Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 958: Sudden Appearance of Intruders
After listening to Jinghong’s account, the entity within the black ancient ring spoke with a voice as calm and unruffled as an ancient well.
“The immortal palace disciples have been stirred by their innermost desires, vying for this man, Lu Yang. This reminds me of a tragic incident from the ancient era.
“Did someone cause the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit to spiral out of control? Or does Lu Yang possess some intricate connection to the Harem Golden Core—perhaps acquainted with an ancient figure who aided him in condensing it, thus culminating in today’s calamity?
“Since no Fusion cultivators have joined the fray, it indicates that the gap between them and Lu Yang is so vast that they harbor no desire toward him.
“Disciple, regardless of how events unfold, do not enter the fray. This man is far more dangerous than you imagine.”
“But Shifu, I...I also like Lu Yang!” Jinghong felt her heart thumping wildly. At the mere thought of Lu Yang, an indescribable sense of possessiveness welled up within her, making her desire to claim him as her own.
Shifu did warn me not to approach Lu Yang, but I’ve heard so many tales of him that some fondness for him has taken root in my heart. Under today’s inexplicable influence, that fondness had expanded infinitely until she could no longer suppress her feelings!
A harrumph came from the black ancient ring. “Hmm? Then you should quickly enter this ancient ring’s small world. One shall suppress it for you...”
“Please, Shifu, allow your disciple to indulge this once!”
The entity within the black ancient ring was rendered speechless, eyes twitching.
~~~
“Junior Brother Lu Yang is mine!” Wielding twin daggers, Jinghong interposed herself between Lan Ting and Tao Yaoye, deftly neutralizing their attacks.
“I never expected Senior Sister Jinghong to have been concealing her true strength all this time.” Lan Ting detected something amiss the moment they engaged.
She wasn’t trying to boast. Even among the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, where prodigies abounded, her talent was considered exceptionally terrifying. With her Divine Transfiguration cultivation, even Intermediate Divine Transfiguration disciples renowned for combat prowess could barely fight to a draw with her.
Yet Senior Sister Jinghong, an Intermediate Divine Transfiguration cultivator not known for combat, is matching me blow for blow. This proves that she is not as simple as she appears.
“The strong belong only to the strong!” Jinghong asserted her dominance, displaying no sign of retreat as she faced two opponents alone.
True to her name, Jinghong moved like a stunning swan, darting through the confined space at astonishing speed. Even the Kunpeng, famed for their rapid speed, could hardly surpass her when employing their Extreme Speed Spell.
The three-way battle grew increasingly chaotic. Lu Yang finally spotted an opportunity to flee. With the “To Inches Technique,” he shrank himself, but Lan Ting’s two sash ribbons were imbued with some unknown spell and shrank in tandem, still binding him tightly.
“Should I cut the waistbands?” Lu Yang hesitated as he saw Lan Ting constantly using them as weapons. He was worried they might be her life-bound magical treasure and that severing them rashly could harm her.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy aptly stepped forth to ease his mind. “Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. Lass Lan’s life-bound treasure is the axe in her hand.”
“What?!” In an instant, Lu Yang’s impression of Lan Ting underwent a drastic change.
Forget it, now isn’t the time to think so much. As long as it won’t hurt Junior Sister Lan, it’s fine.
Lu Yang summoned his Qingfeng Sword and effortlessly sliced through the ribbons, freeing himself.
~~~
“Senior Sister, shouldn’t we intervene and put a stop to this?” Before Elder Zhu Hong was a water mirror, reflecting the bound Lu Yang and the wooden clone chased by countless Moon Laurel Immortal Palace disciples.
Luo Hongxia had received an auditory message from the Moonchaser True Person and understood the whole story.
She snorted coldly. “What’s the hurry? We can wait until that kid, Lu Yang, is caught before stepping in.
“You didn’t see him on his first day in Sinner Hall. Disciples delivering meals came in an endless stream. Outsiders would think our immortal palace is his palace harem.
“We just need to scare this kid a little, so he’ll think twice about casually starting a harem.”
~~~
“Senior Brother Lu Yang, don’t run!” Noticing her waistbands had been cut, Lan Ting hastened to pursue him.
But Tao Yaoye and Jinghong wouldn’t give her that chance. They joined forces to block her at the door.
“Fine, fine, you’ve forced my hand!” Lan Ting had almost touched the hem of Lu Yang’s garment, but this perfect opportunity had been ruined by the two. Since Senior Brother Lu Yang is no longer present, I might as well not care about my image.
The severed pieces of ribbon on the ground rejoined seamlessly, restored to their original state. Lan Ting wrapped the ribbons around her axe. With a gentle flick, the axe spun with a whooshing sound, its power astonishing.
Lu Yang scurried away, not daring to pause for even an instant. If Lan Ting and the other two joined forces, it would surely be impossible for him to escape.
“The guest rooms aren’t safe either, huh?”
“Junior Brother, don’t be afraid. Your senior sister will protect you.” A figure suddenly appeared and yanked Lu Yang away.
Lu Yang took a glimpse. It is Senior Sister Jinghong!
It shouldn’t be, though. Isn’t Senior Sister Jinghong still fighting in the guest room?
“The one fighting in the guest room is a clone she crafted. And I must say, this lass is pretty skilled in creating clones. It seems she has learned artifact refinement techniques well." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
“Junior Sister Lu, let’s leave the immortal palace together and roam the world!” Jinghong embraced Lu Yang, her voluptuous figure pressing against him until he could barely breathe.
Thanks to her training in artifact refinement, her strength was astonishing. Even Lu Yang struggled to break free.
Senior Moonchaser, your crimes are heinous!
Lu Yang had already cursed the Moonchaser True Person multiple times in his heart.
It’s one thing for your Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit to go haywire, but you should make the immortal palace disciples like you instead! Why did they end up liking me?
“To Inches, Shrinking Earth!”
Lu Yang instantly shrank and burrowed into the earth. However, Jinghong was no ordinary opponent. She employed some unknown spell that granted her a similar burrowing ability.
And her burrowing speed eclipsed his.
Unable to execute sword flight underground, Lu Yang had no choice but to emerge and skim across the ground in flight.
If he flew higher, he was afraid of being detected by other Moon Laurel Immortal Palace disciples.
Jinghong produced a shuttle she had forged. Its speed was remarkable, not any slower than the pace of Lu Yang’s sword flight.
“Someone has breached the immortal palace.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy frowned.
“Ah? Who?” Caught off guard by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s sudden remark, Lu Yang barely registered it.
“I don’t know who, but there are at least two Transcendent Tribulation cultivators. They appear to have come with hostile intentions.”
“How did they get in? What about the immortal palace’s Great Sect Defense Array?”
“They know how to disable the array and bypass the immortal palace’s detection.”
“Then what should we do? Notify the immortal palace?” Compared to unknown Transcendent Tribulation cultivators infiltrating the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, being chased by a group of disciples seemed trivial.
“If I notify the immortal palace directly, it’ll be difficult to explain how I found out. Immortal Fairy, tell me where they are.”
“They just passed through the immortal palace’s entrance.”
“Perfect timing then.”
Lu Yang pivoted on his Qingfeng Sword and flew directly toward the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace’s entrance.
He dared to wager that Luo Hongxia was aware of his situation and had been observing from the sidelines—perhaps the Moonchaser True Person as well. Since that’s the case, I shall lead the intruders right into their line of sight!
The intruders employed Invisibility Techniques, rendering them imperceptible to the naked eye. Even with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy pinpointing their location, Lu Yang could only see a vast expanse of white snow.
Using his spiritual consciousness, Lu Yang saw Jinghong hurl a rope as she relentlessly pursued him. He abruptly changed direction, causing the rope to miss and fly toward that expanse of snow.
“What rotten luck.”
A human figure materialized, grumbling as they shattered the rope. They had been well concealed, but this unexpected attack forced them to defend themselves.
“Intruders!” Luo Hongxia shot to her feet, instantly grasping the gravity of the situation. Through the water mirror, she directed a cyan beam of light at this particular intruder!
