The Curse Backfired
Curses are a manifestation of cause and effect.
For an ordinary person to cast Curse, they must first pay a corresponding price.
For example, Meng Jingzhou's self-taught "Single Curse Fist" comes at the cost of not losing his primordial yang energy before becoming an immortal.
The Imperial Preceptor grasped the rudiments of the Dao of Cause and Effect without having to pay a price.
The Seven Calamities and Eight Sufferings are a concept proposed by Buddhism, encompassing all the suffering in the world. The Seven Calamities and Eight Sufferings can be said to be the highest level of Curse. Compared with the Seven Calamities and Eight Sufferings, Meng Jingzhou's Single Curse Fist is not even worthy of carrying shoes.
After a series of blows, the Imperial Preceptor finally realized that with the Immortal Fairy and Yun Zhi, who could interrupt his desperate attacks, there was absolutely no way he could escape.
Since we can't escape, we might as well drag someone down with us, even if it means risking our lives!
Of all his enemies, Lu Yang had the lowest cultivation level, and all the cultivators from the Great Yu Dynasty who came to the Ask Dao Sect originated from Lu Yang.
Every time their plan failed, Lu Yang was there.
The capture of the Black and White Venerables means that the other subordinates who infiltrated the Ask Dao Sect have also been captured.
Completely annihilated!
It's less that the Ask Dao Sect prevented the restoration of the Great Yu Dynasty, and more that Lu Yang was the stumbling block that stopped it!
It doesn't matter that he was captured. The Great Yu has a master and some sleeping cultivators from the middle and late stages of the Great Yu era. There is always hope for its rise.
Then let's get rid of Lu Yang!
He placed the most painful and cruel Curse on Lu Yang, saying that even if Lu Yang were at the Golden Core stage, or even at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he would still die!
In the eyes of the Imperial Preceptor, shackles descended from the sky, assembled, and, carrying blood and punishment, came to earth, bringing the most painful punishment to humankind.
These shackles represent Curses, the manifestation of Curses. Even those who are proficient in the Law Technique of cause and effect cannot see them. Only a semi-immortal like the Imperial Preceptor, who has studied cause and effect and condensed the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit of Cause and Effect, can see all of this!
The shackles were heavy, emitting a clanging and rattling sound like the clatter of a Daoist oracle.
They dared to get so close to me; now it's too late for them to regret it!
The Imperial Preceptor observed these people's expressions with great interest, hoping to see their faces filled with regret and sorrow—regret for underestimating themselves, and sadness that Lu Yang was powerless to reverse the situation.
He saw that Lu Yang's expression remained unchanged, that the Immortal Fairy looked puzzled, and that Yun Zhi was expressionless.
There was none of the regret and sorrow he wanted to see.
As the shackles approached Lu Yang was unexpectedly enveloped in golden light, revealing two lines representing cause and effect. These two extremely thick lines wrapped around his body, one connecting to the Immortal Fairy and the other to Yun Zhi.
The shackles bounced off Lu Yang and landed on the Imperial Preceptor.
The Imperial Preceptor watched helplessly as the Curse backfired, letting out a furious roar of despair, "No!!"
What's the story behind this kid's karma?
It's just two lines of cause and effect, yet they blocked the Curse they were so proud of?!
The one slapping himself is an immortal. How could an immortal have such a heavy karmic connection with a mortal?
There was another factor that interrupted the spellcasting: her karmic connection with Lu Yang also blocked the Curse!
The fact that the Curse was blocked solely by cause and effect suggests that the other party is also an immortal!
These two people, whose beauty is beyond words, are like immortals!
What a joke! How could a small sect possibly have two immortals?
The Imperial Preceptor has lived for 20,000 years and has never heard of any sect having two immortals.
Let alone sects, even their Great Yu Dynasty doesn't have any.
What exactly is this Ask Dao Sect? Even the most dangerous descriptions of it are insufficient to describe its perilous nature.
Even attacking the imperial palace would be safer than coming to the Ask Dao Sect.
The Imperial Preceptor felt a fire burning in his heart, making him roll on the ground, as if a water balloon was covering his head, making him look like an ordinary person and suffocating him.
The Curse backfires, manifesting as the fire and water tribulations among the seven tribulations.
What's going on?
Lu Yang was puzzled. The Imperial Preceptor first glared at him fiercely, then recited a bunch of things that he couldn't even hear clearly. After that, he rolled on the ground, begging to die and wailing incessantly.
"The Curse backfired. He just tried to Curse you with the Seven Tribulations and Eight Sufferings, but you have this immortal protecting you, so you're not afraid of these Curses. As the caster, he's now trapped in the Curse."
The Immortal Fairy looked at the Imperial Preceptor as if he were a fool; indeed, he wasn't very bright.
Seeing that the Imperial Preceptor's trump cards were easily neutralized time and time again, the Black and White Venerable's heart sank to the bottom.
The Ask Dao Sect's foundation is unfathomable.
"Boss, can you look after me too?" the third leader said slyly as he leaned closer.
The immortal fairy glanced at him and waved her hand. "Go away, go away. Why would I protect you? If you're Curse, you can just self-destruct a few times and the Curse will be almost gone."
The third leader slunk away, continuing his chat with the Black and White Venerable.
"Brother, how did you get caught? Were you with this idiot rolling on the ground, infiltrating the Ask Dao Sect? Don't you know the Ask Dao Sect is our boss's territory?"
"Back in the day, even the Four Immortals of High Antiquity dared not easily come to my leader's territory. When they did come, they were extremely cautious, not daring to even breathe loudly."
Black and White Venerable: "..."
Damn it, stop talking. The more you say, the more I regret it.
"Luckily, I joined the Ask Dao Sect in advance, otherwise I would have been tortured like you." The third leader was glad that he had admitted defeat in time. Seeing that the Immortal Fairy was his superior, he surrendered on the spot.
"So, are you a guest elder or an elder of the Ask Dao Sect now?"
"Prisoner."
Black and White Venerable: "..."
"In any case, we've finally wiped out all the Great Yu cultivators. Congratulations!" Lu Yang clapped his hands. He'd been having bad luck lately, always running into Great Yu cultivators whenever he went out. This time, he finally didn't have to worry about that anymore.
"Hehe, isn't this all thanks to my excellent management as acting Sect Master?" The Immortal Fairy put her hands on her hips, beaming from ear to ear.
"The fairy is wise! With the fairy here, what are the cultivators of the Great Yu Dynasty worth mentioning!" Lu Yang continued to applaud, showering the immortal fairy with compliments.
"To wipe them all out in one fell swoop?" Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, the Black and White Venerable immediately sensed something was amiss.
Lu Yang turned to the Black and White Venerable with a grin and said casually, "You know the sixth Emperor Yu, Wu Youdao, right? He's here too. I captured him with the fairy."
"His Majesty has been captured?!" The Black and White Venerable's eyes widened in fury. After Wu Youdao went missing during the battle of Hanshui City, he had assumed that Wu Youdao and the others were seriously injured and hiding somewhere to recuperate. He never expected that they had been captured by your Ask Dao Sect?
This Lu Yang is indeed an obstacle for their Great Yu!
I thought that Lu Yang's influence on the plan in Hanshui City was to expose Huang Ming's existence, but I never expected that even His Majesty would be captured by Lu Yang.
The eldest sister paid no attention to Lu Yang and the Immortal Fairy's boasting; she was preparing to interrogate the Imperial Preceptor, who was rolling on the ground and howling in pain.
"I'll ask, you answer."
"Ahh!"
"How many cultivators does your Great Yu have in total?"
"Ahh!"
"After this defeat, does the Great Yu Dynasty have any backup plans?"
"Ahh!"
The Imperial Preceptor wasn't refusing to be summoned, but the seven trials and eight tribulations were too severe, causing him excruciating pain, rendering him unable to utter a single word.
Yun Zhi felt somewhat helpless; she had interrogated countless people, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
