Chapter 11 Lu Zhengming's Hypocritical Demeanor
Reading Settings
At this moment, Lu Zhengming suddenly spoke up, "But Mo Qianci's cultivation has been destroyed, and his dantian has also been ruined. So how did he manage to drug the Enforcement Elder?"
"How did he manage to make so many disciples outside faint?"
Upon hearing this, the elder of law enforcement sighed, "Alas, it's all my fault for underestimating him. I had already noticed Mo Qianci's abnormality when we were in the Law Enforcement Hall. If I'm not mistaken, he should have that legendary meson space."
"What did you say? Mesospace, the legendary mesospace that can form a small world?"
Lu Zhengming's pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice trembled slightly.
However, when he noticed the questioning looks from the law enforcement elder and the other elders, he immediately realized that he had overreacted.
He then regained his composure and looked at the elder in charge of law enforcement.
"Even if he has a spatial dimension, it's impossible for him to recover his cultivation and repair his dantian in just a few days. So, does Mo Qianci have something else besides his spatial dimension?"
The elder of law enforcement hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "That's right. Mo Qianci should still have a remnant soul of a powerful being on his body, but his strength is still unknown."
"But he's definitely above me."
The elders' expressions changed instantly upon hearing this.
A remnant soul whose strength surpasses that of an elder of law enforcement must be an ancient monster who has lived for a very long time. Such ancient monsters usually have many trump cards in their hands and can easily kill people without them even realizing it.
Just like a shattered dantian is theoretically irreparable, but that old monster managed to restore Mo Qianci's dantian and strength in just a few days.
It is easy to imagine how terrifying this remnant soul was.
Clearly, Lu Zhengming had also considered this. His expression hardened slightly. The patriarch of Tianxuan Sect was currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage. If this breakthrough failed, Tianxuan Sect's status would be greatly diminished.
However, if he could capture Mo Qianci, the Mustard Seed Space in his possession, and that remnant soul, he might be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
It may even ascend to heaven.
Elder Dan, who was standing to the side, saw the greed in Lu Zhengming's eyes clearly, as did the Enforcement Elder.
If they could, who wouldn't want the mesospace and the old monster's legacy? But the other party is clearly not someone to be trifled with; we might end up getting wiped out by them.
Elder Dan then coughed a few times, interrupting Lu Zhengming's thoughts.
Lu Zhengming was thus jolted awake from his dream. He shook his head and sighed.
Unless the patriarch intervenes, they will find it difficult to gain an advantage over an old monster; some things are best left unsaid.
However, he then remembered the sound cultivation technique that Lu Fuyue had just played. Wasn't there another one?
His expression softened a bit, and he looked at Lu Fuyue as if she were some great treasure.
When Lu Fuyue met Lu Zhengming's gaze, a chill ran down her spine. Did Lu Zhengming... take a fancy to her cultivation technique?
"Fuyue, if I'm not mistaken, your cultivation has already reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment, right?"
Lu Fuyue was silent for a moment, "Father, do you know that I also have a top-grade spiritual root? Moreover, I have been cultivating since I was a child, so it is normal for me to have the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage now."
Lu Zhengming was slightly taken aback, and then he remembered that his daughter, who was destined to die soon, was indeed a top-grade spiritual root. He had felt sorry for her for a long time back then.
I never expected that she would secretly cultivate on her own, and that her talent was even better than that of ordinary top-grade spiritual roots.
After all, a fifteen-year-old at the early stage of Foundation Establishment is rare in the entire cultivation world.
Could it be that she has some powerful master?
Lu Zhengming asked tentatively,
"Father, you only played a piece of music just now, but it was able to detoxify the Elder of Law Enforcement. I wonder where you obtained this skill?"
Upon hearing this, everyone except Elder Dan and the Enforcement Elder looked at Lu Fuyue expectantly.
Sound cultivators were once comparable to sword cultivators.
Cross-border operations are practically the norm for them.
Moreover, it is said that the cultivation method of sound cultivation may be related to ascension.
Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes and spoke after a long while, "On the day I was five years old and tested to find out that I had a top-grade spiritual root, I met my master in the back mountain. She said that I was destined to be with her, so she specially took me as her disciple. My cultivation and techniques were all taught to me by my master."
Lu Zhengming's expression showed slight surprise. He excitedly took a few steps closer to Lu Fuyue and hurriedly asked, "Then what is your master's cultivation level?"
Lu Fuyue chuckled inwardly. Did they think she was stupid, that she couldn't see through their scheme?
Lu Fuyue feigned hesitation, "This... I don't know."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Zhengming's eyes, but then Lu Fuyue spoke up again.
"However... the feeling Master gives me is similar to that of the remnant soul on Mo Qianci's body just now."
"What?"
One of the elders behind Lu Zhengming immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... a former elder of the Tianyin Sect?"
Lu Zhengming glanced at the elder curiously, "Tell me about it?"
The elder, Elder Hai, who managed the library, nodded and recounted all the rumors he knew about the Tianyin Sect.
"I heard that Tianyin Pavilion was not completely wiped out. Several powerful elders led the talented disciples of Tianyin Pavilion to escape, but I don't know where they went."
"However, some say they fled to another continent, while others say they went into seclusion."
This was the first time Lu Fuyue had heard anyone mention the Tianyin Sect. How wonderful it would be if she could meet another sound cultivator like herself and exchange ideas about cultivation.
Lu Fuyue felt a little regretful, as there was almost no trace of sound cultivators left in the cultivation world.
Lu Zhengming suddenly said, "Fuyue, you know that there are almost no sound cultivators left in the cultivation world, and the person you met might not even be a sound cultivator. Why don't you take out your cultivation technique and let your father and the elders take a look to see if there are any problems?"
Lu Fuyue's lowered eyelashes concealed the sarcasm in her eyes, and her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched involuntarily.
She had actually anticipated this scene when she came out of the Endless Bottom. At that time, she thought Lu Zhengming would restrain himself, but she didn't expect him to speak so righteously and not care at all that she was his daughter.
In that case, she should take back what belongs to her.
She raised her eyes and spoke earnestly, word by word.
"Father, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but my master said that the cultivation techniques she gave me cannot be shown to anyone other than me, otherwise that person will die from a torn soul."
Lu Zhengming's expression changed drastically. Could this be the method of a powerful sound cultivator?
So he hurriedly waved his hand, "Since the senior wants to take you as her disciple, then you should follow her and cultivate diligently."
Lu Zhengming paused for a moment, then asked, "But does Senior know that you faced a life-threatening crisis at the age of sixteen?"
Lu Fuyue nodded. "Master said it could be a death tribulation, but it could also be a life tribulation. Since she has taken me in, she will definitely make sure I live."
Hearing this, everyone no longer doubted the strength of Lu Fuyue's master. After all, if the ancestor couldn't do something, then her master could, which meant that her strength was far above the ancestor's and she should not be offended easily.
...
On her way back to her residence, Lu Fuyue suddenly stopped.
"Uncle Dan, is there something you need?"
