Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 803: All-Out Fight Against Yun Zhi

“Attack, Third-in-Command!”

Under the hints of the duplicitous minister, Lu Yang, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s intelligence improved by leaps and bounds. She now understood the importance of sending someone to test the waters before a battle.

“Little Ling, Lianyi, the two of you must carefully observe Lass Yun’s combat style!”

The Everlasting Immortal initially wanted to refuse, but he was constrained by the Everlasting Dao Fruit that was controlled by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, making refusal impossible. He had to attack when duty called.

Seeing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy gather her subordinates with the resolve for a fight to the death, Yun Zhi’s eyes, calm as a lake, rippled slightly.

The Third-in-Command was the most valiant. Under the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s control, he launched the first attack.

“Great Carefree Palm!” With an unwavering gaze, the Third-in-Command delivered a palm strike. Brilliant light erupted, akin to a mountain deluge bursting forth, carrying the force of ten thousand bolts of lightning. Wherever it passed, space seemed to be violently torn asunder. Its might was shocking!

Yun Zhi likewise thrust out a palm. To onlookers, this palm strike seemed devoid of offensive power and produced no extraordinary phenomena. Only the Third-in-Command could clearly sense the terror contained within it.

Before Yun Zhi’s palm even touched the Third-in-Command, the latter’s raised right hand began to crack and shatter.

“Restore!” As the Third-in-Command shouted, his originally shattered soul reassembled itself piece by piece.

Yun Zhi gripped the Third-in-Command’s neck, and ice began to form, rapidly spreading.

Before the Third-in-Command could react, he was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Yun Zhi tossed the Third-in-Command aside and said calmly, “Next.”

Despite facing such a predicament, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy maintained her composure. She waved her hand, commanding her subordinates and troops.

“Attack together!”

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi lived up to their reputations as the two great immortals under the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. Upon receiving her order, they charged forward first.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy embodied the spirit of a founding emperor leading a charge and breaking through the enemy’s lines, rushing ahead with greater fervor. Though she acted later, she arrived first, outpacing even Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi.

“Immortal Fairy Fist Technique!”

Lu Yang hid far away in the rear, witnessing the brutal battle of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s trio firsthand. They employed various combat techniques, dishing out immortal arts frequently, while Yun Zhi swept through all directions, dominating the field.

The air was thick with an atmosphere of slaughter and death. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy and her two aides fell one after another, as dead as they could be.

Lu Yang trembled as he watched the expressionless Yun Zhi walk toward him.

“Big Senior Sister, I’m not with them!” Lu Yang immediately declared his stance. My role as a duplicitous minister of the Great Dou Dynasty was merely a temporary expedient. My true allegiance lies with Big Senior Sister Yun Zhi!

“I know,” Yun Zhi said placidly, displaying neither joy nor anger. “Senior Immortal Fairy and the others will probably be dead for a while. Stay here with them. I won’t wait.”

“Oh.”

After half the time for an incense to burn, a miracle occurred. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s trio returned from death to the land of the living.

“Fortunately, this immortal was prepared and performed the Play-Dead Technique.”

The trio rejoiced over avoiding a situation that would shatter their Dao hearts.

Lu Yang thought, Even if you three had lost, your Dao hearts would be just fine.

“Second-in-Command, how are you? Are you hurt?”

“Uh, I didn’t fight Big Senior Sister.” Lu Yang felt that he needed to state his stance firmly. I can’t keep following the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s shenanigans every time she messes around.

“Then did Lass Yun hit you?”

“No, she didn’t.” If Yun Zhi had struck, Lu Yang would have been lying on the ground alongside the trio.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy clapped. “Then it was also a draw for you! To think we fought Lass Yun to a draw! Let’s keep up the effort!”

Lu Yang, “...”

Immortal Fairy, isn’t your concept of a “draw” a bit too broad?

He then pointed at the Third-in-Command, who was frozen into an ice sculpture. “It wasn’t all draws. The Third-in-Command lost.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy waved her hand dismissively. “No matter. We’ll kick him out of the Everlasting Lineage and just pretend he didn’t participate in the fight.

“This immortal has given it some thought. We were too hasty with our preparations for this battle. Next time, we should prepare properly in advance.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy began to reflect, striving to trip over the same stone repeatedly.

Lu Yang wondered, Do you mean preparing a grave in advance?

Then my epitaph should read: The Heavenly Court Young Creed Leader died in an internal conflict of the Heavenly Court.

“Oh right! We didn’t call the Little Herb Kings this time!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy remembered a group of crucial combatants.” The combat power of the Little Herb Kings shouldn’t be underestimated.

“Let’s go, let’s go, to the herb garden!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy urged Lu Yang.

“What about the Third-in-Command?”

“Don’t bother. The ice will melt on its own.”

~~~

Lu Yang led his two junior sisters to the herb garden.

At the entrance to the herb garden, Grandpa Ba was dozing off while contemplating how to teach his newly accepted disciple, Zhou Xing’er.

It’s been so long since I last taught that I’ve forgotten how.

“How did Junior Niece Yun Zhi teach Little Lu back then? I remember it started with juggling a giant vat?”

Just as Lu Yang reached the entrance, he heard Grandpa Ba recalling a past he would rather forget.

“Oh, it’s Little Lu...” Grandpa Ba opened his eyes and saw Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi standing behind Lu Yang. He was so startled that he tumbled right out of his rocking chair.

Why are the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors here?

“You’ve met Senior Lianyi before; I won’t introduce her. This is Senior Ao Ling, also a member of our Heavenly Court Creed.”

Grandpa Ba recalled the news from the East Sea, and his expression turned odd. I desperately want to know what kind of bewitching potion Lu Yang had fed the two ancestors with, first tricking the Phoenix Ancestor to the Heavenly Court Creed, and now the Dragon Ancestor.

“The three of us would like to stroll through the herb garden. That’s fine, right?” With two half-immortals standing behind him, Lu Yang spoke with more confidence than usual.

“To pluck herbs?”

“No, we’re just going in to chat with the Little Herb Kings.”

“Go on in then.”

At the moment, the Metamorphic Immortal Grass was being grown in the plot with the richest spirit energy in the herb garden.

“Let me tell all of you, don’t think arriving first makes you all special! We Little Herb Kings compete based on age, understand? Age!” the Metamorphic Immortal Grass announced to the Ginseng Doll and the others with an imperious air.

The Ginseng Doll and the others were all born after the ancient era, so their ages were considerably less than the Metamorphic Immortal Grass’s.

But the Ginseng Doll clearly didn’t accept this logic. It flexed its leaves and roots, sneering. “Attack! Let it experience what ‘strength reigns supreme’ means!”

The Little Herb Kings swarmed forward, some slapping with leaves, others whipping with roots, beating the Metamorphic Immortal Grass until it wailed in agony.

This was the scene Lu Yang’s trio witnessed upon arriving at the herb garden.

Lu Yang didn’t know whether he should intervene to stop this or wait until the Little Herb Kings finished before showing himself.

Soon, Lu Yang didn’t have to feel conflicted. The towering Dao Enlightenment Tree King spotted Lu Yang’s group and pulled the Little Herb Kings and the Metamorphic Immortal Grass apart.

“Human kid, you’re here?” The Ginseng Doll waved a root in greeting.

“What human kid? This is the Second-in-Command of the Everlasting Lineage. Show some respect, you little herb dolls!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy emerged to assert her authority.

“W-who are you?!” Seeing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy for the first time, the Metamorphic Immortal Grass stammered, terrified by her aura.

“Hmph, this immortal is the head of the Five Ancient Immortals, the Heavenly Court Ruler—the Everlasting Immortal Fairy!”

“An...an immortal?” The Metamorphic Immortal Grass was stunned, unable to believe a genuine immortal was hidden within Lu Yang’s body.

No wonder Lu Yang’s combat power is so high. It must be the result of an immortal’s tutelage.

“This immortal has brought two of the Heavenly Court’s Four Regents to visit you this time. I’ll also share some good news with you all!”

“What good news, what good news?” The three-inch-tall Little Herb Kings hopped in a circle around Lu Yang, welcoming the Everlasting Immortal Fairy atop his head on her inspection tour.

“Just now, the four of us fought Lass Yun and achieved a draw.”

“A draw? So impressive!” The Little Herb Kings gazed at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy with worshipful admiration.

“This immortal believes that bringing all of you along next time might change the course of the battle. Are you willing to join?”

“We are willing!” The Little Herb Kings chorused in unison.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy nodded, tremendously satisfied with the Little Herb King’s response. Their level of awareness alone is far better than the Third-in-Command’s.
