Chapter 514: Chapter 513: The Strategy of Drawing the Tiger away from the Mountain_1

“Damn it, Old Buyu ran away so fast!”

“It’s because you guys jumped the gun. I’ve said it before, we should have waited until he was out of the Seek Dao Sect before making a move! You guys were so hasty, attacking once you saw him, if I were him, I would have run too!”

“We couldn’t help it, seeing our enemy made us too excited, we couldn’t hold back.”

“What should we do now?”

“There is a way, but it’s uncertain if it will work.”

“What’s the plan?”

...

“Don’t forget, we’re part of a matchmaking party…”

…

Recalling the dense barrage of attacks, Daoist Buyu felt a lingering fear. If they had hit, he wasn’t sure whether he’d have survived with just a severe injury or if he’d have lost his life.

“The people from the Trade Association are something else too, is this their way of treating customers? They wouldn’t even sell me insurance!”

Daoist Buyu was quite angry, feeling that the people at the Trade Association were not proper traders. They didn’t want to make money even when he wanted to buy the most expensive insurance.

…

“So this is the correct way to comprehend swordsmanship.”

Coming out of his enlightened state, Lu Yang felt his understanding of swordsmanship had gone up a level. The Young Master Lu, who fought him to a draw three months ago, was no longer his match!

He opened his eyes, only to see Eldest Senior Sister bringing a stack of red auspicious envelopes to him.

“What’s this?”

“These are the betrothal letters from the matchmaking party. They hope to enter the Seek Dao Sect and discuss marriage matters with you in person.”

Lu Yang casually took an invitation. The source was unmistakably the First Class Sect, White Horse Temple.

“…Am I that popular?”

If Meng Jingzhou saw this, wouldn’t he be so envious that he’d grind his molars?

“You being popular is one reason, but the main reason is that they want to enter the sect to find their master.”

“Master hasn’t left yet?” Lu Yang was surprised. He had assumed that, given Master’s restless nature, he would have left after finishing his teaching.

It’s not right to say he’s restless. As he knew, Master served his jail sentences honestly until his term was up.

“He was planning to leave, but someone blocked the door.”

Whether it should be said or not, Lu Yang wasn’t surprised when this happened. On the contrary, he thought it was inevitable.

He knew that the whereabouts of his Master had been sold at a sky-high price on the black market and was in a state of ‘priceless availability’. Any slight hint of information about the whereabouts would be bought up in the shortest amount of time. This shows the popularity of the Master.

Similarly, the news of the Master returning to the sect will naturally spread in the shortest time.

The Master’s enemies are in the Unification stage, all of them are so fast it’s scary. If anyone is proficient in space magic skills, they will be quicker.

Now, he feels there is nothing wrong in having “protection” as the goal of swordsmanship comprehension.

There is no need to protect others, mainly protecting himself.

“So what should we do now?”

Looking at the stack of betrothal letters, Lu Yang was overwhelmed. These were suitors, and if the Seek Dao Sect were to drive them away, they would be the ones in the wrong.

“There are two plans.” The Eldest Senior Sister put down the invitation, analyzing.

“One is to respond to them as soon as possible, agree to let them enter the sect, find the master, and then they’ll have achieved their goal.”

Lu Yang shook his head, this plan definitely wouldn’t work.

“What about the second plan?”

“Hand the Master over.”

Lu Yang: “…”

The second plan was even worse than the first.

“Doesn’t the master excel at transformation? Can’t he just transform into someone else to slip away?”

The Eldest Senior Sister shook her head, rejecting this plan: “The White Horse Temple has brought out their temple’s treasure, the Demon-Reflecting Mirror, which can see through all disguises.”

“And even if the disguise isn’t seen through, and the master successfully slips away, they wouldn’t know about this and would still propose marriage to you at the door.”

“Just hand the Master over then.”

Considering that handing Daoist Buyu over was a risky move, the two first went to the Elixir Cauldron Peak to find the Seventh Elder.

“Martial Nephew Yun, Senior Brother Lu?” Seventh elder was astonished to see the pair arrive, it was unusual for the two to seek him out together.

“Is something wrong?”

After all, it then concerned their master, they couldn’t be too straightforward. Lu Yang chose his words carefully: “Suppose, I’m saying suppose, there is a very powerful Unification stage cultivator, but he has many enemies, who are also in Unification stage. This Unification stage cultivator has bad luck and is besieged by his enemies, probably about fifty or sixty Unification stage cultivators.”

“Is there an elixir that can help him survive under the siege of these people?”

Originally, Lu Yang didn’t have much hope, but unexpectedly the Seventh Elder nodded: “There is a legend that there was an ancient elixir called Procreation Elixir, Senior Brother Lu, you have seen this pill formula before.”

“As long as the unlucky Unification stage cultivator consumes the Procreation Elixir and gets pregnant, considering the humanitarian aspect, those who want to harm him should not go as far as to kill him.”

“…This Unification stage cultivator is a man, are there any other methods?”

“Also, he can wish to be left with a full corpse, and after tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, the corpse might gain consciousness and effectively resurrect. However, this is just a legend, who knows if the resurrected one would still be him.”

“Is there a more reliable solution?”

“Yes, there is. The Unification stage cultivator you mentioned must have done all sorts of evil deeds. Reporting him to the authorities might get him arrested. Even though he would lose his freedom, at the least he’d be able to stay alive.”

Lu Yang and the Eldest Senior Sister thought this was a good idea.

“Oh, you’re here.” Daoist Buyu found Lu Yang and the Eldest Senior Sister in the pill refining room, and along the way asked the Seventh Elder for several bottles of top-grade healing elixirs.

“Just so you know, I’m leaving.”

Lu Yang was taken aback. He hadn’t made up his mind to betray his master, yet his master was going to leave?

“Aren’t you afraid of those people at the door?”

“I definitely can’t beat them, but I have other methods.”

“What methods?”

“I asked Big Brother to leave the Seek Dao Sect and cause some commotion in the neighboring state, making them think I’ve left the Seek Dao Sect. They’ll all rush to the neighboring state, and I’ll take the opportunity to leave the sect.”

Daoist Buyu was laughing proudly. He had been roaming the world for two thousand years, and catching him in broad daylight would be simply dreaming.

Things went exactly as Daoist Buyu planned. The Grand Elder, as the oldest of the nine children in the Seek Dao Sect, didn’t make many enemies, at least none were among the suitors.

The Grand Elder went to the neighboring state, impersonating Daoist Buyu, and revealed the latest chapter “Legends of the Questioning Path Sect — Meng Jingzhou Edition”. He talked about how Young Master Meng, despite being rich, was self-disciplined, dedicated to cultivation, indifferent to women, and even laid a curse on himself. For a long time, he couldn’t even see women, which was truly admirable.

Finding out that Old Buyu was in the neighboring state and considering Old Buyu’s ability to conceal himself, the suitor party was convinced and immediately set off for the neighboring state.

Daoist Buyu took this opportunity to safely escape from the Seek Dao Sect.

After the Master left, Lu Yang sighed slightly. He had thought of this method too, it could be considered as the safest one, but he was not willing to use it on Master.

He always felt that letting Master leave the Seek Dao Sect safely was something he wouldn’t be able to bear on his conscience.

A few days later, an unexpected person found Lu Yang.

“Senior Brother Lu, can you accompany me on a mission?” Tao Yaoye invited him with a big smile.
