Chapter 262: Lu Yang! Come Out!

The sun set in the west. By the time Miaoyin realized something was wrong, the distant sun had completely set, and the star-filled sky hung suspended above her head.

“…Fellow Daoist Suo Huan.”

Miaoyin turned to look at Suo Huan beside her, only to discover that at some point, he had begun fiddling with a formation, laying out patterns of array lines.

What was he doing?

Before Perfected One Miaoyin could react, she saw a signal flare rise into the distant sky, exploding into a cluster of brilliant fireworks, accompanied by shouts.

“Found them!”

“Found them.”

The rising and falling shouts were like invisible giant waves, overwhelming and undisguised. At the same time, the starry sky overhead burst with light at this moment.

In the next second, Perfected One Miaoyin felt the ground trembling slightly. She was about to activate her escape light to leave almost subconsciously, but just then, streaks of blood Qi rainbow light soared into the sky around her, connecting with the starry sky. In an instant, invisible pressure descended, forcibly extinguishing her escape light!

“Something’s wrong! We’re surrounded!”

Perfected One Miaoyin’s pupils shrank abruptly in an instant, finally understanding everything: “Yuan Tu… He actually plans to kill me? Were all these people provoked by him?”

Rumble!

Soon, the slight trembling of the ground turned into violent thunder. Perfected One Miaoyin couldn’t even float in the air. She could only leap onto a large tree and gaze into the distance. She saw the distant horizon gradually dyed black, then quickly solidifying into a black tide, surging towards her overwhelmingly!

This was the first time Perfected One Miaoyin felt shocked by “numbers.”

Thinking of this, she immediately turned to look at Suo Huan, only to see that he had already finished setting up the formation and was standing inside the array surrounded by brilliant light.

“Is this… a teleportation array?”

Perfected One Miaoyin instantly revealed a look of joy. She hurriedly brushed aside the hair on her forehead, her beautiful eyes rippling, and walked quickly towards Suo Huan. “Fellow Daoist is truly prepared for a rainy day…”

However, what responded to her was Suo Huan’s icy gaze.

“Goodbye.”

In the next second, the brilliant light extinguished, and Suo Huan’s figure vanished instantly. The formation, losing the boost of the Great Perfected One’s stature, also lost its due radiance.

Perfected One Miaoyin’s smile froze completely on her pretty face. Looking around again, an unprecedented sense of panic finally surged into her heart. This was a feeling she had never experienced since becoming Chong Guang’s Dao Companion, making her involuntarily grit her silver teeth.

If Chong Guang were still here…

Thinking of this, her resentment towards Chong Guang rose to another level. But soon she cast aside these distracting thoughts and turned to examine the surrounding environment.

“Fortunately, I am in seclusion in a mountainous area.”

Although she hadn’t expected such a large scale, Perfected One Miaoyin hadn’t failed to consider being discovered and besieged by the army of the [Myriad Martial World Realm].

So she specifically chose a mountainous area.

This terrain environment, with numerous trees, was very suitable for guerrilla warfare. Being alone in it, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to break out of the army’s encirclement.

However, she soon realized something was wrong.

Because these encroaching armies were devouring everything around them with every step forward—tree bark, grass roots, and even dirt.

In front of them was a dense mountain forest.

Behind them was an empty wasteland.

Even with Perfected One Miaoyin’s experience, she stared dumbfounded at this moment. These were not humans at all! They were a swarm of humanoid locusts wreaking havoc!

“Lu Yang… How did he do it?”

Perfected One Miaoyin didn’t have time to think much, because the army had already arrived around her. The soldiers at the very front could already see her existence.

“It’s that person!”

“That is the Heavenly Demon. The Immortal Master has ordered: execute the Heavenly Demon!”

“Kill! Kill!”

The figures shouting like mountains and tsunamis began their charge, accompanied by crazed soldiers. The massive power of Destiny Stars also crashed down on Perfected One Miaoyin’s body.

Under this terrifying suppression, the aura of Perfected One Miaoyin, who was at the Perfection of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, fell again and again. Finally, she even fell from the position of a Foundation Establishment Perfected One, retaining not a bit of stature. Only a body of true Qi far surpassing the Great Perfection of Qi Refining remained to face tens of thousands of vigorous soldiers alone!

“Are you kidding me…”

Perfected One Miaoyin gritted her teeth and immediately performed a Divine Ability. Her spiritual power was like strings, stirring up a burst of killing sound, instantly shredding the soldiers charging at the very front.

“Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

Perfected One Miaoyin’s ten fingers flicked continuously. Her vast spiritual power, like the sea, was constantly sprinkled, instantly causing blood flowers to bloom again in the charging crowd.

However, doing so was meaningless.

Because she had only killed hundreds or a thousand people charging at the very front, yet one-tenth of the spiritual power in her body had already been consumed, forcing her to stop.

Unfortunately, being in the [Myriad Martial World Realm], the spiritual Qi was toxic and rejected outsiders. Unless she could restore her Foundation Establishment cultivation, she couldn’t even breathe in spiritual Qi to recover spiritual power. Like water without a source, she could only watch helplessly as the tide-like soldiers surged towards her, completely swallowing her!

“It can’t go on like this!”

“Where is Lu Yang?”

Perfected One Miaoyin looked around. The suppression of Destiny Stars made no distinction between friend and foe. Since she was suppressed into this wretched state, she didn’t believe Lu Yang could remain safe and sound!

At the same time, on a cliff several thousand meters away from the battlefield.

Lu Yang sat calmly in a tea pavilion, brewing tea. Under the protection of over a hundred [Imperial Guards], he watched the changes on the battlefield from afar.

“Have Anmin advance the eighth column forward by three meters.”

“Yes.”

Lu Yang’s orders were transmitted quickly one by one. The army formation, which had been somewhat scattered under Perfected One Miaoyin’s assault, was restored to order and integrity.

Under their encirclement and suppression, Perfected One Miaoyin no longer had her initial appearance of a noble lady. Instead, her hair was disheveled, her palace skirt stained with blood. She looked incredulously at the crowd still surrounding her, completely unable to understand these madmen… According to her experience, they should have been scared witless by killing right now!

She had killed nearly ten thousand people!

Normally, even a large army, having ten thousand people forcibly killed like this, would have long since collapsed in morale. She could have taken advantage of the chaos to escape and fight a way out.

But these people in front of her were different.

Their eyes were red one by one. They were not shocked by the deaths of their companions at all; instead, they became even crazier, continuing to charge forward one after another.

Soon, another hour passed.

Another mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were left on the spot. Perfected One Miaoyin stood amidst it, having used all her usable spirit treasures, spiritual artifacts, and Divine Abilities.

How many people have I killed?

Perfected One Miaoyin herself was somewhat dazed. In the past, she might have been very happy, because those besieging her now were all martial artists possessing Destiny Stars.

After killing them, as long as she circulated the Qi Harvesting Method, she could plunder the Qi of the [Myriad Martial World Realm]. However, at this moment, she didn’t even have the leeway to use the Qi Harvesting Method. She only felt waves of darkness before her eyes, and the spiritual power in her body was nearly exhausted. Yet looking up, all she could see was still a sea of people.

“The [Martial Soldiers] are in position.”

Most of the thirty thousand [Army Elites] had been killed by Perfected One Miaoyin. However, at this moment, over one hundred thousand [Martial Soldiers] had filled their vacancies.

Seeing this scene, a clear look of despair finally appeared on Perfected One Miaoyin’s face.

“Lu Yang! I know it’s you!”

“Where are you?”

“Come out!”

Perfected One Miaoyin finally couldn’t help shouting. What made her most aggrieved was undoubtedly this… She hadn’t even seen Lu Yang from beginning to end!

She completely didn’t understand why Lu Yang suddenly decided to kill her and even employed such a huge lineup. It was obviously premeditated. If her plan had been exposed, it didn’t make sense either; she was very confident in her concealment of karma and absolutely couldn’t have had the reason calculated by Lu Yang.

So she couldn’t figure it out no matter what.

However, why would Lu Yang see her? In case Perfected One Miaoyin still had some hidden means, wouldn’t his rash appearance allow her to turn the tables?

Therefore, Perfected One Miaoyin’s shouts were destined to go unanswered.
