Why did Perfected Lord Feixue suddenly act, and even help [Sky-Shrouding]?
This question flashed through Lu Yang's mind for a fleeting moment, then he sighed: Focusing on [Sky-Shrouding], I actually ignored her...
Of course, it wasn't that he hadn't thought Perfected Lord Feixue would act. What surprised him was that after acting, Perfected Lord Feixue would choose to help [Sky-Shrouding].
The answer was actually very simple.
Because both [Sky-Shrouding] and I coincidentally abandoned Martial Uncle Chong Guang. And with Martial Uncle Chong Guang failing to seek golden core, this crazy woman naturally went berserk.
Lu Yang raised his eyes and looked towards the Kingdom of Qing. He saw that after losing his support, Chong Guang ultimately fell short at the last step. The Chen Earth divine ability turned back to Yin, repelling [Overturned Lamp Flame]. Seeking gold failed completely. The divine ability dissipated. With a cry of "Bitter suffering," his soul went straight to the Netherworld.
How could this not make Perfected Lord Feixue go crazy?
So just now she reminded [Sky-Shrouding]. Suo Huan's disguise of [Wellspring Water] could fool [Sky-Shrouding], but it couldn't fool Perfected Lord Feixue.
"What? Aren't you going to fight?"
"Continue fighting."
Above the dome of heaven, Perfected Lord Feixue stood sternly. Her beautiful face of a classical lady was now twisted, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood emerged behind her.
Seeing this, Lu Yang instantly grimaced. Undoubtedly, the current Perfected Lord Feixue already regarded both [Sky-Shrouding] and him as Dao enemies. Yet, while looking crazy, she was actually incomparably calm. She didn't attack directly either, but swayed left and right, helping whoever was at a disadvantage, acting purely as a shit-stirrer.
This is trouble...
Lu Yang also understood Perfected Lord Feixue. Even if he let Hong Yun come forward now, expressing that he could replace Chong Guang's position, she wouldn't agree.
It wasn't because of any emotional issues.
In fact, in the tenth life, Perfected Lord Feixue had once switched to supporting Hong Yun. If it were purely Hong Yun, she should accept him.
But the problem lay in: Hong Yun is not just Hong Yun anymore... At this point, everyone in the world already understands that someone is fighting [Sky-Shrouding] across space.
Perfected Lord Feixue supported Hong Yun back then because Hong Yun was completely under her control, ensuring that even if Hong Yun became a Perfected Lord, he couldn't possibly turn against her. But now, there is clearly a mastermind behind Hong Yun. Under these circumstances, believing in promises wouldn't befitting a Saint Sect Perfected Lord.
In fact, Perfected Lord Feixue wasn't wrong.
After all, even if he let Hong Yun come forward, he would definitely be prepared to deceive falsely and turn hostile immediately afterwards. This was also the basic quality of a Saint Sect Perfected Lord.
What to do next?
At this moment, Lu Yang's expression was grave, having to face a fact: Because of Perfected Lord Feixue's appearance, he had actually fallen into a disadvantage now!
At least he dared not easily let Hong Yun go seek golden core.
He was worried that as soon as Hong Yun came out, he would be beaten to death by Perfected Lord Feixue.
On the contrary, [Sky-Shrouding] was the defender. Being in the Netherworld, although Perfected Lord Feixue would also cause him trouble, she also solved problems for him.
"Hahaha!" For a time, [Sky-Shrouding] laughed aloud.
Because of Perfected Lord Feixue's reminder, he suddenly realized that Suo Huan wasn't seeking [Eternal Flowing Water], and there was no way to seek [Eternal Flowing Water] anymore.
In that case, Suo Huan could be ignored.
Because if he didn't attain [Eternal Flowing Water], he had no connection with Chen Earth, and even less could he rely on the Perfected Lord stature to reverse Chen Earth and put him to death.
Plus Chong Guang died again.
No one seeking golden core, am I safe now?
At this moment, even [Sky-Shrouding] himself was somewhat surprised. He lamented the impermanence of worldly affairs in his heart. In a blink of an eye, he turned from a huge disadvantage to safety!
In an instant, the pressure on the Pure Land increased greatly.
Because [Sky-Shrouding], having freed his hands, cast his attention over again, intending to seize this last bit of time to secure the bottom line first.
On the other side, Lu Yang looked grave.
His gaze crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, landing on Perfected Lord Feixue. He saw her expression was indifferent, having absolutely no intention of stopping [Sky-Shrouding].
I'm afraid... this is also within her expectations! She is waiting for me!
[Sky-Shrouding] turned the tables with her help and occupied the advantage. If he wanted to pull back the situation, he must let another person seek golden core to pressure [Sky-Shrouding].
This person could only be Hong Yun.
And to let Hong Yun seek golden core under Perfected Lord Feixue's eyelids and continue to involve [Sky-Shrouding], the only way was to get her acknowledgment.
This crazy woman must have long thought of a pile of unequal conditions, ensuring that after Hong Yun seeks golden core, he will obediently let her attach to his Grotto-Heaven... But how could I agree? Wouldn't that become me plotting hard for so long only to benefit her, earning nothing myself?
That would be a true loss!
For a time, Lu Yang began to frantically think of ways to break the game: [Perfected Lord Hanguang Futian]... can I make him act to help me block Perfected Lord Feixue?
Lu Yang thought for a moment, then sighed in his heart:
Probably very difficult... [Perfected Lord Hanguang Futian]'s character is clearly steady. He probably wouldn't be willing to act at this time and provoke Perfected Lord Feixue.
Am I Really going to fail?
Jiangnan, Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion.
On the Extreme Heaven Cliff, a refined-looking young man stood with hands behind his back. Only a sword mark on his glabella highlighted his hidden sharpness.
It was [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao]!
Soon, a streak of light landed. It was Perfected One Warding-Evil of the Sword Pavilion.
This Foundation Establishment Perfection Great Perfected One cultivating [White Wax Gold] knelt on one knee without hesitation upon appearing, saying respectfully: "Disciple greets the Ancestor."
"Rise."
[Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] chuckled lightly, signaling the latter to rise, then said: "To be honest, although you are the most outstanding disciple of my Lin family in this generation, I had actually given up on you before... After all, you cultivate [White Wax Gold]. Strictly speaking, your Dao path is basically broken."
"Disciple understands..."
Hearing this, Perfected One Warding-Evil almost crushed his teeth. Since [Sky-Shrouding] appeared in the world, he also understood how awkward his current situation was.
However, the next second, [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] changed the topic: "But now it is your opportunity."
"Sky-Shrouding, Feixue, and a mysterious Fellow Daoist... Three parties fighting. Now Sky-Shrouding has the upper hand, and Feixue has other scheme."
"And that mysterious Fellow Daoist has now fallen into a predicament."
"This is your chance."
Speaking of this, [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] said indifferently: "If you aspire to the Great Dao, seek golden core now. At least that mysterious Fellow Daoist will come to help you."
"Plus I will protect you."
"There should be a chance of success."
Hearing this, Perfected One Warding-Evil instantly became solemn, with almost no hesitation: "Disciple is willing!"
He had to admit, [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] didn't speak in absolutes, only saying there was a chance of success. But no matter what, it was better than the Dao path being cut off before.
As for risk, what thing has no risk?
Just now he witnessed Chong Guang's ending with his own eyes. This is the sorrow of a lower cultivator. Without becoming a Perfected Lord, one doesn't even have autonomy over one's own Dao path.
Therefore, no matter how great the risk, he must fight for it!
At this moment, Perfected One Warding-Evil even forgot his jealousy towards Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon. his entire mind turned into a decisive sword intent of living towards death.
Seeing this, [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] nodded: "At least you're not beyond redemption."
"Sit down, begin."
"Disciple understands!"
As his voice fell, Perfected One Warding-Evil immediately condensed his aura. The next second, the [White Wax Gold] that originally only manifested in the direction of the Pure Land instantly generated a response!
Almost simultaneously, Lu Yang, Sky-Shrouding, and Perfected Lord Feixue all sensed it.
In an instant, Sky-Shrouding gritted his teeth, Feixue frowned, and only Lu Yang was overjoyed. He felt like seeing another village amidst willow and flowers, instantly sweeping away his previous worries.
Well done! Old Gang!
Just for helping me this time, I won't take the interest for the grudge of you chasing and killing me in the last life!!
