Triumphant Return
"How do you use my power?" Yun Zhi looked at Lu Yang, somewhat puzzled. Judging from Lu Yang's experience, he was not qualified to come into contact with such a profound and difficult spell as the Divine Descent Law Technique.
"Uh... I just happened to get my hands on a set of imitative boxing techniques."
"When I was practicing boxing, I thought, imitative boxing is a style of boxing that imitates an object to gain an advantage over the opponent, so why should I be confined to imitating animals? Humans are also objects that can be imitated."
"Of all the people I know, you are the strongest, Senior Sister. I imitated you and gained your power."
Yun Zhi: "..."
She was Law Technique from a young age and could be called a Law Technique prodigy. She could learn any Law Technique after seeing it once, and she could also correct its flaws and make it more perfect. She also deduced many long-lost Law Technique, such as the Divine Descent spell.
But she had never seen Lu Yang like this before.
"Even if I were to give you a fraction of my power, it would be more than you can handle in your current state. Do not use this kind of fist technique lightly."
Lu Yang understood what his senior sister meant: If you have difficulties, solve them yourself; don't call me over unless it's absolutely necessary.
"And you, leave Lu Yang's body."
The immortal fairy, unusually resolute, shook her head and refused. "I can't live without him."
"Hmm?" Yun Zhi's voice rose two octaves, and the Immortal Fairy, seeing the situation was not right, quickly added an explanation.
"I have just been resurrected, and my immortal soul is fragile. I need a body to reside in. Lu Yang called out my name, which resurrected me. This caused a special karmic connection between us. This karmic connection forces me to reside in his body. Only when this special karmic connection disappears and my immortal soul grows stronger can I leave his spiritual world."
Lu Yang pondered, "Like a ten-month pregnancy?"
The Immortal Fairy retorted angrily, "Could you give me a more fitting example?!"
Lu Yang shrugged; his imagination was lacking, and he couldn't think of a better example.
"I can also shatter your immortal soul directly, and then I will revive you." The senior sister's gaze fell on the immortal fairy, who felt immense pressure on her.
"No, that won't work. How did you find out my name? You found it from Lu Yang. Essentially, Lu Yang resurrected me. Your method won't work."
Yun Zhi remained silent for a moment, then made a hand Hand Seals with one hand, casting a golden mark that was imprinted on Lu Yang's mental space before fading and disappearing.
"This is..."
"This is a divine soul imprint I left behind. If you do anything detrimental to him, this imprint will activate and shatter your immortal soul. Then you can hope that some fool will remember your name 300,000 years from now." The warning was clearly evident.
The immortal fairy shivered.
"Actually, you don't need to be so wary of me. After my immortal soul recovers, I can directly reshape my immortal body without needing to possess another body. Besides, I need to sleep to recover my power, and I don't know when I will wake up."
As she spoke, the Immortal Fairy yawned.
"Even immortals get tired?" Lu Yang asked in surprise.
The Immortal Fairy yawned repeatedly. "It's all because of the fight just now; it drained most of my power..."
As she spoke, the immortal fairy's eyelids drooped, and she fell asleep. "Goodnight, don't wake me before the end of the world."
Once Yun Zhi confirmed that the Immortal Fairy was truly asleep, she left the spiritual space and appeared in the mortal world as a divine soul.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister!" Meng Jingzhou greeted her with unprecedented politeness.
"Greetings, Senior Sister." Man Gu was as honest as ever. Although he had never done anything bad, he was afraid of Senior Sister for some reason.
"Do not tell anyone about the resurrection of the Immortal Fairy."
"Yes!" the two shouted in unison.
Old Ma also called out.
"Also, don't linger on the way, hurry back to the Ask Dao Sect!" Yun Zhi left these words, her divine soul transforming into a stream of light as she returned to the Ask Dao Sect to continue the meeting.
The three abandoned their sightseeing plans, got into the carriage, and hurried away.
"Hmm? How come it's so fast?" Meng Jingzhou could see the scenery outside the carriage window, and he saw that the scenery was changing rapidly, ten times faster than before!
The old horse, no longer slow as before, moved with incredible speed, using spatial Law Technique to traverse through space at breakneck speed. What would normally be a journey of several days was Ask Dao Sect in half a day.
Old Ma knew that Yun Zhi's last words, "Hurry back to the Ask Dao Sect," were not directed at the three of them, but at himself.
"Haha, Ask Dao Sect, I'm back again!" Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily, arms outstretched, as if returning home in glory.
What were those three doing, enduring humiliation and hardship, serving as slaves in the Demonic Sect and painstakingly pretending to be bad people, all for? Wasn't it all to gain contribution points and show off how great they were!
Therefore, the first thing the three did upon returning to their sect was to go to the mission hall to exchange for contribution points.
They walked into the mission hall with their heads held high and chests puffed out, looking down on everyone else, like three large crabs that had just come ashore.
Inside the mission hall, missions collected from various places covered the walls, and the senior students were all looking for suitable missions.
Lu Yang noticed that the quest to find the Nascent Soul Realm two-winged tiger was still hanging on the wall, indicating that Daoist Li Hong of Shanhaiguan had not yet found his beloved little pet.
The mission to discover a hidden paradise in Kunwu Mountain has been removed, presumably because the exploration has been completed.
New tasks are also being assigned, such as discovering traces of the Nascent Soul Realm Devil Cultivator in a certain place and needing to send people to eliminate them, discovering High Antiquity ruins in a certain place and needing to form a team to explore them, or two powerful beings arguing and getting a divorce and needing someone to mediate, etc.
Seeing their amusing walking posture, the senior student on duty at the front desk joked, "Did you three junior brothers save the world?"
Lu Yang replied modestly, "More or less. We've completed a classified mission and need to report to the Grand Elder."
The senior receptionist's expression hardened. Completing the classified mission was of utmost importance, something beyond his control; no one dared to joke about it. "The Grand Elder is currently in a meeting in the council hall. Senior Brother Dai is overseeing the mission in the main hall. How about the three of you report to him?"
The meeting in the council hall has been going on for most of the day and is still not over.
The Mission Hall is located on Rewards and Punishments Peak, the mountain where the Grand Elder resides. When the Grand Elder is not present, Dai Bufan is in charge of all matters related to Rewards and Punishments Peak.
"Please inform them, senior brother."
Dai Bufan was puzzled when he heard his junior brother's message. He didn't remember assigning any confidential missions to Lu Yang and the other two. Could it have been arranged by their master? But that didn't make sense; his master would always tell him what he was assigned.
He suppressed his doubts and said, "Let them in."
"Yes."
The three were invited into the core area of the mission hall. Dai Bufan was lying on a chair, flipping through case files. These were intelligence gathered from various places, including places that could be used as missions.
Dai Bufan put down the case file, picked up his teacup, which contained freshly picked Enlightenment Tea, and said, "Tell me, what have you all been doing?"
Man Gu, showing off his literacy, succinctly stated, "We've joined the Demonic Cult."
"Puff--"
Meng Jingzhou glared at Man Gu and explained to Dai Bufan, "Don't listen to Man Gu's nonsense, we've just joined the Demonic Sect."
