The senior sister recounted what she had seen in the secret chamber, which greatly infuriated the Immortal Fairy.

“Which bastard dares to impersonate me? Don’t they know that I was an invincible warrior in the ancient times, and everyone had to avoid me when they saw me?”

The Immortal Fairy had the right to be arrogant. After all, she had defeated a cultivator who could make his words become reality, which made her invincible among her peers.

“I feel a familiar aura from the sect leader. Could it be from the person who impersonated me?”

The more the Immortal Fairy thought about it, the angrier she became. She clamored to confront the Immortal, to reveal his true face!

Yun Zhi stopped the Immortal Fairy: “Senior, don’t be hasty. The one who claims to be the Immortal can freely appear in the statues. The statues of the Immortal are scattered all over the continent. If he escapes, it will be difficult to catch him later.”

“So you mean…”

“When the sect leader was talking with the Immortal, he mentioned a selection process. On the surface, it’s to select talents, but in reality, it’s to choose a body for the Immortal to possess. As long as we make Lu Yang the target of possession, the Immortal will walk into the trap himself, and he won’t be able to escape then.”

The Immortal Fairy suddenly realized: “You little girl, you have quite a plan!”

“Hmm?” Yun Zhi raised her eyebrows.

Seeing that the eccentric fairy was about to annoy the senior sister, Lu Yang quickly escaped.

The senior sister wouldn’t care about the way she was addressed when her soul was out of her body, but now that her soul was intact, it was a different story.

Fairy, you’d better pray for yourself.

“But what exactly is the situation with the Immortal?”

Lu Yang didn’t expect there to be a real Immortal. Was the fifth Immortal of the ancient times the Immortal or the Immortal Fairy?

From an emotional perspective, Lu Yang leaned towards the latter. From a prestige perspective, Lu Yang leaned towards the former.

“Or was there a sixth Immortal in ancient times?”

Lu Yang opened his eyes, detached from his cultivation state, and felt his current realm.

“I should be at the peak of the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, only half a step away from the half-step late stage of Foundation Establishment.”

“What are you doing here?” Meng Jingzhou teased from the side, also detaching from his cultivation state.

Man Gu pondered: “Is the detailed division of realms one of the reasons for Brother Lu’s strength?”

Meng Jingzhou quickly stopped Man Gu: “Don’t think nonsense, Lu Yang is crazy, you can’t follow him.”

“You three, get ready for the drill!” A disciple at the door reminded the three.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were confused. Drill? What drill?

The loudspeakers placed everywhere sounded: “Attention everyone, the righteous path is about to attack, attention everyone, the righteous path is about to attack!”

There were also disciples who were playing along, screaming: “The righteous path is here, we’re doomed!”

“Run quickly!”

“We’d rather die than surrender!”

“Fight with them!”

“Hahaha, you dogs of the righteous path, don’t think you can catch me!”

“May the Immortal bless us!”

Then there were sounds of frantic running.

Lu Yang: “…You guys are really into it.”

Lu Yang briefly explained the drill to Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu, and they finally understood what was happening.

The three quickly fled the room, shouting as they ran: “It’s bad, the Great Xia Dynasty and the people from the Five Immortal Sects have broken in!”

The people in front of them glared at the three: “Stop shouting nonsense, if the people from the Great Xia Dynasty and the Five Immortal Sects really come, we’ll have to change it to a surrender drill!”

It was clear that the Immortal Sect had a detailed classification of drills.

On the way to escape, Lu Yang saw disciples packing their things efficiently into storage rings. Their practiced movements were heartbreaking.

Some people were crying loudly, saying they would live or die with the headquarters.

Some people took advantage of the chaos to steal things, making a fortune.

“Hey, what are you doing!” A disciple spotted a thief.

The man didn’t look back and said: “It’s a drill, the more realistic the better, these are all possible scenarios!”

“Catch the thief!”

The Immortal Sect was in chaos, and the drill was extremely realistic.

Lu Yang and the others left with the disciples and headed for an exit.

After leaving the exit, they traveled an unknown distance and arrived at a completely unfamiliar place.

The person responsible for covering their retreat was Vice Sect Leader Jin. He destroyed the exit, eliminated the cause and effect, and prevented the righteous path from finding them. His actions were smooth and practiced, clearly the result of frequent drills.

The disciples clapped their hands, happy about the successful conclusion of the drill.

Only Man Gu had a question:

“How are we supposed to get back?”

The place suddenly fell silent.

Yes, in previous drills, they didn’t cut off the passage. Why did they do it this time?

With the passage cut off and the cause and effect eliminated, how could they return the same way? There was no door!

Vice Sect Leader Jin was a bit embarrassed. He had gotten too into the drill and had acted as if the righteous path was really coming.

But as the Vice Sect Leader, he quickly found a solution.

“Everyone, don’t panic. I have a flying boat in my storage ring that can accommodate us all. We can fly back.”

There were many experts in the headquarters. Apart from Lu Yang and a few others, everyone could fly.

However, a large group of cultivators flying in the sky would easily attract the attention of the Great Xia Dynasty. If a few officers from the dynasty came to investigate, they would ask them to stop, show their identification, and then, lo and behold, they would find that they were all big shots on the wanted list, all sentenced to life imprisonment at the very least.

That would be a real joke.

It would be better to take the flying boat, disguised as low-level cultivators renting a boat for a trip. This was a common occurrence and wouldn’t attract attention.

The deputy leader Jin took out a somewhat old flying boat from his storage ring. This was intentional, as this style wouldn’t attract official attention.

Everyone was experienced and understood the deputy leader Jin’s idea. They all sat on the flying boat, suppressing their cultivation levels. To the outside world, they all appeared to be in the Qi Refining stage, while Lu Yang and the other two at the Foundation Establishment stage seemed to have the highest cultivation levels.

Deputy leader Jin comforted everyone on the flying boat: “Actually, there’s no big problem. According to the speed of the flying boat, by the time we return, the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining geniuses from the branch sects should have almost arrived. The timing will be just right.”

…

The flying boat was flying leisurely in the sky, completely unaware that danger was approaching.

Not far from the flying boat, three mysterious men in grey robes were hovering.

“How about this flying boat?”

“It’s not from the Luodi Money Merchant Association or other big merchant associations. It looks quite old, probably rented.”

“There are quite a few people, but their cultivation levels aren’t impressive, just three at the Foundation Establishment stage. We might as well rob them, who knows who might be hiding something valuable.”

“Shall we do it?”

“Do it!”

The three men in grey robes turned into streaks of light, quickly approaching the flying boat, forming a formation to trap the boat.

“Don’t move, this is a robbery!” One of them, with a fierce look and two scars on his face, was clearly a desperate criminal.

“I suppose you’ve heard of our notorious reputation, the Hu Brothers. As long as you hand over your valuables obediently, we promise not to kill!” Another one extended his long tongue, licking his sharp knife, somewhat perverted.

“If you don’t hand them over, don’t blame us for being ruthless!” The third one let out eerie cries, like the wailing of a ghost, extremely creepy.

“Don’t think we won’t kill. We’ve killed more people than you’ve ever seen!”

They released a terrifying aura, intimidating everyone.

These three were actually at the early stage of the Elemental Infant!

Generally speaking, as long as they released their aura, the other party would give up resistance, hand over their valuables, and beg for their lives.

Whether they would spare them or not depended on their mood.

Then the Hu Brothers saw that the passengers on the flying boat didn’t look scared at all. Instead, they all showed strange smiles.

One by one, the passengers released their auras: Elemental Infant stage, Deity Transformation stage, Void Refinement stage…

The Hu Brothers felt an aura beyond their comprehension, swallowing hard.

It seemed they had messed up.

Deputy leader Jin stood up and asked leisurely, “I heard you’ve killed more people than we’ve ever seen?”
