Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1253 Execution with reprieve

Jiangnan, Jianmen Pass reaches the highest cliffs.

Lu Yang's voice boomed, and wherever it passed, all things seemed to resound, as if the entire world was speaking for him, and nothing could stop his words.

Suddenly, thunder and lightning roared.

Before the cliff, the Great Sword Sect leader sat cross-legged, with a small table in front of him. On each side of the table was a teacup, the tea in the cups smooth as a mirror.

"Boom!"

The thunder roared through the clouds, a flash of lightning illuminated the sky and the earth turned white. Only after the light faded did a figure appear on the other side of the table. He was dressed in green, with a handsome face, yet he inexplicably carried an ethereal air. He picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, the Great Sword Sect member shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, are you going to help in the battle?"

"Don't go."

Ling Xiao shook his head: "Since that person hasn't summoned me yet, it means it's not time for me to be born. In that case, I won't join in the fun."

Upon hearing this, the Great Sword Sect member frowned deeply.

"too early."

"He has already occupied Jiangxi and overseas. His best target should not be Jiangbei, but Jiangdong. Why doesn't he head there?"

Of the four Immortal Pivot families today, only Di Cang of the Jiangdong Dao Court remains a Great True Monarch of the Immortal Bridge Realm. Although he has three transformations, all three of them possess the cultivation of the Immortal Bridge Realm, they are still easily defeated by those in the Sky-Stepping Realm. Even with the support of the Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws, it is difficult to bridge the gap.

"Could it be that they are afraid of me?"

The Great Sword Sect was completely baffled: "I had already made my intentions clear when we were in your cave, and he should have been able to see that I had no intention of interfering."

"Fellow Daoist, you're thinking too little."

Ling Xiao chuckled upon hearing this and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it must be a problem with the heavens. My fellow cultivator was forced to accept the challenge."

"Why?" the Great Sword Sect asked in return.

"As you yourself said, his best strategy now is to take over Jiangdong, but he is not doing so. As the saying goes, there must be something fishy about things that are not normal. In this world, only you and the Heavenly Emperor can pose a threat to him. Since you have not made a move, it can only be the Heavenly Emperor who has made a move."

Ling Xiao spoke as if it were perfectly reasonable.

His tone was clearly one of "Your logic is so clear, how could you not understand it, fellow Daoist?" which made the Great Sword Sect's eyes twitch slightly, and he couldn't help but rub his temples.

"As expected of a demon."

"Just the basic qualities of a Holy Sect disciple." Ling Xiao smiled and put down his teacup. "But since things have come to this, fellow Daoist, would you like to have a fight with one of my fellow Daoists?"

"Not interested in."

The Great Sword Sect Master shook his head: "I have never been fond of fighting. Besides, I need to suppress you, fellow Daoist. You have tied me up, so I really don't have the time or energy for that."

"really?"

Ling Xiao's expression was strange: "Fellow Daoist, you didn't seem to have put in much effort before."

Upon hearing this, the Great Sword Sect member remained unfazed and said calmly, "How can that be the same? You were seriously injured before, but now that you've recovered, you're naturally more difficult to deal with."

"Hahaha."

Ling Xiao laughed loudly upon hearing this: "You call me a demon? You're no better yourself, you sword seed."

"Boom!"

In Jiangbei, a fierce wind howled, torrential rain poured down, and dark clouds covered the sun and moon, while blazing lightning roared and shook within the clouds.

Beneath the clouds, where lightning converged, Lü Yang stood tall, silently calculating: 'By using Uncle Chongguang's matter to force me to leave Jiangxi, to leave the very foundation of the Conferred God Technique, my combat power will be reduced by thirty percent, while it can unleash its full power.'

Something definitely didn't seem right.

Given the wisdom the Heavenly Emperor has previously displayed, it seems unlikely he possesses the ability to orchestrate such a complex scheme. Clearly, there must be another mastermind behind it all. 'World Honored One.'

Lu Yang looked around and saw three figures walking out from the direction of Jiangdong. The lightning struck down and forcibly fused them into a single form.

Emperor Cang!

This traitor, who was the most treacherous of the three foundations, has now received the blessing of the Heavenly Emperor. His original Immortal Bridge Realm level has been broken through, and he has reached the Heavenly Stepping Realm!
"Hahaha!"

"Finally, it's done!"

At this moment, Di Cang was extremely proud, feeling that his decision to side with the Heavenly Duke at this time was absolutely brilliant. The Heavenly Duke not only helped him break through to the Heavenly Realm, but also promised that as long as he killed the person who defied the heavens in front of him, he would become the Lord of the Immortal Pivot in the future!

Of course, someone as intelligent as him wouldn't easily believe in fate.

So he asked for the benefits in advance.

"Come!"

Di Cang clapped his hands together, and endless light instantly gathered in his palms, transforming into countless circles of light that interlocked and finally condensed into a ball of light.

【The Daoist Laws of the Immortal Kingdom】!
The foundation of the Dao Court, the Great Dao he proved in the void, suddenly crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, spreading all the way from Jiangdong to cover the land of Jiangbei!
During this process, the many emotions in Di Cang's eyes faded rapidly. He looked down at Lü Yang indifferently, and the Immortal Kingdom Dao Law in his hand slowly turned, producing dense talisman characters that rolled across the sky. In a daze, Lü Yang seemed to see the scene of heaven and earth and all things.

Sun and moon, mountains and rivers, stars, and all living beings.

The myriad phenomena of heaven and earth were interpreted by the densely packed talismanic characters, which then invoked their imagery to directly lock onto the figure of Lü Yang below.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, everything was destroyed.

The blazing white light resembled a collapsing celestial realm, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to go berserk, shattering the void, and transforming the pure image of destruction into a beam of mysterious light.

Wherever the mysterious light passed, the world became dark and gloomy.

All colors were erased out of thin air, leaving only the purest darkness to fill the surroundings, which immediately caused the True Lords who were still observing in the dark to retreat.

Such power is so great that even a Great True Lord would have to be cautious and dare not approach it. If an ordinary True Lord were to encounter it, he would surely be seriously injured if he were to be grazed, or die if he were to be touched.

However, before the dim, mysterious light could spread further, a faint ray of light, like a spark, lit up the darkness. It then quickly spread like wildfire, rapidly expanding and easily tearing through the darkness. Like the rising sun, it illuminated the world that had been swallowed by darkness once more.

Above the sky, Lü Yang's figure appeared.

His figure was like the clearest boundary line, cutting the heavens and earth apart, turning them into two sides of a mirror, one side being the vast and mighty Daoist laws of the immortal realm.

On the other hand, everything was calm and peaceful.

Immediately afterwards, twelve colors emerged in succession from the dark sky in the distance, their light of status shining brightly, causing Di Cang's eyes to twitch.

"Heaven is on my side!"

Before Di Cang finished speaking, the lightning symbolizing the Heavenly Emperor struck again, triggering the full force of the Dao Laws of the Immortal Kingdom and even revealing layers of illusions.

At this moment, with the blessing of the heavens, Di Cang's status even surpassed that of the previous first Dan Ding Peak Master. Around him, there were flowers, birds, fish, insects, dragons and snakes rising from the land, the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas. With the law as the anchor, he recreated the universe, intending to keep the light of the fruit position outside.

However, the light of the fruition remained unmoved.

The sunlight broke through the clouds, erasing all talismans and inscriptions, overshadowing the mysteries of the celestial realm's laws, and finally revealing a bright decree hanging high in the sky:

[Imperial edict: Jiangdong Zhenjun Cang, to be executed with reprieve.]

A handsome young man in a black robe fluttered in the wind, while the [Heavenly Fire] hung high in the sky, controlling the transformation of water and fire, and crashed down with a thunderous roar:

"A usurper, a false emperor, whose rule is eclipsed by the sun and moon, dares to establish laws and enforce punishments?"

"Get out!"
