My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Chapter 395 Surrender and Keep Your Mouth Closed

Chu Lengyu was able to remain calm and composed in the face of danger because she had self-confidence.

No matter what methods these cultivators use, her true form is capable of resolving the situation.

Just as the battle reached its climax and the outcome was uncertain, a dignified old man suddenly appeared in the sky above Jade Smoke Island.

That face and expression were exactly the appearance of the Hundred Swords Pavilion Sect Leader that Chu Lengyu himself had transformed into with the help of the Blood Illusion Pearl.

As this "Sect Leader" appeared, an overwhelming and suffocating pressure descended from the sky, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, instantly enveloping the entire Jade Smoke Island.

This oppressive force was so tangible, so heavy, that it made it hard to breathe.

Everyone on the island, whether they were disciples of the Lan family or cultivators undergoing tribulation, felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping their throats.

Those who were already injured and weak even fainted.

The cultivators were still putting up a stubborn resistance, but under the overwhelming pressure of the Nascent Soul cultivator, they instantly became like chicks with their throats being choked.

The weapon in his hand fell involuntarily, his legs went weak as if filled with lead, and he had no power to resist at all.

Many of them even knelt down, trembling like leaves, not even having the courage to look up at that imposing figure.

The Lan family disciples were stunned at first, as if they couldn't believe their eyes, and then their faces showed expressions of ecstasy.

They exchanged excited glances, their eyes sparkling with excitement; some even clenched their fists and raised them high, cheering softly.

For the sect leader, he was like a pillar of strength, and now they had the strongest protection and no longer needed to fear the arrogance of these tribulation cultivators.

A look of shock flashed across Lan Zhengfeng's face.

He looked up at the majestic figure with utmost caution, feeling a deep sense of awe and gratitude.

His body trembled slightly. At this moment, all the pressure and worries vanished. The appearance of the sect leader would completely change the course of this battle.

The expressions of those cultivators who had undergone tribulations changed from surprise to fear and despair in an instant.

Zheng Buyi, who was originally full of confidence and thought victory was in his grasp, now stared wide-eyed, filled with astonishment and resentment.

She couldn't believe that her plan had been completely ruined by the appearance of the sect leader.

A beautiful dream shattered in an instant, leaving only a mess.

The two senior brothers from the Hundred Swords Pavilion, who had been feeling hopeless due to the strange poison, suddenly felt hopeful upon seeing their sect leader.

The sect leader, who was actually Chu Lengyu, had a cold and stern gaze as he swept across the entire area.

As he spoke, his voice boomed like thunder, shaking everyone's ears and making their spirits tremble: "All those cultivators who dare to cause trouble on Jade Smoke Island, surrender now, or you will be killed without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators were terrified.

They all simultaneously activated their escape lights and desperately fled at all costs, attempting to find a glimmer of hope.

However, with a gentle wave of his sleeve, the sect leader was unable to resist and was absorbed into his long sleeve.

These cultivators, who usually committed numerous evils, were now suppressed and had no power to resist, not even able to make a ripple.

Below, Zheng Buyi reacted even faster, knowing that if she were captured, she would surely die.

So she didn't hesitate to burn her life essence and unleash her inner potential, using an extremely fast escape technique in an attempt to escape and ascend to heaven.

However, with her mere Qi Refining Perfection cultivation, how could she possibly escape from this seemingly Nascent Soul but actually Divine Transformation expert?

With a gentle wave of his hand, the sect leader unleashed an invisible force that enveloped Zheng Buyi like a net.

She felt her body freeze, as if she were being crushed by thousands of mountains, unable to move an inch.

Upon seeing this, the Lan family members were overjoyed.

They originally thought that the other side had planned this all along, with inside and outside forces working together. They believed that this battle would be difficult and protracted, and even if they could repel these cultivators, the Lan family would have to pay a considerable price, and might even suffer serious damage.

Unexpectedly, the situation would reverse so quickly.

They cheered and jumped for joy.

Lan Zhengfeng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply before the sect leader, who was actually Chu Lengyu. His voice was full of gratitude: "The presence of the sect leader is an honor to Jade Smoke Island. The entire Lan family will never forget your great kindness."

His words were absolutely sincere.

For a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator to be willing to help their Foundation Establishment family, they must be incredibly lucky.

Now that he could actually speak with the sect leader face-to-face, Lan Zhengfeng was so excited he almost couldn't control his expression.

The sect leader nodded slightly: "Patriarch Lan, there's no need for such formalities. We, the Hundred Swords Pavilion, will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and will never tolerate any troublemakers."

These words immediately boosted the morale of the Lan family.

However, just as everyone was still immersed in the joy of victory, the sect leader, who was actually Chu Lengyu, suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.

His appearance and departure were so abrupt, leaving behind only an empty sky and the astonished faces of the crowd.

For the Lan family, everything that happened today felt like a dream.

They stared in the direction where their sect leader had disappeared, unable to recover for a long time.

In the banquet hall.

With a hint of seriousness, Chu Lengyu transmitted her voice to Lan Zhengfeng, saying, "Patriarch Lan, now that this matter has been settled, I hope you will keep quiet, especially regarding the matter of the sect leader. Do not let any rumors spread outside."

Lan Zhengfeng then came to his senses, nodding repeatedly with awe in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and replied, "I understand, I understand. Fellow Daoist, rest assured, the entire Lan family will keep this a secret."

"In addition, I would like to ask Patriarch Lan to hand over the Sand Vortex Beast to me."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Lan Zhengfeng's face, and then he suddenly realized what was going on.

He guessed that the sect leader must have given Chu Lengyu some instructions to come and retrieve this sand vortex beast.

Perhaps the sudden appearance of the Hundred Swords Pavilion leader today is also related to this Sand Vortex Beast.

Lan Zhengfeng was not naive enough to think that the Lan family, a mere Foundation Establishment family, was worthy of a Nascent Soul Grandmaster's personal intervention to protect them.

There must be some unknown secret behind this, and that secret is something that the Lan family can never uncover.

In the world of cultivation, knowing too much is often not a good thing; on the contrary, it may bring countless troubles.

Thinking of this, Lan Zhengfeng's expression became even more respectful.
