Chapter 263: Did You Really Think You Could Bewitch Me with Beauty?

Another half an hour passed.

Perfected One Miaoyin finally exhausted her spiritual power completely. She still wanted to fight with her body, but in the end, she was pinned down by a group of burly men and lost the power to resist.

“I…”

Splurt! Splurt. Splurt!

Without any mercy, long knives pierced her beautiful body one by one, bleeding her out just like that, draining her physical strength so she could no longer struggle.

Immediately after, several burly men stepped forward, took out ropes, and tied her up securely. The ropes were folded in half, looped around her neck, passed through her armpits and collarbones in order, bound her hands and feet behind her back, and wound around her lower crotch, like a thick turtle shell, ensuring she could hardly make a single movement.

“Mmph…” Perfected One Miaoyin instantly let out a groan of pain.

After doing all this, the remaining soldiers hoisted Perfected One Miaoyin up, brought her to the cliff where Lu Yang was, and threw her directly onto the ground.

“Immortal Master, the Heavenly Demon has been captured!”

These [Refugees], who had consumed [Qi-Eating Insect] eggs and managed to defy heaven and change their fate, all looked sincere, staring straight at Lu Yang before them.

Lu Yang walked out of the tea pavilion and looked at Perfected One Miaoyin.

“Yuan Tu… is there some misunderstanding here?”

Seeing this, Perfected One Miaoyin forced a smile. However, in her current state with disheveled hair and bloodstains all over, even the most beautiful smile became ugly and exposed:

“No misunderstanding.”

Lu Yang looked indifferent, walking up to Perfected One Miaoyin. “Since Madam wanted to kill me, isn’t it normal for me to return the favor?”

“When did I ever want to kill you?”

Naturally, Perfected One Miaoyin couldn’t admit it. She immediately shook her head and said, “There must be a misunderstanding here. If you don’t believe me, you can enslave me. I know you know how.”

“Control me, and you’ll know the truth.”

Perfected One Miaoyin’s voice was weak. She didn’t mind being brainwashed; she only wanted to live. Besides, she had a secret technique that could allow her to turn the tables while being brainwashed…

Hearing this, Lu Yang also stood up.

However, just when Perfected One Miaoyin thought the other party was going to control her, Lu Yang drew his sword directly and cut off her beautiful head with one strike.

“Did you really think you could bewitch me with beauty?”

From the beginning, Lu Yang had no intention of refining Perfected One Miaoyin. Otherwise, with his character of disliking waste, he would have long let people line up outside.

Although he could, it wasn’t necessary.

After all, Perfected One Miaoyin didn’t have anything he coveted, and he wasn’t fond of lust. It was better to kill her early to avoid complications.

Sure enough, deep down I’m still a good person.

Lu Yang sighed with emotion, then looked up at the sky, a trace of disappointment in his eyes. Because his [Villager] Destiny Star hadn’t changed.

Indeed, it’s not that simple. No matter how stupid it is, it’s impossible to hand over the Supreme Position of the Sun and Moon Sons of Heaven to me just because I killed Miaoyin… In that case, haven’t I been freeloading for nothing? Heaven and earth won’t acknowledge the debt? If that’s the case, don’t blame me for turning hostile…

Just as Lu Yang was pondering.

Boom!

In an instant, Chen Anmin, the [General Commanding Troops] beside him, was suddenly stunned. Then, a radiance like the solar corona abruptly erupted from his body.

In the next second, his Destiny Star gradually changed its appearance.

In the dome of the sky, Chen Anmin’s Destiny Star turned into a fireball, expanding rapidly, and finally transformed into a blazing, unlookable sun!

[Bright Son of Heaven]

Destiny Star as the Sun, the Supreme Position of the current age!

At this moment, Lu Yang, who was close at hand, felt it most clearly. He only felt that in front of the other party, his cultivation base of Middle Stage Foundation Establishment dissipated instantly!

At this time, he was like Perfected One Miaoyin before. All his stature was suppressed to near extinction, leaving only a body of spiritual power like water without a source. This was the suppressive force brought by the [Bright Son of Heaven]. Probably only a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Perfected One could maintain a portion of their strength in front of him!

“Im… Immortal Master?”

Chen Anmin looked at Lu Yang in astonishment. He found that the Immortal Master, whom he previously felt was unfathomable, now looked like an ordinary mortal.

It didn’t seem like he was that formidable?

While Chen Anmin was still dazed, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself: What a move of removing the firewood from under the cauldron. Not giving it to me, but giving it to someone beside me instead?

Is this turning hostile against me?

Thinking of this, the corner of Lu Yang’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer.

However, just then, Chen Anmin suddenly came back to his senses, then abruptly turned his head to look at mid-air, shouting sternly: “Who goes there! Get the hell out!”

What should have been a mortal’s roar, under the boost of the [Bright Son of Heaven], turned into a magnificent sound like a tiger’s roar or a dragon’s chant. Wherever it passed, soldiers knelt one after another. At the same time, an invisible spiritual power was peeled away by the voice, like lifting a curtain, revealing the figure hiding behind it.

“Impressive… Fellow Daoist truly lives up to your reputation.”

Lu Yang looked over and instantly narrowed his eyes. The newcomer was a refined-looking young man, with a somewhat fake kind smile always hanging on his face.

But more importantly, his cultivation base.

For a moment, Lu Yang felt somewhat apprehensive.

Late Stage Foundation Establishment!?

Being able to maintain the power of levitation and flight under the suppression of the [Bright Son of Heaven], according to Lu Yang’s previous speculation, meant at least Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Luckily I was cautious and prepared to use full strength even against a rabbit. I mobilized all capable combat units in one breath. Otherwise, against a Late Stage Great Perfected One, without a military formation of over a hundred thousand connecting Destiny Stars for suppression, winning really wouldn’t be certain. It’s even possible to be counter-killed by him on the battlefield!

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yuan Tu.”

Suo Huan looked calm, cupping his hands towards Lu Yang. “Fellow Daoist’s incarnation is a work of surpassing nature, possessing its own fate. No wonder you dare to act like this.”

Bribing the [Myriad Martial World Realm] with Earth Vein Qi.

Defecting to the [Myriad Martial World Realm], mobilizing the army to encircle and suppress Perfected One Miaoyin.

Would no one think of similar operations? Of course not. The Saint Sect had discovered the [Myriad Martial World Realm] for so long; how could no one have thought of it?

However, why had no one done it until now?

Because the loss outweighed the gain. Don’t look at Lu Yang being fine now; that’s because he was in the [Myriad Martial World Realm]. Once he went back, he would inevitably suffer heavenly punishment.

After all, if two people went out carrying Earthly Fiend Qi and only one came back, in the judgment of heaven and earth, it was a [Loss]. If not punish you, then who? To avoid punishment, one must bring back a larger amount of World Realm Qi, letting heaven and earth judge it as a [Profit] or [No Loss], to escape the calamity.

Heaven and earth didn’t look at the process, only the result.

Because no one wanted to suffer heavenly punishment inexplicably, most cultivators traveling to a World Realm together would choose to help each other, even in the Saint Sect.

However, Lu Yang was different.

Leaving aside that the Immortal Fetus Incarnation had its own fate, making it hard for heavenly punishment to implicate his main body, even if it did, he was confident in solving this problem.

As long as I earn back more World Realm Qi, all problems won’t be problems.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn’t help but glance at Chen Anmin beside him, narrowing his eyes slightly at the dazzling [Bright Son of Heaven] on the other party.
