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

Chapter 54 Crisis Amidst Four Fronts

Now is the time to consolidate our foundation.

Seeing Princess Taiping barge in so recklessly, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel displeased.

He was just about to reprimand him.

But when I turned my gaze, I saw that Princess Taiping's face was deathly pale.

She was breathing rapidly, and the sword in her hand was broken in half.

Before Lu Changsheng could ask, she quickly explained:

"Senior... there's someone!"

"Just now... after the lightning stopped, a young man suddenly appeared outside the courtyard!"

Lu Changsheng frowned: "Who is it?"

Bai Xue shook her head, her eyes filled with lingering fear after surviving the ordeal.

"I have no idea……"

He didn't say anything, just stood at the bottom of the stone steps, his back to me. But I... I couldn't even get within ten feet!

"I only took one step forward, and the sword broke by itself..."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Changsheng's expression grew even more solemn.

It can appear silently behind the Shangyun Heavenly Palace and even cause Bai Xue's sword to disintegrate on its own.

This person's cultivation level is at least at the sixth level of the Golden Core realm or higher.

But why would someone like that target me?

Unable to come up with a solution, Lu Changsheng simply frowned.

"Let's go out and take a look!"

After saying that, he suddenly stood up and strode towards the courtyard gate.

You can push the door open and go out.

There was no one outside the courtyard.

Huh? Is this some kind of ghost?

Lu Changsheng carefully looked around.

It should be noted that the previous landslides and earthquakes, along with the raging fires, had severely damaged the surrounding vegetation and trees.

But now everything seems to have been leveled by a powerful force.

Looking around, you can't even find a single withered blade of grass.

It was as if that astonishing phenomenon had never happened in the world.

So weird!

What kind of person could have such an ability?

Where are they?

Lu Changsheng turned his head and asked again.

But Bai Xue shook her head with a puzzled look on her face.

She pointed into the distance.

"I don't know. He was standing there before, but now it's as if he never existed."

"Senior, have we encountered a ghost?!"

Lu Changsheng did not answer.

Encountering a ghost?

It would be really interesting to encounter ghosts in this celestial abode!

Compared to ghosts, he was more afraid of encountering people with ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He then decisively used his divine sense to scan the surrounding area of several dozen feet.

But the result was still nothing.

If the other party really came, they must have deliberately concealed their presence, not wanting to be discovered.

Moreover, the opponent's methods far surpass my current level.

Just as doubts began to cloud his mind.

A slightly weak voice suddenly came from within the dantian:

"Don't bother looking, they're long gone."

"Who is it?"

Lu Changsheng transmitted his thoughts.

"Of course, it's someone who's helping you."

The Devouring Heaven Cauldron's words left Lu Changsheng completely baffled.

"Old Tun, is there anyone who can help me in this godforsaken place?"

"Are you kidding me?"

The Devouring Cauldron paused, then its tone became unusually solemn.

"I'm not joking."

"Actually, I didn't tell you earlier that there were actually three Heavenly Punishment Lightning Eyes that you saw."

"With the power of these three paths, it is enough to cleave you into nothingness, and for the two of us, there is only eternal damnation."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine.

I originally thought Lao Tun was confident and at ease, but I never expected that he had just walked through the gates of hell without even realizing it.

He asked somewhat nervously, "There are three heavenly punishments in total, what about the remaining two?"

The Devouring Heaven Cauldron replied, "The remaining two lightning tribulations were forcibly erased, and even the traces of the Heavenly Dao were wiped clean."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng was shocked.

Can it interfere with heavenly tribulations?

Is this something that can really be done by human effort alone?

And he's still so young.

Thinking of this, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Lu Changsheng.

Then a name immediately came to mind:

"Lark?"

He vaguely remembered that Ji Jiufeng had told him that although Yun Quezi was an old monster, his figure and appearance were like those of a young man in his twenties.

but......

That old bastard always complained that his pig had taken advantage of his precious apprentice.

If it weren't for Ji Jiufeng stopping him, he probably would have torn himself to pieces long ago.

Now, at this critical juncture of life and death, even if he doesn't add fuel to the fire, he should at least stand by and watch the show!

But now that he's actually offering help, what exactly is he planning?

Lu Changsheng remained silent for a long time.

What exactly is this old man trying to do?

Was it out of consideration for Ji Jiufeng? Or was there another motive?

Or perhaps... they don't want the sect to lose a "prodigy"?

Lu Changsheng really couldn't understand it.

But one thing he was very clear about was that he owed this favor no matter what.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it!"

"Snow White!"

Lu Changsheng suddenly turned around, and even his tone became much calmer.

"Remember this: pretend you didn't see that person."

"Also, what happened today must not be told to anyone, do you understand?"

Princess Taiping immediately nodded.

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

At this point, Princess Taiping noticed that the senior in front of her seemed somewhat different from before.

Although he still looked old and frail, his eyes were bright and lively, and he showed no signs of the decay and deterioration that one would expect from an elderly person.

Moreover, is the aura and pressure displayed by this senior body something that an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess?

Seeing that Bai Xue was staring at him without blinking.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but smile and wave his hand, saying:

"Alright, you little brat, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Is there something on my face?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Taiping immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Senior, you've successfully established your foundation?"

"Haha, isn't that obvious?"

"Alright, you should also hurry up and cultivate, and try to establish your foundation as soon as possible, because the days ahead are probably not going to be peaceful."

......

The Hall of Enforcement, a side hall.

The flickering candlelight cast a cold glow on the bluestone floor.

Liu Tong stood with his hands behind his back by the window.

He wore a dark-colored law enforcement robe, which made his figure appear straight and slender.

"How's the investigation going on Tongtian Peak?"

As Liu Tong's confidant, Li Yao naturally had no choice but to take on such an important task.

Upon hearing Liu Tong's question, he dared to clasp his hands and bow.

He answered with considerable caution:

"Yes, senior brother, we have indeed made a discovery."

"Oh, what did you find?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tong immediately became interested.

Li Yao paused, then lowered his voice and said:

"We did indeed smell the scent of the Taiyin Poison Spider in a cave near Tongtian Peak."

Liu Tong frowned slightly: "Taiyin Poison Spider? So, Mo Rou wasn't lying to me?"

Li Yao shook his head.

"Senior brother, it's too early to draw such a conclusion."

"Logically speaking, the Taiyin Poison Spider, as the companion demon beast of the Taiyin Dew Fruit, would not easily move its nest. Furthermore, since everyone has been killed, it has even less reason to escape."

"But......"

Liu Tong glared at Li Yao with displeasure.

"But what? Why are you stammering in front of me?!"

Li Yao felt immense awe for his senior brother.

At this moment, I could see that he was getting a little angry.

Li Yao naturally dared not keep them in suspense any longer.

"Senior brother, the problem is that apart from the lingering scent of the poisonous spiders, not even half a corpse of any of the sect's disciples could be found at the scene."

"So I feel there must be something fishy about this. Should we report it to our sect?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tong immediately turned his head and stared intently at Li Yao.

"Fool, some things are nothing on the scale, but once you put them on the scale, they weigh a ton."

"If the sect intervenes, even if they discover the Taiyin Dew Fruit, will such a treasure still have anything to do with us?"

"Therefore, this matter must absolutely not go through the sect."

"And the fewer people who know about it, the better."

Upon hearing this, Li Yao immediately nodded.

"So, senior brother, what should we do next?"

"What should we do? Of course, we should pick the softest persimmons to squeeze! Tomorrow, come with me to find that old bastard Lu Changsheng!"

Li Yao was somewhat suspicious.

Is it really necessary to go to such great lengths to deal with that old geezer Lu Changsheng?

And is it really necessary to go to his door in person?

"Senior brother, what do you expect this old man, who's practically on his deathbed, to know?"

"Even if we really need to question them, why not just grab the nearest one and scare them a little?"

Liu Tong did not answer directly, but instead continued speaking to himself:

"Two days ago, Elder Mu Feng disappeared."

Li Yao was taken aback.

"Mu Feng, whose son died?"

"Yes," Liu Tong replied.

"Senior brother, what's so strange about not seeing you for two days?"

"These elders in the sect are either in seclusion or traveling overseas; they often don't show their faces for a year or two at a time, don't they?"

Liu Tong seemed to have guessed what Li Yao would say, so he raised his voice by three points.

He sneered, "Li Yao, if I told you that Mu Feng went to Lu Changsheng's residence two days ago and then disappeared without a trace, what would you think?"

"Hmm?! Senior Brother Liu, what do you mean?"

"Hehe, what I mean is, we absolutely mustn't underestimate this Lu Changsheng!"

......

The next day.

Liu Tong stood at the entrance of Lu Changsheng's courtyard.

He stared at Lu Changsheng's wrinkled face.

I was extremely surprised.

This is Lu Changsheng? This old thing has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage? And it's only been a few days?

Since the two had never met.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng naturally did not recognize Li Tong.

He noticed that the person in front of him was looking at him with curiosity.

Lu Changsheng was naturally also somewhat uncomfortable.
