The Sword Pavilion actually entered the arena! This point not only exceeded the expectations of Sky-Shrouding and Feixue, but even Lu Yang hadn't calculated it beforehand. It was an accident in the true sense.
But for Lu Yang, this counted as a good accident. Just as Perfected Lord Feixue's sudden intervention was also a good accident for [Sky-Shrouding].
Consider it fair!
Lu Yang laughed loudly, but soon calmed down, realizing an important problem: [White Wax Gold]... is that Perfected One Warding-Evil of the Sword Pavilion.
No good... That person can't compare to Martial Uncle Chong Guang. Martial Uncle Chong Guang had a way to rely on rituals to reverse Chen Earth. Does he have that capability? Even if he does, how many times can he reverse it? Without my help, [Sky-Shrouding] being in the Netherworld can make him fail. But the problem is how do I help...
If he really wanted to help, it would be simple.
Just use the Tribulation Wave to leave a sword mark on Perfected One Warding-Evil's Chen Earth divine ability. The problem was, how could he send the Tribulation Wave right under the Sword Pavilion's eyelids?
Wouldn't that be blowing his own cover?
Given [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao]'s shamelessness, it's extremely likely he would directly detain my Tribulation Wave, or even follow the vine to find the melon, locating my true body.
Absolutely not!
"Fellow Daoist?"
Hong Yun's anxious call came to his ears. Clearly, he also saw some clues, rushing to say: "This is an opportunity. How about I start seeking gold now?"
Hearing this, Lu Yang glanced at Hong Yun, but his eyes lit up slightly: Got it...!
The next second, he spoke directly: "Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, where is the [Shared Fate Changing Fortune Record Book]? Quickly notify Hong Ju to write according to what I say."
"Ah?"
Hong Yun was stunned for a moment but dared not neglect. Very quickly, Hong Ju far away in the Saint Sect received Lu Yang's message and immediately took action.
The content Lu Yang wanted him to write was very simple, just one sentence:
[The Sword Pavilion can make Chen Earth return to Yang]!
This was still Martial Uncle Chong Guang's method from back then, temporarily borrowing the mighty power of [Overturned Lamp Flame]. Now it was just right to help Perfected One Warding-Evil, who was breaking through, across space!
Almost simultaneously, inside the Sword Pavilion.
"...Done!"
[Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao]'s eyes flashed slightly. Then without another word, he placed his hand directly on Perfected One Warding-Evil's head, pouring spiritual power in.
Lu Yang had already provided the mighty power of [Overturned Lamp Flame] through the [Shared Fate Changing Fortune Record Book]. What he had to do was concentrate this mighty power. Not long after that, a miracle happened—Perfected One Warding-Evil's Chen Earth divine ability actually gradually surged with boiling Yang Qi!
"Opportunity! Opportunity!"
On the other side, Hong Yun became even more excited: "With the Sword Pavilion engaging [Sky-Shrouding], and me asking that fellow Chen Guanghan to stall Xue Feihong, I can seek golden core now, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Yang looked at Hong Yun again.
Unable to keep his cool... no wonder he had no achievements for five thousand years. Compared to him, Hong Tian in the [False History] was still a bit more reliable.
"...Wait a bit more, don't move."
Lu Yang shook his head: "Whoever moves first loses. Watch the changes quietly... The more anxious person now is [Sky-Shrouding]. We cannot disrupt our own formation."
Things having reached this point, we can only look at the Sword Pavilion's own ability. Since they dared to act, it shows they definitely have methods and wouldn't come out just to send themselves to death. Let's see how [Sky-Shrouding] responds. [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] is a Great Perfected Lord after all, sufficient to cause him immense pressure.
Netherworld, an Unspeakable Place.
At the instant he sensed Perfected One Warding-Evil seeking [White Wax Gold] and Chen Earth smoothly returning to Yang, [Sky-Shrouding]'s face instantly showed a look of helplessness.
"I can't hold on..."
Lu Yang's judgment was very precise. At this moment, he was actually also an arrow at the end of its flight, because [Bodhisattva Coiled Dragon Shadow]'s time was almost up.
He could clearly feel that the [One Mind] temporarily shielded by him was now rebounding at a ferocious speed. A certain colossal entity far away on the [Paramita] seemed to have realized the trouble caused by him, this ant, and was casting its gaze towards his direction bit by bit.
"Let's try first!"
[Sky-Shrouding] repeated his old trick, forming hand seals again to summon the original Yin Chen Earth, attempting to indirectly influence the gold-seeking Perfected One Warding-Evil through this.
However, the next second, a sword chime was heard.
Clang!
Sword light directly severed the connection between him and Perfected One Warding-Evil, making him unable to influence Perfected One Warding-Evil anymore. At the same time, a voice drifted into the Netherworld: "My disciple seeking golden core has nothing to do with Fellow Daoist. Do not make a mistake!"
"Nothing to do with me?" [Sky-Shrouding] sneered instantly: "Seeking [White Wax Gold]... then it has something to do with me. Gangxing, do you really intend to be enemies with me?"
"Not really."
[Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao]'s voice continued to come: "It is Fellow Daoist who intends to be enemies with my Sword Pavilion. Who told Fellow Daoist to choose [White Wax Gold] back then?"
"..."
[Sky-Shrouding] was instantly enraged! A sword bastard of the Sword Pavilion actually wielding his swords agains me? Rebellious!
When I chose [White Wax Gold] back then, Perfected One Warding-Evil's ancestors for three generations hadn't been born yet! Making a countercharge now... what's the difference from a false accusation?
"You're seeking death!"
Thinking of this, [Sky-Shrouding] had already made a decision.
After all, from beforehand until now, it was already very clear. Due to [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao]'s sudden intervention, his originally excellent situation instantly took a turn for the worse.
First, I absolutely can't let Perfected One Warding-Evil succeed; otherwise, I'm done for just the same. Second, the Pure Land side can't hold on much longer, so [Silted Sand Earth] and [White Wax Gold] are hopeless. [Overturned Lamp Flame] still has Hong Yun eyeing it covetously. Only one [Eternal Flowing Water] counts as worry-free.
But what use was that?
As long as [Overturned Lamp Flame] and [White Wax Gold] still had people threatening them, he would never have peace. If the arrangement in the Pure Land failed, he would have no fall back.
Time to act!
[Sky-Shrouding] took a deep breath and made a decision: Although Hong Yun hasn't appeared yet, I've been pushed to the extreme. I must act.
And now was different from the beginning.
Regarding Hong Yun, he already had a way.
Worth a gamble!
Thinking of this, [Sky-Shrouding] immediately grabbed the [World-Retribution Incarnation] in his hand, filled it with spiritual power, and then forcefully threw it out towards the present world.
Boom!
In an instant, purple Qi surged mightily between heaven and earth!
Almost simultaneously, inside the dense forest, Lu Yang also stood up, his gaze burning: Finally... It came out!
Lu Yang looked up at the purple Qi filling the sky and earth, curling his lips disdainfully. What purple Qi? Did he think I didn't have something similar? It's just blackish-purple!
The time has come. It's time to decide the winner!
"Begin."
Lu Yang looked at Hong Yun and smiled indifferently: "Let Hong Ju contact [Perfected Lord Hanguang Futian] to stall Feixue for a quarter of an hour. Then you start seeking golden core."
Hong Yun was stunned hearing this.
But soon, he came back to his senses. The expression on his face was instantly replaced by excitement, as if he had returned to the era when he was still [Perfected Lord Heavenly Fortune Bright Light].
He was like this back then too. With heaven and earth fortune blessing him, as long as he followed his feelings, no matter what he did, it seemed as if someone was guiding him from behind—like divine help... And now under Lu Yang's arrangement, he felt this sensation again. For a time, his fighting spirit doubled.
A moment later, Hong Yun walked out of the dense forest.
At this moment, he finally no longer concealed his aura. The light of seeking gold rose slowly. [Overturned Lamp Flame], which had just vanished for a time, was lit up again.
In an instant, heaven and earth paid attention!
Perfected Lords of various faction, Feixue, Sky-Shrouding, Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao, the three Bodhisattvas of the Pure Land, the Dao Court... none of their gazes were without scrutiny.
At the same time, Lu Yang, still hiding in the dark, took a deep breath.
Success or failure... depends on this one move!
