Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 214 Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu, Qingquan Palace

Under the dual intimidation of Lu Feng's icy gaze and Yu Chan Dao Ren's clenched fist, Xu Lin had long since lost all the airs of the Xu family patriarch.

They no longer have any backbone or stance to uphold.

He collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, his robes soaked with cold sweat, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at the two of them.

Whenever Daoist Yuchan spoke with a slightly harsher tone, he would shrink back like a frightened rabbit, fearing that if he hesitated even slightly, he would suffer the same fate as Xu Ziru and the others.

In this way, the interrogation encountered almost no obstacles.

In less than the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, Xu Lin told everything he knew in one go, not daring to hide anything, for fear that any omissions would anger the two menacing figures before him.

According to Xu Lin's confession, Lu Feng and Yu Chan Dao Ren learned the details.

Wang Lingdaoren did indeed come to Wuque City specifically to see them. He stopped in Wuque City for a temporary rest and happened to run into them.

Of course, Wang Lingdao's "rest" was just an excuse. His real purpose was to use the name of Longhu Mountain to plunder the Xu family and obtain some cultivation resources.

After all, the Xu family was a powerful clan in Wuque City. Although they were not strong, they had accumulated a lot of wealth and spiritual materials, which was a "fat piece of meat" delivered to Wang Lingdao's door.

As for the Xu family of Wuque City and Wang Lingdao on Longhu Mountain, there are indeed some connections, but they only remain superficial.

Normally, in order to seek the protection of Longhu Mountain, the Xu family would regularly send some resources to Daoist Wang Ling in exchange for him not causing trouble for the Xu family, and also to prevent other forces from easily provoking the Xu family.

However, when it comes to actual connections, they are pitifully few.

Wang Ling Daoist might not even come to Wuque City once a year, and the Xu family has no right to take the initiative to contact him. The relationship between the two is more like a fragile exchange of interests.

For Xu Lin, Wang Lingdao's visit was an unexpected "opportunity".

He had originally intended to take advantage of this rare opportunity to cultivate a good relationship with Daoist Wang Ling, and to present him with generous gifts. Perhaps in the future, if he encountered any trouble, he could ask the other party for help, and there might even be an opportunity to strengthen the connection between the Xu family and Longhu Mountain.

He hadn't expected that before his plans could even be realized, he would already have offended Lu Feng and Daoist Yu Chan, ending up in this predicament.

Wang Lingdao was in a similarly miserable situation at this moment.

He was sealed inside the jade carving, unable to speak, but the look of terror and regret on his face was unmistakable.

Before setting off, he thought it was just an ordinary mission to go down the mountain. He thought that Lu Feng was just a self-taught Foundation Establishment cultivator from a small sect, Xuan Yin Guan. In terms of strength and supernatural abilities, he was far inferior to him, a high-level cultivator from the orthodox Longhu Mountain.

He even thought to himself that if he could just block Lu Feng's way and casually beckon him with a flick of his finger, he could easily capture him.

Even if the other party is accompanied by Daoist Yuchan, he is just a rogue cultivator who has just mastered supernatural powers and could never be his match.

And what happened? He was caught off guard and ended up being easily captured by Lu Feng, becoming a prisoner without even a chance to resist.
Lu Feng and Yu Chan Daoist showed no emotion after interrogating Xu Lin, the patriarch of the Xu family.

Clearly, not much useful information was extracted from him.

This guy is just a local tyrant with no ambition. He only cares about the interests of Wuque City and knows almost nothing about the core situation of Longhu Mountain or Wang Lingdaoren's purpose.

Its only value might be stopping Lu Feng and Wang Lingdao, allowing them to fight in Wuque City.

Of course, Xu Lin also has some additional functions.

Lu Feng captured him and refined him in an instant. Under the laws of the Lord's World, Xu Lin abandoned everything from the past and completely devoted himself to Lu Feng.

Once freed from his restraints, Xu Lin immediately got up from the ground, straightened his disheveled robes, and quickly walked to Lu Feng, bowing respectfully.

When he met Lu Feng again, the fear and cowardice in his eyes were gone, replaced by an almost fanatical loyalty, as if Lu Feng was his only faith.

He raised his head slightly and said in a firm voice:
"loyalty!"

Lu Feng looked at the fanatical loyalty in Xu Lin's eyes, but his face remained calm.

Lu Feng has plenty of loyal subordinates at his disposal.

Xu Lin has just joined and is still weak. Only after he has made achievements will he be worthy of his attention.

Lu Feng waved his hand casually and said in a flat tone:

"Stand aside."

"Yes!"

Xu Lin immediately bowed in response, quickly retreated to a corner, and stood upright like a guard waiting for orders, his gaze always respectfully fixed on Lu Feng, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

With a light snap of his fingers, the petrified state of Wang Lingdao's upper body gradually faded under Lu Feng's control.

The cold, hard jade gradually warmed up like skin, and even the frozen expression of terror on Wang Lingdao's face slowly relaxed.

As the petrification subsided, Wang Lingdao's sluggish thinking gradually returned to normal.

He blinked blankly at first, seemingly not yet realizing his situation. But when he saw Lu Feng and Yu Chan Dao Ren in front of him, as well as Xu Lin in the corner, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly came to his senses.

As soon as he regained consciousness, his survival instinct made him struggle violently, letting out angry growls as he tried to break free of his restraints.

But he soon realized something was wrong. Only his upper body had returned to normal. He could raise his arms slightly and turn his neck, but his limbs and lower body remained frozen in place, like jade carvings, unable to move even an inch.

What made him even more desperate was that the Foundation Establishment True Essence in his body was like frozen river water in a canal, completely stagnant. No matter how he tried to activate it, he couldn't use it at all, and he couldn't even cast the most basic spells.

Lu Feng and Yu Chan Daoist stood aside, calmly watching Wang Ling Daoist perform.

He twisted his body forcefully, trying to break free from the jade carving's restraints; he gritted his teeth and channeled his true energy, veins bulging on his forehead, but he was unable to break the stalemate.

Under Lu Feng's special petrification seal, Wang Lingdao tried everything he could, mobilizing his true essence, summoning supernatural powers, and even attempting to forcefully break the seal using the secret techniques of Longhu Mountain, but all his efforts were in vain.

All of this was destined to be in vain. Wang Lingdao could only watch helplessly as he was trapped in this half-human, half-jade state, growing increasingly desperate.

Before long, Wang Ling Dao Ren gradually came to terms with reality, lowered his head, and let Lu Feng decide his fate.

Seeing that he had given up resisting, Yu Chan Daoist immediately stepped forward, staring sharply at Wang Ling Daoist, and fired off a series of questions like a machine gun.

At this moment, Wang Lingdao was utterly despondent and had nothing more to hide, revealing everything he knew.

Hearing the results of the interrogation, Lu Feng sighed softly, his words tinged with emotion:
"It seems that even Longhu Mountain, as the leader of the Xuanmen sect in Liang Kingdom and revered as a sacred place of Xuanmen by the world, cannot escape the power struggles of the secular world and is rife with so much filth and corruption!"

Longhu Mountain is ultimately not a territory under Lu Feng's control that is bound by the laws of a lord's world. The cultivators there are also human beings, with emotions and desires, and interests at stake.

The stereotype that those on Longhu Mountain are all enlightened people is unacceptable.
From Wang Lingdao's words, Lu Feng also learned why Wang Lingdao had specially come to the border of Longhu Mountain to intercept him. The forces on Longhu Mountain were complex and intertwined. Lu Feng's status as an inner sect elder was obtained through Yunlong Daoist, who reported to and obtained the approval of the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

Lu Feng naturally joined the ranks of the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and became a member of his faction.

Wang Lingdao, on the other hand, came from another faction on Longhu Mountain called Qingquan Hall.

The master of Qingquan Hall on Longhu Mountain is of the same generation as the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. His cultivation has also reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Like the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, he is also seeking the opportunity to forge a Golden Core.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Longhu Mountain is no longer the prosperous place it once was, and can no longer support two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators seeking gold. Therefore, in the struggle for opportunities and resources to seek gold, the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and the current Palace Master of Qingquan Hall have become mortal enemies.

In any other place, the current Celestial Master on Longhu Mountain would have long been locked in a fierce battle with the Lord of Qingquan Hall, with the outcome decided in a life-or-death struggle.

However, on Longhu Mountain, although the old Celestial Master was old and had been detached from worldly affairs for many years, he was still just old, not dead.

The deterrent effect remained, and although the cultivators on Longhu Mountain fought incessantly, they dared not kill their fellow disciples.

The power struggles and resource competition within Longhushan have always been kept within a range that is acceptable to everyone.

The struggle between the two factions is not only a battle between the current Celestial Master and the Lord of Qingquan Palace, but also a clash between the lower-level cultivators of the two factions.

Lu Feng's joining Longhu Mountain at this time naturally draws him into the vortex of the struggle between the two factions, leaving him with a host of troubles.

"It is a bit disgusting, but I have the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage. Compared with the Xuanmen inheritance on Longhu Mountain, these troubles are not worth mentioning!"

After uncovering these troublesome matters on Longhu Mountain from Wang Lingdaoren's mouth, both Yuchandaoren and Lu Feng remained calm and composed.

On Longhu Mountain, the power struggle between the two factions was certainly troublesome, but these troubles had no effect on Lu Feng at all under his strong and powerful fists.

Whether it's the current Celestial Master on Longhu Mountain or the Qingquan Palace faction, if they dare to provoke Lu Feng, he wouldn't mind using his late-stage Foundation Establishment strength to teach those ignorant cultivators on Longhu Mountain a lesson.

He couldn't reason with people, but Lu Feng also knew a little about martial arts.

After interrogating Wang Lingdao, Lu Feng rested for a while in Wuque City. With the help of Xu Lin, the patriarch of the Xu family, he plundered all the well-known cultivators in Wuque City, enslaving and subjugating them all.

The cultivation resources were bagged up, and the inheritance of cultivation techniques was also stored in the scripture pavilion of the Bone Spire.

The harvest wasn't much, but it was still much richer than that of the average cultivation family in Lu Feng's territory.

The area covered by Longhu Mountain has relatively abundant resources.

"The crow soars with divine spirit!"

Lu Feng sat in the exclusive seat reserved for Xu Lin, the head of the Xu family, and perused the supernatural powers cultivated by the Xu family, increasing his wisdom and knowledge.

After looting Wuque City, Daoist Yuchan immediately sent a message to Daoist Yulong, informing him of everything that had happened in Wuque City.

On Mount Longhu, in the palace of Elder Yunlong, the outer sect leader, Daoist Yunlong was sitting cross-legged on a jade bed, cultivating with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a golden light pierced through the palace's protective array and flew to Yunlong Daoist's side.

"Hmm? A message from Daoist Yuchan of Xuanyin Temple!"

Daoist Yunlong slowly opened his eyes and received the message. When he saw the information in the message, his eyes widened immediately.

Yunlong Daoist slapped the bed, his face slightly flushed, and said angrily:

"You damned old Taoist priest from Qingquan Palace! You actually sent Wang Ling Daoist down the mountain to intercept Lu Feng and the others as they ascended. You're utterly arrogant, domineering, and despicable..."

Daoist Yunlong angrily berated the Qingquan Palace lineage, but after his anger subsided, he gradually calmed down and pondered:
"No, this matter is beyond my control. I must report it to the Celestial Master and ask him for a decision!"

Yunlong Daoist himself is also in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and he understands the gap between these realms best.

Although he had entered this realm and mastered a Cloud and Cloud Divine Power, there was still a gap in cultivation and combat power between them, even though they were both at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Daoist Yunlong knew he was no match for Daoist Wang Ling of the Qingquan Palace lineage.

Wang Lingdao was also a core cultivator of the Qingquan Palace lineage. He had cultivated supernatural powers for many years and was unparalleled in battle, making him a well-known figure on Longhu Mountain.

Now, the Taoist Wang Ling has actually fallen to Lu Feng of Xuan Yin Temple, which undoubtedly gives Lu Feng of Xuan Yin Temple a real achievement even before he has set foot on Longhu Mountain.

This achievement is enough to catch the eye of the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

After thinking for a while, Daoist Yunlong quickly organized the information he knew, then set off in a beam of light towards the Celestial Master's Hall on Mount Longhu.

Inside the Celestial Master Hall, a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a purple robe, exuding a noble and ethereal aura, was meditating with his eyes closed in front of the statue of the Taoist Ancestor.

This person is none other than Zhang Lingyu, the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

The Taoist Yunlong arrived in a hurry, and before he even entered the hall, he had already disturbed the Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu.

Upon seeing the Celestial Master in the hall, Daoist Yunlong hurriedly recounted the events at Wuque City, emphasizing Lu Feng of Xuanyin Temple's fierce victory over Daoist Wang Ling of Qingquan Hall.

Upon hearing about Lu Feng's achievements, Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu raised an eyebrow, showing some interest in Lu Feng of Xuan Yin Temple.

"Interesting. It seems we made the right choice in recruiting Lu Feng from Xuan Yin Temple!"

Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu had already seen Lu Feng's name and various intelligence reports. In more than ten years, Lu Feng had gone from an unknown rogue cultivator to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and now occupied the Xuan Yin Temple, which occupied a vast territory in Hongze County. Lu Feng's experience was legendary.

When Zhang Lingyu, the Celestial Master, compared his own experience with Lu Feng's, cultivation talent seemed to be even more formidable than his own.

With the resources provided by Longhu Mountain, Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu has cultivated from an ordinary person to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in thirty years. Now, he has mastered the five supernatural powers inherited from Longhu Mountain and is about to obtain gold.

His cultivation speed is already unparalleled, but compared with Lu Feng's experience, it seems to be on par.

However, considering Lu Feng's background and cultivation conditions, Lu Feng of Xuan Yin Temple seems to have a superior talent for cultivation.

"If he were to obtain cultivation resources like mine, even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be able to stop him, and he might even have a chance to obtain gold..."

After calculating with his fingers, the Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu became even more interested in Lu Feng.

In the stillness of the moment, a thought suddenly arose in Zhang Lingyu, the Celestial Master, that he wanted to meet Lu Feng of the Xuan Yin Temple.

"I already know about this matter. You may leave now, and I will go see Lu Feng first!"

Having said that, the figure of Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu vanished like a bubble before the eyes of Daoist Yunlong in the hall.
