They've fallen out. They've really fallen out.
Yang Zhen stood on the clouds, watching Fang Zhongjian fall to the ground with groans and laughter. Ghost Alchemist, wrapped in a Shadow Clone, was relentlessly tormenting him. Li Cangxu, however, was furious and unleashed a Heavenbreaker at Ghost Alchemist.
puff!
The Ghost Alchemist stared in disbelief as the longsword pierced his chest. He looked back and could see the tip of the sword behind him. Then he turned back around, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "Why... why?"
Didn't you invite me here to compete with the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain in alchemy? Didn't you want to seize control of this operation? Wasn't it you...?
With a thud, the Ghost Alchemist fell to the ground, raising his hand in a daze. His heart had been pierced, and no matter how powerful his soul was, it had no vessel. Without a special method, he was doomed!
Fang Zhongjian lay beside the Ghost Alchemist, staring in horror as blood streamed from the Ghost Alchemist's chest, his face drained of color. He looked incredulously at Li Cangxu in mid-air.
Li Cangxu snorted coldly, his eyes flashing like lightning. Without uttering a word, he charged towards Fang Zhongjian, his longsword humming, blood dripping down his face.
Snap!
A drop of blood, clearly the heart's blood of the Ghost Alchemist, landed on Fang Zhongjian's face. Fang Zhongjian jolted awake, let out a strange cry, and scrambled towards the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord, using both hands and feet to do so.
" Li Cangxu, you're insane! You've gone mad! What are you doing? Holy Lord, Holy Lord, save me!"
boom!
Li Cangxu slashed at Fang Zhongjian's feet with his sword, and a terrifying Sword-Ray shot out, piercing several bloody holes in Fang Zhongjian's leg, which frightened Fang Zhongjian so much that he crawled even faster!
" Li Cangxu, you unfilial son, have you truly gone mad?"
The Heavenly Spring Holy Lord was furious. With a casual wave of his hand, a violent wave of energy surged out, instantly engulfing Li Cangxu.
Yang Zhen was stunned. Damn it, he didn't expect the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord's True Essence to be so profound. He had been immersed in the Peak Mahayana Realm for many years. He was indeed extraordinary!
However, this level of power was clearly not enough to kill Li Cangxu. It was evident that although the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord was furious, he had no intention of killing Li Cangxu.
Everyone stared blankly at the strange scene before them. Li Cangxu suddenly flew into a rage. He had already killed the Ghost Alchemist, and now he wanted to kill Fang Zhongjian. Such a rebellious act would have killed an ordinary disciple several times over in front of the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord.
Yang Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement, then simply sat on the Great Deficiency Sword and quietly watched Li Cangxu show off, even feeling an urge to applaud him.
Li Cangxu, alone with his sword, his back crisscrossed with Sword Qi, his body surging with turbulent waves of energy, stepped out from the overwhelming True Essence, staring intently at Fang Zhongjian.
Answer my question!
The Heavenly Spring Holy Lord was furious. In front of so many people, Li Cangxu had actually done such a rebellious thing and even dared to openly defy him. The fact that he hadn't killed Li Cangxu on the spot was enough to prove how much the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord valued Li Cangxu.
Li Cangxu glanced back at the bewildered crowd around him, then looked up at Yang Zhen in mid-air and burst into laughter. "Everyone says that humans are primates, the most powerful rulers of the world, but Cangxu I've seen all these years are nothing more than walking corpses, humanoid beasts who can't even escape their own greed."
At this point, Li Cangxu suddenly looked up at Yang Zhen and said almost frantically, " Yang Zhen, you and I are the same kind of people. Tell me... are all the people in this world just ignorant and confused fools?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they stared angrily at Li Cangxu. Even the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord's face turned ashen.
Although Li Cangxu was arrogant and conceited, he always respected the hierarchy. However, after meeting Yang Zhen, he became even more insane. This Yang Zhen is truly toxic.
Seeing that Li Cangxu had offended everyone present except Yang Zhen with his first words, Yang Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement, but did not immediately answer Li Cangxu's question.
Yang Zhen needs to confirm one thing!
Sure enough, amidst the angry shouts of the crowd, Fang Zhongjian let out a strange cry, jumped up, pointed at Li Cangxu, and said, " Li Cangxu, what is this? You've stepped out of your own little world, and you're no longer a person who craves vanity? This world has always been like this. Greed, passion, and desire are all things that have existed since ancient times. This is what makes a living human being. Don't you think you're being foolish?"
"We cultivators follow the will of Heaven, cultivating the seven emotions and six desires; who can transcend these things?"
" Li Cangxu, what... exactly happened?" the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord asked in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a look of surprise and worry!
Li Cangxu laughed loudly, looking at the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord with an empty expression. "Absurd, Uncle-Master, this disciple finds it absurd. This is humanity, finding all sorts of excuses for their selfishness, doing whatever they want, what need do they have for any bullshit reasons?"
As he spoke, Li Cangxu suddenly turned to look at Fang Zhongjian, his voice suddenly softening. "Tell me, why did you ambush Yang Zhen?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Fang Zhongjian sneered. " Yang Zhen has offended my Heavenly Spring Sacred Land so much. If he doesn't die, how can my Heavenly Spring Sacred Land save face today?"
"Does his death mean the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land's reputation is preserved?" Li Cangxu sneered.
"You..."
What could be more shameful than failing to kill Yang Zhen during a sneak attack and instead causing internal strife?
Heavenly Spring Sacred Land has utterly lost face today.
Li Cangxu laughed heartily, "You're all so scheming, opportunistic, treacherous, and despicable! Your minds are too chaotic; it's practically impossible for you to Dao Entry!"
As he spoke, Li Cangxu's expression suddenly darkened. He looked up at Yang Zhen and said, " Yang Zhen, I used to be confused and muddled. Although I knew something was wrong, I couldn't pinpoint it. No one could help me, not even my master, who had been so kind to me. He couldn't lend me a hand or offer comfort. But today, I've finally seen the light. Thank you for helping me understand myself."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Cangxu simply walked out step by step, leaving everyone completely bewildered.
Even the usually composed Heavenly Spring Holy Lord looked bewildered, staring at Li Cangxu and saying, " Li Cangxu, you... you're actually leaving?"
Li Cangxu smiled sadly, "Why stay here if I'm not leaving?"
Yang Zhen landed from mid-air beside the group from the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain. The Shameless Cat curiously approached and stared at Yang Zhen, asking, "Damn it, what happened? Why did Li kid turn into this?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon Yang Zhen. After all, Li Cangxu's transformation was caused by Yang Zhen, and now that Li Cangxu had changed so much, no one present could understand it. Yang Zhen must know something.
Seeing the curious gazes of the crowd, Yang Zhen sighed, gave Li Cangxu a strange look, and said, "He's currently in a state of enlightenment, his mind is elsewhere, his soul has transcended the mundane world, reaching another level. He thinks he understands this world, but little does he know..."
"Little did he know, what he saw was not the whole world?" Heavenly Snow Holy Lord asked curiously, his gaze fixed intently on Li Cangxu.
Yang Zhen sighed and said, "No, he's just having a relapse!"
"Has he... has a relapse?"
The group was completely bewildered, not understanding the connection between sudden enlightenment and a relapse.
Yang Zhen frowned, glancing at Li Cangxu with concern. "This poor child, I wonder if he can pull through. In our village, this condition has a medical name: depression!"
"What... what illness?"
The Heavenly Spring Holy Lord, having somehow overheard this, asked with a bewildered expression.
