Chapter 39: Accidentally Achieving the Feat of Playing the Demon Emperor!

Seeing Lu Yun reappear, Dijiang and Xizi were even more astonished.

Because according to the situation they had just witnessed, shouldn't this human have been snatched away by Di Jun, and Houtu have gone mad because of it? What was this situation? Dijiang's heart stirred, and he looked at Houtu and asked, "Little sister, could it be that you anticipated Di Jun's actions and hid this human in the ground in advance?"

Houtu shook her head and said, "I did not anticipate Di Jun's schemes; it was just that I sensed Lu Yun suddenly use the Earth Escaping Technique to enter the earth after his Tribulation Transcendence Stage, so I immediately used my Supernatural Power to help him conceal his aura."

Xizi asked, "Then what was it that was just snatched away by Di Jun?"

Houtu said, "It was a Puppet of Lu Yun's, which he combined with a Bewitching Divine Ability to transform into his own appearance."

Hearing this, Dijiang and Xizi both felt astonished once again.

Because looking at it this way, it seemed as if this human had anticipated in advance that someone would come to snatch him! Xizi could not help but look at Lu Yun and exclaimed in admiration, "This human truly has some ability, to actually be able to anticipate that feathered bird's actions in advance!"

Dijiang laughed and said, "It was also because little sister and that human cooperated well!"

Originally, with Lu Yun's strength, even if he escaped into the ground, it would have been impossible to avoid the detection of an expert like Di Jun.

The substitute he transformed using a Puppet could not have escaped Di Jun's perception either.

But Di Jun had never expected that Lu Yun would do such things.

Moreover, because Di Jun was worried that Dijiang and the others would discover something was wrong and rush over, and because he was too confident in his own plan, while the cooperation between Houtu and Lu Yun was truly too tacit, it resulted in the dignified Demon Emperor Di Jun being played by a mere human who had just become an immortal in his haste!

Thinking of this, Dijiang could not help but laugh heartily and said, "That feathered bird Di Jun let a few Demon Saints and the feathered bird Taiyi cooperate to lure us away, and carried out a sneak attack himself, only to end up snatching a substitute! I wonder what his expression will be when he finds out about this?"

Xizi could not help but be amused: "We must definitely use this matter to mock him well in the future! Hahaha..."

On the other side, after hearing the exchange between the several Ancestral Witches, Lu Yun finally understood what had just happened.

For a moment, he was indeed somewhat dumbfounded.

Because he never imagined that he, a mere human who had just become an immortal, would actually attract the Demon Emperor Di Jun himself!

Moreover, the other party had been so calculating just to snatch him! Not only did he have Donghuang Taiyi cooperate with the Demon Saints under his command to lure away the Ancestral Witches like Dijiang, he even personally launched a sneak attack! Yet, he was unexpectedly played by him by sheer coincidence! Heaven have mercy, Lu Yun had never thought that such a thing would happen.

Just now, after he successfully passed his tribulation, he purely felt that his injuries were not light, and thinking of his previous deductions, he was worried that he might suffer an attack next.

So he subconsciously left his nearly scrapped Battle Puppet in place, and even attached a "Phantom Avatar Talisman" he had obtained previously, making it look exactly like him, while he himself escaped into the ground to hide.

As a result, after Houtu sensed him escaping into the ground, she directly used her Supernatural Power to help him conceal his aura.

This allowed Lu Yun to accidentally achieve the feat of playing the Demon Emperor!

Not to mention, although this matter was an accident, Lu Yun felt it was quite satisfying to think about!

After all, besides himself, who else in the entire Great Desolation could play a Quasi-Saint expert just after becoming an immortal? It was just that, while secretly pleased, Lu Yun could not help but feel helpless in his heart: the Heavenly Condemnation Halo is simply too terrifying!

Without a doubt, the fact that a Great Desolation big shot like Di Jun would notice a small character like him was absolutely the effect caused by the Heavenly Condemnation Halo! And now, whether Lu Yun was intentional or unintentional, the fact that he had offended Di Jun had become reality.

Next, the Demon Race would definitely go crazy looking for trouble with him! However, Lu Yun could do nothing about this and could only choose to accept it.

It just so happened that he had originally planned to work hard to complete the few tasks triggered by Qiu Wanli, and sooner or later he would have to collide with the Demon Race head-on, so now he would just treat it as laying the groundwork in advance! But also because he knew he had offended the high-level members of the Demon Race, Lu Yun felt that he needed to get on good terms with the Twelve Ancestral Witches even more urgently! Before he grew up, he still needed to borrow the power of the Wu Clan to confront the Demon Race!

It just so happened that the task triggered earlier to conquer the Twelve Ancestral Witches with culinary skills was also time to be completed!

Thinking of this, Lu Yun immediately calmed his mood and hurried to the front of Houtu, Dijiang, and Xizi.

He cupped his hands in a salute to the three of them and said solemnly, "For this tribulation, I have troubled all of you from the Wu Clan to look after me. Lu Yun thanks you!"

Dijiang laughed and said, "No need to be polite, we should be thanking you for venting our anger and teaching those feathered birds of the Demon Race a lesson!"

Lu Yun said, "I just did it by coincidence. For the great kindness of the few Wu Clan seniors, Lu Yun has nothing to repay you with, so why not let me make some food for everyone to express my gratitude?"

Dijiang and Xizi had originally intended to leave, but upon hearing Lu Yun's words, they both became interested at once.

Xizi asked, "Does a human like you know how to make other things as delicious as roasted meat?"

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Roasted meat is just very ordinary food; I know how to make quite a few things even more delicious than roasted meat!"

At this, Houtu, Dijiang, and Xizi all had their eyes light up.

Before they could reply, a hearty voice suddenly came from afar: "That would be truly great! We just had a fight and are feeling hungry right now!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison and discovered that it was Zhurong and the others returning.

Not only did Zhurong, Xuanming, and Jumang return together, but the clansmen of the Houtu Ancestral Court were also following along, and they were even carrying quite a few Demon beast corpses!

In order to carry the huge Demon beast corpses that had turned back into their original forms after death, many of the Wu Clan had manifested their Dharma forms, with bodies like mountains of various sizes, flying and running rapidly from afar toward this side, looking very spectacular.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yun's eyes could not help but brighten.

Now, even the ingredients were available!

Soon, Zhurong and the others arrived beside Lu Yun and the others, looking at Lu Yun impatiently, waiting for him to show his skills.

Lu Yun looked left and right, but suddenly felt somewhat troubled, saying, "Delicacies require some preparation; this place has seen successive great battles and is truly not suitable for cooking."

Houtu looked around and also nodded, saying, "That is indeed the case!"

She wanted to suggest heading to the Houtu Ancestral Court, but before she could speak, Lu Yun suddenly said, "I wonder if you of the Wu Clan recognize any Human Tribe nearby?"

Houtu nodded and said, "Naturally, I do!"

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Then why don't we go there together, and I will show everyone my skills there?"

Houtu, Dijiang, and the others looked at each other and soon nodded happily: "That would be excellent!"

Immediately, under Houtu's lead, they quickly headed toward the nearest Human Tribe in the vicinity!
