254: The strong man from the Central Region! The scapegoat!

As they fought, the two gradually battled their way into the Void Space.

The Void Space was a third party space drifting between the Living Realm and the Netherworld; it was completely void, yet immensely vast!

Even for experts surpassing the Yang Shi Realm, if they were to get lost in the Void Space, unless they were extremely lucky, they would never be able to escape in their entire lifetime!

Just as the two had one foot inside the Void Space, their expressions suddenly changed drastically, as if they had sensed something.

The two, who were in the middle of a magical battle, quickly ceased hostilities and exchanged a glance. One of them said solemnly:

"Did you sense it? What is that?"

The other person also quickly said:

"You felt it too?"

"If I am not mistaken, that aura is likely Immortal Qi!"

"Immortal Qi? Could it be that the object fought over by the two peerless experts in the Eastern Region has reappeared in the world?"

"Let us go, let us check it out first. We can continue our sparring match after we investigate clearly!"

...

After Lu Hao killed these people, he was not saddened by the death of Dugu Litian; instead, his expression was incredibly calm.

He slowly walked to the place where Dugu Litian had dissipated and retrieved a doll-like object from his Storage Pouch.

A Substitute Death Doll!

The Substitute Death Doll in Lu Hao's hand suddenly cracked, the fissures spreading across its entire body, before it completely shattered and turned into a golden brilliance in his hand.

Before Lu Hao's eyes, a drop of life essence suddenly emerged slowly from the golden brilliance, gradually outlining the appearance of Dugu Litian.

As that blurry figure appeared, it began to continuously absorb the brilliance that the Substitute Death Doll had turned into.

As time passed, Dugu Litian's figure became increasingly vivid. He opened his eyes, looked at the surrounding world, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

He muttered to himself:

"Is this the world after death? Why is it so similar to the world before I died? Master?! Why is Master here?"

"Could it be that Master has died too?! No, do not!"

Lu Hao shook his head speechlessly, reached out and slapped Dugu Litian on the head, and said irritably:

"Are you so eager to die? And you want to drag me down with you?"

As soon as Lu Hao's voice rang out, Dugu Litian's body shuddered violently, and an expression of extreme disbelief instantly bloomed in his eyes!

He seemed to have realized something, stretched out his right hand, and gave himself a hard slap!

"Slap!"

It hurt!

"I am not dead! I am actually not dead!"

Dugu Litian was incredibly excited; he knelt on both knees, kowtowing while shouting loudly:

"Master! Master, I am not dead! Thank you, Master, for saving my life!"

This was something Lu Hao had planned before he made his move. Back then, he had taken the life essence of those bound to his System to help them refine some Substitute Death Dolls.

Once they died, they would be resurrected in the same spot after a short while. Of course, this thing was not invincible.

If the enemy waited for you to resurrect and then continued to kill you, repeating this process, there would eventually come a moment when you truly died.

Lu Hao naturally had absolute certainty that he could kill the two, which was why he dared to strike.

However, don't look at the fact that he could kill two people in one strike; if you asked him to save Dugu Litian from the hands of Xuan Hongxue, he really could not do it...

He was able to kill people mainly by relying on the power of his Magic Treasure; he himself could not control it perfectly.

Lu Hao looked at Dugu Litian kneeling on the ground and said with a smile:

"Get up. Why are you and I, master and disciple, being so polite? Tell me, why exactly did you come to my Danling State this time? Did I not say that I would return on my own?"

Hearing Lu Hao's words, Dugu Litian stood up and said respectfully:

"Master, a group of Cultivators came to the Northern Wasteland State more than two years ago..."

Dugu Litian told Lu Hao everything that had happened. Lu Hao listened quietly, his brows already furrowed.

Someone was searching for something in the Northern Wasteland State, and they even sought out Ye Qingyin?

If this matter were true, it was highly likely to be the Mo Lin Sect!

However, Lu Hao was not panicked. As his base, the Qingxuan Sect was not so easily breached, and he still had many contingency plans.

Therefore, Lu Hao patted Dugu Litian on the shoulder and said:

"Litian, you have worked hard on this journey. You do not need to worry; I am already aware of all this. For this period, just stay with me peacefully. Once I refine this Tai Xu Nirvana Pill, I will go back and take a look."

"Yes! Master!"

Since Master already knew, the stone in his heart finally landed...

After Lu Hao finished dealing with Dugu Litian's affairs, he walked in front of the nearly one hundred Nascent Void experts of Danling State, and with a pale face, smiled and cupped his hands to the crowd, saying:

"I am grateful to everyone for cheering and supporting me!"

As he spoke, a Dragon and a cow slowly landed by Lu Hao's side, staying quietly beside him.

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiang took half a step out from the crowd, also cupped his hands, and said slowly:

"Senior Lu's words truly make us feel ashamed. Those two were nothing but clowns before you. In reality, we truly did not help Little friend Lu at all..."

"Haha, I, Lu Hao, have always been one to repay kindness. You helped me, so I will help you once in return!"

"I will permanently remove the threat to the Origin of Danling State for you all!"

At this very moment, when Lu Hao spoke of permanently removing the threat to the Origin of Danling State, not a single person present doubted him!

The hundred or so people had all seen Lu Hao's true strength, and their confidence in Lu Hao was even stronger than his own!

Lu Hao waved his hand, took out the Nine-Rank Pill that he had almost finished refining previously, and began the final step.

Everyone stared unblinkingly at the Medicinal Pill in Lu Hao's hand. This was a Nine-Rank Pill! A Medicinal Pill that only appeared in legends!

Lu Hao sat cross-legged, and a furnace appeared once again in the Void Realm.

Because he had already deduced the method for the final step, Lu Hao only spent half an hour to finish refining the Medicinal Pill!

Nine-Rank, the pill is formed!

However, no Lightning Tribulation descended, and there was no earth-shattering commotion.

Suddenly, wisps of white brilliance emerged from the land of Danling State, swirling like starlight around Lu Hao's body.

After circling for a while, all of it was absorbed by Lu Hao.

As Lu Hao expected, he had completed the final step and indeed received a portion of the reward from the Dao of Alchemy Origin!

With this, his confidence in successfully refining the Tai Xu Nirvana Pill was even greater.

Lu Hao pondered slightly and said to Guo Yongsi:

"I will gift this Medicinal Pill to the six Seniors. After all, it was something you all risked your lives to refine previously; I merely picked up a bargain."

"As for how to distribute it, let Senior Guo handle it. I am an outsider, so I will not interfere in this matter."
