In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

Unlike the original storyline, this time no one from the Ji family chased after Ye Fan, but he still followed the old madman.

Many cultivators in the Southern Region began to bid farewell to the Tai Xuan Sect and the Yao Guang Holy Land, preparing to return home.

However, the deputy sect leader of Tai Xuan had sharp eyes and stopped several people who were skilled in regulating the earth's energy and moving mountains and seas. He kindly persuaded them to stay and help Tai Xuan Sect rebuild its mountains and rivers, and most of them agreed.

At this moment, the powerful figures from the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land, the Purple Mansion Holy Land, and the Feng family gathered together, exchanging pleasantries with the Dragon Head Peak Master.

However, after a few polite words, the three powerful figures couldn't help but glance at Lü Yao, who was standing with his hands behind his back.

They quickly realized that this seemingly young Holy Son of Yaoguang was the one in charge now.

The Dragon Head Peak Master, a powerful and revered figure, was now subtly following the lead of the white-robed youth.

Moreover, the fact that the Holy Son of Yaoguang carried the Black Gold Cauldron with Dragon Pattern, but not the Dragon Head Peak Master or that poker-faced powerhouse, already speaks volumes.

This subtle gesture made it clear to the powerful figures who was truly important.

The Holy Son of Yaoguang is also just a little short; judging from his growth momentum, he will soon be able to enter the Sendai realm.

"The Holy Son of Yaoguang is truly a born genius, a gem among men."

The powerful figure from the Holy Land of Myriad Beginnings spoke first. Although he still maintained the airs of a great being, his words were very pleasant to hear.

"To possess such combat power at such a young age, one's future achievements are limitless." The young powerhouses of the Purple Mansion Holy Land were naturally unrestrained and carefree. Praising the future Holy Lord of Yao Guang, the current number one genius of the Southern Region, was no big deal.

The situation in the Eastern Wilderness is unstable, and the Ji family may have another major conflict with the Yao Guang Holy Land. There may still be clashes between imperial weapons. It is the only thing that a non-Imperial lineage should do: be on good terms with the Yao Guang Holy Land and not offend the Ji family.

If it is a fair fight between the younger generation, then the transcendence of the sages' traditions should be displayed. But if imperial weapons are used, it is an unfair fight.

You should still back down when necessary; it's not shameful, it's an imperial weapon after all...

Lu Yao merely smiled faintly. He heard a few flattering words, and coupled with the attitudes of Wan Chu and Zi Fu, he discerned a hidden meaning:

We didn't attack the Ji family first; we didn't want to offend them. But at the same time, we did help Yao Guang, so Yao Guang should at least remember our kindness.

Especially the leader of the Wan Chu Holy Land, whose words were watertight, fearing retaliation from the Ji family afterward, and eager to distance himself from their side.

When powerful forces interact, it's all about human relationships and social interactions; but when the younger generation clashes, it's a battle for the throne, a fight to the death.

Looking at the Holy Son of Ten Thousand Beginnings, he remained hidden within a blinding divine light from beginning to end, never revealing his appearance, let alone challenging any other Holy Son or Divine Son on stage.

It seems that the people from Wanchu Holy Land came here simply to watch the show, and then prepared to leave.

The powerful figures from the Purple Mansion Holy Land were even more interesting. With a carefree, jovial demeanor, they completely lacked the bearing of senior experts, saying in a half-joking, half-serious tone:

“It doesn’t matter. If the Ji family really brings the Void Mirror to attack my Purple Mansion Holy Land, then we will move the entire sect to the entrance of the Yao Guang Holy Land.”

Upon hearing this, the people around him were stunned for a moment, and then they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This powerful figure had clearly recently broken through to a higher level and rarely traveled in the Eastern Wilderness, so few people knew him. However, everyone had now witnessed his shameless behavior.

As for the minor sects in the Southern Region, they were indifferent. They believed that if the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up, and they just needed to watch the show. The Ji family couldn't possibly retaliate against them first, could they?

To make an example of someone, you must kill a strong chicken, one that the monkey can't kill. If you kill a sick chicken or a chick, the monkey won't be afraid at all.

"Gentlemen, if there's nothing else, please feel free to leave," Lü Yao suddenly said, with a half-smile.

These words, neither warm nor cold, caused the two powerful figures to stiffen. Lü Yao had used them to trick the Ji family, but it was also Lü Yao who protected them, preventing them from being reduced to ashes in the clash of imperial weapons.

"Haha, in that case, my Wan Chu Holy Land will take its leave now."

Seeing this, Wan Chu, the eldest brother, turned around and left decisively.

The powerful figure from the Purple Mansion Holy Land bowed and said, "The Purple Mansion will also take its leave. But Holy Son, don't forget, if the Ji family attacks, we will truly seek refuge with the Yao Guang!"

After saying that, he burst into laughter again, unleashed a divine light, opened a void passage, and led a group of people away in a flurry.

Lu Yao shook his head. He had never heard of the powerful figure from the Purple Mansion Holy Land, but his personality was not unpleasant.

At this moment, the powerful figure from the Feng family, who had remained silent until now, slowly stepped forward with Feng Huang. Feng Huang followed behind him, her beauty captivating and her demeanor unparalleled, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Holy Son of Yaoguang," the powerful figure from the Feng family said with a smile, his tone friendly. "We part today, and I don't know when we'll meet again. If you have time, you are welcome to visit my Feng family. I will certainly welcome you with open arms."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yao's heart skipped a beat.

What does this mean? This feeling... why does it seem familiar? I seem to have seen this tone and expression in my past life and in this life on Earth.

That tone, that expression, it all looks so much like...

Why does this feel like a blind date?

Alarm bells rang in Lü Yao's heart, but he remained outwardly calm, merely nodding slightly and replying noncommittally, "If fate allows, I will visit you."

The powerful figure from the Feng family said no more, smiled and nodded, then, along with Feng Huang, transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Before leaving, Phoenix glanced at Lü Yao again, her brows furrowing slightly. The curiosity in her eyes had vanished, replaced by a warning.

It seems to be saying:

Don't come to the Feng family, and don't overthink it.

Go to your Feng family? They're probably going to keep me as their son-in-law!

Phoenix doesn't even look down on the Great Perfection Holy Body that can challenge the Emperor, so how could she possibly look down on me?

Lü Yao inwardly mocked himself.

However, on the other hand, his desire to acquire a large number of sacred scriptures and to form a marriage alliance with the Great Emperor's lineage was a good idea.

The Feng family may have existed for millions of years, possessing a vast collection of scriptures, including more sage texts than the Yao Guang Holy Land.

But Phoenix really didn't appeal to him.

The goddess queen of the Jiang family, the holy maiden of Yaochi Holy Land, the princess of the four great dynasties of Zhongzhou, and Jue Youqing of the Great Thunderclap Temple in the Western Desert...

These are all the proud goddesses of the ancient Big Dipper star.

Let's first eliminate Jueyouqing. He always felt that it was a bit strange to have sex with the little nun. In the future, if he could build a good relationship with Shakyamuni, he could also obtain the scriptures of the ancient Buddha.

If we exclude the Goddess King of the Jiang family, as long as we rescue Jiang Taixu, given his character, the Hengyu Scripture and some sage inheritances should not be a problem. At worst, we can sacrifice some Nine Wonders Fruits and the essence blood of the Azure Emperor when treating Jiang Taixu.

The four great dynasties have no interaction for the time being, and the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land is currently here...

But Lü Yao seems somewhat resistant to getting married in order to seek Buddhist scriptures... If I have to get married when I don't have money, and I still have to get married when I have money, then I'll lose my freedom, won't I?

Never mind, we'll talk about it later.

At this time, Zi Fu and Wan Chu had already left, and only Yao Chi Saintess remained.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi came here specifically to deliver invitations to the major powers in the Southern Region, so she only brought a half-step Great Power and some female disciples.

She walked forward with light, graceful steps and took out an invitation.

Chapter 87 A Small Gathering of the Ruthless Clan

Seeing that many powerful figures had dispersed, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi gracefully stepped forward.

She was enveloped in a faint celestial glow, making it difficult to see her face clearly, as if she had been banished from the Jade Terrace to the mortal world.

Holding an invitation in his hand, it was neither gold nor jade, but made of a peculiar material. Engraved on it was a green pagoda, its body mottled, with what appeared to be tear stains flowing down its surface, exuding an indescribable desolate and ancient charm, as if a true immortal were weeping.

"Fellow Daoist," the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said in a clear and melodious voice, like a secluded mountain stream, "the peaches of immortality in the sacred land of Yaochi will soon ripen, and wondrous stones will also appear at the same time. Therefore, I hereby issue this invitation to heroes from all over the world to come to Yaochi together and appreciate the wonders."

Lu Yao accepted the invitation, its surface smooth to the touch. With a quick scan of his divine sense, he saw the time and location on it. It turned out that in addition to the ripening of the peaches, it also concerned the three strange stones of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

It's likely that only a handful of divine sons and holy sons from extremely powerful forces would need to be personally invited by the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

With some time still to go before the Peach Banquet, he readily agreed:

"The grand event at Yaochi is admired by all under heaven. I will definitely go then to witness the brilliance of the Eastern Wilderness's prodigies."

"After today, you will become the number one genius in the Southern Region. Even in the Central and Northern Regions, I'm afraid few will be able to fight you."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke gently, but Lü Yao did not underestimate the Holy Land of Yaochi because of it.

The Yaochi family has three supreme beings. Besides the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda, what other secrets do they possess? No one can say for sure.

Moreover, it has always been neutral, not involved in worldly disputes, and has an extremely high reputation.

This grand event will likely attract not only numerous holy lands and aristocratic families from the Eastern Wilderness, but also geniuses and prodigies from the Hundred Sects and Four Great Dynasties of the Central Plains, who will surely cross realms to attend.

Coupled with the feud between Yao Guang and the Ji family, this was destined to be a momentous occasion.

"I still need to send an invitation to the Ji family, so I'll be leaving now."

Seeing that he agreed, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said no more and rode away on the divine rainbow.

It's unclear who the Ji family can send; Ji Haoyue is highly unlikely to be among them.

In the original storyline, there was also a Ji Haiyue in the Ji family, but he didn't appear this time. Could it be him?

After the Holy Maiden of Yaochi departed, the Sect Leader of Taixuan warmly invited Lü Yao and the Dragon Head Peak Master to Xingfeng to have a cup of Daoist tea, so that he could fulfill his duties as host and guest.

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Lü Yao readily agreed, because he still had designs on the Tai Xuan Sect.

So he stood in the middle, with the Tai Xuan Sect Leader and the Dragon Head Peak Master on his sides, and Yao Guang and Yao Xi following closely behind, as they boarded a jade boat.

The remaining Tai Xuan Sect disciples were all sent away to assist the Tai Xuan Sect in restoring the mountains and rivers destroyed in the clash of imperial weapons.

Above the star peak, spiritual energy abounds. Even in broad daylight, one can feel the rich power of the stars descending from the heavens, nourishing this sacred mountain.

"Yunfei, bring me my treasured Dao tea and offer it to the fellow Daoists of Yaoguang Holy Land."

The leader of the Tai Xuan Sect smiled and led the four into an elegant garden.

Coincidentally, Lü Yao's "old acquaintance" was also here, tending to the flowers and plants, with the guqin placed on the stone table in the pavilion.

It was Hua Yunfei, the grandson of the former headmaster of the Tai Xuan Sect.

Upon seeing Hua Yunfei, the Dragon Head Peak Master revealed a strange smile, lingering meaningfully on Hua Yunfei for a moment.

Hua Yunfei naturally didn't recognize the Dragon Head Peak Master, but he had just met Lü Yao, and was taken aback.

What are you standing there for?

It wasn't until the Tai Xuan Sect Leader urged him that he snapped out of his daze and quickly turned around to fetch the jar of treasured Dao tea.

He had only ever seen the incarnation of Elder Zhang Taishang, and had never seen the other true faces of the Ruthless Clan, so he did not find anything unusual about the Dragon Head Peak Master's smile.

But Lü Yao rolled his eyes at the Dragon Head Peak Master, his eyes carrying a warning. The latter coughed lightly and suppressed his smile.
