Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 307: A superior move

Lu Yang has never hesitated to show the utmost hostility towards Angxiao.

He would sabotage whatever Angxiao wanted to do, and fulfill whatever Angxiao didn't want to do, his main goal being to target him.

Therefore, he was very interested in Yu Suzhen's experiences.

Having reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in three years, he must have gained considerable opportunities under the guidance of [Angxiao]. How much of that opportunity was due to [Angxiao]'s underhanded tactics?

By the grace of the Pure and Flying Snow True Lord, it is a good time to investigate!
With this in mind, Lü Yang focused intently on using the secret technique, and Yu Suzhen's past memories flowed out like water.

'My experiences over the past three years.'

Soon, Lü Yang gained complete control of Yu Suzhen's memories, and layers of dim images emerged, finally reflecting a scene before his eyes.

At first, Yu Suzhen's experience was just as he had predicted.

After going through countless hardships, he finally reached the Qi Refining stage and joined the Butian Peak. After being targeted by Liu Xin, he miraculously turned the tables and killed him, thus obtaining the inheritance of the Innate True Person.

However, something's not right here.

Yu Suzhen saw an unprecedented being inside Liu Xin's Myriad Spirits Banner. Her current level of cultivation was due to the guidance of this being!

Where is this?

In his memory, Lü Yang's eyes widened, but all he saw was a murky river, with shimmering white bones visible in the churning waves.

The river is vast and boundless.

Only in the center of the river stands a giant rock, as vast as a mountain, firmly fixed in the middle of the river, dividing this river into sections.

'Not quite right'

Lu Yang frowned deeply. The scene before him was what Yu Suzhen had seen inside the Myriad Spirits Banner, but his understanding of the Myriad Spirits Banner was far superior to Yu Suzhen's, yet he had never discovered such a place inside the banner! This was undoubtedly Angxiao's backup plan; he had tampered with the Myriad Spirits Banner.

Suddenly, Lü Yang remembered.

'I've seen this place before.'

This was a memory that didn't belong to him, yet now he could recall every detail with unparalleled clarity, and in his memory, he was right here in front of him.

However, in my memory, there was another person in this place.

That person stood atop the giant rock in the middle of the river, staring straight at him.

'hiss! '

In an instant, Lü Yang gasped and subconsciously looked in the direction he remembered, only to find that there was indeed a figure there!
'No. He's an outsider!'

'trap!?'

At this moment, Lü Yang was "searching the soul." The many scenes before him were essentially illusions, but the figure was different; it was real and unmistakable!
He stepped out of his memories!

A place that cannot be spoken of.

In the shadows, shrouded in darkness, a handsome Taoist priest sat cross-legged in the air, his head raised, his eyes flowing with starlight like a river.

The next second, he smiled:
"Fellow Daoist is truly extraordinary. I placed my stones in the Holy Sect to sever the cause and effect, yet you were able to foresee it and come here to wait for me with such a grand entourage."

Angxiao's tone carried a long-lost sense of exhilaration. In his view, everything that had happened so far was nothing more than a game between him and the Daoist behind the scenes. He used Yu Suzhen as a pawn, while the other party summoned Hongju, Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun, and others to intercept his pawn.

This is not ordinary!
'To be able to calculate my true target so accurately, it seems the matter of [Chentu] has been exposed, not to mention there's a True Lord watching.'

Lu Yang's guess was correct. At this very moment, True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue was squatting beside the sea, but her Dharma body was integrated into heaven and earth, so only a True Monarch could see her figure.

'Fellow Daoist, you haven't personally made a move from beginning to end.'

'His use of borrowed weapons to kill is masterful; if he were truly capable, with cultivation levels comparable to mine, why would he need to hide in the shadows?'

Angxiao's smile widened: 'Fellow Daoist, your cultivation level isn't very high, is it?'

'Mid-stage Golden Core? Early-stage Golden Core? You must have borrowed the power of a higher realm, surely not Foundation Establishment? Let me see just how many tricks you have up your sleeve.'

Now that things have come to this, Angxiao is confident of victory. Yes, he does want to use Yu Suzhen to lure out the innate Dao calamity and refine it into an avatar. However, he never puts all his eggs in one basket. Therefore, Yu Suzhen is both his pawn and the poisoned bait he has set!
In his view, the fellow Daoist hiding behind the scenes had only overlooked one thing.

'You probably didn't expect that I could already use the power of the Underworld in a rudimentary way. This Underworld messenger, though not my clone, is even more powerful than one.'

'If you ignore it, it will help me bring the innate karmic debt back to the underworld; my plan will succeed.'

'But if he were to try to stop it and kill it, he would surely be devoured by the entire Underworld!'

The backlash from the underworld is far more severe than cause and effect.

Cause and effect is a vast net, full of holes and countless loopholes. Yet, since everyone is subject to reincarnation, the influence of the underworld is truly all-pervasive!

'The backlash from the Underworld strikes directly at your true spirit; even if you possess another's body, you cannot escape it!'

At that time, he, who is in the Underworld, will be able to use this connection to directly locate the true identity of the mastermind and find out his background.

'No matter which one you choose, I remain undefeated. In the end, I am still one step ahead!'

Thinking of this, Angxiao couldn't help but burst into laughter. This feeling of surpassing his "fellow Daoist" was a rare enjoyment for someone like him.

'So? Will you hand over your innate Daoist sins, or let me see your true face?'

【Angxiao】looked expectantly at the present world.

At the same time, Lü Yang realized that he had fallen into Angxiao's trap, but he was not too flustered.

My true self is far away, so even if I suffer, it's only my clone who suffers.

Lu Yang examined the figure that suddenly appeared before him through the [puppet]. The other person stepped out of his memory and directly entered the clone's sea of ​​consciousness.

Upon closer inspection, he appeared to be half black and half white, with a strange and grotesque appearance. Tall and thin, he held a mourning staff in one hand and dragged a soul-hooking chain in the other. He burst into laughter, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and squinted at people, his eyes gleaming with a cold light. Upon seeing Lü Yang, he spoke without uttering a single word:
"Hey! Where did this evil spirit come from?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately laughed: "Demon? I think you are the demon. Entering another's sea of ​​consciousness without permission is not the way of the righteous path."

"presumptuous!"

The figure sneered: "Do you take me for one of those mortal beings? You have a god but no soul, consciousness but no spirit, what else are you but a demon?"

Judging from the tone, it's not [Ang Xiao] himself?

Lu Yang heard it clearly, and his mind began to speculate: 'What exactly is this thing? The evil it speaks of... could it be referring to a calamity?'

In this respect, Angxiao's methods are exactly the same as Lü Yang's. The only difference is that Lü Yang created a second clone, while Angxiao created a messenger from the underworld. Both of them are completely unaware of their true origins and only know how to complete the tasks assigned to them by the mastermind behind the scenes.

So the next second, the monster shook its head: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to care."

"Anyway, you soulless being are destined for reincarnation. Whether you are or not, today I will capture you and that evil spirit outside!"
