Chapter 396: Chapter 274: It’s not me, don’t talk nonsense!
Xu Yang naturally recognized the old Daoist in front of him!
On that day, when he attacked Lu Shan Sect, he forced the two Lu Shan ancestors to cut off their foundations and leave their cave paradises.
This one was the first to leave the cave paradise.
He even tried to win Xu Yang over, claiming that Lu Shan Sect and Jingming were of the same family and that as long as Xu Yang was willing to join Lu Shan Sect, he would accept Xu Yang as a disciple. He even offered to pass on the position of sect leader to Xu Yang, allowing him to control both Jingming and the Daoist Sect, inheriting the position of Heavenly Master.
Xu Yang’s pupils contracted, and his heart sank as he asked, “I don’t know why the senior is blocking my way?”
“You know it already. It’s to kill you.”
The old Daoist laughed, “I originally wanted to let you live a little longer, but your cultivation has advanced too quickly… I can’t have peace of mind without killing you.”
Clang!
Although his smile was as warm as the warm sun, the atmosphere was filled with the chill of midwinter.
Under the murderous intent that spread within the bedroom, a layer of white mist rapidly filled the small river that was flowing and then froze at the speed visible to the naked eye!
The one-hundred blooming flowers on the riverbank and the lush wild grass quickly withered and turned yellow.
He pointed across the air.
Boom!
There was an explosion in the air, and a huge divine power finger appeared out of nowhere, pressing down on him.
At this moment, Xu Yang felt that the entire heaven and earth were converging upon him, and all his energy, sword aura, and physical strength erupted to their extreme limits. The “Diamond Talisman” on his body burst one after another even before the giant finger fell!
He tried to use the divine power to escape underground, but his body couldn’t be controlled at all.
He used the Dream Creation Skill, but it had no effect on the old Daoist!
Compared to the Daoist True Monarch…
Xu Yang was too weak!
“Xu Yang.”
“Don’t blame this poor Daoist.”
As the old Daoist pressed down with his finger, the huge divine power finger also fell inch by inch following his movements.
He calmly said, “Blame yourself for being too monstrous. Blame yourself for not bringing that Ghost Immortal with you when you left… If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have destroyed my foundation and left prematurely. Killing you would make everyone happy.”
“You want to kill me?”
Xu Yang sneered, “You are not quite there yet… Xiao Xue!”
Buzz!
Suddenly, a strange aura rose from Xu Yang’s body.
Pop!
It was as if a bubble was punctured.
The giant divine power finger shattered like a dream, and the frozen river surface instantly melted. Even rain began to float in the sky. The old Daoist let out a muffled grunt and took three steps back. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said solemnly, “Impossible… How can you have such a powerful force in your body?”
Xu Yang felt an instant lightness in his body, and the pressure from all directions disappeared.
He flashed and turned into a yellow light, diving directly into the earth.
“Earth Escape?”
The old Daoist reacted and summoned a flying sword that pierced into the ground with a thought and a Yin wind from his brow.
As for the old Daoist himself, he took a step forward and headed in the direction of Xi’an.
Underground.
Xu Yang frantically escaped through the earth.
Behind him, the sword light followed like a shadow.
Long Xiaoxue unleashed her soul’s power, using various means to resist the flying sword, but she soon showed signs of faltering!
“Xu Yang!”
“I can’t hold on!”
Within the Zifu and Shihai, Long Xiaoxue gritted her teeth and said anxiously, “I am only a strand of the soul. If my main body were here, I would have devoured that dog Daoist alive!”
Damn it!
Xu Yang secretly vowed in his heart.
When he had reached a sufficient level of cultivation in the future, he would definitely slaughter this dog first!
Unfortunately, now he lacked the power and couldn’t fight back.
He pushed the Earth Escape Skill to its limit. After escaping a hundred miles underground, the sword light suddenly condensed. Then, the old Daoist sighed and said, “Xu Yang, I never thought you would have such a master by your side… What a pity. If I had burned my divine power and gone all out from the beginning, I could have killed you.”
The old Daoist looked up in the direction of Xi’an.
He knew in his heart.
Once Xu Yang got closer, the person guarding Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum would notice. Although that person hadn’t yet cultivated to the realm of the Land Immortal and wasn’t his opponent, he couldn’t quickly defeat them either.
By then, a great commotion would inevitably alarm Grandmaster Chengming.
“You’re lucky!”
The old Daoist retracted his flying sword and coldly said, “I hope you have the same luck next time!”
After saying that.
He turned and was about to fly away!
Boom!
At this moment, the ground below exploded.
Xu Yang burst out from the ground, holding the decree given to him by Lord Cui. Staring at the old Daoist, he sneered, “Old dog, do you think I, Xu Yang, am someone who can be killed so easily? Do you think you can come and go as you please?”
“Oh?”
The old Daoist turned his head back, looking at Xu Yang mockingly, and laughed, “Could it be that you want to keep this poor Daoist here?”
“Of course!”
Xu Yang sneered, smashing the token on the ground.
Boom!
The token instantly turned into a cloud of fog. From within the fog, Cui Jue’s avatar emerged. He laughed and said, “Xu Yang, my brother… are you here to chat with your older brother again?”
However, upon closer inspection, he saw no food or drink.
Looking back, he saw an old Daoist standing in midair with a Daoist flying sword hovering above his head.
Xu Yang gave a fist salute and said, “Brother Cui … We’ll catch up later. I brought you here this time to ask for your help in killing someone!”
The old daoist looked at Cui Jue, who had suddenly appeared dressed in grand red robes, and his turbid eyes shrank in shock, exclaiming, “Lord Cui?”
“Did you call Lord Cui too?”
Cui Jue’s gaze turned icy, saying coldly, “Call me Judge!”
The old daoist hastily corrected himself: “Judge!”
With a wave of his hand, a strange force fluctuation knocked the old daoist from the sky, saying, “Get off, how dare you fly so high in front of Judge?”
As the old daoist fell to the ground, he quickly said, “Judge, this is a matter of my sect… As the top judge of the Underworld Palace, how can you interfere in the worldly disputes?”
“Ah, this…”
Cui Jue hesitated, looking at Xu Yang with an apologetic face, “Brother Xu Yang, I’m sorry… The Underworld has its rules, I can’t meddle in mortal affairs… I can’t help you kill him.”
Damn it!
Xu Yang’s face darkened, and he was about to threaten with his weapon.
However, Cui Jue quickly changed the subject, “At most… I can help you hurt him and waste his cultivation.”
Xu Yang: “…”
“…”
The old Daoist was first stunned, then quickly burnt his spiritual power to escape with a teleportation technique, shouting while flying, “Judge, you can’t do this… Ah…”
Before he could finish speaking, Cui Jue’s hand suddenly held the virtual image of a brush.
With a wave of his brush-bearing right hand, the old Daoist fell from midair and crashed to the ground.
Cui Jue put away the brush and said, “I can’t easily take action in the mortal world, this strike will surely be noticed by others… Alright, brother Xu Yang, I have to go.”
“Thank you, Brother Cui.”
Xu Yang said, “I’ll help you get a few dozen more salutes later.”
Cui Jue was overjoyed, “In that case, if you encounter any danger in the future, just call me.”
He transformed back into a mist and dissipated.
The mist condensed again and turned back into a decree.
Xu Yang put away the decree, jumped into the air, and flew to where the old Daoist had fallen. He saw a huge crater on the ground, with the old man lying inside like a dead dog. His cultivation had been wasted, his eyes looked dull as blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
“Old dog, didn’t expect it, did you? You’d have a day like this?”
Xu Yang smirked and slapped the old Daoist unconscious, then picked him up like a little chicken.
He then rushed all the way towards Wu City. By the time the sun had set, he had already entered the city.
Returning to the villa, Xu Yang threw the old daoist on the ground. Mengxi, Liu Shishi, and the other women crowded around, recognizing the old man and exclaiming, “Husband, isn’t this the ancestor of the Lu Shan Sect? How did he end up like this?”
Xu Yang smiled and said, “This old guy wanted to ambush me, but I summoned Lord Cui to hurt him, so he ended up like this.”
“How dare he!”
Mengxi was immediately enraged, kicking the old Daoist, growling, “You bastard, dare to ambush my man?”
“Sister Mengxi, calm down, Sister Mengxi, calm down…”
Yue Yuluo, always kind-hearted, hurriedly held back Mengxi, saying, “Sister Mengxi, be careful, there must be a reason why husband didn’t kill him. Don’t kick him to death.”
Realizing this made sense, Mengxi withdrew her foot.
However, Xu Yang laughed, “Don’t worry, he’s a Daoist True Monarch after all. Even though his cultivation has been wasted, he won’t die so easily!”
“Really, husband?”
Yue Yuluo, upon hearing this, immediately rolled up her sleeves and kicked the old Daoist’s face, cursing as she did so, “Damn it, you dare to hurt my husband… I’ll kill you!”
Mengxi and Yue Yuluo both attacked the old Daoist, and Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Qiluo naturally followed suit.
Seeing several elder sisters beating up the old Daoist, Tu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before joining the fray.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang went to the side and called Wang Hou.
The call connected.
Xu Yang got straight to the point: “Minister Wang, I’ve captured a living ancestor from the Lu Shan Sect.”
“What?”
Wang Hou’s voice rose by several decibels, “For real?”
“How could I fake something like this?”
Xu Yang briefly explained the situation, saying, “Minister Wang, where is Fang Wei, the leader of the Spirits Management Bureau and the successor of the martial world’s top informant, Baixiao Sheng? Can you bring him to Wu City?”
“Ah?”
Wang Hou hesitated, saying hesitantly: “Why are you looking for Fang Wei? He is not part of our Supernatural Affairs Bureau.”
“I want to set up a play. Since the Lu Shan Sect wants to kill me, this time, I want them to lose face.”
Xu Yang explained his plan. Wang Hou initially tried to evade, saying he didn’t know who “Fang Wei” was. But when Xu Yang insisted, Wang Hou reluctantly agreed, “Alright, I’ll arrange for Fang Wei to come to Wu City to meet you.”
After hanging up the phone.
After waiting for about 30 minutes.
Whoosh!
A figure broke through the air and landed outside Xu Yang’s villa.
Xu Yang went out and, seeing the visitor, was surprised, “Minister Wang… how come you came personally? Where’s Fang Wei?”
Wang Hou’s old face turned red, “Fang Wei’s identity is special, he has offended too many people, so it’s not suitable for him to show his face. Just tell me what you want, it’s the same.”
Xu Yang: “…”
He stared at Wang Hou in disbelief, “Minister Wang, are you telling me that the martial world’s top informant, the successor of Baixiao Sheng, Fang Wei… is you?”
“It’s not me!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Wang Hou quickly said, “As a Land Immortal, how could I do such a thing?”
