A Change of Plans, Return to Purple Moon Mountain
Inside the makeshift cave abode, Yang Tianyou sat cross-legged, his brows slightly furrowed.
By reading Dao Disciple Yesang's memories, he discovered a lot of information that he had not previously known.
For example, the identity of the Demon Puppet Venerable.
What the outside world doesn't know is that this guy is actually the Blood-Slaying Dao Master's biological son. Although the Blood-Slaying Dao Master doesn't seem to care much about this son, his identity changes many things.
Yang Tianyou's original plan was to use Dao Disciple Yesang to frame the Demon Puppet Venerable.
As his lifespan nears its end, the Demon Puppet Venerable's personality becomes increasingly erratic, and he undoubtedly desires to break through to the Sage Manifestation Realm as soon as possible to prolong his lifespan.
His Devil Cultivation Method works by refining the most talented individuals, whose innate abilities are better, thus increasing the probability of him breaking through to the Sage Manifestation.
Originally, the Demon Puppet Venerable was allowed to go out hunting, but Wuhuang made a move last time, killing most of his Demon Puppets. She also used Secret Method to lock onto the Demon Puppet Venerable's location, so whenever he appears, he will be hunted down by Wuhuang.
In this situation, the Demon Puppet Venerable seems to have few options left, and refining the genius of the Blood-Slaying Dao Main Sect is one of them.
The Demon Dao is not the Immortal Dao. Although infighting is also forbidden, the punishment is not as severe.
With the Demon Puppet Venerable's strength, it wouldn't be a big deal if he occasionally refined one or two Demon Dao geniuses.
In fact, that's exactly what he did.
However, there are differences even among geniuses. As one of the Three Dao Disciples and a disciple of the Demon Venerable Yelan, Nightfall Dao Disciple Yesang's status is naturally higher.
If the Demon Puppet Venerable were to attack him...
In his rage, the Demon Venerable Yelan might very well kill him. After all, the Demon Puppet Venerable's lifespan is running out, and with Wuhuang blocking the way from the outside, his value to the Blood-Slaying Dao has been greatly reduced. Killing him wouldn't be a big deal.
However, Yang Tianyou never expected that the Demon Puppet Venerable was actually the son of the Blood-Slaying Dao Master.
What was even more unexpected was that Dao Disciple Yesang, who seemed to Feng Ba and of high status, was highly regarded by Demon Venerable Yelan.
But in reality... it's not that great.
The Demon Venerable Yelan didn't actually value this disciple much. He was a self-centered person with extremely indifferent emotions. Even when he took on a disciple, it was because he was interested in Dao Disciple Yesang's Night Pupils, which could provide him with inspiration for creating Pupil Technique- type Divine Abilities.
The trump card he left for Dao Disciple Yesang was just something he casually arranged, and it didn't even reach the Sage Manifestation.
As for the rumors circulating that the Demon Venerable Yelan was going to marry his daughter to Dao Disciple Yesang, those are completely unfounded.
It was all a lie fabricated by the latter himself, in order to elevate his own status.
Anyway, that woman, like her father, only had the Demon Dao and cultivation in her heart, and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the gossip from the outside world, so naturally she wouldn't expose him.
Yang Tianyou, having read through these memories, was speechless.
No wonder everything went so smoothly; a dignified Blood Slaughter Daoist disciple was captured by me without any power to resist.
This was certainly due to Yang Tianyou's thorough preparation, but Dao Disciple Yesang's own Wisdom deficiencies were also a major factor.
He trusted the Cloud-Swallowing Walker too much and was almost completely unprepared. With such cunning, he had managed to survive in the Blood-Slaying Dao for so long without being killed; one could only say he was incredibly lucky.
No wonder that among the Three Dao Disciples, only Dao Disciple Yesang used the trump card set up by his master, yet he still failed to wipe out the enemy, allowing the news to spread and giving Yang Tianyou an opportunity.
In conclusion, faced with the enormous information gap, Yang Tianyou realized that his previously formulated plan seemed to have to be abandoned.
Given his status as the Demon Puppet Venerable, even if he devoured all Three Dao Disciples, he would most likely be unharmed, let alone the lowest-ranking Dao Disciple.
"It seems we need to reconsider!" Yang Tianyou sighed, feeling disappointed but not discouraged.
No plan is guaranteed to succeed, and Yang Tianyou had long been mentally prepared for failure.
However, this plan was aborted before it could be implemented... It's nothing!
"First, refine Dao Disciple Yesang into Puppet, then plant him in the Blood-Slaying Dao as an inside agent. That would be quite good. We can also use the power of the Blood-Slaying Dao to eliminate some competitors for my Yang Household..." Yang Tianyou pondered.
When doing things, one must adapt to the times. If a previous plan fails, one can simply change one's approach. In any case, the core principle remains the same—it must be beneficial to the Lineage.
After calming his mind, Yang Tianyou took the Luochuan River Dragon King and quietly cultivated on this Deserted Island.
A year later, having accumulated enough Primordial Power, he began to take action, reshaping the soul of the Dao Disciple Yesang.
With a gentle wave of the Creation Brush, strands of Primordial Power flowed down, and the soul of the Dao Disciple Yesang appeared in mid-air.
With a flick of his sleeve, a massive Sealing Crystal appeared before him. His soul entered his Fleshly Body, and Dao Disciple Yesang opened his pure black Night Pupil once more.
In the Blood-Slaying Dao Secret Realm, Dao Disciple Yesang led the Cloud-Swallowing Walker back from the outside world. After being inspected by the Blood-Red Sun in the sky, they returned to the Palace.
As expected, being away for only a year is nothing to Nascent Soul Cultivators, and no one doubted their identities.
Subsequently, under Yang Tianyou's interference, Dao Disciple Yesang began a tight-knit plan within the Blood-Slaying Dao.
With the help of existing resources and some support from the Yang Household, Dao Disciple Yesang's influence began to rise slowly, gradually catching up with the other two Dao Disciples.
At the same time, Dao Disciple Yesang was also looking for an opportunity to contact the Demon Puppet Venerable, laying the foundation for future revenge.
Meanwhile, after Dao Disciple Yesang returned to the Blood-Slaying Dao Secret Realm, Yang Tianyou also returned to Divine Sword Island.
Fleet of more than a dozen War Flying Vessels hovered overhead, and Mortal landed from the Flying Boat, curiously looking around and observing their surroundings.
They were all Yang Household Member, and their purpose in coming here was to increase the Mortal population of Divine Sword Island and solidify its foundation for development.
After understanding the current situation on Divine Sword Island, Yang Tianyou handed over the method to contact Daoist Dao Disciple Yesang to Yang Xuanye, and then followed the Lineage's Cross-Region Fleet, leaving the Chaotic Sea and returning to Purple Moon Mountain.
