Chapter 2207.1: Evidence of Possession

A massive army bore down on Dark City outside the city walls. One million cultivators of golden core and above assembled into a massive battle formation that completely cut off the capital. A man emanating a terrifying aura stood in the air over the army.

“A soul separation cultivator?” Lu Yun looked solemnly at several others hovering in the sky.

“Not only that, but there are also several immortals hidden within the army,” Lu Tianling breathed out heavily. “It’s thanks to your boundary that Dark City hasn’t fallen already.”

The gray jiao and Terra Demon were in seclusion to refine the Shennong Life Restoring Pill; they were yet to emerge. It was a pill greater than ninth rank immortal pills. As such, it wasn’t something that the two could easily digest at their current stage.

But once they succeeded, their strength would improve on a quantitative level and they would no longer fear high level immortals from the Origin Sect.

“Situ Wenxian and Lu Tianling, the Ouyang family’s Ouyang Shengxiang is betrothed to this crown prince. Do you think nothing of Dark Orchid Empire to stand in our way at every possible turn?” Dressed in white robes, Crown Prince Wang Song stood on a flying treasure and hovered over the army. His bearing was extraordinary and his aura indicated initial soul projection.

“If the crown prince is here to welcome his bride, why the army?” Lu Tianling barked with laughter before the emperor could respond.

“Hahahaha!!” Wang Song sneered back. “Lu Tianling, you covet Ouyang Shengxiang’s connate fragrance constitution and want to snatch her for your trash grandson. Do you think this matter has gone undetected?”

“Oh?” Lu Tianling smirked at the crown prince.

“This old man can bear witness!” An elder darted out of the Dark Orchid army. It was the one that Lu Yun had met at the Ouyang Clan—Ouyang Biegui. He’d left the capital after Lu Youya’s death and escaped the purge of Dark City. To think that he’d reappear at this time!

“Lu Tianling, you savage! How would the family not know about your attempt to claim the Ouyang’s connate fragrance constitution?” Ouyang Biegui bit off his words as he glared heatedly at Lu Tianling on the city walls. Hate filled his tone and he seemed ready to rip the other to pieces through the sheer force of his stare.

“Grandpa… you saved this guy’s life before, didn’t you?” Lu Yun turned merrily to his grandfather. He didn’t bother to hush his voice and nearly everyone heard him since those present were of a high cultivation.

“Junior, I am speaking to your family elder! What right do you have to interrupt!” A cruel glint shone in Ouyang Biegui’s eyes when he heard Lu Yun.

“By the right that this young master can beat you so badly that you won’t be able to tell which direction the sun is shining from!” Lu Yun answered promptly.

“You!” Ouyang Biegui’s chest heaved as he forced down his anger.

“What about me?” Lu Yun curled his lip. “A dog will wag its tail at its savior, but an old dog like you bites your benefactor!”

“Do you not dare admit to what you’ve done, Lu Tianling, and send a brat to stir up the waters?!” Ouyang Biegui ignored Lu Yun and bawled at the Lu patriarch.

“Heh heh heh…” Lu Tianling chuckled, contempt in his eyes. Ouyang Biegui suddenly felt that he’d punched a ball of cotton.

“Hand over Ouyang Shengxiang, Lu Tianling, and we’ll stand down,” Wang Song said expressionlessly.

“Ouyang Shengxian? She’s an Ouyang, so do whatever you’d like, Your Highness.” Lu Tianling shrugged carelessly.

“Lu Tianling!” A tragic voice rang out from Dark City. “Hand over my sister!!”

Whoosh!

A figure appeared on the ramparts. “You old dog, you took my sister and imprisoned my family! You’re completely crazy!”

It was Ouyang Shengtian. Golden light sparkled around him as he pointed a massive golden spear at Lu Tianling. The young man’s aura raged to the sky and his energy ripples showed that he was a soul separation cultivator.

“You seek death!” Lu Yun exploded at hearing someone insult his grandfather. He was never lucky enough to have familial ties in his reincarnations, so he quite valued the ones he had in this life. It also meant that he very much held double standards.

He could call someone an old dog, but that could never be used on his grandfather!

A red flame rose around him as he pounced on the Ouyang genius.

“Do you really think I can’t beat you, Lu Yun?!” Ruthlessness blossomed in Ouyang Shengtian’s eyes. He’d stayed put all this time due to fear of Terra Demon. But with the million strong army outside the city walls and numerous immortals mixed in among them, Dark City wouldn’t be able to withstand the enemy even with a powerful boundary.

Not to mention, Terra Demon had vanished for the past couple of days. According to the Lu servants, he was in closed door cultivation to recover from old wounds.

Hence, there was nothing holding Ouyang Shengtian back anymore and he stepped forward into the light. All he needed to do was to capture this impudent brat and force Lu Tianling to act with caution. The fight would be half won then.

Humm!

Ouyang Shengtian brandished the golden spear and thrust it at Lu Yun’s chest with a burst of astounding aura.

“Master!” Situ Wenxian looked on nervously. The Ouyang genius had surreptitiously reached soul separation with neither him nor Lu Tianling realizing it! That made Ouyang Shengtian a latent Detonation Talisman within the capital. He was extremely dangerous once he went off!

“Don’t worry, he’s not worthy of being Yun’er’s opponent.” Lu Tianling waved off the Darklake emperor.

Heavyweights from the nation’s clans stood on the city walls. Of the seven great families originally in the capital, there were only the Yu, Zhao, and Lu Clans left. The Ouyangs were surrounded by the Hidden Dragons and there was nothing that their remaining nascent soul elders could do against imperial guards that were at least soul projection. At the same time, there was no sign of Ouyang Shenghe, Ouyang Shengmu, and Ouyang Shengxiang to be seen.

BAM!

Lu Yun and Ouyang Shengtian crashed into each other over the skies of Dark City. Their respective rays of gold and red brilliance threw off scintillating radiance so bright that cultivators below averted their eyes, unable to look directly at the light.

“This kid secretly broke through to soul projection after sleeping for ten days…” Lu Tianling smiled as he watched his grandson grapple with Ouyang Shengtian.

“He is indeed master’s grandson! This speed of cultivation would be unmatched even in Great Xia, wouldn’t it?” Situ Wenxian’s jaw dropped. Even an immortal pill was insufficient to help one advance from seventh level qi refinement to initial soul projection in less than a year and a half.

“Pace of cultivation is not important in Great Xia,” Lu Tianling shook his head. “There, they seek the ultimate peak and full comprehension of a cultivation realm. Some stunning geniuses can easily defeat ordinary soul projection cultivators when they themselves are golden core.”

He was suddenly reminded of Fengxian Wu, the granddaughter of the Fengxian King in Great Xia. She swept away a dozen nascent soul cultivators when she herself was at golden core. To the immortal dynasty, however, she merely possessed a noble background. She wasn’t a stunning genius.

“A golden core genius defeating soul projection cultivators?” Situ Wenxian tilted his head back at the sky. “This Ouyang Shengtian seems to be more than a soul separation cultivator… but the little guy can go toe-to-toe with him…”

Lu Tianling’s smile deepened. Toe-to-toe?

Lu Yun and Ouyang Shengtiang exchanged more than a dozen rounds of blows without a clear victor emerging. The crowd’s eyes went wide while they gaped at the fight. When could soul projection cultivators stand up to soul separation powerhouses??

It would be acceptable if it was a nascent soul paired with a soul projection cultivator, but soul separation was considered an earthly immortal. They could split out their nascent soul to coalesce images of heaven and earth.

Soul projection and soul separation was the first major moat dividing cultivators from each other.

“Not bad, Lu Yun. You’ve improved quite a great deal.” Ouyang Shengtian jerked to a pause and placed his golden spear behind him.

“Whereas you… could do with some improvement. Is this all you can manage after inheriting a wandering immortal’s power?” Lu Yun replied expressionlessly.

“So you never trusted me?” Ouyang Shengtian arched a brow and mentally drew up his guard.

“Someone else’s power is someone else’s power in the end. As strong as you appear, you are without foundations.” Lu Yun couldn’t be bothered to converse more. Immortal Forbidden flashed with crimson sword light that crashed down on the Ouyang genius.

“Hahahaha! My power? Someone else’s power? Whatever can defeat you is absolute power!” Ouyang Shengtian threw his head back with a long peal of laughter, wholly unafraid of Lu Yun’s attack. He brandished his spear into a ray of golden light and directed it at Lu Yun’s sword light. At the same time, he crossed his hands in front of his chest and condensed a spot of golden light in front of him that slowly expanded outward.𝘪𝑛𝘯𝘳𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮

“An image of heaven and earth… one that makes use of a dao weapon!” Situ Wenxian identified solemnly. “The little guy is in trouble now.”
