Chapter 111 The Yin-Yang Cult's Counterattack
The already aged Wang Yangzhan even had a faint aura of death emanating from his body, clearly indicating that his lifespan was nearing its end.
"Master, you must hold on!" an elder said anxiously.
However, when one's lifespan is about to end, anxiety will not solve the problem.
"Quickly bring some dragon marrow over, the higher the quality, the better."
Soon, an elder appeared, bringing a jar of peerless dragon marrow. Wang Yangzhan swallowed a few pieces of dragon marrow, which barely stabilized his condition.
"I can't hold on much longer. Relying on dragon marrow to prolong my life is not a solution. If we can't deal with this young man, I'm afraid the Yin Yang Sect will truly face destruction in the future." Wang Yangzhan said, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.
"But this boy is too cunning, and his methods are unpredictable. His cultivation speed is also terrifying. He is hiding in the Qishi Mansion and will not come out. We really have no way to deal with him."
One of the elders shook his head helplessly, feeling deeply frustrated by the situation.
"Then use that move." Wang Yangzhan's eyes were still flashing with cold light.
"Which move did I teach our ancestor to create?" An elder's expression changed instantly.
As members of the Yin-Yang Sect, they naturally understood how terrifying that move was, but its execution inevitably meant the death of someone.
"Master, this is a critical moment for the survival of our Yin Yang Sect. You must not do this. You must find a way to prolong our lives."
Immediately, an elder pleaded with Wang Yangzhan to retract his decision.
"My mind is made up. I think this is the last thing I can do for the Yin Yang Sect," Wang Yangzhan said calmly.
He had already realized how terrifying Lu Zhao was and knew he had to eliminate him completely.
Otherwise, once Lu Zhao rises to power, the Yin-Yang Sect will truly face only one fate.
During this time, the tribulation of lightning in Yin Yang Divine City had subsided, and the city was filled with ruins and many buildings had been destroyed.
"You guys handle things in the city, I'm going to study the Yin-Yang Death Curse properly."
Wang Yangzhan left these matters to his subordinates and entered the main hall of the Yin-Yang Sect.
"We can't let the old leader die. We need to find a way to kill Lu Zhao. Once we deal with that little thief Lu Zhao, the leader will definitely give up this idea. What do you all think of this?"
"Good. If we can get rid of Lu Zhao, our Yin Yang Sect will be rid of a major threat."
"Everyone wants to kill him now, but who has the ability to do so?"
"Then let all the cultivators in the world take action. I don't believe he can hide for long."
The elders quickly discussed the matter and made a final decision.
"Whoever kills Lu Zhao will receive a legendary weapon!"
"Whoever kills Lu Zhao will be rewarded with five million catties of Yuan!"
"A staggering bounty is offered: whoever kills Lu Zhao will receive a jar of extraordinary dragon marrow!"
"Whoever can bring back the head of that brat from the Lu family, I, the Yin-Yang Master, will bestow upon him a profound insight from an ancient sage!"
"Anyone who can kill Lu Zhao can come to my Yin-Yang Sect to listen to the Heavenly Sounds of the Great Dao for ten years!"
The Yin-Yang Sect issued several bounties in succession, each one shocking the world. The Yin-Yang Sect spared no expense, with the sole purpose of killing Lu Zhao.
The Yin-Yang Sect's voice shook the world, and the conditions it offered made many people envious. Naturally, some fearless individuals began to take action, and many powerful rogue cultivators began searching for Lu Zhao.
In the past few days, the people of Zhongzhou have been intrigued and excited. The insights of the ancient sages and the enlightenment of the Yin-Yang Ancestor have even made the Holy Lord restless.
These conditions were too generous; no one could resist them. The Yin-Yang Sect was determined to eliminate Lu Zhao and issued a call to all the experts in the Central Plains.
This is a major earthquake, a storm is brewing, and experts from all walks of life have come out, almost turning the Central Plains upside down, all searching for Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao had already successfully overcome his tribulation in the past few days and had returned to the Qishi Mansion.
No matter how much the outside world clamored, no one dared to enter Qishi Mansion at will.
Even when faced with the bounty offered by the Yin-Yang Sect, Lu Zhao stood above the Qishi Mansion and loudly declared to the people outside that he would not hesitate to kill anyone who dared to attack him.
Countless rogue cultivators in Zhongzhou originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill Lu Zhao and then board the Yin Yang Sect's ship to advance their own careers.
However, Lu Zhao's firm response left many people wondering what was going on.
Lu Zhao was too assertive and showed no sign of backing down.
To force such a major sect into this situation, he must possess extraordinary methods, which is why some people have backed down and are preparing to temporarily stay out of the fray.
If given the opportunity, they wouldn't mind continuing to make moves.
Soon Duan De reappeared, his face glowing with health, indicating he had gained a lot, and a smile lingered on his lips.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this collaboration has been quite pleasant. You led everyone away at the front gate, while I dug up quite a few ancestral graves behind the scenes," Duan De said with a smile.
"Look at your radiant face, you must have dug up some good stuff." Lu Zhao nodded with a smile. The happier Duan De was now, the angrier the Yin Yang Sect would become.
"Oh dear, these are nothing to mention. If you have any further ideas next time, you can come to me again."
Duan De rubbed his hands together.
"That's no problem at all. Look at these guys outside. Which one have you taken a fancy to? We'll go there next time." Lu Zhao pointed to the cultivators outside the Qishi Mansion.
Those outside the Qishi Mansion were filled with renewed anger upon seeing Duan De appear.
But upon hearing the two's plan, the people outside instantly flew into a rage.
"You little thief, if you dare to desecrate my sect's ancestral graves, I will skin you alive!" a powerful figure shouted outside the Qishi Mansion.
However, Duan De did not take the threat from such people seriously at all.
After all, when it comes to courting death, no one in the entire world of Shrouding the Heavens can compare to him. He has offended almost every sect in the entire Big Dipper.
This person, who was always courting death, is now living a more comfortable life than anyone else.
The fact that Duan De could offend so many people and still live so comfortably shows that he not only has many trump cards, but his own strength is also unimaginable.
"Hey, you actually dare to threaten me? You've really offended me this time. Next time, I'll dig up your ancestral graves first," Duan De said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing Duan De's threat, everyone outside fell silent.
Because Duan De truly meant what he said; after being threatened by the Yin-Yang Cult last time, he dug up several of the Yin-Yang Cult's ancestral graves.
Therefore, when Duan De spoke this time, these people knew it must be true.
The ancestral graves of this religion will inevitably be dug up, and this will not be delayed for long.
"Come back to the church with me immediately." The great man left immediately, not daring to linger here, and prepared to guard Duan De closely.
Duan De continued to scan the other cultivators, seemingly wanting to choose another sect.
The others avoided eye contact with Duan De, not daring to meet his gaze directly, let alone threaten him, as that would be tantamount to completely offending him.
Some people even turned around and left, not wanting to be remembered by Lu Zhao and Duan De.
Those who remained outside were only some independent cultivators and those with confidence.
There were quite a few people outside the Qishi Mansion, roughly over a hundred strong individuals, most of whom were half-step Great Power experts.
There are even quite a few powerful beings among them, with a total number of no fewer than ten.
All of these were attracted by the bounty offered by the Yin-Yang Sect, who wanted to surround and kill Lu Zhao outside the Qishi Mansion.
"Let's go first, don't worry about these guys. We'll call you next time we need to take action." Lu Zhao turned and returned to his secluded retreat.
The time I was away this time was not long, less than three days in total.
However, for Yunyi and Zixia, these three days were extremely agonizing, as they were terrified that something might happen to Lu Zhao.
Because Lu Zhao was facing a behemoth like the Yin-Yang Sect.
If even the slightest accident were to occur, Lu Zhao would never be able to return.
Seeing Lu Zhao return safely, Yunyi and Zixia both breathed a sigh of relief, their tension vanished, and their faces were filled with joy.
"We've both heard that the Yin-Yang Sect has offered a huge bounty and is willing to pay a high price to kill you. Why don't you come back to the Eastern Wilderness with me and become a Holy Son of my Purple Mansion? With the Purple Mansion's protection, the various sects won't be so presumptuous," Zixia said.
"That's right, I also suggest you enter the Purple Mansion first and avoid this calamity first," Yunyi suggested very seriously.
"These are all minor issues, but I really want to destroy the Yin-Yang Sect. It will be more difficult to do so once I join the Purple Mansion."
Lu Zhao spoke up.
"But with so many people gathered outside, are you really not going to stay away forever?" Zixia asked with some concern.
For practitioners, there is certainly no problem in going into seclusion in one place.
However, staying in seclusion in one place for too long is not a good idea for Lu Zhao, as it would seriously affect his cultivation speed.
If someone is in seclusion in a certain place for a long period of time, the speed at which they absorb external principles will slow down.
"This is not a big problem. Have you forgotten that I had already prepared the teleportation platform before I left last time?"
"Actually, the reason I didn't rush back these past few days was to verify the teleportation array I carved," Lu Zhao explained with a smile.
The mansion of the extraordinary man also contains fragments of the Secret of Combining Characters, a secret technique that greatly enhances formations.
If Lu Zhao can master it now, his teleportation array pattern will definitely be improved.
Even at that point, it could unleash even more terrifying power.
They can form various terrifying killing formations, which can also annihilate many powerful enemies.
Even now, Lu Zhao himself is unsure whether he can see the Secret of Character Formation and comprehend its mysteries.
After all, now that the old lord is not coming out, even the deputy lord might not be able to open that special formation and let him in.
After three days of seclusion, Lu Zhao emerged from his secluded retreat.
Also on the Immortal-Slaying Platform, he chose to fight against other prodigies.
Now that Lu Zhao has become even more powerful, he has also joined forces with more monstrous talents, all of whom want to obtain the Enlightenment Tea in his possession.
Facing even more exceptional talents, Lu Zhao's gains were also considerable.
When faced with groups of challengers, Lu Zhao was generally fearless, unless there were those whose cultivation level was beyond his reach, in which case he would change his attitude slightly.
He fought dozens of battles in a row, each of which required him to fight dozens of people alone.
Moreover, these prodigies cultivated different paths, and each of them brought Lu Zhao tremendous gains.
Meanwhile, many powerful figures from major sects were watching the Qishi Mansion from outside. When they saw their own holy sons fighting Lu Zhao, their hearts were in their throats, fearing that Lu Zhao would make a move.
Moreover, seeing that even with so many holy sons joining forces, they still couldn't defeat Lu Zhao.
Many major religions left, not wanting to get involved in the conflict.
At the same time, he loudly proclaimed outside the Qishi Mansion that he was willing to no longer interfere in Lu Zhao's affairs and hoped that Lu Zhao would not make things difficult for the Holy Son of the sect.
Almost all those who still had a Holy Son in the Qishi Mansion made this decision.
In the end, only those powerful rogue cultivators remained.
These people still number quite a few, at least several dozen, including several powerful figures, who remain eyeing the situation covetously.
As for the remaining people, Lu Zhao knew that it would be difficult for them to leave.
Moreover, none of these people have any powerful connections, and they are not afraid of having their backers purged.
They care about nothing and nothing can restrain them, which makes them the most terrifying and the most difficult group to deal with.
It is something that no major religion wants to provoke, because provoking them would bring trouble.
