Chapter 234: Did You Truly Think You Could Bewitch Me with Feminine Charms?

Another half hour passed.

True Person Miaoyin finally exhausted her magic power completely; still hoping to fight with her dharma body, she was eventually tackled by a group of burly men, thereby losing all ability to resist.

"I—"

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Without a shred of mercy, long blades pierced her beautiful body one after another, draining her blood just like that, causing her strength to ebb away until she could no longer struggle.

Immediately afterward, several burly men stepped forward, took out ropes, and bound her tightly in a hogtie; the rope was folded in the middle, looped around her neck, threaded sequentially through the valleys of her body and across her collarbones, binding her hands and feet behind her back, winding around her lower crotch, resembling a thick tortoise shell to ensure she could hardly make even the slightest movement.

"Mmph," True Person Miaoyin instantly let out a pained groan.

After all this was done, the remaining soldiers hoisted True Person Miaoyin up, brought her to the cliff where Lu Yang was located, and then directly threw her onto the ground.

"Immortal Master, the Otherworldly Heavenly Demon has been captured!"

Seeing these 【disaster victims】, who had consumed Qi-devouring worm eggs to defy heaven and change their fate, each wore an earnest expression, staring straight at Lu Yang before them.

Lu Yang walked out of the tea pavilion and looked at True Person Miaoyin.

"Yuan Tu... is there some misunderstanding in all this?"

Seeing this, True Person Miaoyin forced a smile, yet under her current state of disheveled hair and blood-stained body, even the most beautiful smile became utterly grotesque:

"There is no misunderstanding."

Lu Yang's expression remained calm as he walked to stand before True Person Miaoyin: "Since Lady wished to kill me, it is only normal that I return the favor, is it not?"

"When did I ever think of killing you?"

True Person Miaoyin naturally could not admit to it; she immediately shook her head and said, "There must be some misunderstanding here. If you don't believe me, you can absorb my essence; I know you will."

"Once you absorb my essence, you will know what is true and what is false."

True Person Miaoyin's voice was weak; she did not mind having her essence absorbed, seeking only to survive, and moreover, she possessed a secret technique that allowed her to turn the tables on her absorber during the process.

Hearing this, Lu Yang also stood up.

However, just as True Person Miaoyin thought the other party was about to absorb her essence, Lu Yang directly drew his sword from its sheath and sliced off her beautiful head with a single strike.

"Did you truly think you could bewitch me with feminine charms?"

From the very beginning, Lu Yang had never intended to absorb True Person Miaoyin's essence; otherwise, given his character of disliking waste, he would have long ordered people to queue up outside.

Although he could absorb her essence, there was no need.

After all, True Person Miaoyin possessed nothing that made him drool, and he was not fond of women anyway; it was better to kill her early and avoid trouble arising from delay.

'Indeed, deep down I am actually still a good person.'

Lu Yang sighed with emotion, then raised his head to gaze at the sky, a trace of disappointment appearing in his eyes because the 【Villager】 fate star belonging to him had not changed.

'Indeed, it is not that simple; no matter how stupid one is, it is impossible for the supreme position of the Sun-Moon Son of Heaven to be handed directly to me just because I killed Miaoyin... Does this mean I was taken advantage of for free? Are Heaven and Earth reneging on the deal? If that is the case, then do not blame me for turning hostile...'

Just as Lu Yang was pondering this.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Chen Anmin, the 【Great General Commanding Troops】 beside him, suddenly froze, and then a brilliance resembling a solar corona abruptly erupted from his body.

The next second, his fate star gradually changed its appearance.

High above the dome of heaven, Chen Anmin's fate star transformed into a fireball, rapidly expanding until it finally became a blazing, brilliant sun too difficult to look at directly!

【Bright Son of Heaven】

A fate star that is the sun, the supreme position of the current age!

At this moment, Lu Yang, who was close at hand, felt it most clearly; he felt that in front of the other party, his entire cultivation base of Mid Stage Foundation Establishment vanished in an instant!

At this time, he was just like the previous True Person Miaoyin; all his status was suppressed to the point of near annihilation, leaving only magic power like rootless water; this was the suppressing power brought by the 【Bright Son of Heaven】, and恐怕 only a Great True Person of Late Stage Foundation Establishment could maintain a portion of their strength before him!

"Im-Immortal Master?"

Chen Anmin looked at Lu Yang with a stunned expression, only to discover that the Immortal Master whom he had always felt was unfathomable now appeared no different from an ordinary mortal.

It seems he is not so formidable after all?

While Chen Anmin was still dazed, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, thinking secretly: 'What a brilliant move of removing the firewood from under the pot; instead of giving it to me, you give it to someone by my side?'

'Are you trying to turn hostile against me?'

Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Yang's mouth immediately curled up slightly, revealing a cold sneer.

However, just then, Chen Anmin suddenly came to his senses, then abruptly turned his head to look at the mid-air and shouted sternly, "Who goes there! Get out here!"

A roar that should have been merely human, under the amplification of the 【Bright Son of Heaven】, transformed into a macroscopic sound like a tiger's roar and dragon's chant; wherever it passed, the soldiers one and all knelt down, and simultaneously, an invisible layer of magic power was peeled away by the sound, as if lifting a curtain, revealing the figure hidden behind the veil.

"Impressive; Fellow Daoist truly lives up to his reputation."

Lu Yang looked over and immediately narrowed his eyes, seeing that the newcomer was a refined-looking young man with a somewhat fake amiable smile constantly hanging on his face.

But more importantly was his cultivation base.

For a moment, Lu Yang felt somewhat startled and apprehensive.

'Late Stage Foundation Establishment!?'

To still possess the power of floating and flying under the suppression of the 【Bright Son of Heaven】, according to Lu Yang's previous deduction, required at least a cultivation base of Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

'Fortunately, I was cautious and made preparations to use full strength even when a lion catches a rabbit, mobilizing all combat-ready troops at once; otherwise, facing a Late Stage Great True Person, without an army formation of over a hundred thousand linked to fate stars for suppression, victory would not be certain, and it is even possible to be counter-killed by him on the battlefield!'

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yuan Tu."

Seeing Suo Huan with a calm expression, he cupped his fists toward Lu Yang: "This dharma body of Fellow Daoist's is so exquisitely crafted that it forms its own fate; no wonder you dare to act in such a manner."

Bribing the 【Ten Thousand Martial Worlds】 with earth pulse qi.

Defecting to the 【Ten Thousand Martial Worlds】 and mobilizing armies to suppress and exterminate True Person Miaoyin.

Could no one think of such operations? Of course not; the Holy Sect has discovered the 【Ten Thousand Martial Worlds】 for so long; how could no one have thought of it?

Yet why has no one done it until now?

Because the losses outweigh the gains; do not look at Lu Yang being fine now; that is because he is within the 【Ten Thousand Martial Worlds】; once he returns, he will inevitably suffer heavenly punishment.

After all, if two people go out with Earth Fiend qi but only one returns, in the judgment of Heaven and Earth, this counts as a 【loss】; if not punishing you, then who? To avoid punishment, one must bring back a greater amount of World-Heaven qi, allowing Heaven and Earth to judge it as a 【profit】 or 【no loss】, only then can one escape disaster.

Heaven and Earth do not look at the process, only the result.

Because no one wants to suffer heavenly punishment inexplicably, most cultivators who travel to the World-Heaven together choose to help each other, even within the Holy Sect.

However, Lu Yang is different.

Not to mention that his immortal embryo dharma body forms its own fate, making it difficult for heavenly punishment to implicate his main body; even if it truly did implicate him, he has the confidence to resolve this problem.

'As long as I earn back more World-Heaven qi, all problems cease to be problems.'

Thinking of this, Lu Yang could not help but glance at Chen Anmin beside him; looking at the dazzling 【Bright Son of Heaven】 on the other's body, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
