Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 478 A Galaxy of Stars Surrounding the Moon
That being said, Lü Yang had no intention of continuing the conversation with Angxiao.

After all, this wasn't his first conversation with Angxiao, and he knew all too well that the more he said to this extremely cunning old sage, the more mistakes he would make.

'We still need to catch something first!'

'After all, I don't yet have the leverage to control [Angxiao], so the two sides are not on equal footing. Therefore, now is not the best time for me to talk to him.'

The best time will have to wait until after the problem of the good fortune is solved.

When I finally have the Golden Fortune in my hands, I can pretend to be holding the Flame of the Overturning Lamp at any time. That will be the time to truly face off against [Angxiao] and negotiate.

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang didn't give Angxiao a chance to continue speaking. He directly used his divine power to seal the fragment of the cave in his hand and then threw it into the Myriad Spirit Banner to sever the connection with Angxiao's main body. With Ancestor Tingyou watching over him, he wasn't afraid of anything happening.

This is all thanks to True Lord Qingcheng Feixue.

If she hadn't shattered the entire cave, making it difficult for [Angxiao] to unleash more of his power, he probably wouldn't have been able to capture her so easily.

".Um."

Just then, Lü Yang suddenly had a thought.

Jiangdong, the capital of Tianwu.

Lu Yang opened his eyes and left the cave in the next second, landing in the sky. There he saw a eunuch in a brocade robe walking towards him.

"Lord Du Huan, I apologize for disturbing your seclusion."

"Not at all!" Lü Yang said solemnly, quickly stepping forward to bow and saying, "I'm sorry to trouble Fellow Daoist An to make this special trip, but has His Majesty sent another imperial edict?"

"Exactly."

Eunuch An smiled slightly, appearing very amiable. After all, Lü Yang's first words were "Fellow Daoist An," and although he said it wasn't necessary, he was secretly pleased and wished Lü Yang would call him that a couple more times. With this exchange, a relationship had developed, and he naturally didn't mind revealing some information:
"Actually, it's a good thing."

“A few days ago, news came from the Imperial Observatory that they had located the location of the Boundary Heaven that you, Lord Du Huan, presented, and His Majesty was planning to retrieve it personally.”

"I have come to ask Lord Du Huan to accompany me."

Please ask me to accompany you?

Lu Yang's heart stirred slightly, but his face showed no hesitation as he immediately replied, "That is indeed my wish!"

Seeing this, Eunuch An said with a half-smile, "His Majesty has seen Du Huan's loyalty. You must not disappoint His Majesty."

What do you mean?
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes. Although he had had a very smooth start in this life, he was still very cautious because of the lessons he learned in the previous life.

Has someone seen through my disguise?

That doesn't make sense. His current status was obtained through usurpation, and his position in the Hundred Generations Book is there for all to see. How could Emperor Jiayou possibly understand that?

'If that's the case, then it can only mean my clone has been exposed! Could it be that Emperor Jiayou discovered my secret creation of a clone and its delivery to Jiangbei?'

Lu Yang muttered to himself, somewhat unsure. After all, the existence of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] had given the Dao Court an outrageous level of control over Jiangdong. Even if his clone was exposed, he could accept it. The question was, did Emperor Jiayou know more?

After all, he had done quite a lot in Jiangbei.

Dou Hongyun and Ang Xiao – weren't they both extraordinary? If Emperor Jiayou saw all of this, he would surely doubt his own identity.

'I haven't sensed any Golden Core cultivator watching over me along the way.'

'But he is, after all, a True Lord. If he truly uses all his magical power and supernatural abilities to monitor me, I might not be able to detect it. I shouldn't overestimate myself.'

After thinking it over, Lü Yang calmed down.

In the end, he still leaned towards the conclusion that Emperor Jiayou was unaware, because just now, he had checked the state of [Not Subordinate to Others] when facing Emperor Jiayou.

It still shines brightly!

The talent calculated from the "Book of a Hundred Generations" is of high quality, and you can completely trust it.

"The phrase 'not subordinate to others' is bright, indicating that Emperor Jiayou still values ​​me. He may have been scrutinizing me, but it shouldn't have reached the point of suspicion."

Thinking this through, Lü Yang suddenly felt confident:
'The clone should have been exposed, but Emperor Jiayou probably doesn't know the details. He only knows that I sent the clone out of Jiangdong, but he doesn't know what I did.' With this assessment, the remaining decision became easier.

Tianwu Palace.

A platform descended upon the vast land of China, and behind the layers of curtains on the platform, a majestic figure was revealed—Emperor Jiayou, sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Lü Yang strolled into the main hall.

The next second, the palace gates were slammed shut, the surrounding energy was cut off, and an invisible pressure instantly descended upon Lü Yang like a tidal wave.

Immediately afterwards, a melodious sigh rang in his ears:

"Having cultivated a body as graceful as a crane, I sit beneath a thousand pines, carrying two volumes of scriptures. I come to inquire about the Dao, but there is nothing more to say; the clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was drawn back, and for the first time, Lü Yang truly saw Emperor Jiayou, the sovereign and father of the billions of people and cultivators in Jiangdong.

At that moment, Emperor Jiayou was also looking at him:
"Du Huan, my beloved minister."

His voice was flat, revealing no emotion, yet it resonated throughout the hall like a great bell: "Do you consider yourself a cloud, or water?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang bowed without saying a word and said, "Everything depends on Your Majesty's will. If Your Majesty wants me to be a cloud, I will be a cloud; if Your Majesty wants me to be water, I will be water."

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiayou burst into laughter, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes. He said quietly, "It seems that Minister Du has made great progress in his seclusion these past few days."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Lu Yang nodded, revealing an honest and straightforward expression, and said frankly, "These past few days, I sent an avatar overseas to meet with the Dragon King and speak of His Majesty's kindness. The Dragon King was very pleased and instructed me to serve His Majesty well and repay His Majesty's kindness in promoting me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jiayou was stunned.

Just as Lü Yang had guessed beforehand, he did know that Lü Yang had sent an avatar away from Jiangdong, and he was thinking of using this to warn and test Lü Yang's loyalty.

Before he could even make a move, Lü Yang informed him of it.

The next second, a genuine smile appeared in Emperor Jiayou's eyes, and he found Lü Yang more and more pleasing to the eye. What is a loyal minister? This is what a loyal minister is!
To be honest is the greatest form of loyalty!
Moreover, there was an unspoken meaning behind Lü Yang's words: that a grandson of the Dragon King would need to send an avatar overseas just to contact the Dragon King.

What does this mean?
This shows that the True Dragon Clan is sensible and did not secretly leave behind any means of communication that could be concealed from the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws], which further pleased Emperor Jiayou.

However, despite saying this, Emperor Jiayou's tone remained completely unchanged:
"You are the Dragon King's grandson, yet you address me as the Dragon King. Isn't that too formal?"

"Your Majesty is mistaken!" Lü Yang shook his head and said solemnly, "When working, one should be addressed by one's official position, not by blood ties."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiayou's heart stirred slightly, and he nodded:
"Since the True Dragon Clan has pledged allegiance to my Jiangdong, as long as they remain loyal to the country, they will naturally have a place to share the fate of the nation in the future. Dragon Lord, you are quite astute. You may rise as well."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Lu Yang stood up, clenched his right fist, and said solemnly, "Loyalty!"

Although Emperor Jiayou concealed it well, seeing the ever-shining light of "Unyielding to Others," Lü Yang knew that he had passed this test.

The next second, Emperor Jiayou suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, I heard that you previously contacted quite a few demon cultivators and even founded an organization called the 'One Heart Society.' May I ask what your purpose is?"

Lu Yang remained calm and composed, saying:

"The demon cultivators are wild and untamed. They have received His Majesty's favor, but they only care about their own interests and do not think about serving the country."

"I founded the [One Heart Society] precisely to teach them how to wholeheartedly repay Your Majesty, so that they may serve Your Majesty like stars surrounding the moon!"

Emperor Jiayou: "."

Good servant!
Emperor Jiayou's lips twitched slightly, then he stood up with a flick of his sleeve: "Alright, I intend to travel to the outer heavens to retrieve the Incense Realm you mentioned earlier."

"You may come with me."

The next second, Lü Yang saw the light of [Not Subordinate to Others] suddenly shine brightly. If he were to backstab at this moment, the talent bonus would probably reach 50%!
