Yellow Court Daoist

Clearly,

They verbally defied the old man in the sky, and while his face showed no reaction, he secretly scattered poisonous Gu worms to take their lives.

A display of power through murder!

Thankfully, the Sect Leader saw through the scheme, eradicated the Gu worms with a swift strike, and saved their lives.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

"The Sect Leader is invincible!"

The loyal supporters of Lu Qingfeng, one by one, their faces flushed with excitement, shouted loudly.

Their cries carried relief from narrowly escaping death, gratitude, and perhaps also admiration for Lu Qingfeng's formidable abilities.

After destroying the Gu worms, Lu Qingfeng landed on the canopy, facing the old man in the sky from a distance.

"Sect Leader."

Feihu and Kuang Ge were stunned by Lu Qingfeng's prowess. They quickly came forward to pay their respects, hoping that the Sect Leader hadn't witnessed their earlier actions to avoid a reckoning come autumn.

Lu Qingfeng simply nodded indifferently.

These people were only temporary; loyalty was not a major concern.

When a new generation within the Yinfu Sect grew up, these followers would eventually be replaced. Those diligent and devoted might find a good future, a fitting end. But the two-faced, the lazy, would inevitably live to regret their actions.

"Yinfu Guangyuan?"

After the Gu worms were exterminated, the old man in the sky did not show any anger, but his gaze towards Lu Qingfeng carried a hint of surprise.

"Come down, and we can talk!"

Lu Qingfeng was not in the mood for conversation.

This person used Gu worm techniques the moment there was a disagreement, attempting to harm others.

Ill-intentioned!

Malicious!

No need for talk, a direct fight was the answer.

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, and from his sleeve, hundreds of iron talismans flew out in succession, arranging themselves in the air and surrounding both the old man and the eagle.

"Magic Artifact?"

"Who on earth are you?"

The old man frowned, looking at Lu Qingfeng, and asked in a deep voice. In the Sky Witch Realm, the art of Alchemy and artifact crafting had not been seen for thirty thousand years, and the inheritance of Refining Magical Artifacts and Enchantment Artifacts had also gradually ceased.

From Lu Qingfeng's earlier Sword Qi display, the old man had sensed something unusual.

Now, seeing the talismans in the sky, he was sure.

The person below was likely like himself, a cultivator.

"Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talisman."

"Wind and Fire Array!"

Lu Qingfeng ignored the old man. With a thought, the 365 top-level Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talismans revolved and positioned themselves above and below, swelling with the wind, each growing into a towering pillar in the sky.

He conjured the Wind and Fire Array.

These Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talismans had taken Lu Qingfeng twenty years to gather and barely refine to a total of just over four hundred by mobilizing the Yinfu Sect.

In this life, he had only refined this set of Magic Artifacts.

Though only top-grade talismans, with Lu Qingfeng's expertise in arrays, once activated, even normal Foundation Establishment Cultivators could not withstand them.

As soon as the Wind and Fire Array formed, winds and flames surged, covering a section of the sky, encapsulating the old man and the eagle.

"Screech!"

The eagle cried, flapping its wings trying to sweep aside the wind and fire, to break out of the surrounding array. However, engulfed in the raging gales and fierce fire within the array, it struggled futilely, its feathers charred black.

The eagle's agonized cries were ceaseless.

"Damn it!"

The old man riding the eagle appeared powerful and arrogant, but Lu Qingfeng could see at a glance that his cultivation was merely at the Foundation Establishment Qi Introduction stage. He might command respect in front of an Inner Firmness Grandmaster, but trapped in the Wind and Fire Array, he was left with no option but to await his doom.

The old man also realized the severity of the Wind and Fire Array.

He formed a Seal Technique, and a black light flickered, raising a True Essence Shield around him. Yet, under the assault of wind and fire, it was close to shattering in just a moment.

The old man, flustered, said hurriedly, "Fellow Daoist, there's a misunderstanding. I am Po Feng, an elder of the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land from the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect. I have come to the Yinfu Sect on urgent matters!"

"Golden Silkworm Blessed Land."

"Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect."

Lu Qingfeng's lips curled into a smile, "How serendipitous!"

He had been vexed about not knowing where to find a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land or these cultivators, and now one had come knocking at his door, most cooperative.

"This person must have a deep connection with the Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain. Coming to the Yinfu Sect, he likely aims to enlist its allegiance. Should the Yinfu Sect refuse to submit, as the Yinfu Sect Master, I would surely be the first to be executed," Lu Qingfeng realized.

His hands didn't stop.

The Wind and Fire Array attacked relentlessly.

"Insolent child!"

"Too audacious!" Po Feng was furious.

As his protective technique was about to be breached, he spat out two Gu worms; their golden skin was similar in appearance to silkworms.

"Golden Silkworm Gu."

Lu Qingfeng glanced over, surmising the origin and significance of these worms, and remained on guard.

The Gu insect was indeed as rumored, fearless of water and fire. As soon as it appeared, it broke through the wind and fire. One of them landed on a Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talisman.

With an open mouth, it bit down.

"Crack."

It seemed as if Lu Qingfeng could hear the light sound by his ear. He then felt he could no longer control the Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talisman where the Gu insect resided. It wasn't that the inscription Lu Qingfeng left in the talisman was being nibbled away, but because the talisman—

"The talisman is damaged!"

"I never expected the legendary Golden Silkworm Gu to be not only impervious to weapons but also to have such destructive power that it can even gnaw and damage top-level talismans."

Lu Qingfeng was surprised but not panicked.

With a casual wave of his hand, another Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talisman rushed out from his sleeve to stabilize the Wind and Fire Array that was about to break.

Po Feng saw that the Golden Silkworm Gu was effective and that the Great Array was about to be breached. Just as he was about to rejoice, his face sank upon seeing this scene.

At this moment.

Another Golden Silkworm Gu, taking advantage of the brief pause in the Wind and Fire Array, dashed out.

Heading straight for Lu Qingfeng.

The Golden Silkworm Gu was tricky, not to mention its potent venom, its destructive power alone was not to be underestimated.

If it can gnaw through top-level talismans, how could the flesh of ordinary people withstand it?

Lu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged.

As the Golden Silkworm Gu approached, flashing with golden light, Lu Qingfeng stretched out a hand, and mist surged, enveloping the area in a cold breath—

"Ice Sealing Water Technique."

Water vapor from all directions gathered, turning into ice.

In the blink of an eye, a three-foot-square block of ice had formed. Inside the ice, there was a small golden insect motionless.

[Technique: Ice Sealing Water Technique]

[Grade: High-level]

[Derivation Technique: Five times enhancement, three times fusion]

[Description: The art of ice sealing can freeze all things, cutting off all signs of life.]

This technique was derived from the middle-level 'Extreme Ice Skill' that Lu Qingfeng had enhanced and fused. He rarely used it, only deriving it initially to diversify his methods, and after reaching high-level, he stored it.

But even the high-level techniques were certainly no weak.

Now, facing the unpredictable Golden Silkworm Gu, it froze it directly.

Po Feng's cultivation was not high; the Golden Silkworm Gu he had refined was odd and its power limited. Under the freezing, there was no room for movement. Even if it wanted to gnaw on the Mystic Ice like it gnawed the talisman, it couldn't even open its mouth to attempt it.

Instantly subdued!

At this time in the sky.

In the Wind and Fire Array, another Golden Silkworm Gu was still gnawing at the Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talismans. In the blink of an eye, four had already been damaged.

The Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talismans were not easy to refine.

While Lu Qingfeng was restoring the Great Array, he felt a pang of pain.

He leaped up, and on the ground, dozens of vines grew wildly, reaching towards the sky.

Lu Qingfeng shot out his hand, and with the Ice Sealing Water Technique, he subdued the remaining Golden Silkworm Gu.

Then the Wind and Fire Array surged, burning the trapped eagle to ash, breaking through all of Po Feng's defenses, and knocking him from the sky. With a wave of his hand, the Wind and Fire Array ceased, and three hundred and sixty-five Nine Strategies Xuanhao Talismans fell into Lu Qingfeng's sleeves.

Taking another look.

Po Feng had fallen mid-air, entangled by dozens of vines, firmly bound.

"So strong!"

"Could the Sect Leader be an Immortal?!"

"The wind and fire in the sky, the Sect Leader's Mystic Ice in his hand, the wildly growing vines on the ground... Aren't these the legendary Immortal Laws?"

...

This battle.

From Lu Qingfeng's arrival to the old veteran Po Feng's defeat, seemed quite long but actually happened very rapidly.

Until the old veteran was subdued and Lu Qingfeng descended.

It took a moment for the Yinfu Sect members to come around, and then they were in an uproar.

They always knew their Sect Leader was powerful, even an Inner Firmness Grandmaster was no match for him. But when combating enemies, the Sect Leader still used Mortal Martial Arts, not exceeding mortal concepts.

But today.

The wind and fire from heaven!

The Ice Sealing Technique!

The wildly growing vines!

These were very similar to the rumored Immortal Laws. Thinking back carefully, people instantly understood—

"So our Sect Leader is actually the legendary Immortal!"

In that case.

The Sect Leader's strength and Yinfu Sect's rapid rise were all justified.

With an Immortal descending, naturally, things are different from the mundane world.

In a moment.

Those who worshiped Lu Qingfeng worshiped him even more.

Even those originally unconvinced and subjugated factions were shocked, their expressions changing, also pondering many thoughts.
