Chapter 1833: Chapter 1860: Visualized Item: Shadow Demon
"Hehe, you found me."
Yu Huan Shui turned around, chuckling.
"It’s really you. What are you doing at my Hehuan Sect? Weren’t you captured by the Netherworld?"
Elder Yue’s face turned pale, cold sweat pouring down as if he had seen some terrifying creature.
"Hehe, Mr. Yu is back again, just borrowing this treasure land for a while, nothing else."
Yu Huan Shui was honest, but Elder Yue wouldn’t listen to his explanation.
An arrow that pierces the clouds, bringing forth thousands of troops and horses.
Fireworks burst open in the sky above the Hehuan Sect, releasing beautiful sparks.
"I didn’t expect you would come back to my Hehuan Sect causing trouble today. Are you mocking our sect as deserted?"
"Xian’er, step aside; today may see a bloody battle."
Elder Yue’s aura surged, killing intent apparent.
Li Xiaobai was speechless: "So you’re quite a hot commodity. What did you do to them before?"
Yu Huan Shui felt innocent: "I didn’t do anything. My old base in the Eight Desolates Domain has no connection with this Hehuan Sect."
"Maybe because I wrote stories in my early years and read a lot of people’s memories, my fame spread far and wide?"
Yu Huan Shui was troubled.
Rumble!
Thunder roared loudly in the sky.
Shafts of light descended, appearing before Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui.
"Yue, what’s so alarming that you need to signal within the sect?"
A middle-aged man strode forward confidently, just as Elder Yue wanted to explain, he stopped him with a hand.
"No need to say more. Seeing Yu Huan Shui explains everything."
"Mr. Yu, wasn’t it said you wouldn’t set foot in my Hehuan Sect?"
The middle-aged man spoke coldly, eyes blazing hotly, with a phantom shadow appearing behind him, his Visualized Item, which instantly covered the entire sect.
"I..."
Yu Huan Shui wanted to say something but was cut off by Wuqing again.
"No need to argue. After all these years, you finally can’t sit still and want to attack my Hehuan Sect?"
"Looks like Mr. Yu’s latest work involves love affairs. I heard you once mocked the Hehuan Sect for producing filthy people, publicly stating you would never touch such sordid stories in your life."
"Yu Huan Shui, you’ve ultimately become what you hated, strutting in and holding our disciples hostage, openly disregarding our Hehuan Sect!"
"The memories of Hehuan Sect will never fall under your control."
The shadow behind the middle-aged man grew larger, blocking out the sun.
Li Xiaobai noticed large shadows flickering below the shadow, as if a multitude of creatures were hiding within.
"Huying, Mr. Yu is merely passing through. Activate the Formation, and I’ll leave immediately."
Yu Huan Shui was helpless; his reputation wasn’t good, having deceived too many to enhance the realism of his creations by reading cultivators’ memories.
He thought not having encountered Hehuan Sect there wouldn’t be much prejudice, but the reaction was more intense, as if he were a demon.
"Sect Master, don’t get too close; you might be affected by his Law of Fate and lose."
Elder Yue reminded from the side.
"No need for you to say, just as powers are shifting in the Boundary Sea, capturing this guy today would be a favor to the Eight Desolates Domain."
Huying waved his hands in the air, and Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui began to sink, falling into the shadow lake.
Immortal Hu was already stunned. The Mr. Yu who had been with her was Yu Huan Shui, known as the leader of readers nationwide, the Great Demon King of the Eight Desolates Domain, no wonder he looked familiar.
On the sect’s list of top ten people not to touch, Yu Huan Shui’s portrait was ranked first.
It’s not because he was the strongest, but anyone who contacted him had no secrets left, even the color of their underwear would be exposed.
"Is it already coming to blows?"
Li Xiaobai was shocked, releasing "Wealthy Li Xiaobai," but it was of no use since it was the Sect Master acting; he was powerless to resist.
"Huying is the Hehuan Sect’s Sect Master, his Visualized Item is the Shadow Demon. The ground covered by the shadow turns to a surface; once dragged down, one becomes a mindless zombie, with only destructive desire, and those figures below are his former foes."
"Under the Shadow Lake lies the Law of Slaughter, affecting one’s mind. Be careful, being dragged down means one’s life ends here."
Behind Yu Huan Shui, a large book floated, a hand holding a pen reached out from it.
Gate of Destiny!
The Power of Laws surged, but Huying was prepared, taking Elder Yue and Immortal Hu, their forms appearing at the distant edge of the sky. The shadow’s coverage area was the entire sect, and he didn’t need to get close to Yu Huan Shui, merely waiting for both to be dragged into the lake.
"Hopefully, the Formation opens in time."
Yu Huan Shui tossed a crystal stone towards the teleportation formation behind him, a hand emerged from the book and smashed the crystal, Spiritual Energy spread, activating the teleportation formation.
"So you can activate the Formation?"
Li Xiaobai was astonished.
"I was trying to save some resources. It’s just opening a teleportation formation. Who knew an Elder would personally come."
Yu Huan Shui spread his hands: "It must’ve been that Immortal Hu secretly passing on information. Usually, Elders can’t be bothered with this."
Li Xiaobai: "Why aren’t you sinking?"
Yu Huan Shui: "Because I wrote for myself not to sink."
Li Xiaobai: "Then why haven’t you written for me?"
Yu Huan Shui: "You seemed so calm, I thought you didn’t need it."
Li Xiaobai: "I’m just a head above water now."
"Should I write it for you now?"
"No thanks, I want to teach him a lesson."
With that said, Li Xiaobai sank into the lake, leaving only Yu Huan Shui on the surface. His sinking slowed as the water only reached his knees, but if this continued, he’d inevitably be dragged to the bottom.
He could only hope the teleportation formation opens quickly, allowing him to be transported away before being dragged down.
"Huying isn’t inexperienced; little brother, do you have some trump card?"
...
In the distance, on the Sect Master’s Peak.
Huying stood with hands behind, ten Elders lined behind him.
"Never expected that while we were away, Yu Huan Shui would exploit the opportunity to sneak in."
"Fortunately, Elder Yue was alert enough to notice in time. No matter his purpose at Hehuan Sect, his only path is death."
"Indeed, it’s said he was captured by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, sealed in the Netherworld, his cultivation sealed, yet he escaped. But it seems his power is insufficient now; otherwise, the power of his Law of Fate could at least control me once."
"Strong as Yu Huan Shui is, how can he compare to the Sect Master? It’s like striking the stone; Sect Master, please look, that young man on the surface has already sunk. Once Yu Huan Shui is captured, we can establish relations with the Eight Desolates Domain."
A group of Elders laughed heartily. While Yu Huan Shui was absent, the Eight Desolates Domain underwent drastic changes; this scholar might be unaware, for the Eight Desolates Domain was no longer his old base, and the world’s readers no longer followed his words.
Immortal Hu, in the rear, felt uneasy hearing these words, as if Li Xiaobai’s comments were right. Though the Sect Master and Elders often preached morality to the disciples, when gathered privately, they spoke of power, territory, annexation, and dealings.
Suddenly, she heard Huying softly exclaim.
"What’s going on? Why is the number of Shadow Demons below the surface suddenly reduced?"
"What’s happening?"
