Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 348 - 328: Are You Willing to Take Me as Your Teacher?
"If we keep dragging this out, once the reinforcements from the White Bone Demon Sect arrive, we'll be in big trouble."
"It's still up to poor Daoist me."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head and was about to step forward when a thought struck him, "This attire isn't quite right."
While speaking, his figure wavered as he changed his Profound Green Daoist Robe into a water-blue long robe and his black hair into flowing white locks, dancing in the wind. His features shifted, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed from a determined and handsome young Daoist to a devil-may-care, evil-eyed Demon Dao expert.
With the Concealing Technique applied to him, although he couldn't control the directional changes of his True Yuan or Divine Soul, slightly altering his appearance to differentiate from 'Lu Qingfeng' or 'Changqing Daoist' was an effortless task.
He examined himself.
Lu Qingfeng hastily stashed his Purple Gold Bowl at his waist into his storage bag and replaced it with a halo-like iron ring, also putting away the Wind and Fire Dual Beads in his hands.
Now satisfied, he strode forward.
Ahead.
Xiang Chao's brows were knitted tightly, moving unpredictably from left to right, looking quite disheveled. Activating his Sword technique to control his Flying Sword, he turned to Zhou Su and transmitted a message, "Junior Sister, if we delay any longer, things will turn bad."
"Angry Wave Mountain!"
Zhou Su shouted angrily, raising a palm, with the roar of waves still audible.
In the sky, waves roared and converged into a great mountain. A peak as if formed by the endless gathering of sea water descended, intent on crushing the four Demon Cultivators.
However, after all, it was just the Spirit Void Divine Silence Realm.
With the help of her wonderful method, she could contend against those at the peak of the Spirit Void Realm, but she could only barely hold her ground without any advantage.
The Angry Wave Mountain came crashing down.
The next instant.
Luo Yu, commanding the White Bone Demon God, shouldered the impact and hurled a fist, immediately shattering the mountain and dissipating it into vast waves.
"Good opportunity!"
Gong Yushan saw the chance and moved the White Bone Demon God forward.
Directly assaulting Zhou Su.
Zhou Su promptly deployed her magic, summoning waves to block the White Bone Demon God.
But she was still struck by a punch from afar, causing her to stagger backward, with the watery barrier around her rippling and almost breaking.
"Junior Sister!"
Xiang Chao, seeing this, was filled with rage as his Flying Sword became even faster.
"Senior Brother, go ahead, don't worry about me," Zhou Su, stabilizing herself, transmitted a message to Xiang Chao. As they were both at the peak of the Spirit Void Realm, it wasn't difficult for Xiang Chao to escape the four Demon Sect cultivators. It was only because he had to look out for her that he was slowed.
"What are you saying!"
Xiang Chao's expression turned solemn, and he quickly transmitted back, "I will self-detonate my Flying Sword on the southern side to create an opening. Junior Sister, watch carefully and escape with me!"
Having said that.
Without waiting for Zhou Su to respond, he guided the Flying Sword across the sky to the south. Spirit light sparkled, and it was about to explode at any moment.
Although it was only a Fourth Rank Flying Sword, it was infused with Xiang Chao's True Yuan; once it detonated, even those at the Spirit Void Peak wouldn't dare to resist it head-on.
"Self-destruct the Magic Artifact!?"
"Spread out quickly!"
Seeing this, Luo Yu immediately shouted loudly.
The four quickly dispersed, still maintaining a united front. However, since Gong Yushan was close by in the south, even with an immediate retreat, the explosion of the Flying Sword would impact him, making it unlikely they would be able to stop Xiang Chao and Zhou Su.
Of course.
At this moment, they didn't think too far ahead.
The Flying Sword cut through the air, spirit light shimmering, ready to detonate the next moment.
Xiang Chao's face was stern.
Zhou Su's eyes flashed coldly.
The four Demon Cultivators retreated in panic.
And then, at that moment—
"Ha ha!"
"What a devoted lover."
A frivolous and stirring voice came from beyond the heavens, as a white-haired cultivator in a water-blue long robe descended from the sky, landing amidst them. Ignoring the astonished looks of the six on the scene, he pointed a finger, and instantly, a chill permeated the air, encasing the Flying Sword and freezing it, along with the self-destructive force.
The Flying Sword fell to the ground.
"Not good!"
Xiang Chao saw the newcomer and felt his heart sink.
With his cultivation, not even someone at the Spirit Void Peak could block a self-detonated Fourth Rank Flying Sword - they would have to flee. The appearance of this white-haired Daoist, who with a single point froze the Flying Sword, took away his control, and was clearly not something achievable by someone of the Spirit Void Realm.
"Jiedan True Man!"
This realization brought him utter despair.
With his wild white hair and his chilling evil Qi.
He was clearly a powerful Demon Dao fiend.
Falling into this person's hands, was there any chance of survival?
"Junior Sister!"
"Flee quickly!"
Xiang Chao didn't hesitate for a second, charged forward, his True Yuan surging fiercely and fearlessly.
"Self-destruct?"
Lu Qingfeng's eyes emitted a profound and mysterious light, catching Xiang Chao's gaze.
Xiang Chao immediately stopped in his tracks, his True Yuan subsiding and the destructive momentum dissolving.
"Senior Brother!"
Zhou Su's expression changed.
In front of this mysterious Demon Dao powerhouse, who was as good as butcher's meat, she stopped thinking of running and went up to help Xiang Chao, her face showing deep concern.
Today, Xiang Chao was first willing to self-detonate his Flying Sword and then himself.
Even someone with a heart of stone would be moved.
Even Zhou Su couldn't help but feel grateful. Seeing Xiang Chao fell victim to the 'Sorcery', her heart was filled with both shock and anger.
Lu Qingfeng glanced at the two, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Calling it Sorcery wasn't far off.
The magic practiced here was known as the 'Soul Capturing Technique.'
Back in the Sky Witch Realm, during the conflict with the forces back by the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land from the Soul Capturing Sect, it was this kind of magic that held their ground. Lu Qingfeng destroyed the Soul Capturing Sect and then plundered their supporting Blessed Land behind them.
Acquiring this technique.
Afterward, within the Five Directions Realm, he borrowed the power of the Blood Sea to enhance it to a super-level through Derivation Enhancement.
Though not quite Divine Skills.
Yet in this moment, the display unraveled, and it was not something that Xiang Chao from the Spirit Void Peak could withstand.
The mysterious powerhouse materialized abruptly.
Luo Yu and the other three spread out, hesitating for a moment, but in the end, they approached. Luo Yu bowed to Lu Qingfeng, respectfully saying, "The junior Luo Yu, from the White Bone Demon Sect, pays respect to the senior."
The other three also bowed together.
The moods of those on the Demon Dao are unpredictable. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Even though they all belonged to the Demon Dao, Luo Yu couldn't be sure whether this sudden white-haired demon's presence was friend or foe. He could only maintain a respectful demeanor and carefully brandish the name of the White Bone Demon Sect.
"White Bone Demon Sect?"
Lu Qingfeng's voice was light and carefree, as if he were a worldly wanderer, unfettered and carefree.
Zhou Su looked up, Xiang Chao came back to his senses, and Luo Yu and the four others remained respectful.
They saw the white-haired demon reveal a strangely charming smile, then with a light flick of his sleeve—
"No!"
"Spare us, senior!"
The four, always alert of the white-haired demon, cried out for mercy upon seeing his move, and they quickly retreated.
Alas.
How could mere Spirit Void Peaks escape from Lu Qingfeng's grasp?
"Roar!"
Four Water Dragons emerged from the Void, roaring furiously, and in an instant, they swallowed up Luo Yu and his fleeing companions, along with two White Bone Demon Gods.
In a flash, they disappeared into the Void, leaving no trace.
"This—"
Zhou Su and Xiang Chao, originally filled with despair, witnessed this scene with widened pupils, momentarily stunned.
This man emanated a purely demonic aura.
Did he just strike and kill four demon cultivators of the White Bone Demon Sect to rescue them?
Xiang Chao reacted the quickest, rushed forward to bow, saying, "This junior, Xiang Chao, thanks senior for saving our lives. Please disclose your name, so one day I can repay this great kindness!"
Seeing this, Zhou Su also hurried forward and bowed in thanks.
Lu Qingfeng looked at Xiang Chao with a devilish grin. Years before, upon leaving the Xuan Yin Cave, this Xiang Chao had greeted Zhou Su, arrogantly standing up for his junior sister.
Lu Qingfeng had had a poor impression of him, thinking he was just ingratiating himself.
But seeing him today, willing to risk his life for someone he loves, erased all Lu Qingfeng's ill feelings.
As for a good impression?
Not quite.
His gaze then shifted to Zhou Su. After many years, this old friend had an even stronger murderous aura. He wondered how many demons she had slain.
Observing her, his mouth curled with amusement.
Xiang Chao looked down, sensing the atmosphere, his brow furrowed in worry.
Inside, Zhou Su was even more irritated.
They should feel gratitude to this person for saving them, but if they've jumped out of the wolf's den into the tiger's mouth, this couldn't be called a rescue.
In front of this powerful being who casually slaughtered four Spirit Void Peak cultivators, neither Xiang Chao nor Zhou Su had the strength to resist.
In silence.
The thrill of escaping death gradually turned to despair.
The air grew heavy.
Only then did Lu Qingfeng chuckle lightly and say, "I am Shuiyun Daoist. Having seen this young girl's exceptional Water Technique and superb Root Bone, I've considered taking a disciple. Would you be willing to become my first disciple in the Shuiyun Sect?"
So that was it.
Both Xiang Chao and Zhou Su breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this proposal.
Zhou Su raised her head, her eyes filled with trepidation, "Thank you, Shuiyun senior, for your generous offer. However, I have long been under the tutelage of a master who raised and taught me from a young age; I can't forsake that memory."
This Shuiyun Daoist looked like he straddled the line between good and evil.
To become his disciple could bring endless trouble, even lead into the Demon Dao. How could Zhou Su dare to accept, so she hastily declined.
"If you are reluctant, then I shall simply kill you and your senior brother here."
Lu Qingfeng's tone was indifferent, "I ask you once more, are you willing to become my disciple?"
Indeed, a demon!
Zhou Su and Xiang Chao exchanged a glance, the same thought arising in both their minds.
Refuse, and die!
This was definitely the style of a true archdemon, not a wanderer of the righteous paths. And with this temper and cultivation, he was likely a formidable figure even among those in the Demon Dao.
Xiang Chao watched Zhou Su, his eyes serious.
His junior sister had always been strong-willed and stood vehemently against demons. After leaving the Xuan Yin Cave and Fiery Sun Valley, her temperament had become even fiercer.
And now she's to worship a person from the Demon Dao as a master?
She would rather die than submit.
"Your disciple Zhou Su, greets you, Teacher!"
Zhou Su knelt down, her forehead touching the ground.
"..."
Xiang Chao kept his head low, biting his lip to reign in his thoughts.
Zhou Su pressed her forehead to the ground, her heart still as lake water.
As long as the green hills last, there will be wood to burn.
It's only a matter of becoming a disciple, life is more important after all. She despised the Demon Dao and committed herself to exterminating demons, but she was not dogmatic. Even if not for herself but for Xiang Chao, she must acknowledge this 'Teacher.'
"Very well, very well, very well!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh aloud. He stepped forward and with a single finger touch on Zhou Su's forehead. Zhou Su was shocked, forcibly suppressing the urge to resist and letting the finger touch her.
The next moment.
Zhou Su's eyes widened, her face filled with shock.
"This is the 'Great Shuiyun Method' and the 'Water Dragon Technique,' the two cornerstone techniques of my sect. I have other important matters to attend to, so you practice diligently. I will come to find you later."
Zhou Su was still reeling from shock, when Shuiyun Daoist's voice reached her ears. As she looked up, she saw Shuiyun Daoist sweep his sleeve and disappear into the distance.
"Sister."
"We shouldn't stay here long."
Xiang Chao hadn't expected such a turn of events, but seeing Zhou Su dazed beside him, he quickly spoke up as a reminder.
Zhou Su came back to her senses and hurried off with Xiang Chao.
