Chapter 1357

"What?"

At first, when everyone heard Lu Yang speak, they thought they had misheard, for Lu Yang's tone was too calm, as if he were saying something unimportant.

Even Ying Tian Xian herself had not reacted yet, still maintaining her smile, as if her memory remained stuck in the time when she and Immortal Jiu Chong were joking with each other.

Ying Tian Xian looked at Lu Yang, her thoughts gathering, her smile gradually fading and disappearing, as if she had become another person.

He shook his head and sighed, not understanding Lu Yang's behavior: "Lu Xiaoyou, why must you expose my identity?"

"I wished to reconcile with you, why do you persistently pursue me without letting go?"

"Yao Sheng is dead, the great grudge is avenged, the world is at peace, the Cultivation Realm develops in order, all things proceed on the right path, you too have become an immortal, enjoying the world—is this not good?"

He seized Ying Tian Xian, using her identity to contact Lu Yang, the Immortal Maiden, Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi, Immortal Jiu Chong, and others, and began to reminisce about the beautiful times he spent with his close friend in ancient times; moreover, since the Immortal Maiden could not become omniscient and no one in the world could threaten his identity, he chose to lay down his murderous intent and enjoy this period of time using Ying Tian Xian's identity.

Precisely because he did not wish to entangle himself with Lu Yang and others, he released the false identity bait of Yao Sheng, endured a battle, deceived everyone, and thus the matter was dropped.

After the seal was lifted in the Cultivation Realm, he chose not to intervene again, also for this reason.

But he did not expect that Lu Yang would not appreciate his kindness, and under his gaze, still saw through his identity.

"What? He is the mastermind?!" Immortal Jiu Chong and others, upon hearing Ying Tian Xian personally confirm it, had their pupils contract sharply, their spirits greatly shaken, and they could not bring themselves to believe this from the bottom of their hearts.

But the facts lay before them; even if they did not believe, they had to believe.

The Qilin Immortal immediately reddened his eyes, murderous intent rose, killing intent unprecedentedly thick; he and Ying Tian Xian had the best relationship, and his three hundred thousand years of guilt all stemmed from the mastermind!

"Ying Tian..." including the Immortal Maiden, the Four Ancient Immortals had never been so angry before; he actually killed Ying Tian Xian, took her place, and had always interacted with them using Ying Tian Xian's identity!

The scene fell into dead silence, the atmosphere oppressive to the extreme; no one had the intention to act, only Lu Yang and the mastermind spoke freely, as if the surrounding people were no longer there.

"When did you begin to suspect me?" the mastermind asked; Lu Yang's challenge was truly too sudden, he had not anticipated it at all, nor had he noticed Lu Yang's abnormality beforehand.

"From the time I saw you at the Gui Laurel Immortal Palace, when we spoke of the final years of the Xin Fire Dynasty and the immortal seniors' demise during the Age of Ages, you yourself said that the one who sneak-attacked the Ages Immortal Senior was one of the other three."

"I am an honest person; I believe whatever others say; you said to make me suspect you, so I naturally would suspect you."

"Of course, not only you, I have suspected the Four Ancient Immortals as well, after all, the Ages Immortal Senior might possibly have been seized."

The mastermind narrowed his eyes, not expecting Lu Yang to have suspected him so early; he had thought that by proactively revealing this information, he could clear his suspicion, never imagining that Lu Yang would not fall for it, but instead suspect everyone.

When Lu Yang suspected that someone among the Four Ancient Immortals had been seized, and Li Haoran was a person of reincarnation, he realized Li Haoran's situation was extremely dangerous.

Therefore, after returning from the Gui Laurel Immortal Palace, Lu Yang tried to minimize his interactions with Li Haoran, pretending to be ordinary fellow disciples, and also no longer discussed Li Haoran's reincarnation; otherwise, Lu Yang would have long let Li Haoran seek out Ying Tian Xian to learn artifact refinement.

Even after figuring out that the Qilin Immortal was not the killer of the Ages Immortal Senior, with Li Haoran present, Lu Yang still did not dispel his suspicions toward the Four Ancient Immortals.

However, as to exactly which one the mastermind had seized, Lu Yang still could not reach a conclusion.

Only when Lu Yang gained some insight into the embryonic form of the Reincarnation Dao Fruit did he gradually confirm his suspicion.

People are in reincarnation, and so are things.

For those who are reincarnated, their experiences overlap to a certain extent with those of their past lives.

Li Haoran excels in artifact refinement, needless to say; the Immortal Maiden also once recounted a dark history of Ying Tian Xian, saying that when Ying Tian Xian was young, she easily gained the favor of beautiful female cultivators who were older and highly accomplished, and this could correspond to Li Haoran's experiences.

The mastermind did not understand the true meaning of reincarnation, merely simply believing that people of past lives and present lives have similarities, so he thus suspected Gu Junye.

"Of course, previously it was only suspicion; letting me confirm your identity was after the completion of the Dao Fruit of Retracing the Source."

"I used the Dao Fruit of Retracing the Source to clearly view the history of the final years of the Xin Fire Dynasty, and finally confirmed that Ying Tian Xian was indeed the one you seized!"

When Lu Yang paid respects to the Four Ancient Immortals one by one, he secretly used the Dao Fruit of Retracing the Source to examine their experiences during the final years of the Xin Fire Dynasty; the Ages Immortal, Immortal Jiu Chong, and the Qilin Immortal showed no abnormalities, only Ying Tian Xian!

He saw the mastermind seize Ying Tian Xian in the Underworld, Ying Tian Xian escaping with the embryonic form of the Reincarnation Dao Fruit, the mastermind polluting the power of faith, causing Huang Doudou to spare no effort in pursuing transcendence!

The Dao Fruit of Retracing the Source can view a person's past; this point Lu Yang had already tested during the Star Alliance era.

"Indeed, I did not expect the Dao Fruit of Retracing the Source to be this miraculous." the mastermind raised his brow, he mastered the Dao Fruit of the Timeline, disrupting that history, so no one could see clearly.

Unexpectedly, the Dao Fruit of Retracing the Source pointed directly to the origin, bypassing temporal interference, and revealed the truth of the matter.

The mastermind lost his voice in laughter, laughing at himself for being too arrogant, actually being led around in circles by a hairy-headed brat under his very eyelids without noticing that Lu Yang had been suspecting him all along.

Was it because after seizing Ying Tian Xian, the long, peaceful, relaxed environment made him let his guard down, or was it that he had become kind-hearted and soft-handed, unwilling to act?

The mastermind laughed with anger in his voice, space violently trembling: "It's merely that I found your experiences somewhat interesting, which is why I did not eliminate you, but instead ended up in this situation!"

"Lu Xiaoyou, have you decided how you wish to die?"

Everyone felt the powerful aura surging within the mastermind's body, their expressions drastically changing; this aura was even stronger than Yao Sheng's.

Consistent with Lu Yang's speculation, the mastermind had never displayed his true power.

Or rather, anyone who had seen his true power was already dead!

Lu Yang no longer spoke, splashing the peach juice in his cup onto the mastermind's face, provoking the mastermind to become even more enraged.

Everyone had the intention to act, but this is the Questioning Dao Sect, it is the Cultivation Realm; once they clashed, the entire Cultivation Realm would be utterly destroyed!

The mastermind's power had no such scruples; today he wished to open wide the gates of slaughter, not only to kill Lu Yang, but everyone present, none could escape!

"Displacement." Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi softly uttered two words.

Only seen, the scenery shifted, the Tianmen Peak beneath their feet vanished, around them only endless starry sky and boundless darkness!

The Cultivation Realm disappeared from sight; they had arrived in the universe!

"Wu Yao's Displacement Technique!" the mastermind instantly reacted; Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi had no Dao Fruit, this was the secret technique Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi learned from Wu Yao after he entered the Prison Peak.

Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi enjoys learning; this action did not raise his guard; originally, he intended to use it here!

"Have I been displaced to the outside world? No, if that were the case, I could not possibly feel nothing," the mastermind muttered to himself.

"In that case, it is displacing the Cultivation Realm to another place—what a fine method!"
