Dugu Meng sneered, "Do you think we'd believe you? Once the Peerless Divine Sword is in your hands, would you return it to us?"
Li Yao shook his head slightly and said, "In that case, I have no choice but to use force."
Dugu Meng immediately drew her longsword and stood in front of Li Yao, shouting to Dugu Ming and Shi Wuzun, "You two go quickly, I'll hold him off."
"younger sister!"
"Second Miss!"
Dugu Ming and Shi Wuzun stood there, hesitant.
Dugu Meng urged, "Hurry up and go!"
"None of you will escape!"
Li Yao chuckled softly, and with a casual wave of his hand, a domineering force sent Dugu Meng flying.
"younger sister!"
Dugu Ming exclaimed in surprise.
"Young Master, you go quickly, I'll hold him off."
With the Dugu Sword on his back, Shi Wuzun dragged the sword with his left hand and with his right hand, he pushed Li Yao hard with a palm.
"This is the Tathagata Palm?!"
Li Yao smiled slightly.
Immediately, he clenched his fist and hurled it at Shi Wuzun.
Great Demon-Subduing Fist!
boom!
As their fists and palms collided, a tremendous force erupted, sending Shi Wuzun and Dugu Jian's bodies flying.
Dugu Ming had already set off at full speed, running forward as fast as he could.
Li Yao laughed at Dugu Ming's retreating figure, "I'll let you run another forty meters!"
Just as Dugu Ming was about to disappear from his sight.
His figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"What incredible speed!"
Dugu Meng and Shi Wuzun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It seems that Dugu Ming cannot escape Li Yao's grasp.
Sure enough, a moment later, Li Yao returned to the scene, carrying Dugu Ming like a chick.
Li Yao threw Dugu Ming to the ground.
At the same time, the Peerless Divine Sword had already fallen into his hands.
He immediately copied the Peerless Divine Sword.
Of course, he did not return the original Peerless Divine Sword to Dugu Ming as a trophy.
Actually, he was also thinking of Dugu Ming.
The Peerless Divine Sword remaining in Dugu Ming's hands was like a time bomb, threatening his life at any moment.
Li Yao is saving Dugu Ming!
Luck +21!
Divine Soul +13!
...
Tathagata Palm*1!
...
I've got the Tathagata Palm technique.
Although Shi Wuzun's strength is not very strong, it does not mean that his 'Buddha's Palm' is not strong.
You must understand, the world of Fengyun is a very complex place.
Besides the four divine beasts, which created countless superhuman powerhouses, the story also involves some ancient secrets of gods and demons.
For example, the two chosen ones in the world of Fengyun were transformed from the primordial energy of Nuwa, the goddess who mended the sky in mythology.
In this world's setting, Nuwa is the younger sister of the god Pangu, and is almost a key figure in driving the development of the entire Fengyun world.
Moreover, besides Nuwa, there is another deity or Buddha figure in this world who transcends the timeline.
That is: Vairocana Buddha.
Even Xiao Sanxiao, who possessed the blood of the dragon turtle, lived the longest, and was the most legendary, was completely unaware of the existence of the Great Sun Tathagata.
It can be said that Vairocana Buddha is the most mysterious figure in the entire world of Fengyun.
Legend has it that the Tathagata Palm technique was created by the Great Sun Tathagata.
In order to save all living beings and relieve them from calamities, he passed on the Tathagata Palm technique to mortals.
The Tathagata Palm is powerful enough to counter natural disasters and calamities, and to subdue demons and monsters.
Li Yao was unsure whether this Great Sun Tathagata was the true master of Buddhism.
It is also unclear whether the Tathagata Palm technique that Shi Wuzun learned was passed down by the Great Sun Tathagata.
However, one thing is certain: the power of the Tathagata Palm is definitely not as weak as the Venerable Shi Wuzun has shown.
Now that he had obtained the Peerless Divine Sword, Li Yao planned to make a trip to Lingyun Cave.
Chapter 230 The Wind and Clouds Submit, Exploring the Lingyun Cave (Revised)
Li Yao, holding the Peerless Divine Sword, was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of Dugu Meng's angry and resentful expression out of the corner of his eye.
"Are you not convinced?"
Li Yao patted the Peerless Divine Sword and said, "If you're not convinced, go back and practice your swordsmanship diligently, then defeat me, avenge your father and uncle, and reclaim Peerless City and the Peerless Divine Sword."
In fact, Dugu Meng's talent in swordsmanship is extremely high, far surpassing that of Dugu Ming. If she didn't dislike fighting and killing, her current swordsmanship skills would definitely be no less than those of the fake Dugu Yifang.
Li Yao's provocation could be seen as a way of stimulating Dugu Meng's desire to practice swordsmanship.
Dugu Meng was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, you wait, one day I will defeat you with my own hands."
"I'm waiting!"
Li Yao shrugged, and with a flash, disappeared from the three people's sight.
Upon returning to Wushuang City, Li Yao first summoned Duan Lang to his study and used the Soul Transfer Technique and the Yin Soul Parasitism Technique to implant a divine soul into Duan Lang's brain.
From then on, Duan Lang would be obedient to him and would not harbor any disloyal thoughts.
In the original novel, Duan Lang accidentally discovered a divine general inside an iceberg, and then used the Fire Kirin Sword to break through the iceberg and rescue the divine general.
Later, the god appreciated Duan Lang's talent, took him as his disciple, and passed on the 'World-Destroying Demon Body' to Duan Lang.
Since Duan Lang was destined to possess the 'World-Destroying Demon Body', Li Yao passed it on to him.
This surprised and delighted Duan Lang.
Although Li Yao had implanted a divine soul into his brain, he still had his own independent thoughts. Apart from being loyal to Li Yao, he was no different from before.
He still yearned to learn more advanced martial arts and restore the prestige of the Duan family.
Now that Li Yao has just accepted him as a disciple, he has already taught him the divine skill 'World-Destroying Demon Body'.
Just by hearing the name of this divine skill, you can tell that it's incredibly powerful.
This delighted him.
To his even greater surprise, Li Yao appointed him as the head of one of the branches of Wushuang City.
Li Yao valued Duan Lang so highly because Duan Lang was very capable and had considerable leadership skills.
By training Duan Lang to be his right-hand man, he wouldn't need to personally handle certain matters.
To Li Yao's surprise, thanks to Duan Lang's involvement and his strong persuasion, Nie Feng was actually willing to join Wushuang City.
Then Nie Feng persuaded Bu Jingyun to stay, and Bu Jingyun remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
With these two chosen ones joining Wushuang City, it is now even more powerful.
Li Yao handed over the other two hall master positions to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, while the original hall master was demoted to deputy hall master.
He did not implant a divine soul to control Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.
Because he had no need to control these two people.
Nie Feng is kind-hearted, upright, and hates evil. Unless he suffers a stroke, he will not do anything outrageous.
Although Bu Jingyun is ruthless, he is a cold-faced but warm-hearted person who always harbors good intentions.
Therefore, Li Yao trusted these two people completely.
After arranging things in Wushuang City, Li Yao set off for Lingyun Cave.

Soon after, Li Yao arrived at the confluence of the Minjiang River, the Qingyi River, and the Dadu River.
Here, the blue waves surge and the water reflects the sky, surrounded by towering peaks and varied mountain ranges, creating a delightful landscape.
At the junction of the mountains and the great river, there sits a giant Buddha statue, tens of feet tall.
The Buddha statue is well-proportioned, with its hands resting on its knees and a solemn expression. Built against the mountain, it is extremely magnificent.
"The waters submerged the Buddha's knees, and the Lingyun Cave was set ablaze!"
Looking at the Leshan Giant Buddha in front of him, this sentence immediately came to Li Yao's mind.
The entrance to Lingyun Cave is located at the navel of this large Buddha statue.
Li Yao's eyes were sharp as lightning, and he spotted the entrance to Lingyun Cave at a glance.
