Chapter 234: Trouble That Cannot Be Shirked!

"I am the Senior Sister, and I am leading the team this time. Don't forget what the Ancestor said before we set off."

The Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had spoken; one must follow Lu Tianyu.

The original words at the time were that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had sharp attacks and even sharper sword formations, but they lacked medicinal pills, so there would be no way to handle it if someone were injured.

Minor injuries were one thing, but if the injuries were slightly more serious, or if one were heavily wounded, there would be fatal danger in the Yaoshou Senlin.

The Yaoshou Senlin is filled with poisonous gas everywhere; a doctor who knows the art is extremely important.

The small Storage Ring was piled full of various medicinal herbs; hundred-year and thousand-year herbs were everywhere, stacked into several small mounds.

Ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year herbs were piled in the center; the quantity was not large, but it was not small either.

Even the Sword Heart Grass he was looking for was inside, and it was a hundred-thousand-year-old one at that.

The set of cultivation techniques given to him by the Tianjia Sect was the Five Elements Sword, and one of the most essential main ingredients for it was Sword Heart Grass.

The Tianjia Sect had helped him gather the other main ingredients, but they lacked the Sword Heart Grass.

Yet, Sword Heart Grass is the treasure of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, produced within the Jian Zhong, and the chance of it appearing is extremely, extremely small.

Sword Heart Grass is extremely difficult to cultivate, especially Sword Heart Grass over a thousand years old, let alone ten-thousand-year or hundred-thousand-year ones.

Every stalk of hundred-thousand-year Sword Heart Grass is a priceless treasure, used only by the Great Vehicle Stage Ancestors of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect; ordinary disciples never even get to see them.

There were ten-thousand-year Blood Ganoderma, ten-thousand-year Seven-Star Grass, ten-thousand-year Green Lotus Seeds, and ten-thousand-year Rhomboid Red Blood Flowers.

These are all holy medicines for healing.

From this, it is clear that the Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect truly spent a fortune to win him over with all his might.

Yet, these were things he could not refuse.

Haa!

Lu Tianyu took a deep breath, took the Storage Ring, and cupped his hands toward Murong Xue: "Many thanks for your Ancestor's gift."

"Rest assured, I will definitely keep you all safe!"

Just then, a disdainful sneer sounded from the side: "Keep people safe?"

"You have offended the Seven Stars Sect, the Huanhe Heavenly Sect, and the Dragon Leap Gate; he cannot even protect himself, yet he wants to keep others safe?"

Xiang Daxiong, dressed in a green robe, walked out with a sneer, glanced viciously at Lu Tianyu, and then looked at Murong Xue, changing to a smiling face:

"Xue'er, my Profound Dao Sect is conducting a joint operation with the Dragon Leap Gate; you should join our team instead."

"This brat has offended most of the Ten Great Sects; entering the Yaoshou Senlin will only lead to a dead end, and following him will only implicate you."

His gaze was as tender as water, as if he wanted to melt Murong Xue.

The Dragon Leap Gate and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had formed a marriage alliance, and Murong Xue was the object of his, Xiang Daxiong's, marriage alliance.

Now that Xiang Mingyu had been crippled, he had lost his competitor and would be the leader of the younger generation of the Profound Dao Sect in the future, with a high probability of taking the position of Sect Master of the Profound Dao Sect.

Murong Xue, however, waved her hand: "I accept Brother Xiang's kindness, but this is our Ancestor's arrangement, and we of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect must not disobey."

She refused tactfully.

She did not think highly of the marriage alliance with Xiang Daxiong and had always been relatively close to Yun Fenghua of the Heavenly Mystery Sect.

However, Yun Fenghua was dead, so she decided to stall, choosing to turn a blind eye to Xiang Daxiong's pursuit, letting Xiang Daxiong give up on his own.

Unfortunately, Xiang Daxiong was extremely resilient and seemed determined to marry her, which gave her a massive headache.

But she could not refuse him openly.

This marriage alliance represented the sect; if she refused, it would be disadvantageous to the sect.

The Profound Dao Sect is an extremely difficult sect to provoke, not to mention adding the Dragon Leap Gate to the mix.

"You!"

How could Xiang Daxiong give up: "Xue'er, you are my fiancée; no matter how you look at it, we should be together."

"The Yaoshou Senlin is extremely dangerous this time; he is completely unable to protect your safety, and this person is treacherous and cunning. Only I am sincere toward you."

"It is settled then; I will follow behind you to protect you!"

Murong Xue's expression immediately became very ugly.

This sticky candy is truly hard to get rid of; he clings to people and won't let go. There is no way around it.

The corners of Lu Tianyu's mouth curled up slightly: "It's a good thing for a sycophant to keep chasing; I crippled his younger brother, so it's understandable that the older brother wants to learn from his brother and become a cripple too."

He reached out his hand: "Xiang Daxiong, if you don't want to become a cripple, hand over your Storage Rings, and I guarantee I won't cripple you."

"You!" Xiang Daxiong's eyes were about to split, "Brat, I didn't know you were a Body Refining practitioner, which is why I suffered a loss."

"If you and I were to compete again, who would win and who would lose is still unknown."

"The entire Changheng Star Domain knows that Xue'er is in a marriage alliance with me; if you want to snatch my wife, the entire Changheng Star Domain will despise you!"

"You walk your path; I am following my wife, what does it have to do with you?"

He has a trump card given by his sect and believes that in a life-or-death struggle, he will definitely kill Lu Tianyu.

This time, with the support of the Dragon Leap Gate, he decided to follow Lu Tianyu and his group; once they enter, he will make his move, killing Lu Tianyu first.

In his eyes, there are no experts in Lu Tianyu's team, and they are not united, so killing Lu Tianyu is not difficult.

"Hahaha!"

Lu Tianyu laughed loudly, "Following your wife?"

"People have already spoken to this extent, yet you still don't understand that she doesn't think much of you, and you are still shamelessly groveling; aren't you ashamed of losing face for the Profound Dao Sect!"

"If you are willing to grovel, then grovel; show your sincerity, hand over all your Storage Rings, only then can you show your sincerity."

Xiang Daxiong was so angry he almost jumped up: "You are jumping around happily now, but you'll see what's coming to you later!"

If it weren't for the Restriction against fighting here, he would have already made his move.

Just then, the Senior Brother of the Dragon Leap Gate, Long Ba, who had been rejected when trying to win over Lu Tianyu, stood out: "Since Daxiong wants to be a protector of the flowers, our Dragon Leap Gate should assist Daxiong."

He stared at Lu Tianyu with a cold, piercing gaze: "Brat, you refused to join my Dragon Leap Gate; you should be regretting it now, right?"

"You still have one more chance; kneel down and apologize to me in submission!"

"Otherwise, the moment you enter the Yaoshou Senlin will be the time you lose your head."

Long Ba meant that as soon as we follow you into the Yaoshou Senlin, we will immediately take action against you.

Lu Tianyu sneered: "You people dare to threaten me? Mere rabble daring to chase after a tiger; you overestimate yourselves!"

"If you are willing to be the dogs of a sycophant, no one is stopping you, I just hope you can still bark later!"

He knew that the combined power of the Dragon Leap Gate and the Profound Dao Sect could not be underestimated, but he was completely unafraid.

Long Ba was furious upon hearing this: "Brat, later I will tear your mouth apart first, and then let my spirit beast eat you!"

"I hope your mouth is still this tough when that time comes!"

After speaking, he turned his head away to look elsewhere.

Murong Xue said embarrassedly: "Young Master Lu, I am sorry, I have caused you trouble."

Lu Tianyu waved his hand: "It is no matter! Since we are traveling together, I will naturally protect your safety."

"After this time, your arranged marriage will no longer exist, and you will not need to worry about being pestered anymore."
