Chapter 704

Could what the Senior Sister said be false?

"Of course I believe Little Junior Brother Lu committed suicide," Dai Dai Bufan said with a forced smile, his legs trembling; he had never felt death so close.

This looked for all the world like the Senior Sister had accidentally killed Little Junior Brother Lu and was trying to destroy the evidence, and he had been blind enough to run over and show concern for Lu Yang.

Had he lived enough? In this situation, he couldn't even protect himself!

This immortal peach was indeed not so easy to take; he had taken the peach and owed Little Junior Brother Lu a favor, and now he would have to pay for it with his life. Was this what they called a karmic destiny?

"Then, Senior Sister, please continue with your work; call me if you need anything."

Dai Dai Bufan retreated quietly, and taking advantage of Miss Yun Zhi not paying attention, he scrambled to fly away with all his might, not daring to look back.

"Wait, come back."

How could Miss Yun Zhi let Dai Dai Bufan escape? If she didn't explain clearly now, there would be no chance to explain it later.

Miss Yun Zhi had a thought and pulled Dai Dai Bufan directly back, even returning him to the original path.

"Senior Sister, spare my life! I really didn't see anything!" Seeing that things were going poorly, Dai Dai Bufan immediately knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Miss Yun Zhi held her forehead and explained helplessly: "Little Junior Brother really isn't dead; he is currently in a feigned death state, but he feigned it too well and even fooled the Soul Lamp."

Dai Dai Bufan had never heard of such a spell, but now that he was the fish and she was the knife, he believed whatever Miss Yun Zhi said.

The Immortal Fairy had sensed Dai Dai Bufan's arrival long ago, and on the principle that she couldn't let outsiders know about her, she had hidden to the side at the first opportunity.

Originally, Miss Yun Zhi could also have sensed Dai Dai Bufan's arrival, but at that time she was struggling with whether or not to burn Little Junior Brother, and she had been distracted for a moment.

If she had known Junior Brother Dai was coming, she would definitely have hidden Little Junior Brother's corpse... why does it still feel like something isn't right?

Miss Yun Zhi was puzzled; it seemed that no matter how she did this, it was wrong.

When Miss Yun Zhi approached Lu Yang holding the golden flame, before the flame could even touch him, Lu Yang suddenly "resurrected" and jumped up with a loud cry.

The Soul Lamp in Dai Dai Bufan's hand flickered back to life.

"It really was feigned death?!"

Dai Dai Bufan was greatly astonished; he hadn't expected such a magical spell to exist, one that could even fool the Soul Lamp. Was it an ancient lost spell, or a spell created by the Senior Sister?

Dai Dai Bufan quietly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he didn't have to die.

"Little Junior Brother Lu, are you alright?"

Lu Yang was grimacing in pain; he had been sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his soul, which had burned him awake.

After he woke up, that burning sensation disappeared.

"I'm, I'm fine. Junior Brother Dai, why are you here?"

Dai Dai Bufan thought to himself, I came to be your burial companion.

"Are you really alright? Why don't you look at what you look like right now?" Dai Dai Bufan looked Lu Yang up and down, his face showing a strange expression.

"What do I look like?" Lu Yang was puzzled, not understanding what Junior Brother Dai meant. He looked down and discovered that his corpse was lying quietly on the ground, while he was out of his body!

If Junior Brother Dai hadn't been there, Lu Yang would have wanted to ask the Immortal Fairy what was going on.

"Minor problem, I'm really fine." Lu Yang waved his hand to indicate that everything was under control.

Seeing that Lu Yang had no major issues, Dai Dai Bufan left suspiciously.

After Dai Dai Bufan left, Lu Yang leaned back, attempting to merge with his physical body.

Unfortunately, he failed; after he stood up, he was still in a state of being out of his body.

"Fairy, come out and explain what's going on?"

The Immortal Fairy emerged from behind a large tree and praised Lu Yang's talent for spells: "Little Yangzi, you've learned the basics!"

Lu Yang pointed at his soul, then pointed at the corpse on the ground: "Are you sure this is called learning the basics?"

"Of course. What is the 'Feigning Death Technique'? It's a technique to deceive the heavens. To deceive heaven and earth, you must first deceive yourself."

"Your physical body is now in a deceived state, becoming a corpse!"

"If you don't believe me, let Yun girl try the 'Corpse Driving Technique'; I guarantee she can drive your corpse."

Lu Yang didn't dare say he didn't believe her.

"In your current state, you could even commit insurance fraud; you'd definitely make a lot of money."

"So your current state isn't called 'out of body'; it should be called a 'wandering ghost'," the Immortal Fairy corrected Lu Yang's mistaken understanding, using very accurate terminology.

"Your learning progress is much faster than Little Ling and Jiang Lianyi's. When they first learned it, what they learned wasn't called the 'Feigning Death Technique'; it should have been called the 'Feigning Sleep Technique.' They couldn't feign death, so they just feigned it hard, making it so obvious I could tell they were feigning sleep."

The Senior Sister, who was observing Lu Yang from the side, nodded slightly: "So that's it. Feigning death fooled the Soul Lamp, fooled Dai Dai Bufan, and even fooled his own physical body. It seems Little Junior Brother, you can even fool Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators."

The Senior Sister could see that when Lu Yang performed the Feigning Death Technique, there was still a faint trace of vitality in his soul; even Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators couldn't see through that level of vitality.

"Fairy, don't praise me yet. Tell me how I should return to my original state," Lu Yang asked calmly, not letting the Immortal Fairy's praise go to his head.

"Simple, just possess yourself."

"Possess?"

Lu Yang was just about to ask who he was supposed to possess when he looked down and saw his corpse lying quietly on the ground.

"Of course, you possess yourself."

The Immortal Fairy circled around Lu Yang's corpse, her tone as enthusiastic as if she were pushing a slow-moving product: "Look at how perfectly your soul and your physical body fit; they are a match made in heaven. Possessing your own body will have absolutely no sense of rejection!"

Lu Yang: "..."

I admit what you say makes sense, Fairy, but could you please stop talking.

Although Lu Yang hadn't systematically learned how to possess, as the unlucky fellow who was often possessed by the Immortal Fairy, he had learned it after experiencing it twice.

He circulated his profound arts, merged with his physical body, and successfully possessed himself.

The Immortal Fairy put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "Hmph, now you know why I'm so proficient at possessing you? It's all from when I was developing the Feigning Death Technique!"

Lu Yang wasn't very clear on what the Fairy was proud of.

"Is the Feigning Death Technique performed like this?" the Senior Sister said softly, attempting to circulate her profound arts, sitting on the Imperial Chair with no vitality left.

Just at this moment, a spatial gate opened, and Hanhai Daotian ran over in a hurry holding a Soul Lamp to check the situation.

"Miss Yun Zhi, what happened?"

As soon as he arrived, he saw Miss Yun Zhi sitting on the Imperial Chair, her vitality dissipated, unable to detect even the slightest trace of life.

Seeing this, Hanhai Daotian breathed a sigh of relief instead: "So it's feigned death."

Lu Yang, who was to the side, was puzzled: "Grandmaster, you also know the Feigning Death Technique?"

Hanhai Daotian was confused: "What Feigning Death Technique?"

"Then how did you know she was feigning death?"

Hanhai Daotian rolled his eyes: "There isn't a single external wound on her entire body, she hasn't been through a fight, and it doesn't look like her cultivation technique went awry. If she isn't feigning death, could it be that you killed her, you brat?"
