Chapter 85 Seizing the Body
The Tongtian Statue in the City of the Dead is more than just beautiful.

This statue is the foundation of the Tingyou Sect. It is built in the center of the secret realm and coincides with the land veins of Skull Mountain. It can be said that this is the cornerstone of the Witch and Ghost Secret Realm.

The statue was built when Patriarch Tingyou was still alive, with monks as the workers and mortals as the materials. It was not until the end of Patriarch Tingyou's 300-year reign and his death that it was finally completed. There are countless miracles involved, and it also involves a trump card of the Tingyou Sect, which cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

But at this moment, everything changed.

Lu Yang was seen sitting on top of the statue without any movement. In an instant, he reversed the feng shui, replaced the statue, and became the center of heaven and earth in this secret realm!
This was not something he did intentionally, but a natural consequence of the difference in status.

Just as ordinary people only pay attention to the number one peak in the world, but mostly don’t know the number two, the heaven and earth often only pay attention to people of higher status.

"I have come here upon invitation. Where is the senior?"

Before Lu Yang finished speaking, a majestic saint figure rose from the ground behind him, and also opened and closed his lips and teeth, making a thunderous roar!

In an instant, Lu Yang's voice echoed inside and outside the secret realm.

The countless mortals in the City of the Dead were fine, but they couldn't help but cover their ears. They felt that the sound was like thunder in the mountains, and they were confused and at a loss.

Only the eight elders of the Youjiao felt that Lu Yang's voice seemed to have "weight", and it fell down and pressed down on them with a bang, shaking their escape light and making them almost fall from the air. They looked up at the saintly appearance of Lu Yang and showed horror.

"This thief is arrogant and blaspheming our ancestors!"

"Just a single voice made me wait. Could he be the same being as the Grandmaster?"

"impossible!"

For a moment, the eight elders' faces turned pale and red. The previous discussion on how to subdue Lu Yang instantly became a joke!
However, the next second, they suddenly showed joy.

The Tongtian statue trembled slightly at Lu Yang's voice, and a hidden soul within it was awakened, and a long sigh was heard:
"The disciples of the Chusheng Sect have finally arrived."

As soon as the words fell, the originally cold and hard statue suddenly relaxed its brows, and its eyes, which were originally made of fine iron, instantly showed a color of intelligence.

The foundation-building soul has awakened!
The real foundation-building soul is the same as that of the Yun family ancestor in the previous life, or even better, simply because this person's Taoism seems to be higher than that of the Yun family ancestor!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yang saw a brilliant light fly out from the Tongtian statue. Then, it used its energy to reveal an image, transforming into a handsome Taoist with white hair and a youthful face, with an immortal demeanor. It landed in front of him and sneered, "Interesting! Where is your body, young man? Only a soul remains."

"Make senior laugh."

Lu Yang smiled slightly and looked directly at Grandmaster Tingyou: "Senior, it seems that you are not in much better condition either. This should be your fifth life, right?"

He was certain that this person must be a remnant of the Witch and Ghost Sect.

However, the Witch and Ghost Dao has existed for a thousand years. If a Foundation Establishment Master wants to live to this day, he must have reincarnated at least four times. Even if he has great Taoist skills, he will not be afraid of them.

"I wonder how the senior knew I was a disciple of the Holy Sect?"

Patriarch Tingyou shook his head and said, "My friend, you almost killed all my followers with just one move. Who else could you be but a madman from the Chusheng Sect?"

Lu Yang frowned upon hearing this, then said righteously, "The predecessor's Taoism uses ghosts to herd the people and harm all living things. What I am doing is to eliminate this harm for the people!"

Tingyou Patriarch immediately laughed: "He is indeed a disciple of the Holy Sect!"

Lu Yang: “.”

After a moment of silence, Lu Yang took the initiative to change the subject: "Senior, why did you invite me here?"

"I want to escape from this predicament and re-establish my lineage of witches and ghosts." Patriarch Tingyou chuckled and said, "So I'd like to borrow something from you, little friend. Please don't refuse."

"Oh?" Lu Yang's eyes were blazing. "What do you want to borrow, Senior?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Tingyou had a strange look on his face, with a bit of creepiness in his eyes. He stared at Lu Yang as if he was looking at a prey.

Lu Yang was not afraid at all and looked at him calmly.

"My friend, you actually understand, don't you? I plan to use the help of the Chusheng Sect to break the golden elixir sword energy, so naturally I need the identity of the Chusheng Sect."

Tingyou Patriarch grinned, his teeth white and flashing with a cold light: "I am a witch and ghost master who specializes in the study of souls and spirits, and I have some experience in reincarnation and possession. I have reincarnated four times. Logically, the fifth life should be completely covered in dust and no longer transcendent, but there are some tricks." "As long as you are willing to lend me your body."

"I will replace you, and the fifth life will be able to regain its vitality. I think you have extraordinary potential, and perhaps you can help me regain the foundation-building stage."

His tone was calm, but the facts he stated made people feel uneasy.

"Senior, you want to take over my body?" Lu Yang raised his eyebrows.

"This isn't the first time. Why do you think so many people who had established their foundation died on the day the Golden Core Sword Qi descended, but I was the only one who survived?"

I heard that Master You was very experienced and he had done something similar once before. He used the method of possession to steal the body of a mortal as his home, and used the fate of the mortal to cover up his own life, thus avoiding the sweep of the golden elixir sword energy. He was the only one in the witch and ghost sect who had mastered such a method back then.

"So Senior is looking for me this time?"

"I should thank you." Grandmaster Tingyou laughed, "I don't have much time left. If you hadn't appeared, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lived much longer."

Lu Yang sneered: "Do you think you can take over my body?"

"In life, one must always fight. The Witch and Ghost Path cannot perish in my hands. For this, I am willing to pay any price, even life and death."

Having said that, Master You seemed very confident in his attitude. Perhaps he was certain that Lu Yang could not be his opponent, or perhaps after surviving for thousands of years, he had already become indifferent to many things. But no matter what, he brought a strong sense of crisis to Lu Yang at this moment.

However, Lu Yang still had a question in his mind.

If it was just a matter of taking over someone else's body, why would the Golden Core Sword Qi have to slaughter the entire secret realm? There must be a more important reason that he didn't know about.

Of course, Lu Yang didn't expect Master Tingyou to tell him.

Even if it was what he said now, Lu Yang only believed it three-quarters, not completely. After all, God knows if he said it intentionally to confuse people.

"It seems that I should wait until I capture the senior and then interrogate him in detail!"

Lu Yang's eyes flashed, and his figure suddenly disappeared, but the image of the saint behind him suddenly became clear, and two golden hands came together from the left and right to the middle.

Boom!

In an instant, brilliant golden light overwhelmed Patriarch Tingyou's vision, as if he was caught in the palm of Lu Yang's hand by the saintly form, and was about to be refined in an instant.

However, the next second, an even stronger radiance burst out from the Saint-like hand, directly exploding Lu Yang's palm. Then, dark clouds and radiance overlapped, and finally a towering mansion, with jade steps and red terraces, appeared. It was solemn and majestic, and on the plaque were three large characters:

[Hall of Yama]!
The gate of the mansion was wide open, with jade steps and red terraces. Patriarch Tingyou was sitting at the first seat, and behind him was also a Dharma body, holding a human head banner in his left hand and a book in his right hand.

This is the Prime Minister of Xuanming Palace!

"If you want to achieve foundation building, status is just an entry ticket, there is nothing to boast about." Before Master You finished speaking, the aura also soared.

Boom!

The next second, his status reached the same level as Lu Yang. Both of them stood on the same starting line, neither of them gave in at all, and collided directly with a loud bang!

In an instant, the remaining eight elders of the Tingyou Sect had no time to lend a helping hand.

The collision between the two set off huge waves visible to the naked eye, and waves surged like a tsunami, shaking them back violently and causing them to vomit blood.

Under such a collision, the light between Master Tingyou's eyebrows became brighter and brighter.

"Anyway, I can't hide it anymore. If I fail, I will become a kind person!" Master You's tone was deep, but his actions became more and more determined, as if he had already made a plan.

This mysterious foundation-building cultivator had used the method of possessing another's body to conceal the secrets of heaven, thus escaping the punishment of the golden elixir sword energy.

However, at this moment he gave up hiding and no longer concealed the secret, so that his true identity and the corresponding cause and effect became clearer and clearer.

Clang—!
In the secret realm, the golden elixir sword energy hanging high in the sky seemed to sense something and made bursts of light sounds, like a magic sword roaring in its sheath.
