Chapter 155: Heading to the Law Secret Realm, Encountering Lan Shang by Chance

"Here?"

"Here."

"Not bad, you did very well!" The First Elder laughed as he clapped you on the shoulder, unable to hold back his praise.

"This is only what this humble one should do." You humbled yourself.

"That one called Zhao Wuji, you killed him, didn't you?" The First Elder set down his teacup and looked at you without expression.

"I killed him." You admitted it directly, without refuting, without explaining.

"Mm, well done. He was the Vice Sect Master's man. What a good death!" The First Elder burst into laughter.

Moody and unpredictable, an old fox! You thought to yourself, while keeping your expression unchanged.

"On this trip to the Law Secret Realm, the Vice Sect Master's side has twenty people, while we have thirty!" The First Elder seemed to say it offhandedly.

You understood at once, and answered. "If we meet, this humble one will strike down the Vice Sect Master's people!"

"I never said that!" The First Elder hurriedly said, but the smile on his face could not be suppressed no matter what.

You felt somewhat exhausted. After chatting with the First Elder for a while, you found a random place to sit and began cultivating on the spot.

"Set off!" An hour later, fifty Spirit Transformation disciples had gathered, and under the leadership of the Vice Sect Master and the First Elder, they set off together for the Law Secret Realm!

Among the group on this trip, you saw someone you had never expected, Xiao Fan!

This was a friend you had encountered in the Body-Refining Sect during your second simulation.

What you never expected was that in less than two hundred years, Xiao Fan had actually become a mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator!

Though you did not know how someone with Xiao Fan's cultivation had gotten involved, you were even more shocked by Xiao Fan's cultivation speed!

In less than two hundred years, he had actually gone from a mortal to the Spirit Transformation realm!

Is this the cultivation speed of a heaven-favored genius? Truly terrifying!

What gave you even more of a headache was that Xiao Fan was clearly one of the Vice Sect Master's people now, which meant you and he stood on opposing sides.

Though you did not want to stir up trouble, you feared others would come knocking!

You were very confident in your own cultivation, but you did not want to provoke enemies for no reason. If you capsized in a ditch at the hands of such a heaven-favored genius, that would not be fun at all.

I only want to quietly break through to the Return-to-Void realm. I hope this trip goes smoothly and no one comes to disturb me! You rotated your wrists and thought this.

Three days later, you arrived at a small world. Here, the various great families, academies, sects, and even the Imperial Clan of the Purple Firmament Immortal Dynasty had all sent people.

Here, you saw quite a few acquaintances from the past. It was just that these acquaintances no longer remembered you.

In your hands, you still retained the soul blood of these people!

Since it was a full inheritance, then the soul blood was inherited in your hands as well. Very reasonable, no?

You looked at the factions behind them, and some interesting thoughts suddenly came to mind. You could not help but smile.

"What are you thinking about? Take the token and the map and get ready to go in." The First Elder came to your side, handed the token and map into your hands, and gave his instructions.

You immediately wiped the smile from your face and followed the main group onto the teleportation formation, entering the small world.

You appeared in a desert. The teleportation formation's arrival points were all random, so for now there were no other cultivators around you.

You first observed your surroundings in secret. After confirming there was no danger, you then took out the map and studied it carefully.

A desert. I'm actually at the westernmost edge of the map. Tsk, what rotten luck!

From what you knew, quite a few high-tier cultivators had died in this small world. The law power they had comprehended in life remained behind, forming special zones here.

Comprehending it yourself — how could that be as fast as learning from the insights of predecessors?

Thus, this place had become the absolute first choice for Spirit Transformation cultivators to comprehend law power and break through to the Return-to-Void realm.

And the western edge where you were, a desert, had pitifully little residual law power.

Moreover, the residual law power here was incomparably exquisite. With the slightest carelessness, even a Spirit Transformation Consummation cultivator would likely perish here, turning into a pile of yellow sand!

After determining your direction, you advanced toward the eastern region, where the law power was most abundant!

"Damn unlucky, I never thought I'd get teleported here!" Lan Shang looked at the yellow sand everywhere and could not help but complain.

"Someone's there!" Lan Shang's steps paused. He quickly spotted you flying through the sky.

Lan Shang narrowed his eyes, sizing you up from afar, and found your face unfamiliar.

"Fellow Daoist, how about the two of us travel together?" Lan Shang came before you and said with a laugh.

"I wasn't going to come looking for you, but I never imagined you'd deliver yourself to my door." You stared at Lan Shang with a smile, feeling that fate was wonderfully subtle.

"What does Senior mean by this?" Hearing your words, Lan Shang's hairs stood on end. His intuition told him to quickly get away from you!

"Stop!"

Lan Shang's figure halted. He turned back to glance at you, and saw that a strand of soul blood had appeared in your hand, one that felt extremely familiar to him.

In front of Lan Shang's face, you lightly stirred the soul blood. The next second, Lan Shang's face went pale, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What did you do to me!" Lan Shang grew somewhat terrified. In this moment, he felt as though his very life was held in your hand, as if he would die the next second.

"If you're not afraid of death, then go ahead and run." You shrugged, speaking without concern.

Under the threat of death, Lan Shang made his choice once again.

Lan Shang walked toward you step by step, as though every step was exceedingly difficult. Lan Shang struggled out. "May I ask why Fellow Daoist sought me out?"

"You're going to be my bodyguard."

"Huh?" Lan Shang was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Lead the way!" You wasted no words.

Lan Shang had no choice but to walk in front of you, unwilling as he was, scouting the path for you.

"Fellow Daoist, save me!" While walking through the desert, you ultimately encountered an incomparably powerful law power, one whose strength far surpassed that of Spirit Transformation cultivators!

"Hold on, it's almost done!"

You saw a wisp of law power transform into the illusory figure of a youth, currently locked in a struggle to the death with Lan Shang.

And you, meanwhile, watched the two do battle while carefully comprehending this law power.

"Fellow Daoist, I really can't hold on anymore!" Lan Shang said, panting for breath, several wounds already on his body.

"Hold on a little longer, it'll be done soon." You responded.

I never imagined law power could be used like this. From the battle between the law avatar and Lan Shang, you gained quite a few insights.
