Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 664 - 288: Pinching Out of Instinct_2

Zhiyu's expression froze, as if she was racking her brains. After a few seconds, she raised her right hand, and then...

"Ah-woo~"

Slap!

Lu Jin'an swiftly slapped away her right hand: "What a silly one."

Saying this, Lu Jin'an took out the eggshell fragment and handed it to Zhiyu: "Eat it."

Zhiyu leaned in to sniff the eggshell fragment, her heterochromatic eyes showing a bit of curiosity, but she didn't seem inclined to eat it.

Lu Jin'an couldn't help but ask: "Not eating it?"

"Can't eat it!"

"Hmm?"

Zhiyu pushed his hand away, looked up at Lu Jin'an: "Cake!"

Lu Jin'an glanced towards his Master, as Pei Wanyu took the eggshell fragment for examination, Zheng Dongliu glanced at Lu Jin'an: "Come with me to light an incense stick."

Lu Jin'an coaxed Zhiyu to his Master's side and followed Zheng Dongliu into Heroic Spirit Valley.

After a brief silence, he asked: "Is Master the second strongest in Wandao Sect?"

Lu Jin'an thought for sure his Master was formidable, that killing an Early Stage Divine Concealment wasn't an issue, battling evenly with Mid Divine Concealment wasn't too difficult either, but the chance of defeating a Late Stage Divine Concealment seemed slim...

"She was originally the Phoenix Saint." Zheng Dongliu walked with hands behind, "You can ask her for specifics."

Listening to the sect master's voice, a thought involuntarily surfaced in Lu Jin'an's mind.

Did Master lower her realm to "eat" him sooner?

Definitely not.

Lowering one's realm is troublesome, easy for missteps to happen; Master wouldn't lower her realm for something like that.

Just as Lu Jin'an was thinking this, he heard Zheng Dongliu suddenly say: "As one ages, one softens easily."

"Leave it to the disciple to handle." Lu Jin'an knew the sect master referred to the Wu Family Ancestor matter, so he softly said: "Disciple has no ties with them."

Zheng Dongliu nodded gently: "Handle it within three days."

"Disciple will comply."

South of the Cangxuan Domain, the Wuji Demon Sect's sect master, Taishi Chong, drenched in blood but looking slightly better, slowly stood up, gazing at several black-robed figures in the distance.

"Many thanks to the Upper Envoy for saving me."

Taishi Chong bowed deeply, keenly aware of what the patterns on these people's clothes signified.

Upper Realm Upper Envoy!

Only an Upper Realm Upper Envoy could wield such a formidable Immortal Artifact that could directly force back two Late Stage Divine Concealment masters of Wandao Sect and save him.

He hadn't anticipated the Upper Realm's control over the Lower Realm had come to this stage; at this rate, it was only a matter of time before he revived the Wuji Demon Sect's former glory.

"Will the Upper Envoy's actions be exposed?" Taishi Chong asked the most pressing question.

"No worries." The leading black-robed woman walked over to Taishi Chong: "Recovered well."

"All thanks to the spiritual... bestowed by the Upper Envoy..."

Before finishing, the woman lifted her right hand and struck Taishi Chong's chest, the scorching spiritual power forming a profound array, shattering Taishi Chong's Mid Divine Concealment realm.

With a scream, Taishi Chong's eyes widened, wanting to speak, but the pain of forced demotion rendered him speechless.

Before long, Taishi Chong fell to the ground like a heap of mud, inhaling deeply while roaring out a question: "What does the Upper Envoy mean by this?!"

Do you understand how difficult it is to cultivate to the Divine Concealing Realm?

Do you know how severe the side effects are after forced demotion?

Feeling the chaotic spiritual power in his body, Taishi Chong's eyes filled with blood; he could no longer return to the Divine Concealing Realm.

The woman calmly withdrew her right hand: "Though Divine Concealment is beyond the Five Elements, it is easier to find if one desires it. Go achieve your mission in the Southern Realm, and there will be a way to restore you."

As she spoke, she handed over a Jade Scroll: "Of course, you can choose to escape, but think carefully if you have that capability."

"Southern Realm?" Taishi Chong's face was unsightly: "I'm gravely injured, barely able to exert any Divine Presence ability, yet you want me to go to such a dangerous place?!

If I get assimilated at such a place..."

"He says he doesn't want to go." The black-robed woman chuckled while looking at the others around, indicating with meaning, "Looks like we must throw..."

Before finishing, Taishi Chong immediately changed his tune: "I'll go, I'll go!"

"Good boy."

The woman patted Taishi Chong's face: "Those from the Wuji Demon Sect who haven't been captured will be sent to assist you; don't disappoint them."

Listening to those words, Taishi Chong felt a relief in his heart; with support, it's not impossible.

He reached for the Jade Scroll in the woman's hand: "I will complete the task on it."

"Then set off." The woman grabbed Taishi Chong's shoulder, swiftly heading towards the south.

Wu Family in Tianjian City.

Wu Yanhai looked at the notes sent over by Lu Jin'an, his expression grim, breathing rapid, veins bulging on the back of his hand.

Others observing Wu Yanhai's expression felt their joy about Zheng Dongliu going to pay respects to the ancestor slightly diminish.

"Family Head?"

The Second Elder cautiously spoke: "What did Saint Lu say?"

"The audacity of this brat!"

Wu Yanhai heavily slapped the envelope onto the table: "He completely disregards Sect Master Zheng's respect!"

"Family Head, be careful with your words!" The Second Elder's complexion changed slightly, "Such words can't be spoken."

"See for yourselves!" Wu Yanhai threw the notebook on the table, still full of displeasure.

After a few elders looked over, they remained silent.

The letter's contents were straightforward: first, inviting the Wu Family to go to Taihe City; second, that the Wu Family could only have half of Tianjian City centered around the Wu Family's Sword Tomb.

And the other half, belongs to the Great Infinite Buddha.

Regarding the territories outside the Wu Family's control... those they can defend remain theirs, those they can't will belong to others.

With the current state of the Wu Family, forget the outside territories, how could they defend even half of Tianjian City against the Great Infinite Buddha of Divine Concealing Realm? With what?

"Family Head." The Third Elder cautiously phrased: "Since Saint Lu wrote it this way, it means the Great Infinite Buddha won't cross the line..."

"How does it matter if they don't cross the line?" Wu Yanhai's expression was grim: "Even if the territory can't be touched, can the cultivation resources remain untouched?!

He completely disregards the respect of Sect Master Zheng paying homage to the ancestor!"

"Family Head, why not leave the Chang'an Domain?"

"Are you willing?" Wu Yanhai snorted coldly: "With the people we have left, we can only bully Small Domains, but if settled in a Small Domain, does the Wu Family have a future?

The ancestor... hasn't entered the Sword Tomb!"

In silence, Wu Yanhai leaned back in his chair with a sigh, closed his eyes, and slowly said: "Prepare, defend as much as we can, I've heard others are visiting from other domains... Though unfamiliar, communication is still possible."

He waved his hand weakly: "Dismissed."

······

East of Chang'an Domain's center, the Fire Phoenix Boat hovered over Taihe City.

In the cabin of the Flying Boat, Zhiyu was wolfing down the delicacies on the table, while Lu Jin'an, sitting by the window on the Beauty Couch of his Master, was studying a map of the Chang'an Domain, eyes contemplative.

Holding the Candle Dragon Eggshell Fragment, Pei Wanyu condensed demon energy in her palm, walked over to Lu Jin'an's side, leaned on him: "Master roughly understands why Zhiyu didn't eat it."

"What's the reason?"

Lu Jin'an, holding the map, without looking away, instinctively reached his other hand towards his Master's garment's scarf collar.

Slap!

Pei Wanyu's palm slammed the back of his hand as she reproached: "What are you doing? Zhiyu is still here!"

Lu Jin'an, putting down the map, noted his hand half inside his Master's garment, reflexively curled his fingers: "Cough... It's instinct, instinct."

"Take it out!" Pei Wanyu glared at him.

Lu Jin'an obediently withdrew it; Pei Wanyu adjusted her collar, then turned to look at Zhiyu while lying on her side: "Currently, Zhiyu's power isn't enough to perfectly absorb this eggshell, so she said 'can't eat' as a form of instinct."

"What's her current realm?"

Lying sideways, Pei Wanyu slightly bent her legs under her skirt, the full and lush curve of her waist and hips slowly unveiled.

She softly said: "Zhiyu could be at any realm below that of a Demon Saint."

Lu Jin'an's gaze immediately shifted from Pei Wanyu's figure to Zhiyu, who was eating messily: "The Candle Dragon Bloodline is that strong?"

"Let me tell you a secret. I had the aura and strength of a Demon Emperor at birth."

"Truly enviable." Lu Jin'an sighed, then shifted: "So, it's about mastering the strength within, right?"

"Yes."

"That's simple." Lu Jin'an smiled: "You have experience; you can teach Zhiyu."

"Master doesn't take disciples anymore."

"Just teach briefly..."

"You could seize the opportunity to delve into demon beasts' cultivation system... Candle Dragon Bloodline, isn't it tempting to research?"

Lu Jin'an paused for a moment, and with a helpless smile, conceded.

"I yield to you."
