Immortal Sect Civil War

Emperor Xia recalled that, apart from always guessing that Lu Yang would lose, he should not have done anything else to provoke Lu Yang.

Considering that the person inside the treasure box cannot sense any external movements, the answer is obvious— Lu Yang simply wants to beat himself up.

Emperor Xia would never engage in a one-on-one fight with Lu Yang.

"Are you kidding? Even the Master of Abstinence from Killing lost. I'm not known for my martial arts skills. If I went up there, I'd definitely get beaten even worse than Luo Hongxia."

Judging from Lu Yang's ruthless methods, Luo Hongxia gnawed on tree leaves, Yang Ding became a monk, and the master returned to secular life, they probably wouldn't respect the elderly or care for the young, nor would they respect this pitiful old man who is like a candle flickering in the wind.

Clap clap clap

He clapped lightly, as if he hadn't heard the Immortal Fairy's challenge, with a gentle, warm smile.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! As expected of a young prodigy, possessing such combat strength at such a young age, his future is limitless!"

The Immortal Fairy nodded, accepting Emperor Xia's praise without hesitation. It was only natural; her invincible power was earned through hard work, defeating numerous opponents and successfully achieving immortality.

"So, do you want to fight me?"

Despite his temporary deafness, Emperor Xia spoke sternly to Lu Yang: "Sect Master Lu, you have achieved fame at a young age, displaying remarkable talent and high spirits. In the future, you will surely have a place in this great era!"

The Immortal Fairy continued to nod. As the leader of the Five Immortals of High Antiquity, she was invincible. After her unexpected death and rebirth, she discovered that the world had forgotten her name and legends. With the arrival of a great era, she was determined to reclaim everything that belonged to her and restore the glory of High Antiquity.

"I like hearing that. Now, how about we have a go?"

Emperor Xia continued, "Although your master is the Silent Daoist and cannot serve as an official in the court, you are still a citizen of my Great Xia. Once you step down from your position as Sect Master, I will grant you permission to enter the court without bowing, to pay homage without using your name, and to wear a sword and shoes in the palace."

This reward is no small matter; one must perform great deeds to receive such an honor, and it is enough to make one's name go down in history.

Leaving aside Lu Yang's extraordinary combat prowess in eliminating the leaders of the four great immortal sects, his crucial role in destroying the Immortal Sect and his feat of establishing the Heavenly Court Sect to stabilize the Nine Nether Sect were enough to warrant such a reward from the Xia Emperor.

Of course, the real reason was that Emperor Xia wanted to buy time.

Emperor Xia frantically winked at Qiu Jin'an and the others, urging them to change the subject.

He had given up on Yun Zhi. He gave Yun Zhi a wink, but Yun Zhi gave him a blank look in return.

Qiu Jin'an coughed twice, praising Lu Yang as if he hadn't been the one who had just been beaten. "Sect Master's combat awareness is outstanding. Although I held back, it's truly remarkable that you could force me to this point. Thinking back to when I was in the Golden Core stage, I was invincible and never suffered a defeat."

Yang Ding nodded, stroking his shiny bald head, and commented on the battle that had just taken place.

"Well said. Sect Master Lu 'Sect Master fighting spirit is unparalleled in my life. He is a natural-born fighter, having mastered the essence of fist and technique at such a young age. He truly deserves to be Fellow Daoist Yun's junior brother. It's a pity that I was bullying him when I fought him earlier, and I didn't dare to use my full strength, which is why I was defeated. If I were truly at the Golden Core stage, I would definitely have a good match with Sect Master Lu. I've never been afraid of anyone in the Golden Core stage."

Luo Hongxia looked at the two shameless people with disdain, feeling that it was a disgrace to be a fellow sect leader of the immortal sect with them.

"Sect Master Lu's Law Technique are also quite impressive, unlike anything I've ever heard of before. It seems to be his own unique style. With just this one technique, defeating those rogue cultivators who have scattered their cultivation and are rebuilding their power wouldn't be a problem. If I were still at the Golden Core stage, I would only have a 90% chance of winning against those cultivators who have scattered their cultivation and are rebuilding their power, which is not worth mentioning."

What is the position of a sect leader in the Immortal Sect? Not only is high cultivation required, but the sect leader also represents the sect's reputation. The requirements are extremely high. Lu Yang felt that the three of them were indeed worthy of being sect leaders in the Immortal Sect. Their thick skin was comparable to his master's.

The Immortal Fairy's attention was successfully diverted, and she didn't mention the duel with Emperor Xia again. Instead, she asked curiously, "Since all three of you are so powerful at the Golden Core stage, who is the strongest?"

"Haha, what a question! I was strongest when I was in the Golden Core stage," the three sect leaders said in unison.

Upon hearing this, the air fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Even Lu Yang, who was in the mental space, could feel the tense and ominous atmosphere.

The three sect leaders exchanged a glance, shifted their feet, and stood apart, slightly wary.

Qiu Jin'an narrowed his eyes slightly, said "Oh" casually, and said, "Isn't I the strongest Golden Core cultivator? When I was in the Golden Core stage, I challenged opponents of higher levels. I even killed one branch of the Immortal Sect. The branch leader and deputy branch leader were both in the Nascent Soul Realm, and I captured them alive."

Yang Ding sneered, "Ridiculous! I was only locked up because that old scoundrel Bu Yu tricked me. Otherwise, I would have been famous throughout the world long ago. It's not like anyone can't beat Nascent Soul Realm!"

Luo Hongxia was also full of confidence and refused to be outdone. "When we were in the Golden Core stage, we were united against the Nine Sons of the Ask Dao Sect, but we never had a chance to fight them. Now it seems that the time is just right."

"Let's go!"

"Who's afraid of who!"

"Beat!"

Luo Hongxia activated the treasure box, which emitted three beams of light that sucked the three people into it, suppressing their cultivation to the Golden Core stage.

The three entered the box, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and the air became quiet again.

The Immortal Fairy blinked, completely bewildered as to why the three of them had suddenly started fighting.

"They say the Five Great Immortal Sects are united against a common enemy, but they're not united at all," she muttered. Even the five High Antiquity immortals were more united than this.

Lu Yang: "..."

Fairy, would you like to guess why they're fighting?

After waiting for a while, the Immortal Fairy saw that the treasure box had not moved for a long time, and it was always difficult to decide the winner in a short time.

"Are you alright now? If you're alright, let's go back?" With fewer people in the meeting, the Immortal Fairy's enthusiasm waned. Anyway, the things to be discussed in the meeting had been said, and the people had been dealt with, so it was time to go back.

As the acting Sect Master, she had to manage the vast Ask Dao Sect, handling countless affairs every day.

"It's alright, go back now." Emperor Xia's gaze towards Lu Yang was clearly different; he wanted to quickly persuade this powerful figure to return home.

Even when the Silent Daoist was in the Golden Core stage, he wasn't this capable of causing trouble.

"Let's go." Yun Zhi was very satisfied with the Immortal Fairy's performance; she hadn't caused any major trouble.

The Immortal Fairy swung her arms and swaggered out of the palace, with Yun Zhi following behind, half-staggered, looking very elegant.

The two rode away on clouds, leaving only Emperor Xia and Master Jiesha behind.

"Master, you..."

Without saying another word, the Master of Abstinence from Killing vanished into thin air.

Actually, he also wanted to enter the treasure box and show Qiu Jin'an and the other juniors what it meant to be invincible at the Golden Core stage, but as an elder, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Of course, there was another reason: he suspected that if he entered the treasure box, he would face a combined attack from three opponents, and he estimated that he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

It's hard to master the art of keeping silent. During meetings, he could only nod and shake his head, unable to speak, which made him feel incredibly stifled.

The second update will be at 11 PM.
