Long Feicheng, at his residence, was utterly bewildered.
What kind of situation was this!
Were they already going to beat up the Heavenly Master on their very first night at Longhu Mountain?
Brother Yan, are you this bold now? Do Mom and Dad know? Has your malevolence not been completely cleared yet?!
If Long Feicheng were by Yan Shouyi's side now, he might have given him a thumbs-up to "imply" something to Yan Shouyi.
"Don't ask so many questions, opportunities to beat up the Heavenly Master are rare. Hurry over!" Yan Shouyi said.
"Alright... alright!"
Long Feicheng was the type who loved to watch a good show and never minded making trouble. Besides, following Brother Yan was always the right move.
So, without a word, he flew away from Luo Ning's side, transforming into a streak of black light that shot into the sky, heading towards Yan Shouyi's location.
After calling for Long Feicheng, Yan Shouyi's injuries had already recovered significantly.
He "pulled" himself out of the mountain body he was embedded in, then patted the dirt off himself and said to Yu Luming:
"Last time at the Luotian Grand Ceremony, we didn't really fight. I didn't expect we'd have to draw swords today. It seems we're destined for a battle."
Yu Luming nodded slightly, "But I am already the Heavenly Master. Even if you defeat me, you cannot take this position."
"As if I care!" Yan Shouyi sneered. "I am also the leader of the Civil Religion now. Besides, I have a wife and children. Unlike some people, who can only satisfy themselves with magazines."
Yu Luming was taken aback.
His face froze instantly, followed by immense shame, wishing he could find a hole to burrow into.
The secret he had hidden for so many years was discovered by this damned Yan Shouyi!
Moreover, Yu Luming knew Yan Shouyi was skilled at killing with words. Bringing this up now made Yu Luming want to commit suicide on the spot.
"What magazine? Why is the Heavenly Master so nervous?"
Liu Yiren, lying in the corner, had her small head filled with questions.
Yu Luming was furious and ashamed, attacking with even less mercy.
"Heaven and Earth, mysterious and profound. Ten thousand Qi are the root. Cultivate through countless kalpas, achieve my divine abilities. Within the three realms, only Dao is supreme. Golden light, appear swiftly, protect my body!"
When the Heavenly Master used the Golden Light Incantation, it was naturally different from others.
Golden light gathered above Yu Luming's head, forming a crown adorned with three lotus flowers. These three lotus flowers rotated slowly, containing terrifying power.
This was a move Yu Luming had researched, imitating the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown," and he had used it when fighting Liu Yiren at the Luotian Grand Ceremony.
At that time, Liu Yiren used the Five-Thunder True Method, summoning terrifying heavenly lightning that struck Yu Luming for a full three minutes.
But with the golden light and three flowers above his head, Yu Luming remained completely unharmed.
Seeing Yu Luming use this move again, Yan Shouyi did not dare to underestimate it.
"Chi!"
Yu Luming pointed with one hand, and one of the golden flowers suddenly transformed into countless petals, shooting towards Yan Shouyi like razor-sharp blades in a storm!
Yan Shouyi frowned and, using the Golden Light Incantation himself, formed a golden array in front of him to block.
Ding ding ding ding ding!
The golden flower petals struck the array, making dinging sounds. Each petal shattered under the immense force upon contact with the array.
However, the terrifying momentum did not dissipate, pushing Yan Shouyi back.
Yan Shouyi retreated several steps, the Golden Light Incantation array in front of him collapsed, and the remaining golden flower petals shot towards Yan Shouyi's body like bullets!
Yet, these petals could not harm Yan Shouyi in the slightest, as Yan Shouyi instantly used the Vajra Divine Body along with the Fine Scale Armor to defend.
"With just one golden flower, the power is this immense. Old Yu's strength is indeed becoming more terrifying, worthy of being the Heavenly Master!" Yan Shouyi marveled inwardly.
Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion was, after all, a lineage sect. A thousand years of accumulation was not a joke.
After Yu Luming became the Heavenly Master, the Heavenly Master's Mansion poured all its resources into his cultivation. His growth rate was frightening. If Yan Shouyi hadn't had many fortunate encounters, he would certainly not have been his match.
However, Yan Shouyi was not to be outdone. After taking a wave of attacks from Yu Luming, he used the "Vertical Ground Golden Light" to appear behind Yu Luming.
"Old Yu, I'll help you calm down!"
He directly locked Yu Luming's neck with his hands, restricting his movement.
Yu Luming felt a sense of suffocation. His physical strength was far inferior to Yan Shouyi's; he couldn't break free by brute force alone.
Thus, terrifying lightning began to erupt around him, directly connecting to heaven and earth, summoning heavenly lightning!
Boom!!!
A thick golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, completely engulfing both Yu Luming and Yan Shouyi.
But Yu Luming himself was unaffected by the golden lightning, emerging completely unharmed.
Sensing a decrease in Yan Shouyi's strength behind him, Yu Luming seized the opportunity to break free, then slammed his palm towards Yan Shouyi's chest!
Bang!
This palm strike landed on Yan Shouyi's body, but it felt soft and weak.
The next second, Yan Shouyi's body suddenly exploded, turning into scattered paper figures.
"Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell?" Yu Luming's expression darkened.
While Yu Luming was progressing, Yan Shouyi had not been idle. Repeated trials by fire had allowed Yan Shouyi to integrate all the Civil Religion techniques he knew.
A descendant of Lu Ban, who masters the strengths of various schools, is the most difficult opponent. This is because even Yu Luming couldn't figure out which school or doctrine Yan Shouyi would use to counter him the next second.
As expected, the moment Yu Luming realized Yan Shouyi had used a substitute, the real Yan Shouyi had already unexpectedly grabbed Yu Luming's arm!
"Four ounces deflect a thousand pounds!"
A soft yet incredibly formidable force transmitted, Yu Luming's body was uncontrollably lifted by Yan Shouyi and then violently slammed onto the ground!
This force carried the essence of Tai Chi. The more Yu Luming resisted, the greater the force he endured. But if he didn't resist, Yan Shouyi would still treat him like a pig to be slaughtered!
Helpless, Yu Luming could only forcibly withstand this move. Upon landing, he sacrificed a golden flower to ensure his own safety.
After landing, Yu Luming gritted his teeth and picked up a willow branch from the ground to use as a weapon.
Yan Shouyi narrowed his eyes and asked, "You're a Heavenly Master, don't you know to find yourself a suitable weapon? Using just a willow branch is looking down on me, Yan Shouyi."
"Enough nonsense!" Yu Luming snorted coldly. "I studied diligently for over a decade. The sword intent is in my heart. Holding no sword is better than holding one."
With that, Yu Luming swung the willow branch sideways, indeed unleashing a sword qi more than ten meters long.
The sword qi was terrifying and destructive, cutting through all obstacles in its path mid-way.
But Yan Shouyi remained incredibly calm.
"Oh, really? I think it's better for you to use a real weapon!"
As his words fell, Yu Luming's sword qi had already reached Yan Shouyi's front. But at that very instant, a black light descended from the sky, instantly shattering the sword qi!
"With a thunderclap in the sky, Long Feicheng, this young master, makes a dazzling debut!"
The Zanpakuto hung in front of Yan Shouyi, and Long Feicheng's voice resounded throughout the scene.
