The Scheme to Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain

"Damn it, that old scoundrel Bu Yu ran so fast!"

"You acted too soon! I told you before that we should wait until he left the Ask Dao Sect before making a move! But you attacked the moment he showed his face. If I were you, I would have run too!"

"I couldn't help it, I was too excited to see my enemy, I couldn't hold back."

"Now what do you think we should do?"

"There is a solution, but we're unsure if it will work."

"What method?"

"Don't forget, we're a marriage proposal team..."

Recalling the dense barrage of attacks just now, the Silent Daoist was still shaken. If he had taken a round of that, it was hard to say whether he would have been badly injured or killed.

"Those people from the Chamber of Commerce, is that how you treat customers? They wouldn't even sell me insurance!"

The Silent Daoist was quite indignant, feeling that the people in the Chamber of Commerce were not qualified businessmen, as they didn't make money even when they had it. He wanted to buy the most expensive insurance.

"So this is the correct way to comprehend the way of the sword."

Lu Yang emerged from his state of enlightenment and felt that his understanding of swordsmanship had reached a new level. The young master Lu, who had fought him to a draw three months ago, was no longer his match!

He opened his eyes and saw his senior sister handing him a stack of red, festive envelopes.

"What's this?"

"The marriage proposal team has sent a formal invitation, hoping to enter the Ask Dao Sect and discuss the marriage with you in person."

Lu Yang casually picked up an invitation, the source of which was none other than the first-class sect, White Horse Temple.

"... Am I that popular?"

If Meng Jingzhou saw this, he'd be so envious he'd grind his teeth to dust.

"Your popularity is one reason, but the main reason is that they want to join a sect and find a master."

"Master hasn't left yet?" Lu Yang asked in surprise. He thought that given his master's restless nature, he would have left after teaching him.

No, it's not that he couldn't sit still. When he was in prison, he always sat there obediently until his sentence was served and he was released.

"I was about to leave, but someone blocked the door."

To be honest, Lu Yang wasn't surprised at all by what happened; on the contrary, he felt it was only natural.

As far as he knew, his master's whereabouts were sold for exorbitant prices on the black market, and were in such high demand that they were priceless. Any information about his master's whereabouts would be bought up in the shortest possible time, which showed how popular his master was.

Similarly, the news of Master's return to the sect would naturally spread in the shortest possible time.

You must know that Master's enemies are all at the Body Integration Realm, and each of them flies incredibly fast. If someone is proficient in spatial Law Technique, they will arrive even faster.

He now feels that understanding the way of the sword can also be done with the purpose of "protection".

You don't need to protect others; you mainly need to protect yourself.

"So what should we do now?"

Looking at this huge stack of marriage invitations, Lu Yang felt a headache coming on. They had come to propose marriage, and if he turned them away, the Ask Dao Sect would be in the wrong.

"There are two options," the senior sister said, putting down the invitation.

"One is to give them a reply as soon as possible, agreeing to let them enter the sect and find their master; then their goal will be achieved."

Lu Yang shook his head; this plan definitely wouldn't work.

"What about the second option?"

"Hand over your master."

Lu Yang: "..."

The second option is not as good as the first.

"Isn't Master a master of transformation techniques? Can't he transform into someone else and sneak out?"

The eldest disciple shook her head, rejecting the plan. "White Horse Temple has brought out its most prized treasure, the Demon-Revealing Mirror, which can see through any disguise."

"And even if they don't see through the disguise and Master successfully slips away, they won't know about this and will still be waiting at the door to propose marriage to you."

"Let's hand over our master."

Considering that handing over the Silent Daoist was a highly risky matter, the two first went to Elixir Cauldron Peak to find the Seventh Elder.

"Junior Nephew Yun, Junior Nephew Lu?" The Seventh Elder was quite surprised to see the two arrive, as it was rare for two people to come looking for him at the same time.

Is there something you need?

Since it concerned his master, he couldn't be too blunt. Lu Yang organized his words and said, "Suppose, I mean suppose, there is a very powerful Body Integration Realm, but he has many enemies, all of whom are also at the Body Integration Realm. This Body Integration Realm cultivator is unlucky and is surrounded by his enemies. I estimate there are fifty or sixty of the Body Integration Realm."

"What kind of elixir could have allowed him to survive being surrounded by these people?"

Lu Yang hadn't held out much hope, but to his surprise, the Seventh Elder nodded. "Legend has it that there was a High Antiquity elixir called the Fertility Pill. Nephew Lu, have you seen the Pill Formula?"

"As long as the fertility pill is taken, and this unfortunate Body Integration Realm results in pregnancy, out of humanitarian considerations, the perpetrators shouldn't go too far in the beating."

"... This Body Integration Realm is male, are there any other methods?"

"You could also pray that he retains his whole body. After tens or hundreds of thousands of years, the corpse might develop sentience, which would be equivalent to resurrection. However, this is just a legend. Who knows if it will still be him that is resurrected?"

Are there any more reliable solutions?

"Yes, there is. The one you mentioned who is in the Body Integration Realm must be a wicked and heinous criminal. If we report him to the authorities and have him arrested, he will lose his freedom, but at least he can save his life."

Lu Yang and his senior sister thought this was a good plan.

"Oh, you're here." The Silent Daoist found Lu Yang and his senior sister in the Alchemy Chamber, and also asked the Seventh Elder for several bottles of top-grade healing pills.

"Just wanted to let you know, I'm leaving."

Lu Yang was shocked. He hadn't even made up his mind to betray his family and his master, and now his master was leaving on his own?

"Aren't you afraid of those people at the door anymore?"

"We definitely can't win by fighting, but I have other ways."

"What method?"

"I instructed my elder brother to leave the Ask Dao Sect and create a disturbance in the neighboring state, making those people think I had already left the Ask Dao Sect. They would then flock to the neighboring state, giving me the opportunity to leave the sect."

The Silent Daoist laughed smugly. He had roamed the world for two thousand years; to think he could capture him was simply a pipe dream.

As the Silent Daoist had planned, the Grand Elder, as the eldest of the Nine Sons of the Ask Dao Sect, did not usually do many things that would make people hate him. At least, there were no enemies in this marriage proposal team.

The Grand Elder traveled to the neighboring state, impersonating the Silent Daoist to tell the latest chapter of "The Ask Dao Sect - Meng Jingzhou Chapter." He recounted how Young Master Meng, despite his immense wealth, remained chaste, devoted himself to cultivation, and abstained from women. He even went so far as to place Curse on himself, preventing him from seeing any women for a long period of time, which earned him great respect.

Upon learning that the Silent Old Thief was in the neighboring state, and considering his skill in hiding, the marriage proposal team had no suspicions and immediately set off for the neighboring state.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Silent Daoist successfully escaped from the Ask Dao Sect.

After his master left, Lu Yang sighed slightly. He had also considered this method, which could be considered the safest method, but he was unwilling to let his master use it.

He always felt that letting his master leave the Ask Dao Sect safely would be against his conscience.

A few days later, someone unexpectedly found Lu Yang.

"Senior Brother Lu, can you come with me on a mission?" Tao Yaoye invited with a smile.
