At this moment,

Lin Jiu was immediately relieved; the threat of death from before had long since dissipated and was no longer present.

With his master around, this so-called Dao Ancestor is nothing at all; his master would absolutely crush him!

And at this moment,

Dao Ancestor Lu Zi's expression also changed slightly. Although there was no formal confrontation, his attack was easily neutralized, which showed that Lu Chuan's cultivation was extraordinary.

Furthermore, Dao Ancestor Lü Zi noticed some clues in Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan seems to... not belong to this world, but come from outside the realm.

In an instant,

Dao Ancestor Lü Zi's Tong Kong couldn't help but shrink back slightly. He couldn't judge for sure yet. If Lu Chuan really came from outside the realm and could travel through the various worlds, his cultivation level must be above his.

We must not act rashly!

Be careful! Be extremely careful!

immediately,

Dao Ancestor Lü Zi slowly spoke, "Your appearance is indeed somewhat unfamiliar. With your cultivation level, you should not be in this lower realm, and I have never seen you in the upper realm before. May I ask your name, Dao Tong?"

"Lu Chuan of the Jie Sect!"

After saying that,

Dao Ancestor Lü Zi's mind raced, searching for all information about the Jie Sect and Lu Chuan. He had existed since the beginning of time, but had never heard of the Jie Sect or Lu Chuan.

Out of bounds!

Lu Chuan must be from outside this realm. At this moment, Dao Ancestor Lü Zi had basically concluded that Lu Chuan was definitely not from this realm.

With these thoughts in mind,

Dao Ancestor Lü Zi smiled kindly and said, "In the end, it was just a fight between two juniors. I was just confused by my concern and shouldn't have intervened. I was wrong to do this, please forgive me!"

Upon hearing this,

All the followers: ⊙﹏⊙!

Holy crap?!

This development is quite unexpected! The Dao Ancestor... has backed down?!

Compared to the Dao Ancestor, their eyesight was worlds apart. The fact that the Dao Ancestor could react like this clearly showed that he had seen Lu Chuan's extraordinary abilities. Just how high was Lu Chuan's cultivation that he could make the Dao Ancestor react in this way?

Logically speaking, the current Dao Ancestor has already reached the pinnacle of the entire world, or even higher, higher than the Dao Ancestor. Wouldn't Lu Chuan have already transcended?

this……!

No wonder, no wonder Lin Jiu and Lu Chuan were so confident before, their strength is truly evident.

So what if he's the Dao Ancestor? He's no match for him at all!

Looks like they won't have to turn into zombies!

At this time,

Lu Chuan looked at Dao Ancestor Lü Zi in front of him and smiled faintly. This guy really has lived a long time; the longer he lives, the more shrewd and cautious he becomes.

That's normal. The higher the position, the more cautious one should be, as if standing on the edge of an abyss, rather than becoming arrogant and complacent.

Of course, it's easy to say, but the mindset is completely different depending on one's position. It's not easy to stand at the peak and still be as cautious as if you were facing an abyss.

then,

Lu Chuan slowly said, "From now on, you will follow me as your disciple. What do you think?"

Lu Chuan didn't bother with any preamble and went straight to the point.

If this Dao Ancestor Lü Zi doesn't undergo any extraordinary changes, he's of little use.

The mutation caused by being exposed to the black water allowed him to rise to a higher level, which was somewhat useful to Lin Jiu in the short term.

Of course, this idea is very weak. Whether he exists or not is not important. He is dispensable. But Lu Chuan is giving him a choice because he is pragmatic. If he is unwilling, then he can be killed directly.

Lu Chuan's words also caused Dao Ancestor Lü Zi to pause slightly, his eyes flickering.

This means he's being made to be Lin Jiu's lackey!

He is, after all, a Dao Ancestor, standing at the pinnacle of this world. How could he be a subordinate to a mere child?

Doesn't he have any pride?

However, judging from Lu Chuan's posture, if he is unwilling, he will definitely take action.

Lu Chuan comes from outside the realm, so his cultivation level is naturally extraordinary, definitely above his, and probably by a lot. If it really comes down to a fight, he has no confidence that he can survive.

Lu Chuan has already transcended this; the difference between them is undoubtedly enormous!

Daoist Master Lü Zi fell silent for a moment, as he made a decision.

at the same time,

The followers of each religion were dumbfounded.

To make the Dao Ancestor a subordinate of Lin Jiu?!

wipe!

This... isn't that a bit too insulting?! How could a dignified Dao Ancestor possibly do that?

That was, after all, the Dao Ancestor. Even if Lu Chuan's cultivation level was indeed one level higher than the Dao Ancestor's, the Dao Ancestor's accumulated foundation over tens of millions of years was no joke!

If it really comes down to a fight to the death, Lu Chuan will definitely not have an easy time either. The Dao Ancestor has already given him a way out, so what's wrong with taking the opportunity?

well!

Lu Chuan is determined to start a battle; he won't be at ease until this battle is fought!

at the same time,

Master Xuan Yang roared in fury, "How dare you! My master is..."

"Shut up!"

Before Xuan Yang Zhenren could finish speaking, Dao Zu Lü Zi interrupted him.

Xuan Yang Zhenren: ? ? ?

Master, I... I'm trying to protect you. Is this really appropriate?

In all these years, when have you ever yelled at me like that before?

Sure enough, love can fade, right?!

Daoist Ancestor Lü Zi: ⊙﹏⊙! ?

Get out!

"Please don't be offended by my disciple's ignorance!" Dao Ancestor Lu Zi hurriedly said. He truly loved his disciple Xuan Yang and naturally didn't want Xuan Yang to get into trouble because of his loose tongue.

He paused for a moment.

Daoist Master Lü Zi looked at Lu Chuan and asked, "What if I don't want to?!"

"Kill!" Lu Chuan uttered only this one word, without the slightest hint of tact.

Upon hearing this,

Daoist Master Lü Zi's lips twitched slightly. "You could at least have put it more tactfully!"

You're putting me in a difficult position!

We're all in this together, everyone has some pride. If I surrender now, wouldn't I just become a laughingstock?

However, if Lu Chuan really makes a move, then... his fate will inevitably be to perish.

His instinct, driven by a will to survive, told him that Lu Chuan's claim of killing him was absolutely true.

Life or face, choose one!

wipe!

It's really a dilemma. If I had known in the first place that I shouldn't have become this so-called Dao Ancestor, I wouldn't have cared about saving face.

at the same time,

The members of each sect: "...!"

Is he really that audacious? Lu Chuan isn't giving Dao Ancestor any face at all!

Is this forcing the Dao Ancestor into a battle?!

At least put it more tactfully. After all, he is the Dao Ancestor. Wouldn't it save the fight by giving him a way out?

Tsk!

Now it all depends on what the Dao Ancestor chooses. There's a high probability that a battle will be inevitable. Do they really think the Dao Ancestor is made of clay?

After all, the Dao Ancestor has accumulated over tens of millions of years, and his foundation is incredibly profound. If they fight to the death with the intention of mutual destruction, even if Lu Chuan's cultivation is better than the Dao Ancestor's, he will still suffer a heavy blow. At that time, the black water will be raging, and Lu Chuan will probably not be able to escape either. Furthermore, even if Lu Chuan has the means to survive, wouldn't they suffer the consequences?

grass!

They really don't treat them like human beings!

At this point, Dao Ancestor Lü Zi had already made a choice between life and face.

In his view, as the Dao Ancestor, he must adhere to his bottom line. Even a mortal's bottom line cannot be shaken, let alone his!
