Turning Their Scheme Against Them! (4K)

"I never imagined that after ten million years, Young Friend Lu's Dao cultivation would surpass mine. This is my master, Daoist Mo Ping. Our Celestial Heavenly Master Sect wishes to stay temporarily in the Taihua Sacred Ground to avoid the Calamity. We will not stay for nothing; we will help maintain the Mountain-Guarding Formation. We humbly request that Young Friend Lu take us Heavenly Master Sect."

Upon seeing Lu Changsheng's arrival, True Lord Qingxu personally requested that the Taihua Sacred Ground accept his disciples.

"Now that a great Calamity has befallen the Three Realms, all our Holy Lands and Sects should stand together in solidarity. Your Heavenly Master Sect may stay here. However, to prevent people from the Demon Realm from infiltrating among the Heavenly Master Sect's disciples, please conduct thorough investigations."

Lu Changsheng readily agreed, but on the condition that the Heavenly Master Sect guarantee that Heavenly Master Sect disciples would not be controlled by people from the Demon Realm.

"Please rest assured, Young Friend Lu, our Heavenly Master Sect's founder created a Secret Method called the 'Truth-Listening Technique,' which can distinguish between evil and wickedness. I can tell if Demon from the Demon Realm has taken control of a disciple."

"Oh? There's such a Secret Art?"

Lu Changsheng was deeply surprised.

The founder of the Yellow Dragon Mountain Heavenly Master Sect was also a great figure who created many Divine Ability and left behind the "Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting," a Sect-Guarding Treasure.

With True Lord Qingxu and Daoist Mo Ping in charge, the Demon Realm's attempt to break through the Mountain-Guarding Formation by controlling inside agents will be ineffective.

"Isn't this Daoist Mo Ping? What brings him here?"

An old man appeared out of nowhere, carrying seven Long Swords on his back. He recognized Daoist Mo Ping of the Heavenly Master Sect.

"Shi Niandao?"

Daoist Mo Ping also recognized Shi Niandao.

Lin Xuanshuang remarked from the side, "So the two of you are old acquaintances."

Daoist Mo Ping replied, "Back when my master and I went out to train, we encountered the Demon Venerable. We got separated in the chaos of battle and then met a Demon General. It was only by joining forces with Shi Niandao that we were able to escape danger."

"I see."

Lin Xuanshuang, Lu Changsheng, and the others quickly understood what had happened.

Since Shi Niandao and Daoist Mo Ping once fought side by side, things will be much easier.

Shi Niandao glanced at the people from the Heavenly Master Sect: "Is your master well? Why didn't he come?"

Daoist Mo Ping shook his head. "My master lost a bet to someone and lost the 'Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting' left by our ancestor. Feeling guilty towards our ancestor, he handed over the position of Sect Master to me and then went on a journey across the world. Alas, if my master were still on Yellow Dragon Mountain, how could the few people of the Evil Extremity Sect have allowed our Heavenly Master Sect to flee the Sects?"

Shi Niandao stroked his beard. "Indeed, with your master's strength, unless two Demon Venerable come, they will have a hard time dealing with him. Your Heavenly Master Sect should stay here in peace."

Thank you.

Daoist Mo Ping was quite polite to Shi Niandao.

The two are probably evenly matched.

Just as the two sides were exchanging pleasantries, a disciple of the Taihua Sacred Ground flew back on his Flying Sword: "Oh no, something terrible has happened! Our group was ambushed by the Demon Venerable on the way, and our ancestor, seriously injured, sent me back for help!"

"What?!"

The disciples at the mountain gate, including Shi Niandao, Lin Xuanshuang, and Lin Qinghan, were all greatly shocked.

The Household Ancestor Lin, the Jiang Clan Ancestor, and Lin Xuantong led a team to follow the Profound Maiden Palace to relieve the siege of the Leize Holy Land. Now, they have been ambushed by the Demon Venerable on the way and have no choice but to send their disciples back for help. They are likely in grave danger.

"Elder Sister, junior brother, and Senior Shi, we must hurry and save Father and the others, otherwise..."

Lin Qinghan was most worried about Lin Xuantong's safety. Upon hearing that her father was in danger, she immediately urged everyone to go and rescue Lin Xuantong.

The blood-soaked disciples of the Taihua Sacred Ground urged, "Everyone is in imminent danger! We beg Your Sacred Lord and Deputy Sacred Lord to make a swift decision and go to save them, or the consequences will be unimaginable, and I cannot live alone!"

"Let's set off immediately."

Shi Niandao's volatile temper flared up, and he glared and bristled.

The Taihua Sacred Ground currently has six powerful figures, enough to spare three of them to rescue Lin Xuantong and the others.

When Lu Changsheng heard that the Household Ancestor Lin, the Jiang Clan Ancestor, and Lin Xuantong were in danger, his first thought was to find a way to rescue them.

"Wait a minute."

The voice of True Lord Qingxu suddenly rang in Lu Changsheng's mind.

Lu Changsheng looked at True Lord Qingxu with a puzzled expression.

True Lord Qingxu was merely a guest. Logically speaking, since this matter concerned the life and death of the higher-ups of the Taihua Sacred Ground, it was inappropriate for True Lord Qingxu to express his opinion or even to obstruct the process.

But it was strange that True Lord Qingxu suddenly spoke up to stop him.

Not only True Lord Qingxu, Daoist Mo Ping's expression was unnatural.

Could it be...?

Lu Changsheng made a deduction.

"According to our Heavenly Master Sect's 'Truth-Listening Technique,' this disciple of your Taihua Sacred Ground has been controlled by a powerful figure from the Demon Realm, so this is a trap."

As the eleventh generation Sect Master of the Heavenly Master Sect, True Lord Qingxu possessed the Divine Ability passed down from the Heavenly Master Sect's founder and saw through the true nature of this disciple from the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Since even True Lord Qingxu discovered it, Daoist Mo Ping, who taught True Lord Qingxu the "Truth-Listening Technique," must have discovered it even earlier.

Neither of them immediately revealed it, but instead secretly informed Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng then secretly transmitted his voice to Lin Xuanshuang, Lin Qinghan, Shi Niandao, and the others. "When you hear what I say, make sure your expression doesn't change."

Lu Changsheng relayed True Lord Qingxu's judgment to everyone. On the surface, everyone remained calm, but inwardly, they were in turmoil.

This was actually a trap!

"The Demon Realm is ruthless. Not only did they secretly cultivate spies within their ranks, but they also tried to lure us out. If it weren't for the Heavenly Master Sect's unique Divine Abilities to see through their scheme, we would have truly fallen into their trap."

Lin Xuanshuang felt a chill run down her spine.

The Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm are truly too insidious. There is no Secret Method to see through Demon Venerable methods. Lin Qinghan and Lin Xuanshuang are so eager to save their father that they will most likely fall into their trap.

Lin Xuanshuang secretly transmitted her voice to Lu Changsheng: "So what do you plan to do?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes were deep. "We can turn the tables on them."

"Isn't this too dangerous?"

Having traveled extensively for many years, Lin Xuanshuang instantly understood Lu Changsheng's meaning.

However, this plan is too dangerous.

"If we mislead the other side, then there's no real danger. If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll continue to set traps. This time, we relied on the Heavenly Master Sect's Divine Abilities to discover it in advance. If we don't take advantage of it, we won't have another chance."

Lu Changsheng didn't want to let this rare opportunity slip by easily.

"Changsheng Sheng is right. Back in the day, when my great-grandfather and master were alive, they even dared to confront the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable head-on. Now, they've been bullied at our mountain gate. If we don't respond, they'll really look down on us."

Shi Niandao was also a proponent of war.

He was a disciple of Ye Jiangjin, a Ye Jiangjin Personal Disciple Taihua Sword Maiden, and had participated in the Second High Antiquity War, thus possessing a natural air of arrogance.

It would be rather stifling to just stay cooped up in the Taihua Divine Mountain like this.

"I still need to consult Senior Lin's opinion."

Lu Changsheng secretly relayed the details of what happened to Lin Shiyu.

Lin Shiyu is currently the strongest person in the Taihua Sacred Ground, and also the person with the highest seniority.

"Now that you have ascended to the position of Sacred Lord, proceed according to your plan. I will fully cooperate. Our Taihua Sacred Ground has indeed kept a low profile for far too long since my sister left."

To Lu Changsheng's surprise, Lin Shiyu fully agreed with Lu Changsheng plan.

The return of two Personal Disciples, Chu Wu and Qiao Wei, along with the arrival of Daoist Mo Ping from Yellow Dragon Mountain to join them, has brought the power of the Taihua Sacred Ground to an unprecedented level.

Lin Shiyu was not one to swallow her anger.

Since they've come to our doorstep, if we don't retaliate, we risk being looked down upon by the world.

With Lin Shiyu backing him up, Lu Changsheng felt more confident.

"We must hurry and rescue them, or they'll be in grave danger."

The disciples of the Taihua Sacred Ground urged them repeatedly.

"Let's not delay, let's go."

Lu Changsheng, along with Shi Niandao, Lin Xuanshuang, Lin Qinghan, and his disciples, formed a team to help Lin Xuantong and the others out of their predicament.

In addition, Lu Changsheng also invited Zhu Xinguang genius from the Holy Land 150 million years ago, to join him in the operation.

Daoist Mo Ping, True Lord Qingxu, and other experts from the Heavenly Master Sect were left behind by Lu Changsheng.

Shen Xiaoyao was also among those who stayed behind.

"The Demon Venerable of our Taihua Sacred Ground is probably unaware that the Heavenly Master Sect has come to seek refuge. Once we've personally entered the fray, you can break the siege from the outside."

Before setting off, Lu Changsheng gave instructions to Shen Xiaoyao.

"Lian, after we leave, go to the Guanghan Holy Land and find your Master's Wife."

Lu Changsheng had prepared a backup plan.

"Good."

Lu Qinglian agreed.

"Let's go."

Lu Changsheng personally led the team away from the Taihua Sacred Ground.

"To take the initiative and get involved yourself is indeed commendable," Daoist Mo Ping said with admiration. "Our Heavenly Master Sect intends to remain in the Taihua Sacred Ground for a long time, so we'll have to put in some effort this time."

"Yes..."

True Lord Qingxu also knew that Lu Changsheng had sent Shen Xiaoyao to help their Heavenly Master Sect once, and their Heavenly Master Sect also wanted to lend a hand.

Among Lu Changsheng's team, the Taihua Sacred Ground disciple who had returned to seek help revealed a wicked smile upon seeing that his plan had succeeded.

Lu Changsheng was far too arrogant, as he only brought two powerful figures, Shi Niandao and Zhu Xinguang, while the strongest, Lin Shiyu, and her two Personal Disciples did not participate, but instead stayed behind to guard the Holy Land.

The scene that this disciple of the Taihua Sacred Ground saw was projected into the distance.

A group of powerful Demon Realm witnessed the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable secretly spying on them using his Demon Realm Divine Ability, and they all sneered.

They've fallen for their trap.

"Once they leave the Holy Land, without the Mountain-Guarding Formation left behind by the Taihua Sword Maiden, they will be no match for us."

"Hehe, this time we have help from the Cold Bone Demon Venerable. With just those two powerful figures, even without the Cold Bone Demon Venerable's help, our Demon Venerable Lord's strength alone is enough to wipe them out."

"After we kill these two powerful Holy Land, we will return to the Taihua Sacred Ground."

"We must get our hands on Liu Yue'er, Lin Xuanshuang, and Lin Qinghan, mother and daughter."

"Hehe, of course the Demon Venerable Lord should enjoy them first."

A group of powerful Demon Realm, all smiles, fawned over the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable, believing they were certain of victory this time.

The Absolute Yin Demon Venerable possesses combat power comparable to Lin Shiyu; even if Shi Niandao and Zhu Xinguang joined forces, they might not be an Absolute Yin Demon Venerable for him.

Moreover, the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable also has two powerful subordinates.

Lin Beichen, sent by the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable, left, and in his place, the Cold Bone Demon Venerable sent helpers.

If it were just Lu Changsheng leading Shi Niandao and Zhu Xinguang, two powerful figures, then the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable and his group would be enough to deal with them.

Many of the Demons sent by the Cold Bone Demon Venerable glared fiercely at Lu Changsheng and his group in the spatial projection. Their hatred for Lu Changsheng was even greater than that for the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable.

"The High Antiquity Han Clan is finally about to be avenged, and the spirits of our Han Clan in heaven can finally find solace."

A man with long black hair stared intently at Lu Changsheng with boundless hatred, wishing he could tear him apart.

"Han Shaolin, you've endured so much hardship to achieve what you have today. Your goal is to take revenge on Lu Changsheng, isn't it? He'll be yours to deal with in a moment." Another henchman sent by the Cold Bone Demon Venerable crossed his arms, also staring at Lu Changsheng and his group in the Spacetime Projection. However, his primary target wasn't Lu Changsheng, but rather Lu Changsheng's Eldest Disciple Lin Qingzhi. "He's been staying in the Taihua Sacred Ground for years, and I haven't had a chance to take revenge on him. Heh heh, now he's finally out. Junior Brother Lu, this time you'll have nowhere to escape."

Han Shaolin said coldly, "Don't worry, I will kill him. No, I will capture him alive and make him suffer unbearable torment, wishing he were dead."

"Now that you two have chosen your targets, I will deal with Shi Niandao and Zhu Xinguang. Devil Lord Kunwu, what about you?"

The Absolute Yin Demon Venerable glanced out of the Yu Guang of his eye at a Devil Lord was standing by with his hands in his pockets.

Han Shaolin and Xiao Xiangdao brought disciples from the Blood Sea Hall, but the strongest helper sent by the Cold Bone Demon Venerable was not these two people who had a grudge against Lu Changsheng and his disciples, but a bald old man carrying a demonic Demon Blade with a fiery red color on his back.

Devil Lord Kunwu, one of the Seven Blade Saints of the Demon Realm, possesses immense strength.

Although Devil Lord Kunwu has not yet been crowned Demon Venerable, it does not mean that his strength is weaker than that of Absolute Yin Demon Venerable.

The Cold Bone Demon Venerable and the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable are among the strongest Demon Venerable in the Demon Realm. Under their command are many powerful figures like the Devil Lord Kunwu Demon Venerable, whose strength is close to or even surpasses that of ordinary Demon Venerable Demon Realm.

Even the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable was very wary of the Devil Lord Kunwu, and they discussed it in an equal tone.

"Since you can handle them, I won't interfere. Lord Cold Bone Demon Venerable Lord sent me here to ensure that Lu Changsheng, this variable, is eliminated. As long as I see him killed with my own eyes, I can go back and report."

The Devil Lord Kunwu spoke coldly, showing no concern whatsoever.

He had no reason to kill Lu Changsheng himself; all he cared about was completing the task assigned by the Cold Bone Demon Venerable and receiving his reward.

The Cold Bone Demon Venerable is Pill Saint in the Demon Realm. Even the Devil Lord Kunwu is envious of the Divine Pills he refines.

"Then leave it to me. The Taihua Sacred Ground killed two of my trusted men; I must personally avenge them."

The Absolute Yin Demon Venerable's eyes were filled with intense killing intent.

He set up a deadly trap precisely for revenge.

The loss of two powerful Demon Realm in the Taihua Sacred Ground has diminished the reputation of the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable.

The Absolute Yin Demon Venerable must get his revenge.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng and his group fell into the trap and were about to enter the place where the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable and his men were lying in ambush.

"Lu Changsheng, you just wait, I'll surprise you with my strength."

Before Lu Changsheng arrived, Han Shaolin adjusted his aura to its optimal state, unleashing a terrifying Devil Qi that even drew the attention of powerful figures from the Demon Realm, such as the Demon Lord of Absolute Yin Demon Venerable.

"So this guy inherited the legacy of a High Antiquity Demon Venerable; no wonder his strength has increased so rapidly," the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable sneered. "This is going to be good."

I've been busy these past two days, so I'll ask for two more days off.
