Chapter 267 - This is what the Number One in the World is capable of (1/2)

It felt very surreal, as if Lu Xuan was locking her down at soul level, making any of her attempts to resist to be completely futile.

There was never any true shackle placed on her, yet she felt as if she was shackled all the same.

That was what made it so terrifying.

She was able to sense that finger attack clearly about to strike, yet she had no way of evading it at all.

Cold sweat burst all over her, making her look like she just got fished out of the water.

A bitter smirk was seen on her face. While she knew that there was probably quite a gap between her and Lu Xuan, she utterly never expected said gap to be such a chasm.

She was almost utterly helpless before him. It could even be said he could have killed her without breaking a sweat, if he so fancied.

Her cultivation level at Celestial Realm, which she was so confident in, was practically as useful as cardboard when standing off against him.

“So this is what the number one in the number is capable of eh? Impressive indeed.”

Wei Ziyu forced a smile on her face somewhat, feeling rather exhausted just to talk alone, as she was feeling very tired all over by then.

“That’s me overwhelming you at mental level.”

Lu Xuan commented plainly.

“You’re indeed powerful, and I’d say that you’re quite formidable for one at Celestial Realm, but I’m not like the others. No Celestial would be able to do much before me.”

Wei Ziyu was very shocked deep down. She was a person of immense power of will, as she would not have been able to rise in a place like the military. Yet, she remained utterly helpless when Lu Xuan was going about overwhelming her mentally.

It was like he was simply toying with her.

She finally realized by then, what he truly meant when he said that she was no match for him.

They were indeed not even at the same order of magnitude to begin with.

He then patted her on the head and said with a smile, “Just keep working at it.”

He then boarded the helicopter that was standing by for quite some time shortly after with Ling Huang, heading straight for the Guimen Sect.

Wei Ziyu remained exasperated, before smiling for a bit and sighed, saying, “It’s indeed a pity. Someone that exceptional would definitely be a good match, but too bad he’s not a good match for me, unless I’m willing to act as if he’s the center of the world, with him as the sun and me the moon. I’d really have to keep my head down all the time, as that’d be the only way our family could work, but I’d no longer be me if I were to do so.”

She was of mind of steel, and all that she said was but for to vent her exasperation, which she quickly let go of. While Lu Xuan was an excellent person, he was nonetheless more than what she could handle.

The Guimen Sect was situated somewhere at the cliffs of the Kunlun Mountains, which in turn were located in the western regions.

The helicopter brought both Lu Xuan and Ling Huang to the feet of the Kunlun Mountains.

To put it precisely, while the place was one of the renowned, revered mountains of Huaxia, it was nonetheless a place of perilous terrain, where danger lurked everywhere.

There was not even a clear track leading up to the mountains to be found, and one could only vaguely make out a path leading to the peak.

In Ling Huang’s eyes, the looks of things around and the steep terrain before him, simply made the entire mountain look like some demon with its mouth wide opened.

The Guimen Sect!

He was vaguely feeling a chill running down his spine, and the terrain before him felt like a demon with its bloody mouth wide opened.

On the other hand, Lu Xuan was able to see more than that, thanks to his Delusion-breaker Eyes.

There was a demonic qi permeating the entire region. One could even say that the entire mountain felt like a naturally formed mountain of the demons.

Despite his breadth of knowledge, he was still unable to figure out why such a ghastly mountain would be born among the mountains of the Kunlun region. Conventional sense had it that the dragon vein would have been able to easily dispel all that demonic qi, when it was at the height of its power.

Precisely-put, someone seemed to have placed a lockdown on the demonic qi around those parts, enabling it to settle naturally.

There was a stern voice heard from above not long after Lu Xuan and Ling Huang arrived at the mountain, saying, “Halt, intruders!”

“Noisy, cheap tricks.”
