Chapter 213: That's Not Right!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Lu Qingyang and Lu Tianzhu fled swiftly along the trajectories of those two streams of light.
In the blink of an eye, they had traveled a thousand li away.
Unfortunately, even though the two of them desperately tried to keep up, the streams of light remained extremely fast.
In just a short moment, they had shaken off the two.
“Damn it! We can’t catch up!”
Lu Tianzhu looked at the empty sky where the targets had vanished and cursed angrily.
His tone was full of unwillingness.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang felt something was off.
That shouldn’t be. How could we possibly lose them?
In the Simulation, there was a harvest in the end.
Lu Qingyang muttered to himself. A moment later, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.
“Father! Don’t be angry. Where do you feel they’re most likely headed right now?”
“Where? I feel like it could be anywhere.”
Lu Tianzhu was somewhat confused.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly spoke.
“In that case, just pick a direction and go now!”
“Then… let’s go this way!”
Lu Tianzhu mumbled, casually chose a direction, and sped off.
Lu Qingyang hurriedly followed.
The two hadn’t flown for long before they saw, atop a distant mountain peak, two bodies lying quietly, radiating a dense immortal might.
“That… could that be…”
“The bones of those two!”
Lu Tianzhu looked at the two skeletons, his face filled with extreme shock.
“Go!”
Lu Qingyang ignored Lu Tianzhu.
He quickly stepped forward, directly picked up the two skeletons, and stored them in his storage bag.
Then he called for Lu Tianzhu to hurry and leave.
Not long after, the two completely vanished from this region…
What happened afterward was just like in the Simulation.
First, Lu Qingyang pretended to accidentally pull out two fragmentary maps from the two people’s Storage Rings.
Then he handed them to Lu Tianzhu, and they discovered it was actually a treasure map.
After that, they went through eighty years of treasure-seeking, with some scares but no real danger.
Until finally, the remains of this nine-cycle Human Immortal fell into the hands of Lu Qingyang and his son!
“A third-tier top-grade Immortal Artifact!”
“What a treasure! Yang’er, we’re rich!”
Lu Tianzhu looked at the armor, seal, and cauldron before him, gleaming with flowing light.
His face was full of delight.
“With these three treasures, the two of us won’t need to fear anyone below the Human Immortal level!”
Lu Tianzhu’s tone was excited.
Lu Qingyang also revealed a gratified smile.
But a moment later, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Oh no, I seem to have forgotten something!
Lu Qingyang’s brow furrowed tightly as he inwardly cried out that something was bad.
In the Simulation, this Human Immortal’s remains were occupied by a Human Immortal demon beast.
And I even subdued a Human Immortal powerhouse here. How come in Return to True, they’ve disappeared?
Could it be that I came too early?
Lu Qingyang thought of this and immediately shook his head.
Impossible!
Based on the damn nature of Simulation Return to True, once an event is moved earlier, the corresponding events are also moved earlier.
And logically, those two things should still happen.
Lu Qingyang carefully examined the surroundings. There were indeed no signs of any Immortal Beast having lived here.
Could it be…
Lu Qingyang’s heart stirred.
Those two events are waiting for me later?
Right! That’s absolutely it. And they’re probably about to happen very soon!
Lu Qingyang speculated.
He had already figured out some of the patterns behind how Return to True events worked.
And… whenever events were moved earlier, unexpected things would appear.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyang couldn’t help but become vigilant.
He whispered to Lu Tianzhu, who was still in the midst of excitement.
“Father! Don’t celebrate yet. We might be in trouble!”
Hearing this, Lu Tianzhu was stunned.
“Trouble?”
Lu Tianzhu asked in confusion. He hadn’t seen any problem.
“Father, places like the Human Immortal Ruins are usually accompanied by danger.”
“We obtained the treasures too smoothly this time. Please be careful, Father.”
“Mm!”
Lu Tianzhu nodded. He was not a fool.
Lu Qingyang’s performance along the way had long surpassed the ordinary.
Now hearing Lu Qingyang’s words, he naturally understood the severity.
Immediately, the two collected the treasures and flew cautiously toward their tribe’s direction.
But they had only just flown a short distance when a rumbling sound suddenly erupted from the void.
Then a terrifying pressure spread across the entire heaven and earth.
A colossal creature slowly descended.
Its form was massive, fully ten thousand meters in size.
Its entire body was pitch-black, like a towering black peak.
Its eyes were crimson, incomparably ferocious.
But what was even more shocking was the thick, incomparably thick tail behind it.
“ROAR!”
It raised its head and let out a long cry.
The sound waves were like blades, instantly sweeping across the surroundings.
Fortunately, Lu Qingyang and his son were far away. Otherwise, they would surely have been torn to shreds by the sound waves.
“Hisss!”
Seeing that colossal creature, even with Lu Tianzhu’s composure, he couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.
“A Human Immortal demon beast!”
“How is this possible? To actually encounter a Human Immortal demon beast!”
Lu Tianzhu’s voice was filled with utter shock.
Lu Qingyang also felt somewhat shaken.
It was the first time he had seen a true Immortal Beast with his own eyes, and only then did he realize just how enormous they were!
“Father, go quickly!”
Though shaken, he remained relatively calm.
He grabbed Lu Tianzhu and quickly retreated.
“BOOM!”
But just as Lu Qingyang and his son retreated, the Human Immortal demon beast ferociously charged down.
Its massive claws swept across, bringing with them burst after burst of tearing wind.
It was as if a peerlessly sharp divine weapon had slashed down.
“Swoosh!”
Lu Tianzhu hurriedly activated the two Immortal Artifacts he had commonly used before to meet the attack.
He hadn’t had time to refine the armor, seal, and cauldron.
So even in this critical moment, he couldn’t use them.
“Bang!”
In the next instant, the two attacks collided.
In that instant, a berserk force exploded outward.
The terrifying aftershock uprooted all the trees within a radius of dozens of meters.
“Crack!”
And those two ordinary Immortal Artifacts, after a single hard clash with this Human Immortal demon beast, instantly crumbled.
They turned into endless scrap and fell to the side.
“Oh no!”
“Yang’er, you go! I’ll hold it off. We are no match for this beast.”
“Our old Lu family finally produced two Immortals. We can’t both die here!”
Lu Tianzhu stepped in front of Lu Qingyang, his figure solitary.
Hearing that his cheap father could actually say such words, Lu Qingyang couldn’t help but feel somewhat moved.
After all, in such a critical moment, this father who had started from nothing and had even been an emperor for a thousand years hadn’t abandoned him.
That was truly rare.
And naturally, he wouldn’t just leave like this.
First, running was useless.
Second… he was waiting.
Waiting for that Human Immortal powerhouse who, in the Simulation, had actually knelt and submitted!
“Yang’er! Why aren’t you leaving?!”
Seeing Lu Qingyang standing there frozen, Lu Tianzhu couldn’t help but shout angrily.
Lu Qingyang turned a deaf ear.
He merely raised his head to look at the sky.
A moment later, his head snapped upward, his eyes bursting with brilliant light!
“It’s here!”
