Chapter 366: I Was Not Expelled Because of My High Cultivation
The pressure from the peak of the fusion stage covered the entire event. Most people had never even seen the Nascent Soul stage, so how could they have felt this level of pressure? Countless cultivators' faces turned pale, their bodies swayed, they could not even stand steadily, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Lie down on the ground and increase your contact area with the ground as much as possible!" an official monk shouted, guiding everyone to reduce damage.
Meng Jingzhou, Bai Ming and other three carried spiritual treasures to offset the impact of the pressure from the fusion stage on themselves.
This is a magical treasure that every disciple of the immortal sect has. Meng Jingzhou holds a stone in the shape of the Body Refining Peak, Bai Ming holds a colorful round plate, Lan Ting holds a full moon embroidery, and Yan Tianzhi holds a palm-sized cage... The five major immortal sects each have their own characteristics.
When a disciple of an immortal sect goes out, he represents the sect. If he kneels on the ground under the pressure of a fusion stage disciple, it is a slap in the face of the immortal sect.
Originally, Lu Yang should have a stone in the shape of Tianmen Peak, but he had the Immortal Fairy with him and was not afraid of this level of pressure at all. Even if the Tribulation Period came, he would not be able to suppress Lu Yang with pressure.
"What's going on? Which cultivator in the fusion stage is so desperate that he dares to start a fight here?" Meng Jingzhou was shocked. Traditionally, fighting between cultivators in the fusion stage must not affect civilians, otherwise the people of Daxia would have died long ago.
The battle in the fusion stage is devastating, and the earth is about to fall. Let alone the common people, even those with cultivation cannot withstand it.
"They are not contemporary cultivators in the fusion stage, but ancient cultivators!" Lu Yang learned from the Immortal Fairy that the source of the aura was two ancient cultivators in the fusion stage, one male and one female, both filled with murderous aura.
Bai Ming frowned: "That makes sense."
He pointed at the source of the pressure and said, "There is a secret realm in that direction. Exploring the secret realm is part of this event. Someone must have explored the secret realm and awakened the sleeping ancient monk. The other party is furious and wants to destroy everything."
This is not the first time such a thing has happened. For ancient monks, there is no need to follow today's rules. In their time, those in the fusion stage had supreme power and had the power of life and death.
"What courage!" A roar came from the sky. It was the governor.
In the blink of an eye, the governor appeared above everyone's heads. He held up the seal, and strange energy rose up, dispersing the pressure of the ancient fusion period.
"Huh, what a strange power." The Immortal Fairy was surprised, she had never seen this kind of energy.
Lu Yang, Lan Ting and others also saw this kind of energy for the first time, only Meng Jingzhou knew something.
"This is the power of national destiny," Meng Jingzhou explained.
"I heard from my family that there is a magical power under the Great Xia Dynasty, which is the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty. Every governor and county governor of a large county can temporarily mobilize this power for combat and protection. Because of this, the loss of the ancient fusion period can be minimized every time."
"It's quite interesting." The Immortal Fairy used her fairy consciousness to observe and analyze the power of national destiny. In her opinion, the power mobilized by the governor was insignificant. If the entire Great Xia Dynasty was covered by this power, it would be an extremely terrifying energy, which would be very interesting.
"It's quite creative. There are many strong people in this era besides Yun Yatou."
"How dare you cause trouble right under my nose!" The governor's hair and beard fluttered like an angry lion.
The two ancient fusion-stage men and women were not afraid of the governor. They said in a cold voice: "Daoyou, you are trying to turn the tables. It was obviously your people who woke us up, causing us to wake up early. How can it be us who caused the trouble?"
The male cultivator narrowed his eyes, somewhat fearful of the governor and his seal: "I see that fellow Daoist has reached the perfect state of his soul, and is at the same level as us. He is qualified to fight for the great world, and he should also know how much things have been delayed by waking up my husband and me early. Shouldn't we kill a few people to relieve our anger?"
"Of course not!" Three more people flew in from the horizon, all of them were in the fusion stage.
"Master Mi, Master Zhang, and Dean Hong, you are here." When the governor saw these three people, the pressure was greatly reduced. If he started a war, he might not be able to protect the monks who were participating in the event below.
"They are the deputy leader of the Madness Sect, the deputy Taoist leader of the Chonglou Temple, and the vice-president of the Baihua Academy. These three are all in the middle stage of the fusion!" After being unaffected by the pressure, everyone was able to stand up. A local great cultivator in Qingzhou recognized the identities of these three people and was overjoyed.
The Crazy Sect, Chonglou Temple and Baihua Academy are the local sects in Qingzhou and the organizers of the Qingzhou event.
As per convention, this time they sent deputies from the sect to participate and go through the formalities. They came upon invitation and exchanged their cultivation experiences at the mansion. They had a great time chatting, but they did not expect that two ancient cultivators would suddenly appear.
The two ancient fusion-stage masters saw that the other side had more people and more power, and the governor could use energy that he couldn't understand. If they fought rashly, there might be accidents. "Humph, in that case, for the sake of fellow Taoist, we will not pursue this matter for the time being and withdraw!"
After saying that, the two of them planned to escape.
"Hmph, you want to leave? Stay here!" Letting these two people go would cause endless troubles, so how could the governor let them leave?
The governor and four others were stationed in the four directions of east, south, west and north, surrounding the two ancient monks.
"Aren't you worried about the safety of the people below?" The two ancient monks saw that the governor was different from them and his first priority was to protect the weak monks.
The governor had already made preparations. The four of them nodded and used the power of rules.
The four of them said at the same time: "Let's establish this rule. [This place below 3,000 meters will not be affected by attacks.]"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The highest peak where the Qingzhou event is held is three thousand meters high.
"It's ridiculous! Even if you set the rules, how can you maintain them during the battle? In order to maintain the rules, one of you must be unable to fight!" The female monk sneered. It was impossible for the three of them to leave them and their husband behind.
"Don't bother worrying about this, senior. I can maintain the rules." A voice came from behind Lu Yang, scaring the five of them.
The visitor was wearing an official robe and was looking at the sky with a smile, looking relaxed and comfortable.
"It's you?!" Lan Ting, Bai Ming and Yan Tianzhi were surprised.
"Do you know who this is?" Lu Yang asked in a voice transmission.
"He is a subordinate of the governor. Yesterday evening, I, Senior Brother Bai Ming, and Senior Brother Yan Tianzhi visited the governor. It was this person who invited us into his mansion and arranged for us to stay there."
"I thought he was a minor official, but I didn't expect he was also a cultivator in the Fusion Stage."
The only period that can maintain the rules is the fusion period.
"This is normal. It's impossible that the governor doesn't have even one person in the fusion stage under his command." Meng Jingzhou was not surprised. He was very familiar with this system in the officialdom.
What Lanting and the other two didn't know was that the other party had initially suggested that they live in a cell.
Seeing that Lu Yang was safe, the Immortal Fairy relaxed and yawned: "I thought Yun girl would have to take action, but it seems that there is no need."
Lu Yang frowned, he always felt that things would not be too simple.
When the two people in the fusion stage awakened from the secret realm, how could the government not have conducted a detailed search of the secret realm and failed to discover these two people?
