Chapter 354 His reputation soared, and he met Old Monster Qiong.
Chapter 354 His reputation soared, and he met Old Monster Qiong.
Terrifying lightning and demonic flames intertwined, bursting forth with dazzling sparks, leaving the Moon Concealing Sect cultivators standing nearby dumbfounded.
The Demon Flame Sect is renowned for its fire control, and its Demon Flame Great Technique is awe-inspiring throughout the Tianluo Kingdom. It ranks highly among the six major sects of the demonic path.
Unfortunately, they were very unlucky and encountered Lu Yao, who was hiding his true cultivation level.
"Nether Thunder Arrow!"
A bolt of pitch-black lightning flashed and instantly pierced the head of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Demon Flame Sect.
For Lu Yao, killing these Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators was as easy as chopping vegetables and peeling melons.
"This is a monster! We cannot defeat him by force! Scatter and flee!"
A look of fear flashed in the eyes of the leader of the Demon Flame Sect. He shouted and transformed into a streak of flame, trying to leave the range of the Thunder Prison Barrier.
Lu Yao looked up, a slight smile playing on his lips, and the Nether Thunder Arrow reappeared.
The leader of the Demon Flame Sect felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his spiritual senses frantically warned him.
Unfortunately, before he could make a move, a large, dark hole appeared in his chest.
The meridians in his body were swiftly destroyed by a destructive bolt of lightning, and his heart meridian was instantly severed.
Seeing that their strongest cultivator had died, the other cultivators of the Demon Flame Sect were terrified and wished they had an extra leg.
However, within the Thunder Prison Barrier, their attempt to escape was nothing but wishful thinking.
Countless lightning-like black spikes had blocked their path, and it would take considerable effort to escape.
Lu Yao would not give them that chance. He fired the Nether Thunder Arrows continuously, like the King of Hell calling a roll, killing whoever he struck.
In a short while, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Demon Flame Sect who had come to ambush him died within the Thunder Prison Barrier.
As the barrier dissipated, the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect came forward to greet them.
"Senior Brother Lu's Daoist magic is divine and mighty, we are in awe!"
"Senior Brother Lu is so handsome! I heard he doesn't have a Daoist partner yet."
"Really? Then I have a chance!"
"Get out of here. Don't you even look in the mirror? Are you worthy of Senior Brother Lu?"
……
Two late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect respectfully approached Lu Yao.
"Thank you for your help, Lu Chuancheng. Otherwise, we would have suffered heavy casualties."
The one speaking was the late-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator who had previously received Lu Yao. At this moment, she looked at Lu Yao with admiration.
"It's my duty. Let's pack up and get ready to continue."
Lu Yao chuckled and gave instructions to the two of them.
Lu Yao was merely a figurehead; the real logistics and transportation were handled by these two late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples.
The corpses of the Demon Flame Sect cultivators were all collected, their storage bags were gathered and sent to Lu Yao, and the corpses could also be exchanged for contribution points at Golden Drum Plain.
A dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators and thirty-odd Qi Refining cultivators—their value is considerable.
In just two and a half days, Lu Yao and his group arrived at the territory guarded by the seven major sects.
"Junior Nephew Lu, I heard you encountered an ambush by demonic cultivators. Were you injured?"
Then, Elder Tang Xing, dressed in white robes, came to Lu Yao and spoke with concern.
Lu Yao is a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect and the only disciple of Old Monster Qiong, so he absolutely cannot be harmed.
"Uncle, rest assured, I have killed all the invading demonic cultivators, and the sect disciples who were transporting the supplies are all unharmed."
Lu Yao smiled and handed over the storage bag containing the demonic cultivator's corpse.
Elder Tang took the storage bag, scanned it with his divine sense, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"You killed all of these people by yourself??"
Elder Tang opened his mouth and uttered a question.
It's simply unbelievable. With a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level, he killed more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, including four late-Foundation Establishment cultivators. This is something that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot do.
"My junior brother has made some progress in thunder magic, which is why he has such strength."
Lu Yao smiled and attributed all the credit to the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities.
After all, the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect saw it; he did indeed use lightning magic to defeat the demonic cultivator, whose cultivation level was still at the Foundation Establishment stage.
“Nephew Lu, now your fame will surely spread throughout Jin Gu Yuan.”
Elder Tang glanced at Lu Yao, but didn't press further. Every cultivator has their own secrets; that's perfectly normal.
However, Lu Yao's killing of more than a dozen cultivators of the same level will inevitably attract the attention of the demonic path.
"Then I'd better keep a low profile. It's true what they say, people are afraid of becoming famous, just like pigs are afraid of getting fat."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao couldn't help but smile. The enemy's talented disciples had always been a key target, and many of the Seven Great Sects' long-established disciples had already been targeted and killed.
Of course, many talented disciples from the six demonic sects have always been on the kill list of the seven major sects.
"The sect will consider it."
"Your master is in the large tent ahead."
Elder Tang nodded and told Lu Yao the location of Old Monster Qiong.
After bidding farewell to Elder Tang, Lu Yao went directly to the command tent of the Hidden Moon Sect.
As soon as he entered, Lu Yao saw Old Monster Qiong lying on a chair, drinking fine wine without any regard for his image.
"Disciple greets Master."
Lu Yao knew that Old Monster Qiong had already discovered him, so he immediately bowed and paid his respects.
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Qiong slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Yao.
"Hey! How does it feel to lose a Daoist partner with a Heavenly Spiritual Root?"
Old Monster Qiong chuckled, sat up, and teased Lu Yao.
"What does someone else's Heavenly Spiritual Root have to do with me? If it's gone, it's gone."
Lu Yao shrugged and said with a helpless expression.
"Haha, you're pretty easygoing, kid."
"The sect suffered a huge loss, losing a batch of resources, and even the benefits given to the Yan family went down the drain. Tsk tsk tsk~"
Old Monster Qiong slapped his thigh and said with a chuckle.
Lu Yao was speechless. Where did his master stand? The Hidden Moon Sect was losing money and he was still happy about it.
"Hmph! You've really shown your prowess, killing so many cultivators of the same level with only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level."
"You'll definitely be useful for luring those bastards in the Demonic Path in the future."
Old Qiong chuckled strangely, looking at Lu Yao with great interest.
Lu Yao's expression immediately fell. He hadn't expected that Old Monster Qiong would be so insidious, trying to use him as bait.
"Tch! I was just teasing you, look how scared you are."
Old Monster Qiong rolled his eyes and stopped teasing Lu Yao.
"Master, Spirit Beast Mountain..."
Lu Yao let out a soft breath, and suddenly thought of the Spirit Beast Mountain, which had already betrayed them.
Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Old Monster Qiong's expression turned slightly serious, and he immediately cast a soundproofing spell.
"The contents of the letter you provided are true. I didn't expect that Spirit Beast Mountain had really turned against us."
Old Monster Qiong frowned and said with a helpless expression.
"Does the sect have any countermeasures?"
Lu Yao thought for a moment. Since the Hidden Moon Sect had confirmed that something had happened at Spirit Beast Mountain, they must have taken some action.
"Sigh, we have already spoken with the other five factions and they all agree that now is not the time to deal with Spirit Beast Mountain."
"The seven major sects are not as strong as the six sects of the demonic path. If internal strife breaks out again, their downfall may be imminent."
Old Monster Qiong looked helpless and said something.
