Chapter 241: Yun Wanshang: Could it be that he possesses a peerless Taoist body?
“Lu Daoyou, we, the Law Enforcement Hall, have verified and investigated your situation, and there are no issues; it complies with the rules.”
“So, I’ll trouble you to make a trip. Regarding your establishment of a Family and the registration and filing, I will notify the Hall of Records to process it for you as quickly as possible.”
Yan Wuyun arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall and spoke to Lu Changsheng.
Due to being punished to go to Xuanjin Cave to reflect for three years, his Face carried a hint of bitterness, and his previous smile was gone.
“Hmm? That’s it?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, surprised, upon hearing this.
Yan Wuyun’s attitude just now had already felt strange and off to him.
Now, with this back and forth, he found it hard to believe there were no issues in between.
“Great Elder, Lu heard that someone reported me for forcibly seizing and plundering other families’ spiritual lands. May I ask who made the report?”
Lu Changsheng asked.
“This…”
Yan Wuyun’s Face stiffened upon hearing this.
It wouldn’t be good to say that his own Sect Elder was involved in favoritism and malpractice.
Moreover, he himself was also involved.
His mouth twitched slightly as he said, “Lu Daoyou, this kind of matter is confidential and will not be disclosed to the public.”
“However, our Qingyun Sect will punish such unverified and baseless reports, please rest assured, Lu Daoyou.”
Yan Wuyun spoke, his voice somewhat bitter.
“Alright, thank you for your trouble, Great Elder.”
Hearing this and seeing the other party’s expression, Lu Changsheng did not press further.
He roughly guessed that someone within the Qingyun Sect had reported him.
But something must have happened during the process.
Adopting the idea that it’s better to have one less trouble than one more, Lu Changsheng was too lazy to dwell on it and planned to ask Xiao Xiyue about it later.
“Chu Tiange, Zhang Tieyun, send Lu Daoyou to the Guest Reception Courtyard to rest.”
Seeing that Lu Changsheng wasn’t relying on his connections to cause trouble, Yan Wuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Lu Changsheng would be like inviting a god is easy, but sending them away is hard.
He immediately had Chu Tiange and the other person escort Lu Changsheng away.
“Lu Daoyou, please.”
Chu Tiange and the other person, who had been somewhat arrogant, now had a completely different attitude towards Lu Changsheng.
They were also wondering who exactly Lu Changsheng was.
How could he make their Great Elder so polite?
Thinking of Yan Wuyun going back and forth in the Law Enforcement Hall, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat, and a faint guess emerged, causing a storm in their minds, finding it hard to believe.
“Okay, thank you both for your trouble.”
Lu Changsheng heard this, politely cupped his hands, and left the Law Enforcement Hall with them.
Although their attitude wasn’t great just now, they were, after all, law enforcement personnel.
What kind of good attitude could he expect from such people?
At the same time.
At the highest point of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Yun Wanchang, in a palace dress, looked graceful and noble, gazing down at Lu Changsheng, who was walking out of the Law Enforcement Hall with Chu Tiange and the other person.
“Whoosh!”
An unassuming eyeball appeared.
“Discernment!”
Yun Wanchang formed hand seals, causing the eyeball to glow, with ripples flowing, presenting a golden light that illuminated Lu Changsheng’s figure.
“This…”
Through the golden eyeball, after discerning through Lu Changsheng’s Dust-Blending Jade, Yun Wanchang’s beautiful Face revealed a look of shock.
She had thought about it again and again, always feeling that Lu Changsheng had a problem.
It was hard to believe that an 8th Grade Spiritual Root could achieve so much in just a few years.
So, she wanted to use the Void-Breaking Golden Pupils to check Lu Changsheng’s situation.
To confirm whether he had Cultivated the Demonic Path or Evil Path.
If he truly had Cultivated the Demonic Path or Evil Path, engaging in yin-harvesting and yang-replenishing acts, then she would not be merciless.
But with this look, she was completely stunned.
Through the Discernment Golden Pupils, she saw Lu Changsheng’s Physical Body flowing with precious light, his Qi and blood vigorous.
His Dharma power was righteous and grand, revealing a sharp and domineering, unparalleled might!
“How is this possible? Both Dharma and Physical Body Cultivation, both have Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!”
“Moreover, his Cultivation Foundation is profound, and his Dharma power aura is at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment!”
Yun Wanchang was completely shocked looking at Lu Changsheng’s situation.
Eight years ago, Lu Changsheng Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
Eight years later, he had already Breakthrough from the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment!?
And he was also a Dual Cultivator of Dharma and Physical Body!
If Lu Changsheng had a Heavenly Spiritual Root or Earthly Spiritual Root, she could still understand.
But she clearly remembered that Lu Changsheng had an 8th Grade Spiritual Root.
“Could it be that he possesses a top-tier Spiritual Body, or even a peerless Dao Body!?”
Yun Wanchang immediately guessed in her heart.
Aside from a top-tier Spiritual Body, or the legendary Dao Body, she truly couldn’t imagine how a Low Grade Spiritual Root could have such a Cultivation speed.
Especially since the other party was also indulging in matters of men and women all day long.
Although he might have obtained an Opportunity.
But what kind of Opportunity could allow an 8th Grade Spiritual Root to have such a growth rate in just a few years!
“Wait, Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment!?”
At this moment, Yun Wanchang’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, suddenly remembering something.
Her eldest Disciple, Chu Qingyi, once went out on a mission to investigate a Demonic Path incident.
During the process, she was pursued by the Xiahou Family and poisoned by corpse venom.
During that time, she was rescued by a Loose Cultivator named Han Li.
As her Master, she naturally knew about this matter.
At that time, she also looked into the information of this Loose Cultivator Han Li, knowing that he was at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and a friend of her Disciple Xiao Xiyue.
Now, seeing Lu Changsheng’s Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, and thinking of Lu Changsheng’s grand, domineering, and sharp Dharma power aura, she immediately suspected that this Loose Cultivator Han Li was very likely Lu Changsheng!
“Lu Changsheng went out for Foundation Establishment, leaving for a year and a half.”
“This time perfectly matches when Qingyi had her accident, so Lu Changsheng’s trip out was very likely to be an Incarnation of the Loose Cultivator Han Li, taking the azure cloud spirit ship to Nine Heavens Immortal City.”
Yun Wanchang murmured in her heart, almost certain that this Loose Cultivator Han Li was Lu Changsheng.
At this moment, she was completely bewildered.
She never expected that Lu Changsheng not only had a connection with her but also with her Disciple Xiao Xiyue.
He also had a life-saving grace towards her eldest Disciple, Chu Qingyi.
“What kind of karma is this!”
Yun Wanchang’s emotions surged, indescribable.
She herself had been afflicted by the Red Phoenix Karmic Fire, and it was only because of Lu Changsheng that she was able to resolve it and save her life.
Her Junior Disciple, Xiao Xiyue, Cultivated the Supreme Emotion Severing Art, and because of Lu Changsheng, she overcame her Inner Demon Tribulation and completed her Dao Foundation.
Her eldest Disciple, Chu Qingyi, was actually rescued by Lu Changsheng when she was on an outside mission and her life was in danger.
This!
This!
This!
“No, I must make Qingyi have less contact with this person. No, absolutely must not let Qingyi have any contact with this scoundrel!”
Yun Wanchang’s beautiful eyes showed a resolute expression.
Chu Qingyi had been adopted by her since childhood, with a clear Sword Heart, devoted solely to the sword.
Although her Sword Heart made her insightful in judging people and matters, in some areas, she was very naive.
She clearly remembered that Chu Qingyi had once told her that the Sword Qi of the Loose Cultivator named Han Li actually resonated somewhat with her Sword Heart and the Qingyun Sword Art!
At that time, she hadn’t paid much attention.
She felt that if the other party had such Sword Dao talent and could resonate with her Disciple’s Sword Heart, it would be beneficial for Chu Qingyi if they communicated more.
But now, she immediately dismissed that idea!
She was truly afraid that her Disciple would get involved with Lu Changsheng and have some emotional entanglement.
If Chu Qingyi were to get entangled with Lu Changsheng again, she, as her Master, wouldn’t know how to handle it!
“Sigh, what a mess.”
Yun Wanchang felt an inexplicable annoyance in her heart.
She thought about whether to just kill Lu Changsheng with one sword strike, so she wouldn’t have to worry about such matters.
However, she only thought about such a thing.
Not to mention her inexplicable entanglement with Lu Changsheng.
Now, the other party had also saved her eldest Disciple’s life.
Although Immortal Master Chiyan had given Lu Changsheng a qingyun token.
But in her opinion, how could a qingyun token compare to the preciousness of her Disciple’s life?
“Hmm?”
As Lu Changsheng walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall, he felt a faint, almost imperceptible stirring.
It was as if someone was observing him.
Although he didn’t feel it clearly, he always chose to believe such things rather than not.
“Someone must have been observing me just now!”
Lu Changsheng was certain in his heart.
His Divine Sense had already reached the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.
Such a faint, almost imperceptible sensation could not be wrong!
“To be able to make it difficult for me to detect, it must be a Core Formation True Person.”
“Core Formation True Person, wait, could it be Xiao Xiyue’s Master?”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, and it was as if an electric current flashed through his mind, as he seemed to understand what had just happened.
The events in the Law Enforcement Hall just now felt very strange and off to him.
That Great Elder’s attitude towards him was definitely problematic!
But he couldn’t figure out what was going on.
He hadn’t asked Xiao Xiyue for help.
Nor had he taken out the qingyun token.
How could the other party’s attitude be so contradictory before and after?
But if it was related to Xiao Xiyue’s Master, Immortal Master Caiyun, then it made sense.
If this Immortal Master Caiyun happened to be in the Law Enforcement Hall, recognized him, or rather, just knew him, the problem would naturally be resolved.
He knew that there were only eight Core Formation True Persons on the surface in this Qingyun Sect.
From this number, one could tell the status of Core Formation True Persons in the Qingyun Sect!
A moment later.
“Lu Daoyou, I apologize for my previous rudeness. Please don’t take offense.”
“Once your registration and filing are completed, someone will come to notify you.”
Chu Tiange and the other person escorted Lu Changsheng to a small courtyard with a waterside pavilion, asking him to wait there patiently.
“Thank you both for your trouble.”
Lu Changsheng heard this and cupped his hands.
He thought to himself, this Qingyun Sect.
It clearly had places for guests and reception.
But when he came to the Qingyun Sect before to register and report, there wasn’t even a reception, he was just told to wait outside the mountain gate.
“You’re too kind, Lu Daoyou.”
Chu Tiange’s Face was no longer so cold, and he cupped his hands as he spoke.
After speaking, he asked Lu Changsheng, “Lu Daoyou, have you ever offended Elder Meng?”
“Offended Elder Meng?”
Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised to hear this, not knowing what the other party meant.
“It’s Elder Meng Xiangu.”
Chu Tiange continued.
He thought of his previous guess, so he hinted, trying to befriend Lu Changsheng.
“Elder Meng Xiangu.”
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, having never heard this name before.
But the next moment, his heart skipped a beat.
He remembered that he had once killed a Qingyun Sect Disciple named Meng Yibai.
That person had a False Core Elder in the Qingyun Sect.
Since so many years had passed, he had almost forgotten about this matter.
Now, hearing of an Elder with the surname Meng, he immediately recalled it.
He suspected that this Elder Meng Xiangu was Meng Yibai’s Elder.
“Hehe, we still have things to do, so we’ll take our leave first.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s expression, Chu Tiange immediately chuckled and bid farewell.
“Thank you both.”
Lu Changsheng knew that the other party was hinting that it was this Elder Meng Xiangu who reported him.
But he still couldn’t figure out how this Meng Xiangu suspected him.
If the other party suspected him, why wait until now to act against him?
“Could it be that my actions this time caught the attention of this Elder Meng?”
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, pondering.
But he didn’t feel that his actions of seizing Bihu Mountain this time had any connection with Meng Yibai’s matter.
“Forget it, I’ll think about it when I go back and ask Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue.”
After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly, planning to analyze it later when he returned.
At the same time.
Yan Wuyun, wearing a jade crown and a black robe, with a stern Face, arrived at the Hall of Records to find Meng Xiangu.
“Elder Yan, what is it?”
Meng Xiangu saw Yan Wuyun, thinking that the other party had come to tell her that Lu Changsheng’s matter had been handled.
She thought to herself that the other party’s efficiency was indeed commendable.
“Elder Meng, I have already reported to the Hall Master about your secret dealings with me!”
“Therefore, the Hall Master has a decree!”
“Elder Meng Xiangu of the Hall of Records, as a Sect Elder, has engaged in favoritism and malpractice, using her Elder authority for secret dealings and framing others, and is hereby sentenced to ten years in Xuanjin Cave for quiet reflection!”
Yan Wuyun said with a stern Face and a clear voice.
“What, Elder Yan, you can’t speak nonsense!”
Meng Xiangu’s Face sank upon hearing this, and she suddenly stood up.
The several Disciples of the Hall of Records nearby were all surprised by this scene, looking at each other.
Not long ago, this Elder Meng Xiangu had reprimanded and stated that Lu Changsheng openly violated the rules by seizing and occupying other people’s spiritual lands.
But now, people from the Law Enforcement Hall came to arrest Meng Xiangu, stating that she had engaged in secret dealings.
What the hell is this?
The Qingyun Sect Disciples who came to the Hall of Records to handle affairs were also bewildered by this scene, feeling that today’s events were truly novel.
“The Hall Master’s decree is here, Elder Meng, do you intend to resist law enforcement!”
Yan Wuyun took out a law enforcement token and said coldly.
Although he was only at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivation, with the Sect’s decree, he naturally had no fear of Meng Xiangu.
He didn’t believe that Meng Xiangu would dare to act against him in the Sect and defy the decree!
“Hall Master’s decree, Immortal Master Caiyun…”
Meng Xiangu’s Face turned gloomy and ugly as she saw the decree in Yan Wuyun’s hand.
She never expected that her report against Lu Changsheng to the Law Enforcement Hall would actually be known by Yun Wanchang.
And that Yun Wanchang would directly issue an order to have her sent to Xuanjin Cave.
She was now over two hundred years old, with only about thirty to forty years of life left.
Once she was sent to Xuanjin Cave for ten years, it would not only waste ten years of time.
Given her current physical condition, she might even lose several years of her lifespan.
“Meng Xiangu, accept the order!”
Yan Wuyun shouted.
Because of Meng Xiangu’s matter, he was also sent to Xuanjin Cave for three years, so he was very displeased with Meng Xiangu and no longer polite.
If the other party truly dared to defy the order, the crime would be aggravated, and she could be directly sent to Xuanjin Cave for thirty years!
“Meng Xiangu, accepting the order.”
Meng Xiangu took a deep breath and responded.
Although she didn’t know why Yun Wanchang would pay attention to this matter.
But now, with the matter being noticed by Yun Wanchang and with Yan Wuyun as a witness, she could only choose to plead guilty.
Because she had indeed privately sought Yan Wuyun to ask for his help.
Therefore, let alone Yun Wanchang only sending her to Xuanjin Cave for ten years.
Even if the other party punished her more severely, she had no choice but to accept it.
Although she was a False Core Immortal Master and an Elder of the Hall of Records.
Her identity, strength, and status were simply not enough in front of Yun Wanchang, the Master of Caiyun Peak and the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Perhaps, the difference in their identities and statuses didn’t seem large.
But this small difference was like the difference between a True Core and a False Core, with an unbridgeable chasm!
Core Formation has nine grades. Even a Low Grade flawed Core is only weaker in Dharma power, potential, and Foundation than a Medium Grade True Core and a High Grade Golden Core.
Between them, at least there is an acknowledgment that they are all Core Formation cultivators.
But a False Core, in the eyes of some high-level Cultivators, is not considered a Core Formation True Person at all.
You, someone who relies on external objects to condense a False Core, with your path cut off and only three hundred years of lifespan, are you worthy of being compared with me?
If they give you Face, they call you Immortal Master or Fellow Daoist.
If they don’t give you Face, they directly call you Junior.
This was also the reason why Meng Xiangu, despite being a False Core Immortal Master and an Outer Sect Elder of the Qingyun Sect, was wary of Xiao Xiyue.
Because the other party was not only a Core Disciple of the Qingyun Sect.
But also the Disciple of Immortal Master Caiyun!
“In that case, Elder Meng, please.”
Yan Wuyun said upon seeing this.
After making a gesture of invitation, Yan Wuyun spoke to a Disciple of the Hall of Records nearby.
He instructed them to quickly process a matter concerning someone named Lu Changsheng.
After processing it, they were to send it to the Guest Reception Courtyard.
“Lu Changsheng?”
The several Disciples of the Hall of Records were shocked to hear this.
They knew that Meng Xiangu had gone to report this Lu Changsheng.
But at this moment, Meng Xiangu was sent to Xuanjin Cave, and Yan Wuyun was actually urging them to quickly process Lu Changsheng’s matter.
Who exactly was this Lu Changsheng!
Everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
“Okay, Senior Brother Yan, I will definitely process it as quickly as possible.”
This Disciple of the Hall of Records immediately said upon hearing this.
“Hmm.”
Yan Wuyun heard this, said no more, and took Meng Xiangu to Xuanjin Cave.
