I Need Time to Break Through

The next morning, the valley was shrouded in mist when a clear, crisp sound of a copper bell suddenly rang out, and Lu Changsheng, who was meditating and breathing exercises, opened his eyes.

Not only Lu Changsheng, but also the group from Mount Shu and Ask Immortal Pavilion were awakened by this, and they drew their Sword Art, ready to make a move at any time.

"Hehe, Lu Changsheng, you've kept me searching for Elder Sister for ages! Be a good girl and cultivate with Elder Sister, don't even think about running away."

A slender figure emerged from the mist. She wore a pale yellow dress and had a captivatingly beautiful face. The Copper Bell Law Treasure at her waist rang crisply, stirring the hearts of all who beheld it.

This is an Innate Spirit Treasure.

"This is Liu Yuner, Peerless Genius at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer Hehuan Sect... Could it be that you were being followed last night?"

Zeng Yeqiu looked at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng shook his head. "Absolutely impossible."

His Ten-Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique had reached its peak, and he carefully avoided the aura of the Demon Sects Elders, so there was no reason for Liu Yuner to discover his whereabouts.

"How did she find this place?"

Zeng Yeqiu gritted her teeth; with her cultivation at the Dao Palace Realm, Eighth Layer, she was no match for Liu Yuner.

In the mist, dozens of figures of Demon Sects Elders appeared on both sides of the valley.

Besides the Hehuan Sect, there were also forces from the Myriad Poison Valley.

Lu Changsheng looked at the Myriad Poison Valley Grand Disciple, who was dressed in black and veiled and whose face was obscured. This person controlled the Myriad Calamity Giant Serpent, and his presence here indicated that the Myriad Calamity Giant Serpent might also be in this valley.

"Hiss..."

A chilling hissing sound rang out, and in the mist, a colossal creature was slowly crawling, its pair of emerald green snake eyes staring at the group. Its massive body resembled a hill, and its hard scales were comparable to those of Spirit Treasure.

"This is the Myriad Calamity Giant Serpent you speak of..."

Upon encountering the Devil Creatures at the Void Refinement Realm, the group from the Ask Immortal Pavilion felt only endless despair.

Such an opponent is difficult for someone with the cultivation level of the Dao Palace Realm to match.

"What to do?"

Zeng Yeqiu, the Chief Grand Disciple of the Ask Immortal Pavilion, felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of the Myriad Calamity Giant Serpent, a being at the Void Refinement Realm.

The gap between the Dao Palace Realm and the Void Refinement Realm is too great.

The oppressive aura of the Myriad Calamity Giant Serpent caused even Zeng Yeqiu at the Dao Palace Realm, Eighth Layer, to tremble, unable to even move his feet.

There is only one battle left.

Murong Shi of Jade Moon Peak drew his Ink Plum Sword, resigned to his fate.

If she were caught up by the Hehuan Sect, the Myriad Poison Valley, and the Myriad Calamity Giant Serpent, she wouldn't even have a 10% chance of winning.

"Luo Feng, what are you doing? Come back here!"

Elder Kumu of the Ask Immortal Pavilion noticed that Luo Feng, his companion, was leaning towards Liu Yuner and reprimanded him.

"I don't want to die with you all."

Luo Feng, his eyes cold, walked to Liu Yuner's side.

"Could it be that you betrayed our whereabouts?!"

The group from the Ask Immortal Pavilion were all greatly shocked.

Luo Feng was one of the Personal Disciples of the Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion, and also Elder at the Dao Palace Realm. Previously, no one suspected that Luo Feng would betray them.

Luo Feng said in a sinister tone, "Now there's no point in hiding it anymore. I've already pledged allegiance to the Reincarnation Hall. Eight years ago, during the trip to the Desolate Province, although I escaped back to my sect, I had already been captured alive by the Reincarnation Hall before that. Wan Daoyi fed me Poison, making me an inside agent. If I didn't comply, I wouldn't get the Antidote and would surely die from the poison. To save my own life, I have no choice but to apologize to you."

"Traitor!"

The group from the Ask Immortal Pavilion gritted their teeth in anger.

Being betrayed by one's own people is an infuriating experience.

"Lu Changsheng, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have doubted you. I never imagined my junior brother would betray us. If I have the chance, I will personally kill this Traitor who betrayed our sect."

Zeng Yeqiu apologized to Lu Changsheng in time, his expression changing from fear of the Myriad Calamity Giant Serpent to coldness.

For the Six Great Sects, betrayal is the most taboo thing.

Zeng Yeqiu, as the head disciple of the Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion, may not be as talented as Xiao Menger and Xia Ningxue, but he is determined to the Cleanse the Sect even at the cost of his life.

Over there, Luo Feng said to Liu Yuner, "I have told you their whereabouts, so you must keep your promise and spare Xia Ningxue's life, handing her over to me for disposal."

"Hehe, I never expected that the Immortal Inquiry Ask Immortal Pavilion, which prides itself on being righteous and Supreme Forgetting Emotions Art as its Sect-Defending Cultivation Method, would have its sect leader's Personal Disciple lust after his junior sister's beauty and willingly degenerate. If word gets out, Fairy Su of the Ask Immortal Pavilion will lose all face."

Liu Yuner's lips were as sweet as honey, Ask Immortal Pavilion feel uncomfortable.

Luo Feng betrayed the Sects; that is a fact.

Liu Yuner's gaze fell on Xia Ningxue: "Speaking of which, the Xia junior sister you wanted is indeed stunningly beautiful, even more so than me. I'm almost reluctant to hand her over to you; perhaps our sect leader would like her."

Luo Feng's face turned ashen. "How could you go back on your word?"

"Hmph, you yourself called our Hehuan Sect Demon Sects sect. Why should members of Demon Sects sect keep their word? I can do whatever I want, so stop lecturing me."

"You..."

Luo Feng wanted to lash out, but Liu Yuner was a Hehuan Sect Peerless Genius at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer the Hehuan Sect. Luo Feng, at the Dao Palace Realm Second Layer, was not qualified to negotiate with her at all. If he angered Liu Yuner Luo Feng, he might be drained dry.

Then, Liu Yuner shifted her gaze to Lu Changsheng: "However, my target is Lu Changsheng. I want to cultivate the Hehuan Dao with him and acquire his cultivation level. In this way, I can enter the Void Refinement Realm."

"You Demoness!"

For some reason, Xia Ningxue felt a nameless anger rise in her heart when she saw Liu Yuner.

Lu Changsheng completely ignored Liu Yuner.

The real threat did not come from Liu Yuner was at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer.

Although Lu Changsheng is only at the Dao Palace Realm, Eighth Layer, Lu Changsheng is no ordinary cultivator. Even if he doesn't break through to the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer, he is fully capable of defeating Liu Yuner, who is at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer.

What truly troubled Lu Changsheng was the Chief Grand Disciple of the Myriad Poison Valley and the Myriad Calamity Giant Serpent he controlled.

Lu Changsheng mentally estimated that with his cultivation at the Dao Palace Realm, Eighth Layer, he might not be able to suppress the Myriad Calamity Giant Serpent when activating the immortal Immortal Artifact.

Activating Immortal Artifact requires a large amount of Spiritual Qi, Lu Changsheng only has one chance to use it.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng had to ensure that nothing went wrong.

He needs to temporarily break through to the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer.

"Listen to me, everyone. I have a way to turn the tide."

After making up his mind, Lu Changsheng transmitted his thoughts to everyone present.

"Oh?"

Just when everyone had given up hope, Lu Changsheng suddenly spoke, giving them a glimmer of hope in their desperate situation.

"I have several Earth-Escaping Divine Talisman here. Each Earth-Escaping Divine Talisman allows you to traverse thirty miles underground. If we use the Earth-Escaping Divine Talisman consecutively, we can instantly escape to a distance of a hundred miles."

"But if they only manage to escape a hundred miles, the people from the Hehuan Sect and the Myriad Poison Valley will soon catch up. These Elders from the Hehuan Sect and the Myriad Poison Valley certainly don't lack Talisman for pursuit."

"That's right. But my goal isn't to escape, but to buy you time. Then I'll give you a batch of Talisman and Medicinal Pills."

"What are you up to?"

"You Guardian me; I need time to break through."
