Who Let Him Cultivate?! - Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 267: Everything I Play With, Nine Parts Truth, One Part Lie_1
 

The other five demon beasts controlled by the Herbal Celestial Grass are remarkable. Although they cannot match Jiuying’s level, they are top-tier among the late stage Golden Core demon beasts.

Even a cultivator of the same level would find it challenging to face these five demon beasts.

Unfortunately for them, their opponents are disciples of the Seek Dao Sect, the best at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In the past, Tao Yaoye and Man Gu would have struggled against late stage Golden Core demon beasts, but after continuous trials and tribulations, their strength is no longer what it used to be.

In the words of Lu Yang, they have reached the pinnacle of the late Foundation Establishment Stage.

If Tao Yaoye and Man Gu were so strong, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou who had stepped forward earlier were undoubtedly stronger still. They couldn’t only be measured by the Foundation Establishment Stage anymore.

These five late Golden Core demon beasts pose no threat!

Lu Yang’s opponent is a four-armed black gorilla, even its pupils are black.

With a sword ringing, a limb from the four-armed black gorilla was cut off, it let out a furious roar.

Roar——

“Stop howling, Arhat Fist!” Lu Yang throws a punch, demonstrating the Arhat Fist. Although his strength is not as great, the effect of the punch is not diminished.

The black gorilla felt a chill on the top of its head. It reached up to find the top of its head bald, completely bare.

What had this human done to it?!

“Well, a bald black gorilla; such a demon beast is unprecedented!” Lu Yang was on high alert. What a cultivator fears the most is the unknown. This black gorilla, unrecorded in mankind’s history, must be extremely powerful!

“What?! It’s the bald black gorilla from ancient legends!” Meng Jingzhou who was also in battle noticed Lu Yang’s opponent, his face change drastically.

“Legend has it that the realm of a bald black gorilla can be measured by the number of hair on its head. One hair represents the Qi Refinement Stage, also known as the one-hair realm. Two hairs- the Foundation Establishment Stage, also known as the two-hair realm. Three hairs represent the Golden Core Stage, also known as the three-hair realm!”

“What stage does this black gorilla belong to?!”

Lu Yang’s grim expression was about to drip water: “The bald realm!”

Song Hua: “Could the two of you not stage a drama while we are fighting? I get distracted easily.”

“Oh, sorry about that, just a habit.”

Song Hua: “…”

Lucky for them, the Meng Family and Seek Dao Sect members are all adept in combat, they could even spare a moment for a joke amidst a battle of different levels. Anyone else would have run cold long ago.

“Lu, save me!” Playing the periphery, Song Wuguo was identified by a demon beast. The beast’s tail swept across him, breaking half of his ribs.

Knowing that it was not a match for Lu Yang, the demon beast roared and continued its attack on Song Wuguo.

“Hold on!” Lu Yang fiercely dashed towards the demon beast, blocking it from reaching Song Wuguo.

The Green Peak Sword stood horizontally across his chest, no matter how hard the beast tried, it couldn’t move any further.

Just when Lu Yang was about to get serious and dispatch the demon beast once and for all.

Puchi——

A sharp dagger pierced through Lu Yang’s chest.

Lu Yang slowly turned his head, disbelief in his eyes as he looked at Song Wuguo: “Why…”

Meng Jingzhou saw the scene; his eyes turned bloodshot: “Lu Yang!”

He wanted to rush over and help Lu Yang, but the demon beasts attacked fiercely, it was impossible for him to escape.

“Song Wuguo, you deserve to die!”

The others felt the same way, but they were blocked by the demon beasts.

Having abandoned his earlier timid demeanor, Song Wuguo shook his head: “The dagger is poisoned, even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage would die. I might as well tell you before you die.”

“You are bait.”

“You are the strongest of us all. Once I control you, the others pose no threat.”

Song Wuguo turned his palm, revealing a seed, and slapped it towards Lu Yang’s Dantian.

“This is the seed of Herbal Celestial Grass. Relax, soon you will be the servant of the master.”

“No, why can’t the seed of Herbal Celestial Grass enter your body!”

Song Wuguo’s face changed, realizing something was wrong. He wanted to escape, but saw a chillingly eerie smile on Lu Yang’s face.

A mini Lu Yang crawled out from Lu Yang’s arms.

The mini Lu Yang grew to full size as soon as it met the wind. It took the Green Peak Sword and slayed the demon beast who was about to attack.

At the same time, the poisoned Lu Yang fell backward and merged with the ground.

“Clone?!” Song Wuguo’s eyes widened in disbelief.

For half a month, Lu Yang had been staying small and in his arms, controlling the clone to fight, to train his spiritual sense and improve his proficiency with the clone.

“I’ve been waiting for half a day, and you’ve finally made your move,” Lu Yang said with a smile.

“How did you discover me!” Song Wuguo was shocked. They had only been in contact for a short while and he believed he was flawless, without any exposure. How was he discovered?

“Song Wuguo, what the hell is going on!” Song Hua, watching this scene, was even more shocked than Song Wuguo. “You’ve been parasitized, when did this happen!”

Seeing that Lu Yang was safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and in high spirits, resolved the other four demon beasts.

Everyone was circling Song Wuguo, filled with rage.

Lu Yang gave a cold laugh, not caring to let Song Wuguo know his behavior was naive.

“When you introduced the Herbal Celestial Grass, you said it controls the demon beasts, using them as nourishment. The demon beasts we’ve met were all controlled by the Herbal Celestial Grass.”

“So the question is why would the Herbal Celestial Grass let the demon beasts kill people if they’re its nourishment?”

“The answer is simple because people are also the nourishment of the Herbal Celestial Grass.”

“If people are the nourishment of the Herbal Celestial Grass, then can it control the human race as well? The answer is definite.”

“So why didn’t you clarify this? Is it that the master refiner at the Unification stage had a failing brain, didn’t complete his writing? Or were you afraid we’d figure it out, so you deliberately didn’t introduce it?”

Lu Yang kicked Song Wuguo over, “Nine truths one fake, these are what I left to play with, to play these in front of me, you underestimated me, didn’t you?”

“I didn’t expose you all this time, was just waiting for you to lead us to the Herbal Celestial Grass.”

The depths of the dense forest were vast, it was hard to find the Herbal Celestial Grass without someone leading.

Song Wuguo planned to deceived Lu Yang and others to go, so Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou planned to use his plot against him.

After hearing Lu Yang’s explanation, Tao Yaoye finally understood where the inconsistency was.

Meng Jingzhou wasn’t surprised by this. The two previous shouts were all acting.

“Song Wuguo has been parasitized and controlled by the Herbal Celestial Grass, I can’t rule out the suspicion on you guys. Please cooperate and return to the Demon Suppressing Pass for inspection,” Lu Yang said coldly.

Having a betrayer in the Song family, Song Hua and others knew they were in the wrong and could only obediently return for inspection to prove their innocence.

“Heh, heh, heh,” Song Wuguo gave a dry laugh, his voice not human-like, “So what if you found out, do you still want to leave once you’ve made it here?”

As he spoke, bubbles kept rising from the swamp, like boiling water. Countless muddy figures emerged from beneath the swamp, some from the demon race and some from the human race. Judging by the energy they emitted, they were all at the Golden Core Stage, at least fifty to sixty of them!

Lu Yang suddenly remembered the warning the guild servant gave them when they first met, “People disappear in the dense forest every day, especially recently, more people have disappeared.”

“Could it be that this is the reason for the recent disappearance of cultivators?”

“No, wasn’t it said that the Herbal Celestial Grass can control a maximum of ten creatures?”

Not to mention the human and demon race that just emerged from the swamp, but just look at the ten demon beasts and one Song Wuguo from before.

That’s already eleven!

“Fairy, what’s going on?”

Fairy Eternity frowned, “Song Wuguo didn’t lie to you, an ordinary Herbal Celestial Grass can control up to ten creatures.”

“But what you’re facing is not an ordinary Herbal Celestial Grass, or to be precise, not an ordinary Spiritual Plant.”

“It has developed a consciousness, just like the Time Immortal, it’s a spiritually awakened plant.”
