Chapter 172: Why Does He Look More Like a Demon Lord Again?

Outside the Shenxiao Sect, amidst the vast sea of clouds, a female cultivator in a white skirt with a charming face leaned against the sky, holding a golden treasure mirror in her hand.

"If the Heaven-Gazing Treasure Mirror is not mistaken, that person should still be here."

As the female cultivator pondered, light flickered on the mirror, finally revealing a figure. Seeing this, the female cultivator instantly rejoiced and hurriedly transmitted her voice to invite a meeting.

However, before her words ended, the figure within the mirror seemed to sense something, suddenly looked up, and locked eyes with the female cultivator through the mirror, instantly startling her. The next second, the void cracked open, and Lu Yang, possessing the body of Su Nu, stepped out and arrived before the female cultivator.

"Piao Miao greets the high cultivator of the Holy Sect!"

Without any hesitation, the female cultivator bowed deeply and respectfully said, "A senior cultivator arriving at the Turbulent Sea after several hundred years brings honor to this humble place."

'Several hundred years?'

Hearing this, Lu Yang felt a slight stir in his heart but showed no expression on his face: "Your reaction is quite fast. I am the Peak Lord of Senior Butian of the Holy Sect, sent on a mission to inspect."

Having spoken, he took out the Senior Butian Decree.

Before leaving, Lu Yang moved with divine speed, giving Lady Ruoxiang no time to react, so this decree, which should have been left behind, was casually taken by him.

It was now perfectly suitable for proving his identity.

"So it is the Peak Lord of the Holy Sect!"

Piao Miao Fairy glanced at Lu Yang's decree and immediately bowed down without a word. However, seeing this, Lu Yang's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

This reaction is wrong.

The Peak Lord of Senior Butian is an old demon with years of experience, famous throughout the Holy Sect. If this were truly an affiliated sect of the Holy Sect, how could they know nothing?

Even if the other party did not know about the recent events within the Holy Sect, they could surely tell that he and the Peak Lord of Senior Butian were not the same person. In such a situation, without mentioning anything else, they should at least ask a question, yet Piao Miao Fairy raised no doubts at all and directly accepted his identity.

In an instant, a thought arose in Lu Yang's heart:

Is she deceiving me?

Does she intend to harm me?

"Strike first!"

The next second, Piao Miao Fairy looked up in horror, only to see a 【Yanma Hall】 descend from the sky, its doors wide open, directly trapping her inside!

In an instant, Piao Miao Fairy's expression changed drastically.

Where did I slip up?

In fact, she had not revealed many flaws; Lu Yang merely harbored suspicion. However, regarding the suspected target, Lu Yang's response was quite direct.

If I can win, then beat them up first!

"Boom!"

At that moment, surging yin evil spirits roared forth, the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner shook, and a large number of yin soldiers and ghost generals emerged, gathering in groups to shout and charge at Piao Miao Fairy.

However, seeing this scene, Piao Miao Fairy did not show panic; instead, she quickly calmed down. Then, a long ribbon appeared in her hand. As she unfurled it, auspicious clouds rolled and colorful ribbons streamed, protecting her entire body in the center and blocking the sky-filling evil qi.

"Daoist friend, you misunderstood."

While defending, Piao Miao Fairy did not forget to speak again: "We have no ill intentions, we only wish to meet the high cultivator of the Holy Sect. We earnestly hope for your compassion."

In her words, Piao Miao Fairy's tone was full of weakness.

Lu Yang glanced over and saw her tenderness like water, her beautiful eyes holding light, looking aggrieved yet too afraid to speak, making one involuntarily feel pity.

Unfortunately, Lu Yang had no taste for women.

The next second, Lu Yang's true body, thousands of li away, suddenly formed a hand seal. Divine arts flashed with brilliance, and 【Determine Intimacy and Distance】 was instantly cast.

Whoosh—whoosh—!

In an instant, Bai Guang flashed, and Su Nu's figure suddenly vanished from her spot. Naturally, the 【Yanma Hall】 she constructed followed immediately behind. Coincidentally, Piao Miao Fairy was still trapped inside the 【Yanma Hall】, unable to escape, and was dragged along by Su Nu, vanishing from her spot as well!

"Let's go!"

Lu Yang's movements were incredibly fast. As soon as he recalled Su Nu from a distance, he waved his large hand, and dozens to over a hundred sealing talismans fell directly onto the Yanma Hall.

"Spare my life..."

Before Piao Miao Fairy's voice could fully emerge, Lu Yang strangled it in its infancy. Then, Lu Yang flashed his figure and disappeared from the cultivation world.

The center of the one hundred and eight islands in the Turbulent Sea.

Inside a great hall at the Xian Alliance headquarters.

"Piao Miao's spiritual sense has vanished?"

"The Heaven-Gazing Treasure Mirror cannot find her?"

"Just moments ago it could, now it cannot. The other party's escape speed was extremely fast; they vanished in an instant. They have likely already left the Turbulent Sea territory by now."

"This..."

Eleven figures with hidden spiritual senses landed in the great hall, looking at each other, yet all saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

"Piao Miao is at least at the Dao-Integration realm, having received the 【Imperial Mansion Golden Script Dushu True Edict】. According to the records, she should not be weaker than an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Person. How could she be captured in a single exchange without even the strength to resist? Could the intruder be more than just early Foundation Establishment?"

The crowd discussed in a murmur, their tones revealing a degree of fear:

"What do we do now?"

"Three thousand years have passed. It has been exactly three thousand years. The destined day is approaching. If we do not find a way to save ourselves, we will all die in this broken place!"

"Moreover, if we delay the affairs of that my lord, we fear..."

"Enough!"

Finally, a Dao-Integration Grand Cultivator could not help but mutter in a low voice: "My mind is made up. Use the 【Imperial Mansion Golden Script Dushu True Edict】 to find Piao Miao's location."

"Truly do so?"

"Should we try the Heaven-Gazing Treasure Mirror again?"

A Dao-Integration Grand Cultivator looked hesitant: "After all, every time we use it, we weaken a bit more. I fear it will accelerate the process of being completely refined by this object..."

"That is better than waiting to die!"

The Dao-Integration Grand Cultivator who spoke had a rotting aura, was nearly a thousand years old, and held the highest prestige. Therefore, after several discussions, the group of Dao-Integration cultivators decided to cooperate.

Outside the Turbulent Sea.

Though Lu Yang had left, he had not gone far; instead, he found a seabed cave at the boundary, established a grotto, and only then took out the Myriad Spirits Banner.

"Let me interrogate you thoroughly."

Unsealing the 【Yama Hall】, Lu Yang seized the already limp and powerless Floating Immortal; although her essence remained at the Qi Refining stage, she was falsely holding the position of Foundation Establishment.

In terms of strength, she was strictly speaking much the same as Su Nu.

However, even if it was merely a false holding, as long as she guarded her Sea of Consciousness tightly, Lu Yang's current cultivation level could not perform soul-searching; the result would only be returning empty-handed.

The Floating Immortal obviously knew this as well, so she appeared quite calm:

"I will not say anything."

"No, you will."

Hearing this, Lu Yang likewise wore a calm expression; although soul-searching would not work, after taking charge of the Mending Heaven Peak Master, he had obtained the complete Mending Heaven True Scripture.

If soul-searching won't work, then cultivate by absorption!

Through the Mending Heaven True Scripture, combined with the 【Dual Cultivation Genius】 talent, he could completely extract the intelligence he wanted from the Floating Immortal!

Thinking of this, Lu Yang could not help but sigh again.

Clearly, this time coming overseas, he wanted to improve his image and be a good person, but as things went on, how did he become more and more like a demon lord?

"Alas, the Holy Sect has misled me!"

However, this was something that could not be helped.

Although Lu Yang considered his Dao Heart to be like iron, never confused by feminine charms, for the sake of seeking the Dao and for his own cultivation, he could only grit his teeth and proceed.
