Chapter 515: The Strategy of Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

"Damn it, Old Thief Bu Yu runs so fast!"

"It's because you guys acted too early. I said before, wait for him to leave the Congwendao Sect before acting! You guys are good—attacking as soon as he showed his head. If it were me, I'd run too!"

"No choice, I was too excited to see the enemy and couldn't hold back."

"Now tell me, what should we do?"

"There is a way, but I'm not sure if it will work."

"What way?"

"Don't forget, we are a marriage proposal team..."

Recalling the dense attacks just now, Daoist Bu Yu had lingering fears. If he had taken a round of that, it would be hard to say whether he would lose a layer of skin or his life.

"Those people in the Chamber of Commerce are the same—is this how you treat customers? I went to buy insurance and they wouldn't even sell it to me!"

Daoist Bu Yu was quite angry, feeling that those people in the Chamber of Commerce were not qualified businessmen; they wouldn't even earn money when it was offered. He wanted to buy the most expensive insurance.

"So this is the correct way to comprehend the Dao of the sword."

Lu Yang broke away from the state of epiphany, feeling that his understanding of the Dao of the sword had reached a new level. The Young Sect Master Lu who fought him to a draw three months ago was no longer his match!

He opened his eyes and saw Eldest Senior Sister bringing a stack of red festive envelopes and handing them to him.

"What is this?"

"Visiting cards from marriage proposal teams, hoping to enter the Congwendao Sect and discuss marriage with you in person."

Lu Yang picked up an invitation card at random; the source was none other than the first-grade sect, Bai Masi.

"..." Am I that popular?"

If Meng Jingzhou saw this, he would be so envious he'd bite his back teeth to pieces.

"You being popular is one reason, but the main reason is that they want to enter the sect to find Master."

"Master hasn't left yet?" Lu Yang was surprised; he thought that given Master's inability to sit still, he would have left after teaching him.

No, that's not right; he couldn't say he couldn't sit still. When the old man was in prison, he sat honestly until his sentence was served.

"He was going to leave, but he was blocked at the door."

It had to be said that Lu Yang didn't feel the slightest surprise that this kind of thing happened; instead, he felt it was only natural.

As far as he knew, Master's whereabouts were sold at a sky-high price on the black market, and it was in a state of being priceless. If there was the slightest bit of intelligence on his whereabouts, it would be bought up in the shortest time, which showed how popular Master was.

By the same token, the news of Master returning to the sect would naturally spread in the shortest time.

One must know that Master's enemies were all Body Integration stage cultivators, and each one flew terrifyingly fast. If someone were proficient in space magic, they would come even faster.

He now felt that comprehending the Dao of the sword might not necessarily be for the purpose of "protection".

Others didn't need protection; it was mainly to protect himself.

"Then what should we do now?"

Looking at this large stack of visiting cards, Lu Yang's head grew big. People were here to propose marriage; if they drove them away, the Congwendao Sect would be in the wrong.

"There are two plans." Eldest Senior Sister put down the invitation cards and analyzed.

"One is to reply to them as soon as possible, agreeing to let them enter the sect to find Master, and their goal will be achieved."

Lu Yang shook his head; this plan definitely wouldn't work.

"Then what about the second plan?"

"Hand Master over."

Lu Yang: "..."

The second plan was even worse than the first.

"Isn't Master proficient in the art of transformation? Can't he turn into someone else and slip out?"

Eldest Senior Sister shook her head and rejected this plan: "Bai Masi has brought out their temple-protecting treasure, the Demon-Revealing Mirror, which can see through all disguises."

"And even if it couldn't see through the disguise, if Master successfully slipped out, they wouldn't know about it and would still squat at the door to propose marriage to you."

"Let's just hand Master over."

Considering that handing over Daoist Bu Yu was a matter of great risk, the two first went to Pill Cauldron Peak to find the Seventh Elder.

"Junior Nephew Yun, Junior Nephew Lu?" The Seventh Elder was very surprised to see the two of them arrive; it was rare for the two of them to look for him at the same time.

"Is there something the matter?"

After all, it concerned Master, so he couldn't be too direct. Lu Yang organized his wording: "Suppose, I'm saying suppose, there is a very powerful Body Integration stage cultivator, but he has many enemies who are also Body Integration stage cultivators. This Body Integration stage cultivator is unlucky and is besieged by enemies—estimated to be fifty or sixty Body Integration stage cultivators."

"Is there any elixir that can let him survive under the siege of these people?"

Originally, Lu Yang didn't hold out much hope, but unexpectedly, the Seventh Elder actually nodded: "Legend has it that there is an ancient elixir called the 'Child-Sending Elixir'. Junior Nephew Lu, you have even seen this prescription."

"As long as you take the Child-Sending Elixir and make this unlucky Body Integration stage cultivator pregnant, out of humanitarian considerations, they shouldn't go for the kill when attacking."

"..." This Body Integration stage cultivator is a man. Is there any other way?"

"You can also pray that he keeps a complete corpse. After tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, the corpse might produce spiritual intelligence, which is equivalent to resurrection. However, this is a legend; who knows if the resurrected one is still him."

"Is there a more reliable plan?"

"There is. This Body Integration stage cultivator you speak of must have done all kinds of evil and be full of wickedness. Report him to the government and have him arrested. Although he loses his freedom, he can at least save his life."

Lu Yang and Eldest Senior Sister felt this was a good plan.

"Hey, you guys are here." Daoist Bu Yu found Lu Yang and Eldest Senior Sister in the alchemy room, and by the way, asked the Seventh Elder for several bottles of top-level healing elixirs.

"Just in time to tell you, I'm leaving."

Lu Yang was shocked. He hadn't made up his mind to kill his kin for righteousness and betray his master, and Master was leaving on his own?

"Aren't you afraid of those people at the door?"

"I definitely can't beat them, but I have other ways."

"What way?"

"I'll have Eldest Brother leave the Congwendao Sect and create a commotion in the neighboring province, making those people think I've already left the Congwendao Sect. They will swarm to the neighboring province, and I can take this opportunity to leave the sect."

Daoist Bu Yu laughed triumphantly. He had roamed the world for two thousand years; wanting to catch him was simply a daydream.

Things went exactly as Daoist Bu Yu had planned. As the eldest brother of the nine sons of the Congwendao Sect, the Eldest Senior Brother didn't do many things that made people hate him on weekdays. At the very least, there were no enemies among the marriage proposal teams this time.

The Eldest Senior Brother went to the neighboring province and impersonated Daoist Bu Yu to tell the latest chapter of "Legend of the Congwendao Sect—Meng Jingzhou Chapter", telling how Young Master Meng, despite having a family fortune of ten thousand gold, kept himself clean, focused on cultivation, and stayed away from women, even going so far as to curse himself, not even seeing a woman for a long time, which was highly admirable.

Learning that Old Thief Bu Yu was in the neighboring province, and considering Old Thief Bu Yu's art of concealment, the marriage proposal teams didn't doubt it and immediately set off for the neighboring province.

Daoist Bu Yu took this opportunity to successfully escape the Congwendao Sect.

After Master left, Lu Yang sighed slightly. He had thought of this method too; it could be called the safest method, but he wasn't willing to use it for Master.

He always felt that letting Master leave the Congwendao Sect safely didn't sit well with his conscience.

A few days later, an unexpected person found Lu Yang.

"Senior Brother Lu, can you accompany me out to do a mission?" Tao Yaoye invited with a grin.
