I Cheated While Cultivating

Chapter 420: Chapter 139 Coming

In a large mansion within Huangtong Mansion City,

Zhou Heng, who was originally sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, nurturing his divine soul, suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze turned towards the east.

“They’ve arrived?” A slight smile curved up the corners of his mouth, “Since you’ve come, there’s no need to leave!”

Through the sensitivity of the heart according to the True Spirit Yuans Heart Sutra, Zhou Heng had already refined the aura of Tao Lord Yu Que from the Golden Flame Sea Lion Demon.

As soon as the other party approached Huangtong Mansion City, he would immediately become aware of it.

“Not content to be an Overseas Loose Cultivator out in the vast Eastern Sea, you’re fixated on sneaking into the Central Plains—just what are you plotting?” Zhou Heng stood up, speculating on the intent of Tao Lord Yu Que.

The Eastern Sea’s expanse wasn’t smaller than that of the land, and in fact, its scope might even be larger; its resources were extremely abundant. Many countries and thousands of sects dotted the area, but amongst all, the Seventy-two Loose Immortals reigned supreme.

It could be said that Tao Lord Yu Que was one of the seventy-two sovereigns above the grand Eastern Sea.

In terms of status, this existence was comparable to a Tao Lord from the Central Plains.

Thus, under normal circumstances, the Eastern Sea and the Central Plains were…

The clues obtained from the Golden Flame Sea Lion Demon, as well as the situation with Bai Husheng, suggested that both were probably deliberately released by Tao Lord Yu Que as legitimate reasons for his visit to the Central Plains.

And both had appeared in Huangtong Mansion City.

It was reasonable to surmise then that Tao Lord Yu Que’s main purpose in coming to the Central Plains was related to Huangtong Mansion City.

“Huangtong Mansion City suppresses half a Demon Lord’s finger bone; the relationship between Overseas Loose Cultivators and foreign demons is ambiguous. Could it be that the fragment here is Tao Lord Yu Que’s goal?”

Zhou Heng made a conjecture in his heart but still had some doubts, “However, this half finger bone is under an extremely powerful seal. After the last unsealing, it was reinforced even more, how could a mere Loose Cultivator unravel such a seal?

“Or does he already possess the means to break the seal? Recently, the great demon Cang Hua, who was sealed on the shores of the Eastern Sea, colluded with an Evil God. It’s likely not without the involvement of the Overseas Loose Cultivators…

“If that’s truly the case, then Tao Lord Yu Que might indeed possess the capability to break through the seal on this side, and so I must be wary and cautious.”

Previously, the great demon Cang Hua had sent a Ghost Immortal to Huangtong Mansion City to call out to the half Demon Lord’s finger bone in an attempt to shatter the seal, nearly bringing catastrophe to the entire city.

“Once Tao Lord Yu Que arrives, I will make a quick decision and not give him any chance to make a move!”

Zhou Heng made a resolution in his heart but then shook his head, “No, why wait for him? Since he’s nearing Huangtong Mansion City, I’ll meet him head-on and kill him just the same!”

With that thought, he immediately left the room. Cloud light swelled beneath his feet as he soared into the sky in an instant, heading eastward to confront Tao Lord Yu Que’s location.

Because Zhou Heng made no attempt to conceal his movements, the ascension of cloud light directly lit up the sky over Huangtong Mansion City, causing countless citizens to look up instinctively.

Inside the mansion, Bai Husheng’s body trembled slightly as he also looked up at the streak of cloud light passing overhead, his hairs standing on end and his face as pale as clay, filled with terror as he looked towards the east.

“This, this aura, is it, is it Tao Lord Yu Que?”

Bai Husheng was almost scared out of his wits, collapsing helplessly onto the ground while his mind was a maelstrom of shock, “That cloud light just now was Zhou Heng. Is he trying to flee? No, he’s flying to the east—he’s truly going to confront Tao Lord Yu Que?”

Although he knew beforehand that Zhou Heng seemed to dismiss Tao Lord Yu Que, hearing about something and witnessing it firsthand were totally different experiences.

She had heard Zhou Heng’s words just last night, and now she was witnessing Zhou Heng going to confront Tao Lord Yu Que.

As a member of the Demon Clan from the Eastern Sea, Bai Husheng believed Tao Lord Yu Que was one of the high and mighty Seventy-two Immortals, against whose will no beings could defy, and no one dared to resist.

Yet now, Zhou Heng, a mere Fifth Rank Sect Master from the Human Race, was about to confront this Loose Immortal, whose strength was on par with a Celestial Power, alone!

Without seeing it for oneself, no one would believe such a thing was happening.

Unless this Grandmaster was seeking death, there was simply no other explanation for his actions.

After all, the gap between a Sect Fifth Rank and a Loose Immortal comparable to a Celestial Man was simply too vast.

It was like the difference between heaven and earth, as stark as clouds are from mud!

However, Zhou Heng, this immortal elder, did not seem like a foolish man. Could he really have a way to directly repel the real person Yu Que?

That was also too incredible.

“My lady, what happened?” Yu He came over and saw Bai Husheng sitting on the ground. He quickly helped her up and asked in confusion, “Were you frightened by the cloud light just now?”

“No, no, I just accidentally fell,” Bai Husheng quickly shook her head.

“Haha, you don’t have to be scared. That cloud light just now was definitely Zhou Heng; he must have been in a hurry to leave for some business,” Yu He laughed.

“Mhm.” Bai Husheng nodded, whispering, “I know, my husband need not worry.”

…

Meanwhile, in front of the Pure Yang First Martial Hall.

Jiang Er, who had been lying on a long chair waving a palm-leaf fan in the sun, suddenly stopped her action and turned to look towards the east, then covered her face with the fan.

“I just hope it doesn’t disturb someone’s peaceful dreams.”

…

Zhou Heng’s flying speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was already thousands of miles away.

However, the speed of the Loose Immortal, the real person Yu Que, was even faster.

He came from the Eastern Sea, a distance of millions of miles. Without using any void-transferring techniques, his flight alone had brought him here in merely the time it took to breathe.

Therefore, just as Zhou Heng flew out from Huangtong Mansion City, the real person Yu Que had already met him head-on.

This place happened to be a desolate mountain forest.

Within a hundred miles, there was not a soul in sight.

Zhou Heng stopped in the sky above, waiting for the arrival of the real person Yu Que.

A streak of green light, like lightning, streaked across the sky of Da Qi, its speed so fast that it seemed like teleportation, heading straight towards Zhou Heng, stirring up a tremendous storm.

Zhou Heng could feel the howling winds racing past him, almost like massive waves from a sea storm, causing drastic changes in the weather and darkening the sky.

Even the laws and tunes of heaven and earth in the vicinity were greatly affected, showing a degree of distortion and change.

This was clearly the sign of a Celestial Man unfolding the laws of the Primordial Spirit.

“Such might is indeed not inferior to a Celestial Man,” Zhou Heng’s eyebrows slightly raised, ready to use his skill card to deal with this powerful Loose Immortal at any moment.

Whoosh!

The raging wind and thunder swept past Zhou Heng, with no sign of stopping, continuing towards Huangtong Mansion City as if it hadn’t even noticed Zhou Heng.

“…” Zhou Heng fell silent.

He had sensed that the one who had just swept past him was the real person Yu Que.

But the other’s attention was not focused on him at all.

He was ignored.

Just as humans, when hurrying on their way, ignore the ants by the roadside.
