Lu Yun ignored Li Jue's sigh, and his vigilance remained undiminished.

He had been plotted against by Daoist Blood Lotus and Yin Da before, and he almost died. Now, he would never make the same mistake again.

"Do you think I'll let you go if you say that?"

Lu Yun sneered, "I don't believe you don't have a backup plan."

Li Jue was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly: "I am just a killer who is lingering on. How can I have any backup plan? If you want to kill me, just do it."

"Really?" Lu Yun's eyes were cold. "I'll give you two choices. One, surrender to me and become my servant. Two, refuse to surrender, and I will investigate everything about you, including your Dao body and your clansmen, and leave no one alive!"

Li Jue's face changed and a trace of humiliation flashed in his eyes.

For him, a Taoist master, to submit to a Taoist god is simply a great shame and humiliation!

"You're dreaming!"

Li Jue roared, "I would rather die than..."

"Really?"

Lu Yun interrupted him, his tone amusing, "Are you sure? It seems that there are also Taoist servants under Taoist Master Qianliu, right? It's not uncommon for Taoist masters to be servants."

Li Jue was speechless. Lu Yun's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in his mind.

He recalled some rumors that some powerful Dao Masters would indeed subdue some weaker Dao Masters as their servants.

He began to weigh the pros and cons. The strength Lu Yun showed was enough to rival some powerful Dao Lords.

Moreover, he was so young, and his future achievements were limitless. If I surrendered to him, I might be able to gain even greater benefits.

On the contrary, if he refused, Lu Yun would really hunt him down at all costs, and by then, he would probably not be able to escape death.

Thinking of this, the last bit of resistance in Li Jue's heart disappeared.

He took a deep breath, knelt down slowly, and whispered: "Your subordinate Li Jue greets the master!"

Li Jue knelt on the ground and blurted out his life oath. Every word was like thunder, echoing in the void. The oath not only included loyalty to Lu Yun, but also covered cruel curses such as not betraying Lu Yun. If he violated the oath, his life would be destroyed.

Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand to support him: "Get up, it's important to recover your body first."

Yu Yini was stunned watching from the side. After Li Jue stood up, she moved closer to Lu Yun and asked in a low voice, "Lu Yun, do you really want to bring such a burden with you? Although Li Feiyu is annoying, he is also a Taoist master after all. He is much stronger than Li Jue, right? Why don't you subdue him?"

Lu Yun glanced at her and said calmly, "That fellow Li Feiyu has a grudge against me for killing my daughter. Even if I subdue him, do you think he will sincerely work for me? Besides, for a Taoist master's servants, quality is more important than quantity. One Li Jue is enough."

"How do you plan to use him?" Yu Yini asked curiously.

Lu Yun raised a meaningful smile, "The Sea of ​​Despair is extremely dangerous, it would be great to have a Taoist master as a helper. Besides, Li Jue's sword skills are pretty good, I can give him some pointers."

"You? Instructing the Taoist master?" Yu Yini looked incredulous. "You are only at the Dao God level, yet you are so arrogant."

Lu Yun chuckled: "I think I have some experience in the Dao of Dao master level. The test of Lingxiao Ancient Painting is not given in vain."

Li Jue, who was standing by, heard this and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He still couldn't understand how Lu Yun had predicted the assassination he had carefully planned.

He couldn't help but ask, "Master, there is something I don't understand. Please enlighten me."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Lu Yun looked at him with interest.

Li Jue hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in his mind: "My assassination skills are unmatched, so why was it predicted by the master in advance? Could it be that the master is also proficient in assassination?"

Lu Yun laughed: "I don't know the art of assassination. However, the black-clad assassin in the second Lingxiao ancient painting did teach me a set of exquisite swordsmanship, which can just restrain your attack. Besides, it's easy for me to recover after losing a Taoist body, what about you?"

When Li Jue heard this, he suddenly understood.

He recalled the strange body movements and swordsmanship that Lu Yun displayed in the battle, which were indeed different from any opponent he had ever encountered.

He couldn't help but admire Lu Yun even more.

Lu Yun took Li Jue into the chaotic world to restore his body, and asked Liu Xuanji to activate the flying boat magic weapon to continue their journey.

In the flying boat, Lu Yun was chatting and laughing with the two women, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

After Li Jue recovered his physical body, Lu Yun couldn't wait to pull him into the chaotic world to compete with him.

In the chaotic world, the two men fought with swordsmanship as black-clad killers. Lu Yun's swordsmanship was elegant and agile, yet contained infinite murderous intent, completely suppressing Li Jue's attack.

After dozens of rounds, Li Jue was sweating profusely and was shocked.

Only then did he realize that Lu Yun was not just talking casually, his attainments in swordsmanship were indeed far beyond his own.

Li Jue benefited a lot from this competition and became more determined to follow Lu Yun.

As for the treasure obtained from killing Li Feiyu, Lu Yun was too lazy to check it and directly gave it to Liu Xuanji and Yu Yini to deal with.

The two women gladly accepted it. After all, such "fat sheep" are not often available.

With Li Jue as a powerful fighter, the journey through the Sea of ​​Despair became much easier.

The strongest of the strange beasts in the Sea of ​​Despair is only at the level of a one-star Taoist master, which is not a big threat to the Taoist master. With powerful magic weapons and secret techniques, the Taoist master can easily crush these strange beasts that only know how to fight by instinct.

What's more, there is a strange beast called the Mad Owl in the Sea of ​​Despair, which contains a special energy in its body, which is of great benefit to the Taoist master's cultivation.

A Mad Owl at the Dao Lord level is even more priceless, therefore, the probability of a high-level Mad Owl appearing in the Sea of ​​Despair is extremely low and is almost impossible to come by.

Lu Yun originally thought that he would meet Sibo Daoshen's group, but decades later, he still hadn't seen any trace of them.

I think the routes of both parties are different. The Sea of ​​Despair is vast and chaotic. Even if the routes are slightly different, the final destinations will be very different.

Lu Yun didn't care about this. The purpose of his trip was not to compete with those guys.

From Li Jue, Lu Yun learned that the reason why so many Taoist gods gathered in the Sea of ​​Despair was to go to the Silence Realm at the other end of the sea.

There is a five-star Taoist master there, named Taoist Master Ping Fang.

It is said that this Taoist master Ping Fang encountered an accident when he was trying to achieve the Dao, which led to his failure and now his life is coming to an end.

Before his death, Taoist Master Ping Fang planned to accept a disciple and pass on his life's learning.

As soon as this news came out, countless Dao Gods flocked to it. If one could get guidance from a top Dao Lord, his future achievements would be limitless.
