457: A Chance to Vent His Anger

Having set the meeting date for the second day of the second lunar month, Lu Li focused all his energy on the Lightning Refinement.

He chased the dark clouds every day, enduring at least five lightning strikes in order to Spirit Refinement and adapt to the will of heaven and earth.

The bombardment of thunder can shatter the spirit and create shockwaves in a person's consciousness.

Lu Li was affected to some extent, becoming somewhat irritable and often experiencing a destructive urge for no apparent reason.

"Looks like I've been struck by lightning too often."

Lu Li himself knew what was going on; ultimately, he was too impatient. Everything should be done step by step.

But they couldn't afford to be in a hurry, as the Five Peaks Immortal Sect might make a move at any moment; the Dragon Girl's pregnancy could be exposed at any time; and Izumo Emperor was their mortal enemy.

Add to that the Earth's Earth Core, which could be devoured at any moment... he carries far too much on his shoulders, all requiring power to suppress and resolve.

"Call..."

Lu Li a long sigh of relief, looked at his wives who were cultivating, admired their sexy figures, and had an idea:

Once everything is settled, I'll take them on a trip.

Let's go see the Blue Star, let's go see the universe, admire the beautiful scenery, savor the delicious food, make love endlessly, and create little babies.

"Things like that sound amazing... Hmm, I'd also have to bring Xiao Yu along, and those two foreign women too."

Lu Li started daydreaming, chuckling to herself with amusement.

"That bastard is thinking lewd things again."

Xiao Cha wiped away her sweat and immediately knew what Lu Li was thinking.

Xia Weiyin said:

"Those Governor and sect leaders sent over quite a few beauties, but I sent them all away. If he blames me, you'll have to help bear the consequences."

Xiao Cha patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xia, just say we did this together."

Wan Qing also said, "Sister Xia did the right thing. How can we let some vulgar women taint our young master's body?"

The beauties were quite jealous, making it virtually impossible for Lu Li to steal her affections, but there are always exceptions.

At that moment, Su Qing suddenly contacted him through the Jade Button, her voice somewhat slippery:

[Donkey, come to the Governor of the Two Rivers]

[That little bitch Qiu Yan from the Huashan Sect found me and asked me to call you out so she could give you a secret technique for tribulation lightning.]

Upon hearing this, Lu Li immediately sensed something was amiss.

Everyone wants to give me the Thunder Tribulation Manual, so it's obvious the manual must be problematic.

"I'll go take a look right away."

Lu Li flight and flew towards the former residence of the Governor of the Two Rivers.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Shen Xing is dead, Shen Siyang has defected to the Emperor.

Su Qing, under the guise of being Shen's daughter-in-law, easily seized control of the Shen family's assets, including this super mansion encompassing Chaohu Lake.

When Lu Li, Su Qing came out to greet him first and whispered:

"This little bitch must be acting on orders from her sect to give you a fake manual and trick you into going astray."

"Moreover, she took the token of my Mount Tai Sect. It seems that the Mount Tai Sect and the Huashan Sect have joined forces."

The two arch-enemies had actually joined forces. Lu Li quickly processed the information and asked:

"Then I'll play along and pretend to fall for it?"

"That's too easy on that bitch."

Su Qing said coldly, "She's trying to ruin your path, so she absolutely cannot be let off lightly!"

Lu Li was somewhat puzzled. Did they mean they wouldn't let him off easily, but rather kill him?

With Xiao Yu currently pregnant and himself preparing to break through the tribulation, it's not a good time to start a war with the Huashan Sect.

Su Qing smiled and said, "Qiu Yan came with her disciple. Both of them still possess Yin Essence; you may freely consume it."

"Ah?"

Lu Li was taken aback by this method and was momentarily stunned...

But thinking back to that arrogant, smoking fairy from back then, Lu Li suddenly felt a surge of revenge.

Su Qing sneered, "They came to your door to harm you, why are you being so polite? Just take advantage of them! Let's go!"

She immediately led Lu Li to the "new house" where she had witnessed Shen Siyang's breakthrough years ago.

Qiu Yan and Jiang Haiyan were completely unaware of the allusion here and were waiting with dignified composure.

Upon seeing Lu Li arrive, Jiang Haiyan quickly lowered his head to conceal his dislike.

Qiu Yan greeted them with a smile, cupping her fists in a respectful gesture:

"I had sensed that True Lord Lu was extraordinary from the beginning, and now I see it's true. It hasn't been long, and you've already become one of the most outstanding figures in the world. I'm truly impressed."

Qiu Yan gestured to her disciple and continued:

"This disciple greatly admires you. If you don't mind, True Lord, please keep her by your side as a maid."

Jiang Haiyan's reluctance was practically written all over his face, but Qiu Yan didn't seem to care and continued, staring at Lu Li:

"There's one more thing. The major immortal sects are about to completely annihilate the Hengshan Sect. My sect leader said that as long as True Lord stands with our sect, this <Lightning Refining True Analysis> is yours."

Qiu Yan took out a fragrant copy of "The Lightning Refining True Analysis" from her bosom and handed it over with both hands.

This manual is definitely problematic; it's not only designed to trick Lu Li, but also to coax him into doing something.

The Huashan Sect's wishful thinking was grand, but little did they know that their intentions had already been exposed.

The solution is simple: just feign compliance and wait until you break through the tribulation.

Lu Li accepted the manual and nodded, saying, "I agree to the terms."

With the most important task completed, Qiu Yan's face immediately lit up with joy.

Having rendered meritorious service this time, I am sure to receive a reward from the sect.

However, to make the performance more convincing, she pointed at Jiang Haiyan and said, "So, my disciple will stay?"

Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Forget about this."

Jiang Haiyan was furious at the blunt refusal.

Qiu Yan took out a cigarette and said with a smile, "It seems that young master doesn't like younger women, so how about me?"

This kind of flirting is an essential skill for all "fairies" (women who are considered beautiful and charming), otherwise how could they attract a large number of heroes to serve them?

Unexpectedly, Su Qing suddenly jumped out and said, "Fairy Qiu is pure and immaculate, of course we should savor her properly~"

Qiu Yan's smile turned cold, "Su Qing, what's it to you? You're so unfaithful..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Li suddenly appeared behind her and said:

"Since I still have some Yin Essence, I'll just have to make an effort."

"Wait, wait a minute... Ahhh!!!"

Qiu Yan was stunned and hadn't even reacted when the dump truck floored the accelerator.

Jiang Haiyan was stunned by the scene. Seeing her master suspended in mid-air with his eyes rolled back and bleeding profusely, she rushed to his aid.

But with just a glance from Su Qing, the biomagnetic field of this mere blood transfusion was shattered, leaving it frozen in place, unable to move.

The only sound in the field was the clanging of the harvest. Qiu Yan's forehead veins bulged as she glared fiercely at Su Qing.

Using her woman's intuition, she quickly identified the culprit.

But things have come to this point, and dwelling on past grievances is useless; recovering some losses is the most realistic thing to do.

Qiu Yan channeled her inner energy and used the Huashan Sect's harvesting techniques to fight against Lu Da True Lord.

Su Qing chuckled. Even as a Grandmaster, he hadn't been able to defeat this donkey. How could a mere Innate Realm cultivator think he could turn the tables? He was just waiting to be plucked out of existence.

Sure enough, Qiu Yan's power dissipated in less than two minutes, and all resistance vanished.

A minute later, Lu Li collected the surging Yin Essence.

It is clear and pure, and will not be tainted by a person's character.

This aloof, smoking fairy was finally defeated by True Lord Lu, which can be considered a tribute to the past.
