King Lu's Dragon Qi Paradise
At first glance, although there were no sun, moon, or stars, there was light. The light that sprinkled down was faintly yellowish, as if it was the world of the sun. However, there was one place that was different from the rest. The dark Samsara Platform stood tall, but there were greyish-black clouds gathering there, rolling about. The ground that was covered by the dark clouds was a stretch of greyish-black darkness, with a hint of serene depth, which made the Samsara Platform stand out.
The Reincarnation Platform glowed with a dark and cryptic light. It was surrounded by statues, all of them beasts. There were also black shadows floating about, and their movements were abnormally slow. Their eyes were filled with confusion, and there were hundreds and thousands of them.
The Blind Daoist's Primordial Spirit stood atop the Reincarnation Platform as he watched the black shadows being sucked into the Reincarnation Platform. As soon as one was sucked into the Reincarnation Platform, another statue lit up and came to life. With a loud roar, the statue charged out.
The strange thing was that another statue was left behind, but it seemed to have lost some of its spirituality.
"Hm, my Reincarnation Platform absorbs the souls of those who have been killed, and revives them. The only problem is that it consumes energy."
"Although I can replenish my energy, if I expend it for too long, it won't do." The Blind Daoist was deep in thought when something happened beneath the platform. He looked up and saw that two statues had exploded. The Blind Daoist's face fell as he walked up to check. The statues had turned into a white board, and the demonic imprint had been wiped clean.
"The Demon General who was sent to kill Pei Zi Yun had his imprint wiped clean." The Blind Daoist's face was ashen as he stared at the white board. He frowned, "To be able to wipe out the imprint, and even destroy the Demon General, Pei Zi Yun must be a Son of Destiny. And a unique one at that. It's been years since I've met such a Son of Destiny."
"I have to take advantage of this opportunity to kill this person."
This mountain wasn't considered steep. If it were spring or summer, it would still be a beautiful sight to behold. However, at this moment, it was deep within the valley. Amidst the withered grass and trees, shadows could be seen moving about.
"Hide well, quickly." Several soldiers of King Lu hurriedly hid themselves on both sides of the road. They had bows and arrows slung across their backs, and their eyes gleamed as they hid well.
A bird swooped down, as if it had sensed the presence of these soldiers. It then turned around and flew away, landing on a tree far away.
"I have to kill this person." The Blind Daoist was in a daze as he mumbled to himself. At this point, a thirty year old Daoist laughed, "Who does your excellency want to kill?"
"True Sovereign, the person you want to kill is naturally Pei Zi Yun." The Blind Daoist woke up from his reverie and didn't explain much. He just smiled and looked towards the entrance of the valley.
At the entrance of the valley, water droplets dripped down from the damp rock walls. The night wind blew past, making it very cold.
The man who was addressed as True Sovereign was none other than the Earth Immortal clone of Dark Altar Sect. He swept his gaze across the 500 soldiers and frowned, "Pei Zi Yun is already an Earth Immortal clone. His senses are extremely acute. With so many people here, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide his presence."
"Do you have a solution?" The Blind Daoist was dressed in a seventh ranked official's robe, and frowned as he asked. The Earth Immortal laughed, "The magical treasures of my sect should be able to block it."
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Immortal. Please!"
The Earth Immortal took out a treasure, which looked like a jade medallion. There were mountains, rivers, seas, sun, moon, and stars engraved on it. After taking it out, the Earth Immortal's aura became concealed.
The Blind Daoist paused as he noticed that the five hundred soldiers had concealed their auras. If it weren't for the fact that they were connected by demonic energy, he wouldn't have been able to detect them.
'The Dao Arts of this world are not to be underestimated.' The Blind Daoist was deep in thought when he heard the Earth Immortal speak, "They're here."
The Blind Daoist paused as he heard the sound of hooves approaching. He looked over and saw that it was his own Daoist official. He was accompanied by ten other riders as they galloped into the valley.
The Daoist official galloped and looked behind him, only to see Pei Zi Yun following closely behind him. Pei Zi Yun whipped his horse as he gave chase. The Daoist official's eyes were filled with hatred as he whipped his horse once more.
"Pei Zi Yun has caught up and is getting closer and closer. Looks like your plan to lure the snake out of its hole wasn't bad." The Earth Immortal looked on and laughed coldly. It was just that the Daoist official had escaped and Pei Zi Yun was nearing the entrance of the valley. All of a sudden, he pulled on the reins of his horse and stopped.
The valley was damp and deep. When Pei Zi Yun saw this, he was reminded of the Demon General that he had burned to death. This was also a valley, and was surrounded on all four sides. This was a place of life and death.
Pei Zi Yun's heart skipped a beat as he looked towards the valley. Everything was normal within the valley. Only the Daoist official's demonic energy could be sensed as he galloped through the valley.
"There's no problem?"
Pei Zi Yun didn't reply as he laughed. His vision blurred as the Plum Blossom appeared in front of him. He turned around and saw the results. He then squinted his eyes.
"Great calamity?"
Pei Zi Yun looked at the divination and cleared his throat, "Indeed, there's an ambush. To be able to conceal one's aura and hide from my senses, there are only a few people in this world."
"The Earth Immortal's clone is working together with King Lu. I have to give it a try."
Pei Zi Yun thought to himself as he looked towards the valley and laughed, "You guys are lying in ambush. Do you really think I can't see through you?"
As he spoke, he tugged on the reins as the horse panted heavily before it turned around and left.
The Blind Daoist and the Earth Immortal were waiting for Pei Zi Yun to turn around and leave, disappearing into the distance. Everyone looked at each other in dismay as their expressions froze. It was as if their plan had failed.
The Blind Daoist then asked the Earth Immortal, "True Sovereign, has he really left?"
The Earth Immortal squinted his eyes as he noticed that Pei Zi Yun's aura had indeed disappeared. He then spoke out, "He's really left."
"Where did we reveal any flaws that allowed him to detect us?" The Blind Daoist frowned.
The Earth Immortal had a complicated look on his face as he sighed, "I'm afraid that he might not have detected us. It's just that he's proud and arrogant, and wasn't willing to risk his life. The moment he saw that the situation wasn't right, he left."
"Hm, I didn't want to be so vigilant." The Blind Daoist had a look of helplessness on his face as his heart trembled. Today, they had used the Demon General as bait and had been extremely careful. Yet this person was still able to escape from danger. This proved that this person had the will of the heavens. All these thoughts flashed across his mind, but he didn't say it out loud. He then looked at the Earth Immortal, "Pei Zi Yun managed to escape once, but he won't be able to escape again. We can only think of another way next time. True Sovereign, would you like to return to the camp with me?"
When the Earth Immortal heard this, his face was expressionless. This official was one thing, but the rest of the soldiers were emitting a strong aura of evil. He had his suspicions long ago. When he heard the invitation, he waved his hands, "There's no need for that. I have my own place to go. If there's a plan in the future, just send me a message."
The Blind Daoist sighed. The Earth Immortal hadn't used the energy crystal yet, and was wary of him. He then smiled, "True Sovereign, please go. Come back again next time."
As he spoke, they parted ways. Seeing the Earth Immortal's clone leave, someone approached the Blind Daoist and whispered, "Your Majesty, why didn't you leave the Earth Immortal's clone behind? It'll be easier for us to transform."
"There's no need for that. It's just a clone, and won't be of much use. He doesn't have much time to live. Sooner or later, he will consume the energy crystal and transform. There's no need to rush.
"Yes." The man acknowledged. The Blind Daoist watched as the Earth Immortal left, and a smile appeared on his face.
The sky was still cloudy, and the Earth Immortal continued walking. He noticed that the forest was getting darker and darker, and the atmosphere was gloomy. It was still drizzling, and not snowing.
"Something's not right." The Earth Immortal was dressed in a Daoist robe, and had the demeanor of an immortal. His body was like a swallow, and with every step he took, he traversed ten feet. At this point, he had a grave expression on his face.
'This treasure is the best at concealing itself. Even an Earth Immortal wouldn't be able to see through it. It's impossible for King Lu to leak this secret. How did Pei Zi Yun manage to detect it? '
'Also, there's something wrong with this official of King Lu's. In fact, it's very wrong. 'The Earth Immortal furrowed his brows as he pondered. All of a sudden, his expression changed as he stopped in his tracks.
At this point, Pei Zi Yun stepped out and blocked the Earth Immortal's path. He looked at the Earth Immortal in shock and nodded his head, "It's indeed you. I didn't expect you to join forces with King Lu. If the Imperial Court knew about this, what would they think?"
But that's right. You've always been jealous of me. You're afraid that King Lu has promised you something. That's why you're acting in such a manner. "
"Since that's the case, you can't just leave like that." Pei Zi Yun laughed as he spoke. His tone was calm, but it caused the Earth Immortal's clone to take a few steps back. He then glared at Pei Zi Yun, "I'm just an incarnation, and you want to fight against Dark Altar Sect to the death?"
"The last time we dealt with Xie Cheng Dong, it was only a temporary measure. Halfway through, we fell out and chased after him. We're already enemies. It's just that we didn't have the time to take revenge."
"This time, you've gone crazy and joined forces with King Lu to kill me. Naturally, you won't rest until you're dead." Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly, "Besides, do you think I'm a Yin Master who doesn't know the true feelings of an Earth Immortal?"
"Although an Earth Immortal can split into incarnations, losing one is a huge blow to one's vitality. It could even shorten one's lifespan. You've already lost three incarnations. How much lifespan do you have left?"
"If I kill you, your body and soul will be destroyed. Your original body won't be able to live for much longer."
Hearing these words, the Earth Immortal's clone's face turned ashen, "Fine."
He glared at Pei Zi Yun and retreated instead of advancing. At the same time, he waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the darkness.
Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly, "Hm, you've escaped. I'll still say the same thing. I'll peel off your skin, and you're nothing but a cowardly coward!"
Although there had been many such people throughout history, Pei Zi Yun couldn't help but feel disdain for them. With a single point of his finger, a bolt of lightning shot out.
"Boom!" The lightning collided and exploded. At this point, the retreating Earth Immortal's clone revealed a sinister smile as he pointed, "Seal!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a deep ripple appeared, and a mirror appeared. With a single glance, Pei Zi Yun was frozen in place.
"Escape? You're a thorn in my side. If I don't kill you, how can I rest easy? This is my sect's most valuable treasure, the Mystic Yin Mirror. It can be used to kill you, and now it's time to use it. " As the Earth Immortal's clone spoke, he howled once again, calling for his ally to arrive. He was only two to three miles away from the Earth Immortal. If the cavalry were to run at full speed, it wouldn't even take a minute.
Thinking that his ally had heard him, the Earth Immortal's clone didn't hesitate any longer. In a flash, he drew his sword and stabbed downwards. If he could kill Pei Zi Yun, that would be the best. If he couldn't, he was an Earth Immortal himself. Couldn't he resist for a while?
When the time came, they would surround him and kill him. This was the art of war.
"Eh? An Earth Immortal's voice? " The blind Daoist was slowly making his way back. The Daoist official was reporting to the blind Daoist when he heard the howl. His expression changed, "This is bad. The Earth Immortal's clone has encountered an enemy."
"So Pei Zi Yun didn't escape. Instead, he circled back to ambush us?" The Daoist official looked towards the direction of the howl, and his expression changed.
The blind Daoist didn't hesitate and immediately ordered, "Quick, quick, turn around and chase after them. They're not far from us."
Hearing the order, the cavalrymen immediately turned around and ran in a different direction.
