Chapter 300"Mm?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised to see his blade aura blocked. He followed the direction from which the sword aura had come and saw a white figure standing on a nearby rooftop. He couldn’t tell when this person had appeared.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his aura restrained, appearing no different from an ordinary person. But no one dared to consider him ordinary. The ability to conceal his aura to such an extent, evading the senses of all the powerful individuals present and quietly appearing on the rooftop, clearly indicated he was anything but ordinary. As they got a clear look at the white-robed man, someone couldn't help but exclaim, "The Third Holy Master!" "What? Is this man truly the Holy Master?" "Indeed, I knew it! With such chaos in the city, how could the three Holy Masters not be alerted?" "It seems Master Xuanming might escape this time." "The Third Holy Master has intervened; he is known for his hatred of evil. This young man might be in trouble." Among the onlookers, many had previously met the three Holy Masters of the Sacred Mountain and immediately recognized him. In the shadows, a figure's heart shook again, his eyes filled with uncertainty. "So, this guy is one of the three Holy Masters? Something feels off about him." "Why has the Third Holy Master come here?" On top of the tall tower, the Master of Tianji Tower was equally shocked to see the white figure. Worry emerged in his heart. "Among the three Holy Masters, the Third Holy Master is the most forceful. I hope Lu Xiaolangjun doesn’t provoke him." Despite his worry, the Master of Tianji Tower dared not send a telepathic message to Lu Qing. Though he was nearly at the pinnacle of the Precelestial Realm and had deep insights into soul cultivation, transmitting his voice across hundreds of meters in the Sacred City, where an invisible force exerted suppression, was beyond his capabilities. Moreover, the depths of the three Holy Masters' cultivation were unfathomable. Every time he met them, he felt insignificant in comparison. Even if he attempted to send a telepathic message, it wouldn’t escape the Third Holy Master’s notice. "Holy Master?" Lu Qing’s heart stirred upon hearing the title. So, this was one of the three mysterious Holy Masters from the Sacred Mountain? At that moment, golden light emanated from the white-robed man, and lines of text slowly appeared in Lu Qing’s vision. 【Bai Qingfeng: The Third Holy Master of Sacred Mountain, strong-willed and forceful.】【Cultivation: Peak of Foundation Establishment. Due to a fortuitous encounter, he gained the recognition of the Sacred Mountain’s will. Within the boundaries of the Sacred Mountain, his strength rivals that of a Golden Core cultivator.】【The person before you is not his true body, but a puppet controlled by his soul. At most, it can exert the power of a Precelestial perfection realm cultivator.】【Though the Third Holy Master has been granted the Sacred Mountain’s recognition and great fortune, he is also bound by restrictions. His true body cannot leave the Sacred Mountain’s area until he achieves ascension.】 ... "A puppet body?" After reading the information, Lu Qing understood. No wonder even he hadn’t sensed the white-robed man’s arrival immediately. It turned out that the person before him wasn’t a living being but a puppet body. Given the opponent’s peak Foundation Establishment soul realm, it was no surprise they could easily conceal their aura. Lu Qing had some knowledge about puppet bodies. The inheritance of the Li Huo Sect contained related records. In the previous era of cultivation, there was a sect named Tian Kui Sect, which specialized in this art. It was said that their meticulously crafted puppet bodies not only resembled real people but that the highest-grade ones could even cultivate on their own, which was extraordinary. However, such self-cultivating puppet bodies were incredibly rare, even more so than spiritual artifacts. Even the Tian Kui Sect of old managed to create only one such puppet body. Moreover, it was said that this puppet body was created by accident during a stroke of good fortune. Despite their best efforts, they could never replicate it again. The puppet body currently inhabited by the Third Holy Master was clearly not the pinnacle work of the Tian Kui Sect but rather some kind of standardized puppet body. "Greetings to the Third Holy Master!" Upon confirming the arrival of the Holy Master, the surrounding Precelestial experts hurriedly saluted. The surviving monks from Xuankong Mountain shouted loudly, "Holy Master, this man is a demon! Please slay him quickly!" However, the Third Holy Master ignored their greetings and the monks' pleas, instead looking directly at Lu Qing. He spoke calmly, "Do me a favor and spare Xuanming and the others this time." Everyone’s gaze immediately turned to Lu Qing. The Third Holy Master had personally intervened, and they wondered how this young man would respond. A trace of joy appeared in Xuanming’s eyes. "Is the Holy Master intervening in my grudge with Xuankong Mountain? I’ve heard that the Sacred Mountain only cares about the grand affairs of the world and never meddles in personal feuds. Could that just be an empty statement?" Lu Qing didn’t answer immediately but instead posed a question. Everyone was shocked, seemingly not expecting him to dare to question the Third Holy Master in public. "This is bad!" On the tower, the Master of Tianji Tower grew anxious upon hearing Lu Qing’s words. The Third Holy Master was known for his firm and unyielding nature. Lu Qing’s questioning would surely provoke his displeasure. Just as the Master of Tianji Tower was worrying, he saw the Third Holy Master fall silent in the face of Lu Qing’s question. Only after a moment did the Holy Master speak, "I owe the Abbot of Xuankong Mountain a favor. I cannot stand by and watch Xuanming die here. If you can grant me this favor, consider the favor repaid." The Third Holy Master’s attitude surprised not only the warriors but also the Master of Tianji Tower, who knew his temperament well. Since when had the Third Holy Master become so agreeable? Was this still the same unyielding Third Holy Master they knew? Once again, all eyes turned to Lu Qing. They had witnessed his domineering and arrogant behavior earlier. Now that the Third Holy Master had taken such a humble stance, they were eager to see if this young man would give in. Under the gaze of so many powerful individuals, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged. "It seems the Holy Master is determined to interfere in my grudge with Xuankong Mountain?" "I’m doing this for your sake. Your talent is extraordinary, but Xuankong Mountain's foundation is beyond your imagination. If you make them your mortal enemy, you will regret it in the future." The Third Holy Master advised. But Lu Qing only laughed upon hearing this. "What, does the Holy Master think I haven't already made them my mortal enemy?" The Third Holy Master glanced at the corpses of the Xuankong Mountain elders nearby and hesitated. Seeing the smile on Lu Qing’s face, he understood. "So, there’s no room for negotiation?" "I respect the Holy Master, but I hope you can maintain the Sacred Mountain’s stance and not interfere in my grudge with Xuankong Mountain," Lu Qing said seriously. The surrounding Precelestial experts were stunned, though they also felt this response was somehow expected. Given Lu Qing's consistent displays of strength and resolve, it would have been out of character for him to compromise now. The Third Holy Master quietly observed Lu Qing, his expression finally becoming somewhat colder. "What if I insist on taking them away?" "Then this junior has no choice but to experience the Holy Master's superior skills." Lu Qing lightly beckoned with his hand, and true qi surged forth, causing the warblade embedded in the ground to fly into his grasp. "I’ve always wanted to see just how powerful a Precelestial perfection expert truly is." With the warblade in his hand, an overwhelming aura instantly erupted from Lu Qing. The sharp blade intent was so intense that all the Precelestial experts felt their skin prickling and their hearts trembling. They were shocked to find that Lu Qing’s aura seemed even stronger than before. "It has come to this, after all." The Master of Tianji Tower sighed, his premonition proving true. The Third Holy Master was indeed strong-willed, but so was Lu Qing. It was inevitable that these two would clash. "Master, that white-robed man seems very powerful. Do you think Brother Lu Qing will be at a disadvantage?" Mago anxiously asked. The others also looked worried. "Don’t worry. The Third Holy Master may be forceful, but he is also upright. At most, Lu Xiaolangjun will suffer some hardship, but he won’t lose his life." The Master of Tianji Tower reassured them. "You want to fight me?" The Third Holy Master was a little surprised. "Please instruct me, Senior." Sensing the battle intent from Lu Qing, the Third Holy Master paused for a moment. Then he spoke, "Very well. It seems I won’t be able to take them away without a fight. But I don’t like bullying the weak. How about this: we exchange three moves. If you can force me back even half a step within three moves, I’ll drop the matter." With that, his figure disappeared from the rooftop and reappeared in front of Xuanming, just three meters away from Lu Qing. "Then don’t blame me for any offense!" Seeing the Third Holy Master land, Lu Qing's eyes narrowed. His right hand wielded the warblade, which suddenly transformed into a ball of white light, slashing countless times in an instant. A storm of violent blade energy surged toward the Third Holy Master. The ferocity and swiftness of the blade energy caused all the Precelestial experts to change their expressions. "Interesting. You’ve truly grasped the essence of ‘intent’ in your blade technique." The Third Holy Master’s eyes gleamed with approval as he watched the blade energy storm. "However, such a move is useless against me." As the storm of blade energy approached, the Third Holy Master didn’t even draw a weapon. He simply extended a finger and pointed forward. At that moment, something astonishing happened. The storm of blade energy that Lu Qing had unleashed suddenly froze in midair, as if the space around it had solidified, preventing it from advancing. "Disperse!" After immobilizing the blade energy, the Third Holy Master softly uttered a word. In the next instant, an invisible wave swept across the storm, rapidly dissolving it until it completely vanished. This move shocked everyone present. The Precelestial experts who witnessed this scene all widened their eyes in disbelief. They couldn’t comprehend how Lu Qing’s powerful blade energy storm had been so easily neutralized by the Third Holy Master. In fact, they couldn’t even discern what technique the Third Holy Master had used. Seeing the ease with which the Third Holy Master acted, all the experts couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of reverence. This was the Holy Master, the ruler of the Sacred Mountain, who had awed the world for centuries and commanded the respect of countless sects! Only a few individuals with extensive knowledge could grasp the profoundness of what had just transpired. "Fusion with Heaven and Earth, creating one’s own domain. Indeed, the Third Holy Master’s cultivation has reached an unfathomable level!" Yangming Daoist marveled at how effortlessly the Third Holy Master had dissipated Lu Qing’s blade energy. "Fusion with Heaven and Earth? Has the Third Holy Master’s cultivation truly reached such heights? No wonder my master always spoke of the three Sacred Mountain Masters with such admiration." The senior brother from Yunshui Secret Realm was equally stunned. In a shadowy corner, a dark figure trembled slightly. "Fusion with Heaven and Earth? How can this guy's soul realm be so advanced when spiritual artifacts have only just begun to revive?" "A domain?" Lu Qing was not surprised to see his blade energy easily dispelled by the Third Holy Master. In a battle between experts, blade energy and sword aura were not the most crucial means of attack. He hadn’t expected to force the Third Holy Master back with a single blade energy storm. Instead, he contemplated the dissipating blade energy with a thoughtful expression. Though the opponent’s technique was mysterious, it felt vaguely familiar to him. Whenever his master unleashed his Precelestial domain, it felt similar. However, the Third Holy Master’s mastery of domain manipulation was far superior to his master’s. This allowed him to effortlessly neutralize all of Lu Qing’s blade energy without a trace of effort. "So, do you wish to continue?" The Third Holy Master asked calmly after dispelling Lu Qing’s blade energy, making no further moves. "Of course. It’s not every day one gets to spar with a top expert like you. How could I give up so easily?" Lu Qing replied with a smile. "In that case, continue. But this time, I won’t hold back as much." The Third Holy Master, sensing Lu Qing’s refusal to back down, finally showed a hint of impatience. "Please, attack as you wish. When it comes to survival, I’m quite adept." Lu Qing remained unfazed, lightly twirling his warblade. In the next moment, he stomped the ground, his figure resembling a bolt of lightning as he charged at the Third Holy Master. A chilling killing intent surged into the sky, and the warblade in his hand struck down like a flash of lightning. Faced with Lu Qing’s ferocious strike, the Third Holy Master’s expression finally shifted slightly. He could sense that this strike was as powerful as one from a true Precelestial perfection expert. The casual move he had just used wouldn’t be enough to block this strike. After all, the soul force he had infused into this puppet body was limited. While he could use techniques like Fusion with Heaven and Earth, insufficient soul force made it difficult to restrain Lu Qing. Realizing this, the Third Holy Master’s gaze grew serious. Suddenly, a long sword appeared in his hand. Table of content
