Daoist Buyu Returns to the Sect

Not far from the Dao Seeking Sect, two sneaky figures approached the sect grounds. "Big Brother, can a member of the demon race like me enter the Dao Seeking Sect as well?" Clan Head Jin asked, his brow furrowed with deep worry. Daoist Buyu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment. "Our sect has always treated everyone equally, making no distinction between the demon race and humans. But as for Patriarch Hanhai, that's hard to say. Maybe the venerable elder dislikes the demon race. "How about this: you hide here while I go ahead to scout the path." "Watch out and stay safe, Big Brother." "Don't worry. I've roamed the world for so many years—when has an accident ever happened to me?" Daoist Buyu's appearance was quite unlike his usual slovenly self. Today, he wore a pristine, elegant Daoist robe, his topknot was neatly bound, and a few strands of his sparse beard fluttered gently in the breeze. With steady, composed strides, Daoist Buyu walked toward the mountain gate. Soon, under Clan Head Jin's watchful gaze, Daoist Buyu was spotted by members of the major visiting sects. A massive throng from the various sects surged out of the Dao Seeking Sect all at once, shouting as they hunted Daoist Buyu down. Daoist Buyu fled in utter disarray, nearly getting caught several times. Watching this, Clan Head Jin shivered from head to toe, feeling that human cultivators were even more brutal than his demon race. Yet alongside his terror, a surge of warmth and gratitude welled up in his heart. Daoist Buyu had used himself as bait to lure out the danger and protect him. Acknowledging this man as his big brother truly hadn't been in vain! "Big Brother is truly righteous and loyal. "When I get back, I should speak with Little Ancestor to see if our two sides can form an alliance. With two half-immortals presiding—Daoist Lord Hanhai and Little Ancestor—securing a spot in the top ten during the struggle of the Golden Age shouldn't be difficult." ... "Old Scoundrel Buyu, stop running if you have any guts!" Every single Body Integration stage cultivator visiting the Dao Seeking Sect bore tangled grudges against Daoist Buyu. Although they had not managed to pay their respects to the legendary Daoist Lord Hanhai on this visit, catching sight of Daoist Buyu made the trip worthwhile. "You dare chase me?! Watch out, or Patriarch Hanhai will settle scores with you afterward!" Even as Daoist Buyu fled in panicked flight, he didn't forget to intimidate the crowd. Daoist Buyu felt that his luck had been wretched for the past six months or so. Nonstop misfortune plagued him as he was found and hunted down time and again. And now, having finally reached his own sect's front door, he ran into so many familiar faces. "Should I go pay my respects at a Buddhist temple?" Daoist Buyu hesitated for a moment, recalling the evaluation his second disciple, Ye Zijin, had received in the Buddhist Kingdom: "As if the Buddha had passed away." He figured Buddhism probably wouldn't bless a master like him either. A flash of saber light grazed past his body, instantly snapping Daoist Buyu back to reality. "Escaping with my life comes first! I can worry about luck later! "Man and Sword as One!" With a low cry, Daoist Buyu merged into his longsword. The blade transformed into an escaping light, moving at blistering speed. "One Sword Into Ten Thousand Swords!" The longsword shook, multiplying into tens of millions of blades. Every single one was identical to the original in length, style, engraving, and even the sword tassel. Even when probing with divine sense, it was impossible to tell which one was the original sword. Daoist Buyu hid within the blades. "Open the Dharma Eye!" "Heavenly Eye, reveal!" "All karma lies upon the board!" "Demon-Revealing Mirror!" "Perceive with blazing clarity!" Every faction displayed their divine abilities, determined to capture Daoist Buyu. Unfortunately, Daoist Buyu was hardly so easy to catch. His escape technique was grounded in the Sword Dao, refined through guidance from the "Thief Ancestor," and perfected with his own personal insights. Without someone at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, no one stood a chance of catching him. ... "Master truly is popular," Lu Yang sighed, standing at the mountain gate. Third Senior Sister Gan Tian stood beside him. A dazzling swarm of flying swords filled the sky, prompting even the Immortal Fairy to praise Daoist Buyu's talent.
