The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

With the end of Wang Chan's blood sacrifice, Yan Family Fort completely sided with the Ghost Spirit Sect.

The Yan family abandoned the vast majority of mortals and used a large spirit boat to take all the Yan family cultivators and some close mortals towards the Ghost Spirit Gate.

At the same time, the Ghost Spirit Sect also dispatched Ghost Spirit Guards and an elder at the late Core Formation stage to protect the Yan family, demonstrating their high regard for the Yan family.

Because of Lu Yao's warning, Han Li and the other cultivators from the Hidden Moon Sect realized that things were not going well and immediately fled.

He wanted to report back to the sect with news of the Yan family's rebellion.

Unfortunately, they were unaware that the Six Demonic Sects had already reached the border of Yue Kingdom and were engaged in a major battle at Jingu Plain.

Therefore, Han Li and his group encountered the recruited cultivators from the seven major sects and were directly taken to Jin Gu Yuan.

As soon as the six sects of the demonic path approached the Yue Kingdom, they were discovered by the seven major sects, who quickly determined a resistance plan through their communication channels.

The seven major sects dispatched a large number of their disciples to support Jingu Plain. At the same time, they sent out disciples with conscription orders authorized by the leaders of the seven major sects to notify the cultivators of the seven major sects who were outside to go to Jingu Plain.

Because of his superior concealment technique, Lu Yao was not encountered by cultivators from various sects.

Meanwhile, because the six demonic sects arrived suddenly, the seven major sects had no time to seal off the various exits and key passages of Yue Kingdom, and directly fled Yue Kingdom.

Because Yuanwu Kingdom was established after Yue Kingdom, the atmosphere within the country was not as tense as in Yue Kingdom.

When Lu Yao arrived at Tianxing Sect Market, it was no different from what it had been six months ago.

After paying the entrance fee to the market, Lu Yao headed straight for Ruyin Pavilion.

When Lu Yao arrived at Ruyin Pavilion, he found that the entrance was surrounded by several people.

"You silly girl, why don't you call your young lady out? Young Master Huang has taken a liking to your young lady, that's a great blessing."

A burly man laughed loudly, blocking the entrance to Ruyin Pavilion with his body, and said with a smirk.

"You bunch of wicked people! My young lady already has a Daoist partner and doesn't want to see that Young Master Huang. Get out of here!"

Xiao Mei looked quite annoyed and tried to shove the burly man out.

However, Xiaomei was only a minor cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining, and she couldn't move the burly man who was already in the late stage of Qi Refining at all.

"Hmph! My young master is now a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect. How dare you not give him face?"

With a gentle twist, the burly man knocked the petite Xiaomei to the ground.

"Hahaha, you say your young lady has a cultivation partner? Where is he? Tell him to come out."

"Exactly, don't use such a lame excuse."

……

The burly man's accomplices behind him laughed loudly, looking arrogant.

"A disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect? Are they very powerful?"

A cold voice rang out behind the burly men.

Immediately, a terrifying pressure enveloped the group, and the burly man and the others immediately showed expressions of fear.

"Senior, spare your life!"

The burly man immediately realized he had encountered a high-level cultivator. The one more powerful than him must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he didn't even dare to dream of a Core Formation cultivator.

Xiaomei was slightly taken aback when she heard the sudden voice, but then her face lit up with surprise.

"Son!"

Xiao Mei rushed out and immediately pounced on Lu Yao as soon as she saw him.

"Stop! Tell me what happened first?"

Seeing that Xiaomei was about to pounce on him, Lu Yao quickly pressed her head down and said helplessly.

Xiao Mei was Xin Ruyin's maid. Now that Xin Ruyin is Lu Yao's Daoist partner, Xiao Mei has become a concubine, so she is very close to Lu Yao.

"Young Master, these people are all that scoundrel Huang Liang's men. They were quiet after you left, but somehow Huang Liang became an outer disciple of the Tianxing Sect. Plus, Steward Li was transferred, so they've set their sights on Miss again."

Xiao Mei pouted and said angrily with her hands on her hips.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao frowned. He hadn't expected such a change to occur in just half a year.

"S-Senior, my master is now a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect. We were unaware that Master Xin had any past relationship with you. Please spare our lives, we'll leave right away..."

The burly man was sweating profusely; he still dared not be arrogant in front of a high-level cultivator.

"Ahhh!"

Several icy swords flashed past, and the arms of the stubble-bearded man and the men behind him were instantly severed, eliciting painful howls.

"You dare to make a move in the market?! You're finished! You're dead!"

The burly man with stubble clutched his severed arm, staring at Lu Yao in disbelief. He hadn't expected Lu Yao to actually dare to make a move.

I should have known that the Tianxing Sect's market has rules; daring to make a move would be an offense against the Tianxing Sect's authority.

"Dry tongue! If you don't get out of here, you might as well die here."

Lu Yao glanced coldly at the burly man, his expression calm.

The burly man felt a chill run down his spine. For some reason, he felt that if he didn't leave soon, he might really die here.

"go!"

The burly man gave a soft shout, picked up his severed arm, and led the others away in a disheveled state.

"Young master, this... could something bad happen?"

Xiao Mei was also startled by Lu Yao's decisiveness. When she thought of the regulations of the market, she couldn't help but show a worried expression.

Cultivators are prohibited from fighting in the market. This rule is the foundation of the market's stability, and the people of the Heavenly Star Sect attach great importance to it. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators dare not violate it.

"It's alright, Xiaomei, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lu Yao smiled, patted Xiao Mei's head, and indicated that she didn't need to worry.

"I'll take you to find the young lady right away!"

Seeing Lu Yao say this, Xiao Mei stopped thinking about it and pulled Lu Yao towards Ruyin Pavilion.

……

As soon as Lu Yao entered the bamboo grove courtyard, Xin Ruyin sensed his presence.

The array formations in the bamboo grove courtyard were all personally arranged by Xin Ruyin, so her control over them was naturally extremely strong.

Lu Yao looked up into the courtyard and smelled a fragrant breeze.

And in his arms, there was now a warm and gentle person.

"My husband is back."

Xin Ruyin leaned against Lu Yao's chest and said softly.

"Um……"

Lu Yao put his arm around Xin Ruyin's slender waist and responded gently.

……

After spending a brief moment with Xin Ruyin, Lu Yao inquired about what had just happened.

"Alas, Huang Liang was quite well-behaved for two months after her husband left, but later she was actually noticed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Tianxing Sect and joined the sect. This caused trouble, and Huang Liang came to harass her many times, which annoyed me greatly."

Xin Ruyin looked helpless, placed her delicate white fingers on her temples, and gently massaged them.

"Oh? Ruyin, don't worry about it for now, leave it to me."

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"My husband, you..."

Xin Ruyin was about to say something when her expression suddenly changed slightly.

Lu Yao also stood up; he had already sensed the situation outside the bamboo grove courtyard.

"Don't worry, Ruyin, leave these small matters to me."

Lu Yao chuckled softly, signaling Xin Ruyin to relax.
