393: Chapter 393 Put on a good show!
"What a brilliant scheme, truly a brilliant scheme. They've even researched the psychology of the target for a honey trap so thoroughly."
Lu Yuan stood up and flicked his large sleeves. With a boom, he withdrew the layers of Restrictions surrounding the secret chamber, which were strong enough to block the Divine Sense of even a Golden Immortal.
"What a pity. As the director, I have already read the script you so meticulously wrote, word for word.
Want to play dirty? Then today, I will teach you what it means to turn the tables, and what it means to swindle you out of even your underwear!"
Lu Yuan walked outside the secret chamber and instructed the trusted Elder waiting outside, "Someone, go call Lier to the main hall and tell him there is a big deal for him to handle."
A moment later, inside the main hall of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
"Father! You were looking for me?"
Accompanied by light, quick footsteps, Lu Li, dressed in green robes, ran into the main hall with high spirits and an excited Face.
Although he was not very old, his figure was tall and straight. Between his brows, he carried thirty percent of Lu Yuan's domineering aura and seventy percent of Gu Qingxue's handsomeness, making him an elegant Young Master who could definitely mesmerize thousands of female cultivators.
"Is there some fun mission you want me to handle? I spend every day on the mountain sparring with those guards who are like wooden stakes; my bones are almost rusting!" Lu Li dashed a few steps to stand in front of Lu Yuan, rubbing his hands in anticipation.
Although his current cultivation level was strictly suppressed and hidden under the guise of a Peak Void Immortal due to Lu Yuan's strict orders.
Under the crazy accumulation of various top-tier resources from Lu Yuan and the day-and-night reinforcement of that Heaven-Defying divine art, the potential of his Innate Chaos Body had been developed to the extreme.
His true combat power could already easily crush those ordinary Early Stage Profound Immortal old monsters of Daluo Heaven as if they were pinching a small chick.
"There is indeed a mission, and it is definitely fun and exciting. I guarantee it will satisfy you."
Lu Yuan smiled and beckoned his son to sit at the jade table opposite him.
Afterwards, he picked up a teacup to moisten his throat and, without hiding anything, told him everything: the appearance of the Yuding Secret Realm he had just learned about through the System, the ten golden soul pills that made people crazy, and the two Immortal Sects' self-righteous, elaborate schemes targeting Lu Li.
"What? Those old immortals actually want to set a trap for me?"
After hearing his father's account, Lu Li's originally excited Face instantly turned red, and a flame of anger erupted in his eyes.
He slammed the jade table and stood up angrily, "They want to use me as a hostage to threaten Father? This bunch of shameless rats! What's even more ridiculous is that they actually sent some bullshit 'Number One Beauty of Daluo Heaven' to deceive me? Using a honey trap on me? Do they really think I, Lu Li, am still a three-year-old child who hasn't seen the world?"
Lu Li curled his lips in disdain. Just kidding, he grew up surrounded by stunning mothers like Gu Qingxue, Fairy Shuiyue, and Yaochi Holy Mother; he had long been immune to beauties.
What kind of beauty could compare to the Elders in his family? Trying to seduce him with beauty? That is simply showing off before an expert!
"Therefore, the reason Father called you here this time is to entrust you with a glorious yet arduous task."
Lu Yuan looked at his angry son, a trace of a smile flashing in his eyes. He reached out and pressed his shoulder to make him sit back down, saying earnestly:
"Since those two super Immortal Sects have spent so much manpower and material resources, and gone to such great lengths to set up such a big stage, just to put on a good show for us.
As the invited protagonists and audience, how can we not give them Face, and how can we not cooperate with their performance?"
How clever Lu Li was. His eyes rolled around, and he immediately grasped the hidden meaning in his father's words.
The anger at the corners of his mouth instantly vanished, replaced by a wicked smile, identical to Lu Yuan's, full of schemes and mischief.
"Father's meaning is... we turn the tables? And play along with them?"
"Smart."
Lu Yuan nodded in approval, his fingers tapping gently on the table as he began to lay out his "Counter-Kill Plan."
"Tomorrow at noon, you will go alone, single-handedly, with the most high-profile and arrogant attitude, to the entrance of the Yuding Secret Realm north of the Taixuan Mountain Range.
Remember, you must let everyone see that you went."
"After entering the Secret Realm, if you encounter that Hua Yunfei from the Taiyi Immortal Sect leading people to hunt you down.
Remember, do not be in a hurry to kill them as soon as you meet.
You must first play with him properly, pretending that you are no match for their superior numbers, retreating step by step, and displaying panic and despair.
You must make him feel that although you are a Genius, you are young and lack experience, and everything is under the perfect control of this peerless Prodigy."
"As for that Fairy Linglong from the Taixuan Immortal Sect..." Lu Yuan chuckled when he said this: "Since she likes acting so much and wants to play the tear-jerker drama of a beauty saving the hero.
Then you should go with the flow, pretend to be moved by her desperate rescue in a hopeless situation, act as if you are naive and newly in love, completely fall for her honey trap, and follow her every word."
Lu Yuan patted his son's shoulder, his gaze becoming deep and cold, and he instructed meaningfully:
"This Yuding Secret Realm is the place where a Golden Immortal passed away. Inside, it must be filled with Restrictions, hidden dangers, and countless powerful defensive Formations.
Since you have these two self-proclaimed clever peerless Prodigies in front of you to scout the path, block disasters, and crack those dangerous Restrictions for free, how much effort can you save? Such free, Advanced labor should not be wasted."
"Father has only one requirement for you: not only must you bring back those ten crucial golden soul pills, every single one of them, undamaged.
You must also uproot and empty out the entire lifelong Alchemy Legacy left by the Yuding Golden Immortal, as well as his medicine garden which might grow countless extinct Immortal Plants! Do not leave them even a single leaf or a handful of spiritual soil!"
"Finally, when they think their scheme has succeeded, are overjoyed thinking they have completely controlled you, and are at their most relaxed and smug moment."
Lu Yuan's eyes instantly became as sharp as a blade: "Then tear off the mask and give them a surprise they will never forget for the rest of their lives, sending them straight to Hell. Do you understand?"
Listening to his father's arrangement, which could be called a "dead-end scheme," Lu Li felt his blood boiling. His eyes shone with excitement, like a little fox that had spotted its prey.
"Father, don't worry! I will definitely study my acting skills well and accompany them to perform this great show!"
Lu Li patted his chest and swore, "I guarantee I will scrape that so-called Yuding Secret Realm clean, not even leaving them a single blue brick from the floor!"
"Good lad, go prepare and adjust your state well. Father will be outside the Secret Realm, waiting to see this great show you direct."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.
