Asura Continent

Ye Hongde was still quibbling, he shook his head and said, "Junior brother Lu, I have never helped you before, you must be thinking too much!"

"You're lying." Lu Yang's face was solemn as he slowly analyzed the situation, "Just now, when I said that Elder Lu wanted to kill me, there was no surprise in your eyes. This is more than enough to prove that you either know about this, or that the person who saved me is you. Furthermore, you intentionally changed the topic. It can be seen that you don't wish to talk about it.

Ye Hongde looked at Lu Yang in shock. He did not expect Lu Yang to have such a thorough analysis at such a young age, and to have a shrewd mind that is not possessed by his peers. Ye Hongde realized that he had underestimated Lu Yang. Lu Yang was much stronger than he thought, and said seriously, "I did help you, you only need to know that I did it for your own good. As for why I helped you, you still don't know."

Lu Yang's heart tightened, and he asked again, "I'm your chess piece?"

"The heaven and earth is the disk. We are all pawns. How could you be the only pawns?" Ye Hongde said a profound sentence, then changed the topic, "You have to grasp this opportunity, whether you can quickly improve your cultivation, and whether you can leave the Liu He Sect will all depend on your hard work this month."

Lu Yang knew that if he continued to ask, Ye Hongde would not tell others the truth. He changed the topic and said, "I want to know, what kind of Dao Debate is this?"

Ye Hongde smiled, and said, "You will know once we get there. There is no point in asking now." With that, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Alright, I'll take you to see the elder in charge of this matter. When we get there, he'll tell you what you should do in the next month."

As the two walked into the forest, Ye Hongde brought Lu Yang to the northernmost yard on the mountain. This yard was similar to Elder Lu's yard, but there were no disciples guarding the door. Arriving at the front of the yard, Ye Hongde knocked twice on the door, cupped his fist and said, "Elder Fang, Liu He Sect's disciple Lu Yang, disciple has arrived."

A moment later, an old and dignified voice was heard, "Have him wait at the door, you can go back first!"

"Yes, Elder Fang." Ye Hongde looked at Lu Yang, his mouth moved a few times, as if he had something to say. In the end, without saying anything, he turned and left.

Lu Yang stood outside the door, pondering why Ye Hongde wanted to help him. But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a clue.

At this moment, Elder Fang's voice came from the courtyard, "Come in!"

With a creaking sound, the door of the courtyard opened by itself. Lu Yang was no longer the ignorant Wu Dai Meng of the past. He knew that Elder Fang had used a spell to release his spiritual power while using his spiritual sense to control the door to open up. Lu Yang did not put on any airs as he quickly walked into the yard.

After entering the courtyard, he found that there were no herbs growing on the ground. It was obvious that Elder Fang didn't know how to refine pills.

Many stone carvings, fierce tigers, lions, and many other unspeakable birds and beasts were placed on the open spaces on both sides of the courtyard. However, without exception, all these beasts looked very lifelike. Especially their eyes, which seemed as if they could come alive at any time.

Elder Fang was sitting on a stone chair, placing the recently carved stone statue to the side. He turned around and asked Lu Yang, "How long have you been in the Six Corporeal Sects? What's your cultivation level now?"

"Replying to Elder, this disciple has been in the Liu He Sect for three years, and is now at the 1st level of the Refinement Stage." Lu Yang replied with a cupped fist.

Elder Fang looked to be in his fifties and had an ordinary appearance. His body emitted an enormous aura which was even stronger than Elder Lu's. Elder Fang nodded his head as his gaze quickly swept across Lu Yang. With this one glance, he seemed to be able to see through Lu Yang's insides and outdoors. He then said sternly, "Looking at your bones and meridians, you should have just turned twenty this year, you're qualified to participate in the Dao Debate Assembly."

At this point, Elder Fang paused for a moment before continuing, "To be able to cultivate to this level within three years is indeed not easy, hmm …" He was stunned for a moment before saying in disbelief, "Heaven's End Spirit Root, I didn't expect that you would have such a rare Heaven's End Spirit Root. Those without it can reach this level in a short three years, so they are considered half a genius."

Lu Yang didn't have much of an expression on his face, but his heart was in turmoil. This Elder Fang was too powerful. With just a glance, one could tell his age and his Heaven's End Spirit Root. Lu Yang was afraid that Elder Fang would see through something else. If he saw the treasure within the Universe Ring, he would regret it even before it was too late. He hurriedly said, "Disciple's luck is good …"

Elder Fang smiled indifferently, "It's not that your luck is good, it's just that your luck is unimaginably good. I think you must have put in a lot of effort in these three years!" He glanced outside the door and said: "Wait here for a while. There will be someone to give you the robe you have been wearing for the past month. This old man will go into the room to fetch some things."

With that, Elder Fang left. Lu Yang was extremely envious in his heart. This Elder Fang was indeed amazing to actually know that there was someone walking this way. Lu Yang's consciousness moved. He also wanted to sense the situation around him, but he discovered that the area he could sense was only thirty meters. He couldn't see what was happening outside the yard. Just as he was about to forcibly sense the situation outside the courtyard, an invisible energy came from the walls outside.

This energy was unimaginably powerful. Lu Yang's body trembled and he almost fell to the ground.

At the same time, Elder Fang's voice came from within the courtyard, sounding slightly dissatisfied. "Don't randomly sense things, there's a powerful formation laid out in the courtyard …."

Lu Yang hurriedly retracted his Spiritual Sense and regretted his curiosity just now. He obediently stood to the side.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, "Elder Fang, are you there?"

This voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it before, but for a moment, Lu Yang couldn't remember who it was.

"Bring the things in! He's already here. You can return after you give him the thing. " Elder Fang still did not come out. After saying this, he fell silent.

The door to the room opened and a young man around the age of twenty walked in. He was handsome and had a slightly tired expression. He wore a long gray robe and held a few brand-new yellow robes in his hands. Clearly, he was an honorary disciple of the sect who was responsible for cleaning the inner sect disciples' robes.

The grey-clothed young man walked in front of Lu Yang and very respectfully passed the robe in front of him and said, "Senior, this is your new robe."

Lu Yang received the Daoist Robe and placed it into his Qiankun bag. He carefully sized him up and then revealed a look of understanding.

The gray-clothed youth's eyes were filled with envy; he obviously wanted a storage ring. But at the next moment, when he clearly saw Lu Yang's appearance, he was completely stunned. Then, he lost his voice: "You, you, why are you here? And he even became an inner court disciple … "

This grey robed youth was no stranger. He was the one who had stolen the wooden sword from him. Three years had passed, but he was still an honorary disciple.

"Junior Wu, I didn't expect this!" We meet again. " Lu Yang clearly remembered the words that Wu Yu said three years ago. At that time, he was extremely angry, but his cultivation was too low and he couldn't find the other party to argue. Now that his cultivation base had risen, Lu Yang should be able to vent the anger in his heart. Step by step, he walked into Wu Chong's room and asked: "Junior Martial Brother Wu, how have you been these years?"

Wu Haoyu kept backing away, his face filled with fear as he asked with a trembling voice: "Wh-what are you trying to do?"

"What for?" Lu Yang snorted coldly and said word by word, "I still remember what you said to me back then. What did you say I wanted to do?"

After Wu Yu became an honorary disciple, he found out that honorary disciples had no use at all in the sect. To put it nicely, they were disciples of the Nine Mystical Sect. It was exactly like this, when Wu Yu saw the inner court disciples, he was polite and didn't dare to say a single thing. He knew that if he said something wrong, the other party would be able to scold them at will. Even if they were beaten half to death, the Nine Mystical Sect would not hold them accountable.

Seeing that Lu Yang was dressed in yellow, Wu Haoyuan thought that he was also an inner disciple. He kneeled on the ground and said: "Senior brother, I know my wrongs. You, my lord, don't mind this lowly person. Please spare me!"

Lu Yang had never thought of doing anything to Wu Dai, he had only thought of a way to vent his anger. Seeing the other party yield so easily, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, scram!"

"Yes, yes …" Wu kowtowed a few times, got up and ran out the door.

However, just as he reached the door, a few disciples walked in. The leader of the group coldly said, "Wu Yu, what happened to you? Did Elder Fang punish you?"

"No, Senior Martial Brother Sun, I'll be leaving first." Wu Dai looked away and was about to leave.

Sun Wenhao glared at him and snappily said, "Look at your cowardly look. Don't even think about getting any future for your entire life. Let me ask you, is there anyone at Elder Fang's place? "

"Yes, I just gave a few robes to that senior." Although Wu Yu didn't know why Sun Wenhao asked these questions, he still answered truthfully.

"Since he is here and you are injured to such an extent, if I'm not wrong, you should have been injured by him!" Sun Wenhao narrowed his eyes, as if he understood everything.

Wu Dai didn't dare to answer. He didn't know what to say, so he quickly begged for mercy: "Senior Martial Brother Sun, please let me go!"

"If the other Senior Brothers hit you, then we can forget about it, but do you think we can let this matter go?" Sun Wenhao glanced at the yard and a trace of killing intent flashed across his eyes. He was Elder Lu's grandson and also one of the most outstanding disciples of the third generation in the Nine Mystical Sect. When he came, Elder Lu had instructed him to bring some people to teach Junior Brother Lu who was standing in front of the door a lesson.

Evidently, Elder Lu had already received the news that Lu Yang was already in the Nine Mystical Sect.

Wu Dai didn't understand the meaning behind his words and was on the verge of tears. "Senior Martial Brother Sun, it is only right that that senior should teach me a lesson. I have done the wrong thing."

"You idiot. That person is not a disciple of the Nine Mystical Sect. Don't tell me that you still think it's natural to be beaten up?" Sun Wenhao was extremely angry. He grabbed Wu Jiu's collar and threw him into the yard.

Sun Wenhao and the others also entered the courtyard. He looked at Wu Haoyu who had crawled up, then looked at Lu Yang and said, "I assume you're Junior Brother Lu from the Liu He Sect?"

Lu Yang's brows twitched. He glanced at Sun Wenhao and the others, only to see a few familiar figures in the crowd.

At the same time, those three people were also looking at Lu Yang. The person standing in the middle obviously recognized Lu Yang and said in surprise, "Lu Yang, why are you here? Didn't Young Master Lu kill you?"

Lu Yang did not expect to meet someone he knew here. Not only that, it was Wang Li Qun and two of his underlings who were at the Mortal Life Academy back then. Thinking back to the events that had occurred between him and Wang Liquan, he forced out a smile and said, "The world is really small. I didn't expect you all to join the Nine Mystical Sect."
