Shi Feiyang had owed Lu Yu a favor last time, so when she took the initiative to visit this time, Shi Feiyang, knowing her intention, greeted her proactively.

Upon seeing Shi Feiyang, Lu Yu's face was full of smiles, making one feel as if bathed in the warm breeze of spring, as if she were a kindly and benevolent grandmother from next door.

However, in reality, the title "Cosmic Six Strange" referred to their formidable nature, with "cosmic" indicating a level that stood at the pinnacle of this time and space.

The number six indicated quantity, and the final word "strange" highlighted their heterodoxy and their character of being both orthodox and unorthodox.

The two Elders of the Great Wilderness Mountain, Elder Cangxu, and the previously known Xin Ruyu were all heterodox bigwigs, and there were also two hierarchs of the Demon Cult. Their way of doing things made it clear that their methods were both ruthless and insidious, reveling in the freedom of whims and the joy of swift revenge.

Those whom they did not hold in esteem were not even worth a glance; ordinary people could kowtow from the foot to the peak of the Great Wilderness Mountain and still fail to gain their attention.

Yet now, she showed great enthusiasm towards Shi Feiyang, even smilingly praising Shi Feiyang's disciples and Mo Zhui's brothers.

This was not her flattering too much; elevated figures like her valued face, so when they showed goodwill, it meant they genuinely wanted to make friends. They would care for everyone from the top down, without ever pretending to be elders or putting on airs.

Shi Feiyang welcomed her into a cave temporarily opened on the wall, serving her the best tea.

With a gleeful smile, Lu Yu talked to Shi Feiyang about Elder Kuzhu: "That old fool is stubbornly blind and can't extricate himself. He's brought this misery upon himself, and it seems that heaven wishes to use Daoist Shi to teach him a lesson!"

Her words sounded pleasant and served to set the tone of the matter.

Though the two Elders of the Great Wilderness Mountain had a thousand-year-old feud, after all, they were brethren of the same sect and cultivated on the same Great Wilderness Mountain. Even though the mountain was larger than West Pole Mountain, and her residence on South Star Plain was tens of thousands of miles away from Elder Kuzhu's Wuzhong Ridge, they were still on the same mountain.

In a sense, they were like quarrelsome lovers, sabotaging each other without fault. They would take delight in the other's misfortune if they suffered at the hands of an outsider, but they couldn't accept seeing the other killed directly. In such an instance, the other would surely try to intervene or even seek revenge.

Lu Yu's implication was that she was quite happy to see Elder Kuzhu taught a lesson in front of Shi Feiyang: "The old man's temper is extreme; he never speaks kindly. With Daoist Shi's Daoist power, you naturally would not fear him, yet he shamelessly plots against your juniors. If you were to fight him to the death, it would surely lead to catastrophic devastation and cause immense calamity.

I've come to help Daoist Shi teach him a lesson, let him understand the immensity of heaven and earth. Honestly, I also have my own selfish motives. Kuzhu, stubborn and prone to complications, if we join hands, we might cut down all his offshoots. If he has some good fortune, he may even come to fully understand the Dao; otherwise, we can suppress him for a few hundred years..."

Shi Feiyang also knew that the chances of completely killing Elder Kuzhu were extremely slim.

The world's top experts each had desperate measures that could drag an entire nation or even a continent to accompany them to their death, causing both to incite Heavenly Tribulation and Punishment, dragging each other to Hell.

Moreover, Elder Kuzhu also had some old friends; not to mention Lu Yu herself, Li Jingxu also had a good relationship with him, and the very grouping of the Cosmic Six Strange was propounded by Li Jingxu.

There was also Divine Camel Yi Xiu and others who had more or less some connection...

Shi Feiyang then asked Lu Yu what her plan was.

Lu Yu shared her plan: "He and I are of the same sect, siblings in cultivation. Though we have pursued our separate ways for a thousand years, we both have our unique insights, yet our foundation is the same. I am aware of the weakness in his temperament. Of course, he knows mine too. After so many years of overt and covert struggles, I've rarely gotten the better of him..."

As she spoke, she removed a hairpin from her hair: "This treasure is called the Star Absorption Divine Hairpin, capable of absorbing the stars of the heavenly cosmos, and it can also confuse Yin Yang and Invert the Five Elements, warping space and time. I ask you, Daoist Shi, to lay out an Array, while I cast an Illusion Technique to subtly control his Primordial Spirit, leading him into the cosmic environment, then subdue him in the illusion."

Shi Feiyang said, "May I borrow this treasure for a look?"

Lu Yu handed the Star Absorption Divine Hairpin to him.

Shi Feiyang took it in his hand, examined it carefully, and after intently sensing it for a moment, he returned it: "Indeed, it is a fine treasure. I too had thought to create a Void Illusion Realm to pull him in, so as not to harm the innocent. But as I wasn't completely sure, if he were to break free, the area for thousands of miles around Baiyang Mountain would be reduced to ruins. I can only resort to provoking him into battling elsewhere."

Lu Yu confidently smiled and said: "With Daoist Shi and me working together to deal with him, if even a single blade of grass or tree on Baiyang Mountain is damaged today, I shall perform Soldier Disintegration as an apology!"

The two began casting spells as Elder Kuzhu was soon to arrive.

Shi Feiyang took out the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, formed seals with both hands, and emitted Immortal Energy.

The treasure mirror absorbed the Immortal Energy, started to radiate a blue-gold light. It was not intense but was very rich. Gradually, it began to float, hovering above the cave, slanting downward, enveloping both Shi Feiyang and Lu Yu within.

The two exchanged a smile and a nod, then simultaneously disappeared from sight.

Following that, inside the treasure mirror, water, fire, wind, and lightning emerged, along with colorful blossoms and moving halos of dawn.

After a bout of chaos, a mountain appeared—it was Baiyang Mountain. Below the mountain was a valley, and inside the valley, a group of two-foot-tall beings were busily scuttling about.

On another side of Baiyang Mountain, there's an ancient tomb where several people are sitting, Shi Longgu, Mister Xia, Tang Shi, and Sui Yin, with three oddly-shaped large cauldrons standing behind them.

Suddenly, Shi Longgu felt an alarm within her heart, "Not good, an enemy is coming!"

The four of them hurriedly came out to look and saw a handsome young man in green clothes, holding a green bamboo staff in his hand, casually heading east. His walking seemed leisurely, but in reality, it was very fast, almost covering miles in a single step, using the Shrinking Land into Inches Technique.

A faint green light wrapped around the young man's body, likely used for invisibility through the Escape Skill.

Shi Longgu immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Halt! May I ask where you are headed, fellow Daoist?"

The young man was actually Elder Kuzhu, who was greatly surprised. His Taiyin Spirit Light Escape Technique was unique in that it enabled him to move invisibly, such that even someone of the Red-haired Ancestor's level would have difficulty detecting him. At most, they could sense an alert when he was in Human and Sword Unity, but they couldn't pinpoint his exact location.

And now this girl could actually see him!

Secondly, his Escape Skill appeared as if he was simply walking, but in reality, he could travel a thousand li in a single step, even faster than flying.

However, everything had seemed normal until, as he approached Baiyang Mountain, the effectiveness of the Shrinking Land into Inches Technique dropped dramatically. What was normally a distance of a thousand li in one step now became mere miles, as if the path to Baiyang Mountain was being stretched to its limits. He had cast the spell multiple times to speed up, yet it remained the same; the faster he went, the longer the journey seemed.

Just as doubt arose in his heart, a young girl stepped out to block his path.

It would have been surprising enough if Shi Longgu was just sensitively aware of someone passing by without knowing his exact location.

But Shi Longgu stood precisely in front of him, gazing directly at him, like a female bandit cutting off the road!

Elder Kuzhu was shocked, "Little girl, can you see me?"

Shi Longgu snorted coldly, "I'm not blind, how could I not see you? I'm asking you, who are you? Where is your home? Where are you heading? What are you planning to do?"

Elder Kuzhu felt that something was amiss, he glanced around, looked up at the sky, at the sun, and then at the trees and mountains on both sides, and didn't see anything untoward—it wasn't an illusion.

Observing Shi Longgu again, she seemed like a pretty ordinary junior Independent Immortal from a small sect. On closer inspection, he couldn't discern any high Daoist power from her, which was utterly bewildering. How did she see through him?

Shi Longgu noticed his staring and felt a spark of anger, yet Elder Kuzhu was just too good-looking...

Elder Kuzhu was extremely handsome, appearing seventeen or eighteen, with delicate features that still retained masculine lines, clear eyes, a full head of silver hair—thick and long—secured with a Jade Crown on top. Tall and slender, with an extraordinary bearing, as he stared at her intently, it made Shi Longgu's heart flutter.

Blushing, she exclaimed, "What are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll gouge out your eyeballs!"

She was puzzled by her own reaction; normally, she wasn't this fierce when she encountered handsome men. Aside from Shi Feiyang who was revered and unattainable, she had always been able to handle encounters with other handsome men with ease and confidence. But now, facing this beautiful man emanating a warm white light, she felt utterly discomposed, her words coming out impulsively.

Elder Kuzhu furrowed his brows as he looked at her, thinking to himself that she was just a silly girl with little Daoist power. It was impossible for her to see through his Escape Technique. There must be some other expert behind her, so he looked elsewhere.

Shi Longgu, seeing the sensual Adam's apple when he tilted his head to the sky, the striking profile and elegant line of his jaw as he turned his head, grew even more infatuated.

Suddenly, she noticed the green bamboo staff in his hand and snapped back to reality, "Ah, you're indeed a Demon Human from the Zhushan Sect!"

She stretched her arms out, flew backward a hundred yards, and hovered three to four feet above the ground. With a gesture, her sword light began to circle her body, "Demon Path! The thousand-year-old Queen Mother Grass is not something scoundrels like you can covet! If you know what's good for you, roll back to wherever you came from! Otherwise, you won't leave here alive!"

Realizing that he was from the Zhushan Sect, a hint of reluctance surfaced in her heart. Upon reflection, however, she reminded herself that those from Zhushan Sect lacked integrity, indulging in unrestrained gatherings, and that it was a mere besmirched rolling pin, not worth her affection...

But he was indeed very attractive, the most attractive man she had encountered in her life, save for Lei Qilong. If he could come to his senses in time, turn back from his wayward path, leave the Zhushan Sect, and follow her, she could properly guide him back to the righteous path and have a good life together. In the future, with him by her side, they could laugh and enjoy their lives freely in the Jianghu...

Lost in her pleasant thoughts, Elder Kuzhu took another step forward.

Elder Kuzhu could not figure out what was happening in such a short time, but in his haste, he could no longer bother with such concerns. Having reached this point, there was no turning back on the drawn bow. Success or failure, he had to see it through.

He didn't want to deal with the young girl, intending to step past Shi Longgu and continue to hasten toward Baiyang Mountain.

Seeing his audacity, Shi Longgu yelled, "How dare you!" and raised her hand, releasing a set of soul-stabbing needles that flew toward him.

The soul-stabbing needles, only an inch long and numbering in the hundreds, transformed into pinpoints of cold light, pouring directly towards Elder Kuzhu's chest.

Shi Longgu couldn't bring herself to aim for his face.
