Daoist Competition

On a steep cliff within the Star Stone, Lu Muqiu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, using his Divine Power to silently observe all the movements within the surrounding area. Suddenly, his eyebrow twitched, and he opened his eyes, speaking in a deep voice, "Three people from the Mingcang Sect have entered here."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several Demon Sect disciples sitting around him turned solemn.

Lu Muqiu continued, "Huo Xuan goes alone on one path, while Zhong Muqing and Luo Qingyu take another."

Lady Xu straightened her delicate body, looked around seriously, and said, "Though Zhong and Mu’s cultivation is not as good as Huo Xuan’s, they are not far off. Fellow Daoists, when I confront Huo Xuan, please ensure no mishaps occur."

Lu Muqiu glanced aside at a handsome-looking cultivator in a scarlet robe, asking, "Brother Yan, how are the preparations?"

Yan Huixin smiled back and replied, "I have ordered the spiritual weapons to place prohibition banners on the surrounding Twelve Peaks. In a short while, we’ll send someone out to lure the two here. I think it will block them for an hour, but if they ignore it and leave, there’s nothing I can do."

Lu Muqiu, having made his plans, took out an item, placed it on a stone, pointed at it with a smile, and said, "With this item here, I think the stakes are enough, right?"

Yan Huixin’s eyes lit up as he clapped and laughed, "Brilliant, brilliant. I wondered what Brother Feng had planned, and it turns out to be this. With this item, Zhong and Luo won’t dare not to come."

Lady Xu frowned and asked, "Only an hour?"

Though she had trained her sect’s Divine Skills to an extremely profound level and believed she could hold Huo Xuan at bay for a long time, during a fight, no outside interference could be tolerated, or they would lose everything.

Lu Muqiu thought for a moment, silently observed for a while, and slowly said, "In another hour, Brother Feng should also be deciding the outcome over there."

Through the "Heart Shadow Same Light" technique, if Lady Xu focused, she could also see Feng Haiyang’s current fighting scene. She intended to explore, but suddenly shocked, she exclaimed, "Why does the one from the Taihao Sect, surnamed Tong, have three ’Jade Purple Sun Seeds’ in his possession?"

She had previously fought against Tong Yingyuan in the gorge and knew the power of the "Jade Purple Sun Seed" well. In a detailed discussion, there were few Mystical Artifacts in the world that could directly withstand this treasure, let alone that this person had three!

If she went up now, and the three seeds were launched together, she feared she would be killed in an instant.

But Lu Muqiu appeared very relaxed, smiling as he said, "Lady Xu, rest assured. Brother Feng has been in the Nascent Soul Realm for nearly three hundred years. The Divine Passage Skills he has practiced are beyond our understanding. I believe he will have a way to handle it, so there’s no need to worry about him."

Lady Xu thought carefully, lightly nodding her head.

For thousands of years, the Six Sects of the Demon Sect lacked abundant Spiritual Energy within the Demon Caves, resulting in a scarcity of Devils. Being cautious of the Xuanmen, they dared not recklessly slaughter living beings. Many secret Divine Power Techniques were known, but they couldn’t be cultivated to profound levels. However, in the past century or two, as the Demon Tribulation gradually rose, many sect talents, under the arrangement of their mentors, have managed to spy the entryways and thus cultivated extremely advanced Divine Skills, Feng Haiyang being one of them.

Lu Muqiu said, "Huo Xuan is only six hundred miles away from us. There’s no time to lose, so I will now perform the ceremony to send you to him, Lady Xu."

After speaking, he pointed a finger, and a high banner immediately rose from the ground in a puff of smoke.

Lady Xu stood up immediately, gave everyone a respectful farewell, then walked into the banner. With a shake of the flag, it uprooted itself and flew up into the clouds with a swoosh.

As for Yan Huixin’s demon spirit, it was of course tasked with bringing Luo and Zhong to this place, so he had no need for a moving technique; with a thought, it was sent out.

After sending off Lady Xu, Lu Muqiu took out an Elixir Pill from his sleeve, swallowed it, and sat in meditation, slowly refining it.

After a moment, Yan Huixin stood up, his sleeves fluttering as he laughed coldly, "Yuxiao Zhou Huang has also arrived, and quite quickly. Let me go meet him."

Lu Muqiu activated his Divine Power to observe and, with a change in expression, reminded him, "Xie Ke Ming and Zhou Huang are traveling together. Though this person is not famous, anyone who comes to swordfight is clearly no mediocre talent. How do you intend to deal with them, Brother?"

Yan Huixin laughed heartily, "I’m not going there to fight to the death, just to delay and obstruct. Do you think I can’t manage that? Junior Lu, just stay here and watch my methods."

Lu Muqiu nodded, feeling at ease.

He knew that during the swordfight in the gorge, Yan Huixin hadn’t even displayed his true skills.

Disciples of the Jiuling Sect could attach their Divine Souls to a demon spirit in combat. Even if the shell was destroyed, as long as the Divine Soul escaped in time, they would only lose a spiritual weapon Dharma Body. It might be difficult to defeat Zhou Huang, but sparring with him for a while wouldn’t be hard.
