Chapter 17: The Aggrieved Bahuang Laozu!

Lu Tianyu made an "oh" sound: "It seems you disdain to ambush and kill me."

"Let me guess. Did you use a Disguise Technique, or were you possessed?"

At first, he thought Lu Qingyan was the one who ambushed and killed him, but he did not expect it was not him.

Everyone has opened their windows to speak clearly, so there is no need to lie.

Lu Qingyan gave Lu Tianyu a thumbs up: "You are truly clever, you guessed right."

"I did indeed possess Lu Qingyan, but there is no need for you to know who I am."

"You only need to know that possessing you is enough, hahaha!"

As he spoke, his gaze suddenly turned cold and sinister.

Hum!

An extremely powerful pressure radiated from his body, surrounding Lu Tianyu like a tidal wave: "Kneel for me!"

"Tell me what you saw in the Forbidden Abyss. Otherwise, I will use the Soul Searching Technique on you and make you wish you were dead!"

Facing soul pressure no weaker than the Void Hollow Stage, Lu Tianyu stood unmoved and said indifferently: "Is that it?"

"You want to make me wish I were dead? I think it should be you who gets soul-searched."

As soon as these words were spoken.

"Ah?"

Lu Qingyan exclaimed in surprise: "How are you not afraid of my pressure!"

"You, could it be that you were possessed by a great power in the Abyss?"

He had an expression of sudden realization, his face changed drastically, and he turned to flee.

Not fearing his Void Hollow Stage pressure at all, he was at least a cultivator of the same rank.

It was also possible that a Great Vehicle Stage or Tribulation Transcendence Stage soul had possessed Lu Tianyu.

Otherwise, Lu Tianyu alone could not have escaped from the Abyss.

His soul was inferior to Lu Tianyu's, and he could not win in a fight, so he could only run.

But just at this moment.

A soul pressure more than three times greater than his own pressed down like a great mountain crushing the top.

Thump!

Lu Qingyan collapsed directly to the ground, trembling: "You, you are an Emperor Realm cultivator!"

"You really are not Lu Tianyu!"

He secretly thought it was over, he had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice!

Lu Tianyu stepped forward and slapped Lu Qingyan across the face twice: "Idiot, if I am not Lu Tianyu, then who am I!"

"Speak the truth, who exactly are you? Why did you possess Lu Qingyan?"

He stepped on Lu Qingyan's head: "If you don't speak, I will immediately use the Soul Searching Technique!"

"Don't... absolutely do not search my soul!"

Lu Qingyan knew better than anyone the immense pain of being soul-searched, "I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"I, I am Bahuang Laozu!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was Lu Tianyu's turn to be shocked: "What did you say?"

"You are Bahuang Laozu?"

"How is this possible? Nonsense!"

Slap, slap, slap~

Lu Tianyu directly slapped Lu Qingyan a dozen more times: "If you spout nonsense again, I really will search your soul!"

Everyone in Bahuang knows that Bahuang Laozu appears once every ten years to meet and converse with the Bahuang Star Domain.

The last meeting was only a year ago, and after Changmei Laozu returned, he even told Lu Tianyu the detailed particulars.

Only a year has passed, how could Bahuang Laozu possess a small cultivator like Lu Qingyan?

No one would believe it if it were said out loud!

"Ah, ah!"

Lu Qingyan let out a series of miserable wails: "I can swear by the Heavenly Dao, I am absolutely not lying!"

"I am Bahuang Laozu!"

"What Changmei Laozu saw last time was my Clone."

"I went to the Zhuoliu Xingyu to look for Thunderclap Stone to prepare for Tribulation Transcendence, but I was unlucky and encountered the Dark Turbid Current; my body was devoured, and my soul escaped."

He wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Lu Tianyu raising his hand: "Wait!"

Lu Tianyu formed seals with both hands and cast a Soul Restriction into Lu Qingyan's forehead.

Then he took out the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron and suppressed Lu Qingyan within it with a thud.

Thump!

Lu Tianyu sat down on the ground with a plop.

He gasped for air, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead:

"I am not a Great Vehicle Stage soul after all, I cannot hold on for long, but this is already enough!"

He took a medicinal pill from the Phoenix Ring and swallowed it, then sat cross-legged on the flying boat to begin recovering.

At this moment, his mind was completely dazed.

He really did not expect that catching Lu Qingyan would yield such earth-shattering news.

Bahuang Laozu had actually had his physical body devoured, and only a soul body remained.

If this matter were to spread, the entire Bahuang Star Domain would immediately fall into chaos.

If this were to spread to the outer star territories.

The four major star territories surrounding the Bahuang Star Domain are the Zhuoliu Xingyu, Dumu Star Domain, Dark Star Territory, and Xuanqing Star Domain.

They would likely launch a war at the first opportunity to completely carve up the entire Bahuang.

Both the four major star territories and the Bahuang Star Domain are small star territories within the Changheng Star Domain.

Although the Bahuang Star Domain is the most barren star territory, as a cultivator, who would complain about having too many Spirit Stones?

No one would complain about their territory being too large!

With the Void Refinement stage Ancestor of the Bahuang Star Domain having fallen, it would be strange if they didn't take the opportunity to seize the Bahuang Star Domain!

"You, you, you!"

Watching Lu Tianyu sitting on the boat recovering, Bahuang Laozu felt his brain was about to short-circuit:

"Are you really without any cultivation base? Are you really not a soul-possessor?"

As a Void Refinement stage expert and also a soul-possessor, he knew very well that the soul power of a normal soul-possessing cultivator would not have such short durability.

However, he could not figure out at all how a cultivator with no cultivation base, who was not a soul-possessor, could possess soul power comparable to an Emperor Realm powerhouse.

He truly could not understand!

Furthermore, the great cauldron that imprisoned him was even more mysterious; he could not even understand the patterns upon it.

Especially that ancient and heavy aura on the cauldron, which made him feel palpitations.

Bahuang Laozu could guess that this great cauldron must also be a treasure obtained from the Forbidden Abyss.

He could imagine that Lu Tianyu must have obtained heaven-defying opportunities from the Forbidden Abyss.

Thinking of this, Bahuang Laozu was filled with regret.

Had he known this earlier, he would not have been in such a hurry to act.

He should have just summoned his Clone Realm body and controlled Lu Tianyu to possess him while Lu Tianyu was not paying attention.

Now it was too late; his soul had been placed under a Restriction, and even if he summoned his Clone Realm body, it was too late.

The kid before his eyes looked foolish, but in reality, he was full of schemes.

This kind of person is the most terrifying!

Bahuang Laozu dared not try anything, fearing that if he angered Lu Tianyu, a single thought would scatter his soul into oblivion.

Lu Tianyu had no time to pay attention to Bahuang Laozu, as he was putting all his effort into recovering his soul power.

Time returns to one hour ago.

Liu Qingyan fled in a panic from Donghuang Star, heading straight toward the direction of the Zhuoliu Xingyu.

Suddenly, she discovered a streak of light rapidly chasing from the direction of the Bahuang Star Domain.

Liu Qingyan was immediately shocked: "Oh no, someone is chasing me!"

She hurriedly pushed her Flying Spirit Artifact to its maximum speed, rushing outward like a bolt of lightning.

Just at this moment, the communication bead in her hand began to vibrate.

"Qingyan, I am Li Yuanhao from the South Desolate Star Territory; I see your Thousand Crane Spiritual Artifact, and I am right behind you."

"Stop for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing it was Li Yuanhao, Liu Qingyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and she hurriedly slowed her flight speed.

Li Yuanhao was one of her most obsessed pursuers; if he came at this time and could help her, she would no longer fear Lu Tianyu.

This place was still within the range of the Bahuang Star Domain; if Lu Tianyu wanted to hunt her down, he could completely use a Transmission Array to teleport to a planet and intercept her.
