Chapter 261: The Unchivalrous Lu Yang

Looking at Perfected One Miaoyin, Suo Huan showed a contemplative expression. Then, with a thought, he withdrew the “Locking Heaven and Earth,” restoring Perfected One Miaoyin’s freedom.

“Suo Huan! What exactly do you want to do?”

As soon as she recovered, Perfected One Miaoyin subconsciously distanced herself from Suo Huan, looking at him warily, yet also feeling secure in her backing: “You cannot kill me!”

Suo Huan had signed a Dharma Contract with her; they could not harm each other. To obtain such a Dharma Contract, she had spent a lot of thought. The binding force was extremely high, and she was confident Suo Huan could not break free. If he really acted to kill her, the spiritual power would inevitably backlash against him, ultimately dragging him down with her!

“Fellow Daoist has misunderstood.”

Seeing this, Suo Huan smiled kindly and said softly, “Am I that kind of indiscriminate killer? It’s just that there are some things I need Fellow Daoist’s hand for; I am truly sorry…”

As he spoke, Suo Huan’s gaze became increasingly cold and sinister.

Perfected One Miaoyin looked blank. Suo Huan had just met with people from the Pure Land and the Dao Court successively, but he had blinded her divine sense and didn’t let her know.

But who knew?

Perfected One Miaoyin was present after all. Although Suo Huan had sealed her divine sense, how could he be sure she didn’t have other means to secretly eavesdrop on the specific details?

Better to eliminate her.

Thoughts turned in Suo Huan’s mind. Although he already had killing intent, the expression on his face became increasingly gentle, even adding a few points of sincere apology:

“Let’s get back to business. Didn’t Fellow Daoist want me to help you cross your tribulation?”

“…You are still willing to help me?”

Perfected One Miaoyin was a bit bewildered by Suo Huan. Why act against her as soon as he came out, only to actively mention helping her afterward?

“Of course I am willing.”

Suo Huan nodded seriously, deliberately revealing a somewhat ambiguous expression. “After all, Fellow Daoist is such a heavenly beauty; this lowly one also yearns for you…”

Oh! So he lusts after my body!

Perfected One Miaoyin instantly felt Suo Huan’s reaction made sense. She had always been very confident in her beauty, and a smile appeared on her face:

“To tell the truth, Fellow Daoist Suo Huan has profound cultivation, and this concubine also admires you greatly. In the future, I wish to discuss the Dao with Fellow Daoist…”

Hearing this, Suo Huan revealed a smug expression while lowering his eyelids to hide the coldness in his eyes:

Stupid woman!

Although I cannot kill her, I actually don’t need to lift a finger. I just need to stand by and do nothing, and this woman will inevitably die at the hands of that Saint Sect’s Yuan Tu!

Suo Huan had researched Lu Yang.

In his view, this Perfected One Yuan Tu, besides having exceptional talent, also possessed extraordinary methods. At the very least, he was definitely not someone Perfected One Miaoyin could deal with.

Perfected One Miaoyin actually understood this herself, which was why she sought Suo Huan as outside help. But she didn’t know that Suo Huan was merely using her. Now, he had absolutely no intention of wading into this muddy water. After all, he still needed to borrow the Saint Sect’s influence; how could he really go kill an outstanding talent of the Saint Sect?

Thinking of this, Suo Huan immediately laughed:

“Delay no more. Madam, contact the other party quickly. Call that Yuan Tu over. I will kill him as soon as possible, so I can have more time to discuss the Dao with Madam…”

“Don’t be anxious~. The [Void Heaven Mirror] is still in Fellow Daoist’s hands; shouldn’t it be returned to its original owner?”

Perfected One Miaoyin’s eyes darted around, looking straight at Suo Huan. Seeing that Suo Huan didn’t play any tricks and honestly returned the precious mirror, only then did she relax.

Immediately after, she began to set up the formation.

Soon, the precious mirror lit up with brilliant light. On the mirror surface, a dark quiet room gradually appeared. In the shadows sat a tall and straight figure.

“Fellow Daoist Yuan Tu.”

Perfected One Miaoyin called softly, putting on the delicate appearance she had shown Lu Yang earlier. “Where are you now? Have you escaped the World Realm’s tracking?”

“I’ve made Madam worry.”

Lu Yang opened his eyes and smiled calmly. “I am already fine.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Perfected One Miaoyin revealed a look of surprise instead. She was able to conceal herself because she was somewhat familiar with the [Myriad Martial World Realm].

But Lu Yang was clearly here for the first time. Yet not only did he avoid the killing intent of the [Myriad Martial World Realm], but judging from the situation she encountered after coming out of seclusion, he seemed to have stirred up quite a storm in the [Myriad Martial World Realm]. With such methods and capabilities, Perfected One Miaoyin could understand why Chong Guang valued him.

Pity that for my Dao path, this person must still die!

Thinking of this, Perfected One Miaoyin put on a charming smile and said softly, “Since Yuan Tu, you are also fine, why don’t we meet up?”

“With the two of us joining hands, the efficiency of [Qi Harvesting] will also be higher.”

Perfected One Miaoyin felt her reasoning was fair and reasonable.

Separating before was due to heaven and earth’s killing intent, worrying about being dragged down. Meeting up now was because both sides had means of concealment, and joining hands would be more efficient.

Sure enough, Lu Yang revealed a moved expression upon hearing this. “Really?”

Immediately after, Lu Yang said very seriously, word by word, “I can’t find where you are, Madam. Why don’t you give me your location?”

“Okay, okay.”

Perfected One Miaoyin nodded hurriedly. She recorded her location with divine sense and then sent it over using the [Void Heaven Mirror]. “I will wait for Fellow Daoist right here.”

“…Rest assured, I will definitely arrive within three days.”

As his voice fell, the brilliant light on the precious mirror extinguished.

Only then did Perfected One Miaoyin turn to look at Suo Huan beside her and smile: “Everything is ready. Does Fellow Daoist want to set up another trapping formation here?”

Hearing this, Suo Huan gave Perfected One Miaoyin a deep look, then shook his head and said nothing.

To a dead person, he had nothing to say.

Yes, in Suo Huan’s view, Perfected One Miaoyin was already a dead person. Although he didn’t know what means Lu Yang would use, the reaction was clearly wrong.

If a Saint Sect Perfected One sincerely wanted to join hands, it would absolutely not be this reaction. Specifically giving an address and then one side waiting for the other? Not afraid of an ambush? It’s fine if this stupid woman Miaoyin doesn’t understand, but Lu Yang is so famous; how could he not understand? It’s highly likely he has other plans!

Thinking of this, he looked at Perfected One Miaoyin again.

This woman’s luck is too good. Previously becoming Chong Guang’s Dao Companion, she didn’t need to use schemes for many things. As a result, once Chong Guang left, her true colors were revealed instead.

At the same time, inside a city nearest to the mountain forest where Suo Huan and Perfected One Miaoyin were located.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Yang descended with escape light and looked at the devout-looking burly man beside him. It was shockingly the retired [Martial Soldier] from the village earlier.

However, he was no longer a [Martial Soldier] now.

He was full of vigor, his whole body’s muscles bulging. Rolling blood Qi turned into a rainbow light rushing straight into the sky, complementing a Destiny Star in the dome of the sky.

[General Commanding Troops]

This was his new Destiny Star, obtained by killing his old superior who took bribes but didn’t do anything. Now, he had been completely reborn.

And for Lu Yang, who changed all this, his reverence could be imagined.

Therefore, upon seeing Lu Yang appear, the burly man knelt down without a word like pushing a golden mountain or toppling a jade pillar, saying loudly: “Chen Anmin greets the Immortal Master!”

“Rise, no need to kneel.”

“Have the troops been assembled?”

Lu Yang waved his hand. The reason he spread the [Qi-Eating Insect] eggs and the Qi Harvesting Method, putting in so much effort to create such a big scene, was for this moment right now.

Hearing this, the burly man hurriedly said, “Replying to Immortal Master, they are all on the way. A total of thirty thousand people, all the elites of the current Righteous Army. They are the ones who ate the most previously. Their Destiny Stars are uniformly [Army Elites], and they have also changed into armor and weapons captured from the government army.”

“Only thirty thousand?” Lu Yang frowned slightly.

“There are more coming later. Although not as elite as this branch and their equipment isn’t good enough, they are all Martial Soldiers. The number exceeds one hundred thousand, arriving in batches.”

“En, well done.”

Lu Yang nodded, then took out a map. He compared it with the location Perfected One Miaoyin sent him and drew a circle in that area with a pen.

“Pass my order—the whole army attacks!”

Not even Suo Huan expected Lu Yang to be so unchivalrous, directly joining the [Myriad Martial World Realm] side and acting as a guide to kill Perfected One Miaoyin!
