Chapter Eighteen Young master, you shouldn't have come

A voice rang out, and everyone looked over. They were surprised that someone was approaching at this time.

The moment they saw who it was, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were stunned. Even Elder Dong and the others frowned.

Walking from behind was, naturally, Lu Shui.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were surprised because their young master was still here. Elder Dong was surprised because Lu Shui hadn't been captured.

Lu Shui approached, and Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling became worried. Wasn't he coming to his death?

Zhen Wu immediately said:

"Zhen Ling, take the young master and leave. I'll block them."

Zhen Ling gritted his teeth and finally nodded.

Although Elder Dong and the others were somewhat surprised, it was a good thing that this person had delivered himself to their doorstep.

"Surround them. Don't let them escape."

Everyone focused their attention on Lu Shui. They knew he was the key.

If they controlled him, they would effectively control those two troublesome enemies.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling vigilantly watched their surroundings. They knew they couldn't escape this time.

"Young master, you shouldn't have come," Zhen Wu said angrily. The young master was acting recklessly, and all their efforts were in vain.

Zhen Ling said nothing, but he also felt distressed.

Their young master was just causing them trouble.

If I don't come, you'll all be dead, won't you? Lu Shui said nothing, instead looking at Elder Dong and his group.

He did some calculations and pondered what skill would be suitable.

Soon, he made his decision.

"We're not sure if the Mysterious Book is in your hands, but you definitely have a Treasure on you. Hand it over, and we won't torture you.

But it's impossible for you to live.

If you live, we die.

We're all smart people," Elder Dong said to Lu Shui.

They spoke very directly, just as they had said before, once the arrow is loosed from the bow, there's no turning back.

Once you've started, you have to see it through to the end, even if it's wrong.

Because turning back also means death.

Seeing that these people were about to make a move, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling stood in front of Lu Shui.

They had to risk their lives to find an opportunity to break through the encirclement.

Lu Shui took a step forward. As he passed by Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling, he calmly said:

"Stand down."

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were horrified. What was the young master doing now?

Zhen Ling immediately spoke, saying it wasn't the time for foolishness:

"Young master, you..."

But after saying only a few words, Zhen Ling instantly fell silent. This was because Lu Shui's aura had changed.

It was a world-shattering change.

Lu Shui still stood calmly, but everything around him had changed. His aura surged, and his power churned.

He stood there as if with a mere gesture, he could influence the Myriad Things around him.

At this moment, he gave people an inexplicable sense of palpitation and fear.

Zhen Ling and Zhen Wu exchanged glances. They confirmed it wasn't an illusion.

But how could their young master possess such a terrifying aura?

The Left and Right Protectors and the East and West Elders also looked at Lu Shui with a hint of dread.

Yet, the opponent still appeared to be only Second Tier.

"Take him down," Elder Dong said to the other Faceless Sect disciples.

Those disciples were reluctant but still charged towards Lu Shui.

Lu Shui looked at these people and calmly said:

"Come at me together. That way, you might still have a sliver of hope."

"Arrogant! Cripple him!" Elder Dong immediately ordered.

For some reason, he had an urge to flee.

The Left and Right Protectors felt the same and were even planning to escape.

But at this moment, Lu Shui made his move. He extended a hand and calmly looked at everyone, saying:

"Heavenly Decree Eight Directions."

At this moment, invisible iron chains condensed in the air, instantly sweeping over Elder Dong and everyone else.

The Third Tier cultivators who charged over didn't even have time to resist before they were directly covered by the chains.

Subsequently, these iron chains entangled Elder Dong and the others.

Although Elder Dong and the others were surprised, they still had the ability to resist.

They were constantly attacking the chains, trying to break free from their restraint.

But to their surprise, no matter how they attacked the chains, they couldn't inflict any substantial damage.

They began to feel scared.

"Fellow Daoist, let's talk. We were just confused."

"We sisters can be your servants, Young Master, please show mercy."

Everyone could see that this person was extraordinary. If this continued, no one knew what would happen.

They had to survive this ordeal first.

However, Lu Shui showed no intention of paying them any mind.

Lu Shui looked outside the Sealing Array and said calmly:

"Zhen Wu."

Zhen Wu, who was still in shock, immediately snapped back to attention upon hearing Lu Shui's call and subconsciously replied:

"Your subordinate is here."

Zhen Wu, having regained his senses, felt somewhat bewildered. To be precise, the current Lu Shui was simply unbelievable.

How could this be the same waste young master, the same ignorant young master who only knew how to show off ostentatiously?

The current Lu Shui was truly a Dragon Among Men, a Peerless Prodigy.

"In the Cultivation World, who has an identity that is both special and mysterious?" Lu Shui's voice came through, still as calm as ever.

Zhen Wu pondered for a moment and immediately replied:

"There are roughly three."

"Which three?" Lu Shui asked.

"The first is the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect. Legend has it that the Joyful Union Sect was founded by a Peerless Expert who passed down the Supreme Dual Cultivation Method. No one knows their origin, nor their purpose, and certainly not their gender.

However, since its establishment, the Joyful Union Sect has never actively provoked any forces in the Cultivation World.

Although they appear to be of the demonic path, they are actually quite well-behaved.

Yet, no one has ever seen the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect."

Lu Shui frowned. Mysterious enough, but it gave him a gender-ambiguous impression.

"Continue," Lu Shui said.

Although Zhen Wu didn't know what his Young Master was up to, he continued:

"The second is the Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, the Heavenly Secrets Tower.

This person founded the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Legend has it that he lives in the present and the future, can see through all things' Fortune, and glimpse the Past Future. If one is enlightened by him, they can escape life and death and attain supreme fortune.

This person is only known throughout the world, but no one has ever seen his true appearance."

Trash, was Lu Shui's first thought.

What do you mean by seeing through Fortune, what do you mean by glimpsing the Past Future? Wasn't he crying and begging them, husband and wife, to leave?

Back then, they too had heard of this Heavenly Secrets Tower and specifically sought him out.

Their purpose was to ask him how Mu Xue could get pregnant.

But that guy, the moment he saw them, husband and wife, he exploded on the spot, almost dying.

Then he started playing the victim, talking about having old parents and young children, and how he was just a humble scholar.

Nonsense.

It was not in line with the rumors.

Only later did he realize, wasn't that guy trying to scam them?

He should have sent him on his way earlier.

Subsequently, Lu Shui abandoned the second option and said, "What about the last one?"

Zhen Wu tidied up his thoughts and said:

"The third is the Sect Master of the Hidden Heaven Sect. The Hidden Heaven Sect's definition in the Cultivation World is very vague; they rarely operate in the Cultivation World under their sect's identity.

However, when they kill someone, they will leave behind their sect's name and personal Daoist Name, but they will never reveal themselves in public.

Therefore, Hidden Heaven Sect Disciples are quite secretive, and their Sect Master is even more so. To this day, no one knows of this person's existence, not even a shred of rumor.

Gender, Cultivation, Daoist Name, Inheritance are all unknown.

Some even suspect that the Hidden Heaven Sect doesn't have a Sect Master at all."
