Chapter 718

Yun Zhi held the note left behind by Huang Dou Dou, lost in thought.

"The Gray Fairy kills those in the know so frequently, yet she has never once laid a hand on Senior Ao Ling or my Junior Brother."

"Senior Ao Ling is easy to explain; when the Gray Fairy tried to kill her in the Salary Fire Dynasty, the Dragon Pattern Bracelet blocked many of her attacks. Now that the Dragon Pattern Bracelet has sufficient energy and the ability to traverse space, the Gray Fairy knows that both ambushing or trapping Senior Ao Ling would be extremely difficult."

"But why has she never laid a hand on my Junior Brother?"

"Could it be that she knows if she were to lay a hand on him, the one who would end up unlucky would be her?"

Yun Zhi pondered for a while and dismissed this thought; if the Gray Fairy had known Junior Brother was so dangerous, she wouldn't have attacked him at the Sword Tower.

"Is it because she inherited the luck of the Immortal Fairy and instinctively avoids the worst options?"

"Back at the Sword Tower, if the Gray Fairy had decided to deal with Junior Brother first and the Ying Tian Corpse later, she would have been the one to suffer."

"That's it. She was originally the Immortal Fairy, so possessing the Immortal Fairy's luck is the most normal thing in the world."

To verify her hypothesis, Yun Zhi opened a secret small world next to the fourth death row prisoner and hid within it.

Logically, Huang Dou Dou should not have been able to sense Yun Zhi, yet while Yun Zhi was hidden in the small world, Huang Dou Dou never made a move. It was only after Yun Zhi left the small world and went very far away that Huang Dou Dou finally killed the prisoner.

"It really is a matter of luck."

"It seems that to deal with the Gray Fairy, one can only rely on luck stronger than her own."

Yun Zhi stopped pestering Huang Dou Dou and left the small hill.

The world only knows that the power of the sun has increased, but very few know the reason why.

And the Yaoyang Sect belongs to that "very few" category.

"The sun's power has surged; it must be that one of the seals has been broken!" The high-level members of the Yaoyang Sect were all excited. What did this mean? It meant that their recent development of the solar energy industry had implicitly received the sun's approval!

Admittedly, a master had indeed broken one of the sun's seals, but then again, why wasn't the seal broken at any other time, but specifically when the solar energy industry was developing in full swing?

There are no coincidences in the world; there is a will of heaven in the dark.

"This is a divine revelation! The sun is telling us to strive to develop the solar energy industry!"

Although their inspection in the Imperial City did not go smoothly and they nearly faced life-threatening danger, under Mu Baiyi's persuasion, the two sects reached a consensus and agreed to use the Imperial City as a starting point to produce solar energy products.

Now they have produced solar lamps, solar water heaters, and other products, which are widely acclaimed.

"Speaking of which, the smooth promotion of solar lamps is really thanks to someone inexplicably buying up a large batch of candles, leading to a shortage of candles on the market, which made many commoners buy our solar products with a 'let's try it out' mentality," a high-level member of the Yaoyang Sect sighed, feeling that this path was the right one.

In the past, they spent every day thinking about ascending to the sun, which was full of difficulties and burned countless people to death. Now that they are developing the solar energy industry, everything has changed for the better.

"Moreover, the Jiuyou Sect is also quite attentive to our cooperation and is thinking of ways to promote our products," Sect Master Chi said, feeling that Mu Baiyi and Shi Huagu in particular were admirable, as the two of them studied marketing methods day and night, such as using dream bubbles to advertise, and their actions were extremely swift.

The two great demonic sects cooperating sincerely—this was something one wouldn't have dared to imagine in the past.

'Breaking the sun's seal—could it be that the Ancient Heavenly Court did it?' Sect Master Chi suddenly had such a thought.

Although there was no evidence, he just suddenly had this feeling.

Sect Master Chi often felt fortunate that he had defected to the Ancient Heavenly Court early on; with the help of the Ancient Heavenly Court, his voice in the Yaoyang Sect grew stronger by the day.

Now that the sun has broken its first seal, the strength of all the Yaoyang Sect members has greatly increased, and he even feels he can attempt to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, become a true powerhouse, and no longer worry about his life.

"Are you the Eldest Senior Sister's fellow villager?" Third Senior Sister Gan Tian circled Yun Mengmeng with great interest. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and she couldn't see anything, yet she kept acting as if she were examining Yun Mengmeng.

She had gone out to seek inspiration for her music and had just returned today, only to find that a newcomer had arrived at Tianmen Peak.

Upon asking, she learned that it was actually the Eldest Senior Sister's fellow villager.

The Eldest Senior Sister rarely mentioned things about her hometown, and Gan Tian only knew that the Eldest Senior Sister was born in a secret realm and was brought out by their Master; beyond that, she knew nothing.

"Tell me quickly, where is the Eldest Senior Sister's hometown, and what is it like?" When it came to matters concerning the Eldest Senior Sister, Gan Tian was not at all as calm as when she played the zither.

Lu Yang just watched from the side without stopping her; he was also quite curious about the Eldest Senior Sister.

Oh, except for her dark history.

Yun Mengmeng shook her head vigorously and shut her itching mouth. Xiao Zhi had warned her not to talk about the secret realm, especially not to the Big Boss or the Second Boss.

"Sister Mengmeng, just tell us," Lu Yang asked using a soft approach, which made Yun Mengmeng quite tempted.

Fortunately, her willpower was firm, and she simply wouldn't say, leaving Lu Yang and Gan Tian quite discouraged.

"Little Lu, I heard something happened at the Sword Tower. Are you alright?" Suddenly, a concerned voice that hadn't been heard for a long time came, making both Lu Yang and Gan Tian freeze.

Master is back!

It must have been two years since they last saw Master, right?

Previously, Daoist Daoist Bu Yu was far away in the Demon Domain. When he heard about the Sword Tower and that Lu Yang had held off the Ying Tian Immortal until the two immortals fought, and then fell into a coma, he immediately rushed back.

He was already at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and his cultivation was no longer what it used to be. Many people couldn't find him even if they wanted to, and his flight back had been quite smooth.

Clan Leader Jin was no longer by Daoist Daoist Bu Yu's side. With the popularization of solar lamps, the candles hoarded by the Qiongqi Clan had become useless and could only be sold at a loss, costing them a lot of money.

To make up for the losses, Clan Leader Jin had to temporarily give up following Daoist Daoist Bu Yu to learn and hurriedly rushed back to the Qiongqi Clan to find a solution.

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu was on the mountainside of Tianmen Peak. Before he even saw Lu Yang, he could sense Lu Yang jumping around on the summit, and he let out a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright, Little Lu."

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu arrived at the summit. Before he could say a second sentence, he saw a fierce attack coming his way, scaring him into dodging in a hurry.

"You're the one who took Xiao Zhi away back then, and you still dare to show your face!" Yun Mengmeng got angry the moment she saw Daoist Daoist Bu Yu and pounced on him with a howl.

If it weren't for Daoist Daoist Bu Yu appearing and telling Xiao Zhi how good the outside world was, Xiao Zhi wouldn't have left the secret realm, which led to her being separated from Xiao Zhi for hundreds of years.

Bad peach!

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu was a bit confused and couldn't figure out the situation; how could he be ambushed even after returning to his own territory?

Who had the ability to ambush him at Tianmen Peak?
