QT: Grace To Grass Counterattack System

A lot of cultivators shifted uneasily at patriarch Lao's words. If not that the old cultivator was known to be a very reliable person thoughout the cultivation realm, a lot of them would have stood up to drown him in spit. How could Mo Sheng's ways be be pure?

Mo Jiu, on the other hand, was not convinced. What did the senile man know? How could Mo Sheng not have practiced evil methods? How did he become strong then? None of this would fool him!

Next, it was Xing Mei's turn. The sexy woman made a lot of cultivators drool as she swayed her hips and slowly walked up to He Yuan before whispering, "You may have fooled that old man but you can't fool me.

-All demonic cultivators are taught from young how to distinguish our own so we don't end up like the righteous faction had ended up during the war against the evil faction thousands of years ago. Our methods are very thorough!"

He Yuan just rolled his eyes and remained silent. He was extra focused this time and held his needles even tighter. He didn't like nor trust this woman one bit but this was the quickest way to clear Mo Sheng's name.

Xing Mei placed one hand on He Yuan's chest and the other at his lower abdomen and then slowly trickled her spiritual energy into his channels.

After a while, Xing Mei stiffened. No way. She ran her spiritual energy though He Yuan once more and then she looked up at him with eyes as wide as saucers. "Im.. possible. How is this possible?!"

By now, everyone was left in suspense at Xing Mei's incoherent whispering. What was the result? Were they having the man killed or not? Why was she so silent?

The demonic cultivator hissed in impatience and shoved Xing Mei to the side. "What is the unnecessary suspense for? I need to get my goodies and leave!" Being in the midst of so many righteous cultivators unnerved him terribly.

"How did you even end up in their midst?" He whispered to He Yuan as he assumed his position and trickled his energy into the man.

"A series of coincidences," He Yuan replied and focused on the task at hand.

After a while, the demonic cultivator waved nonchalantly. "This man is a demon hybrid, he clearly has two distinct spiritual roots. How is that so difficult for you righteous cultivators to deduce? Incompetent."

The murmurings began once more and Xing Mei pointed at the demonic cultivator in shock. "Y- you... Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?!"

The demonic cultivator looked around, searching for whoever seemed as dumbfounded as he was. When He Yuan gave him a sympathetic smile, he energetically turned back to Xing Mei. "Do you have a rock in place of your brain? Did you not just examine the same man?

-Wasn't it clear to you that he is a hybrid?!"

"But.. But.." Xing Mei stomped her feet. "He's a bad person! He's not supposed to be a hybrid, he should be killed for being an evil doer!"

Gu Long grit his teeth behind He Yuan whilst the demonic cultivator frowned in confusion. "Let me get this straight, you're against him because of what? It could be understood if this man did not have a demon form but as he is, he is clearly one of us. How could you join others in bringing down your own kind?!

He hissed once more and looked around in anger. "Yo! Where's the cultivator that promised me all those goodies? Bring it to me now and get me out of here. If I have to stare at this woman for an extra second, I might just lose control and bite her ears off!"

The demonic cultivator was given his renumeration and sent off and then the entire arena became completely silent. They all turned their eyes to Xing Mei. After all, she had started everything with her accusations.

Xing Mei, after being put on the spot, began to sweat bullets. It was all the fault of this bad man Sheng! She grit her teeth and pointed at He Yuan. "Even if he is a hybrid, it shouldn't explain the fact that he is in the Spirit severing level! How did he advance so fast if his methods are pure?!"

The older cultivators stared at Xing Mei with a bored look and He Yuan resisted the urge to facepalm. At this point, Xing Mei was just looking for anything to get the heat off of her.

Although it was quite obvious Xing Mei was being plain nonsensical, there would always be idiots convinced by baseless words so a young cultivator shouted,

"THAT MAKES SENSE!"

"Yes! Mo Sheng had always been trash in the sect, how did he suddenly become so powerful?"

"True, true."

More and more cultivators began to convince themselves and soon enough, the expressions of some of the elders morphed once more.

He Yuan was exasperated by this. How were they even falling for this?! He shook his head inwardly. It was true that fools grew old too. Not all elders were wise.

Mo Jiu scoffed and stalked closer. "Mo Sheng! You can't keep fooling people with your underhanded means. Who knows what trick you used to fake two spiritual roots?"

He Yuan raised a brow at Mo Jiu. The man was just focused on looking for reasons to kill him and cover up his shame of losing. He glanced around the agitated cultivators. "Aren't you all being a little too hypocritical?

-Mo Jiu and I are age mates but he is in the middle stage of Spirit severing -an entire stage higher than mine. I am a demon hybrid so my advancement in cultivation is easily explained due to my demonic half. As for Mo Jiu, why is no one accusing him of using dark arts, hm?"

Ru Cheng looked to He Yuan in surprise and Mo Jiu's heart shook but he quickly calmed down. There was no way Mo Sheng was aware. He pointed Huoyan at the loose mouthed man. "Mo Sheng! What nonsense are you spewing? Everyone knows I'm ultra talented and work hard!"

"You?" He Yuan scoffed. "Work hard? Everyone knows you spend more time sleeping around than you do cultivating. When do you work hard? Or.." He waved at the cultivators. "Maybe your dark arts have something to do with dual cultivation and you have been siphoning the essence out of the people you sleep with."

A lot of male and female cultivators present shuffled uneasily and stared at Mo Jiu with wide eyes.

Mo Jiu trembled fiercely. He had to repeatedly reassure himself that Mo Sheng was unaware. He had to be unaware! "MO SHENG! How could you say such nonsense? I would never-"

"Really?" He Yuan cut in. "You're getting quite agitated. It seems like you have something to hide."

"MO SHENG!" Mo Jiu began to shiver in a mixture of rage and fear. Did the man know something? How could it be? He was extra careful!

He Yuan picked his ear with his pinky. "Don't shout my name like that. I'm not the one who is shivering and shouting desperately like I have something to hide.

-You claim to have talent but apparently, you don't. Even if you don't practice the dark arts, you must have stumbled upon a divine level cultivation method that makes you advance so quickly. We are all righteous cultivators here,

-You should be aware that such a thing should not belong to just one person alone. Why don't you submit the divine level cultivation manual to the Bureau hm? Everyone constantly praises you as a selfless do gooder but in reality, you're just a selfish hypocrite"

The younger cultivators quietened a whole lot and the older cultivators narrowed their eyes at Mo Jiu. That Sheng boy looked to be saying things nonchalantly but what if he was trying to sneakily pass a message on to them?

"SHUT UP!" Mo Jiu noticed the looks he was receiving and directly sent a powerful sword glare at He Yuan. "What cultivation manual are you talking about?!"

He Yuan grabbed Gu Long and leaped out of the trajectory of the sword glare, causing it to crash into the wall instead. Next, he shook his head pitifully and addressed the spectators. "You all can clearly see. He is trying to kill me, his daxiong, in order to keep the manual a secret!"

The suspicious looks the older cultivators sent Mo Jiu's way increased exponentially and an increased number of younger cultivators became skeptical. Mo Sheng did not seem to be lying. If anyone would be aware of a divine level cultivation manual that Mo Jiu had, it would be either elder Mo or Mo Sheng.

Mo Jiu advanced quickly. Too quickly in fact, there was no way it was his talent alone. If it was purely talent then why was it that Mo Jiu was the only righteous cultivator known to advance so quickly? There were tons of extremly talented cultivators, why were they nothing like Mo Jiu? Something else must be involved!

The gears began to turn in the heads of everyone present and the eyes of the cultivators shone with greed. Shen Hei was already questioning his daughter with his eyes to know if she'd noticed such a precious treasure.

Shen Mianmian looked back at her father with furrowed brows. Could Mo Jiu truly have kept such a treasure? She shook her head. No, it's not true. Then she froze again. But what if it was? They were so close, they were in love, why did he hide it from her?

Ru Lianfeng and his elders exchanged looks and he cleared his throat. "Since all issues have been solved. I think it would be best for all of us to return and have the winners come back for the remaining battles after they are well rested."

"Yes, yes." The elders agreed with a simple smiles as they got to their feet.

"Come." Ru Lianfeng said to Mo Jiu directly. "You should leave with us so any injury occurred during the match could be properly treated."

There was a possibility of Mo Jiu having a divine level cultivation manual in his possession. If such a treasure was made available to the disciples of the Duoluo sect then every one of them would rise to unprecedented heights.

Just imagining his sect full of hundreds of Mo Jius gave Ru Lianfeng a warm feeling in his chest and he could barely hide his smile. His Duoluo sect would be the most powerful sect in the world!

Mo Jiu glared at He Yuan in hatred. He wanted to stay and pummel the bastard to death but he couldn't. Not when he had been dumped in such a messy situation. He understood the sect master was giving him a way out so he nodded at Ru Lianfeng and followed after the elders.

Before they could leave, the gray haired cultivator from before called out. "Sect Master Ru, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Mo Jiu is not the only Duoluo sect disciple to fight today. You even left your grand winner behind. Where are you rushing off to?"

Ru Lianfeng laughed exaggeratedly. "The grand winner is fine. He easily won the match after all so he's alright. Mo Jiu was smashed here and there so he needs to be attended to first."

Gray hair scoffed. "He needs to be attended to by the sect master himself? With the elders too? The Duoluo sect is indeed different from other sects. The sect master and elders have to babysit each disciple."

"Hahaha!" Ru Lianfeng began with a laughter that couldn't be more fake even if he tried. "I can't help it if we're so concerned about our-"

"Cut the crap!" Family head Huo cut in with a frown. "We know what we heard. Why don't you allow your Duoluo sect disciple to give us an explanation, hmm?"
