“Excuse me, fellow cultivator, do you know those two bald men in the mud pit?” Peach Blossom Leaf politely asked the hook-nosed leader.

At the same time, she was puzzled. She didn’t remember Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou being bald.

What kind of mishap could have caused them to become bald?

Peach Blossom Leaf paused for a moment, realizing that with those two around, nothing would surprise her.

The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain thought Peach Blossom Leaf and Barbarian Bone had come from afar to seek revenge, so they quickly shook their heads and said they didn’t know them.

“We also just arrived and don’t know the two bald heroes. We only heard that one of them is called Lu Yang, suspected to be a Buddhist disciple, proficient in Arhat Fist. Anyone hit by his Arhat Fist loses their hair.”

Peach Blossom Leaf: “…”

When did Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou become Buddhists?

Which Buddhist sect would be so blind as to accept these two?

As far as she knew, the abbot of the Hanging Temple was always clamoring to suppress Daoist Non-Speaker, calling him a scourge.

Barbarian Bone pondered for a moment and understood the deeper meaning behind Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s actions: “While traveling, they need to hide their identities. Brother Lu and Brother Meng know their actions are ostentatious and might implicate the Dao Seeking Sect, so they shaved their heads and pretended to be Buddhists to avoid trouble!”

Barbarian Bone thought Eldest Senior Sister was indeed remarkable. When she sent them to the Demon Subjugation Pass to learn from Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, she must have foreseen this situation.

Sure enough, they had learned quite a bit already.

“Do you two know them?” The hook-nosed leader saw the change in Peach Blossom Leaf and Barbarian Bone’s expressions and suspected they knew each other.

“I am Peach Blossom Leaf, this is Barbarian Bone, and the two in the mud pit are Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. The four of us are disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect,” Peach Blossom Leaf explained.

“Dao Seeking Sect?!” The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain were shocked, not expecting Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to have such an astonishing background.

On second thought, it made sense. The two young heroes could easily defeat disciples from first-grade sects, so their backing must be far greater than a first-grade sect.

But being from the Dao Seeking Sect was truly terrifying.

What was the Dao Seeking Sect? One of the Five Great Immortal Sects with a history of 120,000 years, older than the Great Xia Dynasty, with unfathomable foundations. There were even rumors that the Dao Seeking Sect’s power was unparalleled, making it the foremost of the Five Great Immortal Sects!

The strongest sect!

The hook-nosed leader sighed in relief, glad they were not enemies.

He then explained that the five of them were hired by Meng Jingzhou as guides and that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had come to seize the Twin Stem Lotus.

“Core formation, huh?” Peach Blossom Leaf nodded. She and Barbarian Bone were also on the verge of the late Foundation Building stage, seeking opportunities in the dense forest for core formation.

“Could it be that Brother Lu intends to find an opportunity for core formation in battle, thus deliberately inciting public anger and being besieged?” Peach Blossom Leaf suspiciously looked at Lu Yang, considering it the most likely scenario.

Lu Yang was under a lot of pressure.

He came here just to seize the Twin Stem Lotus, and using Arhat Fist was purely in self-defense.

He hadn’t expected that a set of Arhat Fist techniques would lead him to face the wrath of nearly a hundred late Foundation Building stage cultivators and more than a dozen Golden Core stage cultivators.

Meng Jingzhou was deeply moved. Earlier, when he asked Lu Yang for help, Lu Yang had surprisingly taken the initiative to draw aggro, and now no one was paying attention to him.

Such loyalty!

Lu Yang calmly explained, “Fellow cultivators, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. I have a friend who is skilled in crafting and can even make wigs. After this matter is settled, I can take you to him…”

“Go to hell!” The crowd didn’t listen to Lu Yang’s explanation at all and rushed at him en masse.

Lu Yang’s combat prowess was exceptional, capable of taking on late Golden Core stage cultivators, but facing such a large number of opponents, he still felt his strength was limited.

While Lu Yang felt his power was limited, those besieging him found his strength unfathomable. Despite only being at the late Foundation Building stage, he was handling the siege with ease. Not even a Golden Core stage cultivator could achieve such a feat.

“Shrink Earth!”

Lu Yang used the Shrink Earth technique, attempting to escape.

“He’s using an earth escape technique!” someone in the crowd, proficient in earth-based spells, quickly identified Lu Yang’s skill.

Without hesitation, they attacked the ground, forcing Lu Yang to emerge.

Struggling to fend off enemies from all directions, Lu Yang spotted Peach Blossom Leaf and Barbarian Bone standing by the lakeside, and they seemed like his saviors.

“Junior Brother Barbarian, come save me!” Lu Yang shouted. “Junior Sister Peach, help from the shore!”

Barbarian Bone, seeing the situation, jumped into the mud pit to rescue Lu Yang.

Meng Jingzhou also broke through the obstacles and reached Lu Yang’s side.

At this moment, the three-member team from the Undying Sect reunited, unleashing immense power.

“You all know what to do, right?”

Lu Yang faced the enemy, while Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone nodded in understanding.

“Fusion!”

The three shouted simultaneously, reenacting their fusion battle technique.

This time, however, Lu Yang was the main body, holding Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone.

The onlookers hesitated for a moment, never having seen such a fighting style.

Peach Blossom Leaf also paused on the shore, having never seen such a formation. Additionally, she was unsure of her role from the shore as instructed by Lu Yang.

Lu Yang snorted, channeling sword energy into Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone, making them exceptionally sharp, like two swords.

“Show them our power!” Lu Yang shouted.

As a sword spirit root cultivator, Lu Yang had avoided using his sword, Qingfeng Sword, fearing its excessive power might kill people. Now, with Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone in his hands, he no longer had to worry.

These two were almost like blunt weapons, just with an added layer of sword energy, ensuring they wouldn’t kill anyone.

Lu Yang’s months of practicing dual-wielding sword techniques now had a purpose. He swung Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone around like a top, spinning in the mud pit.

Anyone hit by them was sent flying, including hidden Golden Core stage cultivators.

After the fall of the Undying Sect, the three had returned to the Dao Seeking Sect, practicing their spinning technique. This time, they could spin much longer than before!

“Stay away from them; this move won’t last long!” Duan Hongchen, with his battle experience, quickly spotted the weakness of the technique.

Indeed, although the three had practiced diligently, prolonged spinning would ultimately tire them out.

“Brother Lu, I’m about to throw up,” Barbarian Bone transmitted to Lu Yang.

“Me too,” Meng Jingzhou added.

“Trust in Junior Sister Peach,” Lu Yang calmly responded.

Peach Blossom Leaf, understanding Lu Yang’s intentions, opened her red paper umbrella, placed two fingers on her lips, and softly recited a spell, creating an illusion barrier.

The illusion, which affected perception, enveloped the mud pit.

Her specialty was illusions.

However, her target wasn’t the enemy but Lu Yang and the other two.

The dizziness the trio had been experiencing immediately dissipated. They felt weightless, as if they couldn’t sense their surroundings, and the dizziness vanished.

Lu Yang deliberately refrained from using the “Enlightenment of Heart and Nature Technique” keeping himself within the illusion.

In reality, Lu Yang and the other two continued to fight, but now Peach Blossom Leaf controlled their bodies through the illusion, disconnecting their consciousness from the external environment. They couldn’t feel the changes in their bodies!

This eliminated the dizziness problem!

Thus, the fusion battle technique became flawless!
