He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

"Mu Changming! Senior is only at the Qi Refining stage, and he's so old. How can you let him go to Tongtian Peak alone?"

"This isn't reconnaissance; it's sending our senior to his death!!"

As soon as Lu Changsheng left, Princess Taiping could no longer hold back and publicly reprimanded Mu Changming.

He addressed her by her first name, no longer even calling her "senior brother," which speaks volumes about his anger.

"presumptuous!"

"A mere outer disciple dares to question an inner disciple?"

Having been publicly reprimanded by Princess Taiping, Mu Changming lost face. He snorted coldly and then suddenly waved his hand, summoning several beams of spiritual energy that descended from the sky, instantly imprisoning Princess Taiping.

"If it weren't for the fact that you are a princess of the Sun Moon Empire, I, Mu, could have suppressed you here for the mere offense of insubordination!"

The Sun and Moon Empire was powerful, but in the face of the immortal holy lands, it was like an ant. However, in the mortal world, it was a behemoth, making the surrounding small countries unable to raise their heads.

Most of the immortal disciples were born into mortal families, so it was best not to offend powerful nobles like Princess Taiping.

"Hmph, if you won't go, I, the princess, will go myself!"

Despite facing a terrifying Foundation Establishment cultivator, Princess Taiping, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, showed no weakness and refused to back down.

The moment the lotus mark flashed between his brows, he swung his sword, shattering the light barrier.

"Huh? Stop her!"

At Mu Changming's command, three inner disciples behind him maneuvered their flying swords in a triangular formation to surround Princess Taiping once again.

While everyone was engaged in battle, Mo Rou quietly retreated and, under the cover of night, chased after the direction in which Lu Changsheng had disappeared.

Princess Taiping will not be in danger, after all, Mu Changming's purpose is only to trap her and prevent him from rescuing Lu Changsheng.

By using the Tongtian Thief to kill Lu Changsheng, he could both eliminate dissidents and avoid the guilt of murdering his fellow disciples. He truly made a brilliant plan.

But Lu Changsheng wasn't stupid. This old fox was incredibly cunning; she even took over his body!

How could they not see through such a simple and obvious trap?

They still foolishly crawled inside, enjoying it immensely.

Something is wrong!

Something's not right!

Based on Mo Rou's understanding of Lu Changsheng, this old fox must have a deeper scheme!

Oh no!

It should be described as a conspiracy or trickery.

Hmph, anyway, that old guy isn't a good person~

Especially in that area, he's incredibly rude.

"Sir! You're here! We've been looking for you everywhere!"

After running all the way, Mo Rou finally spotted Lu Changsheng at the edge of the dense forest. She immediately surrounded him and started to act cute:

"You have no idea, she tore her dress and ruined her makeup while searching for you..."

"Alright, stop being so lewd!"

Lu Changsheng casually tossed a pill bottle to Mo Rou; he knew what this woman wanted the moment she opened her mouth.

"Let's get down to business, be serious!"

Mo Rou awkwardly accepted the pill bottle, then uncorked it. Looking at the small bottle filled with Qingling Pills, she instantly beamed and winked.

"Whatever Master says goes. If Master says go east, I will never go west!"

Mo Rou is a simple girl. As long as you keep giving her pills and spirit stones, you can make her kneel on the ground and call you "Master" or "Dad."

See? What an innocent girl! She only wants your money, not a lifelong commitment or anything like that.

Lu Changsheng ignored this green tea bitch and instead took out the mask [The Mask of the Abyss], which he hadn't worn in a long time, from his Qiankun bag and put it on.

Switch to larger size!

Although this main account is also a useless account, its cultivation level is still at the Qi Refining stage.

The moment Lu Changsheng put on the Mask of the Abyss, his entire demeanor changed instantly. Not only did his cultivation level completely conceal itself, but even his full head of silver hair turned jet black in an instant.

Of course, it's not that the white hair actually turned black, but rather that the dark aura emanating from the Abyss Face swirled around the hair, concealing it.

Lu Changsheng's entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change, becoming extremely mysterious and unfathomable.

Of course, the terror of the Abyss Mask is far from changing one's appearance or concealing one's aura. This mask is an extremely precious magical artifact with its own defensive capabilities.

The Face of the Abyss played a significant role in the previous battle against Ge Qing.

Although they couldn't withstand attacks from Nascent Soul level cultivators, they were still effective against ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators...

"Master, you...you..."

Looking at the completely transformed Lu Changsheng in front of her, Mo Rou was so shocked that she couldn't utter a complete sentence. After a long while, she finally blurted out:

"Sir, you look so handsome! Since we have nothing else to do, how about... we do something fun?"

"..."

Lu Changsheng was speechless. What could be happy for two adults?

Looking at the empty mountains and fields around him, he spread his hands:

"There's nothing here, what can we do?"

"Sir, having the earth as a bed and the sky as a blanket, isn't that a kind of pleasure? Just thinking about it makes me..."

"Stop!"

Lu Changsheng kicked Mo Rou away when she tried to get close to him, then spoke in a stern voice with a straight face:

"Let's get down to business first. As for you..."

"We'll see how you perform afterwards!"

Ever since she discovered that having sex with Lu Changsheng was greatly beneficial to her cultivation, and that one session of yin-yang harmony was equivalent to three months of her arduous training, Mo Rou has been like... (ten thousand words omitted here).

"Alright, sir, don't try to fool them~"

Mo Rou dusted herself off, not angry at all, and snuggled up to Lu Changsheng again:

"Serious business? Sir, you're not really going up the mountain, are you?"

Lu Changsheng is only at the Qi Refining stage, and Mo Rou is only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. There are also Foundation Establishment cultivators in Tongtian Peak, and there must be more than one.

As Mo Rou planned, she would wander around at the foot of the mountain, and if she got bored, she would find a place to have some wild...battle to kill time. When it was almost time, she would go back to report.

Even if they found nothing, and were severely humiliated and punished by Mu Changming and the others afterward, it would be better than losing their lives.

"We're not going up the mountain. It's so late at night, and we're in the middle of nowhere. We can't exactly take you to see the moon, can we?"

Lu Changsheng smiled contemptuously. If Mo Rou could think of such a lazy way, would Mu Changming not?

It shouldn't be long before Mu Changming sends someone over to check if Lu Changsheng has gone up the mountain.

If he were caught slacking off, it wouldn't be as simple as just a few slaps; it would give Mu Changming the perfect opportunity to strike.

Not to mention, Lu Changsheng has never been a magnanimous person; if someone wants to kill him, he has no reason not to retaliate...

Seeing Lu Changsheng's confident demeanor, Mo Rou wanted to offer a few more words of advice, but considering that the old man wouldn't listen to her at all, she had no choice but to shut up.

Looking at the seemingly endless Tongtian Peak, Lu Changsheng's lips curled into a slight smile:

"Quickly, fly on your sword and take this old man up!"

"Master, this won't work!"

Although flying on a sword is fast, there is nothing to rely on in the air, and nothing to hide from; you are simply an easy target.

"They'll definitely discover our sword-flying ability, and then..."

madman!

Old madman!

He's still a reckless old madman!

Mo Rou was filled with doubt and even considered backing out.

"Stop nagging, just do as I say!"

Lu Changsheng completely lost his patience and reprimanded him coldly:

"If you're scared, then leave now! But if you leave, don't blame me for finding another woman!"

"..."

After only a moment's hesitation, Mo Rou manipulated her flying sword, carrying Lu Changsheng as they flew openly towards the mountaintop.

If Lu Changsheng doesn't want her anymore, how will Mo Rou extract spirit stones and pills from this sucker to help her Feng-gege cultivate?

Anyway, I'm a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and I still have the secret treasure Brother Feng gave me. If things really get dangerous, I'll just abandon this old codger and escape on my own.

boom!

boom!

Sure enough, the flying sword was detected by the defensive array hidden at the mountaintop as soon as it reached the halfway point of the mountain.

In an instant, flames shot into the sky.

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

"Someone has trespassed on Tongtian Peak! Go and report to the chief immediately!"

"Brothers, grab your weapons! Let's make sure they don't leave here alive!"

"Kill! Kill!"

......

Amidst shouts of battle, hundreds of torches were lit instantly, illuminating Tongtian Peak as bright as day.

Mu Changming, who was hiding at the foot of the mountain, originally planned to send someone to cause trouble for Lu Changsheng, but after seeing the towering flames on the mountaintop, he was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Lu Changsheng to actually have the guts to come up the mountain...

"That good-for-nothing Zhao Ke keeps telling me that this old guy is no ordinary person, but what's the result?"

"They're just intimidated by me, they have me completely under their control, which saves me the trouble of doing it myself!"

......

"Who dares to trespass on my Tongtian Peak? State your name!"

As Lu Changsheng and Mo Rou landed on the mountaintop on their flying swords, hundreds of bandits wielding curved knives instantly surrounded them.

But no one dared to rush up and make a move. The reason was simple: anyone who could fly on a sword must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The only way to deal with a Foundation Establishment cultivator is to be a bandit leader who is also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"The immortal disciples have arrived! Quickly summon your leader to come and meet this old man!"

When Lu Changsheng spoke, he not only frightened the hundreds of bandits around him, but also startled Mo Rou, who was standing next to him.

Weren't we here to suppress bandits?

Why is Lu Changsheng still so defiant? Anyone who doesn't know better would think he's here to read out an imperial edict and offer amnesty!

"presumptuous!"

"Just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, what's with the attitude? Our leader is an immortal too!"

As expected, Lu Changsheng's arrogance and domineering attitude instantly displeased a bandit, who immediately stepped forward, pointed at Lu Changsheng's nose, and cursed:

"The boss is so busy, how could he possibly have time to see a nobody like you..."

boom!

Lu Changsheng didn't waste any words and pushed out with a palm.

As soon as the "Flame Palm" was unleashed, the bandit who had stood out from the crowd was engulfed in flames and burned to ashes before he could even scream.

"Can we call your boss out now?"

Beneath the surface of the abyss, Lu Changsheng appeared like a demon who had crawled out of hell, his body constantly emitting black mist. He was ruthless and cruel to the extreme.

"If that doesn't work, I'll kill one person every half an incense stick's time, and three people every full incense stick's time!"

"I'd like to see if the bandit leader inside will still be able to stay put after I've killed all of you little bastards!"

"..."

"..."

None of the hundreds of bandits dared to utter a word; each gripped a curved knife, drenched in sweat, and kept retreating.

The bandits at the back scrambled into the cave and reported the incident to their leader.

Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed, waiting quietly.

He wasn't bragging; most of the bandits surrounding him were ordinary people, with only a small portion being cultivators, all of whom were at the Qi Refining stage.

During a normal Qi Refining period, Lu Changsheng, who possesses the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, Flame Palm, and Ninefold Thunder Light Sword, would be instantly killed in one move.

Only Foundation Establishment cultivators, capable of manipulating flying swords to slay enemies from thousands of miles away, can rival Lu Changsheng.

"Don't interfere later, just watch the show!"

Lu Changsheng used his divine sense to transmit his voice to Mo Rou, who widened her eyes in confusion upon hearing it.

If you don't take action yourself, do you think this old man can handle a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Half an incense stick later, Lu Changsheng, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

"Half an incense stick's time has passed. It seems your leader doesn't care about your lives at all!"

As he spoke, amidst the terrified expressions of the bandits, Lu Changsheng gathered flames in his palm and struck out at three or four bandits in front of him!

boom!

The blazing flames swelled in the wind, instantly closing to a distance of ten meters, and charged forward fiercely.

Three or four bandits fled in terror, wanting to curse Lu Changsheng's ancestors. Wasn't it said that only one person should be killed within half an incense stick's time? How could this be...?

Swish!

Just as the flames were about to engulf the three or four bandits, a flying sword shot out from the cave, instantly shattering the flames.

Immediately afterwards, three Foundation Establishment cultivators slowly emerged from the cave.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group had a gloomy face and stared directly at Lu Changsheng, as if he were about to breathe fire.

"..."

Mo Rou's heart sank. Who would have thought that the small Tongtian Peak would actually hide three Foundation Establishment cultivators? This is troublesome.

If a fight breaks out later, not to mention that old geezer Lu Changsheng, even she herself might not be able to escape!

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng, that old fox, was shrewd. Instead of going deep into the cave, he forced the bandit leader to come out.

Otherwise, it's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!

"I am Chou Rang, the chief thief of the Heavenly Thieves!"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group strode confidently towards Lu Changsheng, his anger barely contained despite his fury.

"Fellow Daoist's actions are even more bandit-like than ours!"

"..."

Mo Rou twitched the corners of her mouth. She suddenly wanted to laugh, but felt it would be too impolite.

She still couldn't figure out what Lu Changsheng was trying to do after all these twists and turns.

Finally, amidst Mo Rou's expectant gaze, Lu Changsheng, wearing the Mask of the Abyss, spoke:

"I have come today to discuss a business deal with you all!"

"A deal that concerns the lives of all of you!"
