Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 499 Assassination of Emperor Jiayou!
"Pass on my order: martial law throughout the city!"

At Lü Yang's command, the Imperial City Guard responded immediately, and soon, one after another, cultivators of the Incense and Divine Path rode in their escape lights and began to seal off the inside and outside of Tianwu City.

This was not something he did recklessly.

Instead, it was an order directly issued by Emperor Jiayou through the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws], which seemed to indicate that he still valued him highly. However, Lü Yang sensed a crisis.

"The Imperial City Guard was established less than half a year ago. Originally, it was only responsible for maintaining order within Tianwu City, and at most, it would occasionally raid the residences of a few corrupt officials. Now, it has suddenly been ordered to seal off the entire city. Although it seems impressive, in reality, it has turned its limited resources into a disorganized mess."

This is an attempt to divide and weaken the incense-burning cultivators of the Imperial City Guard in order to suppress them.

'If I were to enter the palace now, Emperor Jiayou would likely strip me of my official position immediately, and the Imperial City Guard and the religious rites would also have to be reorganized.'

This is not difficult to understand.

After all, if Emperor Jiayou were still alive, his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation would be enough to suppress all chaos, and the Imperial City Division's power would be nothing more than a mirage.

However, once Emperor Jiayou and even the Three Dukes disappear, the Imperial City Guard, which can quickly create Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators using incense and divine power and is controlled by the True Dragon Clan, will become a source of turmoil. Although it may not overthrow the Dao Court, it will certainly exacerbate the chaos in Jiangdong, which is intolerable.

However, Lü Yang was not flustered.

On his way to Tianwu Palace, Lü Yang secretly sent out a fragment of Hongyun's grotto-heaven with a wisp of divine thought, handing it over to an official traveling with him.

He had long been secretly controlling this official using puppets.

His name is Chen Yuanli. He comes from the Capital Celestial Bureau and, like Ning Haohe, the commander of the Capital Celestial Bureau, is one of the Three Dukes. He is a disciple of the Grand Protector and has a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

'It's all up to you now.'

The next second, Lü Yang activated the [Puppet on a String], using Chen Yuanli as a puppet to open the fragment of the cave and connect with [Angxiao]'s divine sense.

Soon, [Angxiao] responded:
"Fellow Daoist, excellent skills."

The birth of [Wuyoutian] clearly also affected [Angxiao] of the Underworld, and at the same time made him feel an indescribable, bone-chilling cold.

At that moment, he had only one thought: 'Thank goodness I reacted quickly!'

[Wuyoutian] took away the True Lord of the World, and with Lü Yang's fake possession of [Covering Lamp Fire], if he hadn't taken [Sand in Soil] and [White Wax Gold] in advance to ensure that he could maintain his late-stage realm even if Chentu reversed, he would probably be a fish on the chopping block by now!

What a terrifying scheme!

Upon realizing this, Angxiao's apprehension towards Lü Yang instantly reached its peak, and he became even more suspicious: Could this person really be the World Honored One?

The more they look, the more they look like each other!

On the other side, Lu Yang had no time to consider what Angxiao was thinking and said directly, "Senior, do you still remember our agreement? It's your turn to make a move."

Lu Yang spoke urgently, quickly stating his request: "At this moment, Emperor Jiayou of the Dao Court and the Three Dukes have gathered together and are about to go into seclusion. I need you to use the sword you have hidden on them to ensure that they don't leave a single word behind, and ideally, to severely injure them."

"."

In a flash, Angxiao understood Lü Yang's intentions: 'What grand ambition! Is he deliberately causing chaos to seize control of the Dao Court?'

'If I intervene, I'll be the one taking the blame.'

Even so, Angxiao didn't waste any words and simply asked, "What benefits would I get?"

What would you like, senior?

"The metal element of good fortune!"

Angxiao put forward his own conditions. In the end, he didn't need Lü Yang's help to activate the Fudeng Fire. The key was Hongyun.

'As long as I can obtain the Gold element of good fortune, he won't be able to feign the [Covering Lamp Fire] and won't be able to threaten me. And once I have the Gold element of good fortune, I can easily find a way to use it to lure the [Covering Lamp Fire] into the Underworld. The key to everything is the Gold element of good fortune; obtaining it won't be a loss.'

The next second, Lü Yang gave his answer:
"can!"

His words were resolute and unwavering. However, Angxiao merely sneered, "Who do you take me for? You think I'd believe you just because you made a promise out of thin air?" "How can I possibly believe you, senior?"

"Delivery first"

"impossible!"

Lu Yang sneered in return: "Senior, you're really underestimating me. Do you think I'd believe your promise? I bet you just want to take the stuff and run!"

The two sides reached a stalemate.

However, Angxiao quickly offered a new suggestion: "Leave the Lucky Gold in one place, and I will take it away after I finish that sword strike."

This is not a deal.

This is a battle of wits: the lucky gold element is placed elsewhere, and both sides will rely on their own methods to take it away first, whoever takes it away first will be the victor in this battle of wits.

"can!"

Lu Yang agreed without hesitation, but inwardly he sneered: 'You still want the Fortune Gold Essence? Once you unleash that sword strike, I'll immediately annihilate your divine sense within the fragment of the cave heaven. At that point, you'll have no way to interfere with the mortal world anymore. Even if the Fortune Gold Essence were placed before you, you wouldn't have the ability to take it.'

"A word is settled!"

On the other side, Angxiao sneered inwardly as well: 'Using that sword to kill Emperor Jiayou and the Three Dukes? How can a sword strike from a late-stage Golden Core cultivator be wasted like that?'

The transaction was just a pretext; [Angxiao]'s real target was Lü Yang himself!
'Since he dared to plot against the Dao Court, he must hold a high position and wield great power. Therefore, Emperor Jiayou, before going into seclusion, announced to all officials that his true form would certainly be present!'

At that time, I can kill him with one sword.

When a person dies, whether or not they possess the "Lucky Gold" attribute becomes irrelevant.

The two, each with their own ulterior motives, entered the Tianwu Palace. Soon, everyone saw four increasingly illusory figures at the head of the palace.

Upon entering the palace, Lü Yang immediately noticed the gaze directed at him by Emperor Jiayou.

Without any hesitation, Lü Yang strode forward and bowed deeply, saying, "Your subject Du Huan greets Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to revoke my official position!"

It was another preemptive strike.

Emperor Jiayou was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, completely unexpected that Lü Yang would speak up before he had even mentioned it. Could this man truly be a great and loyal minister?

However, Emperor Jiayou quickly regained his composure.

Regardless of loyalty or disloyalty, once he and the Three Dukes retire from the world, the Dao Court cannot have a true dragon holding a high position; he will not leave such a hidden danger for the Dao Court.

Of course, people's hearts still need to be appeased.

After all, he only went into seclusion, not really died.

Moreover, Lü Yang's attitude was indeed quite good, so although Emperor Jiayou decided to strip Lü Yang of his official position, he still pretended to be magnanimous and said:
"Now you know what it means to be loyal to the country and serve the people wholeheartedly, right?"

"This is what it means to be loyal to the country and dedicated to its people!"

After praising him, Emperor Jiayou intended to strip Lü Yang of his official position. However, before he could speak, Lü Yang used the [Puppet] to contact [Angxiao].

"Do it!"

The next second, Chen Yuanli, an official of the Capital Celestial Bureau who was being manipulated by the [puppet], stood up, and then, under the astonished gazes of countless officials around him:
"For His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Qiang Qiang!"

With a sword cry, the divine sense of [Angxiao] within the fragment of the cave in Chen Yuanli's hand instantly dispelled the sword light that he had previously concealed.

In an instant, the sword light engulfed everything!
