335: Martial Saint Cave

Dongfang Yuqing walked into the Immortal Cave and flew towards Wang Xiaole.

Wang Xiaole wiped the tears from his face and choked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Dongfang Yuqing bent down to look at Wang Xiaole and smiled, "My name is Dongfang Yuqing. Kid, your talent is not bad. Do you want to take me as your Master? I can teach you to control the evil-attribute Battle Qi in your body and help you become a top-tier expert on the Tianyuan Continent."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaole was slightly stunned, then timidly said, "Can I eat my fill if I follow you?"

Dongfang Yuqing nodded slightly and smiled, "Of course!"

Wang Xiaole continued, "Will I still kill people after that?"

Dongfang Yuqing chuckled, "Absolutely not!"

It wasn't until Dongfang Yuqing flew away with Wang Xiaole that Lu Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto the ground.

This time, he had lost.

Since his Transmigration to the Tianyuan Continent, with the help of the System, Lu Xingchen had been invincible. No matter how strong his enemies were, he had never failed.

But now, he had been defeated by Dongfang Yuqing.

There was nothing he could do; this Dongfang Yuqing was simply too strong. A Five-Star Martial Venerable, Spirit Realm Great Perfection, an evil god sword, and the Evil Soul Transformation—the trump cards in his hand were no less than his own.

What impressed him most was the so-called "Evil Soul Transformation." The power amplification was truly terrifying, even stronger than his own "Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit."

Needless to say, this must be a secret technique unique to the Evil Soul Sect, usable only by Evil Attribute Martial Artists.

The battle today sounded an alarm for Lu Xingchen.

Even with the System, he was not invincible.

Other Prodigies on the Tianyuan Continent also had fortuitous encounters no weaker than his, and no fewer trump cards. When facing them, he must be cautious.

Lu Xingchen had no time to rest and immediately unfurled his Dou Qi Wings, flying towards Wang Family Village.

Zuoqiu Qingluo was still waiting for him there; he needed to quickly report his safety.

An hour later, as Lu Xingchen had just flown to the entrance of Wang Family Village, he saw Zuoqiu Qingluo eagerly looking up in the air.

Seeing Lu Xingchen's disheveled appearance, Zuoqiu Qingluo was also startled.

"Did you fight with the Evil Soul Sect's envoy? Did you win or lose?"

"Most likely won, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to come back alive. It's just a pity about that child Wang Xiaole. He didn't do anything wrong, but he was killed by you."

Lu Xingchen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I didn't win. I met the Holy Son of the Evil Soul Sect. He defeated me, and Wang Xiaole was taken away by him."

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Qingluo was greatly shocked.

"What? The Holy Son of the Evil Soul Sect? Lu Dazhuang, your luck is really too bad. You met the Saint on your first encounter with the Evil Soul Sect!"

Lu Xingchen gave a bitter smile, "Who says it isn't?"

Zuoqiu Qingluo's eyes were full of curiosity.

"What's the name of that Holy Son of the Evil Soul Sect? How strong is he?"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Dongfang Yuqing, a Five-Star Martial Venerable, Spirit Realm Great Perfection, with a heavenly tier high grade Spiritual Artifact, the evil god sword. After performing Evil Soul Transformation, his Dou Qi intensity is comparable to a Nine-Star Martial Venerable. He's simply too abnormal; I really couldn't beat him!"

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Qingluo was also greatly surprised.

"Damn, that powerful? I'm afraid even Peng Yu isn't his match, right? As for the other six of the eight prodigies of the central province, whether they can beat him is hard to say, as we don't meet often."

"However, the fact that you know so much about him means you forced out all his trump cards. Lu Dazhuang, your strength is also not simple!"

Lu Xingchen smiled bitterly, "Compared to Dongfang Yuqing, I'm still far behind. Alright, let's go back!"

"I need to continue to Cultivate quickly. I hope next time I run into Dongfang Yuqing, I won't be in such a sorry state."

Zuoqiu Qingluo nodded slightly and obediently said, "Okay, I'll go back with you!"

Before leaving Wang Family Village, Lu Xingchen greeted the soldiers from Wangshu City and informed them that the mission had failed and Wang Xiaole had been taken away.

These soldiers were all extremely shocked, and there was a hint of suspicion in their eyes as they looked at Lu Xingchen, but they dared not say much.

After all, he was from the Lingyun Sect.

And the Lingyun Sect was one of the most powerful Sects in the Western Zhongzhou.

Lu Xingchen and Zuoqiu Qingluo returned to the Lingyun Sect together.

He walked into his Immortal Cave, took a rejuvenation pill, and sat cross-legged on a futon in the Cultivation room to recover from his injuries.

With the help of the rejuvenation pill and Dragon Power, he recovered to his Peak state in just an hour.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded again outside the Immortal Cave.

Lu Xingchen opened the door, and Li Changbai was looking at him with a smile.

"Junior Brother, I told the Disciple guarding the Mountain Gate to watch your movements and report to me as soon as you returned. So I came here to find you. How was it? Did you successfully capture the murderer who massacred the village?"

Lu Xingchen smiled bitterly, "No, I didn't."

Hearing this, Li Changbai was startled.

"Senior Sister and Xu Qing are waiting for us in the meeting hall. Let's go there first, and you can explain slowly then."

In the large meeting hall, there were only four Personal Disciples. When Lu Xingchen explained the situation to his three Senior Brother and Senior Sister, all three were greatly surprised.

Liu Ruyan said in a deep voice, "This Dongfang Yuqing has already reached the Cultivation of a Five-Star Martial Venerable, and he is still so young; it's truly terrifying. Junior Brother, I don't blame you for the failure of this mission, as long as you can return safely, that's enough."

Li Changbai was also extremely shocked.

"The Evil Soul Sect has always been wanted by the Righteous Path Alliance and has avoided the world. We thought they were gradually declining, but we didn't expect them to have developed to such a powerful extent. Junior Brother, there wouldn't be a Martial Saint Expert in the Evil Soul Sect, would there?"

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "It's very possible, otherwise it would be difficult to Cultivate such a powerful existence as Dongfang Yuqing."

Lu Xingchen paused, then continued, "Second Senior Brother, is the Evil Soul Sect really evil? Why does Dongfang Yuqing not give me that impression?"

Li Changbai sighed softly.

"If what you say is true, the Evil Soul Sect might indeed have some unavoidable difficulties. But the outside world's perception is not something the four of us can change. The Evil Soul Sect is still on the Righteous Path Alliance's wanted list, and we must keep as much distance from them as possible."

"If we accidentally run into them, try not to conflict. After all, neither the Evil Soul Sect nor the Righteous Path Alliance are forces we can afford to offend."

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily and said softly, "I understand what Second Senior Brother means!"

Immediately, he looked at Liu Ruyan and said with a smile, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Senior Sister, you suddenly called me over; your original intention wasn't just to ask about the mission, was it? What else happened?"

Liu Ruyan chuckled, "You really are smart, kid. It's like this: a Martial Saint's Cave Mansion left by a Martial Saint Expert has appeared in the Wangshu Mountain Range. I want you three to go and explore it."
