After gathering intelligence from the palace's servants, Lauda Tree set off with great enthusiasm.

Lao Dashu really wanted to get rid of someone like Dongfang Yan as soon as possible.

Wu Er, who went along, felt that something interesting was bound to happen this time.

However interesting it may be, you still need to spend some time taking care of Lauda Tree.

Otherwise, this disciple, whose cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage but who has an unusual fondness for setting ambitious goals, might suddenly die at any time.

Dongfang Yan was easy to find. Perhaps he thought that no one in this mortal city could threaten him, so he didn't bother to hide and actually stayed at an inn.

By the way, apart from the landlady, all the other staff at this inn—waiters, cooks, and accountants—were killed.

Dongfang Yan's infamy is now known to everyone; just ask any passerby and they'll know where this unfortunate inn is.

Upon arriving at the inn, Laodashu began to call out.

"That heretical cultivator, come out and face your death!"

Because of Wu Er, their whereabouts were kept secret, so Dongfang Yan didn't notice in advance.

"What!"

A sound came from inside the inn, and then Dongfang Yan came out.

"I never expected there to be such a master; I didn't even notice!"

Dongfang Yan's entrance was still incredibly pretentious; he flicked his black robe and then created his own special effects.

When Lauda Tree saw Dongfang Yan, he was immediately stunned.

"What! It's...you!"

Upon seeing Dongfang Yan, Lao Dashu felt a surge of fear. This fear caused his chin to tremble, and his speech became stammering.

"What bad luck! What terrible bad luck!"

Before Lao Dashu even became a disciple of Pengshan Sect, he was repeatedly beaten and chased by Dongfang Yan, so naturally he had some psychological trauma.

But seeing it today brought that fear back into my heart.

Fear gripped Laudashu's heart, and he took a step back, his initial enthusiasm cooling considerably.

Seeing the behavior of his sect's disciples, Wu Er thought to himself: Shameful!

"Who are you?" Dongfang Yan also took a closer look at Lao Dashu. "So it's you!"

Suddenly, Dongfang Yan's face lit up with joy, and he pointed at Lao Dashu, saying, "I've finally found you! You're the one who stole my opportunity! Well, now that I've met you, I'm going to act on behalf of Heaven!"

Anyone with common sense knows that he robbed Lauda Tree.

Even so, Dongfang Yan still spoke such righteous and awe-inspiring words.

Then Dongfang Yan drew his sword, which was clearly different from the one he had seen last time; it had obviously been upgraded.

This is very much like the main character; opportunities keep coming, equipment keeps coming, and various magical treasures can be upgraded very quickly.

"You thief who stole my opportunity, you will surely die today!"

Dongfang Yan shouted again, and then thrust out his sword.

Not only had his equipment been upgraded, but he was also stronger than when they last met, and the power of his sword strike had increased considerably.

Of course, for Wu Er, it was no different from scratching an itch.

However, not everyone is like Wu Er. Look, there's also a terrified Lauda Tree standing next to him.

This Lauda Tree's cultivation level is low, and its reaction is also slow.

Therefore, according to common sense, Laodashu should not have been able to dodge Dongfang Yan's sword strike.

"That's... embarrassing."

Fortunately, Wu Er was there, so Lao Dashu wouldn't have suffered a setback.

Wu Er reacted quickly, suddenly crouching down and sweeping his leg at Lao Dashu, causing Lao Dashu to fall to the ground.

When the Lauda tree suddenly arrived, Dongfang Yan's sword missed its mark.

Although the sword didn't hit directly, a small portion of the released sword energy still managed to leave a bloody mark on Lauda's face.

Most of the remaining sword energy from that strike was diverted elsewhere along the tip of the sword.

The result was obvious: many stone bricks on the ground were damaged, and several houses collapsed.

Fortunately, the mortals all knew that Dongfang Yan was a plague god in this area, so none of them dared to approach the inn.

Therefore, Dongfang Yan's sword strike only caused some damage to public property and did not result in any casualties.

After his sword missed, Dongfang Yan exclaimed, "You actually dodged it? What kind of luck is that!"

It's worth mentioning here that certain events involving Wu Er created a serious obstacle between Dongfang Yan and Lao Dashu.

The main reason for using it was that Wu Er didn't want to reveal his identity and wanted to play a little longer, so he used this spell.

The general effect of this spell is that unless Wu Er does something big, the two of them will ignore him on their own.

Therefore, Dongfang Yan did not see Wu Er's movements and thought that Lao Dashu was lucky and only dodged the sword by falling down.

"Take this sword!"

Then Dongfang Yan thrust his sword down again. Because the Lauda tree was lying on the ground, this sword strike was also very difficult to dodge.

Wu Er frowned, then reached out and picked up a broken stone brick from the ground.

"I'll throw a brick at you!"

Wu Er threw the stone brick with force, and it flew out.

Because of the spiritual energy boost, the brick was exceptionally accurate, hitting Dongfang Yan squarely on the head.

Of course, this brick is also quite powerful.

If an immortal hits someone with a brick, how could the power be small?

Even if you're a Nascent Soul cultivator with a head of bronze and bones of iron, being hit by a brick like this would leave you dizzy and disoriented.

Unfortunately, this brick was an ordinary object, and its power was limited, so it only knocked Dongfang Yan unconscious for a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Er picked up the Lauda tree next to him and disappeared in a flash.
