Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 693 It's time to settle old scores!

There were two main purposes for planting the "Reform Law" in Chongguang's mind.

Firstly, it is naturally to help Chongguang fight against [Angxiao].

'After all, based on my experience, even if Uncle-Master Chongguang can reverse Chentu, Angxiao can still reverse it back in the end.'

Otherwise, Chongguang wouldn't have failed in his quest for gold.

'However, with my support, even if [Angxiao] reverses Chentu's fortunes a second time at a crucial moment, I can step in and reverse it a third time.'

"Given my position, and with Angxiao constrained by the True Lord of the World and trapped in the Underworld, his ability to contribute is limited. In the Chentu Incident, he should be able to put up a good fight. Even if he loses, it doesn't matter, since it's just a matter of diverting Uncle Chongguang's attention by using his pursuit of gold."

Rather, winning would be more troublesome.

This was also his second objective.

If Uncle-Master Chongguang were to unleash his astonishing potential and, with his own help, withstand the pressure from [Angxiao], he might actually succeed in obtaining [Fudeng Fire].

'Then I must use this backup plan to stop him.'

After all, if Chongguang really succeeds, what good will it prove?

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I'll make it up to you in the next life!"

After making arrangements for his Uncle-Master Chongguang, Lü Yang took advantage of the fact that True Monarch Feixue was still fighting with True Monarch Hanguang Futian to quietly leave the Qing Kingdom.

Overseas, the earth's fire and the sea's heart furnace.

Without stopping for a moment, Lü Yang arrived at Suo Huan's overseas headquarters and immediately took out the Righteous Path Flag.

"Fellow Daoist Suo, how have you been?"

"I am fine, thank you for your concern, sir."

Purple energy wafted within the Righteous Path Banner.

Soon, Suo Huan's figure appeared. Although he had fallen from the Golden Core realm, his status was still far superior to that of a Foundation Establishment True Person.

Seeing this, Lü Yang smiled wryly: "How many times have I said it? We are not superiors and subordinates. We should address each other as fellow Daoists. Saying it like that every day will easily create distance."

"I understand, my lord."

Suo Huan cupped his hands in greeting, but did not change his form of address.

Having known each other for so long, he knew that Lü Yang wasn't just being polite; he genuinely believed it. However, he also had his own principles.

In his view, Lü Yang had done him and Huanxu Tian a great favor, so much so that he could never repay it. Therefore, using a respectful title for Lü Yang was just a way for him to express his gratitude. Only towards Lü Yang would he willingly and without any reservations bow and pay his respects.

This was something he had planned beforehand.

Looking back, in order to obtain gold and save Huanxutian, he begged countless people and performed countless rituals, yet he was still treated like dirt.

Only Lü Yang chose to help him.

Therefore, he had already concluded:
He would never bow to anyone again, nor would he bow to anyone else, except for Lü Yang. There was no one in the world worthy of his bowing.

Then, he turned his head to look at another "self" not far away, inside the Earth Fire Sea Heart Furnace, and a complex look appeared in his eyes.

That was my former powerless self.

The next second, Suo Huan's eyes regained their determination. With a wave of his hand, he absorbed the other self, and a light gradually appeared in his eyes.

Lu Yang looked on with a hint of envy.

After all, having restarted so many times, he had realized that absorbing his past self after restarting seemed to improve his comprehension to some extent.

This is particularly evident in the case of Master Tingyou.

For example, in this life, he retrieved all the banner spirits from the Myriad Spirits Banner in Yuan Tu's hands, and now the Listening Nether Ancestor in the Righteous Path Banner has become a four-in-one.

His comprehension is terrifyingly strong. Just how strong? To put it bluntly, it's so strong that even when Lü Yang just looks at Ancestor Tingyou, he feels a little stupid.

what is this?
This is imagery!
Although it hasn't reached the level of attaining the fruition stage yet, Lü Yang could sense that the astonishing wisdom of Patriarch Tingyou was gradually approaching a certain limit.

Compared to that, Suohuan's improvement, while not as significant, was still considerable. He had already made progress when he absorbed his first self; otherwise, proving the [Spring Water] would have been much more difficult for him. Now, after absorbing his second self, he has visibly become smarter.

'Unfortunately, I'm the only one who can't smoke it.'

Lu Yang smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful but not jealous. After all, the wisdom of the patriarch was the same as his own, so there was no difference.

"The rest is up to you, fellow Daoist."

Lu Yang looked at Suo Huan. At this moment, the other party had already absorbed the original body and assumed all the cause and effect. Even if Ang Xiao were right in front of him, he would not be able to tell the difference.

In this way, Angxiao's arrangements on Suohuan were rendered useless.

Not only is it useless, but if the disguise plan succeeds and tricks Angxiao into opening the gates of the underworld, it might even be able to deliver a fatal blow to him at a crucial moment!
"Hey hey hey"

Thinking of this, Lü Yang let out a sinister laugh.

'【Covered Lamp Fire】, 【Long Flowing Water】, 【White Wax Gold】, 【Sand in Earth】, and 【Soaring Clouds】—all the hidden moves left by these elements in their respective positions have been removed by me.'

How could he possibly survive?

However, Lü Yang quickly recovered from the excitement of avenging his great enemy, his expression returned to calm, and he began to consider his escape route:
'The massacre of Angxiao was merely a step in the process.'

'Although I have a slight personal grudge against Angxiao, I always distinguish between right and wrong, and I would never retaliate over a small personal grudge.'

The primary objective remains [Covering the Lamp].

"According to my plan, in the end, Angxiao will be too preoccupied to stop Hongyun, but that's beforehand; what happens afterward is uncertain."

After all, that was an encroachment on [Covering the Lamp Fire].

Unlike the usual pursuit of power and position, this is a forced seizure of the throne. No one knows what the consequences or reactions will be.

One wrong move and it's time to reopen.

Especially since the conquest of [Covering Lamp Fire] is not yet over, he must find another opportunity to kill Hongyun and turn this [Life Form Body] into his own.

This takes time, and even more so, it requires a venue.

However, after absorbing [Covering the Lamp Fire], Hongyun will inevitably become the focus of the world, attracting the attention of Dao Lords. Who can cause trouble under their noses?
Lu Yang calmed down and quickly came up with an answer:

'[Remnant Knowledge of Celestials] This secret realm, which can even block the sight of a Dao Lord, is the perfect place, enough to serve as my escape route!'

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang immediately took action.

Jiangxi, dense forest.

Looking at the coordinates of the Void Sea of ​​Light that Lü Yang handed him after his return, Hongyun asked in confusion, "The Outer Heavens? What's so great about going to a place like that?"

"You'll find out in time, fellow Daoist."

Lu Yang smiled slightly: "When you return to [Covering the Lamp Fire], you will naturally understand. At that time, going to this coordinate should still offer a glimmer of hope."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun frowned slightly, then suddenly realized and nodded: "I understand. Fellow Daoist, are you worried about Angxiao's retaliation afterward? Indeed, Angxiao is a villain, but his cultivation is extremely high. We have ruined his path, so it is a fight to the death. We should be more vigilant."

Lü Yang remained noncommittal.

He simply looked up, gazing into the distance, as if he could see through to the deepest hell and see the figure sitting before the gates of the underworld, the one who had terrified him for countless lifetimes.

Everything is ready; now it's time to lure them into the trap.

"【Angxiao】, as the saying goes, yesterday's grudges are like thorns in your back. Fortune's wheel turns, so don't blame me this time; it's time we settled old scores!"
