Chapter 331: Chapter 229: Ancestor of Lu Shan Sect!
“Nonsense, playing in the water now of all times?”
Xu Yang was speechless.
We had been traveling in the Indonesian Thousand Islands for several days, spending almost half the time floating in the vast ocean, and you didn’t wake up then. Now, in this situation, you’re thinking of playing in the water?
At the entrance of Lu Shan Sect.
On the big boat.
One of the six sons of Lu Shan Sect, “Supreme Sage Zhang” stood at the bow of the boat, his gaze sweeping over the river, looking serene and confident… However, in his heart, he actually heaved a long sigh of relief!
Duke Wang didn’t come!
What the Lu Shan Sect feared the most was that Duke Wang would secretly help Xu Yang… If he really did interfere, even Qingyang, who could summon the power of Lu Shan Sect’s “geomantic omen”, would struggle to resist it, unless the Celestial Grandmaster left seclusion!
Now that Duke Wang hadn’t come, the Lu Shan Sect had nothing to fear.
At the very least, within the scope of the “geomantic omen” power, Xu Yang had no chance of breaking in!
At this moment.
On the cruise ship, inside Xu Yang’s “Zifu acupoint”.
Long Xiaoxue looked a bit aggrieved and said, “I… I just haven’t played in the water for over a thousand years. I got a little excited when I saw the river, that’s all. Xu Yang, don’t worry, I’ll definitely restrain my power and won’t cause floods by stirring up waves like I did in the past.”
Xu Yang was surprised, “You are now in the form of a dragon soul, do you have that ability?”
“Who do you look down on?”
Long Xiaoxue proudly said, “We dragons are born as the masters of all the lakes and seas. We have control over rivers from birth. Although I am now in the form of a dragon soul, my water control abilities alone far surpass even those of Daoist True Monarchs specializing in the water element path!”
Xu Yang’s eyes lit up and he transmitted a message, “Good, I will take you into the water later and let you have your fill of fun!”
Xu Yang, who was originally thinking of backing down, suddenly regained his confidence.
He stood at the bow of the boat, the Bi Shui Sword in his right hand and a folding fan in his left. Gently shaking the folding fan, he sneered, “Are you all from the Lu Shan Sect just timid turtles? Hiding in the power of geomantic omen and not daring to come out?”
As soon as these words were said, the expression on Supreme Sage Zhang’s face on the big boat changed slightly.
The other disciples of the Lu Shan Sect were filled with rage, and one of them even clamored to fight Xu Yang to the death!
Xu Yang continued, “Where is Qingyang?”
“You old dog, Qingyang! Back then, you hurt my grandpa, forcing him to flee far away from home, killing dozens of his relatives, and slaughtering hundreds, if not thousands, of my Jingming Sect disciples… Did you ever think this day would come?”
Xu Yang’s voice was like thunder.
Many people in the martial world on the Min River had only come to watch the excitement. They had only heard a bit about the past “Struggle for Daoist Orthodoxy” and didn’t know the details. At this moment, they were astonished!
The Lu Shan Sect, which was reputed to be one of the righteous and orthodox sects in the world, actually had such crimes to their name?
“Sigh…”
A sigh echoed through the void.
Qingyang stepped out from Lu Shan Sect in midair, walking on air, one step at a time, as if there were invisible steps beneath his feet. He slowly landed on the large boat. He was still at the peak of the Divine Transcendence Realm, but used the power of “geomantic omen” to walk in the void.
He landed on the boat, Daoist aura surrounding him, as if he had become one with the Lu Shan Sect. He sighed, “The struggle for Daoist Orthodoxy, like a war, is either you die or I perish… If Clear Void had won back then, perhaps our Lu Shan Sect would have ended up in the same situation.”
“Hmph!”
Xu Yang sneered, “You are not even worthy of mentioning the words ‘Clear Void’.”
Hum!
On Xu Yang’s body, a sharp sword intent shot up into the sky. Daoist aura permeated the air, and thunder intertwined above his head. He pointed the Bi Shui Sword at Qingyang, shouting, “Qingyang, dare to fight me?”
Above the Min River.
All the martial artists looked over.
They knew of Qingyang’s reputation, the eldest of the six sons of the Lu Shan Sect and at the peak of the Divine Transcendence Realm, a famous master in the martial world for many years!
As for Xu Yang…
His fame in the martial world had only been for one or two months.
This young man from the small city in the northwest had made a meteoric rise like a comet, accomplishing many things in just over a month that many martial artists could never achieve in a lifetime!
“Look quickly!”
“He reached the Divine Transcendence Realm!”
A martial artist suddenly exclaimed, murmuring, “Has Xu Yang actually reached the Divine Transcendence Realm?”
“He has entered the Divine Transcendence Realm and mastered the Daoist flying sword… I wonder if he is stronger or weaker than Qingyang?”
Many martial artists were eagerly waiting.
However…
Qingyang indifferently said, “Our sacred land of Lu Shan Sect can’t be easily disturbed by battles. Xu Yang, considering that our Lu Shan Sect and Jingming Sect share the same lineage, the poor Dao won’t quarrel with you…”
The many martial artists fell silent.
Although this sounded lofty, it summed up to one meaning—I don’t want to fight you!
“Hahahaha!”
Xu Yang laughed loudly, “It’s fine to admit defeat, but why pretend to be so aloof and detached?”
Suddenly, his tone turned cold, saying sternly, “Since I’m here today, how can I not leave something for your Lu Shan Sect… Yue Niang, take action!”
Donned in a plain white dress, Yue Niang stepped forward.
She held a cat in her arms and wore a headscarf, looking like a village girl. However, at this moment, the aura emanating from her was earth-shattering!
A turbulent wave of Yin energy radiated from her body, transforming into rolling Yin clouds that filled the sky.
In just an instant…
The originally bright and sunny day darkened, and gusts of Yin wind howled through the air, causing the trees along the banks of the Min River to bend down!
“A ghost!”
“Such a powerful ghost… is it the Ghost King?”
“Legend has it that the Northwest Hammer King, Master Xu, likes female ghosts. All his wives are not human… Is this one of Master Xu’s wives?”
The martial artists were all greatly alarmed.
However, most of them were not very powerful and had little experience. So even though they were “astonished”, it was to a limited extent!
On the big boat.
Qingyang and Supreme Sage Zhang’s faces changed!
“Ghost Immortal!”
Supreme Sage Zhang roared in anger, “Xu Yang, as a member of the Daoist Sect, how dare you collaborate with Yin spirits… Aren’t you afraid of being hunted down by the Daoists from all over the world?”
“The Daoist Sect from all over the world?”
Xu Yang sneered, “This is a dispute between me and your Lu Shan Sect. Who would dare interfere?”
Xu Yang collapsed to the ground, and his pure Yang primordial spirit leaped out from the “Zifu acupoint”. In an instant, he activated the Thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Peachwood Sword to hover in midair!
His voice came from the peachwood sword—
“My wives, help protect my physical body… Yue Niang, take action! Destroy the Lu Shan Sect’s geomantic omen power! Today, I will kill that old dog, Qingyang!”
Whoosh!
Yue Niang transformed in an instant, turning into a black Yin wind.
The black Yin wind led the way, while Xu Yang’s “flying sword” trailed behind. In a split second, they charged towards Qingyang on the big boat!
“No!”
Qingyang’s pupils constricted violently. At this moment, he pushed his own power and spirit to the limit, summoning the force of the entire Lu Shan sect’s geomantic omen to its limit…
Because he knew that even with his peak Divine Transcendence Realm cultivation, even if he borrowed the power of Lu Shan Sect’s geomantic omen, it would be difficult to block a Ghost Immortal equivalent to a Daoist True Monarch or a Land Immortal in martial arts!
Chi-la!
The protection of the “geomantic omen” was as fragile as tofu, and Yue Niang easily tore a crack in it!
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light flashed by, killing its way through the crack!
“Senior Brother!”
Upon seeing this, Supreme Sage Zhang shouted. He threw out a golden stone statue, which transformed into a huge golden-armored guardian in mid-air, blocking Qingyang’s path and stopping the sword light!
However, Xu Yang’s target was not Qingyang.
Swipe!
The sword light made a curve in the void, heading straight for Supreme Sage Zhang!
“Oh no!”
Supreme Sage Zhang retreated at his fastest speed, activating countless Daoist talismans on his body, spreading various Daoist lights across the sky… However, how could the Daoist flying sword be so easily defended against?
Especially after Xu Yang’s “primordial spirit became pure Yang,” the power of the “Daoist flying sword” was even greater than before!
The sword light streaked across!
All of Supreme Sage Zhang’s efforts were torn apart by the sword light.
The next moment…
Blip!
The sword light pierced directly through Supreme Sage Zhang’s forehead.
A bizarre scene played out.
Supreme Sage Zhang’s head turned into something like water just as the sword light pierced through…
The sword light flew out from behind him, but Supreme Sage Zhang showed no signs of injury!
The head that had turned into a puddle of water returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
“Is this… a heaven-given divine power?”
Inside the Peachwood Sword, Xu Yang’s primordial spirit was stunned for a moment, but soon chuckled coldly, “Transforming the flesh into water… That’s indeed a good divine power for preserving one’s life. But I wonder, how many times can you block this move?”
Zing!
The sword light shook and charged out again!
“No!”
Supreme Sage Zhang yelled.
How could a human’s speed ever compare to that of the “Daoist flying sword”?
He could not dodge, and shouted loudly, “Ancestor… save me!”
“Ah…”
A sigh rang out suddenly.
Then, at this moment, the whole world seemed to freeze.
The sword light aiming for Supreme Sage Zhang stopped three inches before his forehead. No matter how hard Xu Yang’s “pure Yang primordial spirit” tried within the Peachwood Sword, it couldn’t advance even a little!
“A Daoist True Monarch!”
Inside the Peachwood Sword.
Xu Yang’s primordial spirit not only didn’t worry but revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
As he had expected…
Right now, in the eyes of the Lu Shan Sect, he had become an eyesore and a thorn in their side. As long as they had a chance, they would want to get rid of him even at a tremendous cost, even if it meant forcing a Daoist True Monarch out of seclusion!
Next to his primordial spirit, Long Xiaoxue’s dragon soul weakly said, “Xu Yang, I’m in my dragon soul state and can only exert a fraction of my true strength… I don’t know if I can defeat this True Monarch.”
“Don’t worry.”
Xu Yang confidently replied, “Since he forcibly came out of seclusion, he must not be able to exert his full strength either!”
In reality, the moment Xu Yang’s “primordial spirit left his body” and used the “Daoist flying sword,” he had already brought Long Xiaoxue into the Peachwood Sword!
This was perfectly normal!
After all, at that time, Long Xiaoxue was attached to Xu Yang’s “primordial spirit,” and they had escaped from the “Octagonal Well” in Xishan Wanshou Palace together.
“A Daoist True Monarch!”
Whoosh!
A gust of Yin wind blew, rolling up the Peachwood Sword, and in the blink of an eye, it flew out of Lu Shan Sect!
Yue Niang was a Ghost Immortal, and she was a powerhouse on par with a Daoist True Monarch… There was no way a single sigh could deter her without even showing a Daoist Monarch’s face!
At the same time.
At the back of Lu Shan Sect, on the mountain wall.
Hum!
Amidst shimmering radiance, an elderly white-bearded Daoist in a Daoist robe walked out.
He didn’t make a move or pursue at first. Instead, he looked at the familiar yet somewhat strange scenery of Lu Shan Sect, greedily breathing in the air of the outside world, and sighed, “600 years…”
“I didn’t expect that I would ultimately return to the mortal world in such a manner.”
He walked down the mountain.
Appreciating the scenery beside the bluestone path, he couldn’t help but pick a small flower and tuck it into his white hair.
By the next moment, he was already on the large boat.
“Ancestor!”
Qingyang and Supreme Sage Zhang knelt down immediately.
The other Lu Shan disciples also knelt down, shouting, “Pay our respects to the Ancestor!”
“Shut up!”
The elderly Daoist scolded angrily, “A bunch of disgraceful wastes, unable to handle even a junior. If I were you, I’d find a crooked tree to hang myself and be done with it!”
At this moment, Yue Niang and Xu Yang had returned to the yacht.
Xu Yang’s primordial spirit returned to his body, gazing at the elderly Daoist from afar.
The elderly Daoist also looked back at Xu Yang, and couldn’t help but say, “Indeed, a young talent… It is fortunate for our Daoist Sect to have a junior like you… Your name is Xu Yang, right?”
“Lu Shan Sect and Jingming Sect are actually one family; if you are willing to join my Lu Shan Sect, this poor Daoist can take you as a direct disciple, teach you the supreme Daoist skills, and even let Qingyang pass on his position to you. When the time comes, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord’s seal will also be handed over to you… Unify the two seals of Jingming and Master of Dharma, and then you can inherit the position of Celestial Grandmaster. What do you think?”
