Chapter 755 The Dark Moon Emperor of Xuanque
Yue Hanzhang could clearly sense the dramatic shift in Shang Shi's emotions the instant he uttered those words, a complete 180-degree turn.

Since that spark was ignited, it has become a prairie fire.

Since the restoration of the Beihai Kingdom, and since Yue Hanzhang led the rise of the Beihai Tiandu lineage of cultivators.

It's rare for a business owner to be in such a repressed state anymore.

That was a common sense of repression that Yue Hanzhang often encountered when he first met Master Shang, or even when he first met many of the older generation of the Tiandu Daoist lineage.

Beneath that seemingly peaceful surface lies a raging torrent of suppressed emotions.

Yue Hanzhang then understood.

At this moment, those dead memories struck and pierced through the merchant's heart once again.

The merchant paused for a moment, then, as if emphasizing something, repeated the same sentence.

"Back then, the two Saint Realms of Beihai Tiandu were destroyed in this way!"

"It was a scene that seemed familiar, with even the smallest details and steps exactly the same."

"Hanzhang, there can't possibly be so many coincidences in this world, can there?"

The merchant's words sounded like a question to Yue Hanzhang, or perhaps a murmur to himself.

And as soon as the words fell.

In an instant, Yue Hanzhang’s extremely gentle voice rang out. This was a very rare tone of voice. It was as if Yue Hanzhang was comforting Shang Shi, who was experiencing intense emotions of dreaming back to the past.

"Victory or defeat on the battlefield is one thing, but when a group of people suddenly go mad, acting as if they don't recognize their own family, there must be something fishy going on!"

"The teacher also said that the situation was the same in the past."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is aimed at me. By overthrowing Jinzhou and establishing the Jade Capital Academy, I've already pointed my blade at the necks of the powerful families of the Dao Alliance in various prefectures."

"Of course they'll weigh me again."

"The backlash from the powerful families was something that Liu Jingqiu and I had long anticipated."

"If it succeeds, the great cause of revolution will not be confined to just one state!"

"Don't worry, teacher. They're waiting for me to handle this unexpected turn of events, and I'll be the one to face it!"

As he finished speaking, Yue Hanzhang's voice became firm and powerful.

However, upon hearing Yue Hanzhang's resounding words, Shang Shi calmly shook his head.

"No, Hanzhang, I can't rest easy!"

“Ever since I stood in Qizhou and could only watch helplessly as the demon race’s iron hooves swept through the entire Beiting Protectorate, destroyed the Tiandu Dao Academy, and annihilated the Beihai Royal Family, I have never been able to have peace of mind!”

“You all say that it is because of my existence that most of the main Daoist lineages of the Tiandu Dao Academy have been able to continue.”

"That statement is both right and wrong."

"What is truly precious about Tiandu Dao Academy has never been these inheritances!"

"Only I know the true meaning of it all."

"You said they came here today for you, maybe that really is the case..."

"But that's their goal."

"From my perspective, this is the unfinished chapter and lingering charm of the former Tiandu Dao Academy!"

“You’re right about one thing: Hanzhang, a lineage that continues, must trace back to the source of the legal tradition and the cause and effect of its inheritance!”

"I am the source of the transmission of all laws, your teacher on the path to transcendence, and the current head of the Heavenly Capital Academy and the master of the Heavenly Capital Sacred Realm!"

"Some things must come first to me, first to us old folks, and then to you rising stars!"

"I wasn't in that battle back then."

"Hanzhang, I cannot be absent again today!"

Speaking of it.

The merchant suddenly laughed.

It's hard to describe, but at this moment, an old lady who usually has a kind and gentle smile suddenly exuded an aura of domineering power.

"Hanzhang, to be honest, for a long time now, I've thought more than once about what would have happened if you hadn't appeared, or if you weren't a successor of the Tiandu Dao Academy lineage?"

"Your appearance has changed many people and many things."

"To be honest, we old guys have been holding in a lot of pent-up frustration, and you've opened up a whole new chapter for us..."

"I've thought about this more than once: what would happen if I released that pent-up anger?"

There are no "what ifs" in this world.

"But who could blame them? These deserving-to-be-killed bastards actually recreated the scene from the past and are now launching another attack on the cultivators of our Beihai Tiandu lineage!"

"Threatening the two Saint Realms of Beihai Tiandu and the Jade Capital Academy of Jinzhou, just to force you out?"

"These powerful families are so unreasonable! What do they take us for?!"

“I know that you, with your [Two Forms True Form], which controls thunder and fire, have long since mastered the ability to lock away all auras, preventing any scripture curtain from reflecting the starry sea.”

"Your so-called 'becoming just another face in the crowd' is nothing but a facade, a tactic of retreating to advance."

"Since this illusion is so effective, it shouldn't be so easily exposed with just a little testing, don't you think?"

"Speaking of fading into obscurity..."

"I was once a prodigy myself, and so were all of us old folks back then, but we were all forced to choose the path of late-blooming success through accumulation."

"It's not that this path is bad, but looking back, in terms of the talents of geniuses and prodigies, I have never been ordinary, nor have I become just another ordinary person."

"In fact, my extraordinary talent has never truly taken off, never truly risen to prominence, has it?"

"I want to try it out, to see if releasing that pent-up emotion will lead to a transformation and sublimation, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate!"

"You and I are both following the most orthodox path of the Wanfa school."

"Logically speaking, if I were to take another step forward, I should be able to be like you, at the third level of the Venerable King realm, with the burst of my monstrous talent, and unleash my combat power throughout the entire Outer Realm Venerable King realm!"

"My path is called [Fengdu Tomb Master]. The meaning of Tomb Master is to refine the Yin Qi with extremely powerful methods and master its harmony."

"Once one follows this path and reaches the realm of the Venerable King of the Outer Realm, one inherits the lineage and title, becoming known as the Yin-Yang King! This transcends the refinement and mastery of the Yin energy, truly allowing one to rule over all Yin and Sha energies like the King of Fengdu!"

"But what if we could leap forward another step! What if the talents of geniuses and prodigies were to erupt, and on that basis, we could turn the rotten into the miraculous!"

"That is the King of the Underworld of Fengdu!" "I am the King of the Taiyin!"

As he finished speaking, Shang Shi stared intently at Yue Hanzhang.

"Hanzhang, you come to oversee the Tiandu Dao Academy, to protect me, and to witness how your master will fight this unfinished battle from years ago!"

The merchant then stopped there.

Yue Hanzhang was left with almost no choice but to agree.

He was a little emotional.

Despite his meticulous planning and foresight, he had anticipated the various underhanded schemes and plots of the stubborn aristocratic families, but he had overlooked the state of mind of the cultivators from the Beihai Tiandu lineage around him.

Similarly, the powerful families went to great lengths and made such a grand show of force to force Yue Hanzhang out and reassess his worth on his downward spiral.

However, these aristocratic families did not expect that this move would not force out Yue Hanzhang, but instead bring out Master Shang, whose heart was pierced by the memories of his past death, and the "remnants" of the former Tiandu Dao Academy who had already reached the Outer Realm Venerable King realm!

and.

Yue Hanzhang was originally worried about Shang Shi's actions. After all, the ancestral kings of the demon race, with the force of thousands of troops, tore through the ancient battlefield and charged towards the border of the Dao Alliance. This was almost equivalent to the surging power of heaven.

No matter how angry the merchant was.

Even with her previous cultivation level of the second stage of the Outer Realm, it would be difficult for her to contend with her.

However, when the merchant mentioned the Three Heavens and the lineage of the "Fengdu Tomb Chief," he talked about the three transformations from the Tomb Chief to the Yin King and then to the Taiyin Emperor.

Furthermore, it is said that the orthodox path structure of the Wanfa School is such that geniuses and prodigies are endowed with the talent to extend their combat power throughout the entire realm in the Three Heavens.

Yue Hanzhang was completely relieved.

He even felt somewhat relieved.

Yes.

He was hiding his true abilities and playing the role of the sixth person in the whole incident.

But when it comes to concealing one's talents and discussing the sixth master, the business master in front of us is the real grandmaster!

Aside from the time when the scripture curtain reflected the sea of ​​stars in the second exterior scene.

Whether it's the reflection of the remaining Daoist landscape, the unfolding of the path to refine truth, the condensation of the Daoist aura of a king, or even the subsequent unfolding of the three heavens' Daoist sea of ​​flames.

All of this can be done silently if one wants to hide it.

This is not a rash act of anger by a business strategist, but a move backed by genuine confidence and solid foundation.

then.

Yue Hanzhang stood up with pleasure and nodded solemnly to Master Shang.

"Alright, this disciple will provide backup!"

"I, along with all the cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage, have witnessed our teacher complete this unfinished battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before the merchant had even turned around, he already showed a relieved expression and a satisfied, joyful smile.

"Good! Good! Good!"

She looked up at the deep, dark sea of ​​stars.

"Teacher... senior brothers... senior sisters... did you see that?"

"You all should watch closely too..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the merchant turned around.

In the distant sky.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the ancestral kings of the demon race charged through the rear of the human cultivators and completely broke out of the ancient battlefield, igniting the flames of war towards the starfield borders of the Dao Alliance!

And in this process.

The battle lines were crumbling horizontally, but had not yet reached the section of the battle line where the cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage were stationed.

However, the demon kings who fought their way out of the ancient battlefield encountered fierce resistance from the human cultivators who had survived the chaos of the battle.

However, these people may not all have good intentions.

Yue Hanzhang saw it clearly: many of these people had been prepared in the blink of an eye, and had acted decisively in the chaos, completely annihilating the crazed cultivators, with suspicion of destroying evidence.

And it was precisely through their stubborn resistance, through their fighting and retreating all the way, that they were able to achieve their goal.

A dynamic defensive line was gradually being established, and it was precisely with the subtle changes in this defensive line that the army of the demon ancestral kings who had invaded the territory of the Dao Alliance were guided directly to the direction of the Second Holy Realm of the Northern Sea Heavenly Capital.

It was at this moment.

Merchant Master stepped out from the Heavenly Capital Sacred Realm, facing the army of the ancestral kings of the demon race!
Swish—swish—

Two layers of divine light shone behind her, and the harmonious and all-encompassing aura of a king soared into the sky.

But this is not the end.

next moment.

Another magnificent curtain of divine splendor suddenly opened.

The grand curtain reflected the world of the merchant's form and spirit, with a seal of Taiyin runes spreading out, fixing the last wisp of smoke in the storm of birth and death born from the collision of the two true spirit worlds.

This is a wonderful method that Dao Hai Ling Wu brought to Master Shang.

Thus, the moment the thought arose, all the Taiyin seal patterns that filled the sky like a net vanished into thin air.

As the last wisp of smoke swirled, it gave birth to the final Dao seal, which perfectly embodied the ultimate limit of the One Yuan.

boom--

Suddenly, the third layer of divine light transformed into a scripture curtain reflecting the starry sea!

The power of heaven and earth and nature surges forth!

Reflecting the merchant's extraordinary presence, like that of a celestial being, and even more so the divinely bestowed scripture name on the curtain behind her—

The Supreme Northern Pole Refining Evil and Illuminating Calamity Observation of Death Mysterious Palace True Scripture

Xuanque is the northern palace, the residence of the Heavenly Emperor!
