Chapter 103: Beauty Lies Within Books
Yan Ruyu flew over and, as she approached, gave off an even more otherworldly aura, as if she might ride the wind at any moment and ascend straight to the heavenly palace.
She stood beside Qin Yao, her white robes fluttering, her black hair cascading down, her eyes like water, seemingly shrouded in mist, giving her a dreamlike and ethereal appearance.
Qin Yao bowed and then whispered a few words in his ear.
Then Yan Ruyu looked at Lu Sheng, her gaze slightly serious, and said, "Young Master Lu, although I don't know where you obtained this ancient scripture, please don't say anything more, or it might bring you a fatal disaster."
Lu Sheng laughed and said, "Aren't you already in mortal danger? Having more debts is never a bad thing, so what are you afraid of?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "They cannot be compared."
Her eyes were clear, and she immediately guessed the reason: "I heard that Young Master Ye is on good terms with the younger sister of the Ji family's divine body, and Young Master Lu comes from the same place as Young Master Ye. If you have any gains, you must not show them to others."
"You're a pretty nice guy," Lu Sheng said with a smile.
Then he said seriously, "Where did that old bastard who stole my brother go? Tell him to come see me, and we'll see if I'll take him down."
Yan Ruyu calmly replied, "I have no idea which one is in seclusion."
"Tch, I don't believe you. You go back and tell him to wait, and we'll see if I don't mess with him."
Lu Sheng instantly ruined the atmosphere, threatening directly in the demon clan's stronghold: "Even the Azure Emperor would have to call me 'fellow Daoist.' He's just a great-great-great-grandson. Quickly leave your inheritance to my friend and then kick the bucket. Out of filial piety, I'll give him a resurrection coin."
Yan Ruyu frowned, and Qin Yao spoke up for her, saying, "You have quite the nerve, daring to speak so arrogantly within my demon clan's secret realm."
"You dare to casually invoke the name of the Demon Emperor?"
"Why not?" Lu Sheng said disdainfully, "When the Azure Emperor sees me, he will definitely be more friendly than that guy who possessed my friend's body."
Qin Yao curled her lip and said, "What a presumptuous little brat."
"You're attacking my appearance, aren't you? You're dead. I'll tell the Peacock King that you're discriminating against his youthful spirit."
Lu Sheng and Qin Yao started arguing, which gave Yan Ruyu a headache.
"Yao'er, you may step back now."
Yan Ruyu spoke, separating Lu Sheng and Qin Yao.
Qin Yao bowed slightly, then glared at Lu Sheng and stepped back.
Lu Sheng persisted, saying, "Hmph, scared now? Next time you see me, call me 'Dad.' Whoever chickens out is a dog."
Yan Ruyu stood in the middle, saying helplessly, "Young Master Lu, why bother?"
"Why bother?" Lu Sheng sneered. "I don't care about anything else, but if that old monster dares to be disrespectful, he's dead."
As they were talking, an old woman from the demon race appeared. Unlike Qin Yao's teasing, the old woman was even more annoying. She immediately said in a cold voice, "Your Highness, why waste your breath talking to this guy? Since he can compete with the divine body and his physique is different from ordinary people, why not sacrifice him to the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "He is the person that Uncle Peacock King has taken a liking to."
"Your Highness, no matter how much the Peacock King values a human, he can never compare to you."
The old woman continued, "You are a descendant of the Demon Emperor, and you will surely become an unparalleled being in the future."
She glared fiercely at Lu Sheng and said, "This human's slander of the Demon Emperor is a desecration of your lineage."
Lu Sheng remained unhurried, a purple flame lamp now in his hand. He smiled slightly and asked, "Are you finished?"
"Now that I've said all that, I'll send you on your way."
With a gentle breath, he sent out a raging fire dragon.
Yan Ruyu's expression changed, and she wanted to use her methods, but the old woman confidently said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment, let me capture this ungrateful fellow!"
She is a renowned figure among the demon race, possessing formidable strength, yet she couldn't defeat a mere youth who had just undergone tribulation?
"Kid, you've got yourself killed!"
The old woman unleashed a pagoda, its power immense.
His eyes flashed with a cold light, as if he wanted to suppress Lu Sheng on the spot.
"A mere ant dares to rival the sun's brilliance?"
Lu Sheng scoffed, unleashing a fiery dragon that roared forth with purple flames. The old woman's expression changed the moment she made contact, and she exclaimed in shock, "What kind of flame is that?"
"The purple flames in the Fire Domain, what's wrong? You're so close, why didn't you go in and take a look?"
Lu Sheng sneered, "Oh, I remember now, the sixth level of purple fire, trash like you can't get in."
"This is impossible! Only important figures can enter the sixth level. How could you possibly possess such flames!"
The old woman fled in a sorry state, no longer daring to be so arrogant.
Lu Sheng shook the purple flame lamp, unleashing another fire dragon. The old woman wailed, "Your Highness, save me!"
Yan Ruyu was about to make a move, but Lu Sheng pressed a large handprint on her.
Just as Yan Ruyu launched her counterattack, purple flames enveloped the old woman, instantly reducing her to ashes.
Yan Ruyu got angry and said, "Lu Sheng, you've gone too far!"
"That old bastard asked for it!"
Lu Sheng, completely unfazed, retorted, "Does she think she's the Peacock King?"
"Does he even deserve my offering of the Sacred Heart?"
"You might as well swallow that heart!"
Yan Ruyu coldly made her move, saying, "You must not disrespect the Demon Emperor."
Qin Yao, standing behind, was dumbfounded. How come everyone these days is getting crazier than the last?
"What constitutes disrespect?" Lu Sheng asked bluntly. "If a demon's heart can help me ascend to the Nine Heavens one day, the Azure Emperor will offer me his congratulations."
"Only you people care about such trivial things."
He said without any hesitation, "The Azure Emperor is the great emperor of this era, while you are being chased all over the world. He doesn't care about the so-called inheritance."
"Out of consideration for future generations, I'm only granting you some favors."
"If the Green Emperor were to appear, how would it differ between him and me?"
"If the Azure Emperor were to appear, that useless person who has possessed another's body would not even be of interest to him."
Yan Ruyu, cold and aloof, said in a soft voice, "Enough, Lu Sheng. Our respect is not a license for your arrogance."
"And what about the whereabouts of the Azure Emperor?"
Lu Sheng suddenly stopped, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "Did you know that the Azure Emperor is developing a Celestial Realm within the Desolate Tower?"
Yan Ruyu's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "How could you possibly know!"
She obtained the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart and, based on clues, guessed that the Azure Emperor might not be dead and was very likely hiding in the legendary Desolate Tower.
But how could Lu Sheng say such things with such certainty?
"I just guessed, but it seems I guessed right."
Lu Sheng suddenly smiled and said in a cynical tone, "Yan Ruyu, you seem a little too easy to fool."
Yan Ruyu was extremely embarrassed and angry, and she unleashed a series of divine lights, but they were no match for Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng laughed loudly, "I soar freely across the world, what can the Demon Emperor do to me?"
"Come, try my Five-Colored Divine Light!"
He unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Light, a precious technique he obtained from the ancient demonic bird Peacock. Its radiance flashed, striking down countless spells.
Demon cultivators appeared one after another in the secret realm, but most of them were only at the Dao Palace level, and only a very small number were at the Four Extremes level. Lu Sheng fought against a group of them, and the enemy showed signs of defeat.
