Chapter 1319: Bai Shuang's Difficulty

Another month passed. Lu Yang had a very peaceful time these past few days. The bodyguards no longer guarded him like a thief, likely having received orders from their superiors.

Bai Shuang still hadn't come to find Xia He, which puzzled Lu Yang. If it weren't for him, Xia He would have likely survived until now, and logically, Bai Shuang should have appeared.

Outside the villa, a young man in a Tang suit slowly approached the building. A soldier on duty stopped him: "Stop, who are you!"

Facing the armed soldiers, a hint of a smile appeared in the young man's eyes. He cupped his hands and chuckled, "Please inform Elder Xia that I wish to see her."

"Elder Xia is not someone you can just see whenever you please," the soldier on duty said, frowning as he moved to drive the young man away.

Seeing this, the young man in the Tang suit sighed to himself, "I knew it would be like this."

With that, he vanished instantly, reappearing in the courtyard the next moment. The soldier on duty quickly raised the alarm.

"Enemy attack!"

The soldiers protecting Xia He were all elites among elites. The moment he forced his way into the courtyard, several sniper rifles were aimed at him.

The squad leader stepped forward to intercept him but was knocked down by a single palm strike from the young man in the Tang suit, without even having time to react. It was worth noting that he was once the champion of a military exercise competition.

Bang—bang—bang—

Three gunshots rang out, all aimed at the young man's joints. However, despite being aware, the young man did not dodge or evade. A golden shield appeared on his body, blocking the three bullets.

"What?!" The sniper was greatly astonished. Even with professional psychological training, witnessing this scene left him momentarily stunned.

Blocking a sniper rifle, is this even a human?

Facing the soldiers' encirclement, the young man in the Tang suit moved as if strolling leisurely, knocking them down one by one. He smiled and pushed open the villa's main door, then searched the villa but could not find Xia He.

Returning to the living room, he turned around and saw Xia He, who had just returned from shopping, standing at the main entrance, along with an unfamiliar man carrying many bags.

"Who are you?" Xia He frowned. The knocked-down soldiers near the villa clearly indicated the Tang-suited man's involvement.

The accompanying personnel tried to stop Xia He, but she insisted on returning to the villa.

"My name is Li Wenjie. Greetings, Elder Xia. My master wishes to have a word with you."

"What if I don't go?"

Li Wenjie's smile remained unchanged. "You'd best go," he said, "after all, your friend Bai Shuang is in my master's hands. Of course, if you still refuse, I'll have no choice but to take you by force."

The next moment, Lu Yang appeared before Li Wenjie and grabbed him by the neck.

"What did you say!"

Li Wenjie was no longer calm. His legs flailed as he struggled desperately, but he was held as if by a giant pincer, utterly unable to break free.

Lu Yang stared intently at Li Wenjie. A Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a native of Blue Star.

Li Wenjie absolutely could not be a cultivator from the Immortal Cultivation World; there was no one there who didn't know Lu Yang.

Where did Li Wenjie's cultivation come from? If Blue Star had a legitimate cultivation method, Lu Yang would have discovered it during the zombie crisis.

"Where is your master!"

"In... in Kunlun Mountain."

"Lu Yang..." Xia He whispered, now extremely worried about Bai Shuang's safety.

"I know. We're going to Kunlun Mountain. I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on Bai Shuang!"

Lu Yang hadn't been this angry in a long time; killing intent permeated the air. No wonder he hadn't heard from Bai Shuang; it turned out she had been captured!

Lu Yang roughly threw Li Wenjie into the Qingfeng Sword's minor world, then summoned his Wupeng boat and, embracing Xia He, set off directly for Kunlun Mountain!

Deep within Kunlun Mountain, ancient runes extended from its depths, like eight dragon veins, rushing in all directions.

Where the runes extended, a burly, scar-faced monk had erected an altar. On the altar was a petite girl, without a physical body, only a soul. Below the altar were devotees kowtowing and chanting scriptures.

Some of them were wealthy merchants, some scientists, some professors. At this moment, they had abandoned their past identities, wholeheartedly believing in the scar-faced monk and sincerely chanting scriptures.

The scar-faced monk could not hide his joy. He never imagined that on such a remote planet, he would encounter an innate spirit.

If he could subdue her and make her his follower, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his divine sense and help his cultivation advance a step further!

Once his cultivation improved, he might even be able to break open the ancient seal on Kunlun Mountain in one go!

It was a pity that this innate spirit had such a strong will; even chanting scriptures could hardly weaken her resolve. Although he could slowly refine her, he now had a better method.

This innate spirit was friends with a local native. If he brought that friend before her and personally killed them, her will would surely waver. Then he could catch her off guard and subdue her into a follower!

The scar-faced monk revealed a greedy expression. This was his great fortune.

"Little spirit, haven't you been constantly talking about saving your friend? Don't worry, you'll meet her soon!"

"You dare!" Bai Shuang furiously rushed down the altar, but ancient scriptures were scattered around it, forming an invisible cage that firmly trapped her.

Bai Shuang was now filled with regret. She had fainted not long ago and had been constantly thinking about Xia He, whose lifespan was nearing its end. She never thought that what she muttered in her daze would be overheard by this old monk.

"Of course I dare." The more agitated Bai Shuang became, the more pleased the scar-faced monk was. This meant Xia He held significant importance in her heart, and if Xia He died in front of her, the effect would be even better.

Judging by the time, the excellent disciple he had sent out must have already found Xia He.

A majestic and enraged voice echoed through the Kunlun Mountains; the snow on the mountaintops avalanched, and the earth trembled.

"Oh really? I'd like to see who gave you the audacity!"

"Who's there!" The scar-faced monk spun around abruptly. The power contained within that voice made his heart tremble.

The Wupeng boat, an accelerating immortal treasure used for space travel, moved at an incredible speed. In less than a blink of an eye, it traversed half of Blue Star, flying from the villa to Kunlun Mountain.

The scar-faced monk saw the figure on the Wupeng boat clearly, and his pupils contracted sharply: "Lu... Lu Yang!"

How could Lu Yang be here!

Lu Yang also recognized the scar-faced monk as Banbu, the evil monk of the Buddhist Kingdom, in the early Tribulation Transcending stage. He was once the abbot of Sakya Temple, one of the twelve great temples of the Buddhist Kingdom, but later delved into evil ways and disappeared without a trace. His seniority was even higher than Master Mingyu's; he was a true old-timer.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, the evil monk Banbu trembled uncontrollably. Having witnessed Lu Yang's battle with Wu Yao, he fully understood the power of this rising star; no Tribulation Transcending cultivator could be his match.

He cursed his bad luck to himself. After hiding everywhere and barely escaping the pursuit of Xitian Temple, he fled to the outside world and accidentally discovered this place called Blue Star. He had thought it was a place of great fortune, so why did he run into Lu Yang of all people?

"Considering this humble monk is an elder, if you, young friend Lu Yang, are willing to spare my life," he pleaded, "this humble monk is willing to offer all his treasures..."

The devotees were dumbfounded. To them, Banbu was an omnipotent deity; when had he ever been so subservient?

Bai Shuang, greatly weakened by the altar's torment, saw Xia He on the Wupeng boat and softly called out, "Xiao He."

Lu Yang was heartbroken and flew into a rage upon witnessing this scene, immediately striking Banbu with a sword.

The brilliant sword light illuminated the entire Kunlun Mountain.

"Die, old man!"
