Chapter 361.1: Sect Head (1/2)
The immortals who Lu Yun had saved from the Blithe Entrapment Formation broke out of their stunned stupor and sat down cross-legged to recover their inner energy.
……
“He’s just putting up a front. I’ll bet he has nothing left after scaring away that wuss Beigong Xuan.” The Witherdew celestial emperor paused when he saw Lu Yun’s next moves. The seventeen lesser cannons were melting. Some had even cracked and were close to shattering.
“However, Lu Yun extended an olive branch in not destroying the formation. It would seem that he isn’t willing to erupt in open hostilities between us. I, Tuoba Jie, have a penchant for killing, but I’m not an unreasonable man.” This was a tall and slender man with fair and clean cut looks, but a beastly bloodlust twinkled in his eyes. He eagerly shifted his gaze to the arcane dao immortal of House Donglin.
“Let us continue, Donglin E.” [1]
Swoosh!
The celestial emperor brandished his sword and advanced on the Donglin dao immortal.
Donglin E had been prepared to go after Lu Yun and settle the feud between the Dusk lord and House Donglin, but Tuoba Jie’s sudden attack caught him off guard and forced him to devote his attention to defense.
Meanwhile, numerous other Donglin immortals were converging on Lu Yun.
“Those seventeen cannons can’t be used, but no one said anything about the one Situ’s carrying. Why do you guys never learn?” Lu Yun shook his head with disappointment.
Bam!
White light shot out of the cannon on Situ Zong’s shoulder and decimated the aether dao immortal closest to him. The Donglin immortals shuddered and hurriedly back away.
Donglin E glared so hard that the corners of his eyes threatened to split. Rage translated into enraged roars as he attempted to lunge at Lu Yun, but was blocked by the Witherdew celestial emperor every time.
“We are your opponent, Donglin E!” Tuoba Jie laughed heartily. “Wuss, blast a few more of those Donglin wimps to pieces and I’ll kill old man Donglin E. We can split the treasures here!”
Lu Yun turned to Tuoba Jie in surprise. “Who’re you talking about, wuss?”
“Who are We… piss off, milksop. You’re the wuss here!!” Tuoba Jie cursed loudly, almost having fallen for Lu Yun’s verbal trick.
Lu Yun shrugged and had Situ Zong aim the cannon at the celestial emperor.
“What are you doing?!” Tuoba Jie’s expression twisted. What the hell was Lu Yun thinking?!
“The Star Demon Sect is mine.” Lu Yun pointed at himself. “You made it suffer great losses, so I’m getting payback!”
“What? You’re saying you’re the sect head of the Star Demon Sect?!” His claim stunned the crowd into stillness.
The Star Demon Sect had suddenly emerged twenty thousand years ago and had since grown to become the most powerful demon sect in the world of immortals. But suddenly it was... Lu Yun’s? He was the sect head?
The sect was shrouded in mystery and its inner structure unusually complicated. Many factions in the world of immortals had attempted to infiltrate the sect, but to no avail. Almost everyone entering the sect ended up wholeheartedly devoted to it, cutting themselves off from their original factions. Quite a few even became counterspies and sold their old factions out.
One thing was confirmed, though, and that was that no one knew who the sect head was. But here Lu Yun was, claiming to own the sect!
