Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 729 The Trail of Mu Changsheng
Jiangnan, where the clouds meet the sky.

Under the bright sun, amidst the shimmering sea of ​​clouds, a streak of iridescent light weaved through the clouds, and soon cautiously emerged, revealing its form.

This is an extremely contradictory figure.

At first glance, he appears to be a Taoist priest in a black robe, surrounded by billowing smoke, with a handsome and dashing face and a masculine air about him.

However, as he looked around, his face swayed, and the surrounding smoke also distorted. In a daze, it seemed as if another completely different face jumped out, but it was so blurry that he couldn't see the features, and he couldn't tell if it was male or female. Only a pair of narrow eyes were very clear, staring straight at him.

"Why are you looking at me, senior?"

Lu Yang chuckled lightly: "Didn't we agree before that I would be in charge of operating it normally? If you, senior, were to do it, it would cause too much damage to this magic weapon."

".snort!"

Angxiao did not deny it upon hearing this, after all, the current Baoshi Fawai Shen was indeed far less perfect than it was at the beginning.

But who's to blame?
'Wasn't it you, you beast, who plotted against me, causing my [Worldly Lawless Body] to clash head-on with the Iron Form, resulting in such severe damage that it's difficult to fully repair?'

Despite his best efforts to repair it, the current [Body Beyond the Laws of the World] is still unable to withstand his power. As soon as he takes control of it, it will immediately break down. On the other hand, Lü Yang is just at the limit of the [Body Beyond the Laws of the World]'s output and will not have any problems.

Just then, Lü Yang suddenly spoke:

"Speaking of which, I overheard that conversation with you at the Sword Pavilion, but there's still something I don't understand. Could you please enlighten me?"

“…say.” [Angxiao] remained noncommittal.

"It's very simple. Senior, do you think that the Demon Subduing Immortal cannot obtain the [Sword Edge Gold]? Is your reason really the same as that of the [Rigid Form Preaching True Lord]?"

Angxiao paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "It's pretty much the same."

“Gang Xing. Although I look down on this person, he is still quite capable. His assessment of the condition of [Sword Edge Gold] was not wrong.”

"That's interesting."

Lü Yang laughed and said, "It seems that the [Gangxing Preaching True Lord] really hopes that the Demon Subduing True Man can attain the [Sword Edge Gold] level. Does the senior know the reason?"

Angxiao did not answer, but gave Lü Yang a deep look and suddenly said, "Why bother with such secrecy and probing? What secret do you know? Tell me, and I can give you some advice. If you can really trick Gangxing once, I won't mind lending you a hand."

He saw through Lü Yang's thoughts at a glance.

This person wants to scam someone, but is worried that the gap between their own level and the other person's level is too large, and that there might be some oversight, so they want to consult with others so that they can scam someone together.

If it were someone else, he would naturally choose to ignore it.

However, Jian Ge is a different story.

We are all True Monarchs of the Holy Sect, and it's customary for us to scheme against each other, betray each other, and betray each other. But betraying the Sword Pavilion is a different story.

This is a serious matter of stance!

So if someone wants to sabotage Jian Ge, he'll definitely step in to help!

Seeing that Angxiao had made his stance clear, Lü Yang simply said, "As far as I know, this Great True Lord of Sword Pavilion seems to have been plotting against Heavenly Fire all along."

"[Heavenly Fire]? Him?"

"Hahaha!"

[Ang Xiao] burst into laughter, his first reaction being disbelief. But what level of skill did he possess? He realized what was going on in the next second, and his laughter abruptly stopped.

".interesting."

"Is it not that you want [Heavenly Fire], but that you want to strip [Heavenly Fire] of its supreme status and elevate [Furnace Fire] under your control?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang asked softly, "Senior, do you think this is feasible?"

".feasible!"

After pondering for a moment, Angxiao gave his answer: "Not only is it feasible, but if it succeeds, it can really help this guy escape the quagmire and rise to the top in one step!"

"However, no one has been able to verify the Heavenly Fire to this day, and it has never appeared in the world. If he wants to strip the Supreme Being, he must first find a Foundation Establishment True Person who cultivates the Heavenly Fire, help him seek gold, and lure the Heavenly Fire into the world. This is only the first step. The chances of this plan failing are very high."

"I see, that's why we need [Sword's Edge Gold]!" "With [Sword's Edge Gold], he can eliminate all possibilities of failure and anchor a successful future. Interesting, he actually came up with a plan!"

Angxiao's words made Lü Yang narrow his eyes.

'Do I need to repair the foundation of [Heavenly Fire]?'

These words reminded him of the time when he was seeking gold. In the future he saw in the pseudo-history, the Sword Pavilion would also step in at crucial moments.

However, this did not happen.

'Back then, I thought that because I had helped the Demon Master attain the [Sword Dao], the Sword Pavilion had no reason to attack me again. Now it seems I was wrong.'

'At that time, when I proved the [Heavenly Fire], the Sword Pavilion didn't intervene, probably only because [Gangxing Preaching True Monarch] was sealed in the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] by the Ancestor, making it difficult for him to act. This is interesting; [Gangxing Preaching True Monarch] needs [Heavenly Fire], and the current inheritor of [Heavenly Fire]...'

Overseas, the true dragon clan!
'As far as I know, the Old Dragon Lord left behind the [Heavenly Fire] legacy in an attempt to curry favor with the Dao Court, but is it possible that he had other plans?'

Colluding with the Daoist court was only one aspect.

On the other hand, it might also want to use this opportunity to seduce [Gangxing Preaching True Lord]. Even if it fails to get in touch with the Dao Court, it still has the Sword Pavilion as a backup.

One item, two uses!
'It's quite possible that the old Dragon Lord was able to lead the True Dragon Clan to this day mainly because he was adept at navigating complex social situations; in fact, that makes more sense!'

The next second, Lü Yang stood still.

"Hmm?" [Angxiao] frowned slightly upon seeing this: "Why aren't you moving?"

“I know where Mu Changsheng is.”

Lu Yang grinned, a look of certainty in his eyes: "He should be overseas. To be precise, at the Four Seas Gate, under the protection of the Old Dragon Lord!"

The reason is simple:
'The Old Dragon King is used to playing both sides. Now that the Four Great Dao Lords and the Heavenly Emperor are enemies, if it submits to the Four Great Dao Lords, will it ignore the Heavenly Emperor's side?'

'After all, he's just Mu Changsheng; he didn't cross the line.'

'If the old bastard from the Holy Sect demands it, then we'll just tie up Mu Changsheng and hand him over, saying we've been guarding him for him all along. What's the problem?'

'If the old Holy Ancestor hadn't intervened, it would have been a good deed for them.'

'It's a win-win situation, no matter what.'

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately formed a hand seal.

A guess is just a guess, and it's quite simple to verify it: use causal reasoning to see what the final result is.

"If we set our sights on the entire Immortal Pivot, finding Mu Changsheng would indeed be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But if we limit ourselves to the Old Dragon Lord, it would be much simpler."

The next second, sparks flew from Lü Yang's fingertips.

Behind him, the [Past Life Image] emerged, raising a lamp with flickering candlelight that instantly illuminated the great net of cause and effect.

[Holding a candle!]
In an instant, a powerful sense of "revealing secrets" spread along the great web of cause and effect, illuminating some buried hidden causes and effects clearly.

"I found it!"

Lü Yang immediately clapped his hands: "It really is at the Four Seas Gate!"

Seeing this, Angxiao frowned slightly: "Such a large fluctuation of cause and effect, we must not alert the enemy."

"Senior, don't worry."

Lu Yang remained calm, his hand gestures shifting, and the [Past Life Image] behind him moved accordingly, its original [Holding Candle] instantly reversing into [Driving Away the Night].

Immediately afterwards, endless darkness expanded from Lü Yang's body, carrying a strong sense of "hidden power," completely enveloping the causal network fluctuations it had just triggered. All things returned to stillness, with only the sea of ​​clouds rippling slightly and a few wisps of light dissipating; otherwise, there was nothing unusual.

"In this way, neither the Old Dragon King nor Mu Changsheng should find out."

Lü Yang chuckled, but Ang Xiao remained silent.

At this moment, he felt a mix of emotions:
'He actually elevated the mysteries of the Covered Lamp Fire to this level? He used the Five Elements Essence? It feels like he's deliberately mimicking my intellectual limitations.'

It feels like I got taken advantage of!
