Chapter 231: Do You Really Take Me for a Hungry Ghost of Lust?

It had to be admitted that, as Dao Companions of Saint Sect Perfected Ones, Perfected One Chong Guang’s wife was much more powerful than Madam Ruoxiang. Her aura of Divine Abilities far exceeded the latter.

Although she wore white mourning clothes, appearing quiet, elegant, and plain, it did not cover up her naturally beautiful appearance. Instead, it made her appear even more dignified. However, more eye-catching than her appearance were the magnificent colors of two Divine Abilities radiating from her body, making one involuntarily want to sink into them.

Seeing this, Lu Yang’s gaze condensed slightly:

‘Two Innate Divine Abilities , perfection of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.’

In the next second, she looked in the direction of Ye Guyue , her tone cold: “The [Cave Sun Blessed Land] has not yet opened. Fighting aggressively violates the Perfected Lord’s decree.”

“This younger sister, whatever grudges there are, why not wait until we enter the Blessed Land to settle them?”

Although she said this, her aura did not yield an inch. Clearly, if Ye Guyue truly intended to act willfully, she would have to face a pincer attack from her and Lu Yang.

“…Fine.”

After a moment of silence, Ye Guyue looked at Lu Yang:

“Inside the Blessed Land, you and I will decide victory and defeat, and also life and death!”

Leaving behind a sentence, Ye Guyue directly withdrew her sword light and landed steadily in the southern direction, leaving only a streak of Sword Intent locking onto Lu Yang from afar.

At the same time, the woman rode her escaping light to Lu Yang and Perfected One Yin Shan, bowing slightly. “This concubine is Miao Yin. Greetings to the two Fellow Daoists.”

“We dare not accept. Madam is polite.”

Without a second word, Lu Yang immediately cupped his hands. Not only because of her identity as Perfected One Chong Guang’s Dao Companion but also because her cultivation was worthy of their salute.

In the next second, another person walked out from behind her.

He had an air of nobility, but at this moment appeared somewhat dejected, his eyes slightly red. He said in a deep voice, “Martial Uncle Yin Shan… my father, is he really dead?”

Lu Yang looked over and immediately recognized the other party.

Chong Guang’s son, Chong Ming.

Decades had passed, and this formerly biggest second-generation immortal in the sect had also built his Dao Foundation. Although still at the Initial Stage, he was no longer just a raw material.

Facing Chong Ming’s inquiry, Perfected One Yin Shan couldn’t help but sigh deeply, saying helplessly, “Perhaps there is still hope. Senior Brother has always calculated without omission. Even if he was fully confident in seeking the Golden Core this time, he must have left a backup plan in case of failure. That is why we intend to enter the Blessed Land to investigate…”

Hearing these words, Chong Ming’s eyes instantly lit up:

“Martial Uncle is right!”

Immediately after, Chong Ming gritted his teeth and whispered, “A scourge lasts a thousand years. What kind of person is that old man? It’s impossible for him to die just like that!”

Beside him, Lu Yang looked somewhat surprised.

This appearance… why does it seem a bit different from the family of the Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak? Is it really a kind father and a filial son? The more I look, the more wrong it feels!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Chong Ming again.

Could you be Chong Guang’s backup plan?

“Fellow Daoist Yuan Tu.”

Just then, Perfected One Miao Yin suddenly looked at Lu Yang and said softly, “Can we speak in private? There are some matters this concubine wishes to discuss with you in detail.”

“Mother?”

Chong Ming looked surprised, clearly not informed beforehand. However, Perfected One Miao Yin just waved her hand. “You catch up with Fellow Daoist Yin Shan first.”

“Fellow Daoist Yuan Tu, come with this concubine over there.”

After speaking, she floated over first. Seeing this, although Lu Yang felt strange in his heart, he could only cup his hands and follow closely behind Perfected One Miao Yin.

In the next second, Perfected One Miao Yin took out a Cloud Whisker Handkerchief from her sleeve and offered it into the air. It instantly shook down a patch of precious light, isolating the two from the outside world. This was actually a Superior Spirit Treasure. Lu Yang probed slightly and found that even calculating with the Investigating Heaven Sphere was somewhat strenuous.

So secretive, what is she doing?

Lu Yang frowned tightly, but Perfected One Miao Yin turned her head, her tone solemn: “Fellow Daoist Yuan Tu, this concubine knows you were the person my husband relied on most when he was alive.”

“Madam is joking.”

Lu Yang waved his hand. “Senior Brother Yin Shan was the confidant of Martial Uncle Chong Guang. This disciple is just a junior who advanced later; how can I deserve words like ‘relied on most’?”

“Yin Shan won’t do.”

Perfected One Miao Yin shook her head. “His cultivation is insufficient, and his strength is not as strong as yours. More importantly… my husband’s Immortal Spirit body is not in his hands.”

Hearing these words, Lu Yang instantly narrowed his eyes.

Immortal Spirit body? Could it be that streak of Xin Metal Qi I obtained from Perfected One Shangxuan?

Perfected One Miao Yin didn’t pause and continued, “This concubine is one hundred percent certain that my husband might be on his deathbed, but he is definitely not dead yet!”

Perfected One Chong Guang is not dead yet?

Lu Yang’s expression remained normal upon hearing this, without the slightest surprise. Instead, Perfected One Miao Yin was somewhat surprised seeing this. “…Yuan Tu, you aren’t curious at all?”

“It was expected.”

Lu Yang smiled. “If he died from failing to seek the Golden Core, a Dao Sin would inevitably be born, unmatched except by those at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment. But the Perfected Lord only allowed those at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment to enter the Blessed Land and asked me to investigate the truth of Martial Uncle’s failure. Obviously, the Dao Sin hasn’t been born yet. From this, it’s not hard to guess that Martial Uncle hasn’t completely died.”

As his voice fell, Perfected One Miao Yin pursed her red lips.

“…Your reputation is well-deserved… Yuan Tu, your mind is so meticulous. No wonder my husband praised you as a future pillar of the Saint Sect. This concubine is also reassured entrusting this matter to you.”

Don’t give me that! I haven’t agreed yet!

Lu Yang smiled without speaking, while Perfected One Miao Yin changed the subject. “To tell you the truth, this concubine’s constitution is rather special. Ancient books call it the [Heavenly Harmony Body].”

“As long as one cultivates together with a woman of this constitution, one can cultivate a Dao Art named [Seven Emotions Heart Refining Mantra].”

Speaking to this point, Perfected One Miao Yin’s tone was normal, speaking frankly and openly:

“This method claims [The Dao is Emotional Yet Without Emotion]. Refining the heart with the seven emotions, upon perfection, one can achieve the realm of [Better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to cling together in hardship].”

“Back then, Chong Guang became Dao Companions with this concubine to cultivate this Dao Art.”

“According to him, once this method is mastered, combined with his foundation as a Natural Immortal Spirit, even if he fails to seek the Golden Core, he can transform into the Spirit of Heaven and Earth of the Blessed Land.”

“In this situation, as long as he retrieves his former Immortal Spirit body, even if there is no hope for the Golden Core from then on, he can at least return as a Perfected One at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Therefore, whether it is this concubine or you, Yuan Tu, we are both backup plans left by my husband, allowing him to retain a glimmer of life after failing to seek the Golden Core.”

Hearing these words, Lu Yang finally revealed a look of surprise.

At the same time, he sighed even more in his heart that Perfected One Chong Guang calculated without omission. Failure to seek the Golden Core should have been a certain death situation, yet he could find a way to survive.

“…I understand.”

Lu Yang nodded. “Madam means you want me to use the Immortal Spirit body in my hand to guide Martial Uncle Chong Guang back? In this way, perhaps there is still a turning point?”

“Correct.” Perfected One Miao Yin nodded.

Hearing this, Lu Yang’s expression instantly became serious. “Rest assured, Madam. This disciple has received deep grace from Martial Uncle; how could I ignore it?”

“However… this disciple also has many difficulties.”

“That streak of Xin Metal Qi is the most precious thing in this disciple’s hands. Taking it to guide Martial Uncle, yet gaining nothing in return, makes this disciple very troubled.”

The implication was: Where are my benefits?

Madam, you don’t want Martial Uncle Chong Guang to be unable to return, do you?

Perfected One Miao Yin’s expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. After all, she was also a Saint Sect Perfected One and knew clearly the sect’s style of never releasing the hawk until the rabbit is seen.

“…What does Yuan Tu want?”

As her voice fell, Perfected One Miao Yin raised her head. Her indifferent beautiful eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, and her exquisite face also showed a trace of weakness.

However, in the next second, Lu Yang took a step back, actually proactively distancing himself from her.

Joke. Do you really take him for a hungry ghost of lust?

Lu Yang sneered and said, “I want the Saint Sect’s [Rank 1 True Art]! That is the true secret technique of the Saint Sect. I wonder if Madam has it in her hands?”

“…”

As soon as these words came out, Perfected One Miao Yin, who just looked weak as if she could be pushed down with a slight force, instantly narrowed her eyes and returned to her original state.
