Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 5 Lu Min's Fury

When Lu Rongbo and Yang Li felled the old tree on Lingyu Cliff, it was noon. Guan Minghui was in deep meditation and completely unaware of the outside world.

When he woke up, he found that the old tree had been cut in half. From the cross-section of the trunk, it was clear that it had been severed by a flying sword. He immediately felt a sense of impending danger.

He knew that there was a fairy named Hua Yaosong near Lingyu Cliff, who was entrusted by the immortal Changmei to watch over Gu Chen here.

Hua Yaosong had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage and attained the Earth Immortal rank. He was not far from ascending to immortality, and his strength should not be underestimated.

When Li Yingqiong and the other Emei disciples arrive, she will plan a backup plan, direct the operation on-site, and help kill Gu Chen.

These days, Guan Minghui used the black silk to manipulate the plants and explore the area within fifty miles of Lingyu Cliff, but he did not find anyone. He did not know whether Hua Yaosong had not arrived yet or lived far away.

If Hua Yaosong were to storm in now, Guan Minghui would be powerless to fight back and would be utterly humiliated by her!

Even the Long-Browed Immortal couldn't eliminate Gu Chen, so Hua Yaosong certainly can't either; she probably won't come in easily.

Guan Minghui calmly analyzed: The other party only cut down one old tree and left, without cutting down all forty-nine trees. It should not be Hua Yaosong, but most likely someone passing by, who certainly does not know the truth of the matter.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should continue absorbing the moon's essence through the old tree and hunting wild beasts.

Plants and trees refined by the Profound Yin Great Law are noticeably different from those elsewhere, even to ordinary people. Immortals, even from hundreds of miles away, can recognize them at a glance, and those who know the inside story can connect it to themselves.

However, without absorbing the essence of the moon, he could only cultivate until Li Yingqiong arrived, just like in the original story, and become a broken and mangled demon corpse with less than a third of his strength recovered. In the end, he was ganged up on and killed, dying once again.

As for hunting wild beasts, it was for refining the Profound Yin Beast Gathering Banner, which was his greatest hope for turning his life around!
We must keep collecting moonlight, and we must keep hunting wild beasts!

No matter who you are, if you come, let's fight it out. Anyway, this life is a free gift!

That night, he released more black silk threads and manipulated more old trees to collect moonlight.

Now that we've been exposed, we should make ourselves as strong as possible before the enemy arrives.

Several days passed, and he thought that Hua Yaosong would be the first to come knocking, but to his surprise, it was Yang Li.

Fearing he might miss the chance to slay the demon, Yang Li sped back to Rabbit Cliff from the South China Sea on his sword.

But as soon as they reached the cliff, Lu Min surrounded them with her sword light.

Lu Min frowned and glared, wishing she could devour Yang Li alive: "You little beast, you dare to come here again!"

Yang Li was both frightened and shocked. He hurriedly bowed and asked his senior uncle why he was treating him this way.

"You dare pretend you don't know about the good deed you've done? You have the nerve to do it, but I'm too embarrassed to even mention it!"

Lu Min didn't explain why, which only confused Yang Li more. He simply knelt down in the sword circle and said with utmost sincerity, "This nephew came here as a guest with his master. I am deeply grateful for the warm hospitality of my senior brothers and sisters..."

Lu Min looked at his innocent face and carefully examined his expression. He was clearly still a virile man and had never been intimate with a woman. She couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that her daughter hadn't been violated by him?
Ever since Yang Li left, Lu Rongbo has been feeling listless and dispirited. She herself was unaware of it, but Lu Min noticed that her daughter was pregnant, which made her furious.

He was certain it was Yang Li and wanted to go to the South China Sea to kill the little beast. However, he remembered that his master, the Blissful Immortal, had said that he and his daughter would face a calamity this year and that it was better to remain still than to act rashly.

He forced himself to endure it, but seeing his daughter pretending to be nonchalant while practicing her cultivation every day made him feel disgusted!
What a misfortune for our family! Our daughter has been having an affair!
He was already a cultivator, and his master was the Blissful Immortal Li Jingxu. He was of high seniority and respected among sword immortals, and was known as the "Golden Immortal on Earth".

It is utterly shameful that my daughter has done such a disgraceful thing!

The fire was brewing and surging in his heart, and it was about to explode. Yang Li suddenly came to his door, and he had a good chance to vent his anger. He almost tore Yang Li into three pieces with one move.

He was still speculating: Was Master Yang Li skilled in the art of sexual intercourse, stealing his daughter's essence and using it to replenish his yang? Even though she had lost her virginity, she still looked like she had never been with anyone, so he couldn't tell at all.

He looked again and again, but Yang Li's virginity was still intact. Yang Li knelt in the sword circle and kowtowed to him: "This nephew really doesn't know what he did to anger his master."

But my master is an elder, and his Taoist cultivation and magical power are far superior to my nephew's, so I dare not and cannot escape.

I only beg my master to kill my nephew and vent his anger, and then allow my soul to depart so that I may be reincarnated.

If my master truly forbids it, please at least tell my master the reason, lest my master not know how I died…”

As he spoke, his eyes reddened and his voice choked with emotion.

After all, he was just a sixteen-year-old boy who had always respected Lu Min immensely. Now, however, she wanted to kill him without even knowing the facts. He felt extremely wronged and forced himself to hold back his tears.

Lu Min frowned and stared intently at him, but she couldn't see the slightest flaw. She began to wonder: Could there be something fishy about Rongbo's pregnancy?
Having cultivated himself for over sixty years, killing such a child would be as easy as turning his hand, but he could not simply kill an innocent person.

Master Jile Zhenren said that Rongbo would have a love tribulation this year. At first, he thought it would happen to this boy, and that he himself would also suffer a fatal calamity. As the saying goes, those involved are often confused. This matter needs to be considered carefully.

He sheathed his flying sword and said sternly, "You little beast, get out of here! If I see you again, I will take your head with this flying sword!" With that, he flicked his sleeve and went into the cave.

Yang Li knelt there, stunned for a moment before standing up. He couldn't understand why his Uncle-Master Lu, who was originally highly skilled in Taoism and had a kind and benevolent nature, would treat him this way.

He thought it over and over and realized that he had not done anything wrong, not even something as impolite as addressing someone.

He had only mentioned Senior Sister Lu once, and he reacted like a firecracker that had been set on fire.

Did he think that he was after Senior Sister Lu's beauty and wanted to cultivate with her together?
That must be it, even making oneself seem even more despicable... otherwise, the eyes wouldn't have held such disgust and contempt!

He was intelligent and quickly figured out the truth of the matter, which made him feel bitter and resentful.

I only respect and admire Senior Sister Lu; I have never had any improper thoughts about her.

He was strong-willed and wanted to explain the misunderstanding, but he felt that Lu Min wouldn't give him a chance to clarify things. Lu Min considered herself a member of the orthodox Xuanmen sect and looked down on them, the overseas rogue cultivators.

Since orthodox Xuanmen (Taoist sects) emphasizes attaining enlightenment through celibacy, while unorthodox immortals do not prohibit marriage, it is normal for Lu Min to have such thoughts.

As a dignified man, I should not get too close to female cultivators, lest I damage their reputation.

Standing on Rabbit Cliff, looking around at the surrounding mountains, a new sense of awe arose in his heart: there were demons lurking on that hillside, cultivating with the blood, flesh, and spirit of wild beasts; it seemed to be nothing more than the lowest of the lowest, most trivial techniques.

Although he has only been a disciple for three years, his swordsmanship has surpassed that of many of his fellow disciples and even his senior brother. Not long ago, he also obtained this flying sword left behind by a senior immortal at the bottom of the sea. Dealing with a heretical demon should not be a problem.

Let's kill the demons there first, and then return to the South China Sea. That way, this trip won't have been in vain.

He was a fearless young man who wanted to kill the demon himself, while the Lu family father and daughter had been cultivating here for two decades, sitting idly by and ignoring the demon. They would have something to say when they met again in the future.

He flew down from Rabbit Cliff, his sword light soaring straight to Spirit Jade Cliff.

After landing in the forest and inspecting the area, they found that there were more animal bones than when they had come a few days earlier.

The sorcerer is still practicing evil magic!

Fortunately, I arrived; otherwise, once he had mastered the evil technique, countless innocent lives would have been lost.

Yang Li flew around Lingyu Cliff four times on his sword, but found no one. He flew back and released his sword, cutting all the large trees piled with animal bones in front of him in half.

With a crash, towering trees fell one after another, startling rabbits and foxes into fleeing, and eagles and snakes into scattering.
