Lu Yang, Still Lost in His Fantasies (Thanks to Divine Shadow Thunderclap for the Alliance Leader Tip)

None of the five people, including the Silent Daoist, expected that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou would be able to successfully leave the town.

Not to mention that there was a Body Integration Realm guarding Buyi Town, the town's rules, whether explicit or implicit, were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Surviving in Buyi Town is already a challenge, let alone leaving.

How did these two manage to do that?

Without further thought, the Silent Daoist seized the opportunity when the four Body Integration Realm were coughing up blood, their momentum was weakening, and their attention was diverted to Lu Yang and the other two, and suddenly exerted his power.

Azure Sword Qi emanated from his body, undulating lightly like a pool of clear water. The Sword Qi was as nimble as a snake, drawing a graceful curve in the air, and two heads flew off.

The Immortal Fairy exclaimed, "Your master is indeed skilled, enough to rival the top swordsmen of our era. This sword strike severed his physical body and three souls and seven spirits, completely killing two Body Integration Realm."

Lu Yang was amazed. He had fought four opponents alone and even killed two of them when they were off guard. His master was indeed worthy of being called his master.

The scene of the Immortal Fairy and the Silent Daoist's first appearance was so terrible—one was suppressed, and the other was imprisoned in his cave abode for ten years—that Lu Yang subconsciously overlooked their identities.

One of them is High Antiquity immortal, one of the five who became immortals during High Antiquity chaotic era of antiquity, and one of the five most powerful beings in High Antiquity.

The other is the Sect Master of one of the Five Great Immortal Sects. Even the current emperor receives him with the highest honors. He is the youngest among the nine disciples of the Ask Dao Sect, the one who started cultivating the latest, but has the highest combat power.

Ordinary cultivators who have even the slightest connection with these two can rise to prominence and live a carefree life, but Lu Yang doesn't feel that way at all.

"So it really is because Senior Sister is here?" Lu Yang felt he had found the root of the problem.

The two of them suffered a setback on their first appearance, all because of their senior sister.

Now that their senior sister is not around, the two of them finally have a chance to show themselves.

The Silent Daoist drew his sword, gathering his strength, his spirits high, as if he were about to unleash another strike.

Seeing that things were going badly, the other two didn't bother to take their companion's body with them and turned to run.

The Silent Daoist did not pursue further. Although he could strike again, the two were on guard and might be able to defend themselves. If they did, they would counterattack. He himself was not afraid of another battle, but Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou could not withstand the aftershocks of a battle Body Integration Realm cultivators.

"Are you two alright?" The Silent Daoist hurried down to check on the two, and found that they were unharmed, and it seemed that they had been doing quite well in Buyi Town these past few days.

"It's nothing." The two waved their hands, sensing the Spiritual Qi around them. They couldn't help but sigh, it felt so good to have successfully left Buyi Town and mastered spiritual power.

The inability to use Law Technique in Buyi Town somewhat limited their talents.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." The Silent Daoist breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just that those two people escaped."

"Speaking of which, isn't there also a Body Integration Realm in Buyi Town? How did you two resolve it?" The Silent Daoist looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with suspicion. He thought that perhaps Xiao Yun had given Lu Yang a way to save his life, or perhaps the Meng family had given Meng Jingzhou a way to save his life.

Lu Yang found the Silent Daoist trustworthy, so he explained, "Actually, High Antiquity immortal is sealed within me. He can guide my cultivation on a daily basis and provide power in critical moments. Even killing Body Integration Realm cultivator would be no problem for him."

The Silent Daoist looked at Lu Yang with pity, patted Lu Yang's head, thought about his age, and felt relieved.

That's true, sixteen- or seventeen-year-olds are in the fantasy stage.

When he was sixteen, he also fantasized that a High Antiquity ferocious beast was sealed inside his body. If someone angered him, the seal would loosen, the beast's energy would leak out, harming innocent people, and in severe cases, it could even destroy the world and cause irreparable damage. Therefore, in order to seal the ferocious beast inside his body, he had to maintain a cold attitude at all times.

Who hasn't gone through this stage?

What High Antiquity immortal? He's lived for two thousand years and has never seen High Antiquity immortal. This kid Lu Yang is so lucky, not only did he see High Antiquity immortal, but the immortal is even staying inside his body?

This must be a life-saving measure that Xiaoyun left for Lu Yang.

"The High Antiquity immortals you mentioned, are they old men or beautiful women?" the Silent Daoist asked.

Thinking of the Immortal Fairy's appearance, Lu Yang realized that when she was quiet, she was indeed a stunning beauty no less than his senior sister, and said, "Beautiful."

The Daoist who remained silent said, "As expected, I guessed right away. The immortals that people of this age fantasize about are either old men or beautiful women, definitely not teenagers, middle-aged men, or old women."

He looked at Buyi Town, still shrouded in rules, paused, and said, "Let's go to the nearby government office first and let them handle the follow-up matters."

There are too many people in Buyi Town. Although he has superb cultivation, he still needs to leave the problem to professionals when it comes to things that cannot be solved by cultivation alone.

The matter of Buyi Town involves five ancient beings at the Body Integration Realm, which is beyond the scope of what the prefect can handle. Therefore, the Silent Daoist needs to find the governor in charge of this prefecture.

The Great Xia Dynasty divided the Central Continent into seventeen regions, commonly known as the seventeen states. Below the seventeen states were prefectures, and below the prefectures were counties and towns.

Knowing he was lost, the Silent Daoist went to a nearby prefecture to inquire about the situation and learned that they were in Qingzhou, in the western part of the Central Continent.

"Wait, why are we in the western part of the continent?" Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked at the Silent Daoist with suspicion. Didn't they say they were flying south when they left the Ask Dao Sect?

The Silent Daoist chuckled, offering no further explanation, simply telling the two to follow him.

After asking around and locating the location along the way, the three finally found the governor of Qingzhou.

Upon hearing that the Ask Dao Sect Master of the Daoist Path was visiting, the Prefect of Qingzhou immediately set aside all other matters and personally went to greet the Silent Daoist.

As the governor of Qingzhou, he controlled countless resources in the prefecture and was respected and flattered by many. However, in terms of status and cultivation, he was far inferior to the Silent Daoist.

The Silent Daoist didn't engage in much small talk, but went straight to explaining the situation in Buyi Town, leaving specific details for Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to fill in.

When the governor of Qingzhou heard about what had happened in Buyi Town, he broke out in a cold sweat. Five ancient Nascent Body Integration Realm cultivators had revived. Fortunately, the Sect Master of the Ask Dao Sect discovered it in time and handled it properly. If these five had been fully revived and were lurking somewhere in the dynasty, they could have wiped out several prefectures at any time, and countless people would have died.

The governor of Qingzhou immediately made a decision to mobilize local officials at the Spirit Transformation and Body Integration Realm to write letters to the troops stationed in Qingzhou and the imperial court, informing them that two ancient Body Integration Realm had revived and escaped, and urging them to remain vigilant.

As for submitting a memorial to the imperial court requesting that the court commend Ask Dao Sect Zong, there is no time to spare at the moment; we must first resolve the matter concerning the people of Buyi Town.

Lu Yang noticed that the governor of Qingzhou had not mobilized any cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.

The Silent Daoist explained, "The Void Refinement stage is a very special stage. The strength of cultivators at this stage is very unstable, fluctuating wildly. At its peak, they can reach the peak of the Body Integration Realm, while at its lowest, they are only at the Qi Refining stage. Therefore, Void Refinement stage cultivators tend to stay in one place and rarely take action."

"And no one would easily provoke a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage, since you never know what realm they might be at next."
