The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Perhaps when Han Li looks back on this in the future, he will suspect that Lu Yao has some ulterior motives towards him, but he will never have imagined that Lu Yao already knew everything about him.

Han Li had only recently learned about the effects of the Heavenly Bottle and had not yet figured out its specific usage.

What could a newbie like him, who had just entered the world of cultivation, possibly have that would be coveted by the powerful Lu Yao? It must be genuine affection.

"Jingle bell!"

Lu Yao shook the bell, and the Iron Slave instantly moved and attacked Lu Yao.

"Jingle bell!"

Lu Yao shook the bell again, and Tie Nu's figure froze and stopped.

"This puppetry technique is quite exquisite, what a pity."

Lu Yao shook his head. This puppet must have been made with the help of Yu Zitong. To be able to refine the body of a Xiantian martial artist into a master-level puppet, Mo Juren must have put in a lot of effort.

Perhaps Yu Zitong still had a backup plan inside Tie Nu's body, intending to betray Mo Juren, but unfortunately, it's no longer needed.

As Han Li approached Tie Nu, he looked at Tie Nu's figure and felt an increasing sense of familiarity.

Reaching out, Han Li removed the Iron Slave's mask, revealing a very familiar face.

"Zhang Tie!"

Han Li exclaimed in surprise, looking at Tie Nu in disbelief.

"Oh? Is this the disciple who entered Divine Hand Valley with you, Brother Han?"

Lu Yao feigned confusion and asked Han Li.

"That's right! Zhang Tie disappeared a few months ago. Old Ghost Mo said he couldn't stand the hardship of martial arts training and went back to his hometown!"

"At first I was skeptical, but now it seems I was definitely murdered by that old devil Mo!!"

Han Li's eyes were a little red as he gritted his teeth and said.

He had spent nearly two years with Zhang Tie and had already developed a deep friendship. Seeing Zhang Tie being turned into a puppet, he felt extremely distressed.

"Brother Han, rest assured, now that Mo Juren is dead, it can be considered as avenging Zhang Tie."

Lu Yao sighed softly. He couldn't keep an eye on Han Li and Zhang Tie all the time, and he felt deep sympathy for Zhang Tie's plight.

"Take it, drip the blood onto the bell, and this puppet will obey your commands."

Lu Yao had no interest in the Iron Slave. It was just a Grandmaster puppet, and it might not even be able to defeat an ordinary Grandmaster. It was useless to keep it, so he gave it to Han Li as a favor.

The debt of gratitude he owes is growing, and Han Li probably feels he can never repay it all.

"Thank you, Brother Yao."

Han Li nodded without being coy and took the bell in his hand.

Han Li then used his magic to pierce his finger, and the blood dripped onto the bell.

"Buzz!"

The bell flashed faintly and then fell silent, and Han Li established an inexplicable connection with Tie Nu.

"You've been looking for so long, can you come out now?"

After seeing that Han Li had taken control of the Iron Slave, Lu Yao spoke loudly and calmly.

In fact, when he was fighting with Mo Juren just now, Lu Yao sensed that someone was hiding not far away, but he just ignored it.

"Not coming out? Then I, Lu, will not be polite."

Seeing that the person had no intention of showing up, Lu Yao's voice turned cold.

Upon hearing that someone was lurking nearby, Han Li immediately took a step back and hid behind Tie Nu.

"Elder Lu, please hold your hand! It's me!"

Just as Lu Yao was about to make a move, a figure suddenly leaped out.

"Sect Leader Wang!"

Han Li exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newcomer.

"Does the sect leader intend to punish me for the sake of Mo Juren?"

Upon seeing Wang Juechu, Lu Yao remembered that Mo Juren had once saved Wang Juechu's life, which was why he had invited Mo Juren to the Seven Mysteries Sect.

"Hehehe, Elder Lu misunderstands. Elder Mo made the first move, and now he is no match for him and has died. How could it be Elder Lu's fault?"

Wang Juechu quickly waved his hand and sold Mo Juren without hesitation.

Who knows what he just saw: sword energy crackling with lightning, black mist wailing like ghosts, a scorching fireball, and that mirror emitting a cold light.

This undoubtedly proves that Lu Yao is no ordinary person; he might even be a legendary immortal.

"Thank you for your hospitality during this time, Sect Master. I will be leaving the Seven Mysteries Sect with Han Li soon. As long as it is within my capabilities, I can help the Seven Mysteries Sect once."

Lu Yao was very satisfied with Wang Juechu's pragmatism and also intended to settle his karmic ties with the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Upon hearing this, Wang Juechu glanced at Han Li, his expression somewhat hesitant.

"Please forgive me, Immortal Master Lu, but I have witnessed signs of immortality today and have developed a deep reverence for the Dao. May I ask if I may follow Immortal Master Lu in my cultivation?"

Wang Juechu naturally also had some desire to cultivate immortality, so he wanted to embark on the path of cultivation.

"You don't have spiritual roots, so you can't cultivate immortality."

Lu Yao shook his head and refused decisively.

It didn't actually know Wang Juechu's spiritual root aptitude, but Lu Yao wouldn't waste hundreds of world origins to investigate Wang Juechu's spiritual root.

Spiritual root talent is one in ten thousand, so it's highly likely that Wang Juechu doesn't have any spiritual root, so why not just put an end to his idea?

"Can one not cultivate immortality without spiritual roots?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Juechu looked somewhat dejected.

But as the head of a sect, he quickly regained his composure and suppressed the matter in his heart.

"Thank you for your explanation, Master Lu. Now that the Seven Mysteries Sect has lost two Grandmaster-level experts, and with Master Lu also about to leave, the Seven Mysteries Sect's strength has been greatly reduced."

"There is a gang outside Caixia Mountain called the Wild Wolf Gang, which has long been eyeing our sect. There have been constant conflicts over the years, and many of our disciples have been killed or injured. I'm afraid the Seven Mysteries Sect will be unable to cope in the future. I beg Immortal Master Lu to lend a helping hand."

Since Lu Yao was willing to help the Seven Mysteries Sect, Wang Juechu immediately thought of the Wild Wolf Gang.

"Alright, I will deal with the Wild Wolf Gang for the Seven Mysteries Sect. You may leave now."

Lu Yao nodded and agreed to Wang Juechu's request.

After Wang Juechu left, Lu Yao gave Han Li a few instructions and then left.

Lu Yao and Han Li agreed to leave the Seven Mysteries Sect three months later and head to the cultivation world. Lu Yao asked Han Li to handle the relevant matters before they left together.

Lu Yao also went to deal with the Wild Wolf Gang's affairs.

The Wild Wolf Gang was originally a powerful bandit group in Jingzhou. Later, some of them were recruited by the government, while others became neighbors of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Its strength was actually slightly weaker than the original Seven Mysteries Sect, so it never had any impact on the Seven Mysteries Sect.

The Seven Mysteries Sect originally had six Grandmasters, while the Wild Wolf Gang only had five. However, the members of the Wild Wolf Gang were all bandits, fierce and bloodthirsty, and fought extremely hard. Naturally, the disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect were a step behind.

Under these circumstances, the Seven Mysteries Sect and the Wild Wolf Gang reached a balance of power and became locked in a tug-of-war.

However, now that both Deputy Sect Leader Ma and Mo Juren are dead, the Wild Wolf Gang has lost two Grandmaster-level experts, and its strength has suddenly surpassed that of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Based on the information provided by Wang Juechu, Lu Yao spent nearly half a month arriving at the Wild Wolf Gang's base.
