Chapter 688: 688
“Then you’ve come to the wrong place . ” Lu Sheng smiled . “The Taoist immortals won’t accept people with incomplete temperaments . Since you came for vengeance, your spirit itself is flawed . There’s a wound that can’t be closed . ”
Zhuan Yinxue’s appeared shocked . Ordinary people might not have understood what was said . However, she had been reading books and sutras since she was little . It was only natural for her to understand the words of this mister Lu .
“Sir, you’re saying that…” Her eyes bulged, and she started feeling nervous . This was because she remembered the words of the several Taoists whom she begged to accept her as a disciple when she’d encountered them .
The Taoists seemed to have said the same things .
“If you want to cultivate the path, you should either give up on seeking revenge, or get your revenge, and then come back clean,” said Lu Sheng drily .
No matter how thick-headed Zhuang Yinxue was, she knew that this person before herself was certainly more than he seemed .
Her beautiful face was slightly hot at the moment . Her emotions rocked slightly, and she felt more nervous . However, when she heard Lu Sheng’s words, her bright eyes suddenly dimmed .
There was a long pause before she started speaking slowly again . “I… can’t…”
Lu Sheng smiled . “Then, what can you do?”
Zhuang Yinxue bit her lip .
“I can do whatever I can do!” She suddenly fell to her knees . “Immortal master, I beg you, take me as your disciple!”
Right from the start, she’d felt that Lu Sheng was not ordinary . At this moment, she truly understood that this person before her eyes was a legendary secluded immortal, a Taoist elite .
In truth, in the eyes of ordinary people such as herself, anyone who cultivated the path and possessed Capacities was an immortal .
She did not have the time to trouble herself with other matters right now . She would not let go of any opportunity with any immortal master .
“You said that you can do whatever you can do?” Lu Sheng’s gaze swept across Zhuang Yinxue’s body as he smirked .
“Yes!” Zhuang Yinxue gritted her teeth and lowered her head as her body shook . “Please, immortal master!” She brought her head down to knock it on the floor . However, instead of the wooden deck, her head hit a soft air cushion . At this moment, she was surprised and delighted at the same time .
Anyone who could achieve this was certainly among the ranks of the secluded immortals .
“I was just taking a stroll . I guess it’s fate that brought us here in this wilderness . ” Lu Sheng smiled . “You said that you can do everything?”
“Yes!” Zhuang Yinxue had an ominous feeling… Could she have encountered a…
However, she dared not give up now . Her hopes were getting slimmer and slimmer . She could barely see it now . She could not give up!
“As long as you take me as your disciple, immortal master, I can do anything!”
“You’ll do anything that I tell you to?” The smile on Lu Sheng’s face thickened .
“Yes!” Zhuang Yinxue gritted her teeth and nodded .
There was a moment of silence .
“Well then, what if I want you to die?” Lu Sheng looked up and gazed at Kongying Mountain which they were nearing .
“Die!?”
The color instantly drained from Zhuang Yinxue’s beautiful face .
She looked up at Lu Sheng to confirm that Lu Sheng was not joking .
“…” She lowered her head . She looked desolate now . Her sliver of hope was dashed .
She drew her a long sword and wiped it across her own neck .
“Pchht!”
Blood splattered everywhere . Zhuang Yinxue’s eyes bulged as she fell limply backward . Huge amounts of blood gushed forth from her neck .
Lu Sheng was stunned as well . He did not expect this lady to be this extreme . He could see that Zhuang Yinxue had not actually committed suicide . She was gambling her final and slim hope on this act of slitting her own throat .
The deck was drenched in blood . Zhuang Yinxue was lying limply on the floor, and could no longer move . Her arteries and windpipe were slit open .
Her lungs were flooded with blood . Deprived of oxygen, Zhuang Yinxue’s face paled even more . She seemed to be on the verge of death .
“Murder!”
Someone on board witnessed this scene from afar and began to shout . There were even those that came rushing over .
With such an incident on board, it was up to the boatman to set things right . Otherwise, this would have an irreparable impact on his business .
Already there were a few guards shouting at and rushing toward Lu Sheng .
“You villain! You dare commit a crime here!?”
“Catch him!”
The shouts spread far and wide .
However, Lu Sheng stayed where he was . He merely stared calmly at Zhuang Yinxue, whose consciousness was quickly fading .
“Alright!”

Suddenly, he waved his right arm, from which a beam of white Qi shot out . It precisely entered the baihui acupoint on the top of Zhuang Yinxue’s head . The white Qi instantly vanished .
Zhuang Yinxue’s cut windpipe and blood vessels immediately closed up . The blood which flooded her lungs was swiftly absorbed and digested . The supply of oxygen was reestablished in her circulatory system .
This scene shocked the people who were charging toward him . They suddenly stopped in their tracks, and dared not take another step . As long as they were not fools, anyone who saw this could tell that Lu Sheng was no ordinary person .
“I…” Zhuang Yinxue touched her neck in stunned silence . The sensation of her throat being slit open and blood flowing freely out of her body still remained within her consciousness .
“If you’re willing, wait for me at the shore in two hours . ” Lu Sheng waved his sleeve . Another white light plunged into Zhuang Yinxue’s body between her brows .
After doing all this, Lu Sheng tapped the floor with his feet, and he leapt into the air .
There was nothing keeping him here in this world anymore . He needed to do what he had to and lay some groundwork before he left .
Black Qi automatically spread out under his feet . It carried him along as he flew toward Yingkong Mountain .
Lu Sheng morphed into a black shooting star that crashed into the white mist .
“Who goes there!? How dare you trespass on Yingkong Mountain!?”
A long white figure a kilometer tall swiftly appeared in the mist . It rumbled and vibrated .
The mist scattered, revealing the long figure’s main body . It was a white flood dragon which was nearly a kilometer in length .
It had two horns and no scales on its body . It had four legs armed with golden claws, and its eyes, which were like magnified lanterns, shone with blinding red light .
When it saw Lu Sheng morphing into a black shooting star and speeding toward itself, the white dragon roared furiously, and started swinging its huge tail . Then, it swept it at Lu Sheng .
“Bam!”
The huge sound from the impact sent vibrations through the air, which spread out in the form of white rings .
The white dragon wailed . It was being pulled by the huge impact by the tail and crashed into the ground .
The ground shook greatly . Man and dragon crashed into the foot of Kongying Mountain in the blink of an eye . Huge patches of white pine trees fell . An empty space was forcibly created .
The white dragon moaned . It wanted to struggle to get up, but its entire body was being bound by countless black Qi .
It was surprised and enraged at the same time, and struggled desperately to break free . However, the more it struggled, the stronger the black Qi bound it .
Amid swooshing sounds, white flowing lights shot toward them from Kongying Mountain . They hovered in the air and checked the white dragon’s condition .
A strange strong-looking man with two heads, covered in golden battle armor, stepped forward furiously with a golden mace in hand, and demanded, “What demon is this!? It’s bold to wreak havoc in the Indefinite Cult . ”

At the moment, black Qi rose from the ground and condensed into Lu Sheng’s current figure .
He wore a long black robe . His face was covered by the dense mist, and only his scarlet eyes were revealed . Countless sharp sounds of the air breaking spread from his body as if countless sharp objects were slashing away at the air .
“This humble priest is Xuan Kongzi . I heard that the elites in the Indefinite Cult are as numerous as the clouds and immortals pass through here often . Hence, I’ve traveled far to pay you a visit . ” Lu Sheng came up with a random Taoist title as a cover-up . After all, he was here to probe and buy some time . It would not hurt to create another Taoist title .
A black-bearded man stepped forward, and coldly said, “And what a visit you’re paying . You’ve just arrived, and you’ve already completely suppressed our mountain’s guardian divine beast . Are you here to show your strength, or are you here to pay a friendly visit?
“Since you’re here to visit us and have an exchange, will you dare respond when I call you!?”
“Hm?” Lu Sheng found the phrase familiar . However, there was nothing he did not dare to do in the world .
“Of course . Call away, my friend . This humble priest will be here,” he replied with a smile .
The black-bearded Taoist suddenly produced a bottle gourd in his hand . He aimed the opening of the bottle gourd toward Lu Sheng as he shouted thrice . “Xuan Kongzi! Xuan Kongzi! Xuan Kongzi!”
“This penniless priest is here . Thank you for being courteous . ” Lu Sheng nodded and smiled .
“Fuh!”
In an instant, scarlet flames spewed forth from the bottle gourd . The flames quickly condensed into a flame chimera that was as tall as three men .
As soon as the chimera appeared, it pounced at Lu Sheng .
“I see . Is this a unique Capacity that’s released when the opponent answers the call? If it’s only a body of flame, this penniless priest can deal with it with one hand . ”
Lu Sheng chuckled and flicked his finger . Black Qi shot out and morphed into a white dragon in midair . It resembled the mountain’s guardian divine beast which he had encountered moments ago .
“Rarrgh!”
The white dragon pounced at the chimera .
“Bam!” The white dragon shattered, and the chimera continued pouncing .
Lu Sheng was bug-eyed . Before he could react, the chimera rammed into his torso .
“Puh!” He spat out a mouthful of blood, and reeled from the impact .
“Boom!”
With a loud sound, he crashed heavily into the ground like a shooting star .
Faint golden runic chains materialized out of the air from the white mist around him . The densely packed runic chains wrapped around him with precision and bound him . A huge formation which spanned several hundred meters appeared on the ground before Kongying Mountain .

“Interesting . Haven’t you heard of the Indefinite Cult’s Qianling Recovery Formation? It’s the most powerful ancient formation passed down from the previous generations . It can enhance the might of the arts unleashed within it by 100 times . You thought that you were powerful, and you’ve come here to seek death . Heh, it’s rare to meet a wild cultivator who’s as dumb as you are,” the black-bearded Taoist commented as he laughed hysterically .
“I’ll check if the fellow is dead . ” The two-headed strange man gave a few laughs too as he rode his cloud and dropped to where Lu Sheng had landed .
White smoke and black Qi spread about at this moment . The two-headed strange man created a gust of wind with a wave of his hand . The smoke and Qi were scattered . After flying for several hundred meters, the man finally saw the condition of the Taoist on the ground .
The land was cracked as if from drought, and the cracks extended for several hundred meters . Cracks were also visible in the surrounding sea of trees, forming a spider-web-like pattern .
At the center of the cracks stood a pitch-black man whose back was bent from coughing .
“Oh? You’re still alive? What a lucky fellow . Let’s go . Follow me, and you’ll be spared much pain . ” The two-headed strange man got closer to him as he smiled .
“This penniless priest has underestimated you lot . ” Lu Sheng coughed a few more times and straightened his back . He looked at the thick layers of golden runic chains on his body .
“This formation is interesting . However, this penniless priest has dabbled in formations for many years now . To think that you’re intending to immobilize me with this minor formation . This penniless priest will break it with one hand . Flying Crane in the Mystic Skies, When All is Said and Done!
“Break! Break! Break!” Lu Sheng shouted three times .
A large volume of black Qi shrunk from his body, and erupted with three loud booms . The black clouds formed a giant black tiger which roared at the skies .
“This art allows me to summon a primordial true spirit, which I’ve merged with myself . The moment this true spirit breaks through the formation is the moment when I’ll be free as well . ” Lu Sheng smiled .
“Rarrgh!”
The giant black tiger roared at the skies . Countless black threads emerged from its body and connected it to Lu Sheng behind it .
All of a sudden, it shot into the air . It crashed through countless golden runic chains and shot into the skies . It plunged straight into the layers of clouds and vanished from sight .
Lu Sheng looked up at the black tiger as it broke through the formation .
“As expected of a primordial true spirit, such might!”
He lowered his head and looked at the golden runic chains on his body which were still intact .
“But… Why am I still here?” he wondered .
