Chapter 256: Chapter 255 Reliable Tao Yaoye_1

“Huh, this is a good method!” Meng Jingzhou laughed and relaxed a bit.

After all, right now it was Tao Yaoye controlling their three bodies, and they didn’t really have to do anything.

“I thought of this method on the spur of the moment. Don’t underestimate the intelligence of Junior Sister Tao. A glance from me and she understood my intention.” Lu Yang was quite pleased with himself for coming up with this trick.

At first, Man Gu didn’t understand what was going on and tried to resist the illusion, but Lu Yang calmed him down.

“This illusion was created by Junior Sister Tao to prevent us from getting dizzy.”

In reality, the fighting style of the trio was extravagant and bold, reflecting the grandeur of ancient generals sweeping through armies.

Tao Yaoye was becoming more and more skilled at controlling the three of them, leaving their opponents dripping wet in defeat.

The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain exchanged stunned glances after seeing this display.

These were indeed students of the Seek Dao Sect with their unorthodox fighting style unlike ordinary cultivators.

“What kind of strategy is this?!” The crowd inside the pit was terrified.

Throughout history, when three people attacked at the same time, they were often not in tune with each other or not well-coordinated leading to inability to utilize their full strength.

Just like them, they were seven people attacking Lu Yang, but the power they displayed was equivalent to three or four people at most.

In contrast, after the combination of the three of Lu Yang, their combat power increased threefold. The perfect coordination allowed them to fully unleash their strength.

“So, is this the fighting method of Buddhism?!”

The crowd couldn’t be blamed for guessing as such. People from Buddhism rarely made a move. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were clearly Buddhists, and with Man Gu’s vicious appearance, it was likely that Buddhism nurtured him as a protector.

“It is rare to witness the fighting style of Buddhism. Today, I finally saw it.”

It could be considered as boasting in a way.

Even when their hair is shaved off, it can grow back again, but the fighting style of Buddhism is not easy to come by.

At the edge of the lake, Tao Yaoye was panting from exhaustion. She had to maintain the illusion while figuring out how to coordinate the movements of the three of them to break the blockade.

Probably because Lu Yang had made too many enemies, there was a firm resolution in everyone to not let Lu Yang escape.

“Since the purpose of this trip is the Twin Lotus, isn’t it enough to just take the lotus?” Tao Yaoye used the illusion to conceal her own presence, cunningly jumped into the mud pit, and took the Twin Lotus.

“The lotus is gone…” Someone inadvertently glanced back and found out the lotus was no more.

Just as he was about to shout, Tao Yaoye stuck her finger out, gently pressing it on the man’s forehead, sending him into a deep illusion.

Seeing that the lotus was already in hand, Tao Yaoye took off running, leaving behind only a fading silhouette.

“The lotus is gone!” Finally, someone noticed the most important thing about this trip – the Twin Lotus had been stolen!

“It was her who took it away!” Someone pointed at the distant Tao Yaoye.

“Chase her!”

More than half of the people went to chase Tao Yaoye, which finally gave Lu Yang and the others some reprieve.

The remaining twenty or so cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment Stage didn’t pose much of a threat anymore.

The three of them weren’t worried about Tao Yaoye either. Tao Yaoye was skilled in creating illusions, escaping pursuit was an easy task for her. Even Meng Jingzhou wasn’t confident that he could completely see through Tao Yaoye’s illusion.

Among those in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Tao Yaoye’s illusions could be considered the strongest.

Only Lu Yang was not afraid of illusions due to the uniqueness of his cultivation technique.

“Young Hero Lu, Young Hero Meng, Miss Tao told you to wait for her at the Yuanming Inn later.” The big brother with the hooked nose ran over to relay the message after seeing Lu Yang and the others defeat the rest of the people in no time.

“Alright, I got it. You’ve worked hard, Big Brother Eagle.”

The Big Brother with the hooked nose quickly waved his hand: “I wouldn’t dare say that, we didn’t manage to help much this time.”

Man Gu added: “The Yuanming Inn is where Junior Sister Tao and I stay when we’re in Demon Suppressing Pass.”

Among the top five in their cohort, Tao Yaoye was third, and Man Gu was fourth.

Lu Yang laughed: “That’s quite a coincidence, the Yuanming Inn is where Meng Jingzhou and I are staying too.”

“Let’s go back; Junior Sister Tao might get back before us.”

…

When they returned to the inn, Tao Yaoye was already there waiting for them, leaning against the wall and yawning from boredom, with a wooden box in her right hand.

“What is up with the three of you dressing like this?” Tao Yaoye looked at the trio, her face filled with curiosity.

Lu Yang and the other two were wearing black hoods, their faces hidden, looking like they were guilty of something.

This type of attire is quite common in Demon Suppressing Pass, but it was unusual for Lu Yang.

Lu Yang sighed: “Isn’t it because we ran into cultivators who got their heads shaved by me on our way back? We were afraid they would recognize us, so we disguised ourselves.”

“This time, we’ve completely offended all the late-stage cultivators at the Demon Suppressing Pass.”

Tao Yaoye rolled her eyes: “Isn’t that what you asked for? Insisting on using the Arhat Fist? And why would the Arhat Fist cause people to lose their hair? Is it designed to transform people into Arhats?”

“It’s called encouraging people to be righteous, it’s the manifestation of the mastery of the Arhat Fist, and who knew that the Arhat Fist would cause such impressive hair loss?” Lu Yang tried to defend himself.

Tao Yaoye unofficially disregarded Lu Yang’s argument, she raised the wooden box she had been carrying: “The Twin Lotus is here, let’s go upstairs.”

This was a prime sandalwood box, it could shield against Spiritual Sense detection, ensuring the aura of the Twin Lotus was not leaked.

“Bidding farewell to the four of you, young heroes.” The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain saluted and bid farewell to Lu Yang.

“Let’s go, Meng Jingzhou and I are also staying at this inn.”

“What a coincidence?” Tao Yaoye was surprised, then remembered Meng Jingzhou’s status, “Is it because this inn is the most expensive one at the Demon Suppressing Pass?”

“That’s right,” Meng Jingzhou laughed, he always chose the priciest item and accommodations were no exception.

The four of them headed over to Meng Jingzhou’s room.

“Why did you two come to Demon Suppressing Pass as well?” Lu Yang asked curiously.

Did you two also recklessly ask about the age of Senior Sister and got banished here?

“A few days ago, I had some insights while cultivating and wanted to find someone to discuss it with. So, I went to Sky Gate Mountain to find you, but Senior Sister told me you weren’t there and that you’d gone to Demon Suppressing Pass with Meng Jingzhou ten days ago.”

“Senior Sister said she had been keeping an eye on you two, noticing that your cultivation progress in Demon Suppressing Pass was quite effective. So, she suggested Man Gu and I come here as well.”

“At first, we wanted to bring Li Haoran along, but for some reason, Senior Sister said it wasn’t safe for Li Haoran to leave the Seek Dao Sect, so he didn’t come.”

“And that’s how the two of us ended up here.”

After listening, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou broke into cold sweats. Senior Sister was indeed omniscient and omnipotent, able to discern their actions. It was lucky that they had been careful with their words and actions these past few days, not speaking ill of Senior Sister.

Meng Jingzhou was feeling particularly fortunate.

He remembered when they had just arrived in the dense forest, he said that Senior Sister had banished them to the frontier. It was Lu Yang’s timely reminder that made him change his words, so he was able to avoid calamity.

As Tao Yaoye was speaking, she opened the wooden box.

Inside the box, the Twin Lotus lay quietly.

“We went through all that trouble to get the Twin Lotus, how should we divide it up?”

“Lu Yang, I want the Lotus seed! It’s delicious!” Fairy Eternity was shouting in the Spiritual Space, pounding the ground to remind Lu Yang.

Lu Yang pretended not to hear the commotion in his Spiritual Space.
