Chapter 245 Lü Qian: Ancestral Rules, Eliminate the Creditor
"In that case, you may all pay with your lives."
On the cliff above the jungle, Lü Qian stood backlit, his words calm and indifferent, yet radiating an abyss-like oppressive aura; his detached killing intent was like a cold winter wind.
The wind was fierce and the cold was biting, like facing judgment or falling into an abyss.
To onlookers, all they saw was the Taoist priest standing high above, gesturing with his sleeves, and the swirling peach wood sword suddenly bursting forth with dazzling sword light, transforming into a gigantic divine sword that blotted out the sun.
"Clang!"
Like a divine sword being drawn from its sheath, the sword's cry was melodious and high-pitched, and as the blade turned, thousands upon thousands of sword lights plummeted downwards.
The sword light moved swiftly and fiercely, like a dense rain of swords falling in the jungle, with the tip pointing directly at the foreign alien below.
High above, Lü Qian raised his hand and summoned a magnificent peach wood sword. Through the rain of swords, he looked sharply at the foreign woman in the center of the group.
The woman had an Asian face and appeared to be a foreigner from Southeast Asia.
A dazzling ruby adorned her forehead, much like the forehead ornaments commonly seen on people in Southeast Asia.
The falling sword light grazed her skin, and bright red blood gushed out. Under Lü Qian's special care, her situation became increasingly dangerous, as if she would be beheaded by the sword light at any moment.
However, the woman remained calm and composed amidst the escalating dangers, staying safely under the protection of the expedition team. Her eyes were serene, and her actions were extremely meticulous.
He was so meticulous that he didn't seem like a person with independent thinking; he was more like a puppet being manipulated.
Now, the manipulated puppet seemed to sense Lü Qian's gaze. She peeked out from her protection and looked up directly into Lü Qian's eyes without flinching.
The woman stared directly into Lü Qian's eyes, her empty, lifeless eyes showing no fear or timidity.
"Qu Tong!"
"With your mastery of divine craftsmanship and dual skills, you've achieved the ability to travel thousands of miles in your spirit."
"Your true form is never revealed, yet you can know what's happening thousands of miles away. You've certainly mastered the Eight Extraordinary Techniques quite a bit, but unfortunately, they're not the right path."
The crimson-gold patterns in Lü Qian's pupils appeared and disappeared intermittently. He first looked at the puppet with great interest, then shook his head with slight disappointment.
In his eyes, this puppet-like woman could not be considered an independent person, but rather a shell inhabited by the fragmented soul of another.
This method, as well as the wisp of soul currently residing in the body, were not unfamiliar to Lü Qian; in fact, they were quite familiar to him.
Qu Tong, president of Yaoxing Society, is a suspected side effect of Duanmu Ying's misuse of the Dual-Hand Technique.
Through years of practice, Lü Qian has gained a profound understanding of the "Dual-Handed Technique".
Human existence is a matter of life and death.
Life and health are the foundation of a person's existence, and the "Dual-Handed" skill, one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, directly shakes a person's existence at the level of life and health.
In Lü Qian's view, Duanmu Ying probably didn't know why, but used the Double-Handed Technique to copy and disassemble himself.
Lu Qian didn't know how many pieces it was broken down into, but Qu Tong was probably the largest fragment.
As a member of the Lü family, Lü Qian's relationship with the other party was definitely not harmonious. After all, Lü Ci, the head of the Lü family, still kept the origin of the Lü family's Double-Handed Technique a secret.
Moreover, when Lü Qian went into seclusion to integrate the Tongtian Road, his own bloodline and life were in trouble, which meant that his very essence was malfunctioning.
All of this suggests that the Lü family may have some karmic debt.
Regarding this potential karmic debt, Lü Qian felt there was no point in hiding it; it should be settled when necessary, and at worst, the creditor could be eliminated.
Ultimately, to understand cause and effect and karmic consequences, one must either address the issue at hand and resolve it clearly, or address the person who raised the problem and resolve the issue at its source.
What? You're asking if this is too dark, not the Taoist principle of tranquility and non-action?
Then Lü Qian could only point to the experiences of the various patriarchs who attained enlightenment and say, "Fellow Daoist, you are attached to appearances."
Since the ancients followed this rule, Lü Qian, as a descendant, could not disregard the rules set by his ancestors.
"Non-action" means doing everything; by resolving the debt, this humble Taoist priest will naturally find peace and tranquility.
At worst, I can recite a passage from the "Lingbao Tianzun Duren Jing" for the creditor so that the other party can also find peace and tranquility.
According to the original story, although it is unknown how many pieces Duanmu Ying was broken, Qu Tong's identity as a creditor is definitely confirmed.
As a fellow user of dual-wielding techniques, Lü Qian initially held some expectations for Qu Tong.
I hope that the other party can also transform skills into techniques, just like Grandmaster Zhou Shengtai, turning the unique skill of "Dual-Handed Technique" into a technique similar to "Seventy-Two Transformations," just like "Feng Hou Qi Men."
This way, the creditor can make the most of his remaining time and energy to contribute to Lü Qian's spiritual path.
But now it seems that Qu Tong did not meet Lü Qian's expectations; in his opinion, her methods were still too crude.
"First, use your dual-wielding hands to create a physical body related to yourself, and then have the Divine Craftsman forge a magical artifact that allows for the resonance and control of your split soul?"
The ruby on the woman's forehead was not a simple decoration pasted on her skin, but a steel nail piercing straight into her brain.
The dazzling, blood-red ruby was actually the end of a steel nail; more than an ornament, it resembled a remotely controlled magical artifact.
This magical artifact, resembling a steel nail, can resonate with the soul and thoughts of Qu Tong's original body, which is thousands of miles away, and the two share the five senses.
"The principle behind this is so similar to that of cell phones and cell towers; it's so low-tech!"
"It's a tragedy that you've reduced the path to heaven to a skill that's not even as good as technique."
Just as Lü Qian was expressing his contempt for the Thirty-Six Thieves once again, the woman below, who had been as composed as a puppet, suddenly underwent a strange change.
"Buzz!"
In Lü Qian's vision, the ruby on the other person's forehead suddenly trembled and shone, and his previously lifeless eyes lit up, gaining a bit more human liveliness.
It was as if, in that instant, a wisp of human soul appeared within the puppet's body.
"laugh."
Having acquired a human soul, the puppet looked at Lü Qian, a mocking smile playing on its lips, and a soft, disdainful sigh escaped from between its teeth.
The sound was barely perceptible amidst the overwhelming rain of swords, like a small fish gently breathing on the surface of a pond during a downpour.
It's as if no matter how fierce the rain of swords is, it's all insignificant in the eyes of this little fish.
"Yo ho, so you're relying on being a split soul while your real body is thousands of miles away, huh?"
"I misspoke before; this wrong path of yours is indeed quite useful for saving your life."
"You have personality, but I don't like it. Today, I'll show you what the true mystical arts are all about!"
Seeing this, Lü Qian shook his head. The power of the Wind and Thunder Samadhi emanated from his body. He grabbed the peach wood sword and flashed away. "My children, wave the flags and beat the drums, and watch your king avenge you."
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The golden monkeys that had been lying dead on the ground all got up, beat their chests and stamped their feet, shouting excitedly, as if they were really cheering for Lü Qian.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, at the headquarters of the Shining Star Society.
Qu Tong sat cross-legged on the bed with her palms facing upwards. A dazzling ruby adorned her forehead, and a mesmerizing red light shone in her eyes, shimmering and revealing the scene within Tongtian Valley.
"laugh."
Before Qu Tong could finish her contemptuous remark, a piercing scream rang out.
A pale white Samadhi Fire, imbued with the power of wind and thunder, materialized out of thin air, raging through the dimly lit room.
"what!"

First, let me explain the situation: There's a problem with the author's credits. I'm fed up. The plan keeps changing. Can't you just give me a straight answer?
