Translator: 549690339

Diancang Sect, Erhai Lake.

A beautiful figure moved through the restrictive enchantments and arrived next to Erhai Lake. She looked at the fiery figure swimming like a mermaid in the lake with admiration, infatuation, and envy…

After only one glance, she lowered her head, not daring to look any longer, and silently waited.

Lu Tianxiang swam joyfully in Erhai Lake. She liked the feeling of being unrestricted, so she swam every day.

After enjoying herself to her heart’s content, Lu Tianxiang walked towards the shore, stepping on the azure waves. Her crystal-perfect jade feet touched the surface of the water without causing a single ripple, yet the surface reflected her perfect figure.

The moment she stepped onto the shore, the moisture on her body automatically dried, and her bare feet were three feet above the ground, as if they would never touch the earth. With the halo behind her head, she appeared like a true celestial maiden.

The beautiful figure then respectfully said, “Sect Hierarch, Prince Wu’an has mobilized the Jingye Office from Sanzhou into Leizhou, and also ordered the Four Sects of Leizhou to assist, proclaiming that they will surely slay the demonic figure who has been massacring cities within half a month.”

“Very good.”

Lu Tianxiang smiled charmingly, making Erhai even more beautiful by a third.

“Convey my command, intensify our propagation of doctrine in Dingyuan Manor and Dingji Manor.”

The beautiful figure was astonished and exclaimed, “Sect Hierarch, shouldn’t we be laying low at this juncture?”

In her view, this was too risky. With Prince Wu’an assembling numerous powerful individuals in Leizhou, their clandestine propagation could very likely be exposed.

Once the demonic figure was suppressed, Daqian Empire was bound to deal with them next. The Daqian Empire certainly wouldn’t allow a new White Lotus Cult to rise.

After looking at the beautiful figure, Lu Tianxiang felt her newly recruited confidant still lacked vision. She thought for a moment and patiently explained,

“Hehuan Sect and the Yinyang Sect behind it will not sit idly by. If that demonic figure is smart, he’ll lie low for a while, and we can take this opportunity to grow our followers.”

The beautiful figure suddenly understood and excitedly left. Lu Tianxiang shook her head slightly at the sight.

Prince Wu’an was ostensibly there to defend Sanzhou and eradicate the remnants of the White Lotus Cult, but he had been inactive since arriving in

Huozhou. Recently, he even called back Yang Tianxiong and Wan Guiyuan, two Great Grandmasters, clearly plotting something.

Two months ago, Lu Tianxiang finally understood why Prince Wu’an had holed up in Huozhou City after word came from her mysterious backers.

Prince Wu’an was waiting for a great opportunity to emerge!

That opportunity was suspected to enhance the quality of the Martial True Pill condensation during the breakthrough to the True Martial Realm. Lu Tianxiang’s heart was also set ablaze with desire to obtain it.

Desperate to participate, LU ‘I’lamaang could no longer care aDout otner matters; she wanted to quickly restore her strength and even push her cultivation a great deal forward.

Otherwise, even as a Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, she would not have the qualifications to be involved. She was well aware that she couldn’t last three moves in Prince Wu’an’s hands.

“I hope that old wench from Hehuan Sect can hold up, buying me some more time,” Lu Tianxiang’s gaze deepened as she murmured to herself.

The eradication campaign that drew the attention of Leizhou and even Sanzhou had grandly commenced.

Six Gurus in the Hollow Void Stage formed teams, and six groups composed of many individuals in the God Refining Realm started a carpet search from twelve directions around Leizhou, converging towards the center of the province.

They extended their Spiritual Sense, covering vast swaths of land in their relentless effort to find the demonic figure, Lu Xiu of the Yinyang Sect, and eliminate him.

Prince Wu’an only gave them half a month; they didn’t have time to wait for the demon to strike first. Therefore, they employed this brute-force method, capable of sweeping Leizhou back and forth hundreds of times in half a month.

If the demonic figure Lu Xiu was still in Leizhou, it would be impossible for him to evade their pursuit; in his hands, the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella gathered tens of millions of resentful souls, its resentment soaring to the heavens, utterly incapable of being completely hidden.

At the foot of a desolate mountain near Fengyang Manor, Lu Xiu clad in black garb was lying in hiding.

At this moment, he felt uneasy, inwardly regretting his own rashness.

After having tricked Ji Rufeng, he pretended to flee toward the territory of the Yinyang Sect, but instead did the opposite, hiding here as he awaited the opportune moment.

His purpose for coming to the Daqian Empire to slaughter was not only to collect souls to enhance the grade of his Soul Extinguishing Umbrella but also to follow the secret orders from the upper echelons of the Yinyang Sect.

Otherwise, Lu Xiu would have preferred to slowly kill off villages within the Yinyang Sect, collecting souls rather than stirring up trouble in the Daqian Empire at such a critical juncture, risking his life greatly.

The high-ranking official was not only powerful but also a Grandmaster Wanxiang; the conditions he offered were impossible for Lu Xiu to refuse, knowing that refusal meant certain death.

The high-ranking official wanted to understand Prince Wu’an’s purpose for hunkering down in Huozhou City, instructing him to slaughter within the Daqian Empire to test Prince Wu’an’s response and see whether all the great grandmasters would continue to hole up in Huozhou City.

For this, the high-ranking official gave Lu Xiu a treasure which was precisely why he could repeatedly escape from the pursuit of Ji Rufeng, the grandmaster.

Without such a treasure, relying on the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella of Earth-Level Top Grade, he could unleash combat power barely at the first-tier of the Hollow Void Stage, but he was no match for Ji Rufeng, let alone escaping.

Beyond the treasure, the high-ranking official also mentioned that a grandmaster would infiltrate the Daqian Empire to secretly protect him, and the Hehuan Sect would provide some assistance as well.

Yesterday, Lu Xiu learned that Prince Wu’an was enraged: though he did not mobilize great grandmasters, he did deploy six grandmasters and a substantial number of God Refining Realm warriors, which made Lu Xiu rather smug.

After his smugness, all that remained was apprehension. With so many grandmasters and true masters after him, he would have no chance of escape if discovered.

“Just wait a bit longer, wait for the storm to pass. Then I’ll slaughter through two more cities before making my escape. By then, with my Earth -Level Supreme Grade Soul Exhingushing Umbrella, the treasures within the ruins will undoubtedly be mine.”

Lu Xiu tried to calm himself down, repeatedly telling himself in his heart, praying not to be discovered and hoping that the Yinyang Sect’s high-ranking officials had not deceived him.

If there was a Guru in the Void Realm to help, along with the famous sect master of the Hehuan Sect, the chances of him returning to the Yinyang Sect alive were still considerable.

Lu Xiu regretted acting too recklessly; had he fled to Qingyun Manor earlier, he would have had the chance to sneak back to the Yinyang Sect, not just waiting here futilely.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, causing Lu Xiu to shudder.

“No need to be nervous.”

The raspy voice sounded, and upon seeing the man in the black hood, Lu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief; it appeared this was the Guru in the Void Realm the high official referred to who would secretly protect him.

But the next words from the hooded man sent shivers down Lu Xiu’s spine.

“Ji Rufeng, Gongsun Yun, and others are combing over from twelve directions.

You won’t stay hidden. Now you have two choices: entrust the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella to me for safekeeping while you continue to hide here; or come with me to Qingyun Manor, but I can’t guarantee your safety.”

The raspy voice of the hooded man hit Lu Xiu’s heart like a heavy hammer, his face paling a few shades.

He hadn’t expected Ji Rufeng and the others to search so ruthlessly, sweeping through from twelve directions with their powerful Spiritual Sense, his Soul Extinguishing Umbrella, heavy with resentful souls, indeed couldn’t stay concealed.

But to hand over the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella was something Lu Xiu could not bring himself to do. It was his strongest card, an impending Earth-Level Supreme Grade Magical Treasure, the foundation upon which his survival rested, and he still hoped to vie for the treasures in the ruins with it.

Such a formidable weapon, would this Guru in the Void Realm ever give it back to him once it was in his possession?

Lacking confidence, Lu Xiu opted for the second choice.

The hooded man looked at him deeply, chuckled softly, and without saying more, led Lu Xiu away from the spot.

Lu Xiu prayed in his heart that he would safely reach Qingyun Manor, but his prayers were in vain. The pair had not yet left Dingji Manor when they were discovered by the Sect Leader of Sword Cleansing Pool..
