Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 424 The show begins

Jian Ge, Ji Tian Ya.

This is the highest peak in Jiangnan. From here, one can observe the sun, moon, and stars, and look down upon mountains and rivers. With a level view, one can see a magnificent scene of clouds rolling and unfolding.

Lu Yang rode his escape light all the way to the top of the cliff and immediately saw the Demon-Slaying True Man sitting upright on the edge of the cliff. He sat there, not revealing any magic power, yet he still shone brightly in the world, and the surrounding wind and clouds spontaneously gathered around him.

What incredible luck!

Today, the fortune of this number one swordsman in the world has become so great that even mortals below the Foundation Establishment stage can easily see it.

"It's done."

The next second, the voice of the Demon-Slaying Master came faintly. Lü Yang dared not be negligent and hurriedly said, "Thanks to Master's guidance, this disciple has obtained the Sword Technique."

"what is it call?"

Lu Yang did not hide anything: "The newly mastered Dao Feather Nirvana Sword Technique."

The Demon-Slaying Master nodded in satisfaction before turning to look at Lü Yang, still with the same expression as when he was examining the finest leeks and rare treasures.

“Reporting to Master, I have something important to report!” Lu Yang cupped his hands and said quickly, “I have mastered the sword technique and my sword intent has reached a new level. I am very sensitive to the aura. I vaguely detected a familiar aura of Buddhist cultivators in the direction of Guandi Abyss. It is probably the work of the Pure Land. I beg Master to make a judgment.”

He did not reveal the truth directly.

After all, there is a methodology to reporting, and what can an ordinary Foundation Establishment mid-stage True Person do to report Evil-Repelling True Person and Guangming Buddha?

'It's simpler to let the demon-slaying demon do it himself.'

Through the Yun family patriarch, Lü Yang confirmed that the Evil-Slaying Immortal and the Bright Light Buddha were still inside the Guandi Abyss. As long as the Demon-Slaying Immortal investigated, he was guaranteed to catch them red-handed.

However, the Demon-Slaying Master's answer greatly surprised him.

"Oh."

The Demon-Slaying Master showed no surprise at all after hearing Lü Yang's report. Instead, he shook his head and said, "My time is almost up, so let them be."

Let them be?

Lu Yang's eyes flickered slightly, and he realized that compared to decades ago, the Demon-Slaying True Man was becoming less and less involved in affairs, and was only sitting and guarding the Extreme Heaven Cliff.

Once upon a time, he would be accompanied by several disciples sent by the Ye family to serve him. But now, when he came back, he was all alone on the huge cliff top. His clothes were fluttering in the wind, and he was all alone. His simple and low-key appearance was completely unlike that of a direct descendant of a sword-golden core family like the Ye family.

'That won't do. '

Lu Yang was alarmed. As far as he knew, this was a joint scheme by Angxiao and Guangming Buddhist, using the Evil-Slaying Immortal to deal with the Demon-Slaying Immortal.

Why did he report it?

Deliberate revenge is secondary. As a qualified Holy Sect Master, he never does anything without personal gain. How could he do something that harms others without benefiting himself?
'If I don't report them, how will the Demon-Slaying Master be prepared? Without preparation, how can they fight to the death? And if they don't fight to the death, how can I reap the benefits? The Demon-Slaying Master's Golden Essence... the Golden Essence of the world's number one swordsman—if I could get my hands on it, it would be a huge profit!'

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang quickly spoke:
He didn't forget to feign fear as he spoke: "Master, the Pure Land Buddhist monks have entered my Sword Pavilion without permission. I'm worried that this might harm you and me."

Upon hearing this, the Demon-Slaying Master glanced at him and then shook his head: "Don't worry."

"That Buddhist monk is probably just trying to scheme against me. That's normal. I doubt anyone in the world doesn't want to scheme against me these days."

Clearly, the Demon-Slaying Master was already used to it.

At the same time, Lü Yang also understood the implied meaning of those words. Indeed, in today's world, the Demon-Slaying Master is undoubtedly a thorn in everyone's side.

Because he is the best in the world!

Moreover, he is not the kind of number one who is merely praised by everyone, but a truly deserving number one who has a significant lead over the second place!
'This kind of deterrent power, while not as great as that of a True Lord in the present world, isn't far off. Even if I killed Tianqiu overseas and defeated Guangming Buddha's clone head-on, I'd still be far inferior to this cheap master. The number one in the world, the more number one you are, the more deserving of death you are!'

Lu Yang already had a somewhat fearsome reputation. But so what? Xiang Ye still dared to invite him to the Holy Sect. Although he was wary of Lu Yang's strength, he also had his own confidence and wasn't truly afraid of him.

But what if it were the Demon-Slaying Immortal instead?

Would Xiang Ye dare to invite the Demon-Slaying Immortal into the Sky-Reaching Cloud Sea? It's likely that the entire Sky-Reaching Cloud Sea would be placed under martial law before the Demon-Slaying Immortal even gets close!

Even the Sword Pavilion itself

Lu Yang shook his head inwardly. That's right, even the Sword Pavilion itself was wary of the Demon-Slaying Master, because the Demon-Slaying Master's style was too eccentric in the Sword Pavilion!
No wonder the Demon-Slaying Master had no reaction to the fact that someone was colluding with the Pure Land to plot against him, because it was only natural! In fact, in his opinion, the fact that the other party actually waited until his time was almost up before daring to make a move was already incredibly cautious.

Just as Lü Yang was pondering, the Demon-Slaying Immortal suddenly spoke up: "Yan Xiao."

"The disciple is here."

Lü Yang looked up in response, only to see the Demon-Slaying Immortal staring at him with bright eyes, seemingly wanting to say something, but at the last moment he suddenly frowned:
".who?"

The Demon-Slaying Immortal shifted his gaze, looking towards the distance beyond the Sword Pavilion. After a moment, Lü Yang's divine sense vaguely caught a commotion.

The next second, a figure flew over on a beam of light and landed on the top of the Jitian Cliff. It was Ye Shaoying, the head of the Ye family. His face was full of tension. As soon as he landed, he looked at the Demon-Slaying True Man and whispered, "A few ignorant rogue cultivators have come to the outside of the Sword Pavilion."

"Rogue cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang was stunned. When did the rogue cultivators of Jiangnan become so arrogant? They actually dared to approach the Sword Pavilion. Did they have a death wish?
Even the Demon-Slaying Master was somewhat surprised: "A rogue cultivator, why have you come here?"

"We've come to see you."

Ye Shaoying glanced cautiously at the Demon-Slaying Master, then quickly said, "The leader is Mo Shiyuan, the city lord of Jimo City."

Upon hearing this, the Demon-Slaying Master frowned.

Meanwhile, Lü Yang secretly performed a divination and quickly figured out the whole story.

Mo Shiyuan is the city lord of Jimo City, a rogue sect in Jiangnan. For generations, he has been crafting talismans for the Sword Pavilion and providing it with various cultivation resources.

More importantly, he had a past relationship with the Demon-Slaying Master.

This can be traced back to the previous Buddhist nun, Jingguan, who once went to the Jiangnan region with the intention of spreading the religion, and was therefore beheaded by the Demon-Slaying Immortal with three swords.

The reason for such a fierce conflict between the two sides was that in the previous generation of Jimo City, the Pure View Buddhist nun disregarded the wishes of the cultivators and people of Jimo City and forcibly converted them, which provoked the Demon-Slaying True Man to fight against her. In the end, Jimo City was destroyed, and only one person survived.

That person was Mo Shiyuan.

If it weren't for the Demon-Slaying Master, Mo Shiyuan's entire family would have been wiped out, and he would have had no hope of revenge in this lifetime. In fact, he would have had to become a Buddhist monk in the Pure Land.

In this respect, the Demon-Slaying Master had done him a great favor.

"Let's go see him."

The Demon-Slaying Master's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, beckoned Lü Yang to follow, and then flew towards the outside of the Sword Pavilion gate in a streak of light.

Meanwhile, inside the Abyss.

The Evil-Repelling Immortal and the Buddha of Bright Light sat facing each other, with a chessboard in front of them, on which black and white pieces were laid out, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

"Snapped!"

The next second, Master Quexie slammed his black piece heavily onto a corner of the chessboard, instantly securing the victory. Only then did he calmly say:

"The show is about to begin."
