Chapter 218 Master Wants to See You

"Mo Yangzi!"

Lu Yan frowned and immediately thought of the visiting card he received from Xiao Shang. The name written on it was Mo Yangzi of Taiyi Sect.

The other party first released his pressure without any scruples while Lu Yan was practicing, not caring at all that Lu Yan might be impacted and go insane. Then he questioned him in a harsh tone, and it was obvious that he had ill intentions.

Lu Yan naturally wouldn't show any good face to such a person. He stood up and responded calmly:

"I am Lu Yan, but I am afraid that it is unworthy of the status of a Jindan Zhenren to wantonly criticize others for cheating without confirming the facts!"

Mo Yangzi didn't expect Lu Yan to dare to refute him, and he immediately laughed in anger:
"You used the identity of an outer disciple that you bought to wantonly swindle people in Qingwu Sect, and even dared to offend me. Didn't Chu Zhuoqun teach you the rules of respecting elders and young people?"

As he spoke, Mo Yangzi took another step forward, and the pressure on him became even stronger.

An ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building can only barely stabilize his Taoist foundation and soul. Forcibly resisting the pressure from a Jindan Zhenren is likely to cause his Taoist foundation and soul to become unstable.

But Lu Yan had killed countless Jindan-stage warriors, so this little pressure was like a spring breeze to him.

Under Mo Yangzi's staring eyes, Lu Yan asked bluntly:
"Elder and younger, superior and inferior? You used your golden elixir's power to wantonly interrupt my practice, and then labeled me a traitor with just one word.

He is stubborn and only listens to the words of people from outside the sect, but he attacks disciples of his own sect without restraint. How can he be called an elder when he behaves like this?
For the sake of a word from a Jindan elder of Qingwu Sect, you are willing to run around to suppress the people of the sect. You know that you are a Jindan Zhenren of my Taiyi Sect.

If you don’t know me, you might think I’m a lackey of a subordinate sect of Qingwu Sect.”

As soon as these words came out, Mo Yangzi's expression changed suddenly.

Mo Yangzi had shown anger before, claiming that Lu Yan did not know the hierarchy of seniority, but it was more like he was trying to use this as an excuse to accuse Lu Yan of a crime.

But Lu Yan's words now directly exposed his true thoughts and made him really angry.

Theoretically speaking, Taiyi Sect is even superior to Qingwu Sect, but this is only a theoretical statement after all.

The Taiyi Sect has many factions scattered throughout the world of immortal cultivation, and many of its branches are completely unconnected to each other.

The branch of Mangshan is located in the southern wilderness, but its strength is not very strong.

The highest cultivation level among the branch is only two Great True Lords at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and several other Nascent Soul True Lords. The Taoist Lord Huashen at the source of the branch has not appeared in the world for a thousand years and is said to have already passed away.

Although it has the name of Taiyi Sect to protect it, no matter whether it is the major forces in the Southern Wilderness or the overlord of Southern Border, Qingwu Sect, they all have to show some courtesy to Taiyi Sect, but in the final analysis, the Beimang branch itself is still not strong enough.

Mo Yangzi is on good terms with Elder Xiao Han of Qingwu Sect, so he may be trying to please Elder Xiao Han and get in touch with Qingwu Sect.

In the area of ​​Southern Xinjiang and Southern Wilderness, the title of overlord of Qingwu Sect is much more useful than that of the Beimang branch of Taiyi Sect, and can bring many conveniences.

Although Mo Yangzi had such thoughts in his mind, it was one thing to bury it deep in his heart, but it was another thing to be exposed by Lu Yan.

"Bastard!"

A furious rebuke came out of Mo Yangzi's mouth, and the pressure of the early Jindan stage, wrapped around his soul and magic power, poured out in an instant, falling towards Lu Yan like a dark cloud pressing down on a city.

Lu Yan finally felt a hint of threat. He used his skills to circulate the light of merit in his body to resist the oppression from Mo Yangzi. Lu Yan's eyes fell on the other party inconspicuously.

“Judging from the pressure, he must have been promoted to the early stage of Jindan within three years, and his cultivation and foundation are not solid.

The robes on his body are more decorative than practical. If I take action first in the event of a conflict, with the help of the Four Symbols Gate and the Mysterious Yellow Merit Fire, I have a chance to seriously injure him before he uses his magic weapon and supernatural power, thus avoiding the use of the Human Emperor Banner. "

With his hanging right hand, Lu Yan formed a spell of magic without leaving any trace, ready to prepare for Mo Yangzi's sudden attack at any time.

Under Lu Yan's gaze, Mo Yangzi finally moved.

As a Jindan Zhenren, Mo Yangzi naturally has his own pride. Facing a mere cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, the suppression of a greater realm is enough to ignore everything.

He did not use any magical powers or magic weapons, but simply put the two fingers of his right hand together to form a sword and pointed at Lu Yan.

In an instant, Lu Yan seemed to hear the sound of thousands of swords chanting, as if they were going to tear Lu Yan's soul apart.

But in front of Lu Yan's powerful soul comparable to the Golden Core Realm, the sword chanting in the sky instantly dissipated into nothingness like a cow entering a sea of ​​mud, leaving only a sword mark of magic power gathered in the air.

This was a blow from the early stage of the Golden Core. Although there was no magical power or magic weapon to assist, it was not something that an ordinary foundation-building cultivator could resist. Even a great cultivator at the peak of the foundation-building stage could only surrender in front of this sword mark.

But Lu Yan stretched out his palm at this moment, and a sharp edge that seemed to be able to cut through anything appeared in Lu Yan's palm and went straight to meet the sword mark.

That was the Earthly Evil magical power that evolved from Ji Xingyao's sword-building foundation when she was promoted to the Golden Core stage.

Lu Yan used his Heavenly Merit to help Ji Xingyao advance to the Golden Core stage. In the process, he captured a bit of the charm of the Disha sword power, and it was most appropriate to use it here.

As Mo Yangzi was shocked, the sword light flickered on Lu Yan's white fingers, and he actually grabbed the sword mark.

Then he put his five fingers together, and the spirit of the Disha Sword Art crushed the sword mark, ignoring this fatal blow.

But this was just the beginning. The next moment, the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire all moved.

The natural talents of all things that man had picked up on behalf of heaven were brought to the extreme at this moment, and a gate of four symbols fell from the void to suppress it.

The method that imitated the Xuanpin Gate was almost a magical power. It crushed the sword mark almost instantly, and then the remaining force continued to fall towards Mo Yangzi.

"Bastard!"

Mo Yangzi, who had originally tried to kill Lu Yan here lightly, was furious. He actually felt a hint of threat from the Gate of Four Symbols that he had never felt before.

The magic power in his body surged. After seeing Lu Yan's seal technique that restrained the swordsmanship, Mo Yangzi instinctively abandoned the swordsmanship that he was best at and turned to using the golden elixir magic.

Flames rose in the void, and the high temperature instantly turned the area under Mo Yangzi's feet into scorched earth. A majestic fire dragon rushed out from the flames and tried to devour Lu Yan.

But in the next second, the fire dragon's devouring momentum came to an abrupt halt, and the Gate of Four Symbols fell and flames dissipated in the sky, suppressing the four symbols of earth, water, wind and fire. Even the magic of the Golden Core True Man was no exception.

This situation finally made Mo Yangzi feel fear. The magic flying sword in his body hummed softly and the seed of supernatural power bloomed, but it was too late.

The Gate of Four Symbols suppressed Mo Yangzi unreservedly, and the robes, which were more decorative than practical, were shattered. The earth, water, wind and fire moved together and completely engulfed the entire reception room.

In a violent explosion, Lu Yan turned into a stream of light and flew out of the reception room at the core of the explosion, then looked down at the remaining smoke and flames.

Such a violent collision naturally caused the entire Mangshan branch to vibrate.

A Jindan Zhenren of extraordinary fame appeared between heaven and earth, and more than thirty of them appeared in just one breath.

In addition, there were three powerful Nascent Soul consciousnesses that swept through the reception room, taking in everything on the scene.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

A Jindan Zhenren with a dignified face questioned.

The Qi training disciples outside the reception room were dumbfounded and quickly reported the whole story.

The Qi training disciple did not conceal his words, and when he finished speaking, everyone's face showed an indescribable strange look.

Even the Wei Yan Jin Dan who had raised the question at the beginning said stiffly:

"You mean, he, a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, did not launch a sneak attack, but defeated Mo Yangzi head-on?"

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? I can even make up such a lie!"

The Qigong disciples who were caught and questioned were in tears.

"Master He, everything I said is true. I am not lying at all!" Master He was about to ask again, but another Jindan raised his hand to stop him.

"How can you bully the younger generation of the sect? Mo Yangzi is not dead yet. We will know the details once we ask him."

As he spoke, Jin Dan waved his sleeves to disperse the smoke and flames, and grabbed the disheveled Mo Yangzi from the ruins.

At the last moment when the Gate of Four Symbols was suppressing him, Mo Yangzi finally succeeded in activating his innate magical power to protect himself.

Originally, the Gate of Four Symbols was unable to break through the defense of the magical power, but at the moment when the Gate of Four Symbols suppressed it, this gate that condensed the power of the four symbols of earth, water, wind and fire collapsed, and the violent explosion that opened up the chaos directly destroyed Mo Yangzi's defensive magical power.

It was precisely because of this that Mo Yangzi ended up in such a miserable situation.

Mo Yangzi was seriously injured as a result, and he was ready to hide in the ruins and use his flying sword magic weapon to kill Lu Yan directly as soon as he found an opportunity.

But Lu Yan didn't fall for Mo Yangzi's plan at all. He evacuated the ruins as soon as the Four Symbols Gate exploded, leaving Mo Yangzi alone and being watched by many real people from Taiyi Sect.

"Mo Yangzi, were the injuries on your body really caused by this young cultivator in the early stage of foundation building?"

Mo Yangzi's face turned pale when he was dragged out.

"I just let my guard down and didn't use any magical powers or weapons."

Mo Yangzi's words were tantamount to tacit approval of the matter. As for the rhetoric of taking it lightly, many Jindan Zhenren didn't care at all.

Immortal cultivators never take it lightly when fighting for life and death; there is only winning or losing.

After confirming the news, a real person immediately asked Lu Yan:

"You are a monk from my sect, why haven't I seen you before?"

Lu Yan bowed and nodded, saying, "I am Lu Yan, and I was personally introduced to the sect by Master Chu Zhuoqun."

As soon as these words were spoken, the many Jindan Zhenren present looked at each other in surprise.

In the past ten years or so, the Mangshan branch has spent a lot of money on modifying the dragon vein and feng shui bureau, and the Beimang branch is limited by its strength and controls a small number of spiritual sites and mineral veins, and the sect's expenditure deficit has gradually increased.

It was at this time that Chu Zhuoqun, who had just been promoted to the Golden Core realm, claimed that he could solve the sect’s financial crisis, so he was given a lot of power.

The real masters originally thought that after Chu Zhuoqun obtained these powers, he would lead the sect to open up new territories, or fight for secret realms to seize resources.

Who would have thought that Chu Zhuoqun actually took out the sect's roster and started selling spots for Taiyi Sect disciples, which immediately attracted a lot of aristocratic families to scramble for it.

Especially for some aristocratic families that have accumulated wealth for thousands of years, their ancestors are dying and they are in urgent need of a backer to protect the family. The Taiyi Sect's sale of quotas for outer disciples immediately solved their urgent needs.

Although he is only an outer sect disciple, it is one of the ten major sects after all. If he can be promoted to the inner sect and serve under a real master, it will be enough to ensure the safety of the family.

To this end, these immortal cultivation families have spent more than just spiritual stones, but also rare resources such as mineral veins and spiritual lands.

In the beginning, the sale of sect disciple quotas was still within a controllable range, but as time went on, the quality of sect disciples became increasingly mixed.

Especially the disciples who bought places in recent years, they are good for nothing except relying on their strong background to pile up their cultivation with elixirs, and the sect has long been complaining about this.

Without the pressure of spirit stones, many real people wanted to withdraw from the sale of sect quotas.

But no one expected that among so many people who bought the quota to be Taiyi Sect disciples, there would be a genius like Lu Yan, who could actually defeat the golden elixir with his foundation-building body.

With such talent, let alone purchasing a place, even if one takes the initiative to enter one of the top ten sects, there is a high probability that one will be able to become a disciple of a Taoist master who has reached the state of Divine Transformation.

Such a genius coming to the door on his own initiative made many real people feel a dreamlike sense of unreality.

The original statement of disqualifying those who purchased the places has become a joke in front of Lu Yan.

Which sect would actively push away such an astonishing talent?

Immediately, a Jindan Zhenren said, "Since Zhenren Chu has left your name on the sect's list, you are a disciple of my Taiyi Sect!"

"Lu Yan, right? I will immediately arrange for you to be included as my personal disciple."

"My master, Master Wu Zhenjun, is a great master in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. I wonder if you are interested in becoming Master Wu's disciple and becoming my junior apprentice brother?"

Many real people started vying for the item, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

As for Mo Yangzi who was defeated by Lu Yan, no one cared about him at all.

Mo Yangzi suddenly became anxious. Once Lu Yan gained a foothold, he would definitely be much stronger than him, the newly promoted Jindan.

There was already a great hatred between the two of them, and he certainly didn't want to see this happen, so he spoke loudly:

"He once used the name of our Taiyi Sect to deceive people in Qingwu Sect, causing Elder Xiao Han of Qingwu Sect to come to our door to question him!"

"Qingwu Sect?"

The scene where everyone was scrambling for the food suddenly became quiet.

Although they are the Taiyi Sect, they are ultimately just one of many branches. In name, they are on par with the Qingwu Sect, but deep down they have a natural fear of this overlord force that rules southern Xinjiang.

Lu Yan offended the elders of Qingwu Sect in the name of Taiyi Sect, which naturally caused many people to frown and began to hesitate whether they would offend the elders of Qingwu Sect.

Mo Yangzi was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately scolded again:
"Lu Yan has such a high level of cultivation, but he took the initiative to join our Taiyi Sect. He must have other intentions!"

Many real people looked at Lu Yan with questioning eyes.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Yan, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally spoke.

Looking directly at Mo Yangzi, Lu Yan chuckled and asked:
“Master Mo Yangzi, I wonder if that elder Xiao Han told you when he was looking for you that he had been dismissed from his position as an elder by the Yuanying Zhenjun of the Qingwu Sect and would be heading to the South China Sea to suppress the Sea Eye for three hundred years?
The Yuanying Zhenjun of Qingwu Sect did not question the matter of Qingwu Sect, so what was the intention of Zhenren Mo Yangzi when he mentioned it in Taiyi Sect?"

Mo Yangzi's expression changed drastically. Elder Xiao came to ask about Lu Yan's information but did not mention that he had been dismissed from his position as elder.

It seemed that his idea of ​​trying to please Elder Xiao was a stupid thing from the beginning.

But things had developed to this point, and Mo Yangzi could not take the initiative to bow his head and admit defeat. Instead, he gritted his teeth and continued:
"Then how can you explain why you want to join the Taiyi Sect with your level of cultivation and supernatural powers, and why you do it through the lowly means of purchasing a place?"

Lu Yan ignored Mo Yangzi, who was like a jumping clown, and looked at a familiar figure among the crowd in the sky.

"Brother He, long time no see!"

Everyone followed Lu Yan's gaze and looked at him, then their expressions were suddenly startled.

I saw a young man wearing a blue robe and holding a compass appearing in the crowd.

"See the little master!"

"Greetings to Grandmaster He!"

Many Jindan Zhenren present bowed to the foundation-building cultivator, but Lu Yan was the only one who looked at the young man with a normal expression.

This person was He Dongsheng, whom Lu Yan had not seen for a long time.

Without paying any attention to the many Jindan masters, He Dongsheng smiled and said to Lu Yan:

"Brother Lu, the master wants to see you!"
