219: Overwhelm Xuanyuan Sect

The original owner had seen this Xuanyuan Sect!

When the original owner was about ten years old, he, an orphan, was ostracized by his classmates and had no playmates. But suddenly one day, a boy about his age appeared and played with him for half a day.

This child wore a Daoist robe, unlike anyone else around him.

What caught Lu Ze's attention even more was that, in his memory, this little Daoist priest gave the original owner a small Talisman when he left.

The runes on it, recalling them now, were not complicated. Lu Ze's current cultivation in Talisman Formations allowed him to immediately see what this item was for!

It was to borrow luck!

This little Daoist priest actually gave the original owner a Talisman for borrowing luck!

It was regrettable that the original owner still considered this little Daoist priest a good friend and kept that Talisman safe for many years.

But after that day, the original owner's luck became extremely poor, until Lu Ze transmigrated. Seeing that the Talisman was tattered and useless, he threw it away, and only then did his luck improve.

Lu Ze had even kept this person, who had appeared in the original owner's life for only an afternoon, in his heart.

Meeting him today, however, was not a reunion after a long separation, but a warning.

This kid had tricked the original owner the first time they met. Who knew what would happen today?

Moreover, listening to Xuanyuan Sect's words, it seemed he had deliberately acted to control Qu Hongxi, then guided Qu Hongqing to find him.

Xuanyuan Sect slowly stood up in everyone's eyes, dragging his frail body that seemed ready to collapse at any moment, and walked step by step towards Lu Ze, finally stopping in front of Lu Ze, extending his right hand, "Lu Ze, long time no see, won't you shake my hand?"

Lu Ze looked down, and his Spirit Eye immediately noticed a hidden rune in the palm of his hand.

The content was not complicated, but it was more profound than the one given to the original owner years ago.

This rune, surprisingly, still had the effect of borrowing luck!

Lu Ze sneered, extended his right hand, and firmly grasped Xuanyuan Sect's right hand.

"Buzz!"

A very low sound rang out in their palms.

A resentful smile flashed in Xuanyuan Sect's eyes, "Lu Ze, after all these years, you still haven't made any progress. The rune the little Daoist priest casually set up back then still affects you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ze suddenly exerted force, and the rune in his palm was actually crushed in that instant!

Xuanyuan Sect's smile froze. Before he could react, the power of Myriad Things Grow had rapidly entered Xuanyuan Sect's body from Lu Ze's body!

The power of Myriad Things Grow, seemingly guided by something, scattered and surged towards several important Acupoints in Xuanyuan Sect's body!

"Puff, puff, puff!"

Dull sounds rang out from various parts of Xuanyuan Sect's body. The Spiritual Qi in Xuanyuan Sect's body was suddenly dispersed, and the cage trapping Qu Hongxi disappeared in an instant!

"Brother!"

Qu Hongqing, crying, rushed to Qu Hongxi's side and carefully checked her brother's injuries. Seeing that he was not seriously hurt, her heart settled down considerably.

She turned to look at Lu Ze, muttered a thank you, and then retreated to the side with her brother.

There were also many people in the crowd who were on good terms with Qu Hongxi and knew some medical skills. Seeing that Qu Hongxi was safe, they stepped forward to treat him.

Fortunately, the external injuries were not serious, but the regression in his cultivation was beyond their ability to fix.

Xuanyuan Sect waved his hand, completely obliterating the power of Myriad Things Grow that was interfering within his body.

"Haha, it seems the little Daoist priest underestimated you. I didn't expect such powerful strength to be in your hands, Lu Ze. One should look at a scholar with new eyes after three days. You truly have opened the little Daoist priest's eyes. However, if it weren't for the little Daoist priest's unstable Dao Heart and neglected cultivation, you wouldn't have been able to use this power to rescue Qu Hongxi today."

Lu Ze was too lazy to listen to his bragging, and simply said, "Return Qu Hongxi's cultivation."

Xuanyuan Sect glanced at Qu Hongxi not far away, and slowly shook his head, "This Formation was designed by the little Daoist priest himself. The absorption of cultivation is irreversible. Even if the little Daoist priest wanted to return it to him, he couldn't."

Lu Ze raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

Xuanyuan Sect nodded, "Of course. Why would the little Daoist priest deceive you about such a thing? But don't worry, he can still cultivate normally, it's just that he might need to rest well for a while. Oh, and he probably won't be able to participate in the Rookie Competition."

Xuanyuan Sect's eyes were clear, and he spoke with ease, as if Qu Hongxi being tormented to such an extent had nothing to do with him.

Several people who were on good terms with Qu Hongxi looked at each other at this moment. They didn't dare to confront Xuanyuan Sect, but deep down, they felt injustice for Qu Hongxi.

Friendly sparring among peers was a common thing, but someone like Xuanyuan Sect, who acted against the rules in the final stage of a competition, would be despised by everyone.

However, since this person had abandoned himself, he no longer cared about the opinions of others. He would only use such underhanded tricks with more enthusiasm.

Lu Ze said, "Then, your sudden arrival here, is it to participate in the Rookie Competition?"

"Yes, although the quota was previously set for Xuan Yuan Daoxuan, since the little Daoist priest has arrived, those prior arrangements can naturally be abolished."

Xuan Yuan Daoxuan stood behind Xuanyuan Sect, her face visibly pale, and her eyes filled with clear dissatisfaction, but she dared not speak out.

Xuanyuan Sect had always been the strongest existence of their generation. If Xuanyuan Sect were to suddenly awaken from this moment on, all her previous plans would become nothing but a pipe dream.

The elders and Old Ancestors in the family still preferred this child who was born with an unusual phenomenon and had extraordinary comprehension of Daoist magic.

Even Xuanyuan Sect's name was different from theirs.

He was not named using the 'Dao' character for his generation; the character 'Zong' was placed above everyone in the 'Dao' generation!

This opportunity for the Rookie Competition was something Xuan Yuan Daoxuan had sought for a long time before it was confirmed. But today, Xuanyuan Sect arrived and, with a single sentence, snatched the spot away.

How could she not hate him?!

However, she could not speak out and deny Xuanyuan Sect's words.

Lu Ze also immediately noticed the resentful Xuan Yuan Daoxuan, and his heart already understood the irreconcilable conflict of interests between the two!

He shifted his gaze to Xuanyuan Sect, and chuckled softly.

"Since you are also here to participate in the Rookie Competition, and cannot return Qu Hongxi's cultivation, then it's simple."

Lu Ze drew his sword, stood with the sword in hand, and a surge of Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted, enveloping this entire area!

The Spiritual Might of a Fifth-grade cultivator instantly swept out, and everyone was suppressed by this Spiritual Might, feeling as if a great mountain had been placed upon them. Their faces were ashen, their legs trembled wildly, and they struggled to stand without kneeling!

Xuanyuan Sect was the primary target of the Spiritual Might's overwhelming pressure. His dark eyes were bloodshot, but he also tried hard to mobilize his cultivation, wanting not to fall.

Lu Ze's eyes narrowed.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

The Spiritual Might rose again. Xuanyuan Sect's cultivation was much weaker than Lu Ze's, and he could not withstand such Spiritual Might. In an instant, his knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground.
