Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 596 The Loyal and Righteous Lü Yang

【The True Lord of the Rigid Form Preaching】.

What a true sage he was!

He was clearly the most outstanding True Monarch in the world, in the late stage of Golden Core. Back then, when [Angxiao] did not appear and True Monarch Feixue had not yet broken through, he was the number one in the world.

But actually?
His personality, his mysterious nature, and his true treasures are almost unknown to anyone. All that is known is that he possesses a sword intent called "Championship," yet even this was suppressed by the Demon-Slaying True Man who had simultaneously cultivated two titled sword intents. Instead, this became evidence that the Sword Pavilion Great True Man's reputation was undeserved.

Even Lü Yang thought so.

[Angxiao] Don't underestimate him. True Lord Feixue believes he is terminally ill. In addition, his fruit position is indeed wrong, which makes people think he is no good.

But now, he was standing right in front of Lü Yang.

With a refined smile on his face, like a well-read scholar greeting a long-lost friend, he waved to Lü Yang:

"Fellow Daoist, I have long admired your name."

Sa——!
Lu Yang opened his mouth as if to answer, but bloodstains appeared on his neck. Then his head drooped and he fell down.

No sign.

At this moment, Lü Yang felt a chill in his heart: the other party had no intention of wasting words with him, and his first move was a fatal blow, intending to take his life directly!

"Boom!"

In an instant, flames erupted, and Lü Yang's physical body disintegrated. The Heavenly Fire shone brightly, with layers of brilliant golden iridescence re-outlining his appearance. He walked out unharmed, but the Heavenly Inscription between his brows dimmed considerably.

Forcibly inscribed: [Any True Lord can be resurrected from their position in their full glory after death!]

Lu Yang had already used it once before when surrounded and attacked by the four Immortal Lords of Shaoyin. Now it was the second time, which made his magic power deplete even more severely.

'Unfortunately, my cultivation level is still not high enough.'

Lu Yang sighed inwardly. If he followed the rules recorded in the [Ming Tian Zhang], he should be able to recover even the lost magic power once he returned to his full strength.

It should then become:
What? You're saying that using [Ming Tian Zhang] to revive will consume a lot of mana? I've already revived at my peak, what mana would I possibly need?
That's how it should be.

Unfortunately, his cultivation level was insufficient to fully implement this rule. To achieve this, he would need at least the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Moreover, some injuries cannot be cured simply by doing so.

"Kacha!"

The next second, numerous visible cracks appeared on Lü Yang's newly restored body, and boiling water and fire light surged from the cracks.

At the same time, clear bloodstains reappeared on his neck, and they continued to spread, like a bone-deep sore that it was about to cut off his head again, until a beam of light, like a clear, cold spring, fell on his body, which stopped the spread of the bloodstains.

[Let's drink together!]
The fundamental mystery of the [Spring Water] is revealed behind Lü Yang, where the newly forged banner of righteous teachings is still fluttering, and Suo Huan, standing within it, reveals a hint of worry.

Suo Huan was undoubtedly grateful to Lü Yang.

After all, without Lü Yang, his hometown would never have been able to recover, and his deceased relatives and friends would never have had any hope of being resurrected and returning.

He always kept this kindness in his heart.

Moreover, Lü Yang is the only person who will not discriminate against his status as a rogue cultivator from beyond the heavens, and is the best candidate capable of protecting him and the newly reborn Huanxu Heaven.

Thinking of this, Suo Huan immediately spoke, his voice drifting into Lü Yang's ears:

"Let's retreat for now; we'll cover the rear."

"no!"

Lu Yang rejected the proposal outright: "This time it's different. A Grand True Monarch in the late Golden Core stage, and a sword cultivator at that, can annihilate your true spirits."

Because he had also cultivated a titled sword intent and possessed a sword dao fruit position, Lü Yang knew very well that with the cultivation of the [Rigid Form Preaching True Monarch], he could completely kill the main body by severing the clone, and directly kill the true spirits of Suo Huan and others in the banner through the connection between cause and effect!

Therefore, we should ask them to stay behind to cover the rear.

If they're dead, they're truly dead. Lü Yang can only re-enter the second anchor point where they are still alive, but he will never see them in this life again.

"Fellow Daoist." Upon hearing Lü Yang's words, Suo Huan's gaze towards Lü Yang changed, while Ancestor Tingyou and Empress Xiao on the other side also showed expressions of gratitude.

Because they didn't want them to die, they didn't want them to cover the retreat?
They are so loyal and devoted!

To this, Lü Yang could only smile wryly to himself.

This is certainly not about loyalty and righteousness, but purely about self-interest. After all, if he dies, the game can be restarted, but if the banner spirit dies, it can't. That would be a complete loss.

'I was just protecting my property.'

'At most, it's just saying nice things on the surface. Anyway, this way, we can get the Patriarch, Fellow Daoist Suohuan, and Empress Xiao to work harder for us.'

That's all, nothing more. It's not about being loyal or sentimental.

In a flash, Lü Yang looked at the [Solid Form Preaching True Monarch] again.

The latter still wore that frivolous smile, but looked at Lü Yang with slight surprise before nodding: "The title of Supreme Fruit is well-deserved."

The implication is: the person is incompetent.

Lu Yang remained calm and unperturbed by honor or disgrace. He never considered himself a prodigy, so what if he was criticized? As long as he was alive, that was enough.

Seeing his appearance, it was the [Gangxing Preaching True Lord] who frowned.

At this moment, he was also scrutinizing Lü Yang, clearly somewhat surprised that such a peerless genius who had proven the [Heavenly Fire] would be so indifferent to honor and disgrace.

How should I put it? He's somewhat like the Buddha.
Upon realizing this, the smile of [Rigid Form Preacher] became even gentler, yet the murderous intent hidden beneath that gentleness had risen to another level.

'Since we've made the move, we absolutely cannot leave any survivors.'

Thinking of this, [Gangxing Preaching True Lord] immediately raised his sword finger, gently tapped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and instantly unleashed another sword light.

However, this time, Lü Yang was prepared.

He quickly took the lead, forming a hand seal and holding it to his chest. At the same time, he launched the newly crafted Ten Thousand Teachings Righteous Path Banner into the air, causing a vast purple aura to rise.

After being promoted to a True Treasure, the Banner of Righteous Teachings not only retained the original wonders of the Myriad Spirits Banner, but also added three new wonders, all related to [Heavenly Fire]. One of the wonders even incorporated the imagery of the [Imperial Decree], a heretical fruit of the Myriad Martial Realm. Its quality far surpasses that of other True Treasures.

The vast purple aura right now is one of its mystical aspects.

Its name is [Imperial Carriage], and its effect is similar to a domain. Externally, it can weaken enemies and reduce their fate; internally, it can strengthen the banner spirit and elevate its rank.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the vast purple aura engulfed [Gangxing Preaching True Lord]. These were all enemies who had been killed and entered the banner by him, and he felt no pity for their deaths.

"burst!"

At Lü Yang's command, thousands upon thousands of banner spirits exploded simultaneously, instantly shattering the sea of ​​light where the [Gangxing Preaching True Monarch] was located.

However, [the True Lord of the Rigid Form Preaching] was unharmed.

He was still dressed as a scholar, his clothes flowing and without a single tear, but with a slight frown, he looked toward where Lü Yang had been.

—It was completely deserted.

Seeing this, [Gangxing Preaching True Lord] shook his head and chuckled. Until this moment, until this moment, Lü Yang did not even ask why he wanted to kill him.

'Not easy to fool'

He had even prepared a flawless story, one that was absolutely true and without any falsehoods, just to buy time for Lü Yang.

As a result, Lü Yang didn't even ask.

There's no way around it; the Holy Sect's reputation is just too good. This kind of tactic might fool some cultivators from other places in Tianfu, but it's too difficult to fool the locals.

"But now that you've taken my sword, you can't escape."

The next second, [Gangxing Preaching True Lord] made a hand seal, took another step, and calmly strolled over to Lü Yang's location as he sensed it.
