Nine Turns of Nirvana

Chapter 903: Unkind Visitors

Lu Yu quietly sneaked into the Moon Viewing Peak.

This was his third time to the Moon Viewing Peak, but he didn't expect that this time, like the first time, he needed to hide his whereabouts from others.

So he didn't even enter the gate of the Moon Viewing Peak, but waited for Li Wangji at the foot of the mountain. This scene was the same as when he first came to the Dali Sword Sect. Even the place where he met Li Wangji was still the thatched hut.

"Huh, you are so fast, you got here before us?"

After a while, Fang Haoran's voice suddenly came from the side.

Lu Yu turned around and saw Fang Haoran and Li Wangji coming together.

This scene was almost exactly the same as that year, the only difference was that half of Li Wangji's body was bloody and looked hideous, without the original immortal style and calm demeanor.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, this thatched house is still here, just like when I first came here..." Lu Yu said with emotion.

This sentence immediately brought Li Wangji and Fang Haoran back to the scene when they first met.

For Lu Yu, these few years were a rich and long experience, but compared to the long lifespans of Fang and Li, these few years were as short as a fleeting moment.

It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, the young boy had grown into a powerful figure who could stir up the situation.

"Yes, I didn't expect that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye... When you were in my hands, you were just like a small shrimp, but now you can be on equal footing with me..." Fang Haoran said with a melancholy look on his face.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and looked at Li Wangji: "Master, you arranged for me to meet here because I offended Baiyun Peak and it was inconvenient for me to enter the house openly... I wonder what the reason is this time?"

Li Wangji looked at Lu Yu calmly and said: "It seems that you have guessed it a little bit..."

Then he didn't say anything more, but waved to Fang Haoran on the side, indicating that he should be responsible for the guard.

Fang Haoran nodded slightly and left without saying a word.

Li Wangji sighed deeply and continued: "I'm afraid that Tailing Patriarch... and Yunxiao Patriarch are not of the same mind!"

"Master... What do you mean?" Lu Yu said in surprise.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Tailing Patriarch has any ulterior motives towards Dali Sword Sect... It's just that on the issue of you, I don't think Tailing Patriarch will be in the same step with Yunxiao Patriarch." Li Wangji said.

"Really?" Lu Yu was stunned.

Li Wangji paused and said, "A few days ago, Tailing Patriarch personally treated my wounds. I spent two days with him. Do you know how many times he mentioned your name to me during these two days?"

Lu Yu's heart moved, but his face remained calm: "A lot? How many times?"

Li Wangji said calmly: "No less than thirty times."

"This... I am really flattered!" Lu Yu exclaimed.

"It can be seen that Tailing Patriarch is very interested in you. Even the Patriarch himself does not hide the fact that a large part of the reason why he returned this time is for you." Li Wangji said.

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Lu Yu asked.

Li Wangji's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he said: "I still remember clearly the scene when I received the message sent back by the old man Yunxiao... At that time, he had clearly stated his attitude towards you in the mantra: if you get it, I am lucky, if you lose it, I will die. I should not interfere too much with your behavior. Just treat it as an opportunity for our Dali Sword Sect..."

"Therefore, my attitude towards you is also quite peaceful. I never ask about or interfere with your cultivation progress, and give you the greatest degree of freedom..."

Lu Yu was stunned.

I didn't expect that I received all kinds of preferential treatment in the Dali Sword Sect because of what the old man Yunxiao said. So, I really owed him a big favor.

Li Wangji continued, "However, Tailing Patriarch has a completely different attitude. Although I don't know what his purpose is, I clearly felt his desire to control you during the communication with him..."

"Perhaps he wants to accept you as his last disciple to inherit his legacy...Perhaps, he wants to communicate with you about Taoism and let you explain the mysteries of the Star Sword Art to him...Or maybe he wants you to refine some special elixir for him...In short, his attitude towards you is not as easy-going as Yunxiao Patriarch..."

Lu Yu was stunned and said, "Master, do you mean... this Tailing Patriarch will restrict my freedom? So you told me not to see him? But he is an ancestor of the Tiangang Realm after all, and I am just a small disciple of the True Transmission. How can I get around him?"

Li Wangji said, "I don't know what kind of request he will make to you when you go to see him; he may not have much malice towards you...But at least one thing is certain, that is, in a short period of time, you will rest and leave the range of Dali Sword Sect and set off for Woyun Ancient City..."

Lu Yu was startled: "Is this ancestor so domineering?"

Li Wangji said: "For an ancestor in the Tiangang realm, it is not easy to give up the rank of the Great Dao in the Nine Heavens and return to the mortal world. There must be sufficient reasons..."

"If the ancestor Tailing wants to save the situation of the Dali Sword Sect, then I have nothing to say, but now his interest in you is obviously greater than other things, which makes people doubtful..."

"Master, what do you think we should do now? Do we have to sneak away to the Woyun Ancient City like this?" Lu Yu asked.

Li Wangji said lightly: "If you still want to try to go to the Woyun Ancient City, then I think this is the only chance..."

Lu Yu frowned and was still thinking.

But at this moment, a light of a communication talisman came from the sky and fell in front of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was slightly stunned, unfolded the communication talisman, and his face suddenly tightened.

"I think there is no such opportunity anymore... My master's aunt just received a message from the Five Elders Peak, saying that Patriarch Tailing has learned about my exit from seclusion and will soon come to Jade Butterfly Peak in person to visit me."
