Chapter 335: Chapter 331 Lord Lu
Chapter 335: Chapter 331 Lord Lu
At the very front of the procession was a luxurious carriage that was not only spacious but also exquisitely decorated. Harnessed to the carriage were two horses; a pair as ostentatious as the vehicle they were towing.
The path here was not very wide. When the two processions ran into each other it immediately blocked off the way forward, and both had to halt their progress.
“Who do you think you are?! You’re daring to block Lord Lu’s path, clear the way immediately!” From the opposing team’s procession, a grey-robed man stepped out, a late-stage Grain Avoidance practitioner, exclaiming with an irritated face.
Whether he intended to show off or not, the grey-robed man’s voice contained a trace of mana, echoing like a sudden thunderclap at ground level.
In Shen Luo’s party, at the forefront was the Shen Family’s procession. One of the horses pulling the carriage got startled and began galloping towards the luxurious carriage at the vanguard of the opposing procession.
The driver tried frantically to reign in the spooked horse.
“You scoundrel! How dare you collide with Lord Lu’s carriage! Are you seeking your own doom?!” The expression on the face of the grey-robed man fell, and he slapped towards the void with his palm.
His hand emitted a bright green light, condensing into a palm of light the size of a millstone in an instant. The sound of rushing wind suddenly echoed, the palm striking towards the startled horse with lightning speed.
However, at that moment, two streams of water burst from the suddenly cracked ground. One stream, flickering with blue light, instantly wrapped around the runaway horse, immediately stopping it.
The other stream of water spun round and round, transforming into a large hand of water, and flicked at the grey-robed man’s palm of green light.
“Thud!” With a sound, the green light palm exploded upon contact.
The grey-robed man’s body shuddered, staggering back several paces before regaining his ground, his face as pale as ashes. An expression of shock lit up his eyes.
“What a skillful water-controlling technique. I must learn a couple of moves from it.” A nonchalant voice drifted from within the opulent carriage.
Before the voice had finished speaking, a gust of wind rose above the Shen Family’s carriage. Suddenly, a large white hand emerged from thin air and grasped towards the hand of water from high in the air. Its fingers streaked black traces in mid-air, a raging wind swiftly following suit.
The water hand did not hesitate and immediately rushed up to meet it, nimbly avoiding the sharp fingertips, and jabbed at the palm of the white hand.
The white hand turned over and at an extremely critical juncture nimbly dodged away, then pointed like a knife, slicing towards the back of the water hand.
The two hands clashed mid-air as quick as lightning. The power of the white palm was visibly much greater, but the water palm was incredibly agile, always able to evade the opponent’s strikes at critical moments, launching fierce counterattacks.
A cold snort emanated from within the splendid carriage. The air around the white hand shimmered, and three white wind ropes appeared out of thin air, curling towards the water hand below.
Simultaneously, the white hand’s surface gave off a layer of white light, enlarging itself several times, it harshly slapped downwards, effectively caging the hand of water within a range of several feet.
The water hand in mid-air quickly cast a spell, its surface flickered with blue light, also enlarging instantly. It flicked its fingers thrice.
Three water blades shot out, colliding with the three wind ropes, neutralizing each other.
The blue water palm, swift as a falling star, rose up to meet the attack, colliding with the large white hand, and producing a dull sound.
The water palm burst apart in response, shattering into numerous droplets, unable to withstand even a single blow.
A triumphant laugh echoed from the splendid carriage, which was sharply cut off right away. From amidst the shattered droplets, unbeknownst to anyone, a water spike suddenly sprouted. With a flash, it astonishingly pierced the white hand.
The white hand’s surface flashed chaotically and then exploded, turning into a wild gust of wind, charging in all directions, causing both sides’ processions to plunge into momentary chaos.
The individual in the extravagant carriage issued another angry grunt. It seemed like he was very dissatisfied with the stalemate. White lights started to manifest, and the surrounding air began to oscillate once again.
“Both of you elders, please stop!” A loud shout echoed forth; it was Bai Bi hastening from behind on his horse.
“Bai Bi, it’s you! I didn’t expect your Bai Family to also escape from Jianye City.” The person in the carriage sounded a bit surprised, yet still appeared rather arrogant without showing himself.

“So, it’s Elder Lu Yong. My respects to you,” Bai Bi said politely, a movement crossing his eyes.
Upon hearing these words, a smattering of contempt appeared on the faces of some of those of higher cultivation from the Bai and Lin Families behind him.
“Bai Bi, was the Daoist friend who engaged earlier a guest official of your Bai Family?” Lu Yong’s voice was unashamed, he asked frivolously, obviously not considering the Bai Family as worthy of his attention.
“That elder is a friend of our Bai family, not a guest official. Elder Lu, the incident just now was merely a misunderstanding. With the disaster of demons looming over us, we should avoid internal conflict. How about we reconcile?” Bai Bi said unhurriedly.
“Bai Bi, you think you can make me stop with your status alone? I’m afraid you’re not that influential.” The curtain of their luxurious carriage abruptly flung open, revealing an elderly man in a golden robe seated within. He cast a disdainful glance at Bai Bi and scoffed.
This man had striking eyes, much like a predatory eagle, and thin lips, giving off an impression of sinister harshness.
“Oh, if Bai Bi’s influence isn’t enough, how about mine?” The curtain of the carriage Shen Luo was seated in was slowly drawn apart, revealing Shen Luo and Bai Xiaoyun. Bai Xiaoyun was the one speaking.
“You, you are Elder Bai Xiaoyun!” Lu Yong’s eyes widened in surprise as he instantly stood up upon seeing Bai Xiaoyun.
There was an uproar within Lu Yong’s team behind; clearly, they all knew of Bai Xiaoyun.
“It’s truly an honor that you remember me, Daoist Lu. I thought you had already completely disregarded our Bai family,” Bai Xiaoyun laughed, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
“I spoke recklessly just now; I have absolute respect for the Bai Family. Please forgive me, Elder Bai,” Lu Yong apologized hastily, the color draining from his face.
Bai Xiaoyun simply stared at Lu Yong without uttering a word, and everyone else held their breath subconsciously, not daring to make a sound. The atmosphere suddenly became very quiet.
Lu Yong was unsettled, but did not dare to raise his head.
At that moment, a buzzing sound rang in his head and a wave of dizziness swept over him. A profound pressure that was as immense as the ocean crushed down upon him.
Lu Yong’s face changed drastically. He tried to resist, yet this pressure was overwhelming, as if towering above the heavens themselves. He felt as insignificant and weak as an ant compared to it; any resistance was futile.
His face turned deathly pale, his breathing became labored, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
None of those present sensed anything amiss. Seeing Lu Yong suddenly turning pale and trembling all over, they were puzzled.
Shen Luo sensed something was happening and looked at Bai Xiaoyun. His eyes were sparkling with an unknown light. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out what kind of divine power Bai Xiaoyun was using that immobilized Lu Yong instantly. He couldn’t help admiring him.
As time wore on, Lu Yong’s face became paler and paler. He was soaked in sweat, his legs shaking uncontrollably, and he was so unsteady that he was on the verge of falling.
The strange light in Bai Xiaoyun’s eyes disappeared all of a sudden and the pressure on Lu Yong’s body instantly vanished with it.
He swayed, catching hold of the carriage to prevent himself from collapsing. Then he began gasping for breath.
“There will not be a second time!” Bai Xiaoyun said slowly.
“Yes, thank you for sparing me, elder,” Lu Yong gasped out once his breathing had somewhat settled, bowing respectfully.
Bai Xiaoyun disregarded Lu Yong. With a wave of his hand, the curtain of the carriage fell, hiding the inside from view.
