225: The great demon, Xun Nanleng.

Lu Yuchen looked at the little loli Heavenly Dao in front of him, feeling utterly speechless.

“I say, you, the Heavenly Dao of an entire world, can’t even handle a few small-time smugglers, and you still have the nerve to ask me for help?”

His words were quite blunt.

The little loli Heavenly Dao’s face stiffened at his words.

“What do you know!”

She argued forcefully, “There are rules in the war between two realms! The Heavenly Dao’s will cannot personally intervene! Otherwise, it will lead to unpredictable Karma backlash!”

“To put it bluntly, you want to be a referee, but also want to play in the game, afraid of getting a red card, right?” Lu Yuchen curled his lip, hitting the nail on the head.

Little loli Heavenly Dao: “…”

She felt like she was about to dissipate on the spot, angered by this man.

“Alright, alright.” Lu Yuchen waved his hand, too lazy to argue with her about such useless things.

“I can help.”

He held up two fingers, a very “kind” smile appearing on his face.

“But I can’t do it for free, can I?”

“What is this called? This is an appearance fee! A hard work fee! A mental damage fee!”

“I’ve helped you solve your troubles, so you should give me some benefits, right? Otherwise, why should I help you?”

These words were spoken with righteous indignation, utterly shameless.

The little loli Heavenly Dao watched his mercenary demeanor, her eye twitching uncontrollably.

She had lived for so long, yet this was the first time she had ever seen such a shameless person!

“What do you want?” She squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

“Simple.” Lu Yuchen grinned, “From now on, when my Tai Xuan Immortal Sect’s Disciples travel in this world, you have to give them a green light, right? For example, priority in discovering Heaven And Earth Treasures? Priority in entering Secret Realms with fortuitous encounters?”

“Also, I hate trouble the most. In the future, don’t come to me for every trivial matter. Unless the sky falls, it’s out of the question.”

“The most important point!” He paused, a very playful smile appearing on his face, “I helped you kill those invaders, doesn’t this count as a great service to this world?”

“Logically speaking, shouldn’t there be some… Karma?”

Karma!

As these two words came out, the little loli Heavenly Dao’s pupils suddenly contracted!

She looked at Lu Yuchen in horror, and for the first time, an expression of incredible shock appeared on her usually calm little face!

He… how could he know?!

Such secrets, involving the Origin operation of Heaven and Earth, even those so-called Martial Saints and Martial Gods in this world might not know!

“You… who exactly are you?!”

“Just an ordinary Cultivator.” Lu Yuchen waved his hand, looking profound, as if saying, “Don’t ask, I won’t tell you even if you do.”

The little loli Heavenly Dao fell silent.

After a long while, she slowly nodded.

“Alright.”

“As long as you can deal with those invaders, all the conditions you mentioned, I can agree to them.”

“Deal.”

…

The next day.

Lu Yuchen summoned his six Personal Disciples within the Sect—Lin Fan, Xiao Huohuo, Ling Ke'er, Nanny, Li Huowang, and Chen Ping'an—to the Sect Master’s main hall.

He briefly and concisely explained the matter of the otherworldly invasion.

Of course, he exaggerated, describing the so-called “Prodigies of the Manling World” as green-faced, fanged, and unblinking extraterrestrial demons who killed without batting an eye.

Nanny was filled with righteous indignation upon hearing this, immediately wanting to go down the mountain and twist off the heads of those bad guys to kick around like balls.

“Alright.”

Lu Yuchen looked at these excited Disciples, nodding in satisfaction.

“This time, it will be a test of your cultivation achievements during this period.”

“Go.”

“Let those otherworldly scoundrels see the prestige of my Tai Xuan Immortal Sect!”

“Yes! Revered Master!”

The six responded in unison, their eyes burning with intense Battle Intent.

…

After all his Disciples had gone down the mountain, Lu Yuchen once again lay back on his familiar Grand Tutor’s chair, crossing his legs.

Fighting?

What a joke.

With Disciples to do the work, he, as the Master, just had to lie back and watch the show.

This was the self-cultivation of a hands-off boss.

However, just in case, he still needed a backup plan.

He closed his eyes, and a wisp of his Divine Soul silently left his body, crossing endless space and directly descending upon the distant Western Regions, to the Great Thunderclap Temple, which had barely recovered one-hundred-millionth of its former glory.

Inside the main hall, from the statue of Fahai, a golden light shot out from within the statue, directly entering the mind of Xuanzang, who was cultivating diligently in the back mountain.

“Foolish child, a great calamity is approaching, and extraterrestrial demons are invading. You must take it upon yourself to save all sentient beings. Quickly descend the mountain, slay demons and devils, and defend the Righteous Path of my Buddhist Sect!”

That grand, majestic voice boomed deep within Xuanzang’s Divine Soul.

Xuanzang’s body trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes, a terrifying glint erupting from his clear pupils!

“Disciple… obeys Revered Master’s decree!”

“But speaking of which, how did you come back to life again…?”

…

Having completed all this, Lu Yuchen finally felt completely at ease.

Bored, he summoned his System panel and began to inventory his current assets.

Host: Lu Yuchen

Cultivation: Soul Transformation Stage Ninth Layer (Bottleneck)

Physique: Hongmeng Chaos Body

Cultivation Technique: “Chaos Scripture,” “Heavenly Emperor Scripture,” “Great Sun Tathagata True Scripture,” “Demon Devouring Great Law,” “Nine Heavens Profound Scripture”… (abbreviated)

Divine Ability: “Six Paths Reincarnation Fist,” “Palm Control of Five Thunders,” “Myriad Transformations Saint Art,” “One Qi Transforms Three Purities,” “One Leaf Slashes Stars,” “Great Strength Heavenly Dragon Suppressing Hell Divine Incantation”… (abbreviated)

Disciples: Lin Fan, Lu Nuannuan, Ling Ke'er, Xiao Huohuo, Li Huowang, Chen Ping'an, Ying Ziliang, Xuanzang, Lin Ying, Xun Nanleng… (a number of registered and Outer Sect Disciples)

“Tsk tsk, what a huge family and business.”

Lu Yuchen looked at the luxurious panel, feeling incredibly comfortable.

Just as he was about to close the panel and get some more sleep.

His gaze suddenly froze!

It was fixed intently on a very inconspicuous name in the long list of Disciples.

Xun Nanleng!

That Demonic Path Disciple whom he had left to “fend for himself” outside, and had almost completely forgotten about!

Name: Xun Nanleng

Cultivation: Golden Core Stage First Layer

Status: Demonic Heart has formed, excessive killing, has entered the Demonic Path.

Golden Core?!

When did this kid reach Golden Core?!

Lu Yuchen’s mind went “buzz” and instantly went blank!

He remembered very clearly that when he first took this kid in, he was just a powerless Mortal!

How much time had passed since then?

He had actually reached Golden Core?!

This cultivation speed was even more outrageous than that kid Xiao Huohuo!

“System! Check for me! What exactly did this kid do?!”

“Ding! Searching for Host…”

“Search successful!”

The next moment, a bloody scene filled with endless resentment appeared in Lu Yuchen’s mind.

The Great Jin Dynasty, Haiyuan Sect.

Nearly a thousand people in the entire Sect, regardless of gender, age, or youth, had all died tragically!

Their bodies were shriveled and withered, as if all their vital blood had been sucked dry!

And amidst that mountain of corpses and sea of blood, a young man dressed in black robes, with a handsome face and a sinister, cold smile on his lips, slowly withdrew his blood-stained hand.

It was… Xun Nanleng!

He had actually, by himself, annihilated a top Sect that had been passed down for nearly a thousand years!

Proving the Dao through slaughter!

Using blood as a guide!

What a… great demon!
