Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 342 Chongguang's Scheme

As soon as Chongguang finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed.

Originally, when he cultivated his supernatural powers to perfection, he obtained the [Eternal Spring], [Dragon-Shading Water], [Fear of Chopping], and [Rock-Flame Furnace], directly pointing to the position of [Covering Lamp Fire].

However, his supernatural powers have changed.

The divine light symbolizing the "Covering Lamp Fire" suddenly dissipated, just as a lamp was extinguished by the wind, and was replaced by a series of hazy, magical colors.

"【The Essence of a Hundred Flowers】, 【The Sea of ​​Sorrow】, 【The Ferry Crossing of the Bewildering Pass】, 【The Song of Everlasting Regret】!"

The four Taixu Divine Powers surprised Angxiao: "Each one is of the highest quality. Aren't you afraid that Mu Changsheng will directly possess you?"

"That depends on you, sir," Chongguang said with a calm smile.

"Hahaha."

[Angxiao] couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh.

Chongguang's choice was brilliant!

Because [Wu You Tian], like [Ang Xiao], is also feared by the True Lords of the world, they do not allow Mu Changsheng to truly use this to achieve success in vain.

In this situation, no one should have helped him. In addition, he was at odds with [Fu Deng Huo], so even Qing Cheng Fei Xue Zhen Jun, who had previously supported him the most, would not have helped him. Only he, who was also an enemy of Tian Xia Zhen Jun, had the motivation and ability to help.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If Chongguang were to seek help from [Wuyoutian] at this time, not even a True Lord would stop him, because [Angxiao]'s side is undoubtedly more important than him.

'They're using me as a shield.'

Thinking of this, Angxiao was not angry. Instead, he chuckled and said, "I do have a way to help you resist the possession of Mu Changsheng's consciousness."

Mu Changsheng is indeed amazing.

However, in Angxiao's eyes, it was not something amazing or incomprehensible. How many brilliant geniuses had he seen so far?
It's all over!
'Only by ascending to the throne and becoming a True Lord can one truly gain a foothold in this world.' The previous one was Fei Xue; this person was practically identical to her.

Will he be next?

[Ang Xiao] pondered inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face, still smiling faintly as he said, "I can help you, but young friend, what can you offer me in return?"

"What adults lack is nothing more than time."

Chongguang directly pointed out the dilemma that Angxiao was currently facing. He was not actually afraid of Hongyun Qiujin. The problem was that before Hongyun Qiujin, a part of his consciousness was sealed inside the Nantianmen, which caused him to lose his observation of the real world and also caused him to miss the best opportunity to intervene.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.

Good fortune has passed the initial stage and has begun to attract the attention of those in positions of authority. Having reached this point, there is no longer any time for him to plan or strategize.

This was also part of Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun's calculations.

But in other words—

"As long as I can make up for the lost time for you, I believe you will have a way to break the deadlock without the help of others."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chongguang took out his chips.

A radiant light surged from his entire body, and Angxiao immediately sensed the source of the light: "The [Covering Lamp Fire], the corresponding ritual?"

“I take the meaning of ‘covering the lamp’s fire’ and call it ‘rebellion’.”

Chongguang said in a deep voice, "Hongyun is deeply trapped in the master's scheme. I helped him break out of his inevitable predicament. This is the greatest act of rebellion, enough to attract the attention of those in high positions!" If Lü Yang were here, he would definitely understand.

That deal!
Before entering the South Heavenly Gate, Chongguang had offered Lü Yang a deal to stay inside the South Heavenly Gate in order to lure Angxiao.

Undoubtedly, this transaction allowed Chongguang to participate in the scheme against Angxiao, and even served as a bargaining chip. Without this transaction, if Lü Yang had directly completed the fast pass, Angxiao might have realized that something was wrong in advance, thus triggering a chain reaction.

This is the real purpose behind Chongguang's deal with Lü Yang!
On the one hand, it was to lure Angxiao into the game, but on the other hand, it was also to give themselves more leverage and demonstrate sufficient value.

"This is certainly not enough to make Hongyun's pursuit of gold fail."

"However, with this, I am confident that my attention in the competition for the fruit position with Hongyun will buy you at least half an hour, which should be enough for you to make your move, right?"

Chongguang was shrouded in radiance, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

His bargaining chip had another key point: to maintain the ritual, he couldn't die. If he died, no one could continue to restrain Hongyun.

The implication is: You'd better not do anything underhanded.

Angxiao scrutinized Chongguang, his expression unreadable, before suddenly saying, "...I'm just not letting you die. I have many other methods."

Chongguang nodded upon hearing this: "Sir, you can take the gamble."

Gambling? Are you kidding me!
If Hongyun were to seek gold, Angxiao's plans of thousands of years would immediately fall apart, and he would even fall from his cultivation level. Since it concerns his path to immortality, how could he possibly gamble on it?
".amazing."

Looking at Chongguang, Angxiao finally smiled and nodded slightly: "In all these years, you are the first person who has dared to threaten me. You really have guts."

"I have no irreconcilable conflict with the adults."

Chongguang lowered his eyelids: "If you help me, I can help you if I succeed. It's a win-win situation. It all depends on your decision."

Even as they continued their conversation, Hongyun's quest for gold remained unfulfilled. With limited time, Angxiao finally abandoned his probing intentions and instead took out a candle from his sleeve, lighting it with his magic. The dim light illuminated the surroundings, creating a tranquil and clear atmosphere.

"This treasure is named the 'Sun-Shielding Golden Cup'."

"As its name suggests, it is the treasure of the [Great Forest Tree] in terms of its fruition. Before the lamp burns out, it can temporarily borrow the wonder of [Sunshade] to help you hide your own consciousness."

"Therefore, Mu Changsheng will be unable to possess you for the time being."

"However, I can only protect you for a while, not forever. By the time the lights go out, I will probably have already dealt with Hongyun's problem."

"At that time, I wouldn't mind taking in another [Wu You Tian]."

Chongguang immediately cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, sir!"

As a veteran Saint Sect Master, Chongguang knew very well that Angxiao's words showed great sincerity.

For Master Shengzong, what is the most trustworthy transaction?
It's not about the credit of the two parties in the transaction, but about whether each party gets what they want and whether there is any profit to be made. On this point, both of them undoubtedly grasped it very accurately.

The Dragon King of the previous life clearly hadn't been able to control the situation.

Although that was because Long Jun was unaware of Ang Xiao's true objective, which led to his misjudgment, Chong Guang would obviously not make that mistake.

In this respect, he was even more shrewd than Long Jun.

Because the current needs of [Angxiao] were actually created by Chongguang. After all, without him, Hongyun might not have been able to ascend to the throne and seek wealth so smoothly.

That's why Angxiao called it "coercion"!
Using a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to coerce a late-stage Golden Core True Monarch, while partly due to taking advantage of the situation, is seizing the opportunity itself a skill in itself.
The next second, Chongguang closed his eyes.

A brilliant light burst forth from his body, soaring straight into the sky and attracting the attention of [Covering Lamp Fire], while his consciousness had already entered [Boundless Heaven]!
