Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 298 A sneak attack beyond one's level, unstoppable!
"What are you, fellow Daoist?"

At the top of Gantang Road, Li, the sea herder, and Xiaohai Zhenren, seeing his divine power broken, immediately tensed up and looked solemnly at the newcomer.

Then he saw the beam of light suddenly separate.

An elderly man with white hair and a hunched back walked out, his expression showing a hint of excitement, which immediately stunned him.

"The old ghost of the Yun family?"

"What did you say!" Upon hearing this, the Yun family patriarch immediately revealed his anger, and the [Yuan Tu Treasure Talisman] appeared in his hand, and the stunning sword energy from before also reappeared.

On the other side, Master Xiaohai sighed.

With a sigh, he loosened his grip on a certain trump card that he had been holding tightly in his sleeve, and his murderous intent instantly diminished by ninety percent.

After all, this is a True Person of the Sword Pavilion.

Unless they decide to flee to Jiangbei, even if the Li family dares to disrespect the other party or even drive them away, they would never actually kill them.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, what brings you to my Li family?"

Master Xiaohai remained calm, and behind him, the Gantang Path emitted countless rays of light, which intertwined and formed an array, evolving once again into an endless blue sea.

Because the other party made a big show of himself when he first appeared and even unleashed an incredibly stunning sword strike, he didn't initially even suspect that it was the Yun family patriarch. Naturally, he was quite surprised by the result. However, after discovering that the one who made the move was actually the Yun family patriarch, he quickly regained his composure.

'Do you think I don't know what kind of skills this old man has?'

"A silver-plated spearhead, all show and no substance! It must have just used some external object, like a magical artifact or talisman, to show off to me!"

Faced with Master Xiaohai's tough stance, the Yun family patriarch was immediately enraged:
"Why have I come here? Naturally, it's to investigate the recent demonic calamity. I suspect that someone in the Li family is colluding with the demonic path. Why don't you come out and stand trial?"

After speaking, the sword energy of the [Yuan Tu Treasure Talisman] in his hand intensified.

However, how could Master Xiaohai possibly agree to such an unreasonable demand? His aura suddenly surged: "Colluding with the demonic path? Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far!"

Meanwhile, on Gantang Road, inside the Li family compound.

As Master Xiaohai stepped in to block the Yun family patriarch, Li Qingyun, the head of the Li family, breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he turned around, his expression froze.

Behind him, a young man in a black robe suddenly appeared, his hands behind his back, looking relaxed. But the moment he appeared, he seemed to become the center of the world, his dark eyes staring straight at him, his invisible gaze like a mountain pressing down on him.

'There's another real person here!?'

In an instant, Li Qingyun felt a chill run through his body and soul. Without a word, he knelt down and bowed, then shouted at the top of his lungs, almost roaring:
"I've seen a real person!"

The sound exploded, but dissipated within three feet of Li Qingyun, leaving no trace. All that followed was the mocking smile of the newcomer.

Looking around, only the area where Li Qingyun and the newcomer were located was isolated; everything else became shrouded in mist, as if it did not exist.

'Which Sword Pavilion master is this? Such cunning is not typical of the Sword Pavilion!'

In Li Qingyun's view, whether the Sword Pavilion Master did good or bad deeds, he was always upright and honest. No matter what tricks you tried, I would cut you down with a single sword.

But this person in front of me is completely different!
Judging from his actions, he was clearly using the Yun family patriarch outside as cannon fodder to attract the attention of his own master, so that he could sneak in and launch a sneak attack!

'You beast, huh?'

Meanwhile, Lü Yang was observing Li Qingyun with great interest.

Direct combat has never been his style. Unless absolutely necessary, he prefers to fight against opponents of lower cultivation levels when he is of higher cultivation level, or to ambush opponents of the same cultivation level when he is of the same cultivation level.

"Better to die for my fellow Daoist than for myself"—that is the true spirit of the Holy Sect.

So although he had already decided to rob the Li family of the beachcombers, out of caution, he still sent the Yun family patriarch, who was just cannon fodder, to test the waters first. As a result, he actually found out something.

Thinking of this, he suddenly produced an ancient-looking bronze bell in his hand, and smiled at Li Qingyun: "Where did you get this?"

Li Qingyun looked up and saw the bronze bell in Lü Yang's hand. His heart sank. After all, this [Zhaoyuan Bell] was hidden in the deepest part of the family's treasure trove and was even sealed tightly with a Foundation Building Formation. Yet now it was in the hands of the other party!
'not good.!'

Li Qingyun's lips trembled, and he looked up instinctively to explain, but he met Lü Yang's eyes and felt his consciousness sink.

Golden Talent: Marionette!

It was like a gentle breeze that soothed all the turmoil in Li Qingyun's heart and gradually calmed his face, which had been filled with undisguised fear.

The next second, he explained calmly, "This treasure was found by us inside that fragment of a grotto-heaven. It should be a pass to enter and exit. As long as you hold this treasure, stand at the entrance of the grotto-heaven fragment, and shake it three times, you can open a portal to enter."

".oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang narrowed his eyes: 'A fragment of a grotto-heaven!? Could the Li family really be so lucky as to encounter a fragment of a grotto-heaven?'

In an instant, Lü Yang felt no joy, only icy coldness.

A small family that was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment encountered a fragment of a cave heaven left behind by a True Monarch and started to prosper from there. He couldn't believe how strange that sounded!
Is this another bait trick? Is Jian Ge using this tactic too?
Just as Lü Yang was pondering, suddenly, a divine sense descended from the sky, followed by an angry voice: "Who dares to trespass on my property!?"

The next second, Master Xiaohai fell from the sky.

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang looked up. Not only Lü Yang, but also Li Qingyun standing beside him, and all the Li clan members in Gantang Road.

"Are you talking about me?"

The same movements, the same sounds.

A single, simple word plunged Master Xiaohai into an icy abyss, leaving him staring in disbelief at his clansmen who, though their faces were familiar, were now like complete strangers.

'What kind of sorcery is this?!'

Shocked, Master Xiaohai was about to take out the trump card hidden in his sleeve when he was met with a majestic phantom appearing behind Lü Yang.

"You devil! What do you intend to do to me?"

"Xiaohai greets his master!"

The fear on Xiaohai Zhenren's face, now tinged with the "Puppet on a String" spell, was gone. Like Li Qingyun and the other members of the Li clan, his face was filled with loyalty.

Lü Yang stood in the hall, examining the treasures that Master Xiaohai had just offered up.

That was also a talisman, and at a glance, its attribute seemed to be fire, with considerable power. It was clearly the trump card he had been hiding in his sleeve.

To be fair, the Li family of the beachcombers actually have quite a deep hidden foundation.

Besides this talisman, there is also a superior spiritual treasure, the "Expanding Territory Ship," along with the clan-protecting formation. Even in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, this is considered top-tier.

If Lü Yang were truly foolish enough to openly and brazenly attack, allowing Master Xiaohai to be well-prepared and employ all his methods, Lü Yang would actually be in considerable danger in a direct confrontation. After all, the quality of the clone he was using this time was too poor to withstand his high level of magical power output.

'Luckily I was cautious!'

By feigning an attack on one side while secretly advancing another, Xiaohai Zhenren was easily subdued by Lü Yang before he could even use anything, without expending much effort.

"As expected, a true battle of magic requires attacking opponents of higher levels and launching a sneak attack."

Lu Yang sighed, then looked at Master Xiaohai with a solemn expression: "Tell me in detail about the fragment of the cave heaven that your Li family discovered."
