Chapter 788: I Believe

"Back again."

Lu Yang inhaled and exhaled, calming his mind.

Just a moment ago, they were fighting to the death, and in the blink of an eye, time flowed backward, returning to the peaceful state of the past. This contrast was so great that Lu Yang felt like a lifetime had passed.

At the very least, it was peace on the surface.

From the perspective of time, at this moment, the two Heartless Sect elders had already poisoned the canal. The water splashing all over the streets actually contained the Forget-Love poison, but it hadn't fully volatilized yet.

For example, the restlessness of the insect cultivator's Insect King was because it had absorbed the Forget-Love poison.

Perhaps some children had already been poisoned, but the influence of children was too small, and no one had noticed.

"Fairy, are those two elders and the Vice Sect Master in Kaihuang City?"

The Immortal Fairy opened her spiritual sense to perceive: "Not here."

Lu Yang nodded. This result was within his expectations. If those two Heartless Sect elders were in Kaihuang City, they wouldn't have indulged him and Old Meng in acting throughout the city and only appeared after the acting was over.

At this time, they should be elsewhere.

A smile of realization curled at the corner of Lu Yang's mouth.

After finally finishing off two elders, the Vice Sect Master makes a move, showing off that you have many people, right?

"Old Meng, stop watching the competition for a moment. There are several great deeds of doing good and accumulating merit that need you to handle."

"What great deeds?" Meng Jingzhou couldn't figure out why Old Lu would say that so suddenly.

"You go to Huangshi Street now. On that street, there is a guy wearing a black cloak, who laughs strangely, and holds silver needles. You go and catch him, then turn a corner to the entrance of the commoner restaurant, there is a gorgeously dressed big-bellied monk... then cross a street, you can meet an old man who wants to self-destruct..."

Meng Jingzhou heard Lu Yang speaking with such detail, it didn't look like he was lying to him.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to call for people." Lu Yang dropped this sentence, wove through the crowd, returned to the Kaihuang Temple guest room, and collapsed.

Ask-Dao Sect, Mission Hall, Soul Lamp Room.

Lu Yang's soul lamp flickered on and off. Gu Junye hurriedly called Dai Bufan over.

Dai Bufan studied the pattern of the soul lamp's flickering and interpreted the message Lu Yang was conveying.

"Ask Patriarch Hanhai to open a passage from Kaihuang City back to the sect. Junior Brother Lu wants to come back for a trip?"

In the vast sea of sand, several people riding camels were particularly conspicuous in the desert.

"No!" Tang Chuanwu woke up abruptly, his eyes panicked.

"Little Tang, what's wrong?" The bearded middle-aged man noticed Tang Chuanwu's abnormality and signaled the team to stop.

"Back again." Tang Chuanwu muttered to himself, as if waking from a dream, covered in cold sweat. How many cycles was this? The sixth or seventh?

The impact of the end of the last cycle was too great for him. His mind was a mess now, and he needed to sort out the sequence of events.

They were all people from the Kaihuang City pharmacy. Now the pharmacy was short of stock, and they were on their way to Lotus City to purchase medicinal materials.

On the way to Lotus City, they encountered extremely rare sand wolves. This group of sand wolves was unusually cunning and quite dangerous. The leading wolf king was at the level of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

They had martial arts to rely on when they were out, and Tang Chuanwu's combat power was the highest among them all.

But even so, facing the wolf king's premeditated attack, they couldn't escape.

Tang Chuanwu used five cycles to fight wits and courage with the wolf king, but still couldn't defeat the wolf king, and the whole team would die under the wolf's mouth.

In the fifth cycle, under his careful planning, the wolf king fell into a trap set long ago, but who would have thought that the wolf king would break through to the terrifying Foundation Establishment stage at the critical moment, making all calculations a joke.

Tang Chuanwu was almost driven crazy. The wolf king was simply not an opponent he could deal with. It wasn't that he hadn't encountered cultivators as opponents before, but that was in the city, where he could stir up various contradictions and maneuver among them.

But this was the desert, with no village in front and no shop behind, and he couldn't find an opponent to match the wolf king at all!

In the sixth cycle, he finally couldn't bear this torture anymore, stopped saving the team, and rode a camel alone back to Kaihuang City to bring reinforcements. This way, he might be able to save one or two people.

But when he returned to Kaihuang City, he was greeted by a city full of heartless people. He couldn't find reinforcements at all, and the two masters were still maneuvering with the two elders of the Heartless Sect.

In his anxiety, he returned home to see how his sister was doing.

It was noon by then, and Cui Que'er had finished serving porridge and hadn't left the slum yet. A Jin Dan stage cultivator from somewhere took a fancy to Cui Que'er's beauty and took her away during the chaos. No matter how he shouted and resisted, it was useless.

He stumbled back home, only to find his sister looking at him expressionlessly, as if looking at a stranger. That look made his heart ache like a knife.

Afterward, the Heartless Sect Vice Sect Master made a move to move the entire Kaihuang City away.

He finally couldn't bear this torture anymore, committed suicide, and came to the seventh cycle.

Tang Chuanwu's heart was full of despair. Right now, there was an ambushing wolf king, in Kaihuang City there was a Jin Dan stage cultivator taking Cui Que'er away, and there was a demonic giant moving the whole city.

None of them were opponents he could handle!

What to do, what should he do?

"Little Tang?" The bearded middle-aged man muttered in his heart. Tang Chuanwu usually looked quite smart, what was going on today?

Tang Chuanwu originally thought that coming to Kaihuang City last time would solve the problem, but the experience of the last cycle told him that Kaihuang City was a more dangerous place than the desert!

Even if time could be traced back, so what? He couldn't save anyone; he could only save himself!

The experience of the last cycle kept emerging in his mind: the team that died under the wolf's mouth, the taken-away Cui Que'er, the cold-looking sister, the flying Kaihuang City...

"Ah—" Tang Chuanwu's heart was in chaos, he shouted to the sky, completely unable to think of a way.

Suddenly, a sentence Master Lu said to him after destroying the Skeleton Divine Sect flashed in his mind.

"We will stay in Kaihuang Temple for a while. If you encounter anything, you can come to me at any time."

The space passage closed, Lu Yang carried the Azure Sword and returned to the Kaihuang Temple guest room.

He put away the Azure Sword, left Kaihuang Temple, and prepared to meet Old Meng.

A figure was galloping on the street riding a camel.

Tang Chuanwu looked at Lu Yang, who was standing at the temple entrance a bit dazed, with eager eyes. Relieved, he fell off the camel with a thud.

He had the experience of the previous six cycles, crossed the wolf king, ran wildly all the way, and finally found Lu Yang, the only life-saving straw, before the Forget-Love poison completely broke out.

Lu Yang was quick-eyed and fast-handed, taking a step forward to support Tang Chuanwu who was about to fall to the ground.

Tang Chuanwu's eyes were desperate: "Master Lu, this city is in danger!"

"People from the Heartless Sect will come to Kaihuang City, everyone will become heartless. I don't know how they did it, but it must be the Heartless Sect's doing. You can beat the two people who appeared in front, but you and Master Meng cannot handle the last person who appeared."

"Master, you might not believe what I say, but everything I say is true, it's all true!"

Tang Chuanwu became more excited as he spoke, his emotions collapsed, his speech was incoherent, and he couldn't help crying. He really didn't know what to do, didn't know if Master Lu would believe his words, if there was a solution...

"I believe." ===== CHAPTER 789 =====
