Chapter 926: Luck

Yun Zhi held the note left by Hui Doudou, deep in thought.

"The Grey Fairy has been killing those in the know so frequently, yet she has never made a move against Senior Ao Ling and my junior brother."

"Senior Ao Ling is easy enough to explain. When the Grey Fairy tried to kill Senior Ao Ling in the Xinhuo Dynasty, her attacks were blocked many times by the dragon-patterned bracelet. Now that the bracelet is fully charged and possesses the ability to traverse space, the Grey Fairy knows that whether she launches a sneak attack or tries to trap Senior Ao Ling, it would be an extremely difficult task."

"But why hasn't she ever laid a hand on Junior Brother?"

"Could it be she knows that if she moves against him, she will definitely be the unfortunate one?"

Yun Zhi pondered for a moment before dismissing the thought. If the Grey Fairy had known how dangerous her junior brother was, she wouldn't have acted at the Sword Pavilion.

"Is it because she inherited the luck of the Senior Fairy, instinctively avoiding the worst option?"

"Back at the Sword Pavilion, if the Grey Fairy had decided to deal with Junior Brother first and the Yingtian Corpse later, then she would have been in terrible luck."

"That must be it. She was originally the Senior Fairy herself, so possessing the Senior Fairy's luck is only natural."

To verify her hypothesis, Yun Zhi created a hidden pocket world next to the fourth death-row prisoner and concealed herself inside.

Logically speaking, Hui Doudou should not have been able to sense Yun Zhi, yet during the entire time Yun Zhi was hidden in the pocket world, Hui Doudou never made a move. Only when Yun Zhi left the pocket world and traveled far away did Hui Doudou finally kill the prisoner.

"As expected, it is a matter of luck."

"It seems that if I want to deal with the Grey Fairy, I can only rely on luck stronger than hers."

Yun Zhi stopped bothering Hui Doudou and left the small mountain.

……

The world only knew that the power of the sun had strengthened, but very few knew the reason.

The Yaoyang Sect happened to belong to that "very few" category.

"The sudden surge in solar power must mean one of the seals has been undone!" The high-ranking officials of the Yaoyang Sect were all thrilled. What did this signify? It signified that their recent development of the solar energy industry had silently received the endorsement of the sun itself!

Granted, an expert had indeed undone a seal on the sun, but then again, why wasn't the seal undone at any other time, but precisely when the solar energy industry was developing in full swing?

There are no coincidences in this world; everything is ordained by fate.

"This is a divine revelation, the sun telling us that we must work hard to develop the solar energy industry!"

Although the inspection in the Imperial City had not gone smoothly and they had almost faced mortal danger, under Mu Baiyi's persuasion, the two sects reached an agreement, both consenting to use the Imperial City as a starting point to manufacture solar energy products.

By now, they had already produced solar lamps, solar water heaters, and other products, which were widely acclaimed.

"Speaking of which, the smooth promotion of the solar lamps is really thanks to someone mysteriously buying up a huge batch of candles, causing a candle shortage in the market. Many commoners bought our solar lights just to give them a try." A senior official of the Yaoyang Sect lamented, feeling that this path was indeed the right one.

In the past, they thought about ascending to the sun every day, which was fraught with difficulties and burned countless people to death. Now that they were developing the solar energy industry, everything had turned for the better.

"Moreover, the Jiuyou Sect is also quite dedicated to cooperating with us, thinking of ways to promote our products." Sect Master Chi said, feeling that Mu Baiyi and Shi Huagu in particular were admirable for studying marketing strategies day and night, such as advertising with the help of illusionary bubbles, acting with extreme speed.

The two great demonic sects cooperating in good faith was something unimaginable in the past.

'Undoing the sun's seal... could it have been done by the Ancient Heavenly Court?' Sect Master Chi suddenly had such a thought flash through his mind.

Although there was no evidence, this feeling just suddenly sprouted within him.

Sect Master Chi often felt fortunate that he had taken refuge with the Ancient Heavenly Court early on. With the help of the Ancient Heavenly Court, his say in the Yaoyang Sect grew day by day.

Now that the sun had undone its first seal, the strength of all the disciples in the Yaoyang Sect had increased dramatically. He even felt he could attempt to break through to the Tribulation Transmutation Stage to become a truly powerful expert, free from any further mortal peril.

……

"You are Eldest Senior Sister's fellow villager?" Third Senior Sister Gan Tian circled around Yun Mengmeng with great interest. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, rendering her blind, yet she behaved as though she was scrutinizing Yun Mengmeng closely.

She had gone out to seek inspiration for her melodies and had just returned today, only to find a newcomer at Tianmen Peak.

Upon asking around, she discovered this person was actually Eldest Senior Sister's fellow villager.

Eldest Senior Sister rarely mentioned matters regarding her hometown, and Gan Tian only knew that Eldest Senior Sister was born in a secret realm and was brought out by their Master. Other than that, she knew nothing.

"Quickly tell me, where is Eldest Senior Sister's hometown, and what does it look like?" When it came to matters involving Eldest Senior Sister, Gan Tian was completely unlike her usual placid self when playing the zither.

Lu Yang just watched from the side without stopping her; he was also quite curious about Eldest Senior Sister's past.

Oh, dark history excluded.

Yun Mengmeng shook her head vigorously, shutting her eager mouth. Xiao Zhi had warned her that she could not speak about matters concerning the secret realm, especially not to the Big Boss and the Second Boss.

"Sister Mengmeng, just tell us." Lu Yang asked, employing a gentle strategy, which made Yun Mengmeng quite swayed.

Fortunately, her willpower was steadfast, and she refused to speak, leaving Lu Yang and Gan Tian quite discouraged.

"Little Lu, I heard something happened at the Sword Pavilion. Are you alright?" Suddenly, a voice of concern that had not been heard for a long time arrived, leaving both Lu Yang and Gan Tian stunned for a moment.

Master was back!

It had been two years since they last saw Master, hadn't it?

Previously, Daoist Buyu was far away in the Demon Domain. When he heard about the events at the Sword Pavilion—how Lu Yang had held off the Yingtian Immortal until the battle between the two Immortals and then fallen into a coma—he immediately rushed back.

He was already in the Tribulation Transmutation Stage, so his cultivation was beyond comparison. Many people who wanted to find him couldn't, and his flight back was quite smooth.

Patriarch Jin was no longer by Daoist Buyu's side. With the popularization of solar lamps, the candles hoarded by the Qiongqi Clan became useless items and could only be sold at a loss, losing them a lot of money.

To make up for the losses, Patriarch Jin had to temporarily give up learning from Daoist Buyu and hurried back to the Qiongqi Clan to find a solution.

Daoist Buyu was halfway up Tianmen Peak. He had not yet seen Lu Yang, but he could feel Lu Yang bouncing around at the top of the mountain, letting out a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright, Little Lu."

Daoist Buyu arrived at the summit, and before he could say a second sentence, he saw a sharp attack striking toward him, scaring him into hastily dodging.

"You're the one who took Xiao Zhi away back then, and you still dare to show your face!" Yun Mengmeng grew furious upon seeing Daoist Buyu, pouncing forward with a ferocious growl.

If Daoist Buyu hadn't appeared and told Xiao Zhi how wonderful the outside world was, Xiao Zhi wouldn't have left the secret realm, causing the two of them to be separated for hundreds of years.

You bad peach!

Daoist Buyu was somewhat dazed, unable to grasp the situation. How could he be ambushed when he had just returned to his own territory?

Who possessed such great capability to dare ambush him on Tianmen Peak?
