Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 466: Kill Lu Yang first

The new unclaimed cave was bustling with Great Yu cultivators, who were continuously moving items from their storage rings to decorate the new cave.

Even palaces could be moved from storage rings, and soon a magnificent palace stood proudly in the desolate cave.

Next to the palace was an inconspicuous thatched hut, which was the residence of the national teacher.

The national teacher lived like a hermit, and his dwelling was extremely modest and simple.

He squatted on a small stool, his eyes deep and unfathomable like an ancient well, exuding the aura of a wise and strategic recluse.

"Now we're safe."

"Seek Tao Sect forced me to relocate, what an utter humiliation!"

He was no ordinary person; he was the second national teacher of Great Yu, the inheritor and promoter of Great Yu's golden age. Several emperors of Yu had become wise rulers with his assistance, earning him the respect of the world.

The first national teacher had two outstanding disciples. The eldest disciple fought on all fronts and established the Great Yu Dynasty, later known as the founding emperor, while he was the second disciple of the first national teacher.

He himself was a terrifyingly powerful cultivator, capable of suppressing six Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators single-handedly.

All of this started because Bu Yu Taoist set a trap, Dawn was captured, and the location of the cave was leaked.

His subordinates also showed anger in their eyes. How dare a mere sect compete with a dynasty: "Damn Seek Tao Sect!"

The national teacher's eyes were cold as he analyzed how to deal with Seek Tao Sect: "So far, Seek Tao Sect has obstructed Great Yu three times."

"At the Qingzhou Festival, a cultivator from Seek Tao Sect intervened, but due to the influence of the power of a nation's fate, the identity of this cultivator remains unknown."

"Secondly, a Golden Elixir stage disciple named Lu Yang exposed Huang Ming, who was planted in the Corpse Driving Sect."

"Lastly, the sect master of Seek Tao Sect, Bu Yu Taoist, set a trap and captured Dawn."

"These three must die. Let's start with the lowest-ranking one, Lu Yang. If Great Yu doesn't take action soon, Great Xia and the hidden Great Qian will laugh at us!"

Both Great Yu and Great Qian had intentions of replacing Great Xia, and they were in a competitive relationship. The national teacher had often sought the hiding place of Great Qian, hoping to make Great Qian and Great Xia fight each other to the point of mutual destruction, so Great Yu could benefit.

Unfortunately, he had found nothing.

The national teacher ordered his subordinate: "Go find out where this disciple named Lu Yang is now. If you can kill him, do it."

"Yes!"

After the subordinate left, the national teacher pondered. According to his information, during the battle in Hanshui City, a third-party force appeared, an immortal claiming to be the Supreme Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court Sect, who defeated Wu Youdao and his two companions.

"What is the origin of this Heavenly Court Sect, and who is Dou Heavenly Sovereign?"

The national teacher, well-versed in the ways of the world, had also investigated the current power divisions but had never heard of the Heavenly Court Sect, let alone Dou Heavenly Sovereign.

"This Heavenly Court Sect seems to have appeared out of nowhere, strange."

"Why did the Heavenly Court Sect intervene to stop Wu Youdao, and why are they also eyeing the power of a nation's fate?"

Five days later, the subordinate reported back.

"Did you find Lu Yang?"

"Reporting to the national teacher, yes."

"Did you kill him?"

"Well..."

"Just a mere Golden Elixir stage cultivator, and you couldn't kill him?!" The national teacher was visibly angry, dissatisfied with his subordinate's efficiency. If everyone had this attitude, how could Great Yu talk about restoration!

The subordinate was on the verge of tears: "Sir, Lu Yang is already the acting sect master."

"Hmm?"

The national teacher thought he had misheard. Although he looked down on Seek Tao Sect, it shouldn't have fallen so low as to have a Golden Elixir stage cultivator as acting sect master.

He was reluctant to touch Bu Yu Taoist because he was the sect master, too conspicuous, and any action could easily go wrong.

Now that Lu Yang had become the acting sect master, there must be many people protecting him, and acting rashly would be unwise.

"According to the information I gathered, this matter involves internal power struggles within Seek Tao Sect. The sect's power has long been monopolized by a cultivator named Yun Zhi, who is the actual sect master. Yun Zhi is Bu Yu Taoist's eldest disciple, with unknown cultivation. Bu Yu Taoist didn't want Yun Zhi to hold power for long and overshadow him, so he made his youngest disciple Lu Yang the acting sect master."

The national teacher sneered: "You see things too superficially. Lu Yang is just a Golden Elixir stage cultivator; how could he compete for power with his senior sister? This is clearly Seek Tao Sect anticipating my move against Lu Yang and making him the acting sect master in advance to protect him!"

"Let me ask you, did Lu Yang become the acting sect master after returning from Hanshui City?"

The subordinate was amazed and admired the national teacher even more: "Sir, you are wise. That Lu Yang indeed became the acting sect master after returning from Hanshui City!"

They were willing to follow the national teacher because of his unparalleled talent and flawless calculations!

The national teacher showed a knowing expression: "Hmph, there are no such coincidences in the world; there's always a scheme behind it."

"Then this Lu Yang..."

"Kill! He must be killed!"

"Just a mere Seek Tao Sect, even if they anticipate Great Yu's retaliation, so what? Can they really protect a small Golden Elixir stage cultivator?"

"I want Seek Tao Sect to know, and the world to know, that in the face of absolute power, any scheme is worthless!"

The subordinate was overjoyed, already imagining the scene where they killed Lu Yang, and Seek Tao Sect was left stunned, furious but helpless!

"I also found out that Seek Tao Sect will hold a sect celebration in two months, celebrating the 120,000th anniversary of its founding. They will invite many forces, and we can take the opportunity to infiltrate!"

Seek Tao Sect's defenses were tight, and entry and exit were strictly controlled. Only during such large events would they slightly relax.

"Is that so." The national teacher's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his lips, "It seems fate truly favors Great Yu."

"Seek Tao Sect's 120,000th anniversary should be its end."

He casually threw out a sentence, sentencing Seek Tao Sect to death.

If they couldn't even deal with a mere Seek Tao Sect, how could Great Yu talk about restoration?

...

At this moment, Lu Yang had no idea he had been targeted by the national teacher of Great Yu and was on the must-kill list.

In fact, this was a misunderstanding caused by information asymmetry.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the Qingzhou Festival, the Catastrophe Honored One could have escaped but was defeated by the eldest senior sister summoned by Lu Yang.

In Hanshui City, Wu Youdao and his two companions were about to obtain the power of a nation's fate but were stopped by the Immortal Fairy in Lu Yang's body, who also captured Wu Youdao and his companions.

In Dingxin City, the paper crane flying towards Bu Yu Taoist was written by Lu Yang.

If the national teacher of Great Yu knew that these three events were all related to Lu Yang, Lu Yang would have been on the must-kill list long ago, not just today.

Even if Lu Yang knew he was on the must-kill list, he wouldn't care much.

He had more important things to deal with now.

"Eldest senior sister, you mean I, as the acting sect master, have to go to the palace for a meeting?"

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
