Chapter 163: No One Shall Leave!

Overseas, on a vast and boundless expanse of sea.

Three Nascent Soul avatars and one Daoist Sin filled the void with terrifying qi, silencing heaven and earth until even the waves and wind grew quiet.

Drip, drip.

A cold bead of sweat slowly slid down Daoist Hong Yun's forehead.

This was rare for someone of his cultivation, for it meant the shock in his heart had become so great he could no longer perfectly control his dharma body.

Who am I? Where am I? What has happened?

At this moment, only these three questions remained in Daoist Hong Yun's mind; he had thought he was coming to bully novices in a fish pond, only to find four sharks emerging from the water!

He admitted that his voice had indeed been a little too loud just now.

Yet, no matter what, Daoist Hong Yun was once a True Person, so this state of blank-mindedness lasted only an instant before he recovered.

"This poor Daoist is Hong Yun; I greet you, fellow Daoists."

Before his voice had even faded, Daoist Hong Yun released his own qi, and a brilliant light shone behind his head, manifesting the magnificent scene of the 【Precious Radiance Blessed Land】.

Seeing this, the four originally hostile gazes immediately softened considerably; after all, reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and refining a Blessed Land made one a top-tier combatant among Foundation Establishment True Persons, capable of fighting a Daoist Sin of an Innate True Person, and even when facing a Nascent Soul avatar, one at least possessed the right to negotiate.

Seeing this reaction, Daoist Hong Yun also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The next second, he quickly spoke up to decisively distance himself: "To be honest, this was just a misunderstanding; I was dragged here by karma and accidentally entered this place."

"True Person! True Person!"

Before Daoist Hong Yun could finish speaking, the Blood Demon True Person on the ground抢先 spoke first: "True Person, did you not come to save me? You cannot abandon me!"

The moment he saw Daoist Hong Yun, the Blood Demon True Person understood that something had gone wrong.

Had the True Person fallen from his fruit position!?

His greatest confidence until now had been Daoist Hong Yun, but now that Hong Yun had fallen from his fruit position, it was practically a death sentence for him!

How could he accept this?

Therefore, without any hesitation, he spoke up first; as long as Daoist Hong Yun cared about his face, he would not dare to abandon him in front of everyone.

Despite these words, the Blood Demon True Person's face was filled with despair.

After all, he himself was actually quite clear about the situation.

The next second, Daoist Hong Yun, with a cold expression, flicked his wide sleeve and sent the Blood Demon True Person flying: "Who are you? This seat does not know you."

—How could a True Person of the Holy Sect care about face?

Moreover, the Blood Demon True Person had truly坑ed Daoist Hong Yun badly this time; if the current situation weren't so inappropriate, Hong Yun would have started cursing long ago.

Go fuck yourself and get lost.

Don't come near me!

"It is you, Hong Yun..."

The three Nascent Soul avatars present naturally recognized their former peer, yet they had no intention of making things difficult for him and chose to let him go.

After all, everyone within the Holy Sect knew about the struggle between Master Master Chongguang and Daoist Hong Yun; such strife was beneficial to all parties, and killing Hong Yun would effectively be helping Master Chongguang, something the Nascent Soul avatars present would certainly not do to aid an enemy.

As for the Daoist Sin of the Innate True Person, he too recognized Daoist Hong Yun.

After all, the arrangements the Innate True Person had made in the Biyang Cultivation World in the past had been destroyed by Daoist Hong Yun.

Thus, their relationship was not bad; in fact, their friendship was quite deep, and Hong Yun had once tried to rescue him, though unsuccessfully.

Seeing that no one blocked him, Daoist Hong Yun finally set his mind at ease.

"This poor Daoist has urgent matters to attend to and will not stay long."

As his words fell, he immediately took a step, intending to tear through the void and depart, yet when his raised foot landed, he remained in the same spot.

Nothing happened.

"Hmm!?"

Almost simultaneously, the three Nascent Soul avatars and the Innate Daoist Sin also sensed something amiss and one by one turned their gazes toward the instigator of all this.

In midair, Lu Yang sat with a pale complexion; his 【Embrace Guard Mountain】 had been crushed directly by the qi of several Nascent Soul avatars, and the resulting backlash instantly inflicted heavy injuries upon him, yet his expression showed not a shred of fear, but even carried a hint of strange excitement.

The baiting is over; it is time to reel in the line.

"This is truly... playing too big!"

In Lu Yang's hand, a talisman shimmered with light.

To be honest, with things escalating to this extent—three Nascent Soul avatars, one Hong Yun, and one Daoist Sin all appearing—Lu Yang instead felt a subtle worry.

Could Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue True Person fail to handle this?

Chusheng Sect, Sacred Fire Cliff.

Inside the main hall, Master Master Chongguang suddenly opened his eyes, only to see heavy snow falling and an unparalleled beauty standing quietly amidst the snow.

Master Master Chongguang hurriedly rose: "I pay my respects to the True Person."

"Rise," the woman in the snow said indifferently. "My handwritten letter has been activated; after so long, this Lu Yang is indeed impressive and no coward."

The handwritten letter she had given Lu Yang was both protection and a test; if Lu Yang had used the letter casually the moment he reached overseas instead of trying to resolve the trouble himself first, she would still have intervened, but her evaluation of him would have dropped a tier.

After all, the Holy Sect does not need giant infants who only know how to seek help from their elders.

When asking for help, one must offer sufficient benefits and show one's value; the Holy Sect does not support idlers, and those without value may as well be dead.

Therefore, she was now quite satisfied with Lu Yang.

Because he had waited so long before activating the letter, it showed that Lu Yang had already attempted to solve the problem himself but lacked the ability, requiring her to clean up the mess.

"I shall go and take a look."

Hearing this, Master Master Chongguang cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Tu carries heavy karma, and the trouble he has attracted is likely significant; this time, we trouble you, True Person."

"Heh."

Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue True Person shook her head upon hearing this: "You have not yet become a True Person, so you ultimately do not understand; for those of us at this realm, Foundation Establishment cultivators are like ants."

"No matter how heavy the karma or how many troubles, they are limited to the Foundation Establishment realm."

"To me, they are not worth mentioning."

With that, Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue True Person vanished from the spot.

The next second, on the boundless sea.

As brilliant light emanated from Lu Yang's hand, Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue True Person stepped out, casually glancing around... and then she froze.

These people look so familiar.

"Shuiyue, Zhengde, Tianwu?"

Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue True Person blinked her beautiful eyes, her gaze sweeping over the three Nascent Soul avatars present before finally landing on the sweat-drenched Hong Yun.

"I pay my respects to the True Person..."

Only when Lu Yang's voice cautiously reached her ears did Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue True Person turn around, examining Lu Yang with an unprecedented look.

Then, she laughed.

At first, it was a light laugh like the chiming of silver bells, but soon the laughter turned into an unrestrained roar that spread far and wide, causing goose-down snow to begin falling between heaven and earth.

"As expected of the Holy Sect's pillar praised by Master Chongguang; you have truly stirred up several big troubles for me!"

Seeing this, Lu Yang gritted his teeth and hurriedly bowed: "True Person, please forgive me..."

"Forgive you? No need!"

As her words fell, Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue True Person curled her lips, her vermilion lips and white teeth revealing intense ferocity: "On the contrary, I should thank you."

"What happens next has nothing to do with you."

"Your karma, these big troubles—I accept them all."

Meanwhile, the three Nascent Soul avatars also changed color, and then these avatars rapidly dimmed, while Hong Yun and the Innate Daoist Sin fled for their lives.

"It's that madwoman from the Mo Sect..."

"Wait, has she come in her true form?"

"Oh no!"

But it was too late; the next second, Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue True Person's figure vanished from the spot, leaving only a lingering echo resounding in all directions:

"Want to leave? Just stay here, all of you!"
