363: Chapter 88: Divine Embryo Takes Charge 363: Chapter 88: Divine Embryo Takes Charge Lu Yuzhen was a very strange person.
The existence of the Paperman Sect was in itself an utterly unreasonable matter.
In a mere decade, they rose to prominence, and in the chaotic Southern Border, they forcefully surpassed the deeply-rooted Three Great Sects.
Lord Lu didn’t even show his True Body, yet he pressured the leaders of the Three Great Sects to secretly join forces.
Such a person, how could he truly want for nothing?
Indeed, there are people in this world for whom money can’t buy happiness.
But if Lu Yuzhen’s arrangement in the Great Yue Kingdom didn’t harbor the slightest personal motive…
Xie Xuanyi wouldn’t believe it.
“You should be aware that before long, the Dachu Imperial Family will launch the Southern Border Demon Cleansing.”
Xie Xuanyi calmly said, “If the Taoist sects and the Sword Palace respond together, it won’t take long before the Paperman Sect is uprooted.”
“Yes.”
Lu Yuzhen smiled.
There was no denying that.
The history of the Paperman Sect was pitifully short.
Even though they thrived in the Southern Border, they were in no way comparable to a colossal entity like the Taoist sect.
“Don’t you care?”
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow.
Lu Yuzhen had been in hiding for many years, never revealing his abilities before the public.
Now, he had saved everyone in the Great Yue Kingdom and even deployed the “Cave Heaven Dharma Form” to confront the Peacock Venerable…
In truth, this was a losing deal.
This guy, when negotiating with the Peacock Venerable, didn’t seem like someone willing to suffer losses.
“In fact, I don’t care about the ‘Southern Border Demon Cleansing.’ I saved these people purely for your sake.”
Lu Yuzhen said indifferently, “I know that even if I tell the truth, you won’t believe me…
But it doesn’t matter, I don’t care whether you believe it or not.
Assume that I did this to gain some benefits; after this Northern Hunt ends, I will have gained some more chips in my hand.”
Xie Xuanyi suddenly remembered the three missing supervision ship examiners!
Prince Wanyang pursued them to the Great Yue Kingdom.
But now…
The entire Great Yue Kingdom had been searched, yet there was no sign of those three supervision ship examiners.
“You’ve detained Dachu’s ‘Yin God Examiners.'”
Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and slowly said, “Are you planning to use them as chips?”
“You overestimate them and underestimate me.”
Lu Yuzhen laughed, “After all these years, can’t you see?
Whoever sits in high positions within the Dachu dynasty is a ruthless person; without the courage to even sever ties, they would have been purged long ago…
To those big shots, three Yin Gods are merely somewhat significant…
Just with those three, they are far from enough to be a bargaining chip in the struggle for power.”
This statement provided Xie Xuanyi with quite a bit of information.
Firstly, one thing was certain.
The three supervision ship examiners were in Lu Yuzhen’s hands!
Just as Xie Xuanyi was about to speak.
“Buzz…”
A sudden tremor passed through the communicative token at Xie Xuanyi’s waist.
It turned out that the aftermath of the battle between the two Yang God Venerables had shattered Prince Wanyang’s seals on the nearby realms, and now divine soul transmissions were no longer restricted.
[“Young Master Xie, are you alright?
The situation is urgent, please be very cautious…”]
Xie Xuanyi took out the communicative token and glanced at it briefly.
The first message that caught his eye was from Yuan Yi.
The little girl recounted everything that had happened on the Cloud Ship in great detail.
The Northern Hunt had encountered an ambush of an extremely egregious nature, and the upper echelons of Dachu were investigating sternly…
All cultivators would undergo a cleansing of their divine souls with the Treasure Secret Technique to reconstruct the true events within Great Yue Kingdom’s Secret Realm.
Her tone was anxious, telling Xie Zhen not to return to Dachu lightly.
The losses of the human race during the Northern Hunt were tremendous…
After Wu Diexian took action, Xie Sheng, Fang Hang, and Qin Wanyang did not return to the Cloud Ship, and with their life tokens shattered, their deaths caused an uproar in Dachu.
The Jiangning Xie Family, Tai Shang House, Qin Family—each was a first-rate, major clan or power!
Upon hearing the rumors, Yuan Yi hastily sent the message to Xie Zhen.
She was worried that if Xie Zhen returned to Dachu, he would be caught completely off guard.
After seeing the message, a warm current passed over Xie Xuanyi’s heart.
He sighed softly.
This rescue at the North Sea Tomb had fostered good karma with Baihua Valley, and Miss Yuan Yi truly worried about him…
Constantly sending him messages now, she was probably inviting unnecessary trouble for herself.
“Miss Yuan, worry not.
I have a way to extricate myself.”
After sending this message, Lu Yuzhen teased, “That girl seems to be quite smitten with you.
Xie Xuanyi, you truly are a disaster.
In a past life, you brought calamity upon Jiang Miaoyin, and now you’re about to do the same to Yuan Yi.”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi said expressionlessly, “I won’t let her suffer any consequences.”
“Alright, alright, let’s say I was just joking.”
“This battle is crucial; you should pay attention and be cautious.”
Lord Lu said gently, “It’s quite rare for two Yang Gods to clash.
Today’s battle is only the beginning, thanks in part to the opening of the North Sea Tomb and the reversal of the world’s fortune.
The conflict between the Demon Country and the human race is also growing sharper…
This battle of the Yang God Venerables is likely just the start.
It won’t take long before there’s a second and third battle, and then it won’t be as mild as today’s contest.”
…
…
As the conversation went on, high in the distant heavens, the fight was intensifying.
Wu Diexian’s Yang God Golden Body towered nearly to the heavens, overshadowing the snow-capped mountains around him, with the clouds entwining around his waist.
The Peacock Venerable’s True Body Dharma was equally majestic, the Five-Colored Dao turned into ribbons, entangling Wu Diexian’s Yang God Golden Body inch by inch.
Both Yang Gods had their own schemes.
The Peacock Venerable was simply fulfilling an agreement.
Whereas Wu Diexian aimed to ensure the safe departure of the Dachu Cloud Ship from Li Lan Mountain.
His prime objective was to ensure that the talented individuals of the human race could return to the Northern Border Great Wall!
