Who Let Him Cultivate?! - Chapter 187
Chapter 187: Chapter 186 Everything is Going According to Plan_1
Fairy Eternity was furious, Tang Yunsheng, who was supposed to be her follower, didn’t even have the most basic loyalty!
She fondly remembered the ancient times when she, as a powerful ruler, would have an entire planet of people devoted to her. They considered it an honor to be her followers and worshiped her words as gospel.
Lu Yang scoffed inwardly. This was the result of their worship of an imaginary perfect Immortal. If the Eternity Sect knew what the real Fairy Eternity was like, he had no doubt they’d all disband the very next day, loyalty be damned.
At the very least, Lu Yang, their founder, was contemplating resignation every day.
Not to mention the ordinary followers.
Wait a minute, why not change their approach and have Fairy Eternity resign instead? And have the entire Eternity Sect switch to a completely different belief?
The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more he liked this idea.
While Lu Yang was lost in his thoughts, he remained calm, knowing he was safe as long as Eldest Senior Sister was there.
The real issue now was how to deal with Tang Yunsheng.
To kill him would hinder their future operations; to spare him would mean
their end. Quite the predicament.
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu didn’t seem to be worried either. Before coming, Lu Yang told them that everything was within Eldest Senior Sister’s plan, and nothing would go wrong.
Isn’t “Eldest Senior Sister” more reliable than anything else?
Tang Yunsheng raised his hand, drawing out a broad cleaver from his storage space, wrapped in the souls of Fierce Ghosts. Seeing that Lu Yang and the others did not move, he assumed that they had lost the will to resist.
This was a normal response to absolute disparity in power.
Cultivators who resigned themselves to their fate like Lu Yang were exactly the type that Tang Yunsheng was all too familiar with.
Kill!
Tang Yunsheng exuded a bone-chilling aura. Just one look at him and you could tell he was a notorious major demon who had killed countless people.
With a malicious grin, he launched himself into the air, full of murderous intent, intending to eradicate Lu Yang and his allies with a single strike.
Just then, space in front of a large rock distorted, and the Master of the Eternity Sect, yawning lazily, stepped out from their backup base number five.
He decided to take a break, allowing others to sort things out inside the base.
He looked up to see Tang Yunsheng raising his bloody cleaver, leaping up high with the intent of killing the three on the ground, who were motionless, as if they were struck dumb with fear.
Master:
Tang Yunsheng:
The Master was full of questions. What on earth was going on?
“Tang Yunsheng, what the hell are you doing?!” The Master realized that now was not the time for questioning; he shouted and reached out, roughly grabbing Tang Yunsheng, whose bones creaked in his grasp.
“Wait, Master, I can explain…” Tang Yunsheng was panicked. Just his luck that he picked a desolate spot to execute his plan, and the Master sprung out of nowhere.
The Master didn’t care for Tang Yunsheng’s explanations; he forcefully scanned Tang Yunsheng’s Spiritual Space with his Spiritual Sense, damaging Tang Yunsheng’s consciousness and learning his memories in the process.
The Master wasn’t exactly a benevolent character and was no stranger to harassment and violation of others’ Spiritual Spaces.
Finally, the Master understood the whole situation.
The trio of Lu Yang had barely managed to infiltrate the Seek Dao Sect successfully, but their mission was fully compromised due to the actions of Liu Gao’s two vice leaders.
To make matters worse, after Liu and Gao’s failure, they informed them that Vice Leader Jin was a traitor. Faithful to the Eternity Sect, Lu Yang and his two companions came to the headquarters to report this, only to have Tang Yunsheng planning to kill them to keep them quiet.
“You bastard!” The Master squeezed Tang Yunsheng to death, furious. If it hadn’t been for his accidental appearance, these three promising cultivators of the Demon Path who were dedicated to Eternity Sect would have died here!
In truth, Tang Yunsheng had already become a fool after his Spiritual Space was searched and violated. He was no different from a dead body.
“You three have suffered a lot,” the Master consoled them. This was the first time he had met Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, and Man Gu.
Excellent men, the pillars of the demonic sect in the future, his most trusted subordinates.
Lu Yang:
Lu Yang had heard Tang Yunsheng’s dying exclamation of “Master”. So, the man standing before him was the Master of Eternity Sect?
He just emerged from backup base number five?
Had they gained the Master’s trust?
A string of questions arose in Lu Yang’s mind.
Did they skip some steps? Why did they achieve their goal so soon?
In the Spiritual Space, Eldest Senior Sister remained undisturbed. She looked detached from the world as she said, “Everything is as planned.”
Fairy Eternity looked at Eldest Senior Sister in admiration. This young lady was incredibly calculating and astute, something she could never achieve.
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu also believed that this was all part of Eldest Senior Sister’s plan. They couldn’t help but feel that Eldest Senior Sister was truly formidable – nothing seems to escape her calculation.
With Eldest Senior Sister present, they felt at ease.
Only Lu Yang held a strange expression, suspecting that these were all coincidences.
However, considering Eldest Senior Sister’s capabilities, he deduced that even the coincidences were part of the plan.
Yes, Eldest Senior Sister’s plans are flawless.
Originally, the Master considered Lu Yang and the others talented with great potential, ideal for Immortal Eternity to Possess, but he worried about them dying in the Seek Dao Sect. If they survived, they might be turned against the Eternity Sect by Seek Dao Sect, and couldn’t be invited to participate in the testing.
Now that he had witnessed everything and had Tang Yunsheng’s memories as assurance, all his doubts vanished.
“As for the matters concerning Vice Leader Jin, I hope that only the four of us will know about this,” the Master believed that the claim that Jin was a traitor was concocted by Liu and Gao to bite back just before their deaths.
Fairy Eternity nodded.
Eldest Senior Sister nodded.
Fairy Eternity stopped nodding midway, frowning: “This man is weird, why do
I sense a familiar aura from him?”
This aura was faint, and to discern it required a delicate feeling: “It feels like the Eternity Dao Fruit, but not quite. It’s strange.”
After hearing Fairy Eternity’s whisper, Yun Zhi raised an eyebrow, thinking that the truth of Eternity Sect might be different from her imagination.
The Master personally led Lu Yang and the others into backup base number five.
At last, Lu Yang and his team arrived at the headquarters of the Eternity Sect. But the scene before them differed from their expectation.
They envisaged the Eternity Sect headquarters to give off a menacing aura, with a sense of terrifying atmosphere as though old major demons were lurking in the shadows, device secret plans.
But in reality, the members of the Eternity Sect were buzzing about, carrying bricks, sawing trees, constructing houses, and building altars. The place was a hive of activity.
The Master casually mentioned, “In order to avoid the Seek Dao Sect and remain safe, our Sect has recently relocated. Although everything has been moved here, it still needs some sorting out and construction.”
“Your timing is perfect. We’re about to hold an internal selection. Soon, a large group of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage and Qi Refinement Stage will arrive here to compete. The best among you will gain the favor of Immortal Eternity.”
“Alright, that’s all for now. For the time being, you three can stay here. You will be notified when the selection begins. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some matters to attend to.”
With that said, the Master hastily left.
The Eternity Sect had run out of backup bases. He needed to choose three more, just in case.
He didn’t rise to the position of Master solely relying on his cultivation level. Caution also played a vital role.
