The eight people followed Yue Qianchou toward a flying magical Law Artifact. The woman in Ziyi's eyes lit up, and she followed without hesitation. Hundred Charm Demoness paused for a moment, then suddenly giggled and said, "So what if I didn't take any money? I don't want any money." She followed with a seductive smile.

Yue Qianchou paused, turned around, and was speechless for a moment. He had never seen such a shameless woman. Then he led the group onto the flying Law Artifact. They looked around and saw that it was decorated with many fluorescent stones for lighting. Although it was empty, it was brand new and shiny.

After examining a jade tablet, Yue Qianchou smiled slightly, walked to one end, and stepped on a square, immediately hearing the whirring of a spring at the bottom. Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up as the protective shields on the left, right, and top retracted with a "whoosh," revealing eight transparent crystal windows that offered an unobstructed view of the outside scenery.

Dongfang Changao and Chou Wuyuan, who were outside, were startled by the strange thing's commotion. How did it suddenly grow eyes? Then they saw Yue Qianchou and the others standing in front of the transparent crystal at the front of the cone, gesturing and pointing at the outside.

"These eight windows allow those piloting flying magical Law Artifact to observe the outside world without being exposed to the wind and sun. In case of an emergency, the windows can be closed at any time," Yue Qianchou explained, pointing to the ring of transparent crystal windows around him. He then stepped on the square beneath his feet, and everyone's vision went black as the eight windows were indeed closed again. Stepping on it again, the windows opened once more.

As everyone was still in surprise, Yue Qianchou stepped on the remaining squares under his feet. With a whirring sound, a wide and sturdy seat rose up behind him. He sat down comfortably and pointed to the platform in front of him that had risen up and was filled with Spirit Stone, saying with a smile, "This is where you replenish your Spirit Stone. The person piloting the flying artifact can sit here and easily control the entire flying Law Artifact."

To everyone's astonishment, Yue Qianchou got up and put everything away, then went into the spacious cabin. Following his pointing finger, everyone saw that on the bottom of the cabin, there was a square every two meters or so, clearly containing some kind of mystery.

Sure enough, Yue Qianchou walked to the side, stepped down, and a sturdy chair rose up. He sat down, felt for the small hand valve beside him, and pulled it. The seat back could be comfortably reclined, leaving the group speechless. Then he pulled down another hand valve on the bulkhead, revealing a small, transparent window. After closing it again, Yue Qianchou stood up and smiled, "Those sitting on the side can observe the outside movements from here."

After demonstrating it once, he quickly copied the jade tablet in his hand into eight copies and handed them to the two team leaders and six Company Commander, saying, "I've done it once, so you should understand the general meaning. The control methods are all similar, so you'll know once you take a look."

As they were talking with smiles, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "Each of the six companies will have one flying magical Law Artifact, and the two team leaders will each be responsible for three. Maintain contact with each other, and after takeoff, immediately coordinate to form a combat formation. The target is the coast of the East China Sea. Execute the order immediately."

Upon receiving the order, the eight men immediately perked up and responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

The mysterious flying Law Artifact then appeared in a flash, leaving Ziyi and Hundred Charm Demoness completely stunned, as if they were dreaming. Then, Yue Qianchou walked to the rear cabin with his hands behind his back, opened a door, and swaggered inside.

Could there be something new inside? The two women exchanged glances, then quickly followed him inside. In the not-so-large space, there was a large bed and a recliner. Yue Qianchou activated a mechanism, and a large protective shell suddenly retracted above his head, letting in brilliant sunlight. Then he leisurely leaned back in the recliner, squinting in the sun, looking very relaxed.

There was even a bed and a recliner on the flying Law Artifact? The two goddesses stared blankly at the small space. Suddenly, the flying Law Artifact began to shake. Hundred Charm Demoness blinked and quickly walked to the transparent crystal window. She saw that six flying Law Artifact, including this one, had slowly taken off and turned around to adjust their direction.

Below, Dongfang Changao and Chou Wuyuan and knowledgeable throughout their lives, had never seen such bizarre flying magical Law Artifact. They watched as six flying Law Artifact formed a formation in the air, one leading, with two diagonally arranged on each side. Yue Qianchou's artifact was sandwiched in the middle of this "human"-shaped formation, becoming a tiny dot within the human figure. The six flying Law Artifact adjusted their direction and quickly flew eastward.

They could vaguely see through the transparent window of the middle ship that Yue Qianchou was lying on a deck chair, waving to them...

"This kid has finally made something of himself. This is going to be difficult." Dongfang Changao and smiled bitterly, then turned to the person next to him and said, "He came prepared! There's going to be some excitement on the shores of the East China Sea."

Chou Wuyuan said with a grim face, "We need to get the message out quickly so that the various sects can prepare." The two exchanged a glance and quickly headed into Hundred Flower Valley...

Ziyi and Hundred Charm Demoness were perched in front of the transparent crystal window, chattering excitedly like two little girls, pointing at the white clouds drifting by outside and laughing endlessly, as if they had never seen them before. Yue Qianchou lazily rolled over on the soft recliner and continued to snore.

The Hundred Charm Demoness turned around, glanced at him, and walked over with a smile. She plopped down on the recliner and forcefully poked someone's lower back with her sharp index finger. Yue Qianchou let out a howl, sat up abruptly, rubbing his lower back and glaring at her angrily, shouting, "Are you ever going to stop? What do you want?"

The Hundred Charm Demoness wasn't angry. She glanced around, thinking, "Luckily I had the nerve to come up here, otherwise how would I have witnessed such a flying Law Artifact?" With that thought, she gave Yue Qianchou an incredibly seductive wink. Yue Qianchou shuddered, instantly losing all his temper. He tried to get up to avoid the enchantress, but she grabbed his hand and asked, "Tell me, was this flying Law Artifact really made by the Jing family of the Four Great Families?"

"Is she trying to use her beauty to seduce me?!" Yue Qianchou struggled to free his arm but couldn't break free. He smiled bitterly and said, "Palace Mistress Ye, let's talk things out. Stop pulling and tugging, okay?"

Ziyi glanced back at the two men; she was already used to their similar behavior. She turned back and pressed her face against the clear window, her pure eyes watching the various shapes of white clouds being tossed about rapidly into the distance.

The Hundred Charm Demoness glanced at the Ziyi, bit her tempting red lips with her silver teeth, grabbed Yue Qianchou, and whispered in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids, "Don't call me Palace Mistress Ye anymore. My real name is Ye Qun. Just call me Ye Qun." Her voice was like a bewitching whisper, incredibly seductive.

Call me Ye Qun? This is messed up! Yue Qianchou's expression twitched, and he resolutely refused the temptation, saying, "Don't give me that. You just want to know where this flying Law Artifact came from, don't you?"

The Hundred Charm Demoness withdrew her hand, blinked, and said with a feigned surprise, "You saw through that? That's right. I was wondering, with such a comfortable design, my Crimson Powder Sect will have to buy one someday."

Having escaped the clutches of evil, Yue Qianchou turned and sat down by the bed, waving his hand and saying, "The Jing family made it right, you can just buy it from them. I'm just afraid you can't afford it."

"How many Spirit Stone do you need?" Hundred Charm Demoness pressed.

"Once you figure out what this flying Law Artifact is made of, you won't ask anymore," Yue Qianchou chuckled. Hundred Charm Demoness, upon hearing this, indeed stopped pressing the matter and began carefully examining the vessel inside.

On the shores of the East China Sea, in an abandoned mansion, the various factions gathered again. After receiving news from Dongfang Changao and Chou Wuyuan, they exchanged glances. This group had tried to poach Yue Qianchou 'Yue Qianchou people, only to be swindled out of 60 million by him instead. Bi Shan of the Four Great Families sneered to himself. "He doesn't even know who Yue Qianchou is," he thought. "He tries to take a bite out of everything, and now he's got what he deserves—he broke his own teeth instead of getting anything."

"We can't let that kid get away with this." Zhu Xianxian of the Daluo Sect suddenly spoke up with a stern face. The group of people all had a mocking look on their faces. It seemed that this guy was the one who came up with the idea. If Yue Qianchou found out the inside story, who knows who would be the one who couldn't get away with it.

However, it was unlikely to be kept secret forever. Everyone glanced at Bi Shan, who remained silent with a cold smile. Given the relationship between the Four Great Families and Yue Qianchou probably already knew. Perhaps Yue Qianchou had personally led his men here to settle scores with the Daluo Sect. After all, no matter how arrogant Yue Qianchou was, he wouldn't go against the entire Huaxia Cultivation World; he was most likely targeting the leading sect Daluo Sect.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Xianxian looked around in astonishment and said, "Does no one want to get back the Spirit Stone that belong to their own sect? Are we just going to let him cheat us out of our lives like this?"

Yuan Jiukui of the Six Paths Demonic Sect chuckled and said, "How do we take it? By snatching it back or tricking it back? Do you really think that issuing a decree in the name of the Cultivation Alliance can force him to hand it over?"

"Yuan Jiukui, your idea is excellent." Zhu Xianxian's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh, shouting to the crowd, "We'll issue a decree in the name of the Cultivation Alliance. Does he dare to oppose the entire Cultivation Alliance?"

Yuan Jiukui immediately rolled his eyes and sneered, "Zhu Xianxian, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean my idea is good? If you want to do it, then do it, but don't drag me into it." He then stood up and said, "With a great battle imminent, I advise everyone to make a careful decision, lest the Cultivation Alliance cause trouble for itself. I can't make this decision on my own; I need to consult with the elders within my sect. I'll take my leave now." Those present were only the people responsible for negotiations and liaison from each sect. The true masters were not present.

"Yuan Jiukui, your Six Paths Demonic Sect is a major sect, why are you so afraid of trouble?" Zhu Xianxian's face darkened, and he actually used a provocation tactic.

Yuan Jiukui, who was walking out, turned around, stared at him, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Zhu Xianxian, some things are better left in the past. There's no need to hold grudges. Why make things like this? Sigh! You all continue your discussion. In any case, our Six Paths Demonic Sect will abide by the final decision of the Cultivation Alliance." Then, as he turned and walked away, he said, "I almost forgot, I need to quickly instruct the secret sentries in various places within the sect. That kid is capable of anything. We must make sure that we don't run into him and cause any accidents."

As the group watched him disappear through the door, Bi Shan stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "My Four Great Families, like the Six Paths Demonic Sect, abide by the final decision of the Cultivation Alliance. I have other matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."

One or two people took the lead, and various factions found excuses to withdraw. In the end, only Zhu Xianxian remained, sitting there with an uncertain expression. The proper discussion had just fallen apart...

Leaving the two women to frolic in the room, Yue Qianchou opened the hatch, stepped out, and then closed it again. Inside, over a hundred people sat neatly in two rows. Hearing the commotion, they all stood up and bowed. Yue Qianchou for everyone to sit down and asked the approaching captain of the large group, "How's the control of the flying Law Artifact? Are you getting used to it?"

"Excellent, better than any I've piloted before," the captain said excitedly. As they were talking, the flying Law Artifact suddenly slowed down, and the two men swayed. The captain whirled around and shouted, "First Company, what's going on?"

"Captain, someone has blocked the second team's leading flying Law Artifact!" the First Company piloting the Law Artifact shouted back. The first team leader flashed to the front, seemingly communicating with the second team.

Yue Qianchou walked slowly with an expressionless face. Looking through the transparent window, he saw more than a dozen people piloting a small flying Law Artifact blocking his way. He snorted coldly and said, "Let's find out who's blocking our way first."

The captain nodded and quickly figured it out via telepathy, then reported, "It's a patrol formed by several small sects of the Cultivation Alliance, and they want us to show our pass tokens."

Yue Qianchou's expression softened slightly, and he nodded, saying, "They are doing their duty; we should cooperate with them."

The captain received the order, opened the hatch, and flew out. After showing his pass and negotiating with the people, they not only didn't leave but followed him. The captain slipped inside and asked, "They say they've long admired your name and wish to pay you a visit." There's a rule in the Special Forces Team that the title "leader" can no longer be used outside.

"Huh? Oh! Let them in!" Yue Qianchou said, somewhat taken aback. The captain led the group to the cabin door and let more than a dozen people in at once. As soon as these people from small sects entered, they immediately saw about a hundred masked men staring at them. They became somewhat uneasy and nervous, having heard that these people were all experts at the Tribulation Transcendence stage!

"This is Mr. Yue, whom you have been waiting for," the team leader pointed. Yue Qianchou walked over with a hearty laugh, cupped his hands in a friendly gesture, and said with a smile, "You have all worked hard. I am Yue Qianchou. I wonder how I can be of service to you all?"

Although Yue Qianchou's reputation wasn't great, his rags-to-riches story had long been a popular topic of conversation among the junior disciples of various sects, and countless ordinary disciples dreamed of becoming like Yue Qianchou. When Yan Bugui brought his men to challenge them, Yue Qianchou killed his opponent with a single strike. Although the junior disciples of various sects didn't witness it firsthand, they recounted it with great fanfare, especially his famous line, "What does it matter if I'm famous or not? One strike is enough!", which fueled the fervent worship of the junior disciples from each sect.

These people happened to be stationed there to check suspicious cultivators. When they saw six imposing flying magical Law Artifact, they assumed it was someone from a major sect. They never expected to encounter a legendary grassroots idol. So one of them boldly asked the captain for an audience. The captain initially wanted to refuse, but then remembered that Yue Qianchou was there and he couldn't make the decision for him, so he asked for permission. To his surprise, Yue Qianchou agreed without hesitation.

The junior disciples had assumed that Yue Qianchou would be like those figures from major sects, offering only perfunctory words. To their surprise, he was so agreeable. The group of junior disciples immediately relaxed and bowed in unison, saying, "We have long admired your esteemed name, sir, and have come to pay our respects."

"No need to be so polite. We're all friends now. If you keep being so polite, I'll get annoyed." Yue Qianchou said, feigning anger, "Do you also think I'm like the rumors say, some kind of Scum of the Cultivation World?"

The dozen or so people, having been exposed by his words, scratched their heads and laughed awkwardly. One of them mustered his courage and replied, "To be honest, sir, we were indeed a little worried before, but now that we have met you, we know that those words were all rumors."

"Yes! I believe you're telling the truth. Besides being a person of integrity, I also admire people who speak the truth the most." Yue Qianchou patted his shoulder kindly and sighed, "But rumors are a terrible thing! Perhaps many years later, when you have achieved some level of cultivation, you will inevitably encounter similar slander. I hope you can handle it calmly then. Don't be like me, sometimes I couldn't help myself and ended up fighting. Even when I was clearly in the right, the more I made a scene, the worse my reputation became. Alas! I am a cautionary tale. I hope you can learn from my mistakes. This is my advice to you as someone who has been through it all!"

The group of people seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this. The disciple who had been patted on the shoulder said somewhat excitedly, "In my opinion, someone is clearly jealous of you, Master, and is deliberately spreading rumors to slander you. But so what? If I had your abilities, Master, I would never forgive anyone who dared to speak ill of me like that."

"That's a shallow statement, a very shallow one!" Yue Qianchou shook his shoulder and gently advised, "Don't follow my example. If that day ever comes, you must be patient when necessary. Remember, taking a step back opens up a vast expanse, and patience brings calm. Don't be impulsive, understand?"

When the flying Law Artifact stopped, Ziyi and Hundred Charm Demoness in the rear cabin had already opened the hatch to see what was going on. Now, hearing Yue Qianchou's earnest and tireless teaching, Hundred Charm Demoness's expression was indescribably strange.

Seeing a group of young cultivators of varying abilities remaining silent, Yue Qianchou patted the disciple on the shoulder again and laughed, "It's fate that we met, let's not talk about unhappy things. This is my newly purchased flying magic Law Artifact, which is unique in the Cultivation World. Dongfang Changao Fu Xian Island and Chou Wuyuan from the Myriad Demon Palace wanted to come up and take a look, but I coaxed them away. Everyone might as well take some time to visit it, so that I can fulfill my duty as a host."

Hearing that even someone as famous as him wasn't qualified to come here, these people were indeed eager to try, but after glancing at each other, they all bowed to Yue Qianchou. The disciple clasped his hands and said, "We appreciate your kindness, sir, but we are here on orders and dare not delay for too long. We will now take our leave of you."

"Since you have important responsibilities, I won't disturb you any longer." Yue Qianchou pondered for a moment, then turned to the captain and said, "We haven't prepared any gifts, so we'll give each of you ten high-grade Spirit Stones!"

"No need, no need..." the group hurriedly waved their hands. But the team leader, without saying a word, resolutely carried out the order, stuffing a handful of Spirit Stone into each person's hands, leaving the group looking at each other, unsure of what to do. Yue Qianchou smiled kindly, "Take them all! Consider it a small token of our friendship, a testament to our meeting!"

Hearing his words, the others couldn't refuse and could only thank him. After they left, the six flying Law Artifact began to accelerate, Yue Qianchou was still waving goodbye at the hatch...

A dozen or so people stood on a small flying magical Law Artifact, watching Yue Qianchou and his group disappear into the distance. Looking at the Spirit Stone in their hands, they all sighed with emotion. Given Yue Qianchou's current status in the Cultivation World, he didn't even care about the leaders of a sect, yet he treated these grassroots disciples who were of no help to him with great favor, offering them kind and encouraging words and even gifting them a large number of Spirit Stone.

The disciple who had been in close contact with Yue Qianchou turned around and looked at everyone, saying, "Every sect says that Mr. Yue is a scoundrel and a madman. I wish that all the people in each sect who say these things could be as scoundrels and as mad as Mr. Yue, then our Cultivation World would be at peace."

Someone else sighed, "It's obvious. Mr. Yue is too popular, and all the factions are clearly joining forces to suppress him. Alas! And similar things are not limited to the Cultivation World. Aren't we seeing this kind of thing all the time in various sects and factions?"

"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say. We can just say this here. Don't let it get back to us, or we'll be in big trouble... What are you afraid of? Does anyone here want to complain about us? Hey! Mr. Yue is a good person..." A group of disciples who didn't know the truth were bored and chattered around in a small circle, trying to clear Yue Qianchou.

Feeling lonely on the journey, and unexpectedly finding himself once again a teacher spreading the truth, Yue Qianchou in high spirits. He said to the team leader, "If we encounter similar checks again, invite all the young disciples from various sects with shallow cultivation to come up. If they are older, just let it go. Those old-fashioned people have already formed their minds and it's hard to change them. To avoid wasting my breath, just deal with them directly."

"Understood." The first captain nodded in response. Just as Yue Qianchou was about to turn and leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something and snorted coldly, "There is one exception among the sects. If you encounter anyone from the Daluo Sect, tell the second captain to send men out and cripple them all first, and then capture them all without letting any of them go. I want to give the Daluo Sect a greeting gift."

After giving his instructions, Yue Qianchou put his hands behind his back and swaggered back to the rear cabin. As soon as he entered, he saw Ziyi looking at him strangely, while Hundred Charm Demoness covered her mouth and giggled, "Mr. Yue is indeed a kind person, a role model for all schools to learn from."

"I knew you were a wicked woman!" Yue Qianchou rolled his eyes at her, then said solemnly to Ziyi, "You should never believe what some people say, especially those who talk badly about others behind their backs."

Hearing this, Hundred Charm Demoness laughed even harder, adding, "Especially those who talk nonsense and lie without batting an eye, you can't believe a word they say. Mr. Yue, don't you agree? Hehe!"
