Among the dark clouds, countless lightning dragons stretched out their heads, looking at Lu Changsheng!
They then dove towards Lu Changsheng!
Thunder roared!
It was like an apocalypse!
Lu Changsheng faced the dive of these numerous lightning dragons!
Lightning continuously struck around him, but unfortunately, it couldn't penetrate Lu Changsheng's spiritual energy defense.
Within ten miles around Lu Changsheng's body, it was like a pure land unaffected by the world, where no lightning could strike!
At that moment, the lightning dragons had reached Lu Changsheng's spiritual energy defense domain!
Boom!
The lightning dragons furiously poured down onto the barrier!
However, atop the barrier, they only created ripple after ripple.
But they could no longer advance.
Not even by an inch!
Lu Changsheng pointed his finger, and a beam of finger force directly pierced through a lightning dragon!
The lightning dragon turned into specks of lightning, instantly dissipating!
The face in the sky narrowed its eyes and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, I presume you too are trapped in this universe, aren't you? If Fellow Daoist stops obstructing us, we will help you leave this universe."
But Lu Changsheng countered, "Why should I leave?"
At Hidden Dao Academy, he could slack off, and someone else would cook for him.
In The Cottage, there were no intrigues or backstabbing.
Wasn't this a life free from stress?
So why should he leave this place and go somewhere else to suffer.
Is he stupid?
The face clearly didn't expect Lu Changsheng's reply and said fiercely, "Fellow Daoist, if you refuse to heed this warning, when we descend someday, even you might not be able to withstand us!"
Uh…
When the other party spoke like this, Lu Changsheng also couldn't help feeling a bit apprehensive. Could he really win if it came down to a fight?
But in order to keep his idyllic life of slacking off undisturbed,
Lu Changsheng had to pretend to be nonchalant and said, "Then next time, remember to bring more people."
Hmm.
That should bluff them, right?
The face looked deeply at Lu Changsheng, as if to imprint him into its memory.
"I will remember your words, Fellow Daoist. When next I set foot in this place, I'll bring more formidable beings to satisfy you."
With that, the face disappeared from the universe instantaneously.
And the barrier vanished as well!
Leaving Lu Changsheng standing there, looking dazed.
Did he… overstep?
No, no, what if they really bring a bunch of people and I can't defeat them?
I need to hurry back and prepare!
With that thought, Lu Changsheng disappeared from the spot.
Before long, he was back at The Cottage.
He walked back and forth on the cliffside, muttering, "The formation's all set, and cultivation can't be improved in a short time, so what else can I prepare?"
The willow tree beside him heard this and couldn't help but emanate a curious voice.
"What happened?"
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng recounted the incident.
Upon hearing this, the willow tree replied with a resilient voice.
"Aren't you being too cautious?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "To cautious? I'm just afraid my cultivation isn't enough to beat them! After all, I don't even know what level I've reached!"
Over the past few decades, he had consistently checked in, and the cultivation rewards had been calculated annually.
Who knows what realm he has reached!
The willow tree was somewhat speechless.
Even it couldn't fully discern Lu Changsheng's realm.
And if it couldn't see through it, how could anyone else in this universe pose a threat to Lu Changsheng?
Moreover, there was the Nine Netherworld Formation.
This was one of the top 10 ancient killing arrays!
And it was not from the ancient era of this low-dimensional universe but rather from a higher realm of existence!
Watching Lu Changsheng continue to worry, the willow tree didn't want to say more…
The little bird perched nearby, watching this scene, also felt somewhat speechless.
...
When Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying returned to The Cottage, preparing to pay a visit to Lu Changsheng,
they found their master muttering to himself by the cliffside.
"Should I run away?"
"No, that would require moving to another place, and other places may not be as comfortable as this one."
"Uh... Master, what happened?"
Ye Qiubai approached, scratching his head and asked, "What's troubling Master so much?"
Hong Ying also looked at Lu Changsheng with a curious face.
She, too, was eager to know what could stump the deeply inscrutable Lu Changsheng.
Seeing the two had arrived, Lu Changsheng was immediately overjoyed and quickly pushed them, saying, "Hurry, hurry, you two must go and cultivate!"
One is a Chaos Essence Sword Body.
The other is a Reincarnation Sacred Body.
Moreover, both of them had the aptitude to become an Emperor!
If he couldn't figure it out, why not have his two disciples cultivate to become Great Emperors?
Then he could slack off again, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng added another line, "Don't come out until you've cultivated to become a Great Emperor!"
Ye Qiubai: "..."
Hong Ying also helplessly rubbed her forehead.
It seemed like their master was completely unaware of his own strength!
Even she, serving as the Empress, had never seen those heaven-defying methods!
Judging just by the formations above The Cottage,
Even at her peak, she feared she might not be able to withstand them!
Afterward,
Xin Hongyi arrived at The Cottage, challenging Ye Qiubai to a sparring match.
Hong Ying continued to cultivate the Nine Cycles Reincarnation Technique to stabilize her realm.
Lu Changsheng thought to himself that he couldn't rely solely on his disciples!
He needed to cultivate, too!
But how should he cultivate?
There were no cultivation techniques.
He had never cultivated before...
Forget it, better to just sleep.
Relying on signing in every day to gain cultivation...
Since the Blood Prison Mystic Realm,
another two days had passed.
At this moment,
Jiang Jun had already returned to the Sunset Empire.
"Crown Prince, the mission has failed..."
The general, kneeling on one knee before a man dressed in brocade, said with an ugly expression, "We underestimated Ye Qiubai's strength, Shadow Kill, and my four Imperial Guards have all been killed."
Huang Tianming played with the canary in the cage, his expression unchanged upon hearing this.
"Uh-huh, understood, pass the news of the deaths of the three assassins from Shadow Kill on to them."
Shadow Kill.
Once they took on a mission, they would not stop until it was completed!
With three assassins dead this time, they would undoubtedly send more, stronger assassins to complete the task!
Huang Tianming said with a smile, "He's just a Southern Barbarian commoner; there's no need for us to go to such lengths ourselves, let Shadow Kill handle it."
Jiang Jun nodded, "Yes, I understand."
"Oh, and one more thing."
Huang Tianming's tone suddenly turned cold, "Since the mission failed, go to the Prison Forest to accept your punishment."
Prison Forest.
A place that made anyone from the Sunset Dynasty shudder with fear!
It was the place the dynasty used to punish criminals!
The methods were extremely cruel.
Even Jiang Jun, who was at the peak of the Water Overflow realm, trembled at the words!
However, he dared not disobey.
After all, the methods of Huang Tianming were even more terrifying in the dynasty than the Prison Forest...
Jiang Jun left.
Huang Tianming did not turn around, speaking softly, "Stop eavesdropping, Ye Qiubai is not dead yet."
A woman came out from behind, biting her lip without speaking.
Huang Tianming placed the birdcage on the stone table, turned around to look at Jiang Chan, and smiled, "Although he's not dead yet, it's only a matter of time, so don't do anything else out of line, otherwise..."
"Even if you are to be my future wife, the Empress of Sunset, I will not show mercy!"
