“Little girl, there’s no need to fight to the death.”

Just as Chen Yao was about to pour all her life force into the Skywave Sword, prepared to perish together with the Huanxi Elder, Lu Changsheng’s voice sounded in her ear.

Chen Yao was first stunned, then overjoyed!

Lu Changsheng was Lin Qingzhi’s master and an elder of the Dao Palace from Mount Shu; since he had arrived, what could the Joyous Union Sect’s Huanxi Elder amount to?

The dazzling brilliance of the Skywave Sword gradually dimmed, and Chen Yao also ended her Unity of Person and Sword state, landing beside Lin Qingzhi.

With just a glance exchanged between them, Chen Yao knew Lin Qingzhi had also received a transmission from Lu Changsheng.

“It seems you’ve realized that our strengths differ greatly, so you’ve given up resisting? Hahaha, obediently dual-cultivate with me, and together we become immortals, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

The Huanxi Elder saw Chen Yao no longer fighting desperately and thought she had resigned to her fate.

“Master’s cultivation is unrivaled in the world, even the disciples of Mount Shu dare not oppose master, truly a role model for our generation!”

“Congratulations, master, on obtaining an exceptional vessel!”

“That Mount Shu disciple is quite a beauty. I wonder if in the future the disciples will have a chance to enjoy her? Hahahaha!”

The disciples of the Joyous Union Sect sneered wickedly, flattering and fawning over the Huanxi Elder.

“You are laughing in the face of death.”

ChenYao’s tone was ice-cold.

“Just with you low-level Mount Shu disciples, how can you make me face death…”

The Huanxi Elder’s words came to an abrupt halt, for a figure with the presence of an immortal and the essence of Dao had, unbeknownst to them, appeared beside Lin Qingzhi.

A sense of extreme danger surged in their hearts!

The sneers on the faces of the Joyous Union Sect disciples suddenly froze.

“Master.”

Lin Qingzhi respectfully performed the ritual of master and disciple.

“Elder Lu!”

Chen Yao was somewhat excited.

Just when all seemed lost, unexpectedly, there was a new turn!

“That is Elder Lu of Qingyun Peak!”

“Elder Lu stepped into the Dao Palace Realm three years ago; since he’s here, the Huanxi Old Demon of the Joyous Union Sect is nothing, we’re saved!”

“Disciples pay respects to Elder Lu.”

The other Mount Shu disciples, seeing a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation, were overjoyed, even the team leader at the ninth layer of the Golden Core Realm showed solemn respect towards Lu Changsheng.

“You’re the newly advanced Dao Palace Realm’s Lu Changsheng?!”

The Huanxi Elder, as an elder of the Joyous Union Sect and well-informed in intelligence, knew that there was an elder at Mount Shu who had entered the Dao Palace Realm three years ago, named Lu Changsheng.

The Huanxi Elder broke out in a cold sweat.

His second layer of the Nascent Soul Realm was no match for Lu Changsheng of the Dao Palace Realm.

How did it happen that after dealing with the junior, the senior showed up immediately?

Escape!

The Huanxi Elder activated the Soul Devouring Ring to attack Lu Changsheng and then turned to flee without looking back, regardless of his magical treasures and disciples.

When a Nascent Soul Realm faces a Dao Palace Realm, fleeing at the first opportunity might grant a slim possibility of survival!

“Die.”

Lu Changsheng casually struck with his palm.

This palm was all-encompassing and blotted out the sun.

Boom!

Lu Changsheng’s palm struck down, the earth shook, sand flew, stones raced, and trees snapped.

The Joyous Union Sect elder, the Huanxi Old Demon, was wiped out with a single palm, merging with the earth.

The disciples of the Joyous Union Sect who had just been praising the Huanxi Elder, now turned pale with shock; their master had been killed so easily?

“These Joyous Union Sect disciples are now on your hands, not a single one should escape.”

Lu Changsheng swept a cold glance over the group of Joyous Union Sect disciples, who were all petrified.

Lu Changsheng rarely made a move, but when he did, it was thorough, leaving no room for future troubles.

When Lu Changsheng appeared, he had already communicated with Lin Qingzhi through voice transmission and knew about the ambush. There was no need to capture any Joyous Union Sect disciples alive for interrogation since the disciples of Huanxi Old Demon had been killed.

Huanxi Old Demon was a low-ranking elder of the Joyous Union Sect, and his disciples weren’t highly skilled. After Lu Changsheng wiped out the Huanxi Old Demon with a single palm, the remaining Joyous Union Sect disciples were executed by the Mount Shu disciples.

Some Joyous Union Sect disciples tried to use Earth Escape Skills to flee but were trapped and buried alive by Lu Changsheng’s palm pressing down on the solid earth, which can be considered as giving them a proper burial.

“Junior offers his gratitude for Elder Lu’s timely rescue. Had Elder Lu not arrived promptly, we would have fallen at the hands of Huanxi Old Demon.”

The leading Mount Shu disciple bowed in thanks to Lu Changsheng.

“No need for excessive courtesy.”

Lu Changsheng was as composed as the clouds and gentle as the breeze.

Executing a Nascent Soul Realm elder of the Joyous Union Sect was not a big deal for him.

“Your master really is a prophet, isn’t he? He even foresaw this tribulation for us. Could it be that your master’s ability to divine the heavens is even greater than that of the Hidden Dragon Temple Master?”

Chen Yao whispered to Lin Qingzhi.

The Temple Master of Hidden Dragon Temple, one of the Six Orthodox Sects, was adept in the Time Law and famous for divining fate. However, Chen Yao now felt that Lu Changsheng was the true sage hidden from the world.

“Actually, my master is an Immortal.”

Lin Qingzhi stated with conviction.

“How is that possible…”

Chen Yao initially didn’t believe it but upon further consideration, it seemed not entirely impossible.

“Xiao, I admit that I lost the bet. You can ask me to do something reasonable.”

“How could I make Sister do something? Let’s just forget this ever happened.”

“No, abet is abet!”

“Well… but, indeed, there’s nothing I need Sister’s help with…”

“Qingzhi, keep this favor on hold; it might come in handy one day.”

With Lu Changsheng’s level, it was impossible not to hear the two’s conversation. His own disciple still did not understand the importance of favors.

If they were Disciples of the Demon Sects, then promises and such favors could be considered nothing but empty words. However, disciples from the Orthodox Sects, especially those of significant figures, are usually trustworthy with their promises.

“Then, Sister, you owe me for now.”

Lin Qingzhi scratched his head. He really could not think of anything he needed Chen Yao to do. So, following Lu Changsheng’s advice, he decided to let the favor remain outstanding.

“Mhm.”

Chen Yao nodded earnestly in agreement.

With Lu Changsheng’s full protection, the journey back to Mount Shu was unimpeded.

When Lin Qing’s Mount Shu team returned to Mount Shu, many disciples who had gone out to gain experience had already returned.

“Xiao eliminated five Golden Core Realm heretic cultivators and eight Qi Transformation Realm heretic cultivators in the past year. He slew countless bandits and rogues, with the highest-ranked being a fifth layer Golden Core Realm heretic cultivator. Truly, he’s a model for our generation.”

The Mount Shu disciple in charge of tallying the first-time experience mission’s results was astonished when going through Xiao Xiangdao’s achievements.

Many Mount Shu disciples who had cultivated for decades had not managed to kill a heretic cultivator of the fifth layer of the Golden Core Realm.

“It is my shame.”

Xiao Xiangdao was quite satisfied with his results; he should be the top among this batch of disciples.

“It’s you guys?”

Xiao Xiangdao caught sight of Lin Qing, Chen Yao, and their team returning as well.

Chen Yao was the second-place winner at the Mount Shu Disciples Convention, and Lin Qing was in the top eight. These were all outstanding individuals among the new generation of disciples.

“Lin, in the past year, you killed six Golden Core Realm heretic cultivators and eleven Qi Transformation Realm heretic cultivators? The highest-ranked among your kills was Sima Kuang, an eighth layer Golden Core Realm bandit leader from Ji Country… Hiss…”

The Mount Shu disciple summarizing the achievements was deeply shocked by Lin Qing’s record of experience.
