Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the main hall, the Evil Buddha didn’t die and laughed heartily.
The earth shook, and many auras of living beings suddenly appeared in the City of Death.
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and turned around. He saw the scene in the City of Death.
The Evil Buddha Hall was located at the center of the city and was built extremely tall.
Standing at the entrance of the hall, one could overlook the entire city.
At this moment, all the houses in the city had their doors wide open.
One figure after another walked out from within, swaying. They were all commoners in the city.
However, they all had crazed smiles on their faces, and their expressions were no different from the Evil Buddha in the hall.
Lu Xuan noticed that some of them were missing arms. They were the stone statues that he had broken before.
The Evil Buddha laughed maniacally as if mocking him.
In this City of Death, he was the only ruler. If he wanted to turn someone into stone, that person would be stone. If he wanted to turn a stone statue into a person, that stone statue would be enlightened to become a human.
This was a change at the level of laws. The so-called law was already close to the Dao. His control over the City of Death had long permeated every corner.
Lu Xuan shook his head and faced the Evil Buddha.
“It’s just a bluff. Being restricted by others means that you aren’t free.
“If you really have great powers, why don’t you come down from that lotus throne?
“If you really are the ruler of this city, why are you trapped here whilst the one who escaped is existing elsewhere?”
The Evil Buddha stopped laughing after hearing this. Instead, he clenched his fists and became angry.
Cheng Lingzhu tugged at the corner of Lu Xuan’s shirt, her face filled with worry.
By this point, he shouldn’t have angered this demon.
She also saw what circumstance the Evil Buddha was in.
He seemed arrogant and arrogant, but in fact, his hands and feet were tied. His body was locked by the lotus platform, and his power could not be transmitted out of the hall.
When the Evil Buddha was laughing, Cheng Lingzhu sent a voice transmission to Lu Xuan, telling him to leave quickly.
As long as he was outside the main hall, the Evil Buddha could not directly attack the two of them. The only power he could use was the stone statue in the City of Death.
She was at the tail end of her rope, and the Evil Buddha had so many small fries under him. It would not be easy to deal with them.
Nevertheless, with Lu Xuan’s Exceptional Golden Core strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to take her out of the city.
Cheng Lingzhu planned to set up an altar to send a message to the Dushi Sword House after she left the city. She would order them to blow up the entire City of Death.
The plan was pretty good, but the first step went wrong.
Lu Xuan did not leave.
Cheng Lingzhu was anxious and angry, but she wasn’t worried about her own life.
When the saintess descended the mountain, she naturally had more than one backup plan.
Other than the Ancestral Master’s Spirit Subjugation technique, Cheng Lingzhu had also brought many other magic artifacts with her. From group attacks to single target attacks, they were all focused on killing.
However, this was the first time she had used the Ancestral Master’s secret technique. She did not expect the consumption to be so great. There was not even a drop of magic power left in her body. It was not even enough to activate the magic artifact.
But…this didn’t mean that Cheng Lingzhu couldn’t leave.
There were always things in the world that surpassed ordinary magic artifacts.
She still had a trump card in her hand, which was the traveling token of the Dushi Sword House.
With just a thought, even if she was hundreds of millions of kilometers away, even if there were layers of formations and mighty figures blocking her, she could still return to the sect.
The City of Death was strange, but it couldn’t trap Cheng Lingzhu.
This was the foundation of a top-notch immortal sect. It was difficult for saintesses and saints to die outside.
Cheng Lingzhu didn’t want to use the token because once she chose to use the traveling token, it meant that her journey in the mortal world was over.
She had just left the mountain and had to use the token to escape when she carried out her first mission…
There had never been such a saintess in the history of the Dushi Sword House.
If she fled now, not only would it affect her Dao path, but it would also be very embarrassing when she returned to the sect.
Moreover, if she left now, Lu Xuan would definitely die if he stayed to fight the Evil Buddha.
Cheng Lingzhu didn’t think he had a way of dealing with the Evil Buddha.
They were both in the Golden Core stage. Even if Lu Xuan had the means of the Ancestral Master’s Spirit Subjugation, how strong could he be?
After all, their Ancestral Master had never beaten his Ancestral Master back then. It would definitely be the same after he became an immortal.
Furthermore, Cheng Lingzhu had heard that in the past few thousand years, the connection between the Dao Evolution Sect’s founding ancestor and the sect seemed to have been severed. When the ceremony was held, the founding ancestor did not appear.
He couldn’t even use the Ancestral Master’s Spirit Descent method.
Her logical guess was that the Dao Evolution Sect founder might have gone to steal teachings somewhere again. This time, his memories were deleted too cleanly, and he had forgotten about the Dao Evolution Sect.
Neither did Cheng Lingzhu want Lu Xuan to die, nor did she want her journey in the mortal world to end so soon. She could only think of a way to persuade him.
“Lu…Senior Brother Lu.”
Cheng Lingzhu tugged at Lu Xuan’s sleeve with one hand and sniffed, trying her best to look pitiful.
“We…Let’s go.”
The book said that a weak girl could arouse a man’s desire to protect her. Cheng Lingzhu decided to give it a try.
“No.”
“Senior brother, as long as there’s life, there’s hope. We can’t beat this fellow now…”
Cheng Lingzhu shook his sleeve.
“Yes, I can.”
Cheng Lingzhu huffed angrily, her chest heaving up and down.
This guy’s head was probably made of immortal gold. It was so rigid…
No, it was said that immortal gold could develop intelligence after being placed for a long time. How could he not even understand the principle of seeking benefits and avoiding harm?!
To think that she had even wronged herself and called him “senior brother” a few times…
Cheng Lingzhu felt that she had suffered a loss.
Lu Xuan looked at her strangely. “How did the disciples of the Dushi Sword House become so cowardly?”
Cheng Lingzhu was speechless.
‘Why am I being looked down upon? Are you very familiar with our Dushi Sword House?’
Lu Xuan, a proper disciple of the Dushi Sword House, shook his head in disdain.
It was only during the battle just now that Cheng Lingzhu had revealed the murderous aura of the Dushi Sword House.
He recalled the days when he had become her disciple. Cheng Hongtan had been a true lunatic. She would go wherever there was danger, so much so that Lu Xuan suspected that she wanted to murder her husband.
During the time he was with her, Lu Xuan had taken all the risks he could take in his life. He had survived purely because of his pale face and his tough life, as well as God’s mercy.
The man and the woman stood in the hall, chatting casually.
The Evil Buddha was not satisfied.
As the ruler of this place, the two of them were ignoring him. This made the Evil Buddha furious.
The demonic flames in his eyes flared.
A huge greenish-black palm pressed down. This wasn’t a physical attack, but a power of laws that enveloped the two of them.
Lu Xuan looked at the Evil Buddha and frowned.
However, he heard a cry of surprise coming from beside him.
This voice…seemed slightly immature.
He turned his head and saw that Cheng Lingzhu’s figure had actually started to shrink!
Her originally bulging clothes became flat, and her figure shrunk. She actually turned from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl to an eleven or twelve-year-old child.
The Daoist robe she was wearing was a magic artifact that could adjust its size on its own. However, her figure changed too quickly and she could not keep up with it for a moment.
Lu Xuan looked at the loli in the loose Daoist robe and found her very cute. He subconsciously reached out and pinched her face.
Cheng Lingzhu’s body stiffened. She glared at him, and her little face quickly turned red.
Lu Xuan coughed twice and revealed an awkward but polite smile.
He didn’t mean to take advantage of her, but when it came to Cheng Lingzhu, he definitely felt different.
However, after Lu Xuan pinched her, Cheng Lingzhu’s condition froze, and her age no longer changed.
The Evil Buddha used a method that involved the laws of time. Lu Xuan said to him, “I know a trick or two as well.”
Therefore, he pinched Cheng Lingzhu’s face and broke the Evil Buddha’s secret technique.
As for himself, he was also undergoing changes.
It was just that he went from 21 to 24, then 23, 22, and then back to 21, and so on.
Because he wanted to test the other party’s methods, Lu Xuan deliberately did not resist.
