Chapter 317: Jiang Shang?

Others also knelt down and thanked Qin Yang.

They clearly understood that without Qin Yang, Mao Mountain would have been destroyed today.

Thinking back to their previous hostility toward Qin Yang and Baiyun Guan, everyone felt ashamed.

Qin Yang smiled faintly, used his magic power to lift everyone up, then said: "You don't need to do this; I am also an enemy of the Holy Light Court. This time I acted to increase my strength, so don't take it to heart."

Jiang Ming and the others, however, did not think that way.

Qin Yang had essentially saved all of Mao Mountain.

If they truly followed Qin Yang's advice and didn't take it to heart, would they still be human?

"Great kindness and virtue, Mao Mountain will never forget."

Jiang Ming said solemnly.

Afterwards, he led the crowd in bidding farewell to Qin Yang, then left.

Watching their departing backs, Qin Yang didn't think too much about it.

He returned to the island, and only when Chi You came back did he finally relax a little.

"Senior, have you ever captured that God Lord?"

Qin Yang asked.

Chi You shook his head, his expression showing some resentment.

"No, that kid ran very fast; he's definitely an old hand at escaping."

"Senior, have you ever recognized his identity?"

Qin Yang continued to ask.

He was still quite curious about the God Lord's identity.

Qin Yang really wanted to know who the God Lord actually was.

"I don't know, but he probably isn't from our era; otherwise I'd have some impression. He must be a powerful figure from later generations, someone with such a strange fate that I would have remembered."

Chi You shook his head.

Hearing Chi You mention fate, Qin Yang's heart stirred.

If speaking of someone who is very famous in myths but cannot become an immortal, he indeed knows of such a person.

But the God Lord probably couldn't be that person, right?

Judging by his behavior or other aspects, things don't quite match.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party was stimulated, causing a drastic personality change, or the mythological legends are mistaken.

"Have you thought of something?"

Chi You asked.

Seeing Qin Yang's thoughtful expression, he felt Qin Yang might have already guessed the God Lord's identity.

"I've thought of someone."

Qin Yang said.

But he lacked confidence, feeling it couldn't be that person.

"Who?"

Chi You looked curious.

"Jiang Ziya of the Fengshen era, Jiang Shang."

Qin Yang spoke out a name.

Wu Qiao's heart stirred, and she immediately said: "Yuanshi Tianzun once said that Jiang Shang cannot become an immortal, only enjoying worldly wealth and honor. If the God Lord is Jiang Shang, this makes sense. As one of the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun's words are naturally trustworthy. If Jiang Shang himself could have become an immortal, but a single sentence changed his fate, it's not impossible."

And Jiang Shang also, because of this, felt stifled in his heart, suppressed for so many years, then began to plot, becoming the Divine Lord, wanting to Nìtiān become an immortal, which was not necessarily impossible.

"If it's that person, then it's somewhat interesting."

Chi You laughed and said.

He seemed thoughtful.

"Perhaps we could win him over to deal with those people in heaven."

"Forget it, I don't want to cooperate with a pervert."

Forget it, I don't want to cooperate with a pervert.

Chi You grinned and retorted: "I'm a demon; compared to demons, he's not even a pervert."

Chiyou grinned and retorted, "I am a demon; compared to demons, a pervert like him also won't do."

After interacting with Chi You for so long, how could he not know what kind of person Chi You is?

"Forget it, let's not talk about that guy. You've just broken through and now possess True Immortal-level strength. After a while, when the time is ripe, help me retrieve something."

Forget it, no more talk about that guy; this breakthrough of yours already gives you true immortal-level combat power. After a while, when the time is ripe, help me retrieve something.

"What thing?"

"My head."

Chi You's tone was somewhat grim.

Qin Yang then recalled that Chi You's corpse had been cut into five pieces by the Yellow Emperor and buried in different places.

"I can sense where my head is, but there are forces there targeting me, so I can't approach. Your strength is still a bit lacking; when you advance further, then help me."

I can feel the position of my head, but there is a force targeting me there, so I cannot approach; your current strength is still a bit lacking, wait until you reach a higher level, then act to help me.

He made demands of Qin Yang without any courtesy.

In his view, the two of them were grasshoppers on the same rope.

The appearance of someone like Qin Yang in the world surely has a reason.

There must be a reason for someone like Qin Yang to appear in the world.

On Qin Yang's body, he saw some karma lines.

"Help me gather my body, and I'll help you deal with those who scheme against you. I've seen many people's methods on you; they will come after you later. As long as I regain my strength, in these three realms, no one can easily scheme against you."

Chiyou said arrogantly.

"No problem."

Qin Yang readily agreed.

The two already had a good relationship, and this also benefited Qin Yang himself, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Senior, can you feel where the other four parts are?"

Qin Yang asked.

He planned to find them all directly, so Chiyou's strength could fully recover.

"It's not that simple. At most two parts are in the mundane world; the remaining three are definitely in the Earth Immortal Realm."

Chiyou's gaze was deep, as if he could see through everything across endless void.

Qin Yang's heart jolted.

He nodded.

"Don't worry; as long as we find my two bodies, entering the Earth Immortal Realm will give us the power to protect ourselves."

Chiyou comforted Qin Yang.

He still thought Qin Yang was worried.

Who knew Qin Yang just gave a slight smile and said, "Senior, rest assured; once I reach the Earth Immortal Realm, I'll certainly have some strength. After I cultivate to the seventh or even eighth layer of the Mysterious Skill, I'll go to the Earth Immortal Realm."

"What layer are you at now?"

"The third layer."

Qin Yang said.

Chiyou sucked in a breath of cold air.

"I feel your cultivation resembles the Nine Turn Mysterious Skill, yet there are differences; you should really ask your master about his origins."

Chiyou said in a low voice.

"Your master's origins?"

Qin Yang pondered.

"Could it be that my master truly has some tremendous background?"

"That possibility is not nonexistent."

Thinking this, he nodded and said, "When I meet my master later, I'll ask, but I believe my master won't harm me."

Chiyou snorted slightly.

"Belief is useless."

"If there's truly betrayal, feelings are useless."

"Moreover, Baiyun may not have been willing; perhaps he was compelled, controlled by someone."

"The one who set the trap is very clever; his strength might not be weaker than his peak by even a bit."

After chatting a while, Qin Yang took his leave.

He had just broken through; he needed to return to cultivate and consolidate his current realm.

At that time in the West, the God Lord arrived at the Bright Holy Court.

He was covered in wounds, quite miserable, almost dying.

Seeing the God Lord's appearance, the Bright Holy Emperor suddenly felt balanced.

He originally thought this guy escaped so quickly that nothing would happen.

He didn't expect him to be so miserable.

Since then, the Bright Holy Emperor's heart felt much more balanced.

The God Lord gritted his teeth, stared at the Bright Holy Emperor, and coldly said, "From now on we don't need to cooperate; you don't need to look for me."

"What?"

The Bright Holy Emperor blinked in surprise.

Obviously he hadn't expected the God Lord to actually plan to go their separate ways.

He narrowed his eyes, gazing at the God Lord's eyes, full of danger.

The God Lord coldly snorted, his expression somewhat disdainful.

"I know you have tricks here, but you definitely can't kill me; do you believe it or not?"

The Bright Holy Emperor hesitated a moment, but ultimately did not act.

Only then did the God Lord coldly snort, turn, and leave.

Watching the God Lord's retreating back, the Bright Holy Emperor's eyes flashed with killing intent.

"It seems we should activate that plan; then we can forcefully break into Long Guo."

The Bright Holy Emperor muttered to himself.
