The Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's Sect Master True Lord

As Li Feng left, the previously stagnant air seemed to begin circulating again.

Qin Huan and the others glanced discreetly at Li Ao, who was standing respectfully not far behind Lu Yang with his head down, and then stole another glance at Lu Yang.

Just moments ago, they were on the deck, excitedly discussing how mysterious and complex those array patterns were, and Lu Yang was watching with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, he had already taken in an elder of the Golden Core Li Household, a Golden Core Realm clan, as a servant.

The change was so rapid that Qin Huan and the others were caught off guard.

A subtle sense of unease, and even a touch of awe, welled up within them.

On the contrary, Jiang Shiqing's eyes shone brightly, filled with undisguised admiration.

Young master, you're amazing!

The Li Household is far more powerful than the Fang Household of Taibai Market, yet they are so afraid of you, young master!

She felt increasingly fortunate to have been chosen by the young master.

Lin Ying remained calm and composed. After all, she had already witnessed the enthusiasm of the Golden Core Lineage for Lu Yang in Taibai Market, and she now had a certain level of resilience.

She simply gazed quietly at Lu Yang's profile, and seeing his calm and composed demeanor brought her a sense of peace.

Qin Nanyue was a little flustered, as it was the first time she had met him.

That power, that demeanor—it was as if he were a completely different person from the Junior Brother Lu had joked and teased her with the sect token before.

Just then, she saw Lu Yang turn his head to look at her and even wink secretly.

Qin Nanyue was taken aback, but then the panic in her heart gradually dissipated, and a very faint blush appeared on her beautiful and heroic face.

Junior Brother Lu is... trying to comfort her?

It seems Junior Brother Lu still cares about her feelings?

The next second, Qin Nanyue was startled and suddenly realized what was happening.

No, I can't think about it anymore!

That scoundrel Junior Brother Lu clearly wants to sleep with both sisters!

Not only did he have Yingying, he also found such a bright and elegant maid.

He's flirting with her again!

How could I let his slightest action distract me?

Qin Nanyue! Hold back!

She took a deep breath, forcefully averted her gaze from Lu Yang, and pretended to be intently studying the patterns on the lamp on the side of the ship.

While Qin Nanyue was in a state of mental turmoil, Lu Yang casually said, "Let's go, to the market."

Before he could finish speaking, the mountain range ahead suddenly stirred.

The golden energy within the Golden Sun Mountain Range suddenly seemed to be drawn by some force, converging from all directions toward the front of the flying boat.

Countless strands of golden energy intertwined, condensed, and surged in mid-air, as if someone were weaving brocade with golden thread on the sky, stitch by stitch outlining the silhouette of a human figure.

The light was dazzling but not blinding; instead, it carried a profound and ancient majesty.

The outline gradually solidified, and the golden light then receded inward, finally disappearing from the person like a thin veil.

What was revealed was an elderly man wearing a Daoist robe with a gold background and white patterns.

The old man had white hair and beard, a few shallow wrinkles on his face, and dark gold pupils. He looked extremely dignified, yet still retained some of his youthful handsomeness.

He stood quietly in front of the airship, without making any unnecessary movements.

But the golden energy of the entire Golden Sun Mountain Range seemed to come alive the moment he appeared.

They surged, cheered, and visibly swirled around the old man, as if subjects were meeting their king.

The air, which had just resumed its flow, fell silent once more.

Even the ever-present gale in the sky fell silent at this moment.

Wang Yin's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly bowed, his voice filled with barely suppressed awe. "Wang Yin, a retainer of the Qin Household, greets the Golden Rainbow Sect True Lord!"

This shout was like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

The cultivators watching from afar were in various states of shock, awe, and confusion, clearly not quite able to process what was happening.

Master True Lord!

Isn't this the leader of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect?!

Even most of the disciples of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect had never seen this legendary sect leader.

After all, this is Nascent Soul True Lord!

A single period of seclusion can last for decades, a time when one is rarely seen.

Unexpectedly, they actually saw this True Lord leader here today!

Then everyone realized what had happened.

They glanced at True Lord sect leader, then at Lu Yang.

Clearly, this Nascent Soul True Lord came for Lu Yang.

Lu Yang wasn't too surprised.

After all, Wang Da is now Peak Nascent Soul level expert.

Furthermore, Lu Yang's ostentatious return to the sect aboard the Flowing Light Flying Boat will inevitably attract attention, and he may even be approached by powerful figures at the Nascent Soul True Lord level.

However, Lu Yang did not expect that the one who came would be the sect leader of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

This shows considerable importance attached to it.

Lu Yang cupped his hands in a respectful but not servile gesture, a perfectly measured and composed smile on his face, "Outer disciple Lu Yang greets Sect Leader True Lord."

Qi Yunshu, the sect leader of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, fixed his gaze on Lu Yang's face.

A subtle ripple flickered in his dark golden pupils, and then a gentle smile appeared on his originally dignified face.

He said kindly, "I never expected that my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect would have a disciple of such high status Young Master Lu. It is truly an honor for my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. There's no need for such formalities."

As Qi Yunshu spoke, her peripheral vision fell on Wang Da, who stood behind Lu Yang with a blank expression.

A hint of seriousness, even fear, flashed deep in his eyes.

Nascent Soul Late Stage?

Even the peak?

Just who is this Young Master Lu?

Ever since Xiao Changli reported the news about Lu Yang, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect has been secretly investigating him.

It wasn't specifically targeting Lu Yang.

After all, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect could never trust a young man of unknown origin but with a mysterious and profound background to cultivate on their territory.

One aspect is to prevent infiltration from other forces.

On the other hand, if something were to happen to this young man within the sect, their Golden Rainbow Sword Sect would have unjustly made an enemy of a major power, which would be a terrible injustice if word got out!

According to their investigation, the people behind Lu Yang were all servants.

Lu Yang's Lineage was actually just a small Lineage at the Qi Refining Realm.

Such small Lineage were as numerous as hairs on a cow under the rule of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

When the investigation results were presented to him, even Qi Yunshu, Nascent Soul True Lord who had seen countless storms, was stunned for a moment.

He wasn't surprised that Lu Yang came from such a humble background.

In fact, this background is almost 100% fake.

What truly alarmed him was that, even though they were right under the noses of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and even with the sect's intelligence network, they couldn't find a single clue about Lu Yang's true identity!

That's terrifying!

This suggests that the power behind Lu Yang is likely much stronger than that of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

This guess was confirmed the moment he saw Wang Da with his own eyes.

That brat Xiao Changli... actually said that Lu Yang's servants are all at the Golden Core Realm?!

Qi Yunshu had been secretly observing when she saw Wang Da, and she almost crushed the pair of jade gallbladders she had been playing with for hundreds of years.

You're telling me that a terrifyingly powerful expert in the Nascent Soul Late Stage or even peak Nascent Soul stage is just a servant?!

And Xiao Changli, did you even glance at it?!

You call Nascent Soul True Lord Golden Core cultivator?!

Qi Yunshu was in a complete uproar, and she cursed Xiao Changli mercilessly.

The good news is that Lu Yang is probably not an inside agent from an opposing force.

After all, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's opposing forces weren't that strong.

The bad news is that if this Young Master Lu gets hurt at the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, he even suspects that the heavens might just slap him down and wipe the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect flat.

To be honest, Qi Yunshu was a little nervous at the time.

He originally planned to observe this Young Master Lu further, figure out his temperament, and then consider how to deal with him.

For example, it wouldn't be unacceptable to gently persuade this man to leave, find another better position, and go and cause trouble for other sects.

But unexpectedly, he ran into the two little guys from the Li Household who came to apologize.

That's why Qi Yunshu realized that Lu Yang's true nature seemed to be quite gentle and kind.

This aligns with his background as a core member of a top-tier powerful organization.

Such prodigies from top-tier powerful organizations live smooth and easy lives, never having witnessed the darkness of the lower classes. How could they not be gentle and kind?

However, this temperament made him feel slightly relieved.

At least they're not difficult to please.

Based on this judgment, Qi Yunshu, after preparing herself mentally, revealed herself from the shadows and openly met this Young Master Lu.

Lu Yang withdrew his cupped hands and stood there calmly, looking at this renowned Nascent Soul True Lord.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the clouds, filtering through the golden aura of the Golden Sun Mountain Range and casting a dappled curtain of light between him and Qi Yunshu.

He smiled slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, gentle and proper. "I didn't know that the Sect True Lord himself had come to offer his guidance?"

Qi Yunshu stroked his beard and chuckled, "I wouldn't presume to offer guidance. Since Young Master Lu has joined my sect, he is naturally a disciple. However, given Young Master Lu's special status, I must meet him in person."

He paused here, his gaze naturally passing over Lu Yang and landing on Wang Da.

He cupped his hands in greeting and said solemnly, "Furthermore, since a fellow Daoist has come to the territory of my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, as the sect leader, I cannot be impolite. My name is Qi Yunshu, and I greet this fellow Daoist."

Wang Da remained calm and bowed in return, saying, "Wang Da greets Fellow Daoist Qi."
