152.

Lu Cai noticed something. The young man in the air did not change his expression, but the data around him became unusually active.

[Qin Yu: He suddenly became very angry.]

Seeing the group message, Lu Cai sneered. How could he still have the nerve to be angry?

Lu Cai really wanted to go up and confront him at this moment, but because of her original useless nature, even if she recovered her special abilities, she could not control objects or fly.

She had suffered too many losses at the hands of the copy, but this time alone made her furious.

Because of her anger, red threads slowly gathered around her. The red threads were like undercurrents, crashing into the air around her, causing others to sense the abnormality as well.

But Lu Cai didn't care about anything. She thought that if she could break through the limitations of the dungeon, she didn't believe that she couldn't overcome the limitations of this immortal cultivation dungeon!

So what if he was cultivating immortality? It was just a string of numbers in a KB game. Even if he was a god in this world, he couldn't overcome the data limit.

Lu Cai seemed to be in a trance, lost in a kind of selfless silence.

In the sky above, Lu Jue frowned. He could sense a sense of pressure building around him, and he knew it was due to Lu Cai. Her power seemed beyond his imagination.

Overnight, the wind and clouds surged.

Lu Cai looked at the data protecting Lu Jue. The red color completely surrounded the young man in mid-air. At the moment the encirclement was formed, he urged the red data to start biting fiercely.

Lu Jue tilted his head slightly and noticed something. He raised his hand and waved it. Lightning flashed across the sky, splitting the data around him.

"You are a traitor to the Zhengqing Sect. You have betrayed your master and destroyed your ancestors. Today, I will purge your sect—"

Whether it was an illusion, Lu Cai felt a certain excitement when he said "clean up the house." As the mighty thunder bore down upon him, Lu Cai was certain he was not merely excited, but mad.

Lightning flashed, sparks flew, and no living creature in the surrounding area would be spared from the explosion. Suddenly, a crimson barrier intertwined and merged, enveloping the lightning and the woman's frail figure.

The monks who had originally shouted "Exorcise demons and defend the way" were all dumbfounded.

The one who unleashed this devastating thunderbolt was the sect leader they revered as the leader of the righteous path. The one who erected that ten-thousand-foot barrier was the evil demon they wanted to kill.

If they were in such a situation, they would definitely do everything they could to save their opponents. Those who want to bury their opponents with them must also make their opponents taste the pain of death. Since they don't want them to live, they must perish together.

The barrier didn't just block it; it slowly rolled inward, trapping all the lightning. Red permeated the light, and the lightning, colliding in the gradually tightening space, was dyed red.

"My master is a water-based magician, how could he use this thunder-based spell!" Lu Cai's voice broke through the thunder ball, like a sledgehammer, hitting the ears of other cultivators present.

This warning was even more deafening than the previous one.

The monks of the sect looked around, all confused.

Why? Why? No one understood what had gone wrong.

When Lu Jue cut off the data around him, his control and twisting of this copy was weakened.

Lu Cai simply put a choice in front of him: to keep the title of "Head of the Zhengqing Sect" or to keep his "existence" in this copy?

If he wants the title of the head of the sect, he can only allow Lu Cai's data to devour his entire body and soul in this copy. Once the real him leaves this world, Lu Cai will not be able to check his data or correct the errors in the copy. He will be charged with the crime of betraying his teacher and ancestors and being a traitor to the sect and will be sentenced to death.

But he chose his own existence, perhaps to compete with Lu Cai. Accordingly, he discarded the data and his control over the world. With the combined efforts of Lu Cai and Qin Yu, it would only be a matter of time before everyone knew he was a fake.

Lu Cai knew that he didn't care about these things. The position of the head, the existence of a physical body, all of these were nothing to him. It was just that Lu Jue could leave at any time, while Lu Cai and the other players needed to finish this instance before returning to the community.

Revealing his identity might affect the main plot of the dungeon.

She pulled the lightning around her, kneaded it and fused it together, finally condensing it into a ball and throwing it towards the sky.

The figure in the sky didn't dodge. He looked at the approaching ball of lightning, gathered the lightning, and slid down on his long sword. The lightning he held collided with the huge ball of lightning.

The sky and the earth suddenly lit up, the electric ball stopped, and sparks exploded.

In just a moment, a huge ball of electricity smashed towards the ground like a falling meteor.

This ball of lightning didn't seem to change, but Lu Cai could sense that Lu Jue had gathered all his strength into it. He was forcing Lu Cai into a desperate situation.

If Lu Cai could dodge, the players and NPCs on the ground would be killed. If she didn't dodge, it would be a life-or-death gamble.

Is Lu Jue's supernatural power really that terrifying? Isn't he worried about running out of supernatural power and his own life or death being in danger?

But there was no time to think about it now. Lu Cai was thinking about not letting the electric ball fall to the ground. With such power, she could not guarantee that she could completely block it.

Must intercept in mid-air!

When people are anxious, they forget about everything. She felt light, the wind filling her sleeves, and the red light lifted her up.

Now is the time!

Lu Cai gathered all his supernatural energy to the top of his head, holding it up with both hands, and even increased his ascent speed.

The red light and lightning collided violently, as if the world was created. The bright light drowned everything in her eyes, leaving only a blank.

I didn't even feel any pain, and my mind instantly fell into a void.

Then someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.

——

The people on the ground were either shocked or terrified, and Yue Xiaoyan even called out Lu Cai's name in a hurry.

Shi Rukui and Qin Yu first checked the group chat interface in the system and found that the logo representing the group chat had turned gray, and Lu Cai's avatar had also turned gray.

Just now they received a message from Yang Zigui in the group. She said that the sect monks suddenly recovered their memories about the leader of the Zhengqing Sect, only to find out that Gu Xici was not the leader.

Feng Ziyi also revealed the dungeon's plot. Logically, Feng Ziyi was a deceased player, effectively a blacklisted member of the community. Therefore, he wasn't entering the dungeon as a player, but as a boss.

For his own selfish interests, the leader of the Zhengqing Sect attempted to improve his cultivation through unorthodox methods. According to ancient methods, he condensed his sins into a nightmare and cast it into the Broken Abyss.

The Broken Abyss was a massive pit created by evil cultivators who had once wielded their evil magic, to bury the demonic nightmares of their sins. After generations of evil cultivators had poured into it, the demonic nightmares beneath were nearly overflowing.

As the sins of the leader of the Zhengqing Sect became more and more serious, the power of the Demon Nightmare also grew stronger, breaking the balance under the Broken Abyss and the seal left by the ancestors, which led to the current situation.

Gu Xici's impersonation also gave Feng Ziyi an opportunity to explain to everyone.

He told the monks of the sect that Gu Xici was a sealed ancestor of the Zhengqing Sect. Because he practiced evil methods and became possessed, he had been confined to a cave in seclusion in the back mountain of the Zhengqing Sect.

Gu Xici used some tricks to replace Feng Ziyi, trying to find a way to suppress his evil nature, and even wanted to kill Feng Ziyi to silence him.

Anyway, the entire world of immortal cultivation is shocked by this.

There's actually an evil method that can replace a sect leader! Clearly, the two people are completely different, from their appearance to their aura, and even their names, yet they can still fool everyone!

Just as we were talking about this, the group chat was disconnected.

Everyone looked up and saw the sparks from the explosion in the sky gradually subsiding, the lightning and red mist dissipating in the air, and even the two figures disappeared without a trace.

It's as if they never existed.
