Choosing a fake Young Sect Master Lu was not an easy task.
It wasn't as simple as dragging any Golden Core Stage cultivator from the street; even under the command of the Di Jiang Order, a normal Golden Core Stage cultivator could not replicate a sect master of Young Master Lu's caliber.
At the very least, they would need a Golden Core Stage cultivator with a solid foundation, only then would there be room for maneuver.
Secondly, they must be skilled with a sword.
During the period when Young Sect Master Lu ran rampant in the Seek Dao Sect, the most eye-catching skill he possessed was his swordsmanship.
And this person should not belong to any major power.
The disappearance of disciples from a major power could easily lead to trouble.
Therefore, an elder of the Di Jiang Clan searched for half a day and could not find a suitable candidate.
He noticed Lu Yang with a precious sword on his back.
The Ancient Di Jiang had awakened two hundred years ago, and while it seemed that he had unified most of the Demon Territory within a mere half-year, in reality, this was the culmination of two hundred years of accumulated strength.
During those two hundred years, the Di Jiang Clan had collected various pieces of intelligence in secret, including information on the geniuses of the current era.
Whether it was Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, Bai Ming from the Five Elements Sect, or Shi Chan from the Suspension Temple, they knew their appearances.
This person carrying the precious sword was not among the disciples collected by the Di Jiang Clan; he must be either a loose cultivator or a disciple from a lesser-known power!
Perfect for impersonating Young Sect Master Lu!
The one in the black robe beside him appeared to only be at the Body Integration Realm, not quite a concern.
The elder of the Di Jiang Clan made his plans in secret.
With so many people around, it wasn't convenient to act; the Di Jiang Clan elder was very patient and followed the two.
Being at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, unless a Semi-Immortal intervened, no one could counter him; he would not be noticed.
"Why is someone following us continually?" Fairy Eternity frowned unhappily.
Jiang Lianyi also nodded, "Indeed, someone has been following us the whole time; it must be a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator from the Di Jiang Clan."
"What does he want?"
"Who cares."
"Right."
A human, a ghost, and a demon continued to roam Demon City.
"We are not allowed in here?"
Lu Yang came to the center of Demon City, which was cordoned off by a hundred-meter-tall temporary wall. Great demons at the Body Integration Realm guarded this area, and no one was allowed to enter without permission.
"This is the Heavenly Altar used for the founding ceremony," Jiang Lianyi explained after a quick scan with her Spiritual Sense, knowing what was inside.
"It looks like Zhu Tian has shed a lot of blood." The main body of the Heavenly Altar was made of colored glaze and white jade, precious even in Ancient Times—Lianyi didn't even have any.
If Lianyi desired some, she would need to take raw materials like sand and stones to the Time Immortal, adjust conditions like wind direction and temperature, and then request the Time Immortal use the Time Dao Fruit to craft a piece of colored glaze and white jade.
"Oh, it's fine to see during the founding ceremony," Lu Yang said, as seeing it in advance would lose its mysterious appeal.
"Shall we look around that street?" Lu Yang pointed towards the other side of a narrow passage.
"Sure."
A human and a demon entered the passageway, and the Di Jiang Clan elder finally seized the opportunity: he held his breath, focused, and quickly followed them.
With a swift movement, he soared through the air, appearing in front of Lu Yang and Jiang Lianyi.
"Boy, I've finally caught you at a good moment; you made me wait!"
Before Lu Yang could react, he saw the Di Jiang Clan elder swiftly pull out the Di Jiang Order, stimulating it with essence blood. The Illusory Shadow of Ancient Di Jiang emerged, becoming nearly tangible, with bared fangs and claws. It burst through Lu Yang's pupils into his Spiritual Space, taking control of him.
Wielding the Di Jiang Order was like the presence of an Ancient Ancestor itself; not to mention a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator, even someone at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage couldn't withstand it!
In the Spiritual Space, Fairy Eternity held the Illusory Shadow of Ancient Di Jiang by the neck with one hand, her expression bizarre. What kind of trick was this?
```
The Illusory Shadow of the Ancient Di Jiang fluttered about like a living creature, struggling with its limbs flailing and its six wings beating, whipping up a hurricane in the Spiritual Space.
Thud—
Fairy Eternity didn't even think, her other hand smashed down on the head of the Ancient Di Jiang Illusory Shadow, instantly interrupting its attack.
"A Semi-Immortal level spiritual attack, it does have some substance."
Fairy Eternity was very confident, within Lu Yang's Spiritual Space, she was an invincible existence.
At the same time, the walls of the Spiritual Space shimmered with light, and the runes kept changing as if they were preparing for a charged attack.
This was the contingency left by the Eldest Senior Sister in Lu Yang's Spiritual Space, ensuring his safety within.
The Ancient Di Jiang Illusory Shadow, blocked by Fairy Eternity, saw the runes around the walls fade and merge with the wall as if they had never appeared.
Fairy Eternity slightly exerted force with her right hand and crushed the Ancient Di Jiang Illusory Shadow.
From beginning to end, the Ancient Di Jiang Illusory Shadow offered no resistance.
