Chapter 170: Why Is He More and More Like a Demon Lord Again
Outside the Divine Firmament Sect, above the vast sea of clouds, there stood a female cultivator dressed in a white dress, her appearance charming and delicate, holding a golden treasure mirror in her hand.
"If the Sky-Observing Treasure Mirror is accurate, that person should still be here."
The female cultivator was still pondering when the light on the treasure mirror flickered and finally revealed a figure.
Upon seeing this, the female cultivator immediately showed a look of joy and hurriedly transmitted her voice to invite a meeting.
However, before her words had fully landed, she saw the figure in the mirror suddenly raise his head as if he had sensed something, locking eyes with her through the mirror.
This sight made the female cultivator's heart skip a beat.
In the next second, the void cracked open, and Lü Yang, possessed by Su Nu, stepped out leisurely and appeared in front of the female cultivator.
"Piāomiǎo greets the esteemed cultivator of the Primordial Saint Sect!"
Without any hesitation, the female cultivator bowed slightly and respectfully said, "It has been hundreds of years since a senior from the Upper Sect last visited the Chaotic Sea, making this place shine with renewed splendor."
'Hundreds of years?'
Lü Yang was slightly moved in his heart upon hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Your reaction is not bad. I am the Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak of the Primordial Saint Sect, sent here on inspection by command."
After speaking, he took out the Mending Heaven Decree.
Before he left, Lü Yang had acted swiftly, not giving Lady Ruo Xiang any chance to react, so he had conveniently taken the decree that should have been left behind.
At this moment, using it to prove his identity could not be more fitting.
"So you are the Peak Master of the Primordial Saint Sect!"
Fairy Piāomiǎo took one glance at Lü Yang’s decree and bowed down without saying another word.
However, Lü Yang’s eyes showed a trace of doubt upon seeing this reaction.
This response was not right.
The Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak was an infamous old demon in the Saint Sect, well-known by all.
If this was truly a subordinate sect of the Saint Sect, how could they not know anything?
Even if they were unaware of the recent internal events of the Saint Sect, they should at least be able to tell that he was not the real Peak Master.
In such a situation, if nothing else, they should have at least asked a question.
Yet, Fairy Piāomiǎo did not question it at all and directly acknowledged his identity.
In an instant, a thought arose in Lü Yang’s heart:
'Is she trying to deceive me?'
'Could it be that she is trying to harm me?'
"Strike first to gain the advantage!"
The next moment, Fairy Piāomiǎo looked up in shock, only to see the 【Hall of Yama】 descending from the sky, its doors wide open, directly trapping her inside!
In an instant, Fairy Piāomiǎo’s expression changed dramatically.
'Where did I give myself away?'
In fact, she had not exposed much, and Lü Yang only acted out of suspicion.
It was just that when he had doubts, Lü Yang’s way of handling things was straightforward.
If he could fight, then he would fight first and ask questions later!
"Boom!"
In an instant, rolling waves of sinister energy howled, the Myriad Spirits Banner swayed, and countless ghost soldiers and generals appeared, charging at Fairy Piāomiǎo in formation.
However, upon seeing this, Fairy Piāomiǎo did not show any sign of panic.
Instead, she quickly calmed down, and a long silk ribbon appeared in her hand.
As she unfurled it, auspicious clouds rolled in, radiant colors surged, enveloping her completely and blocking the overwhelming sinister energy.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a misunderstanding."
While defending herself, Fairy Piāomiǎo did not forget to continue speaking:
"We bear no malice, we only wished to meet with a senior of the Primordial Saint Sect. We beg Fellow Daoist to show mercy."
Her tone was filled with weakness and pleading.
Lü Yang looked over and saw her looking tender and affectionate, her beautiful eyes shimmering with light, a look of grievance she dared not voice, evoking involuntary pity.
Unfortunately, Lü Yang was not interested in women.
In the next second, Lü Yang’s true body, thousands of miles away, suddenly formed a hand seal, divine light flashing as 【Determining Intimacy and Distance】 was swiftly activated.
Swoosh——!
In an instant, white light flashed, and Su Nu’s figure suddenly disappeared from the original spot.
Naturally, the 【Hall of Yama】 she had constructed followed closely behind.
At this moment, Fairy Piāomiǎo was still trapped inside the 【Hall of Yama】 and could not escape, thus being dragged away along with Su Nu, vanishing on the spot!
"Go!"
Lü Yang moved swiftly.
As soon as he remotely retrieved Su Nu, he waved his hand, sending dozens to hundreds of sealing talismans onto the 【Hall of Yama】.
"Spare me…"
Fairy Piāomiǎo’s voice had just begun to sound when Lü Yang cut it off at the root.
Then, in a flash, Lü Yang disappeared from the Cultivation World.
At the center of the one hundred and eight islands of the Chaotic Sea.
Inside the main hall of the Immortal Alliance Headquarters.
"Piāomiǎo’s aura has vanished?"
"The Sky-Observing Treasure Mirror can't find her?"
"It was working just now, but not anymore. The other party's escape speed was extremely fast. They disappeared in an instant and are probably already out of the Chaotic Sea’s territory."
"This…"
Eleven obscure auras stood silently in the hall, exchanging glances, all seeing traces of fear in each other’s eyes.
"Piāomiǎo is at least in the Integration Realm and has received the 【Imperial Mansion Golden Seal Doushuai True Edict】.
According to ancient records, she should not be weaker than an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Person.
How could she be captured in a single encounter without even having the strength to resist?
Could it be that the one who came is stronger than just the early Foundation Establishment stage?"
The crowd began to discuss in hushed tones, their voices tinged with fear.
"What should we do now?"
"Three thousand years… It has already been three thousand years.
The destined day is approaching.
If we don’t find a way to save ourselves, we will all die in this wretched place!"
"And if we ruin that Lord’s plans, we might…"
"Enough!"
Finally, a senior Integration Realm cultivator could not help but curse under his breath.
"My mind is made up. We will use the 【Imperial Mansion Golden Seal Doushuai True Edict】 to locate Piāomiǎo’s position."
"Do we really have to do this?"
"Shouldn’t we try the Sky-Observing Treasure Mirror one more time?"
One of the Integration Realm cultivators hesitated.
"Every time we use it, we weaken further.
It will accelerate the process of us being completely refined by that thing…"
"That’s still better than waiting for death!"
The Integration Realm cultivator who spoke was filled with the aura of decay, nearly a thousand years old, and held the highest prestige.
After several rounds of discussion, the Integration Realm cultivators finally decided to cooperate.
Outside the Chaotic Sea.
Although Lü Yang had left, he had not gone far.
Instead, he searched along the boundary until he found an underwater cave, where he established a cave dwelling.
Only then did he take out the Myriad Spirits Banner.
"Let me interrogate her properly…"
He unlocked the 【Hall of Yama】 and seized the now weak and powerless Fairy Piāomiǎo.
Although her true level was still in the Qi Refining stage, she had falsely claimed a Foundation Establishment position.
In terms of strength, she was about the same as Su Nu.
However, even if it was a false claim, as long as she guarded her Sea of Consciousness tightly, Lü Yang, with his current cultivation, could not perform a soul search.
The result would only be a waste of effort.
Fairy Piāomiǎo obviously knew this as well, which made her appear very calm.
"I won’t say anything."
"No, you will."
Lü Yang responded with a calm expression as well.
Although soul searching would not work, after taking over as the acting Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak, he had obtained the complete Mending Heaven True Scripture.
Since soul searching was not an option, he would use harvesting!
Through the Mending Heaven True Scripture, combined with his talent as a 【Dual Cultivation Prodigy】, he could completely extract the information he wanted from Fairy Piāomiǎo!
At this thought, Lü Yang could not help but sigh again.
He had clearly come to the overseas region this time to improve his image and become a good person, but as things progressed, why did he seem to be becoming more and more like a demon lord again?
"Sigh, the Saint Sect has truly led me astray!"
However, there was no other choice.
Although Lü Yang considered his Dao heart as firm as iron, never swayed by women, for the sake of the Dao and his own cultivation, he had no choice but to brace himself and proceed.
