Chapter 417

~8 min read 1,516 words

hi, Account: Popular: Night:

It was not the first time Lu Yang had heard the reputation of the Nine Sons of the Wendao Sect. This title meant that the identity of a Wendao Sect disciple was a double-edged sword; when encountering weaker opponents, such as those in the Spirit Transformation or Void Refinement stages, it could bluff them.

But if the opponent was a powerful Integration stage expert who also held a position in a major power, then it could basically be determined that the opponent had a karmic entanglement with the Nine Sons of the Wendao Sect, and there was an 80% chance they were enemies.

If one went to the Imperial Capital, that 80% chance would likely become 100%.

When Meng Jingzhou returned to the Imperial Capital, he at least had the Meng family to back him up, so he should be safe.

Looking at himself, his master was Daoist Daoist Bu Yu, and his good brother was Meng Jingzhou. With these two identities added, what was the difference between going to the Imperial Capital and going to the gates of hell?

As the center of the Central Continent, the place where the Great Xia Dynasty had accumulated 100,000 years of history, and the most powerful cultivation city in the world, it wasn't just people from the Central Continent who wanted to go to the Imperial Capital to admire the scenery; the Demon Domain, the Golden Buddhist Kingdom, and the Sea Clan all wanted to head to the Imperial Capital.

Only Lu Yang did not want to go.

Lu Yang seemed to remember something, counting on his fingers: "How come I feel like I have so many enemies? I know the dark history of the Four Ancient Immortals, so they definitely won't spare me. My master makes enemies everywhere, and it all gets counted on my head. Put that way, do all the great powers, past and present, have a grudge against me?!"

"That shouldn't be right. I joined the strongest sect in the world, became the sect master's youngest disciple, and have the strongest ancient immortal inside me. Shouldn't this be 'kill gods if gods block, kill buddhas if buddhas block,' embracing beauties on both sides, and enjoying the blessings of a harem? How come in the end, all I bring is negative influence?"

Lu Yang was glad that his fate was tough enough to withstand so many dangers.

"After being grounded, Master sealed my and Shan Ren's magic power. We were locked in two separate confinement rooms and could only see each other through the small iron window on the wall."

"We sat and discussed the Dao in the confinement room; I explained the principles of curse arts, and he explained the quotations of the sages. We promoted each other and improved together."

Lu Yang thought to himself, are you two really not just talking about your own things?

Valley Master Shuang's tone softened. Lu Yang knew the principle that disaster comes from the mouth, so he did not invite trouble for himself.

Speaking to the end, Valley Master Shuang sighed leisurely: "In the end, Shan Ren did not accept my love. After I reached the Integration stage, I went into seclusion to study a curse that would make Shan Ren fall in love with me wholeheartedly, but it's a pity that Shan Ren never came to see me."

Lu Yang shivered. He had long heard that reading too many sage books could help one avoid harm and seek profit; this saying was truly correct.

"Fine, I can be considered to have a connection with your Wendao Sect, so I will help you with this favor."

Before Lu Yang could be happy for Meng Jingzhou, he heard Valley Master Shuang continue: "However, judging from the situation described in the letter, your companion's curse is of a very high level, exceeding my range of treatment. Moreover, this belongs to karmic backlash, not entirely a curse art."

"Then should we go find someone else to help?"

"No need for now. Since you've come to my Seven Emotions Valley, I can't let you leave without us doing anything. If this were to spread, how could my Seven Emotions Valley claim to be good at curse arts? Although I cannot break the curse, I can still resolve a portion of it."

"For example?"

"For example, I can change your companion's curse from 'unable to touch women' to 'any woman he touches will loathe him'."

Lu Yang: "..."

How come it feels even worse?

"How about it? Do you want me to do this?"

"I'll ask for his opinion first." Lu Yang was not Meng Jingzhou and could not make decisions for him.

"That makes sense. Then I will go ask him myself."

Lu Yang showed a hesitant expression, prompting Valley Master Shuang to ask: "What's wrong?"

"Old Meng's curse is that he cannot get close to any woman, Valley Master, you..."

Valley Master Shuang smiled: "I thought it was something else. Although he is cursed, as a top-tier curse master, I am immune to all curses. His curse cannot affect me. Let's go together."

Valley Master Shuang let Luo Yu and Zhao Po stay where they were, and she and Lu Yang went and returned quickly.

Valley Master Shuang took Lu Yang and flew out of the Seven Emotions Valley, following the direction Lu Yang said to find Meng Jingzhou.

The two arrived at Meng Jingzhou's location and found that Meng Jingzhou and Old Ma had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a circle on the ground.

"What is this circle?" Valley Master Shuang was puzzled.

"I drew it. I was afraid Old Meng would run around, so I drew a circle on the spot and told him not to leave the range of this circle. I don't know where he went now."

Valley Master Shuang knew a little about karmic arts. She pinched her fingers to calculate and pointed in a direction, saying: "He should be in that direction. Let's go find him."

The two searched for Meng Jingzhou again, flying for a long time along the calculated direction, but they didn't even see Meng Jingzhou's shadow.

"Strange, at my flying speed, I should have been able to catch up with him quickly."

Valley Master Shuang pinched her fingers to calculate again and came up with another result: "So that's how it is. He changed direction halfway. He's over here."

"Let's go."

The two followed the calculation result, continued to fly quickly, and searched for Meng Jingzhou repeatedly, but they never succeeded.

Just as Valley Master Shuang was about to continue calculating Meng Jingzhou's location, Lu Yang had an understanding expression: "How about you calculate a location, and I'll go find Old Meng myself?"

If they kept chasing, they would be out of the Huang Province.

Valley Master Shuang was a little embarrassed: "That's fine too. He is in the west."

Lu Yang went to the west alone and met Meng Jingzhou, who was paralyzed on the ground, in a desolate mountain forest, as well as Old Ma, who was leisurely drinking spring water nearby.

"Are you okay?"

Meng Jingzhou said weakly: "Do I look like I'm okay?"

He said angrily: "I don't know what happened just now. A tornado appeared, and I happened to be right in the middle. The tornado picked me up and I flew, and Old Ma just followed behind unhurriedly!"

"After the tornado stopped, an out-of-control living corpse appeared and chased me. I saw that the living corpse's cultivation was too high before death, so I definitely couldn't beat it, so I ran for my life. I was almost exhausted to death. Fortunately, my spiritual power was abundant, and I exhausted the living corpse's power. Old Ma just watched and didn't help!"

"I hadn't even caught my breath and was glad I wasn't caught by the living corpse, when I don't know what happened to my body's spiritual power. Maybe it was running too fast, and something went wrong. My body ran out of control. I don't know how long I ran before the rampaging spiritual energy stopped."

"I didn't even have the time to eat a Great Returning Pill when I saw two Spirit Transformation stage cultivators fighting above my head. Their fighting range was too large, and it was easy to affect me. Fortunately, I am a body cultivator, so I run fast without spiritual power, so I continued to run west until I reached here, and only then did I have a chance to catch my breath. Then you came over."

"I'm really unlucky... By the way, I ran so far, how did you find me?"

Lu Yang was embarrassed to say that it was because Valley Master Shuang had been chasing behind him, so he changed the subject.

"I found a helper in the Seven Emotions Valley who can alleviate your curse to a certain extent."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you like women looking at you with a look of disgust?"

This is a masterpiece that is soul-stirring and gripping, presented with all one's talent.
