Chapter 847 Each Reaps the Reward
this moment.

Behind the undisguised disappointment in Lin Laogui's aged voice lay a truly chilling surge of greed.

This insatiable greed not only alarmed the patriarchs of the prominent families present.

This also alarmed Yue Hanzhang.

This was the first time Yue Hanzhang had experienced the feeling of working with such a wicked yet righteous, indiscriminate old monster, that it was like dealing with a tiger for its skin.

If Yue Hanzhang's judgment of the entire situation still retained true rationality, he was able to clearly determine the various limits of the changing situation.

If one is able to realize that at a certain moment, the number of aristocratic elders one can attract has reached its limit.

Lin Laogui, on the other hand, had a demonic mindset that was recklessly determined to break through the limits of this situation, and he wanted to see if Yue Hanzhang could attract more patriarchs from aristocratic families.

Even if this almost extreme observation comes at the cost of Yue Hanzhang's safety, which is already on the verge of spiraling out of control.

Even if, in name, he and Yue Hanzhang were accomplices in this scheme.

Old Ghost Lin did just that, revealing without hesitation the cold-hearted side of himself as the founder of the Human Yuan Golden Core cultivation method.

Yue Hanzhang thought maliciously.

The reason why Old Ghost Lin sighed and made his move just now was probably not because he realized that no more patriarchs from aristocratic families would cross over to this place.

Instead, they realized that if this continued, Yue Hanzhang would really have to flee back to the territory already explored by the Dao Alliance, and the current situation of harassment would no longer exist.

Only then did Old Ghost Lin, who was only focused on the path ahead, manage to suppress his ever-surging greed.

Behind his greedy desire lies a chilling malice and evil that "penetrates the paper" in the minds of all cultivators!
Even as Yue Hanzhang's thoughts continued to extend...

He even felt that at least 30% of this malice and evil was directed at him.

Yes.

In order to destroy this nest.

Yue Hanzhang unleashed almost all of his Taoist magic.

With his undisguised and overwhelmingly powerful offensive techniques, Yue Hanzhang not only defeated those in the upper realm, but also killed them instantly, one after another!

Yue Hanzhang then continued to put himself in Yue's shoes.

If he were Lin Laogui, when he saw that the junior he had invited to help him, to be used as bait, possessed the same combat power as him to instantly kill the patriarchs of various families, he would be in awe.

What would I think?
Was your first thought gratitude? Gratitude to Yue Hanzhang for going to such lengths to secure the nest?
No.

This person, who only sees their own path, will instantly feel a sense of crisis—

Once the current predicament ends and the source of extraordinary power within the jade cauldron is completely purified, one can immediately break through the barriers that bind one's path forward.

At that time, with someone who possessed such offensive and killing techniques by his side, he had to devote a great deal of energy to the transformation of his physical form, spirit, and the origin of the Dao.

Like a light on my back!

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

This is Lin Laogui's instinctive emotional reaction!
Even if this person is nominally one's "teammate".

However, Lin Laogui and Yue Hanzhang had never spent much time together, and this "teammate bond" was almost insignificant in Lin Laogui's eyes, who had stirred up a dark and turbulent era.

In fact, he actually believed in this "team spirit," which made Yue Hanzhang doubt Lin Laogui's naivety!

It is precisely because of this uneasy sense of crisis.

This compelled Lin Laogui to make an appropriate response.

So, when you feel a sense of crisis, the best approach is to make the other person feel the same way.

Only when it is clear that both sides can pose a threat.

A completely new balance can be rebuilt between Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui.

This shift in mindset is quite subtle.

Ultimately, it was nothing more than the result of Yue Hanzhang's swift and decisive killing of three Inner Realm Dao Lords, which startled the patriarchs of various aristocratic families and also frightened the old ghost Lin who had organized the event.

However, this initial shock quickly transformed into a mutual deterrent that made Yue Hanzhang feel equally threatened. Realizing this, Yue Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that Lin Laogui's original intention was still to maintain a balanced relationship between the two.

Instead of suppressing this fear and then, once the situation is resolved, devising treacherous and opportunistic actions, they chose to discard the useful tool after it has served its purpose.

In the blink of an eye, a multitude of thoughts surged within Yue Hanzhang's calm and rational mind, only to settle away once more.

However, compared to Yue Hanzhang at this moment.

Facing Lin Laogui's 70% malice and evil thoughts, the patriarchs of the various families were now left with only pure fear of death.

However, such intense fear cannot be transformed into combat power.

Faced with the threat of death, all emotional turmoil is pale in comparison.

Swish—swish—swish—

The blood-red banners arrived in an instant.

Like destroying with ease.

Faced with the pale faces of the six aristocratic patriarchs who had just arrived, they tried their best to open their Dao Lord domains.

However, the moment the spiritual light of the Dao was born, it was suppressed by the blood-red banner.

The supreme divine weapon pierced through the sky and arrived.

Login time.

The magical light surrounding his body vanished in an instant, like a dazzling firework.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

Following the collapse of that magical light, the frail forms and spirits of these six people vanished amidst the sky filled with blood-red light. And at the instant their forms and spirits collapsed, along with the magical light...

The collapse storm erupted instantly where the six blood-red banners stood!
And in the very first instant the storm was brewing, thanks to the connection between the six banners, the six collapsing storms instantly merged into one!

boom--!
In a flash, Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui exchanged a silent glance.

Old Ghost Lin's eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

It was as if silently explaining to Yue Hanzhang the difference in attack power between instantly killing six Inner Realm Dao Lords and successively suppressing and killing three Inner Realm Dao Lords.

The next instant, Yue Hanzhang turned his head to look to his side.

The crimson wind completely enveloped the area.

The surging pressure of the collapsing storm, which combines six forces, swept in all directions.

Previously, these nine Inner Realm Dao Lords had already opened their Dao Lord Domains one after another, but their originally complete and harmonious Dao Lord Domains all cracked with dense cracks in this instant under the combined effect of the bloody wind and the pressure.

The rift at the level of Daoist principles was transmitted directly to the level of the origin of form and spirit at this moment.

The instant he looked, the Daoist aura of the [Myriad Manifestations Eye] poured out, and the moment the bridge between form and spirit was grafted, Yue Hanzhang had already turned around, holding the supreme divine weapon that had transformed into an eight-sided Han sword, and stepped into the ever-changing interplay of reality and illusion.

This was Yue Hanzhang's equally silent response to Lin Laogui.

There is no essential difference between killing six people instantly and killing three people in three instants.

Each person has only one life.

For them, life and death are a matter of a single moment.

Such extreme offensive tactics pose an equal threat to both sides.

Swah——

The next moment.

Yue Hanzhang's form shifted between reality and illusion, his divine form wielding an unparalleled divine weapon, appearing within the Daoist Lord's inner world.

The six avatars outside the body scattered in all directions.

Yue Hanzhang's physical body rushed straight towards the weak inner spiritual realm.

The whole process.

Yue Hanzhang performed the same move for the fourth time with smooth, effortless ease.

However, when Yue Hanzhang ruthlessly delivered the killing blow, he seemed to linger much longer than when he killed the elderly man.

After gaining the upper hand, he did not directly destroy the inner spirit of evil, but instead chose to temporarily suppress it.

at the same time.

The destruction of the inner world by the six external avatars, and the impact of each clash of lightning and fire, also struck the critical points of the natural landscape.

Between heaven and earth, all things were collapsing. Consequently, the origin of the inner world was shaken. Amidst the surging, colorful light that propelled the collapse, the destroyed phenomena were reflected in Yue Hanzhang's gaze in the form of seal script, talisman arrays, and even a corner of the ancient Dragon Diagram Sutra.

Aside from the initial moment when Yue Hanzhang ruthlessly attacked the old man, in order to secure a safe first strike, he regretted not being able to fully seize the profound Daoist knowledge contained within the old man's origin in the Dao Jing World.

But later on...

Whether it was the demise of the Lei family patriarch or the demise of the talisman array master.

Yue Hanzhang used this delaying tactic, destroying the inner world to its extreme, until even the most basic framework was on the verge of collapse, before finally choosing to destroy the inner primordial spirit.

However, as long as Yue Hanzhang's destruction process is not like the slow and meticulous work of observing a flower, a leaf, a blade of grass, or a tree, his process of suppressing and killing the Inner Realm Dao Lord is merely the extreme extension of that single thought of time.

The fate of this fiend is still a matter of moments.

In this way, Yue Hanzhang obtained all the Daoist secrets of the Lei family patriarch and the master of the talisman array!

Back when he had previously turned the tables on the Fu family patriarch, Yue Hanzhang already knew that each of these Inner Realm Dao Lords was a walking goldmine of traffic data!
Each of them, based on the profound principles of the Ninefold Dragon Diagram Scripture of the past, has explored every possible path and field to its extreme over hundreds and thousands of years!

These data flows are not only entirely new and have never been recorded in the foundations of the various families within the Dao Alliance territory, but they also far surpass the Dragon Map Outer Realm in terms of quality and conception!
This is a breakthrough in both quantity and quality!

The Fu family patriarch alone enabled Yue Hanzhang to accumulate enough foundation for a major self-iteration and sublimation in a short period of time.

Now that so many huge mines have accumulated here, Yue Hanzhang naturally wouldn't want to waste them.

The promise made by Lin Laogui to observe the ceremony and explore the future was still a vague and unattainable promise for Yue Hanzhang.

but.

These massive data mines were undeniably right in front of Yue Hanzhang.

boom--

It passed in the blink of an eye.

The moment the collapse storm was born.

The moment Yue Hanzhang's ghostly figure appeared in the boundless sea of ​​stars.

The bridge between reality and illusion has been opened once again.

Yue Hanzhang's figure hadn't even fully solidified before he disappeared from the spot again.

Lin Laogui, who had just destroyed the life of yet another Inner Realm Dao Lord, was preparing to continue his killing spree when he saw the collapsing storm where Yue Hanzhang had been standing.

He immediately printed a copy.

Instantly, chains formed from blood-red light pierced through the collapsing storm from among the six blood-red banners. Then, guided by the supreme divine weapon, the collapsing storm merged with the six-in-one storm.

And just like that, without anyone noticing, Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui completed their respective tasks.

Faced with such abundant fruits of Taoist cultivation, they each seized the most delicious portion for each other.
