Chapter 958 -957: Battle Royale

“Practicing cultivation is never without risks, right? Once you embark on the path of cultivation, you’re bound to encounter battles, Thunder Tribulations, falls, and the like.”

“Even as a Semi-Immortal, you’re not an exception. You might face failure when Crossing the Immortal Tribulation or lose control of the Dao Fruit Outline.”

Fairy Eternity tries to argue, with all seriousness, that this is all normal.

“It’s probably because Bai Ri grasped some emotion she shouldn’t have, something beyond her understanding, and that’s why the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit Outline went out of control.”

“Look at you back in Wild State, complaining about your lack of luck in love affairs. Now look how good you have it, with so many people liking you.”

“Speaking of which, the guy who formed a Harem Golden Core faced a similar situation before he died. You might as well consider yourself a mimic of an Ancient Semi-Immortal.”

“But I didn’t form a Harem Golden Core!” Lu Yang exclaimed in despair.

“Elder Brother Lu Yang, stop right there!”

“Senior Brother, I like you!”

“How about we retire to the countryside together and stay by each other’s side forever?”

Lu Yang didn’t dare to stop for a step, knowing that if he slowed down even a bit, he’d be pinned down by numerous Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters – a fate most dire!

Lu Yang transmitted his voice to the girls behind him, trying to incite infighting: “I appreciate the feelings of all the Senior and Junior Sisters, but there’s only one of me, and so many of you. Even if you catch me, how can you decide who gets to keep me?”

“Then we’ll just have to split Senior Brother between us!”

“!”

Lu Yang gasped in horror. Why did this method sound so eerily familiar?

“Right, I can change my fate by renaming myself!” Lu Yang suddenly remembered he still had this trump card up his sleeve, the Causality Supernatural Power.

He released his Spiritual Sense to scan behind him and found that they hadn’t slowed down in the slightest.

“Lu Yin, let’s be together forever!”

“Senior Brother, alive or dead, you belong to me!”

“Fairy, why isn’t it working?” Lu Yin hastily asked.

“Of course it won’t work. Renaming yourself can only fool lower-level tribulations like the Qian Heaven Thunder Tribulation. You’ve been locked onto by the Dao Fruit Outline, which is much higher-level than the Qian Heaven Thunder Tribulation. You can’t fool it.”

“I suppose once you’ve cultivated to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, you might be able to deceive the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit Embryo with renaming.”

“If I were at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and still being chased, it should be me chasing them!”

“…No, wait, why would I chase them?”

Seeing that renaming himself was ineffective, Lu Yin had no choice but to change his name back.

In this critical situation, Lu Yang couldn’t care less about the Immortal Palace’s rule against flying. He stepped onto the Sword Washing Pool and took off,

and, surely, this had to fall under the “special circumstances” allowed by the Immortal Palace rules.

As a true Sword Cultivator, when Lu Yang stepped onto the Sword Washing Pool, his speed increased dramatically, and he quickly distanced himself from the pursuing crowd, leaving only a blurry figure in the vast snow.

Suddenly, attacks came from both the left and the right, all aimed to bind or restrain him. The Sword Washing Pool, having its own Spirituality, automatically raised its altitude, narrowly avoiding the assaults from both sides.

Two more Disciples of the Immortal Palace joined the pursuit of Lu Yang!

“No good, at this rate I’m bound to be caught eventually.” Lu Yang realized that, despite flying quickly, he couldn’t cope with so many people catching up and setting up blockades. An attack could appear unexpectedly, and with energy waning over time, a single slip could lead to capture.

Lu Yang urged the Sword Washing Pool to accelerate further, temporarily throwing off his pursuers, before he leaped down and burrowed into the ground.

“Tree Planting Spell!”

Two Lu Yangs emerged from underground, one the real Lu Yang, the other a Wooden Avatar dressed in leafy garments.

The primordial spirit flew out and entered the Wooden Avatar, so that he wouldn’t have to distract himself controlling it.

Lu Yang had the Wooden Avatar change into identical clothes, then he put it on the Sword Washing Pool and sent it flying away quickly.

“There’s Elder Brother Lu Yang!”

“Chase him!”

Lu Yang hid underground, watching the primordial spirit flee in embarrassment, deeply moved.

“You must not get caught.”

No one chased after him, so Lu Yang’s pressure plummeted, and he sighed in relief.

Even when he stopped, he could feel his heart pounding violently, scared out of his wits.

“Go to the Sinners’ Hall… Forget it, can’t count on Senior Chasing Moon, I have to find Palace Master Luo for help… The Body Integration Realm should be unaffected, right? It seemed like there was no one from the Body Integration Realm chasing me just now.”

Lu Yang dared not bet on whether the Body Integration Realm was unaffected; if he walked into a trap, then the joke would be on him.

“Seems like I’ve arrived at the guest rooms.” Lu Yang looked up at the ground and realized that, before he knew it, he had come to the place where he was staying.

“It’s also good to go back and rest first.”

Lu Yang emerged from the ground and did not dare to use his Spiritual Sense to explore, worried that the disciples of the Immortal Palace would detect him.

Lu Yang peeked here and there, walking close to the walls, where the eaves above allowed him to be more concealed.

Just as Lu Yang was about to open the door, the wooden door suddenly opened, and a cool, jade hand pulled Lu Yang inside, giving him a big scare.

Upon seeing the owner of the jade hand, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and clutching his chest with lingering fear, he said, “You scared me to death; turns out it’s Junior Sister Lan.”

“Senior Brother, are you all right? I saw just now that many people were chasing you,” asked Lan Ting with concern.

“I’m fine, I used a little trick to deceive them away.”

“It’s good that Senior Brother is fine,” Lan Ting said, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she quietly closed the room door.

Back in a familiar place, Lu Yang couldn’t help but relax, saying casually with his back to Lan Ting, “I suspect it’s the collapse of Senior Chasing Moon’s Dao Fruit Outline that caused everyone in the Immortal Palace to fall for me…”

Lu Yang realized something was wrong abruptly—Lan Ting was also part of “everyone in the Immortal Palace,” wasn’t she?

And why was Lan Ting in his room?

Whoosh, Lan Ting flung out two strands of her blue dress ribbons, which like Flood Dragons, instantly coiled around Lu Yang.

“Junior Sister, you…” Lu Yang’s expression changed slightly, he had been careless.

Lan Ting stretched out her slender jade hand, stroked Lu Yang’s chest through his clothes, then with a light push, knocked Lu Yang onto the bed.

She lay on top of him, her warm and soft voice tingling in his ear, “Senior Brother, you belong to me.”

“!”

Clang, the room door was kicked open, and Tao Yaoye, holding a red paper umbrella, stood at the entrance, furious, “Junior Sister Lan, how dare you run away!”

“So what if I ran away, first come first served!”

Tao Yaoye used the umbrella as a sword, thrusting it towards Lan Ting, who somehow produced an axe and blocked the red paper umbrella with it held across her chest.

The axe flowed smoothly in her hands, obviously well-practiced.

Lu Yang took advantage of the squabble between the two women to bounce up from the bed. As he was bound by the dress ribbons, he hopped out like a zombie.

“Senior Brother, where are you running to!” Lan Ting grabbed hold of Lu Yang, pulling him into her arms, and fought against Tao Yaoye single-handedly.

Tao Yaoye opened her red paper umbrella, unleashing her Illusionary Realm, making Lan Ting’s eyes glazed over, entrapped in an illusion.

“Elder Brother Lu Yang is mine!” Tao Yaoye took the chance to snatch Lu Yang away.

“Don’t even think about it!” Lan Ting easily broke the temporary illusion and used the ribbons to pull Lu Yang back.

Lu Yang was passed back and forth between the two women like an object.

The two women were evenly matched, and realizing that whoever held Lu Yang would be put at a disadvantage, they reluctantly set him aside for the time being.

“Elder Brother Lu Yang is mine!” A third figure appeared at the doorway and joined the fight.

“Senior Sister Jinghong?!”
