A Warning That Swept Across Qin Province
Lu Yang glanced at Xu Youling, whose face was filled with undisguised excitement, chuckled, and said, "If there's anything I can do to help you, Holy Maiden Xu, I'll let you know."
Xu Youling pursed her red lips and suddenly said, "Young Master Lu, just call me Youling. Calling me Holy Maiden Xu sounds too formal."
Lu Yang chuckled and readily agreed, "Youling."
Xu Youling's pretty face flushed slightly, and she nodded. "Mm."
Pang Zhao, watching the two exchange, looked somewhat bewildered.
What a pair of scoundrels...
So cheesy!
However, if Young Master Lu could give him Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, he wouldn't mind being just as cheesy, or even more so; he felt he could give it a try.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Pang Zhao stared at Lu Yang expectantly, trying to convey his thoughts with his eyes.
Lu Yang naturally noticed Pang Zhao's expectant look, which made him feel a little uneasy.
No... you're not a woman, why are you making that face?
However, Lu Yang could also understand that Pang Zhao seemed to want to Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves.
Unfortunately, although he had quite a few of these Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, he couldn't just give them away to anyone.
The reason for giving it to Xu Youling is that she is a system-certified confidante, and you can get favorability rewards from her.
There was no reward for Pang Zhao.
If he and Pang Zhao were on good terms, he wouldn't be stingy. But he and Pang Zhao have only met a few times, so it's unrealistic to say they have a very good relationship.
Lu Yang pretended not to see it.
He chuckled, "You two were attracted here by the Metal Spirit Fruit, weren't you? Now that everything's alright, hurry up and deal with the Evil Cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Xu Youling and Pang Zhao remembered their important business.
Xu Youling smiled slightly, a hint of pride in her voice. "Young Master Lu, Li Feihe was just killed by Senior Brother Pang and me. His head is with Senior Brother Pang."
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at Pang Zhao. Pang Zhao, also somewhat proud, took out the blood-stained head and chuckled, "I have fulfilled my mission!"
Lu Yang glanced at Li Feihe, but his heart was not greatly affected.
He had already seen it during his previous search; Li Feihe's strength was inferior to that of Pang Zhao and Xu Youling combined.
Once discovered, Li Feihe will definitely not be able to escape.
Lu Yang hadn't expected Xu Youling and Pang Zhao to act so quickly, completing the task he had assigned them in just a few days.
He didn't hold back his praise, chuckling, "As expected of a successor of the Supreme Mystic Dao Sect, you're incredibly fast. Even Li Feihe, Late Golden Core cultivator, couldn't escape your pursuit."
Seeing that Lu Yang didn't seem to have any intention of helping him Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, Pang Zhao accepted it.
He chuckled and said, "This Li Feihe is quite strong, it's a pity he ran into the two of us."
Xu Youling said, "As for the other Evil Cultivators and Bandit Cultivators, we dealt with some of them while chasing Li Feihe. As for the rest, Senior Brother Pang and I will continue to handle them."
Lu Yang nodded, then chuckled, "Since you two have completed my task, I won't be stingy. These are your rewards."
Lu Yang took out several top-grade talismans for the Golden Core Realm, as well as top-grade pills, and also gave each of them a Supreme-Grade Law Treasure.
These were all taken by Lu Yang from the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance's treasury. He still had quite a few on him. Since Xu Youling and Pang Zhao had done his job, he naturally had to show his appreciation.
These are all top-quality items, the most suitable treasures for the Golden Core Realm cultivators. Even though Pang Zhao and Xu Youling are both successors of the Supreme Mystic Dao Sect, they can still use these treasures.
Pang Zhao immediately broke into a smile.
Although I didn't get the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, getting Supreme-Grade Law Treasure, pills, and talismans is still a pretty good haul.
As expected of Young Master Lu, he's incredibly generous!
Pang Zhao only possessed three Supreme-Grade Law Treasures.
Xu Youling did not refuse, and nodded with a smile to accept it. Lu Yang glanced at the favorability rating, which increased by 3 points, reaching 71 points.
We're getting closer and closer to 80 points of favorability.
Then, Lu Yang said, "Alright, you guys go ahead and do your work. If you need any help, just let me know."
"I need Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves..." Pang Zhao muttered to himself, but dared not say it aloud.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Lu, with our combined strength, we shouldn't encounter any trouble in Qin Province."
Xu Youling felt quite reluctant to leave. She glanced at Liu Yaoyao and Mu Yunxue beside Lu Yang. She also wanted to stay by Young Master Lu's side, to see Young Master Lu handsome face every day. Just thinking about it made her happy...
Xu Youling naturally dared not make such a request. Suppressing her reluctance, she chuckled and said, "In that case, we'll take our leave now."
Lu Yang nodded.
Xu Youling and Pang Zhao bowed to Lu Yang, then turned and left the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Xu Youling and Pang Zhao nodded goodbye to Lu Sheng and the others outside the courtyard, then took to the air and flew away into the distance.
In the sky, Pang Zhao glanced at Xu Youling, whose pretty face was cool and indifferent, then shamelessly approached her with a very ingratiating smile, saying, "Junior Sister Xu, what is the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves like? I've never seen it before in my life. Could you show it to me and broaden my horizons?"
Xu Youling glanced at Pang Zhao and said, "Senior brother, we've been fellow disciples since childhood. Do you think I can't see through your intentions? This was given to me by Young Master Lu; there's no share for you."
Pang Zhao was immediately heartbroken and grief-stricken, saying, "Alas... I always think of you when I have something good, but I never expected that Junior Sister Xu wouldn't even let me see this Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves! It hurts my heart so much!"
Xu Youling couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, "Really? Last time, you didn't share even one or two of those Purple Mansion Spirit-Nurturing Grass with me, your junior sister!"
Pang Zhao's expression immediately froze. He gave a dry laugh and stammered, "Well, isn't that something your senior brother needs? Good junior sister, how about... just one leaf of the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves? Please, just give your senior brother one leaf! I only need one leaf!"
Xu Youling calmly replied, "No."
She quickened her pace, transformed into a rainbow of light, and flew forward.
Pang Zhao sighed and followed helplessly.
He genuinely wanted to Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves!
After seeing Xu Youling and Pang Zhao off, Lu Yang looked up at the sky. Perhaps because of Xu Youling and Pang Zhao's departure, or perhaps because he saw Wang Da and felt Wang Er'yi's Divine Sense suppression, the Golden Core Realm cultivators who had come earlier had long since disappeared.
However, other cultivators from even more distant places are gradually approaching.
Lu Yang naturally didn't want too many people to be attracted here.
He said calmly, "Wang Da, this is a warning."
Wang Da nodded, and the next moment, he soared into the air and arrived in the sky.
The terrifying pressure of the Spirit Transformation Realm transformed into tangible waves of flame that spread in all directions.
This terrifying pressure contained the Fire Dao Principle, almost transforming into a domain of flames, causing a surging golden sea of fire to appear before the eyes of all the nearby cultivators.
All the Golden Core Realm cultivators spat out a mouthful of blood, which burst into flames in the air before turning into wisps of green smoke and disappearing.
These Golden Core Realm cultivators were filled with horror, their bodies turning ice-cold with fear.
"What... what is this?!" An elder at the Golden Core Realm was deathly pale, devoid of any color.
No one answered him, and all the Golden Core Realm cultivators turned and ran in a panic.
They could all see that this senior had suppressed the power of his aura; otherwise, they would have been dead just now!
Clearly, this senior was warning them!
Are we going to stay here and wait to die instead of leaving now?
Not only the cultivators who were already close to Eastward Prospect Mountain, but also the fire waves formed by this pressure continued to sweep across the entire Qin Province Prefecture. The Nascent Soul elders of the major top sects who were originally on their way to check the situation were now feeling a chill all over their bodies.
They exchanged a silent glance, then quietly returned the way they came, no longer daring to harbor any further thoughts of that heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
