Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 218 Junior Brother, You're Still Too Kind

The Supreme Mysterious Immortal walked very fast.

Although he was already a sword cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, possessing two innate divine abilities and a superior spiritual sword, he was still no match for the overwhelming force.

After all, no matter how strong he was, he wasn't a Grand True Person. Even if he was at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he was still only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, he wasn't a direct descendant of a True Monarch from one of the four major powers. Therefore, facing an attack from more than ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, he could only let out a few miserable howls of a defeated dog in extreme frustration.
"If you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight!"

"Beast. You beast!"

All that could be heard were screams of agony. Shangxuan Zhenren was struck in the back by Yinshan Zhenren, and in the front by Yu Chan, who pierced through him. His divine consciousness was shattered by Hanxiang.

His entire body was covered in wounds from the magical treasures and supernatural powers of other early Foundation Establishment cultivators from Jiangbei.
Finally, a supernatural power crashed down.

【Hold the Shou Mountain】!
Without any power to resist, Shangxuan Zhenren fell directly to the ground, his divine power and brilliance dissipated, his eyes closed, clearly unconscious.

As for the two sword cultivators, the Xuanjin Sword Master and the Xuanyin Sword Master, who were both in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, it goes without saying that they didn't even need Lü Yang and the others to make a move. Having witnessed what "Sacred Sect methods" were like, the cultivators from Jiangbei swarmed forward and, without any suspense, captured both of them on the spot.

"well done."

Lu Yang remained calm as he sent the two sword masters, Shangxuan Zhenren and Xuanjin and Xuanyin, into Baoshou Mountain to suppress them: "Thank you all for your hard work this time."

After saying that, he took out a stack of jade slips.

Each jade slip was infused with a wisp of divine consciousness, and then distributed directly to the Jiangbei cultivators present: "You have all made contributions this time, please take these and use them."

"This is."

A Foundation Establishment cultivator from a minor sect accepted the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression immediately became excited: "The Daoist technique of the Myriad Treasures River from the Treasure Dividing Cliff."

"Just keep them. They're yours."

Lu Yang said calmly, "There are also the supernatural abilities and techniques of the Shangxuan Sword Sect. I will extract them from them later, and all the fellow Daoists who participated in this battle will also receive a copy."

"Since you all risked your lives to help, I will not treat you unfairly." As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yang waved his hand and threw the superior spiritual swords of the three True Immortals, the Xuanjin Sword Master, and the Xuanyin Sword Master to the three Foundation Establishment True Immortals who had contributed the most this time. Everyone else's eyes turned red with envy.

All previous caution was immediately thrown to the winds.

Supernatural powers! Cultivation techniques! Spiritual treasures!
The sects from which the people present came were not large to begin with, and some were simply independent cultivators, so obtaining these things was already a windfall for them.

What else is there to say?

If the Jiangbei disciples had previously been somewhat reluctant to work, that has completely vanished now, leaving only burning passion and fighting spirit.

Otherwise, it would be insufficient to demonstrate one's loyalty!

"As for them..." At this point, Lü Yang looked at the three Shangxuan Zhenren and shook his head: "It hasn't been easy for the three of them to cultivate to this point."

“Our Holy Sect has always treated prisoners of war well.”

"In that case, after I finish interrogating him, use the [Abyssal Sword] that Daoji fed me, refine his corpse into a demonic corpse, and send his soul to the Refining Secret Realm for reincarnation."

Master Yinshan frowned upon hearing this, then sighed and said, "Junior brother, you are still too kind."

Lü Yang also looked helpless: "Sigh, I can't change it."

The two of them talked back and forth as if it were perfectly reasonable, but Hanxiang, who was standing next to them, felt colder and colder as she listened, and even Yu Chan's eyes twitched slightly.

Is this what you call kindness?

Did the Holy Ancestor have some misunderstanding about the definition of goodness?
Little did they know that in the eyes of Lü Yang and Yinshan Zhenren, even though I let your soul reincarnate and start over, this is not a kind heart. What is a kind heart?

And they might even be able to return to the Foundation Establishment stage after their reincarnation?

Then we can reap another harvest.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang grabbed the three Shangxuan Zhenren and led them into a secret room, took out the Wanling Banner, summoned Chen Xin'an, and used the Heavenly Mother Transformation Mysterious Light.

After one day.

Lu Yang dismissed the pale-faced Chen Xin'an, then casually killed the three Shangxuan Zhenren who were no longer human with a single sword stroke, before taking stock of his spoils.

First, there's the [Avici Sword]. One Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of the mid-stage and two at the early stage—such a massive amount of resources were fed to the [Avici Sword], and the feedback was miraculously enormous.

"According to the feedback from [Human Butcher], the foundational cultivation techniques of these three sword cultivators are all of the Metal element. After killing them, the [Avici Sword]'s restraint on the Metal element has reached 50%. In other words, any supernatural power or Dao technique of the Metal element will have its power reduced by 50% in front of the [Avici Sword]!"

This can already be considered the nemesis of sword cultivators.

It is especially suitable for ambushing sword cultivators who are completely unaware of it, making them overestimate the power of their own supernatural abilities. If used well, it can even kill people unexpectedly!
Besides that, there are the memories of the Supreme Mysterious Immortal.

"There really are Sword Pavilion techniques!"

This was another major gain for Lü Yang. With the support of the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion, the Shangxuan Sword Sect actually obtained a secret cultivation technique from the pavilion.

Its name is—"The Formless Sword of Taiyi"

"It's not a cultivation technique, but a secret sword-forging method. This method can be used in conjunction with a Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend to forge a superior spiritual treasure called the [Invisible Sword]."

"I see."

Lu Yang stroked his chin, finally resolving a question that had been lingering in his mind:
"This True Immortal Shangxuan wasn't in seclusion to break through to the late stage at all; he was in seclusion refining his sword. I knew he had no foundation to dare break through to the late stage."

The late stage of Foundation Establishment is an insurmountable barrier!
Even in the Holy Sect, a figure like the Peak Master of the Heaven-Mending Peak died and perished after breaking through to the late stage. How could a True Immortal of the Upper Profound Realm have the ability to break through to the late stage?

According to the memories of the Supreme Mysterious Immortal, he did indeed obtain a Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend suitable for him, but he knew that he had no chance of becoming a Great Immortal with it. Therefore, he planned to use this Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend to refine the [Invisible Sword] to enhance his combat power and contribute better in future battles.

"But now it's all benefited me."

Lu Yang smiled slightly, but his expression quickly turned serious. He then took out a small jade bottle from Shangxuan Zhenren's storage bag.

The bottle contains the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends obtained by the Supreme Mysterious Immortal.

That was a wisp of metal energy.

The one with the element of Xin (辛) in the Heavenly Gang position is named [Chongguang]!
".coincide?"

Lü Yang didn't believe it!

Is there a backup plan left by Master Chongguang behind this? Was it also part of Master Shangxuan's calculations to obtain this Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend and to refine the [Invisible Sword]?

For a moment, countless questions arose in Lü Yang's mind.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the secrets of heaven and the cause and effect have been suppressed by True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue, and no one can calculate them. Therefore, he can only guess and cannot deduce or verify them.

"Did I ruin Master Chongguang's plans?"

As a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, Shangxuan Zhenren was the pillar of stability for the Qing Kingdom, and it was almost impossible for him to be in trouble, given his strength.

However, even Master Chongguang probably didn't expect that Lü Yang would use his teleportation technique, combining Taoist magic and supernatural powers, to move the entire Shangxuan Sword Sect to Jiangbei, creating a golden opportunity to fight against overwhelming odds. Then, they swarmed in and overwhelmed the sword cultivator.

"It's because I'm too outstanding!"

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh, but he wasn't flustered: "It can still be salvaged. Anyway, once the item is in my hands, I can refine it myself."

"And this also gives the enemy some time to react."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang glanced again in the direction of Zhanlong Pass. He knew very well that his mission to go south this time was not really to destroy the Qing Kingdom.

His task was to apply pressure.

What he needs to do is to create conflict with the Qing Kingdom, generate enough external contradictions, and thus create an opportunity for the reincarnated Chongguang Zhenren within the Qing Kingdom.

The destruction of the Shangxuan Sword Sect should be enough to cause panic in the Qing Kingdom.

How will they react then?

How will Master Chongguang act next?
