Everything Was Going According to Plan
The Immortal Fairy was furious. Tang Yunsheng, as her follower, didn't even have the most basic loyalty!
Imagine that in High Antiquity times, she was a powerful ruler, with an entire planet's inhabitants devoted to her, considering it an honor to be her follower, and regarding her words as the ultimate truth.
Lu Yang thought to himself, "Come on, this is the result of believing in their imagined perfect immortal. If the Immortal Sect knew what the real Immortal Immortal was like, I would believe they would disband the entire sect the next day, let alone be loyal."
At the very least, Lu Yang, the cult leader, thinks about resigning every day.
If even the founder of a religion is like this, then ordinary believers are even more so.
Wait, why not change our approach and have the Immortal Fairy resign, so the Immortal Cult can collectively switch its beliefs?
The more Lu Yang thought about it, the better he felt this idea was.
Lu Yang was lost in thought, but he wasn't panicked. With his senior sister there, they wouldn't get hurt.
The problem now is that we don't know how to deal with Tang Yunsheng.
If we kill them, the follow-up work will be difficult; if we don't kill them, the three of them will be finished. It's a dilemma.
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were not afraid. Before they came, Lu Yang had said that everything was in Senior Sister's plan and there would be no problems.
With the title "Senior Sister," isn't that more reliable than anything else?
Tang Yunsheng raised his hand and took out a blood-red broadsword wrapped with vengeful ghosts and wronged spirits from his storage space. Seeing that Lu Yang and the other two did not move, he assumed that they had lost the will to resist.
That's true; it's a normal reaction when faced with an absolute difference in status.
Tang Yunsheng had seen countless cultivators like Lu Yang who resigned themselves to their fate.
Kill!
Tang Yunsheng exuded a chilling aura; he was clearly a notorious murderer.
He revealed a ferocious smile, leaped high into the air, filled with boundless killing intent, and intended to kill the three men with a single blow, leaving no trace of their bodies!
At that moment, the space in front of the giant rock distorted, and the Immortal Cult Leader stretched and walked out from Backup Outpost No. 5.
He told others to tidy up inside while he came out to rest.
Then he saw Tang Yunsheng raising a blood-stained knife, jumping high, about to kill Lu Yang and the other two. Lu Yang and the other two didn't move, as if they were terrified.
Cult Leader: "..."
Tang Yunsheng: "..."
The cult leader was completely bewildered; what was going on?
"Tang Yunsheng, what are you doing!" Realizing this was not the time to ask questions, the cult leader shouted and fiercely grabbed Tang Yunsheng, his bones cracking.
"Wait, Master, I can explain..." Tang Yunsheng panicked. What was going on? He had just randomly chosen a deserted spot, how did a cult leader suddenly appear?
Ignoring Tang Yunsheng's nonsense and disregarding the consequences, the cult leader brutally swept through Tang Yunsheng's mental space with his Divine Sense, disrupting Tang Yunsheng's mind and gaining knowledge of his memories.
To become the leader of a demonic cult, one is naturally no benevolent person; he has done many things like murder, robbery, and scanning of mental spaces.
The cult leader finally understood the whole story.
Lu Yang and his two companions had finally managed to infiltrate the Ask Dao Sect, but their plan completely failed due to the actions of the two vice sect leaders, Liu and Gao.
That wasn't the end of it. After Liu and Gao's failure, they informed Vice Leader Jin that he was a traitor. Lu Yang and the other two were loyal and determined to go to headquarters to tell him the news, but Tang Yunsheng, for his own selfish reasons, wanted to kill them to silence them.
"You bastard!" The sect leader crushed Tang Yunsheng to death. If it weren't for his accidental appearance, Lu Yang and the other two demonic seeds who were wholeheartedly devoted to the Immortal Sect would have died here!
In fact, after Tang Yunsheng was searched by Divine Sense, he had become an idiot and was no different from a dead man.
"You three have suffered," the cult leader comforted the three, as this was the first time he had seen Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, and Man Gu.
A man of exceptional talent, a pillar of the Demonic Sect, and a future pillar of the state.
Lu Yang: "..."
Lu Yang heard Tang Yunsheng call out "Sect Leader" before he died, so the middle-aged man in front of him must be the leader of the Immortal Sect?
Did he just come out from backup outpost number five?
Did the three of them gain the leader's trust?
A series of questions popped into Lu Yang's mind.
Was a step missing? How did the trip achieve its purpose?
Within the spiritual space, the eldest sister remained unmoved, still possessing that detached air, and said, "Everything is proceeding according to plan."
The Immortal Fairy looked at her senior sister with admiration. This little girl was so amazing and cunning; she herself couldn't do that.
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu also thought this was part of their senior sister's plan, feeling that as expected of their senior sister, nothing could escape her calculations.
With my senior sister around, I feel at ease.
Only Lu Yang looked strange, suspecting that these were all coincidences.
But considering his senior sister's strength, he felt that the coincidence was also part of the plan.
Yes, Senior Sister's plan is perfect.
Originally, the sect leader thought that Lu Yang and the other two were all talented individuals with good potential, making them suitable for being possessed by immortal immortals. However, he was also worried that if these three died in the Ask Dao Sect, they might be Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect and therefore untrustworthy. He couldn't invite them to participate in the test.
Now that he has witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and with Tang Yunsheng's memories as a guarantee, all doubts have vanished.
"As for Vice Leader Jin's matter, the three of you must not tell anyone. I hope that only the four of us know about this." The leader's statement that Vice Leader Jin was a traitor must have been a betrayal by Liu and Gao before their deaths.
The immortal fairy nodded.
The eldest sister nodded.
The Immortal Fairy nodded halfway, then frowned. "This person is so strange, why do I sense a familiar aura from him?"
This aura is too faint; one needs to sense it carefully. "It resembles an immortal Dao fruit, but not entirely; it's strange."
Hearing the Immortal Fairy's mutterings, Yun Zhi raised an eyebrow, feeling that the truth about the Immortal Cult seemed somewhat different from what she had imagined.
The cult leader personally led Lu Yang and the other two into backup stronghold number five.
Lu Yang and his two companions finally arrived at the headquarters of the Immortal Cult, but the scene was different from what they had imagined.
The headquarters of the Immortal Cult in my imagination should, if not give off a feeling of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, at least have a terrifying atmosphere of an Old Devil lurking in the shadows.
In reality, at the headquarters of the Immortal Cult, believers flew around, moved bricks, sawed trees, built houses and altars, and engaged in large-scale construction.
The sect leader casually said, "To be on the safe side and avoid being tracked by the Ask Dao Sect, our sect recently relocated. Although everything has been moved here, it still needs to be organized and rebuilt."
"The three of you have come at the right time. Our sect is preparing to hold an internal selection. Soon, a large number of believers in the Foundation Establishment Realm and Qi Refining stages will come. You will compete on the same stage, and the most outstanding one will be favored by the Immortal."
"Alright, that's all for now. The three of you can stay here for the time being. Someone will notify you when the selection begins. I have other things to attend to."
After saying this, the cult leader hurriedly left.
The Immortal Cult has run out of strongholds; he needs to select three more as a precaution.
He became the leader not only because of his cultivation level, but also because of his caution.
