Under Huanglong Zhenren's questioning, Lu Changsheng smiled.
"You think too highly of yourself. Do you really think I'm targeting you?"
"Last time at Lingganhu, you used me to deal with the Xuan Sha Mang, then took the Xuanling Fruit while I was distracted."
Huanglong Zhenren glared at him.
He couldn't understand how Lu Changsheng could say something like that.
"You've got some nerve! Do you know the Demon Race Heavenly Court came after my Chan Sect because you killed the Xuan Sha Mang?!"
Lu Changsheng looked surprised.
"That actually happened?"
"Of course!"
The memory of it only made Huanglong Zhenren angrier.
"But what does that have to do with me?"
Lu Changsheng turned the tables.
"You killed the Xuan Sha Mang. The Demon Race Heavenly Court came after you. What's the problem?"
Huanglong Zhenren was at a loss for words.
He wanted to argue with Lu Changsheng, but couldn't think of a counterargument.
It was only natural for the Demon Race to demand an explanation after Huanglong Zhenren killed one of their own.
The abnormal part was that Huanglong Zhenren had killed the Xuan Sha Mang without getting the spoils he was entitled to.
"Then what about this time? Give me the Yin Yang Jiao Dan!"
Surely Lu Changsheng had nothing to say this time.
The Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons had indeed been killed by Huanglong Zhenren.
"Bad luck, I guess. What else is there to say?"
Lu Changsheng sneered.
"As I said, Natural Treasures belong to the strong."
"You may have slain the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons, but you couldn't protect them. That's your problem."
"You..."
Huanglong Zhenren's eyes widened, the corners nearly splitting with rage.
He was absolutely furious.
"Who exactly are you?!"
By now, Huanglong Zhenren knew he couldn't defeat Lu Changsheng and reclaim the Yin Yang Jiao Dan by himself.
But if he could learn Lu Changsheng's identity, he could ask Chijingzi for help once he returned.
Then it wouldn't be too late to take Lu Changsheng down.
But Lu Changsheng looked at Huanglong Zhenren with even greater disdain.
"The weak don't deserve to know who I am."
He wasn't a fool.
After what had happened with the Xuanling Fruit and the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons, Huanglong Zhenren must have hated him to the bone.
At his current strength, he had no problem dealing with Huanglong Zhenren.
But what if Huanglong Zhenren learned his identity and brought the other Jade Void Twelve Immortals to help?
Huanglong Zhenren stared hard at Lu Changsheng.
He was weak?
Which of them was a Mysterious Immortal, and which was a Great Unity Golden Immortal?
In the end, Taiyi Zhenren's throat bobbed. He spat out a mouthful of blood, so furious that he coughed it up.
"Fine! Fine!"
"I don't care who you are. Hand over the Yin Yang Jiao Dan!"
"Make an enemy of my Chan Sect, and you'll meet a dead end!"
Huanglong Zhenren couldn't think of any other way.
"Are you that naive, or do you think I'm easy to fool?"
"After everything between us, even if I handed over the Jiao Dan, would you let me go?"
As he spoke, Ling Yun Jian moved again.
"If you want the Jiao Dan, then take one more sword strike from me."
As Ling Yun Jian was about to slash down again, Huanglong Zhenren gritted his teeth and fled.
"You'd better stay hidden. One day, I'll kill you!"
There was no choice. He had exhausted the power of his talismans.
Even if he kept fighting, he still wouldn't be a match for Lu Changsheng.
And if he were badly wounded again, he wouldn't be able to fight Xuan Jun soon.
That would mean total defeat.
So, though he was deeply unwilling to leave, Huanglong Zhenren weighed his options and chose to retreat.
Lu Changsheng watched Huanglong Zhenren leave but made no move to pursue him.
Even if he caught up and took Huanglong Zhenren down, what would that accomplish?
Huanglong Zhenren had no Magic Treasures worth taking.
Besides, he already had the Yin Yang Jiao Dan. Returning to refine the Yin Yang Spirit Merging Pill and aid his cultivation was what mattered.
But before leaving, there was one more thing to do.
Lu Changsheng gestured at the sea with his left hand, and the corpses of the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons were collected.
Even dead, Twin Flood Dragons of that realm were valuable.
He had another use for them back home.
With that, Lu Changsheng had achieved his goal on his trip to the East Sea.
He took the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons' corpses and their Jiao Dan and returned to his cave dwelling.
A short while earlier, at Biyou Palace.
Tongtian, seated on the Green Lotus Cushion, sensed something.
He raised his head and looked toward a corner of the East Sea, letting out a soft exclamation.
A Saint was an existence beyond compare. At the very least, nothing happening in the East Sea could escape Tongtian's notice.
It was simply a matter of whether he wanted to know—and, once he did, whether he wanted to intervene.
In the next moment, Tongtian's Spiritual Sense surged, revealing everything happening in the East Sea.
The Primordial Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons were undergoing tribulation.
And the person hiding in the shadows was...
Huanglong Zhenren?
If no one intervened, the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons would likely die at Huanglong Zhenren's hands.
According to Tongtian's original deductions, the Primordial Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons were supposed to die at the hands of the Interception Sect.
But now things had changed.
In truth, Tongtian didn't particularly care whether the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons died at the hands of the Interception Sect.
But the fact that they might die at Huanglong Zhenren's hands did leave him somewhat displeased.
A Chan Sect Disciple had come to the East Sea to Seek Opportunity.
The Chan Sect was reaching a little too far.
Just as Tongtian was considering whether to do something, Lu Changsheng appeared.
When he saw Lu Changsheng take the Jiao Dan from the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons, a hint of surprise entered Tongtian's eyes.
He had some impression of Lu Changsheng.
The last time he had publicly announced the news of Jie Chan Discuss Dao, Lu Changsheng had been standing beside Yunxiao.
Then Tongtian watched the entire battle in which Lu Changsheng defeated Huanglong Zhenren.
Once Huanglong Zhenren and Lu Changsheng had both left, Tongtian withdrew his Spiritual Sense as well.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Lu Changsheng was rather interesting.
It wasn't because of any Xiantian Lingbao.
Xiantian Lingbao were valuable, but they were nothing special to a Saint.
What Tongtian truly found interesting was that Lu Changsheng was only an Outer Disciple of the Interception Sect, yet he hadn't cared about the threat posed by Huanglong Zhenren, one of the Jade Void Twelve Immortals, and had snatched the Yin Yang Jiao Dan from him.
And judging from his conversation with Huanglong Zhenren, this wasn't the first time he had taken a treasure from him.
He had even provoked the Demon Race into causing trouble for the Chan Sect.
That pleased Tongtian quite a bit.
Perhaps he should keep an eye on this disciple, Lu Changsheng.
He hoped Lu Changsheng wouldn't disappoint him.
