Lu Zhenyang's voice wasn't loud, but his words were full of disdain.
Then, he glanced around as if he didn't put the people from the Blessed Enclave in his eyes.
The people who had been attracted by the Qilin all turned to look at Lu Zhenyang.
There were a total of 118 Blessed Enclaves, and the strongest ones were the Ten Great Enclaves and the Xuande Enclave. There were also many weaker ones, but no one had ever dared to be so arrogant.
The Blessed Enclave's strength was ranked at the bottom, so Lu Zhenyang's behavior annoyed many people.
For a moment, Zhao Hao, Huangfu Xiu, and the others looked at Lu Zhenyang with unkind eyes.
However, I became more cautious in my heart.
Since Lu Zhenyang was being ridden by the Qilin, other people might think that Lu Zhenyang's strength was weak. However, I understood that Lu Zhenyang's strength was extremely strong. Since he dared to act so arrogantly on the stage, he must have something to rely on.
At this time, Officer Wang made a hand seal with his right hand and closed his eyes to sense.
Then, he came over and said to me doubtfully, "The Wangwu Grotto-Heaven's protective formation is intact … But when Lu Zhenyang came in, I didn't sense anything.
It's really strange … "
Then, without waiting for my answer, he waved his hand. Immediately, a figure came over and bent down in front of Officer Wang. I didn't know what he said, but after a while, that person dashed away in a hurry.
I guessed he had gone to check the protective formation.
The Wangwu Grotto-Heaven's protective formation was created by the West City Lord, and it had been controlled by the previous masters of the Grotto-Heaven. Not to mention its extraordinary power, it was second to none in the world in terms of mystery.
Officer Wang had been in charge of the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven for a long time, so he had a good grasp of the formation. But even so, he hadn't sensed anything before Lu Zhenyang appeared …
This situation could only mean one thing: Lu Zhenyang's strength was strong enough to avoid the detection of the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven's protective formation!
I had a bad premonition. When Lu Zhenyang took the Devil Refining Gourd, he must have gained something from it!
While I was worried, Lu Zhenyang stood on the stage without the slightest bit of fear.
It was probably because he was ashamed of being ridden by Qilin just now. At this time, he looked around and deliberately emitted the aura of a Yang God Celestial Master, attracting the attention of the cultivators below the Yang Spirit on the viewing platform. Even the Yang God Celestial Masters felt his Yang Spirit aura and their faces became serious.
Among the crowd, only two people showed joy on their faces. They were naturally Lu Chengping and Lu Chengyi.
Before Lu Zhenyang appeared, the two of them had ugly expressions in front of the Yang God Celestial Master of the Taishan Grotto-Heaven. Lu Zhenyang's appearance was undoubtedly a divine medicine that could bring the dead back to life.
He couldn't care less about his status as an elder and actually rushed forward to greet Lu Zhenyang.
Lu Chengyi took the lead and arrived in front of Lu Zhenyang. He looked him up and down, and the emotions on his face were hard to describe. After pondering for a while, he finally spat out a few words in a low voice, "Zhenyang, you … have returned …"
Lu Chengyi was Lu Zhenyang's father. In some aspects, he might not be a qualified father. Lu Zhenyang's ending today was partly due to his and Lu Ziyang's excessive pampering.
But from Lu Zhenyang's point of view, he was obviously very fond of his father, Lu Chengyi.
Lu Zhenyang retracted his Yang Spirit aura and quickly stepped forward, letting Lu Chengyi look at him. He replied in a muffled voice, "Yes, I'm back!"
The conversation between father and son was very short, but they clearly understood the meaning behind it.
Lu Zhenyang understood Lu Chengyi's heartache, and Lu Chengyi could also empathize with Lu Zhenyang's painstaking efforts to become like this.
This painstaking effort was naturally referring to me!
Lu Chengyi wiped away the tears in his eyes and looked at me across Lu Chengyi's broken body. In his eyes, there was a hint of resentment.
Previously, I had met Lu Chengyi once. At that time, because of Zhang Kanwen's interference, he spared me once. However, after experiencing the incident at the Royal Mausoleum of Yin Shang and seeing Lu Zhenyang's current appearance that was neither human nor ghost, Lu Chengyi probably regretted not killing me back then.
I sighed.
Lu Chengyi was obviously different from Lu Ziyang and Lu Zhenyang. This could be seen from the fact that he had spared me.
But the hatred between me and the Lu family was very deep. It was already a situation where one of us would die. No one could change this.
The scene of Lu Zhenyang and Lu Chengyi's deep affection didn't last long. On the other side of the arena, the people of Taishan Grotto-Heaven had already lost their patience.
The young man among the two old men and one young man was the first to lose his patience.
He took a step forward with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "Taishan Li Zhihuan, please give me some pointers, fellow daoist of Lingshan!"
After saying that, he didn't hide his strength anymore. A rainbow light flew out from the top of his head. A huge amount of Taoist Qi and True Essence flew back and forth in the air, tearing apart the sky. His white robe fluttered even though there was no wind, and he instantly became the focus of the audience.
Wang Can leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Taishan Grotto-Heaven, also known as Pengxuan Grotto-Heaven, has a circumference of 1,000 miles. It is located in Qianfeng County, Yanzhou, which is now Tai 'an, Shandong. It is ranked third among the 36 Minor Grotto-Heavens.
Li Zhihuan is quite famous in the Blessed Grotto-Heaven. He is recognized as the genius who is most likely to break through to the Yang Spirit Realm within 50 years. Even some Heavenly Masters who have already condensed their Yang Spirits don't have much chance of winning in front of him.
Lu Zhenyang has met his match, so he has kicked an iron plate. "
I looked at Li Zhihuan but didn't say anything.
On the path of cultivation, every step forward required the accumulation of time, but more importantly, it depended on one's talent.
For example, people like Liang Tianxin, who had a lifespan of 1,000 years, were limited by their talent. It was almost impossible for them to reach the Yang Spirit Realm in their lifetime.
Li Zhihuan looked very young. He was at most 25 or 26 years old, but he was already very close to reaching the Yang Spirit Realm. He was indeed worthy of the reputation of the entire Blessed Grotto-Heaven.
Unfortunately, such a genius was not enough in front of Lu Zhenyang.
It wasn't that I wanted to boost others' morale and belittle my own, but based on Lu Zhenyang's performance in Chiyou's tomb, this Li Zhihuan was probably still not his match.
Lu Zhen Yang clearly had the same opinion as me. He also took a step forward and stood in front of Lu Cheng Yi and Lu Cheng Ping. He looked at Li Zhihuan and said calmly, "To be able to have the same level of cultivation as me at this age, you can be considered a genius.
However, in this world, there is no lack of geniuses … However, killing a few of them is also refreshing. "
After saying that, without waiting for Li Zhihuan to react, Lu Zhenyang exerted strength in his feet. His body surged with True Essence, and he turned into a black ray of light, heading straight for Li Zhihuan.
As expected of Lu Zhenyang. He always looked like he was the boss of the world. With just a few words, he had completely destroyed the once-in-a-hundred-years genius of the Grand Mountain Grotto-Heaven.
I didn't find it strange that he had said those words. If he hadn't said those words, he wouldn't be Lu Zhenyang.
However, what he did next shocked me.
He actually ignored the rules of the Heavenly Grand Ritual. He didn't wait for the announcement of the start of the battle, and he didn't wait for everyone to walk to their respective areas. He openly attacked in front of everyone.
Li Zhihuan, who was opposite him, was also shocked. Clearly, he didn't expect that he would encounter such a lunatic who didn't play by the rules.
However, after a while, he reacted. He immediately mobilized his True Essence and sent the two elders behind him to the side. Then, he formed a seal with his hands and began to deal with Lu Zhenyang.
Under Li Zhihuan's control, the incomparably solid Celestial Master Yang Spirit above his head began to slowly rotate. In an instant, within a three-foot radius around him, a gust of wind that was hundreds of feet high appeared. Like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, it headed straight for Lu Zhenyang.
Li Zhihuan's figure could not be seen in the astral winds. Only his indifferent voice could be heard. "Killing an ugly thing like you won't make me feel refreshed. I'll only feel disgusted."
This Li Zhihuan was clearly someone who wouldn't suffer a loss with his words.
After the tit-for-tat ridicule, the astral winds that Li Zhihuan urged became even more violent.
Fortunately, there was the power of the Heavenly Grand Ritual. Otherwise, the astral winds alone would have seriously injured most of the surrounding cultivators.
However, Lu Zhenyang's expression did not change at all. He did not place the astral winds in his heart at all. With a wave of his right hand, the surrounding air instantly froze. After that, countless blood-red strands appeared on his body, tightly wrapping around his withered and ugly body. His entire being abruptly increased in speed, charging straight into the violent astral winds.
"Did Lu Zhenyang become a fool after being beaten by Qilin?
He actually used his flesh and blood to resist the full blow of the Celestial Master Yang Spirit? "Wang Can's eyes widened, his face full of confusion.
However, he quickly exhaled and smiled again. "That's good. Dying in the hands of Li Zhihuan will save us a lot of trouble."
Not only Wang Can, but many people in the surrounding stands were also stunned. They had an expression that said, "This child is strong, but not smart."
On the path of cultivation, although the physical body would be strengthened with every increase in cultivation, this was not the essence of cultivation.
The so-called cultivators didn't cultivate the physical body, but the Divine Soul.
Therefore, no matter how high a cultivator's cultivation was, the physical body was just a bag of skin, far less powerful than the Yang Spirit.
The people in the audience were all outstanding people in the cultivation world. Even if their cultivation was not as good as Lu Zhenyang and Li Zhihuan in the arena, there was not much difference. Naturally, they all understood this truth.
Therefore, in their opinion, Lu Zhenyang's act of using his mere physical strength to resist the power of the Celestial Master Yang Spirit was extremely stupid. It was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
Even I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
I glanced at the astral winds. At this time, Lu Zhenyang had been completely engulfed, and not even a trace of his shadow could be seen.
From the moment Lu Zhenyang suddenly launched an attack to the moment he broke into the astral winds driven by Li Zhihuan, only ten seconds had passed. Was the battle over?
If that was the case, Lu Zhenyang was too stupid …
