Chapter 195: No One Should Think About Leaving!
Overseas, on a vast and boundless expanse of sea.
Three Perfected Lord incarnations and one Dao Sin. Their terrifying aura filled the void, causing Heaven and Earth to fall silent. Even the sounds of the waves and the wind quieted down.
Drip, drip…
A drop of cold sweat slowly slid down Daoist Hong Yun’s forehead.
This was extremely rare for someone of his Dao comprehension. It meant that the shock in his heart was so great that he could no longer perfectly control his own True Body.
Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
At this moment, only these three questions remained in Daoist Hong Yun’s heart. He had thought he was coming to a fish pond to stomp some noobs, but four sharks had popped out of the pond instead!
He admitted that his voice just now had indeed been a bit loud.
However, Daoist Hong Yun was still a former Perfected Lord after all, so this state of his mind going blank only lasted for an instant before he recovered.
“…This humble Daoist Hong Yun greets all fellow Daoists.”
Before his voice fell, Daoist Hong Yun released his own aura. A magnificent light shone behind his head, manifesting the grand scene of the [Precious-Radiance Blessed Land].
Seeing this, the four gazes that were originally quite unfriendly instantly softened a lot. After all, achieving the Perfection of Foundation Establishment and refining a Blessed Land represented the top-tier combat power of a Foundation Establishment Perfected One. It was enough to fight against the Dao Sin of Perfected One Primordial. Even facing the incarnations of Perfected Lords, he at least had the right to converse.
Seeing this, Daoist Hong Yun also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
In the next second, he hurriedly spoke, decisively clarifying his relationship: “To be honest, this was a misunderstanding just now. I was implicated by karma and accidentally entered this place…”
“Perfected Lord… Perfected Lord!”
Before Daoist Hong Yun could finish speaking, Perfected One Blood Demon on the ground snatched the chance to speak first: “Perfected Lord, didn’t you come to save me? You can’t ignore me!”
The moment he saw Daoist Hong Yun, Perfected One Blood Demon understood that something had happened.
The Perfected Lord fell from his Dao Fruit!?
His greatest confidence previously was Daoist Hong Yun. But now, Daoist Hong Yun had fallen from his Dao Fruit. This was almost equivalent to sentencing him to death!
How could he be reconciled to this?
Therefore, he didn’t hesitate at all and directly snatched the chance to speak. As long as Daoist Hong Yun still cared about his reputation, he couldn’t possibly abandon him in front of everyone…
Though he said this, Perfected One Blood Demon’s face was full of despair.
After all, he actually knew the truth himself.
In the next second, Daoist Hong Yun wore a cold expression. With a fling of his large sleeve, he sent Perfected One Blood Demon flying: “Who are you? This Seat does not know you.”
—How could a Saint Sect Perfected One possibly care about face?
Moreover, Perfected One Blood Demon had truly pitted Daoist Hong Yun hard this time. If the current scene weren’t inappropriate, Daoist Hong Yun would have already started cursing.
Fuck off to the side.
Don’t associate with me!
“It’s you, Hong Yun…”
The three Perfected Lord incarnations present naturally couldn’t fail to recognize their former fellow Daoist. However, they had no intention of making things difficult for him and chose to let him off.
After all, everyone knew about the struggle between Perfected One Chong Guang and Daoist Hong Yun within the Saint Sect. This kind of struggle was beneficial to all parties. If they killed Daoist Hong Yun, it would be akin to helping Perfected One Chong Guang. The Perfected Lord incarnations present naturally wouldn’t do something that would aid the enemy.
As for the Dao Sin of Perfected One Primordial, he also knew Daoist Hong Yun.
After all, Perfected One Primordial’s arrangements in the Emerald Sun Cultivation World back then had been destroyed by Daoist Hong Yun.
So, the relationship between the two wasn’t bad; their friendship was even quite deep. Daoist Hong Yun had even tried to save it in the past, but hadn’t succeeded.
Seeing no one stopped him, Daoist Hong Yun finally put his heart at ease.
“This humble Daoist still has important matters to attend to, so I will not stay long.”
As his voice fell, he immediately took a step, intending to tear through the void and leave. However, when his raised foot landed, he still remained in the same spot.
Nothing happened.
“Hmm!?”
Almost simultaneously, the three Perfected Lord incarnations and the Primordial Dao Sin also sensed something was wrong. One by one, they turned their gazes to look at the initiator of all this.
In mid-air, Lu Yang sat with a pale expression. [Embrace and Guard Mountain] had been directly crushed by the auras of the several Perfected Lord incarnations, and the resulting backlash had instantly inflicted heavy injuries on him. Yet at this moment, his expression showed not the slightest fear; instead, it held a few traces of inexplicable excitement.
Chumming the waters is over. Time to reel in the line.
“This really is… playing it big!”
In Lu Yang’s hand, a talisman paper flickered with light.
To be honest, with things escalating this much—three Perfected Lord incarnations, a Hong Yun, and a Dao Sin all appearing—Lu Yang actually felt a subtle worry.
Would Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue be unable to handle this?
Primordial Saint Sect, Sacred Fire Cliff.
Inside the great hall, Perfected One Chong Guang suddenly opened his eyes. All he saw was heavy snow fluttering in the air, and a peerless beauty standing quietly in the snow.
Perfected One Chong Guang hurriedly stood up: “Greetings, Perfected Lord.”
“Dispense with the formalities,” the woman in the snow said indifferently. “My manuscript has been activated. After such a long time… this Lu Yang is indeed not bad, not a cowardly person.”
The manuscript she gave Lu Yang was both a protection and a test. If Lu Yang had used the letter casually as soon as he arrived overseas, instead of thinking of solving the trouble himself first, she would still have acted, but her evaluation of Lu Yang would have dropped a level.
After all, what the Saint Sect needed wasn’t a giant baby who only knew how to ask elders for help.
If you ask for help, you must offer sufficient benefits and let people see your value. The Saint Sect didn’t raise idle people; those without value deserved to die.
Therefore, she was quite satisfied with Lu Yang now.
Because activating the manuscript after such a long time meant that Lu Yang had already tried to solve the problem, but his abilities were limited, and he needed her to wrap things up.
“I shall go and take a look.”
Hearing this, Perfected One Chong Guang cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, “Yuan Tu carries heavy karma. The trouble he has attracted is likely not small. I must trouble the Perfected Lord this time.”
“Heh.”
Hearing this, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue shook her head. “You have not yet become a Perfected Lord, so you ultimately do not understand. To those at our realm, Foundation Establishment is akin to ants.”
“No matter how heavy the karma, no matter how much trouble, it is limited to Foundation Establishment.”
“To me, it is not worth mentioning.”
Having said this, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue vanished from her spot.
In the next second, on the boundless sea.
As brilliant light rose from Lu Yang’s hand, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue strode out. She glanced around nonchalantly… and then she froze.
These people look so familiar.
“Shui Yue, Zheng De, Tian Wu?”
Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue blinked her beautiful eyes. Her gaze swept over the three Perfected Lord incarnations present one by one, finally landing on Hong Yun, who was covered in sweat.
“Greetings, Perfected Lord…”
It wasn’t until Lu Yang’s voice came carefully that Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue turned around and sized up Lu Yang with an unprecedented look.
Then, she laughed.
At first, it was just a light chuckle like silver bells, but soon the laughter turned into wild, unbridled laughter. As the laughter spread, goose-feather snow began to drift between Heaven and Earth.
“Worthy of being the pillar of the Saint Sect praised by Chong Guang. You really have brought me some big troubles!”
Seeing this, Lu Yang gritted his teeth and hurriedly bowed. “Please forgive me, Perfected Lord…”
“Forgive? No need!”
As her voice fell, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue grinned, her red lips and white teeth revealing a thick savagery. “Rather, I should thank you.”
“The rest has nothing to do with you.”
“Your karma, these big troubles—I’ll take them on.”
On the other side, the three Perfected Lord incarnations also changed their expressions. Then, these incarnations rapidly dimmed, while Hong Yun and the Primordial Dao Sin fled for their lives.
“It’s that madwoman from the Demonic Path…”
“Wait, she came in her true body?”
“Not good!”
However, it was too late. In the next second, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue’s figure vanished from her spot. Only a lingering sound echoed in all directions—
“Want to leave? Better if you all stay!”
