Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 709 Joining forces with Ang Xiao?
At this moment, Lü Yang's face remained completely expressionless.

He didn't even waver in his gaze, staring directly at Angxiao, who was ten meters away, as if he hadn't noticed his presence at all.

'They came so fast!'

The appearance of Angxiao here was within his expectations, after all, there was still a trace of Angxiao's past adventures in the Human World.

This shows that Angxiao actually knew about this place as well.

The problem is that it shouldn't have been this fast. If Angxiao was determined to cause trouble for Hongyun, he should at least have gone to the Seven Luminaries Academy first, right?

That's where the causal relationship with good fortune is greatest.

'The normal procedure should have been for [Angxiao] to first deduce the cause and effect of the good fortune, then deduce it to the Seven Luminaries Heaven, and then search there, only to find nothing.'

"Then I continued to deduce, but still couldn't find the location of the auspicious cloud. That's when I thought of the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man], and came here to take a look. By then, I would have already refined the auspicious cloud, cleaned up the mess, and even used [Cuckoo's Nest] to possess a rogue cultivator from the Taihuang Realm and then gone into hiding."

However, Angxiao arrived too early.

Not only that, the next second Lu Yang saw [Angxiao] blink his misty eyes and then suddenly walk towards him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy footsteps echoed in the Void Sea of ​​Light, but did not attract even the slightest fluctuation of the [Two Elements of Life and Death Mysterious Light], as if it were just a dream.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

To the surrounding [Two Elements of Life and Death Mysterious Light], [Angxiao] at this moment is non-existent, illusory, and should not be noticed in the slightest!

The footsteps sounded wrong!

'Is this a test? Can I hear his footsteps? If I do, wouldn't that reveal my ability to sense his presence?'

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang's expression became even more natural.

'He's doubting me!'

They suspect I'm connected to Hongyun and [Fudeng Huo]!

After all, only [Fu Deng Huo], whose main purpose is "revealing secrets", can see through the barriers of knowledge. If he could do it too, it would be equivalent to self-exposure in [Ang Xiao]'s eyes.

With this in mind, Lü Yang decided to take drastic measures.

His gaze was calm, passing directly over Angxiao as if he were just glancing at him casually, before he severed the flames.

In an instant, Angxiao's figure disappeared from his sight.

However, the next second, Lü Yang's expression changed.

The footsteps did not disappear as he disconnected the [Covering Lamp Fire] connection; instead, they became even more intense, echoing through the sea of ​​light.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

This time, Lü Yang finally couldn't hold back his emotions any longer.

'Exposed'

He had figured out Angxiao's tactics. The other party hadn't concealed his footsteps from the beginning, and a normal person should have shown surprise.

However, because he felt guilty, he subconsciously tried to remain calm.

The result, however, exposed him. After all, if you can clearly hear footsteps but pretend not to know, what else could it be but having a guilty conscience?

"Oh dear, it's impossible to guard against this."

He let out a long, decisive sigh, then, no longer concealing himself, looked directly in Angxiao's direction and solemnly bowed.
"I've met senior."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yang activated the [Past Life Image] and used the profound [Covering Lamp Fire] to illuminate the hidden depths, revealing [Angxiao] once again.

Only then did Angxiao finally speak:
"I am not worthy of being called a senior in front of you, fellow Daoist."

"After all, you used Hongyun's help to make me suffer a great setback. Now that your cultivation has greatly improved, it seems you're going to discard Hongyun after you've served your purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang tilted his head: "What good fortune?"

Before he finished speaking, Angxiao had already made his move. The entire Celestial Remnant Sense trembled under his rage, and billowing azure light surged forth.

Looking out, it resembles millions of leaves. These leaves spread out, rustling as they sway, clinging to the branches with the power to shake the wind, and clustering together the twigs as high as the moon.

At this moment, Lu Yang's eyes were only on the [Great Forest Tree] that had sprung up before him. All other thoughts and distractions, whether it was the idea of ​​casting spells or the thought of retaliating, seemed to be gently wiped away by a hand, and he was completely immersed in the forest before him.

"【Covering the Lamp Fire】is merely a slight restraint on the obstacle of knowledge and perception."

"After all, I'm not at the Supreme Realm. If we were to really fight, I'm still far from it! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been me killing Hongyun back then, but Hongyun killing me!"

Before he could finish speaking, a hand had already lightly landed on Lü Yang's chest.

"boom!"

A dull, explosive sound rang out, causing Lü Yang's body to sway for a moment. However, the next second, [Angxiao] let out a soft, puzzled exclamation.

Lü Yang is safe and sound.

The overwhelming magical power, enough to shatter a Golden Core True Monarch and even make it difficult for his soul to reincarnate, struck Lü Yang squarely, yet it felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Not only that, even the influence from [Great Forest Wood] was completely severed at this moment. The previously dazed Lü Yang regained his senses, his empty eyes refocused, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and threw a powerful punch at [Ang Xiao] who was right in front of him!

"Boom!"

Lu Yang's punch was no ordinary one; the savage force emanating from his strong body was almost equivalent to an image, and it struck Ang Xiao's face like a tidal wave!

In an instant, [Angxiao] raised his head!
Even the smoke around him was blasted away quite a bit by Lü Yang's punch, which made Lü Yang extremely happy and even incredulous.

'I fought back?'

Faced with Angxiao's prejudice, I not only held on, but even had the strength to fight back. At this thought, Lü Yang almost shed two lines of tears.

I've finally made it this far! I've finally succeeded!
The principle behind his breaking free from [Angxiao]'s methods is quite simple: [Wangshengxiang] autonomously sensed and redirected all the attacks he received.

It is precisely the profound mystery of his Dharma body, the [Three Lives Primordial Qi Method]!

All attacks are in the future.

I am completely unharmed!
At the same time, Angxiao, who had taken the punch from Lü Yang, took a few steps back lightly before standing still and looking at Lü Yang.

After a moment, he spoke again:
"Fellow Daoist, let's join forces."

"Join forces?" Lu Yang's mouth gaped slightly.

Angxiao remained calm and said lightly, "That's right. After all, you are now a target of public criticism, just like me. It's a good opportunity for us to join forces."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang gradually frowned.

This feeling is very subtle.

How should I put it? [Angxiao] seemed very calm. It wasn't an act, nor was it a forced suppression of anger. He was genuinely calm, with almost no anger.

'But he shouldn't be so calm.'

'I schemed to make him lose his Netherworld, his cultivation level, and suffer a near-amputation injury below his eyebrows. If I were in his shoes, would I still be in the mood to cooperate with my enemy?'

Choosing to fight to the death is considered calm!

'Angxiao's reaction is wrong!'

This is not the reaction one would expect from someone who has lost all hope.

The true path to enlightenment is extinguished, just look at the legendary Master Quexie back then. Compared to him, Angxiao's reaction was clearly abnormal.

It was just like—

'Does he have alternative plans besides the underworld?'
