Rule 21 of Buyi Town: [If you leave the town or kill the town mayor, you no longer need to follow the rules of Buyi Town]
When the owner of the medicine shop explained the meaning of Rule 21 to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, they both thought of one thing at the same time.
Since they couldn't leave the town or kill the mayor, which one would be more advantageous?
They didn't know the answer, so they decided to give it a try.
Whether the mayor left the town or was killed, it would be beneficial for both of them.
If the mayor left the town, Buyi Town would become their territory, and they could find another way to leave, such as starting with the private tutor.
And they didn't believe that the mayor leaving the town would have any impact on Buyi Town.
If they could kill the mayor, that would be even better, and they could directly pass the level.
But it wasn't easy to make the mayor enter the passage to leave.
They didn't know the location of the ancestral hall, nor did they know who the mayor was.
It didn't matter, by causing chaos in Buyi Town, the mayor would take action.
The person who made the rules would not tolerate anyone breaking them, which would be a direct slap in the face, exposing the loopholes in the rules.
So they chose to use the rules to wreak havoc in Buyi Town.
Lu Yang first threw a smoke bomb, fabricated the function of the jade pendant, and deliberately communicated through paper, giving the impression that it was a method that was secretly devised and should not be known to others.
Since everything in the town couldn't escape the mayor's eyes, how could Lu Yang possibly reveal or write down the method to pass the level?
The mayor laughed at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's arrogance, but didn't realize that he was also arrogant. He was successfully deceived by Lu Yang, and all his attention was focused on the jade pendant.
Then the two of them played tricks on the constables three times, telling the mayor that his men were no match for them.
If his subordinates were not a match, the mayor would personally take action to deal with the two troublemakers.
The mayor thought that stealing the jade pendant would solve everything, and he waited for the two of them to fall into the trap at the ancestral hall. But he didn't expect that the two of them had no intention of using the jade pendant at all. What they wanted was for the mayor to appear at the ancestral hall.
As for how Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou discussed this simple plan, there was no need for discussion.
If the Demon Sect Master wasn't cunning, what kind of Demon Sect Master would he be?
…
Back to the present, at the entrance of the ancestral hall, the mayor was deeply trapped in the Bone-Crushing Gale. The "Immortal Rule" and the "Mortal Rule" were in constant competition, causing his body to be constantly damaged and healed. The pain made him wish he could commit suicide on the spot.
"What is this thing?" Lu Yang observed the mayor, never having seen such a monster before.
"This is Beastification!" The Immortal Fairy said in Lu Yang's mind.
"Beastification?" Lu Yang went through the cultivation knowledge stored in his mind, but there was no corresponding term.
It seemed to be a cultivation method from ancient times that had been lost.
The Immortal Fairy continued, "During ancient times, this cultivation method was popular for a while. It involved devouring the bodies of demons with human bodies, allowing one to possess the advantages of both humans and demons. It was quite powerful. However, this cultivation method also had significant drawbacks, such as being unable to become an immortal."
"To become an immortal, one needs a pure body. This kind of body that is neither human nor demon cannot condense the Dao Fruit. Later on, no one practiced this method anymore."
"Could it be that the other party is also from ancient times?" Lu Yang wondered.
"It's unlikely. People from ancient times knew the flaws of this cultivation method. It's more likely that someone from later generations obtained this cultivation method and only knows its advantages, not its drawbacks."
"Anyway, the older and more lost something is, the better. It's normal to have this kind of thinking. However, old things are not necessarily powerful, and their loss is bound to have its reasons. It could be that no one can practice it, or no one is willing to practice it. We should objectively look at the problem." The Immortal Fairy shrugged. This kind of thing was common in ancient times.
For example, there were young people who accidentally entered ruins and obtained ancient cultivation methods, thinking that they would be invincible in the future, but they didn't know that because the cultivation method was too ancient, it was imperfect, and the path was completely cut off at the Elemental Infant stage.
The cultivation method had gone through countless generations and caused the deaths of many people before it formed a complete path from Qi Refinement to becoming an immortal.
The Immortal Fairy was knowledgeable and easily shared many pieces of knowledge that no one knew nowadays.
The mayor stared at the two of them, and as someone who had cultivated to the Unity stage, he was naturally not foolish. After falling into the trap, he immediately understood the calculations of the two of them.
But it was too late.
In the end, the "Immortal Rule" was no match for the "Mortal Rule," and the mayor's body disappeared.
The result was the same as what the two of them had estimated. Bu Yu Taoist had said from the beginning that the rules couldn't be too outrageous, such as having rules like "absolutely invincible" or "absolutely immortal."
The mayor's "cannot die" rule couldn't be too absolute.
"Death? This seat is the True Immortal Faxe, indestructible through ten thousand tribulations, the true soul cannot be destroyed. How could I perish here!" A black soul leaped out of the mayor's body, looking slightly different from the mayor.
The mayor was the target of possession by the True Immortal Faxe, not his true body.
According to reason, the mayor's physical body was already dead, and Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had already passed the level. But the True Immortal Faxe couldn't bear this humiliation. As a powerful Unity stage cultivator who had lived for thousands of years and had calculated countless opponents, he was deceived by two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the end.
He couldn't bear it!
Even if he violated the rules today and risked damage to his soul, he had to kill these two brats.
"Hmm, you have the Sword Spiritual Root?" Without the limitations of a physical body, the True Immortal Faxe was more sensitive. He sensed that these two individuals had the Single Dog Spiritual Root and the Sword Spiritual Root, both of which were top-tier aptitudes, hundreds of times stronger than the mayor.
The Sword Spiritual Root was the most powerful in attack. If he had a body with the Sword Spiritual Root, coupled with his "Faxe's Secret Method," he would definitely surpass his original self and have the possibility of breaking through to the Elemental Infant stage!
And his "Faxe's Secret Method" could reverse the Unity stage and attack Immortal cultivators. It was an invincible existence. Even if a great calamity arrived, who could do anything to him?"It seems that this is the opportunity given to me by the heavens!" The True Immortal laughed heartily, unable to believe the enormous gain he had stumbled upon. It was like finding another village when the willows were dark and the flowers were bright.
He regarded Lu Yang's body as something in his bag. What kind of waves could a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator make in front of a Unity stage one?
He transformed into a cloud of gray mist, entered Lu Yang's spiritual space, and prepared to seize Lu Yang's body.
Lu Yang looked at the True Immortal in disbelief, his face full of horror. "You, as a Unity stage cultivator, don't even abide by your own rules, and you want to seize my body?!"
The True Immortal sneered, looking at Lu Yang with disdain. He was just a child, unable to see the true nature of the world. "Let me tell you a truth before you die, so you can die with peace of mind."
"Whoever is stronger is right. This is an unchanging truth. When you are not qualified to provoke a Unity stage cultivator, you should keep your tail between your legs and behave!"
Lu Yang sighed, "It would be so much better if everyone followed the rules and competed based on their abilities. Since you don't want to play by the rules, don't blame me for flipping the table."
He stepped aside, revealing the person behind him, and gestured invitingly, "Fairy, it's up to you now."
Then, the True Immortal saw the Immortal Fairy sitting with her legs crossed.
The Immortal Fairy looked at the True Immortal with a faint smile on her lips, a mix of mockery and disdain. "Young man, you're quite bold to talk about body seizing in front of this fairy."
"Huh?"
The True Immortal was full of question marks. Why were there two people in the spiritual world? And why did the other person refer to herself as a fairy?
For no apparent reason, he had a feeling of impending disaster.
