Chapter 410: Forging a Grudge

Zhang Nuo's figure rushed to a spot a hundred zhang away from the two and stopped, but he did not strike immediately, instead watching the two fight with a cold gaze!

Although Zhou Huizheng was very unwilling to let Zhang Nuo get involved, given Zhang Nuo's personality of always repaying grudges, he would absolutely not let this excellent opportunity slip by!

The Ye Family ancestor Ye Bufan was also a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator; in terms of cultivation and divine abilities, he was not inferior to Lu Yuhou. These two had already been fighting for a long time without a victor emerging!

At this moment, both of them noticed Zhang Nuo's arrival. Ye Bufan was indifferent, but Lu Yuhou's expression was extremely ugly. He had made things difficult for Zhou Huizheng and the others on the road, and he had not expected to encounter them so quickly after entering the First Immortal Mountain. Judging by Zhang Nuo's posture, it was clear he intended to strike!

"Zhang Nuo, what do you want to do? Are you trying to rob someone while they are in trouble?"

Lu Yuhou used a gap in his attacks to shout at Zhang Nuo.

"What? The famous Great Cultivator Lu is actually afraid of others launching a sneak attack?"

Zhang Nuo's voice was very cold, like the chill emitted from thousand-year ice, which made Lu Yuhou's heart tremble. Everything was clear now; the other party wanted to help Ye Bufan wipe him out!

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have actually advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage! It seems your aptitude is truly heaven-sent!"

Ye Bufan felt that Zhang Nuo also had a grudge against Lu Yuhou, and his heart was instantly filled with joy. Over these years, Zhang Nuo's reputation on the Xianhuan Continent had become increasingly resounding. If this person also attacked, the two of them working together would have a chance to behead Lu Yuhou here!

"Fellow Daoist Ye, please be patient for a moment. Once I finish one thing, I will come over to help you immediately!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo looked up toward the flying car high in the distance. He saw two beautiful female cultivators sitting in the car; one of them was the very woman who had fanned the flames and urged Lu Yuhou to fight him back then! Such a woman was a root of trouble; if she wasn't wiped out now, she would be a disaster sooner or later!

At this moment, the two women on the flying car felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar when they were stared at by Zhang Nuo's cold gaze. Their cultivation had only just entered the Golden Core Stage, and they were willing to serve as cultivation vessels to gain some benefits from Lu Yuhou! Lu Yuhou kept an eye on Zhang Nuo while parrying Ye Bufan's attacks.

Once he saw that his target was actually those two female cultivators, he let out a long howl.

"Zhang Nuo! If you dare to touch them, I..."

Before Lu Yuhou could finish his words, Zhang Nuo's shoulders moved slightly, and two black butterfly wings a zhang wide grew rapidly from his back. The next moment, the butterfly wings vibrated, and he rushed toward the flying car in the distant sky!

When the two beautiful female cultivators on the car saw this, they were frightened out of their wits and hurriedly ordered the cultivator driving the car to flee! But before the driver could turn the car around, Zhang Nuo's figure had already reached the vicinity of the flying car!

He flipped his hand suddenly, and a folding fan flashed into existence. With a light pinch of two fingers, he snapped the fan open with a 'pop', and immediately, a raging gale erupted from the fan's surface! With a follow-through swing, several gusts of wind roared toward the flying car!

"Ah! ~"

Following a few screams, the two beautiful female cultivators and the driver, along with the flying car, were instantly torn into pieces by the powerful wind, and a thick, bloody stench lingered in the air for a long time!

"Zhang Nuo!"

Seeing his two beloved female cultivators wiped out by Zhang Nuo's strike, Lu Yuhou's eyes turned blood-red with rage, and his teeth gnashed with a 'clatter'. Since he had become famous, no one had ever been so bold as to slaughter his women!

"No need to rush! You are next!"

Zhang Nuo's gaze turned cold, and the butterfly wings on his back moved lightly, bringing him to Ye Bufan's side like a breeze!

"Fellow Daoist Ye! Now we can deal with him with all our might!"

Ye Bufan carefully sensed the spiritual pressure on Zhang Nuo and was filled with wonder. After not seeing him for several years, the other party had actually cultivated into a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and the strength of his cultivation was far beyond his imagination. If he could have kept him in the Ye Family back then, he might have been the pillar of the Ye Family!

Just as he hesitated for a moment, a flash of light appeared in the distance, and Zhou Huizheng also arrived here! Immediately, the spiritual pressure of two Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators and one Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator pressed toward Lu Yuhou!

"Zhou Huizheng! You dare to strike at this old man too! Do you not want your Giant Spirit Pavilion anymore?"

Facing the pincer attack of three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, Lu Yuhou felt uneasy, but his face remained fierce. He used the Giant Spirit Pavilion to threaten Zhou Huizheng, hoping the other party would have some reservations!

"Fellow Daoist Lu! At this point, do you think I am still afraid of your revenge? Do you think you can leave here alive today?"

A cold smile appeared on Zhou Huizheng's face. Since Zhang Nuo had already struck, even if he didn't help, Lu Yuhou would still settle this score with the Giant Spirit Pavilion!

"Fine! This old man would like to see what you three can do to me!"

With his eyes bulging with rage, Lu Yuhou really wanted to grab the three of them and tear them into pieces, but none of these three were simple characters. Ye Bufan, the ancestor of the Ye Family, had been in the Nascent Soul Late Stage for hundreds of years; if not for the trouble of a bottleneck, he might have already entered the Spirit Severing Stage!

As for Zhou Huizheng, he had only advanced to the Nascent Soul Late Stage in the last hundred years, but his cultivation was also not to be underestimated! And Zhang Nuo was even more so; having clashed with his Divine Sense once before, he already had a measure of him!

Any one of these three, taken individually, was an extremely troublesome character. No matter how conceited Lu Yuhou was, he had no confidence in defeating them!

Don't look at how tough he sounded; his heart was beating like a drum, and he couldn't calm down at all! Just then, Ye Bufan laughed out loud.

"Lu Yuhou, it seems your years of evil-doing have finally come to an end today! Prepare to die!"

As soon as his voice fell, a green light flashed in Ye Bufan's hand, slashing directly at Lu Yuhou.

"Want to kill this old man? It's not that easy!"

Showing an angry expression, Lu Yuhou flipped his palm and also unleashed a golden light. But the moment the two rays of light collided, the golden light released by Lu Yuhou exploded with a loud 'boom', and a massive wave of spiritual pressure followed, forcibly pushing Zhang Nuo and the other two back by dozens of zhang!

Taking advantage of this time, Lu Yuhou flashed, turning into a streak of light to flee into the distant sky! By the time the residual power dissipated, Zhang Nuo looked toward Lu Yuhou's direction, but there was no one left!

"Sigh! This old fox, he actually didn't hesitate to self-detonate his Magic Treasure to escape!"

Zhou Huizheng sighed heavily. It turned out that the moment Lu Yuhou unleashed his Magic Treasure, he had already made up his mind to use the power of the self-detonating treasure to push the three back, and then use that time to escape!

He had been able to run rampant for so many years, so he was no fool; only by running when he couldn't win could he save his life and wait for an opportunity to take revenge! Having let Lu Yuhou go this time, if he were to leave the First Immortal Mountain, then neither the Giant Spirit Pavilion nor the Ye Family would have any peaceful days! They all knew this, but there was no other way at the moment!

"Many thanks to the two Fellow Daoists for your help this time!"

Ye Bufan cupped his hands toward Zhang Nuo and Zhou Huizheng. If they hadn't struck in time, he didn't know how long he would have been entangled with Lu Yuhou, and he might have even fallen on the spot!

"Fellow Daoist Ye, no need for formalities! The Giant Spirit Pavilion and the Ye Family have always been on good terms, so helping is only natural!"

Zhou Huizheng was very good at doing favors that cost him nothing. He had come to help entirely because Zhang Nuo had struck first; otherwise, even if Ye Bufan had fallen, he would never have clashed with a villain like Lu Yuhou! Although they didn't kill Lu Yuhou this time, they had earned the favor of the Ye Family; there were gains and losses, so it wasn't a loss!

"Since Lu Yuhou has escaped, Ye will take his leave now. We shall meet again if there is an opportunity!"

After the three exchanged a few more polite words, Ye Bufan turned into a streak of light and shot off into the distant sky, while Zhang Nuo and the other returned to Su Mubai's side!

"Fellow Daoist Su, if we encounter Lu Yuhou again, I'm afraid we will have to trouble you to set up a Dharma Array so he cannot escape again. This person is a huge threat to both of our families!"

Su Mubai had stood by and watched without intervening this time, which made Zhou Huizheng very unhappy. If Su Mubai had set up a Restriction in the surroundings beforehand, Lu Yuhou would not have escaped so easily!

"That was indeed a momentary oversight on my part! Fellow Daoist Zhou, rest assured, if we encounter him again, I will certainly not let him escape easily!"

After speaking briefly, Su Mubai appeared extremely regretful. In truth, he had never wanted to provoke Lu Yuhou in his heart; he was deeply afraid that if the killing failed, it would instead cause the other party to be dissatisfied with the Su Family! After all, this Lu Yuhou had a precedent of dragging down large sects!

Zhou Huizheng found it hard to say anything more. The four continued to fly forward. After this battle, they had forged a deep grudge with Lu Yuhou; no matter what, they could not let him go if they saw him again! Zhang Nuo had made up his mind that even if he encountered him alone, he would use all his divine abilities without reservation!

After flying for four or five days, the four of Zhang Nuo arrived above a valley. They saw that the sounds of shouting and killing within the valley were earth-shaking, and waves of not-so-weak Spirit Power were surging into the sky!

The four looked at each other. They did not expect to encounter such a large-scale battle just as they were about to approach the top of the Xian Mountain. Judging by the sounds, it should be cultivators from some large sect fighting against Earth Giants!

"Pavilion Master, Fellow Daoist Su, you wait here for a moment, I will go and scout the situation!"

After Zhang Nuo finished speaking, the Nine Dragon Sword Case within his body turned slightly, and the Spirit Power fluctuations on his body were completely absorbed. After his figure slowly landed on the ground, he sprinted toward the valley!

Su Mubai and Zhou Huizheng looked at each other. Zhang Nuo's secret technique for concealing his cultivation was truly remarkable. They had just been standing right next to him, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have been able to detect Zhang Nuo's existence at all! Even their Divine Sense could not detect him in the slightest!

Such an eerie way to conceal one's aura; if used for a sneak attack, I fear there are very few who could escape! Su Mubai felt more and more how terrifying Zhang Nuo was! No wonder this young cultivator became famous throughout the Immortal Illusion Continent in such a short time; it seems he truly has his own unique qualities!
