Chapter 103: Lu Ye Encounters Disaster
Lu Yao knew he was far from escaping danger, so he rode the cloud light and rushed towards the north. Just as he was walking, he suddenly heard a coughing sound coming from behind him. Lu Yao hastily turned around, and with one glance, he was frightened to the point where his soul almost escaped.
Only a tall monk was standing behind him, with his hands clasped together, smiling at him. It was none other than Hou Yi. Lu Ye was suddenly shocked and pale, and he hastily spat out a mouthful of blood and fled in panic. In an instant, Lu Ye vanished into the horizon like a rainbow.
Lu Ye fled all the way, completely unaware of where he had arrived, only to see the towering mountain peaks in front of him, straight into the clouds, with spiritual energy filling the air and countless species thriving. At a glance, there were countless heavenly treasures and earthly gems that made people drool. Lu Ye was also shocked, as the vast land of Honghuang had gone through countless catastrophes, especially after the Great Calamity of Witch and Demon, where could such a blessed place still exist?
Especially here, it seems that there is no great master living in this style. Now, which piece of land in Honghuang is not occupied by people? Curiosity is inherent in everyone. Lu Ya descends from the cloud head, approaches to watch, a hundred birds sing in harmony, the spring water rings, the immortal deer jumps, and the trees are lush green.
Lu Yan flew over a mountain peak, and suddenly the scene opened up before him. A vast valley appeared, with a pool of clear water in the center. The pool was filled with countless lotus flowers, their beauty captivating. By the pool sat a Taoist priest, who had a slender build, slightly raised eyebrows, and a refined and handsome appearance, every inch the image of a wise and cultivated gentleman.
What made Lu Ye feel terrified was that he couldn't sense the other's existence at all, and the other gave him a mysterious and profound feeling, as if he were the embodiment of the ultimate truth in this world. Wasn't he the ancestor of Taoism?
Lu Yao suddenly woke up with a start, wondering if he had entered the world created by his opponent. Thinking back to the Hou Yi he saw earlier, Lu Yao immediately came to his senses.
"Was it you who lured me into this poor way?"
"Heh heh, it's not that I deceived you, but rather you willingly came in yourself. You jumped into the net by yourself, what do you have to complain about?"
"Who are you, anyway? What grudge or hatred do you have against me that you want to frame me?"
"Lu Yao, I am the one who welcomes the saint's disciples. It is destined to be so. Later, my junior brother Yi guessed that it would be difficult to kill you, this future saint, so he let me take care of you for a while. Who knew our fates were intertwined? You are doomed to fall here."
Lu Ye understood as soon as he heard it, and it turned out that Hou Yi and the others had long been plotting, they must have discovered themselves early on. The current situation is also extraordinary, unexpectedly, none of the disciples who were led here are easy to deal with. Lu Ye waved his right hand, and the Sun Moon Essence Wheel rushed towards Da Shi Zhi.
Dà Shì Zhì did not hide, and let the sun and moon's essence wheel hit his body. Dà Shì Zhì's shadow shattered like glass, and when Lù Yā went to search for him again, Dà Shì Zhì had already disappeared without a trace.
"Lu Yao, you have entered my world, I am the Dao of this realm, how can you possibly harm me? Why not surrender now?" A voice drifted from the air.
Lu Yao recalled the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels to protect himself, carefully searching for a way out. At this moment, the surrounding flowers, grass, trees, birds, beasts, insects, and fish all swelled up, transforming into strange magical monsters that pounced on Lu Yao with bared teeth and claws. The Sun and Moon Essence Wheels rapidly revolved around Lu Yao's body, beheading any monster that dared to approach.
The endless demons suddenly disappeared, and Emperor Jun Taizhen Xi and the nine golden crows that had already died reappeared in front of Lu Ya. The loved ones of the past met again under such a strange situation, and Lu Ya knew that all this was just an illusion created by Da Shi, but it felt too real.
Di Jun's majesty was tempered with affection, Xihe's wholehearted doting, and the pure smiles of several brothers all brought back memories of the past for Lu Ya. Lu Ya gritted his teeth, urging the sun and moon to turn the wheel and behead Di Jun, Xihe, and others in front of him. Later, various illusions emerged one after another, and Lu Ya was indeed a master of cutting off corpses, guarding his Taoist heart, and gradually passing through each crisis.
Lu Ye's Day and Month Essence Wheel flew out, killing a Golden Crow playing happily on the Fusang Tree, which was his former self. Suddenly, the world in front of him collapsed, Lu Ye felt that he had already left that illusory realm, and what was below was the breath of the Honghuang World. Lu Ye's heart relaxed slightly.
At that moment of relaxation, the seven emotions and six desires buried deep in his heart all surged out, Lu Ya spat out a mouthful of blood, his face quickly turned white, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, as if he was about to fall, that thin Taoist priest appeared again in front of Lu Ya.
"Ten Taizi, it seems you still can't escape the poor way's world. Now you might as well come with me to Mount Sumeru. My master's Buddhist teachings are boundless and will surely dispel the hatred in your heart. Who knows, you may even enter my Buddha's gate."
Dashi was about to take away Luoya, who had no power to fight back, with a wave of his sleeve. Just then, a crack appeared in the sky and an enormous black shadow emerged before their eyes. The shadow opened its mouth and released a massive suction force that pulled Luoya into its maw.
He turned around and slashed through the sky again, about to disappear into the horizon. Unexpectedly, someone came to rescue Lu Yao. His reaction was a bit slow, and the Wisdom Sword in his hand struck out, but failed to block the black shadow, only leaving a shallow wound on its tail.
Dà shì zhì cháng tàn yī shēng, shōu huí shì jiè, gōng kuī yī pú ā, zhèng zài zhè shí hòu Yǐ yě gǎn dào le.
"Big brother, was Lu Ya caught?"
"Alas, brother is powerless. Just a little short, Lu Ya was rescued by someone. From what I see, that person is the demon master Kun Peng."
"Oh? The demon master has actually made a move, and he's also a pre-heavenly great god. Brother, don't blame yourself, let's go find him together and demand that he release Lu Yao. I reckon he won't dare to oppose us, otherwise we'll flatten his North Sea."
"My junior brother, you blame me for being too careless. If I had used the Red Dust Mirror given by our teacher, the illusory world would have been even more perfect and wouldn't have been broken through by Kunpeng's world barrier. It seems I was too arrogant. However, let's not go to the North Sea after all. Most of the demon tribes are hiding nearby, and if people think we're going to take action against them, it will provoke Nüwa's intervention and cause trouble for our teacher."
Hou Yi thought for a moment and felt that what Da Shi said was very reasonable, but he also felt somewhat unwilling to let Lu Ye escape. He should have used all his strength to kill him directly earlier, why be afraid of Lu Ye's dying counterattack?
However, Hou Yi did not want Da Shi to be too self-blaming. "Lu Ya has already been seriously injured and cannot stir up trouble for the time being. In the future, there will be opportunities to take his life, and it is also a way to prevent him from secretly plotting."
Dashi nodded in agreement, they didn't know that Lu Ya had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and was now in the wolf's den. How could Kunpeng rescue him without any ulterior motives? Kunpeng took Lu Ya back to his old nest deep in the North Sea, sealed off his magical powers, and brought him to a huge palace.
