Chapter 482 -481: Why Are There So Many People in the Treasure Box? _1

“Uncle Ba, this old book of yours…”

Lu Yang looked perplexed. He had heard the conversation just now. The old book detailed the stories of the Hundred Medicine Heavenly King.

Wasn’t the Hundred Medicine Heavenly King you, old man?

Are you writing your autobiography?

Uncle Ba did not feel embarrassed at all and admitted directly, “I just want to exploit the fame we earned in Hanshui City battle, and use this opportunity to market and promote myself.”

He thought that the appearance of the divine bean deity in the Hanshui City was the handiwork of Eldest Senior Sister.

“I planned to purposely leak some information to the outside world, so everyone knows about the mysterious and powerful Heaven’s Court.”

“Look at this book, it appears old enough. I specifically borrowed a magic artifact related to time magic from Old Five and aged this book with the artifact.”

As a notorious member of the nine children of the Seek Dao Sect, Uncle Ba was meticulous in his deceit.

“Fifth Elder can control time?” Lu Yang was surprised. Amongst the people he knew, only he, Fairy Eternity, and Time Immortal could use time magic.

It is very difficult to cultivate time magic; if one does not have high suspicion, they will not learn it no matter how hard they try.

“No, Old Five doesn’t have such an immense ability. He just happened to refine it. It’s a tapestry that can change the time of the objects it wraps. He treasures it a lot. If it wasn’t for myself and big brother intervening, he wouldn’t have lent it to me!” Uncle Ba muttered, dissatisfied with Fifth Elder’s stinginess.

He did not think about the fact that he was even more miserly than the Fifth Elder when it came to guarding the medicinal garden. If anyone picked a herb or two, he would act as though they were after his life.

“Did the Grand Elder also participate?”

What can I say? Lu Yang didn’t feel surprised by this news, after learning about it.

He even felt that it was understandable.

“Let’s go, capture all the unfamiliar faces.”

Eldest Senior Sister did not interfere in Uncle Ba’s antics. Uncle Ba’s activities did not pose any risk and it wouldn’t tarnish the image of the Seek Dao Sect. It fit well within the conditions of the event.

Moreover, there were important things to do right now.

She decided to gain momentum by capturing everyone and put them in the treasure box to understand what these unfamiliar cultivators were planning to do.

“Let’s go!” With the support of Eldest Senior Sister, Lu Yang had the courage to go forward. He, being the representative of the Acting Sect Leader, saw no issue in capturing a few Unification cultivators.

The brother-sister duo, equipped with the treasure box, moved unimpeded in the Seek Dao Sect, capturing all the unfamiliar cultivators and stashing them away.

This even included the cultivators at the Transcendence Tribulation stage.

The Restraining Light Treasure Box was a top-tier treasure, passed down for a hundred thousand years in the Laurel Fairy Palace. Through the blessings of the Palace Master and Supreme Elders from generations, it had become extremely powerful, capable of trapping even those in the Transcendence Tribulation stage.

However, those at the Transcendence Tribulation stage could easily escape from the treasure box.

…

The black and white honorable was enveloped in a beam of light, and he assumed his identity had been exposed. He had a cruel look in his eyes and fought back fiercely, but he could only obediently enter the Restraining Light Treasure Box.

As soon as he entered, he saw the cultivator from Great Xia beating up his subordinates. While they weren’t hitting hard, the humiliation was immense. His subordinates were fighting back desperately, receiving heavier punches in return.

Seventeen or eighteen Unification cultivators from Great Yu had been beaten and were lying on the ground, their status unknown.

“Damn it, we’re definitely exposed!”

This obviously could not be the Seek Dao Sect’s hospitality.

Most of the bigshots of Great Xia that he could name were here. Their message had obviously leaked somehow, which let the Seek Dao Sect grasp their handle. As such, they tactically arranged for people in the treasure box to capture them all in one fell swoop!

“What a clever plot.” The black and white honorable’s voice was cold. The Imperial Teacher was absolutely correct. The Seek Dao Sect was indeed an obstacle to the restoration of Great Yu.

But what of that? He was a late-stage Transcendent. Could he be trapped in this trashy box?

He turned his hands over, and black and white spheres emerged, slowly spinning and containing an infinite amount of destructive power.

Qiu Jin’an and Yang Ding, who were about to make a move, saw the black and white spheres and promptly retreated.

This person is definitely not at the Unification stage!

A cold smile crossed the black and white honorable’s face. Just a handful of Unification cultivators, do they think they can trap me because they are overbearing?

Suddenly, he sensed danger. An old monk slowly walked over, full of compassion, with an intense Buddhist aura.

Another old man sat up from the ground, generating a purple steam that traveled three thousand miles eastwards, like a flowing ribbon. The old man grabbed this steam in his hand. It was the founder patriarch from the Control Qi Sect, the One Qi Venerable.

Wooden scraps scattered on the ground levitated and assembled into a puppet, the Puppet Honorable, the Grand Elder of Yanshi Sect.

One Great Power after another climbed up from the ground, radiating an aura exceeding the Unification Stage.

For the 120,000-year celebration of Seek Dao Sect, naturally they also invited the senior predecessors of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage to observe.

They all came to mock Master Jiesha, couldn’t find Master Jiesha, so they went to find Luo Hongxia and were each put into the treasure box, suffering the beating of Master Jiesha.

There were only so many people at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. When a Transcendance Tribulation Stage with an unknown origin suddenly appeared, they naturally wanted to interrogate him carefully.

“All together!” Lu Baqian shouted, and several Transcendance Tribulation Stages attacked at the same time.

The Puppet Honorable showed a desperate look.

As expected, the Seek Dao Sect was well prepared!

He had fallen into their trap!

…

“Almost everyone is caught.” Yun Zhi and Lu Yang walked around for a few circles, now everyone outside was familiar to them.

“Let’s go in and interrogate them.”

Yun Zhi was quite confident. She had caught so many people. Even if one or two of them didn’t tell the truth, could it be possible that all of them wouldn’t?

A beam of light enveloped the two of them, and they entered the treasure box.

“Fellow Daoists, someone else has come in, get up!” Lu Baqian, upon seeing someone come in, shouted, signaling everyone to attack.

He rushed to the front, unaware that the expression of the people behind him was filled with terrible memories, they showed a somewhat horrified expression and stopped in their tracks, not charging forward.

“Yun… Yun Zhi?” Lu Baqian also reacted, abruptly halting his steps.

“Why are there so many people?” Yun Zhi was also very surprised, she thought the box was filled with unfamiliar cultivators.

Lu Yang’s eyes flickered, observing his surroundings.

Unfamiliar cultivators were all tied up, even the three seized Transcendance Tribulation Stages were no exception.

One of the Transcendance Tribulation Stages was currently confessing the truth of their actions.

“I confess, I’ve confessed everything.”

“We are cultivators from Great Yu, acting on the orders of the Imperial Teacher. Seizing the opportunity of the celebration, we infiltrated the Seek Dao Sect to assassinate Lu Yang and then wipe out the entire Seek Dao Sect.”

“All our comrades are here, captured by you.”

Lu Yang made a strange face, unsure of what kind of expression he should show.

So these unfamiliar cultivators were from Great Yu. This was somewhat anticipated, but why on earth did they want to kill me?

Has my identity as the heir of Heaven’s Court been exposed?

“How come all of you fellow Daoists are here?” Yun Zhi was puzzled.

Lu Baqian explained it with an expression that suggested they had expected all this: “That’s a long story. We received the news that cultivators from Great Yu would infiltrate Seek Dao Sect, so I summoned my fellow Daoists to gather here and ambush them!”

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s exactly what happened.”

“We waited for a long time and finally, they showed up.”

Everyone nodded their heads to corroborate Lu Baqian’s story.

Otherwise, what would they say, that they came all this way to mock the four leaders of the Four Great Immortal Sects, but ended up being fished in and beaten up?

They could not lose that much face.

Obviously, they thought the cultivators of Great Yu were brought in by Luo Hongxia.

Out of respect for their senior predecessors, Yun Zhi did not expose their lies.

People like Qiu Jin’an also did not expose their lies. After all, they had already been beaten up; they needed to save some face.

The Great Yu cultivators who heard this regretted deeply.

I knew it was a trap!

The Puppet Honorable, whose cultivation level was the highest, was not convinced. He felt that things hadn’t reached the point of no return yet: “How about you having more people, waits till the Imperial Teacher makes a move, you will all be done for!”
