Chapter 448
:
Wu Youdao and the other two completely understood that the person in front of them was an opponent they could not defeat. Let alone defeating her, from the beginning of the battle until now, it was impossible to even hurt her.
The Supreme Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court Sect is terrifying to the extreme.
"Escape!"
The three had recognized the facts. Since they couldn't defeat her, they would run away and wait to make a comeback!
The movement speed of the physical body is far inferior to the movement speed of the soul. The three were all veterans of battle and made the most correct choice at the first moment—soul leaving the body, running away separately!
"Fortunately, the other party is only a thought of an Immortal and cannot pursue the three of us at the same time. Moreover, the power of national destiny is not easy to move. If she wants to pursue us, she must give up the power of national destiny. But if she gives up the power of national destiny, her power will decay, and even if she catches up, she won't be able to defeat us!"
The three rejoiced, turning into escape lights and running away.
The Decayed Fairy watched the three leave and withdrew her gaze.
When Governor Lu saw the battle end and rushed to the scene, only three corpses remained on the spot, as well as the ownerless power of national destiny.
Seeing this, he hurriedly used the Huangzhou Seal to take back the power of national destiny.
Qiu Jinan turned his head and cupped his hands: "Thank you for your help just now, fellow Daoist. I haven't had time to ask about your background?"
There was no one beside Qiu Jinan; the man in the white paper hat had already run away.
"That's a good escape technique. Did he leave, or did he run away?" Qiu Jinan narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself. He had some guesses about the moves the man in the white paper hat used during the battle.
It's just that since the person had helped, it wouldn't be good to turn against him on the spot.
Elder Gai and the others also rushed back to the Ganshi Sect. Seeing the Sect Master's remains, they wailed and cried, tears falling like rain.
"Sect Master, you died so miserably!"
"We will definitely avenge you!"
The disciples also had red eyes, crying into a piece. For a time, the entire Ganshi Sect was filled with a sad atmosphere.
Lu Yang and the others also rushed to the Ganshi Sect. Seeing the three Tribulation Transcendence stage corpses laid on the ground, and seeing the people of the Ganshi Sect crying until they were not human-like, they clenched their fists, their blue veins bulging.
Elder Gai, as the Great Elder, had to take on the responsibilities of the Sect Master since the Sect Master was not there. He turned around to comfort the sad crowd: "Old Lu was an optimistic and cheerful person during his lifetime. If he had a spirit in heaven, he wouldn't want to see you like this. Everyone smile; consider it sending him on his last journey."
"Old Lu, don't worry; we will definitely inherit your legacy and strengthen the Ganshi Sect!"
Elder Gai laughed in a low voice, mourning Lu Baqian.
"Old Gai, you bastard, I'm dead and you still let them laugh!"
Sect Master Lu's upper body stood up straight, glaring at Elder Gai.
This change caught everyone present off guard. Governor Lu was alert, thinking that Sect Master Lu had become a zombie, and used the power of national destiny again.
"Die my ass, don't think I don't know you're still alive!" Elder Gai laughed and scolded.
"What exactly is going on?" Governor Lu couldn't figure out the situation. Looking at Elder Gai's reaction, it seemed he was not surprised by Sect Master Lu's resurrection.
Sect Master Lu explained: "This must be the newly appointed Governor, right? This can be considered our first formal meeting. I am Lu Baqian, Sect Master of the Ganshi Sect."
Governor Lu returned the courtesy politely, still not figuring out what was going on.
"Governor Lu might not know, but our Ganshi Sect and the Congwendao Sect have always had a friendly relationship. Although there is the exception of the Unspoken Daoist, generally speaking, the relationship between our two sects is still very good."
"The Ganshi Sect has a tradition. In order to show a friendly relationship, the high-level officials of the Ganshi Sect will make two soul lamps, one left in the Ganshi Sect and one deposited in the Congwendao Sect, just to fear that something like today would happen."
Qiu Jinan nodded secretly. He had also heard of this matter, so he had never suspected that there was a problem with the high-level officials of the Ganshi Sect.
Friendly sects all have this habit. Their Wuxing Sect also has soul lamps of high-level officials from other sects.
Lu Baqian continued: "It's just that I didn't expect these ancient cultivators to have some means we hadn't mastered, which could take over my body without destroying my soul."
"After that person called Wu Ji took over me, he was worried that the Congwendao Sect would notice, so he didn't dare to destroy my soul, but only completely separated my soul and body and sealed my soul. That's how I luckily survived until now."
"At the same time, he couldn't get my memories, and frequent communication with Old Gai and the others would reveal flaws. After taking over me, he always claimed to be in seclusion to the outside world, and only appeared once when making the Soul-Driving and Soul-Scattering Talisman."
Sect Master Lu felt a lingering fear. If Venerable Wu Ji hadn't feared the Congwendao Sect, he would have really died.
"Then are you a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator now?" Governor Lu remembered another thing.
The Wushi Sect was destroyed in the conquest war at the beginning of the founding of Great Xia, leaving only an inheritance, which was obtained by the founder of the Corpse-Driving Sect.
The simple-looking cultivator rubbed his ring, and one by one, the sealed living corpses broke the seal, carrying the dust and death energy, spanning more than ten thousand years of history, and went to war with the descendants.
Four, eight, sixteen, twenty—a full twenty living corpses appeared, besieging Elder Gai and the others!
"Then let us elders see how much ability you juniors have learned."
A majestic figure stood above Hanshui City, directly above the Provincial Governor's residence.
This person walked like a tiger, as if he were a natural emperor, and every gesture revealed dominance and tyranny.
His presence was too strong, and everyone in Hanshui City couldn't help but look up at the sky, seeing the majestic man who could rival the sun, and a sense of panic inexplicably rose in their hearts.
"Prepared for so long, the plan was leaked in the end. Huang Ming and Meng Tian, these two wastes who fail more than they succeed!"
A murderous intent appeared in the eyes of the emperor-like figure. If he hadn't been unable to contact the two, he wouldn't have come out early.
A little later, a little later, when the activation conditions of the great array were completed, the plan would be seamless.
"Well, there is no perfect plan in the world."
"True Monarch Tianzai failed and fell in Qingzhou. It is said that there was a sudden expert who captured him."
"In these days, I have already investigated Hanshui City, and there is no one in the city who poses a threat to me."
"To be safe, I will set a rule here: within one day, no information can be transmitted out of Hanshui City."
Increasing the time limit can make the execution of the rule stronger.
Lu Yang looked up at the emperor-like figure flying in the sky, his head aching.
At the first moment the Decayed Fairy reminded him, he tried to call the Senior Sister, but unfortunately, it was a step too late. This place had been set with rules by the emperor figure, and the "Xiangxing Quan" (Image Boxing) could not borrow power from the Senior Sister, so the Senior Sister had no way of knowing the situation here.
"Logically speaking, aren't Tribulation Transcendence stage things very rare? How come I can run into them everywhere? The Provincial Governor said this place is the safest, why do I feel this place is the most dangerous?"
"Maybe it's because my status as a Young Sect Master is too high, and they are all rushing to see me."
"Hey, you said you're already a Young Sect Master, should I also get a position in the Heavenly Court Sect?"
"How about you be the lackey of the Young Sect Master?"
"Get out of here."
