The moment this thought arose, Lu Yang made his move.
He did not use the Returning Palace, because this time was different from before. Hongyun wielded a Yi Wood divine power, and Yi Wood was born in Noon Fire; it did not fear the mysteries of Noon Fire.
Therefore, if he brought out the Returning Palace now, not only would he fail to achieve anything, he might even bolster the might of Hongyun's divine power.
