Chapter 118: The Holy Sect Truly Produces Talents
The formation on the wasteland was not high-grade; Lu Yang glanced at it and saw it hadn't even reached the seventh rank, with only two effects: observing Qi and revealing images.
Rather than being used to protect oneself, this formation was more suited for finding enemies.
Lu Yang made no effort to conceal his aura, so the moment he and Qin Tianhe arrived, the formation activated immediately, casting a beam of formation light down upon the two of them.
At the same time, dozens of gazes fell upon Lu Yang.
Seeing this, Lu Yang's eyebrows rose slightly, for he realized the owners of these gazes seemed very different from the disciples of the Holy Sect within the Cloud Sea of Reaching Heaven.
For the gazes held scrutiny, apprehension, and even ferocity, but no fear.
However, Lu Yang quickly reacted.
This was normal.
On the battlefield between Righteous and Demonic, there were no such rules; Foundation Establishment attacking Qi Condensation, acts lacking martial virtue, happened frequently; those who felt fear were long dead.
The survivors were all a bunch of audacious rogues.
With a single sweep of his eyes, Lu Yang could even see many disciples silently taking pills, regulating their breath, and treating their injuries, yet showing not the slightest complaint or despondency.
Occasionally, in some conversations, when it was mentioned that an acquaintance had been surrounded and killed, these Holy Sect disciples paid no mind at all, even laughing loudly.
Obviously, regarding the Holy Sect being jointly besieged by the Dao Court and the Pure Land, let alone the outside Pure and Clear Flying Snow True Lord, even the Holy Sect disciples themselves did not care much; being killed only proved insufficient strength, look at us who truly possess strength, we fought our way to life!
If you're weak, practice more; if you can't handle it, don't play.
On the other side, Qin Tianhe also wore a look of familiarity, casually summoning a Holy Sect disciple to ask: "Where is Xu Xin? Is the person still alive?"
"... Still alive."
That disciple replied, bringing the two to the depths of the formation, where a youth with red lips and white teeth was waving his arms at the crowd:
"Everyone, we should unite!"
"Two True Transmissions have already been killed; if we do not unite now, we will only be defeated one by one. Do you want to die in this broken place?"
"If you don't want to die, accept my leadership!"
"As long as you follow my orders, at least thirty percent of us can survive. I also believe all Holy Sect disciples are my brothers and will surely be willing to cooperate with me."
Before the youth finished speaking, a disciple at the late stage of Qi Condensation suddenly spoke up, his tone disdainful: "Follow your leadership? Where does that leave Senior Brother Chongming? Senior Brother Chongming is the blood descendant of Junior Uncle Master Chongguang, his strength is unquestionable; even if someone truly must lead, it should be him."
Pfft!
Before that disciple finished speaking, a palm had already slapped onto his chest, instantly sending him flying horizontally; after landing, he vomited blood without stopping.
After doing all this, the youth calmly wiped his hands:
"Those unwilling to cooperate are not my brothers."
"Xu Xin, you seek death!"
On the other side, a vigorous youth instantly flew into a rage; a sword pill appeared out of thin air, exploding into a magnificent sword rainbow that swept across the youth's body.
"Young Master, others may indulge you, but do you think I will indulge you?"
Xu Xin's figure vanished instantly, dodging the sword light slash, then faced off against the youth named Chongming, killing intent surfacing in his eyes.
At the same time, two people nearby paid no attention at all, instead wearing excited smiles as if watching a show.
"... Everyone stop!"
Seeing this, Qin Tianhe immediately roared, then without a second word cleared the way, placing Lu Yang in front: "In the presence of a True Person, who dares to be presumptuous!?"
With these words, the atmosphere changed abruptly.
"A True Person? Impossible!"
"Tianhe? Are you joking?"
"Who is the True Person?"
In an instant, everyone's gazes fell squarely on Lu Yang; initially carrying a bit of scrutiny, they soon underwent a subtle change.
Especially Xu Xin, whose expression changed slightly.
He had once seen Lu Yang together with Qin Tianhe, witnessing with his own eyes Lu Yang calming the Shouheng Sea with a single Qi; naturally, he was now utterly shocked.
It really is Foundation Establishment!?
Thinking this, Xu Xin immediately reined in his magic power, then walked respectfully before Lu Yang: "Disciple Xu Xin greets the Holy Sect's Supreme True One."
Although the others had not seen Lu Yang, they were not blind; even though Lu Yang had not let Su Nu augment him now, the status accumulated from his great supernatural powers left them far behind, a similar feeling they had only sensed in the strongest among the True Transmission disciples.
In an instant, the atmosphere eased considerably.
At the same time, Lu Yang looked at the handsome youth who had just confronted Xu Xin; surprisingly, he had actually met the other person once before.
However, not in this life, but in the life before the previous one.
'At that time, I went to the Law Refining Secret Realm to cultivate the Sage Thief; there was a True Transmission disciple before me, but he failed to cultivate; that True Transmission disciple was him!'
Chongming, the son of True Person Chongguang?
Before coming, Qin Tianhe had roughly introduced to him the True Transmission disciples participating in this Battle for the Dao, including their personalities.
According to him, although Chongming was the son of True Person Chongguang, he most hated being called a second-generation immortal, always thinking of cultivating by his own power, and openly declared he would surpass True Person Chongguang through his own effort and talent; to this, most Holy Sect True Transmissions had only one evaluation:
An enviable fool.
Immediately, he looked at Xu Xin; without doubt, this was a smiling tiger; one second he was calling people brothers, the next he would strike and injure.
Moreover, this person's audacity was absurd.
After all, Chongming was a direct blood descendant of a Great True Person at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment; yet he dared to openly anger and confront him, and even harbored killing intent while striking.
To describe him as a madman was no exaggeration.
As for the two True Transmission disciples who had not spoken since the beginning and were just watching the show, one was male and one female.
The male had no name; even Qin Tianhe only knew his Dao title "Jiaolong"; the female was named Bi Feiyuan, a True Transmission disciple from the Senior Butian Peak.
Having escaped the siege, the two naturally possessed not weak strength.
Daoist Jiaolong, from the Huanyao Peak, one of the four Inner Gate Peaks.
His greatest dream in life was to turn himself into a dragon; therefore, after entering Huanyao Peak, he almost every day transplanted demon beasts onto his own body.
According to his account, the True Dragon has nine forms; in other words, if he could gather the nine demonic beasts representing those nine forms into his own body, he could thereby break through to Foundation Establishment and transform into a True Dragon. Thus, beneath his seemingly normal physique, his body was actually composed entirely of demonic beast components.
A typical madman.
As for Bi Feiyuan, she too was Xia Weiming.
Merely by appearance, Bi Feiyuan was a stunning woman of sixteen, her curvaceous delicate body draped only in a thin layer of gauze, her vivid red skin clearly visible.
If that were all, it would not be much.
Senior Butian Peak, well, that was normal too.
What truly made her stand out among countless disciples of the Holy Sect and advance to True Disciple was a great divine technique she cultivated as her main practice, named "Desire Sea Demon Heart."
As the name suggests, this great divine technique would cause anyone who harbored desire toward her to suffer qi deviation.
Therefore, Bi Feiyuan dressed so lightly; whenever she engaged in magical combat, her first move was to violently tear off her clothes, then fight the enemy bare-chested.
The effect was nothing short of a devastating area-of-effect weapon.
Undoubtedly, she was a formidable whore.
Oh right, there was also Qin Tianhe.
He was a loafer.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang could not help but sigh.
Glancing around, fools, madmen, lunatics, whores—in such a vast Holy Sect, was there not a single other normal good person like himself?
