Yellow Province, Profound Earth Mountain

Lu Yang's telepathic message received a response quickly.

Mu Yunxue's response was very concise, stating that she planned to stay in the sect to cultivate.

The last time she went out with Lu Yang, they had a continuous discussion on the Dao. In addition, they had discussed the Dao several more times in the past ten days. Her understanding of the Metal Dao has reached a critical point and is about to undergo a transformation.

Therefore, Mu Yunxue planned to take this opportunity to go into seclusion for a period of time.

Qin Nanyue, however, planned to go along and take a look.

Although Lin Ying has not yet emerged from seclusion, judging from the fluctuations of Divine Sense outside the cave abode, her breakthrough has reached a critical stage, and she will probably continue to seclude herself for a while longer.

With Wang Liu and other bodyguard puppets taking care of things inside the cave abode, there shouldn't be any problems.

Most importantly, she has now reached a critical stage in comprehending the "Heavenly Trace Sword Canon".

She needed to ask Lu Yang about his insights and cultivation experience regarding the "Heavenly Trace Sword Canon" from time to time.

In the end, Lu Yang, Qin Nanyue, Jiang Shiqing, and Liu Yaoyao left the sect together.

Of course, in addition to the four of them, Lu Qingtong's Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng spirit pet will also be going along.

These days, after entering the Golden Sun Mountain Range, Lu Qingtong has completely let loose and been living her life to the fullest.

Lu Yang had checked on the girl's situation through the spirit pet's mark; this girl was practically the tyrant of the Golden Sun Mountain Range now.

The Golden Sun Mountain Range itself doesn't have any particularly powerful Demon Beasts; the strongest are only at the Golden Core Realm.

Unless they are spirit pets, Nascent Soul Realm Demon Beasts cannot live peacefully near top sects.

Otherwise, it's like proactively handing over a whole bunch of materials to someone's door.

With Lu Qingtong's Nascent Soul Perfection cultivation, just by releasing her aura, all the Demon Beasts on the mountain had to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.

This made Lu Qingtong act like a triad boss, leading a group of temporarily recruited henchmen as she swaggered around the Golden Sun Mountain Range, exuding power and influence, even kicking stray dogs that passed by.

Fortunately, Lu Qingtong remembered Lu Yang's words and didn't go too far. She even helped protect the outer disciples of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect who were training in the mountains.

It is said that several outer disciples in the Qi Refining Realm encountered a Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Beast while doing a mission in the mountains.

Just as it was about to suffer disaster, a flash of green light appeared, and the Demon Beast was pinned to the ground by an invisible force, unable to move.

The disciples were terrified. When they came to their senses, they saw a little girl with long golden hair squatting on the head of the Demon Beast, waving at them triumphantly.

Later, the news spread among the outer disciples, who all said that there was a "Little Golden Immortal" in the Golden Sun Mountain Range secretly protecting the sect's disciples.

When Lu Yang notified Lu Qingtong through the spirit pet's mark and asked if she wanted to go out and play together, Lu Qingtong immediately cheered and said she wanted to go.

That was incredibly exciting.

Lu Yang found it somewhat amusing.

He even thought to himself that after dealing with the Blood Devil Hall cultivators this time, he should bring Qingtong back to the Lu Household and let her play with Hongdou.

The two little girls look about the same age; they should be able to play together.

Furthermore, Lu Qingtong is Nascent Soul Perfection demon, and with Hongdou by her side, she can also protect her.

Judging by the timeline, Hongdou should be having her Spirit Root tested soon, right?

Lu Yang could sense the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi around the Hongdou, and he would instinctively absorb the Spiritual Qi into his body.

However, Lu Yang was unsure of the specific quality of the Spirit Root.

However, judging from the concentration of Spiritual Qi, the quality of the Spirit Root is probably not very high.

Of course, it doesn't matter. If I acquire more heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enhance my Spirit Roots in the future, I can prepare some for Hongdou as well.

In time, her Spirit Roots will gradually improve.

Furthermore, the concentration of Spiritual Qi on Eastward Prospect Mountain is now vastly different from what it used to be, making Hongdou's cultivation conditions far better than they were back then.

He never had the conditions he has now before.

Soon, Jiang Shiqing and Liu Yaoyao came out of the cultivation room.

The three of them went together to pick up Qin Nanyue.

Qin Nanyue stood at the entrance of the cave abode, having waited for a while.

Today she was dressed in a dark black fitted outfit, with a black soft armor belt tightly cinched at the waist, outlining her slender and strong waistline. Her long, black hair was tied up in a high ponytail, revealing her long, fair neck.

The group then reached the summit of the mountain, where Lu Qingtong was already waiting.

The Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot rested quietly on the mountaintop platform, its pale gold patterns on the nine-tiered canopy shimmering and shifting in the drizzle.

The rainwater on the summit had been dispersed by the formation, and the bluestone ground was dry and clean. Only the pine needles of the surrounding pine forest were covered with glistening water droplets, which shimmered coldly in the gloomy light.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, Lu Qingtong's blue eyes lit up, and excitement appeared in them.

She cheered and rushed to Lu Yang like a little golden whirlwind, jumping up and clinging to him. Her little arms wrapped tightly around his neck, and her sweet, childlike voice carried a hint of coquetry. "Young Master, I missed you so much!"

Lu Yang was exasperated, and pinched her chubby little face in an annoyed tone. "You have a sweet tongue, but even when you're having a blast outside, you still think about me?"

Lu Qingtong chuckled, showing no embarrassment at being exposed, and simply rubbed her face against Lu Yang's chest.

Her golden feathered robe was slightly wrinkled from being rubbed, and a pine needle that had somehow gotten off a tree clung to her hair.

Lu Yang helplessly picked the pine needle off for her, patted her little head, and gestured for her to get down.

The group boarded the Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot.

The bronze carriage doors slowly closed behind us, shutting out the sound of the rain outside.

Upon entering, Jiang Shiqing, Liu Yaoyao, and Qin Nanyue stared wide-eyed at the miniature world inside the car, their expressions filled with shock.

Pale golden light streamed down from the dome, illuminating the entire space with a bright yet soft glow.

Beneath our feet lies soft, fertile black soil, and in the distance, rows of spiritual fields are neatly arranged with clearly defined ridges, and clear spiritual springs flow slowly through the irrigation canals.

Further away lies a clear, emerald-green spirit pool, with wisps of pale white spirit mist floating on its surface, and the water shimmering under the light.

Behind the Spirit Pool, several white jade palaces stand quietly, with flying eaves and brackets, exquisite and elegant.

The air was filled with a rich Spiritual Qi; taking a deep breath made me feel every pore on my body open up.

They never imagined that such a small world existed inside this flying Law Treasure.

Liu Yaoyao opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

She had presided over countless auctions and seen countless rare treasures, but she had never even heard of a flying Law Treasure containing its own miniature world!

Jiang Shiqing and Qin Nanyue, however, were already shocked by Lu Yang so many times before that they quickly recovered.

Jiang Shiqing's shimmering eyes swept over the uncultivated black soil in the spirit fields, then gazed at the emerald green spirit pool in the distance, and asked curiously, "Young Master, this place is so big! Can these spirit fields be used to grow spirit herbs?"

She was in a hurry to plant spiritual herbs for Lin Ying.

After all, Lin Ying was responsible for purchasing all the spiritual herbs she used in alchemy.

Lu Yang nodded. "Of course, and the spiritual spring can also be used for bathing."

Following his gaze, Qin Nanyue looked at the misty spiritual pool, and her spirited eyes immediately lit up.

The pool water was crystal clear and emerald green, with a misty haze drifting slowly across its surface like a veil; just looking at it made one feel completely at ease.

She immediately showed a hint of interest. "That's not bad. Shiqing, Yaoyao, let's take a bath together later!"

Although there are hot springs and spiritual springs on the forbidden mountain peaks, they are not really suitable for them to bathe in them because there is no protective formation.

It can only be used after Senior Baili has completed setting up the defensive formation.

However, this problem doesn't exist inside this flying Law Treasure.

Inside the flying Law Treasure, there was only Lu Yang, the only man present.

Jiang Shiqing and Qin Nanyue were already Lu Yang's women, so they didn't care if Lu Yang saw them naked while they were bathing here.

Liu Yaoyao is not Lu Yang's woman yet, but as Lu Yang's personal maid, she naturally didn't say much, and was even a little expectant.

That spiritual pool looked shrouded in mist and had crystal-clear water; it must be extremely comfortable to soak in.

Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he flashed a bright smile, "I'll soak with you guys."

Qin Nanyue's pretty face flushed instantly. She glared at him, annoyed, and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking? Go away, I don't want to go with you!"

Jiang Shiqing's eyes flickered, and the corners of her lips slightly lifted, as if she was quite interested.

She pursed her red lips and chuckled, "If Nanyue isn't willing, would you like to have a private soak with me later, young master?"

Jiang Shiqing realized that they hadn't even practiced dual cultivation in the water yet!

She had only had the "Hidden Return Dragon and Phoenix Secret Canon" for a few days, and hadn't even had a chance to learn the Phoenix Dao Chapter yet, but the descriptions alone had already filled her with longing.

The waters of the spirit pool rippled, and the aura of dragons and phoenixes mingled... Just thinking about it makes one's heart race!

I want to give it a try!

Lu Yang's face immediately lit up with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate emotion. "Shiqing is still the best to me!"

As he said this, Lu Yang deliberately glanced at Qin Nanyue, his face full of disappointment.

Qin Nanyue pursed her red lips and glanced at Jiang Shiqing with a hint of annoyance.

You, Jiang Shiqing!

You really are a vixen, huh? You think you're the only one who can play the good guy?!

Seeing Lu Yang's disappointed expression, even though she knew he was mostly faking it, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Qin Nanyue's affection for Lu Yang was already at its maximum, so she naturally cared a lot about Lu Yang's feelings.

She considered whether to agree, but was too shy to say anything.

Especially since Liu Yaoyao was watching from the sidelines...

However, Qin Nanyue gritted her teeth and secretly transmitted her voice to Lu Yang, saying, "If you... if you really want to soak together, I'll come along later too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed a look of delight.

He knew Qin Nanyue was shy, and that it took a tremendous amount of determination for her to say such a thing.

He immediately replied telepathically, "Okay, I'll have Yaoyao go cultivate later; she won't be able to see it."

Hearing this, Qin Nanyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She pursed her red lips, her ears burning, her pretty face slightly flushed, and softly Sound Dao, "Mmm..."

Lu Yang, satisfied, took out the control array plate and casually tossed it to Wang San, who was waiting behind him. "Let's go."

Wang San accepted the array plate and respectfully replied, "Yes, young master."

Then, in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, the bodyguard puppets Wang Da, Wang Shiyi, and Wang Shiliu, who had come with Lu Yang, Jiang Shiqing, and Qin Nanyue, also disappeared from the spot, no longer disturbing Lu Yang and his group.

At the summit, the walls of the Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot shone with light.

Nine dragon reliefs slowly twisted in the white light, and countless clouds were drawn from the rain curtain, condensing into nine Cloud Flood Dragons each fifty feet long.

The Cloud Flood Dragons lowered their heads, and the nine bronze ropes automatically looped around them. Then, they all raised their heads and let out a long, deep dragon roar.

The rain curtain trembled slightly from the dragon's roar, and the pine needles on the mountaintop rustled, scattering water droplets across the ground.

Nine Cloud Flood Dragon with its four claws, treaded on the clouds, pulling the ancient and noble bronze chariot into the air.

The little world inside the car didn't even feel the slightest vibration.

Nine Cloud Flood Dragons rode on the clouds, and under the shocked gazes of the many disciples and elders of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, they transformed into a pale golden stream of light, flew out of the sect's formation range, and flew into the distance.

The state where Zhou Mu, the master of the Blood Devil Hall, resides is called Yellow Province, which borders Dao Province, the central region of the Eastern Domain.

Because Dao Province possesses Supreme-Grade Spirit Veins, the Spiritual Qi concentration in the surrounding major states is quite high.

Although not as naturally advantageous as Dao Province, Yellow Province also boasts several top-tier forces.

Zhou Mu's public identity is that of a Golden Core Elder from the top-tier Profound Earth Mountain!

This Profound Earth Mountain is a top-tier sect that specializes in Earth Dao cultivation. The sect has two powerful Nascent Soul Realm cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, making them quite formidable.

Even in Yellow Province, a place teeming with powerful individuals, it would be considered a top-tier force at the highest level!

In fact, when Lu Yang saw Zhou Mu's information, he was also a little surprised that the master of the Blood Devil Hall was actually Golden Core elder of a top righteous sect!

I don't know if this guy thinks the most dangerous place is the safest, or what.

Of course, Zhou Mu's identity is not limited to just being an elder of Profound Earth Mountain.

He used various aliases and identities to move around the Eastern Domain, accumulating dozens of different identities.

Some are still being used covertly, while others have long been abandoned.

Currently, he is using the identity of an elder of Profound Earth Mountain.

His Daoist name in Profound Earth Mountain is also quite ironic.

The Daoist name is "Qingxuan".

He was known in the sect for his composure, integrity, aversion to women, and single-minded devotion to the Dao, and was deeply trusted by several senior elders.

Lu Yang's next task was simple: rush to Yellow Province, enter Profound Earth Mountain, and kill Zhou Mu.
