Chapter 108: Paying Respects to the Immortal

Zong Tianling narrowed his eyes slightly: "Not bad, not bad. The three of you have already achieved minor success in the Hidden Demon Art; as long as you do not reveal your demonic Qi, no one will be able to tell."

"In the Tianhe Galaxy, the turbid Qi rises and the clear Qi descends."

"Your speed in cultivating the Heavenly Demon Art will advance by leaps and bounds, and you will certainly be able to enter the Changheng Academy in one month."

Black Qi churned within his pitch-black eyes: "But before you enter the Changheng Academy, you must complete one task."

"Each of you must kill one thousand people in the Bahuang Star Domain and retrieve their hearts and Living Souls!"

"Can you do it?"

Zong Xuejun, Ming Tiansuo, and Shen Guangdao bowed in unison: "We certainly can!"

The eyes of the three turned scarlet in an instant, and a cold, chilling murderous intent radiated from their bodies.

Zong Tianling nodded with satisfaction: "Act on the night of the moon's concealment; I will send people to assist you!"

At the same time.

On the west side of the Bahuang Star Domain, at the edge of the Sea of Death, dark clouds rolled, and lightning flashed and thundered.

A figure in dark clothes shot up into the sky and let out a long howl toward the heavens.

With just one sword strike, he shattered a bolt of lightning, and with another, he shattered the dark clouds.

"Hahaha!"

"I have advanced to the Heart Movement Stage; Lu Tianyu, I can slay you with a single sword strike!"

"You won't even have the chance to enter the Changheng Academy!"

Luo Chen's eyes were filled with malice and resentment.

"Kid, what is slaying a mere Lu Tianyu? Your goal is to reach the peak of the martial path in the Tianhe Galaxy!"

The voice of Mo Sha Di Zun rang out: "Two people have come to deliver their own deaths; go and slay them, then retrieve their Heart Blood for me to refine."

Two streaks of sword light arrived rapidly from the east.

Luo Chen flew out on his sword and, without a word, attacked directly.

The young man and woman were shocked and hurriedly brandished their swords to block: "Kid, do you know who we are?"

"You dare to attack us!"

The man and woman were none other than Yun Fenghua, a disciple of Liu Jinzi, and Murong Xue, a disciple of Jian Wuya.

With nothing to do, the two were wandering around the Eight Emperors Star and came over to investigate after discovering an anomaly here.

They had not expected to encounter Luo Chen, who had just cultivated the Heavenly Evil Demon Art, and he attacked them directly.

Luo Chen laughed loudly: "I don't care who you are; I'll just kill you!"

Hum!

His pupils suddenly turned scarlet, and the aura on his body climbed steadily, reaching its peak in the blink of an eye.

He slashed his sword toward the two.

"Oh no!"

Murong Xue and Yun Fenghua were both shocked and hurriedly drew their swords to defend.

They were only at the peak of the Fusion Period; how could they possibly be a match for a cultivator at the peak of the Heart Movement Stage?

Moreover, the aura on this person was bizarre and his murderous intent was oppressive.

But suddenly, with a *chi* sound.

The sword light suddenly split in two, aiming only for the two's heads.

*Puchi! *

Before Yun Fenghua could react, the sword light pierced through his brow, his eyes wide open.

The jade pendant on Murong Xue's chest suddenly exploded, and a streak of sword light flew out to block the incoming sword light.

The next second.

A teleportation talisman appeared in her hand, and she spat a mouthful of blood onto it: "I will remember you!"

"I will return to report this to my master and will definitely have you slain!"

A yellow glow enveloped Murong Xue's body.

Luo Chen slashed with his sword but struck nothing; Murong Xue had disappeared.

Luo Chen shouted: "Oh no!"

"Do not panic, disciple; she is thirteen miles to the east. Pursue her on your sword and get within five miles of her, and I will strike!"

"Understood!"

Luo Chen immediately flew off on his sword.

Meanwhile, thirteen miles to the east.

Murong Xue was fleeing in a panic on her sword while crushing a distress talisman, and only then did she heave a sigh of relief:

"Master must have received the message and will arrive soon; I hope the villain doesn't..."

"Oh no! How is he so fast!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a streak of sword light coming from afar at extreme speed.

Murong Xue pushed her speed to the limit.

But suddenly the sword light stopped, yet the sense of unease in Murong Xue's heart grew even stronger.

Suddenly, a pitch-black ghostly face descended from the sky and plunged directly into her forehead.

Murong Xue's entire face instantly turned a pitch-black color, blood slowly flowed from her seven orifices, and her body fell from the sky.

*Clang! *

A sharp streak of sword light arrived from the east.

It arrived almost instantly, catching Murong Xue just as she was about to hit the ground.

Jian Wuya observed the pitch-black complexion of Murong Xue and his expression changed drastically: "Not good, this is a Demon Art!"

He did not hesitate, quickly sealing all of Murong Xue's acupoints before flying on his sword toward the Donghuang Xingyu.

Jian Wuya intended to seek out Gui Shen Xie Yi for treatment, as he was helpless regarding Murong Xue, who had been afflicted by a Demon Art.

Meanwhile, five miles to the west, Luo Chen asked in confusion: "Master, why did you stop me from killing that woman?"

He felt somewhat depressed.

After cultivating the Heavenly Fiend Demon Art, his temperament had become cruel and bloodthirsty, a fact even he himself did not realize.

"A cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement stage has arrived; as your master, I cannot defeat them yet."

The leisurely voice of Mo Sha Di Zun rang out: "You must cultivate as quickly as possible and get me more Heart Blood."

Luo Chen's eyes turned scarlet: "Rest assured, Master, I will!"

Mo Sha Di Zun exhorted: "I will teach you a mental cultivation method to stabilize your mind; practice it now!"

And at this moment.

On a desolate, uninhabited small planet in the Zhuoliu Xingyu, Lu Tianyu placed thirty-three villagers in a forest.

He spoke indifferently: "There are no other living beings on this planet; you may rest assured and settle down here."

Lu Tianyu then tossed a large amount of food and tools onto the ground: "This food is enough for you to live on for half a year; take care of yourselves!"

As soon as his voice fell, the villagers knelt down one after another to thank him: "Thank you, Immortal, for saving our lives!"

When they looked up again, Lu Tianyu's figure was already gone.

The plump woman who had previously wanted to offer herself to Lu Tianyu slowly stood up: "We have no way to repay the grace of saving our lives."

"We should build a temple, cast a statue, and worship the Immortal to receive the Immortal's protection!"

Once these words were spoken, the crowd expressed their agreement one after another.

Lu Tianyu knew nothing of this.

He began to cultivate as soon as he boarded the flying boat, leaving Lu Wenbin to pilot the flying boat to rendezvous with Guo Zhuying.

Two days later, the flying boat arrived at Liuli Xing in the Zhuoliu Xingyu.

On the advice of Guo Zhuying, Lu Tianyu directly hired a guide to tour the entirety of Liguang City.

Liguang City was the most prosperous city under the Liuli Sect's external administration, bar none.

Lu Tianyu frowned slightly: "Aside from brothels, there are only inns, food, and clothing here; is it suitable for doing business?"

There was one more thing he did not mention, which was the places selling goods for men and women.

The streets were filled with scantily clad women, and from time to time, women would wink and pose flirtatiously at him and Lu Wenbin.

It was vulgar beyond compare.

The level of prosperity was indeed very high, but walking along the way, there were almost no other shops, only tall buildings of this type.

He did not know why Guo Zhuying chose this kind of place to open a shop.

Guo Zhuying pursed her lips: "You wouldn't know about this."

"The pillar industries of the Liuli Sect are brothels and inns; the Liuli Sect also focuses primarily on cultivating the beauty, temperament, and hospitality skills of the women within the sect, with cultivation as a secondary pursuit."

"Men from over a dozen star regions in this generation all like to come to Liguang City to find women and stay in inns."

She stared at Lu Tianyu, blinking her beautiful eyes: "Goods for men and women sell extremely well here."

"If you were to open a medicinal pill shop here, which pills do you think would sell the best?"

Speaking of this, clouds of red flushed across Guo Zhuying's cheeks.
