Chapter 304: Yun Tianzun and Dou Tianzun

At that moment, Dai Bufan wished he could imitate the abbot of the Hanging Temple, subduing Lu Yang the scoundrel just as he had subdued the Silent Daoist.

So you went to the Immortal Cult not as an undercover agent, but for further training?!

"Wait, wait, wait, things aren't what you think, Senior Brother Dai!" Seeing Dai Bufan about to lose his temper, Lu Yang quickly shouted that there was a misunderstanding.

This was a Senior Brother at the Integration Stage; the Invincible Pill even advised Lu Yang to commit suicide to maintain his winning streak.

Lu Yang automatically ignored the Invincible Pill's suggestion.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Dai Bufan asked the three of them to explain honestly.

"Well, it's like this: we met three female ghosts in Ancient Locust Town. These female ghosts were actually under a soul restriction imposed by the Nine Nether Cult. To gain the Nine Nether Cult's trust, we claimed to be ancient geniuses from the Heavenly Court Sect, and even said we found Qin Haoran's reincarnation..."

Dai Bufan: "..."

You two are quite the storytellers.

If he didn't know Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's character, he would have believed that a Heavenly Court existed in ancient times and that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were ancient geniuses who had revived to rebuild it.

He instinctively ruled out Li Haoran, who, based on his understanding, would merely be an actor in this play.

If even he was convinced, the Nine Nether Cult would surely believe it too.

Although Qin Yanyan being mistaken for Qin Haoran's reincarnation by the Nine Nether Cult was unexpected, it didn't affect the overall situation.

"So, what do you need me to do?"

"It's like this: our Heavenly Court Sect currently has very few members, only four people. We're lacking someone who can truly intimidate the Nine Nether Cult. I'd like to ask Senior Brother Dai for a favor, to help us find another member for the Heavenly Court Sect."

"Hey, Lu Yang, as the Supreme Grand Heavenly Venerable, can I not intimidate a mere Nine Nether Cult?" In the spiritual space, the Immortal Fairy looked very proud.

When Lu Yang was fabricating the Heavenly Court Sect, he had consulted the Immortal Fairy multiple times. The Immortal Fairy not only offered many constructive suggestions, helping Lu Yang refine the Heavenly Court Sect's history and doctrine, but also specifically advised Lu Yang to place himself at the highest position.

So Lu Yang changed the original Cloud Heavenly Venerable to Bean Heavenly Venerable.

He hoped Senior Sister would have no objections to this.

Lu Yang, facing the Immortal Fairy, said earnestly: "Fairy, as the Supreme Grand Heavenly Venerable, how can you easily take action? It would diminish your dignity."

The Immortal Fairy thought this made sense and stopped making a fuss.

Dai Bufan pondered. Lu Yang's nominal master was still in prison and couldn't get away.

He dared not command Lu Yang's actual master.

Meng Jingzhou's master, the Third Elder, had sufficient cultivation but lacked the necessary wits, making it inconvenient for him to be involved.

"You can have the Fifth Elder help you."

The Fifth Elder was steady in character, had sufficient cultivation, and was also Li Haoran's master, making him the most suitable for this task.

After the three left, Dai Bufan called over the Senior Brother on duty at the front desk.

"The three female ghosts mentioned in Lu Yang's mission," he instructed, "if there are no issues after investigation, bring all three of them directly to the Dao Seeking Sect."

Dai Bufan was worried that members of the Nine Nether Cult would secretly monitor the three female ghosts. If they sent people to test the ghosts and it was exposed that the three female ghosts were registered with the Dao Seeking Sect, it would be disastrous.

Bringing the three female ghosts to the Dao Seeking Sect was the safest method.

"Lu Yang and the others are still so young."

"What? You're Senior Brother Li's former daughter?" Hearing Qin Yanyan explain her identity, Tao Yaoye and Man Gu were greatly astonished.

Putting aside the fact that Senior Brother Li was the former leader of the Nine Nether Cult for a moment, Senior Brother Li was so young, yet he already had a daughter older than himself?

Even in the Dao Seeking Sect, this matter was outrageous enough.

"Quick, tell us," Tao Yaoye said, her face full of gossip and eager to know the full story, "how do you address Senior Brother Li? And after you left Senior Brother Li's hometown, how did you come to the Dao Seeking Sect?"

Qin Yanyan was a little overwhelmed by Tao Yaoye's enthusiastic questions, but fortunately, Lu Yang's voice interrupted Tao Yaoye's interrogation.

"Junior Sister Tao, Junior Brother Man, have you two formed your Golden Cores?" Lu Yang was a little surprised to see Tao Yaoye and Man Gu; their Golden Core formation speed wasn't slow.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou instinctively glanced at Li Haoran, leaving him as the only one who hadn't formed a Golden Core.

"Go on, go on," Li Haoran replied with a dark expression, "this is called accumulating strength for a grand burst!"

Tao Yaoye revealed a cunning smile: "Thanks to Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Meng, having your Golden Core formation experience before us, it gave Junior Brother Man and me inspiration."

"What kind of Golden Cores did you form?"

Man Gu was about to answer when Tao Yaoye stopped him with a hand: "Senior Brother Lu, it's been a long time since we've sparred. Instead of directly asking us what kind of Golden Cores we formed, why don't we find out on the arena? See if you can guess?"

"Alright," Lu Yang smiled. He hadn't taken action since forming his Golden Core.

"Then I'll fight you, Junior Brother Man will fight Senior Brother Meng, and Junior Brother Li will observe." Tao Yaoye had already decided who would fight whom.

Meng Jingzhou was a little excited; having fought beyond his cultivation level every day, it was time to fight a genius of the same level. "So, to the arena?"

"To the arena!"

They formed two pairs and each jumped onto a separate arena.

This action piqued the interest of many disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect, especially those in the same cohort as Lu Yang, as the four people on the arena were their idols.

"Who do you think will win?" Qin Yanyan was very curious and asked her 'former father'.

Li Haoran rolled his eyes: "Who knows? Anyway, I'm not qualified to participate."

Li Haoran felt this shouldn't be the case; as a reincarnation of a mighty figure, he should have been the top talent among the younger generation.

Upon closer thought, that scoundrel Qin Haoran had left him nothing but a pair of unrelated mother and daughter and unbearable past life memories.

Qin Haoran, were your memories all about how to resolve the Nine Nether Cult's deficit crisis, and none about opportunities?!

"Instead of asking who will win, why not see for yourself?" A faint voice came from behind Qin Yanyan.

Qin Yanyan turned her head curiously and found a woman as cold as ice standing behind her. The woman was aloof and arrogant, with a face of breathtaking beauty, unapproachable like a cold snowy mountain. Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall to her waist, and she wore simple, elegant cloud garments. Her demeanor was ethereal as she moved, like a celestial fairy.

Qin Yanyan had thought her mother was already the most beautiful in the world, but she hadn't expected there to be a woman even more beautiful than her mother.

"Sister, who are you?"

Hearing Senior Sister's voice, Li Haoran instinctively broke into a cold sweat. He quickly turned his head and saw that perpetually expressionless face.

Although he hadn't done anything guilty, facing Senior Sister, Li Haoran always felt an involuntary trepidation: "Se-Senior Sister, you're back."

"Mm, finished with business, just got back," Senior Sister replied, leaving Li Haoran at a loss for how to continue the conversation.

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. Let's watch the fight, Li Haoran thought silently.

Yun Zhi had brought back the Immortal Fairy's kitchen and was about to go look for the Immortal Fairy when she heard that Lu Yang and the other three were sparring in the arena.

It wouldn't hurt to watch.
