Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 272 Unavoidable!
What a terrible place this is!
At this moment, only this thought remained in Lü Yang's mind. To be honest, he almost self-destructed to activate the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes just a moment ago.

'It's definitely [Angxiao].'

'Although I used a clone, I didn't split my divine consciousness; rather, my consciousness took over. However, it was used as a medium to influence my original body!'

Lu Yang looked bitter. He did not split his divine consciousness to take control of the clone because he did not want the clone to be used by others. In the end, the clone developed its own consciousness and betrayed the original body. That's why he used his original consciousness to take control of the clone. As a result, he was caught off guard and was instead affected by the True Monarch from a distance!

Moreover, it's better if one is not fully conscious; once conscious, it's even more terrifying.

All that had happened before felt like a dream, and many of the decisions and words were shrouded in mystery, making Lü Yang afraid to even recall them.

'I must be crazy!'

'He actually thought that if he could find the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends during this trip overseas, break through to the mid-stage perfection realm, he could even fight against a Grand Master.'

Is this me?

'Forget about whether we can fight, even if we could, why would I fight? Wouldn't it be easier to use my Grandmaster-level strength to bully those mid-Foundation Establishment and early-stage cultivators?'

The more Lü Yang thought about it, the more his scalp tingled.

However, a greater question soon arose in his mind: 'Why me? What merit do I, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, have to be schemed against like this?'

Father, like son.

Once Lü Yang finally broke free from the influence of his limited understanding, he immediately understood Angxiao's intention: he wanted to find the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain himself!
"It's alright. It's alright!"

Lu Yang looked at the magic sword in his hand, and recalling his previous decision to "improve his strength first," a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

Fortunately, he is a man of his nature, and it is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change his ways.

Even though he was influenced by the True Lord, he was determined to "play it safe" and first sought out Suo Huan to refine a spiritual treasure. As a result, he accidentally came to his senses.

'No, it's not necessarily a coincidence.'

'Would the True Lord allow such a variable to occur?'

Lu Yang turned his head to look at Suo Huan beside him and whispered, "Fellow Daoist, tell me the truth, are you really absolutely confident in refining this spiritual treasure?"

Suo Huan looked over upon hearing this, but gave a bitter smile: "Complete confidence? If it were just an ordinary spiritual treasure, that would be fine, but you've brought out so many spiritual treasures, how could I possibly melt them down on my own? Unless a True Monarch intervenes! If you really want to refine them, you'll have to rely on at least nine-tenths of fate."

The voice calling out grew softer and softer.

Lu Yang also looked at the magic sword in his hand, but felt as if he had grasped a ball of burning coal, so hot that he didn't know whether to hold it or throw it away.

Unless the True Lord intervenes, the outcome of the weapon forging depends entirely on fate.

It actually succeeded?
Who would believe that the True Lord wasn't involved behind the scenes? But if it was Angxiao, why bother to wake them both from their illusions?

Or.
'Could there be a second True Lord?'

'So, my experience with Suohuan was essentially just a battle of wits between the True Lords?'

Lu Yang pressed his temples, experiencing for the first time what it felt like to be without the support of a True Lord. Everything was shrouded in mystery, and he felt like he had been sold out and was still counting the money for the seller!
If Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun had not yet gone into seclusion, why would he be in this situation?
"Senior brother? Senior?"

Just then, Chongming glanced at Lü Yang with a blank expression, then looked at Suo Huan and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to go to Yuanci Divine Mountain?"

"boom!"

Before Chongming could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. Suo Huan, on the other hand, said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, please shine that sword light on him as well."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang shook his head: "I saw it. It's true that the wonder of not using sword light is impressive, but his cultivation level is too low. Although he was only affected by me, the impact was deeper than on me. Unless that person voluntarily withdrew the divine power, or a True Monarch comes to his aid, he probably won't wake up."

After speaking, both of them fell silent.

Lu Yang subconsciously tried to calculate with his fingers, but then gave up. This was clearly a scheme set up by a True Lord; what was the point of his calculations? He might only be misled. 'Could we not go and return to Jietian Cloud Sea?'

Lu Yang's first thought was to run away, but he quickly realized something that chilled him to the bone: he had successfully left the Holy Sect!
Lu Yang didn't believe that any True Monarch could be unaware of his being influenced by [Angxiao], yet he left the Sea of ​​Clouds without any hindrance and without any apparent trouble. At the time, he didn't think anything of it, but now, thinking about it, it was terrifying. Did this indirectly reflect the attitude of the Holy Sect?

'Have I been abandoned?'

This is not surprising, after all, in most people's eyes, he is a true person whose path has been cut off, no matter how amazing he is, it is useless and he is not indispensable.

'If there are more important things to do, it's only natural to abandon me.'

'But what is this matter? And what role do I need to play in it? What effect does the mastermind behind the scenes want me to achieve?'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly turned his head.

Almost simultaneously, Suo Huan also glanced at him, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips, clearly his thoughts were no slower than Lü Yang's.

Just like back in the [Ten Thousand Martial Realm], I'm just doing this incidentally; the real goal is to summon it!

'【Angxiao】His real target is him. Is he using me to send Suo Huan to find that Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain? Impossible. The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends are useless against him.'

Under the light of the sword, Lü Yang's thoughts became clearer and quicker, turning like lightning.

The next second, he suddenly lowered his head and looked at the magic sword in his hand.

"The reason this spirit sword was able to be forged is because a True Lord secretly intervened, and it was precisely because of it that Suo Huan and I were able to awaken from our illusions."

'That's it! This is where I'm meant to be!'

"My purpose is to bring Sohan back to his senses!"

In an instant, a look of sudden realization dawned on Lü Yang's face: 'Wrong! All wrong! The mastermind behind it all isn't actually [Ang Xiao]!'

Until just now, Lü Yang's thought was still that [Angxiao] would use his fate to lure him and Suo Huan into the trap, and then a mysterious True Lord would come to their rescue.

However, the truth is likely quite the opposite.

Angxiao was the one who stepped in to save people!
'It is Suo Huan who is deeply entangled in the situation without realizing it. Ang Xiao uses me to lure him out, forging this magical sword to bring him to his senses!'

That makes sense!
As he realized this, Lü Yang's expression grew increasingly bitter: "If that's really the case, then they want me to act together with Suo Huan!"

After all, both of them were able to regain their senses thanks to the magic of the sword.

Once separated, although he didn't care, Suohuan would inevitably fall back into ignorance. Under such circumstances, how could Angxiao allow him to leave?

'If I'm not mistaken, I should have already provoked a formidable enemy by now. Yes, the Four Seas Sect! Because I killed the Dragon King Chongying! Originally, with the Heavenly Instrument concealing the cause and effect, no one should have been able to calculate it, but now it's uncertain.'

'If the Four Seas Sect has truly foreseen the cause and effect, and I am currently overseas, I fear only Suohuan can protect me. If I leave him without permission, I will surely die at the hands of the Dragon Clan!'

What mysterious cause and effect? ​​It's clearly just another form of battle between true lords!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but look at Suo Huan.

"Senior, what exactly did you do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Suo Huan glanced at him and said with a bitter smile, "I'm begging for a way to survive, but unfortunately, it seems that someone won't even give me this one."

"I've implicated you, fellow Daoist."

"Where is it."

The die is cast, so Lü Yang naturally wouldn't say anything more to complain about. After all, they were now in the same boat!

　The third and fourth updates will be added tonight.
