Is Ao Yao an idiot?
Obviously not.
The image he deliberately projected to the outside world was that of a spendthrift.
Ordinary people might think he's an idiot, since only an idiot would throw money around to help a down-on-his-luck cultivator pursue one of the top 100 beauties of the Azure Sky Domain.
People are willing to trust their first impressions, and few people think about why feelings bought with money can fade away.
After all, that stunningly beautiful woman truly went into seclusion afterward.
Returning to the present moment, Ao Yao did indeed lose his composure because of Jiang Lan's death.
But after calming down, he immediately realized that there had never been a monstrous genius below the Golden Immortal level who could interfere with reincarnation in this world.
Even if it did exist, it wouldn't be something he could access.
Only after realizing this did he become slightly more lucid.
What truly confirmed his suspicions was the door that appeared during the cycle of reincarnation.
More accurately, the proper name for that thing in the Azure Sky Domain and even in all the myriad worlds is "Source Core".
Ao Yao knew very well how precious the Source Core was.
The greatest opportunity in this battlefield of ascension is merely to give the first being to become a Golden Immortal a slight chance to ascend to the Great Luo realm.
The source core possesses the same function, and in some ways is even stronger than the Sky Battlefield.
This means that Brahma doesn't need to compete for the opportunity to ascend to heaven.
As for finding the resources they need, that's more like an insignificant bonus.
So... what exactly is Brahma's purpose?
Ao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, his memories flashing back to a thousand years ago.
Gu Nianjin, the Zi family, the Xuanhuan Sect... what they were fighting over back then, it seems, was the Source Core!
Could it be that it was in Brahma's possession?
Very likely!
So back then, Gu Nianjin's schemes might not have been limited to herself, but also included the Black Dragon Clan behind her.
The Zhou Tianjie (a type of celestial realm) is part of the overall layout.
Jiang Lan and Fan Tian are both pawns in this game.
The former uses beauty to seduce himself.
The latter attracts them through a mysterious background.
And they themselves were a crucial part of their invasion of the Black Dragon Clan.
Next... they will probably help him rise to power on the battlefield of ascending to heaven.
And I will become the first being to break through to the Golden Immortal realm on the battlefield of Ascension.
Afterwards, Brahma will naturally give him the Source Core, allowing him to gradually become the ruler of the Black Dragon Clan.
Finally, once they achieve the Great Luo realm and completely control the Black Dragon Clan, they will devour the Black Dragon Clan.
Such deep scheming, such terrifying tactics.
Thinking of this, Ao Yao felt a chill run down his spine.
But he quickly rallied.
Your methods are impressive, but I'm not one to be trifled with.
You want me to win the heart of a beauty and then rise to power, then I will grant your wish.
If I don't devour you all this time, I'm not a member of the Ao family.
Thinking of this, Ao Yao flew into the sky with excitement: "Brother Fan, thank you so much this time."
"Can you help me save Lan'er..."
Then, Ao Yao's entire face was slapped and twisted.
Boom—
A loud bang came from the ground, and billowing smoke and dust billowed out.
Jiang Lan's punch was a full-blown, unrestrained attack.
Lan'er?
Who is your Lan'er?
Do I know you well?
She rolled up her sleeves, ready to continue the pursuit.
But at that moment, Yan Mingshu immediately stopped her: "Senior, this is what happened. The situation was urgent earlier, so I just..."
After listening, Jiang Lan understood why this was the case.
Yan Mingshu, you really are my good junior!
"Senior, you won't blame me, will you?"
Yan Mingshu asked tentatively, somewhat unsure of himself.
"Blame you? No way!"
Jiang Lan rolled up her sleeves and threw a punch.
Blaming someone is never as satisfying as hitting them.
Another hole appeared in the ground.
Yan Mingshu looked up at the sky with a resentful expression, but he didn't dare to climb out at all.
I wonder if my senior has calmed down yet!
Li Fan kept his distance from Jiang Lan without making a sound.
This woman is far too fierce.
What's even more outrageous is that Li Fan couldn't quite understand her fighting ability.
If a real fight breaks out, the Five Elements Body might not be able to handle it.
Getting beaten up like this would really be a bad deal.
"Dongfang Qingming, you clean up the mess!"
Jiang Lan looked around and finally locked her gaze on Dongfang Qingming.
Of all those present, only Dongfang Qingming had the ability and experience to finish the job!
As for her good junior, it was already a great act of mercy that she didn't continue to punish him.
"Chief Jiang, please wait. I'll take care of things here!"
Dongfang Qingming nodded quickly; he couldn't afford to offend this woman either.
......
"No...no, why is this happening?"
Lying in the pit, Ao Yao was questioning his existence.
Is this how the "honey trap" is used?
She dares to hit me?
"Young Master, shall we get up first?"
Ao Jia's voice pulled Ao Yao back to reality.
Ao Yao suppressed his distracting thoughts and gazed intently at the sky.
It must be a classic case of feigning indifference to lure someone in!
Jiang Lan, I've seen through your little trick.
Next, Brahma will probably come over and play the bad cop, pretending to comfort me.
As for Yan Mingshu, that's even easier to explain: it must be a self-inflicted injury ruse!
Hmph, do you really think I, Ao Yao, am a fool?
Brahma, if I expose your little tricks and then make you pledge allegiance to me, how will you respond?
Ao Yao had a sudden inspiration and came up with an idea.
......
Dongfang Qingming did not rush forward, but instead arranged for the Yaochi warriors to take action.
It's not time to give up yet.
He was particularly interested in Yan Mingshu's plan.
Fighting is the path best suited for him.
One by one, the Yaochi warriors left, and in the end, only Dongfang Qingming, Yang Dong, Yan Mingshu, and Nangong Zhenxiang remained.
The four of them remained silent, waiting for Li Fan to finish dealing with certain matters.
At this moment, Ao Yao had already put forward his own ideas.
In summary, I saw through your tricks.
The so-called reincarnation is nothing more than a disguise created by the source core.
I don't need to elaborate on the authenticity of saving Jiang Lan, do I?
Now hand over the source core, and I will accept your surrender.
"Excuse me, could you say that again?"
Li Fan picked at his ear, somewhat unable to believe what he was hearing.
This was the first time he had ever experienced being robbed!
"Young Master, perhaps we should consider this further?"
Ao Jia, who was standing to the side, tugged at Ao Yao, sensing a fleeting killing intent.
This... is no joke.
"Is it necessary to take a long-term view?"
Ao Yao waved his hand, then said confidently, "I said, I'll let you..."
"Young Master, be careful!"
Before Ao Yao could finish speaking, Ao Jia quickly revealed his true form.
Click—
With a crisp sound, Ao Jia was sent flying.
Its proud defenses were utterly useless against this single strike.
In an instant, it felt like being sliced by a thousand knives.
pain!
An unspeakable pain!
But at this moment, Ao Jia did not hesitate at all, and roared despite the pain: "Brahma, it's all a misunderstanding. My young master is not in his right mind. Don't take it to heart. I swear on the Golden Immortal Path that I will give you everything my young master promised you. Let's talk things out. Please don't fight!"
These words ultimately had an effect.
Tiger Soul stopped on Ao Yao's scalp.
Only then did Ao Yao belatedly realize what was happening.
Did I... just barely escape death?
Ao Yao had no doubt that the guy named Brahma in front of him was planning to kill him.
They acted so quickly that they didn't even give themselves a chance to react.
"Remember, thirty-eight percent."
Li Fan's smile vanished, and he said, word by word, "It will be fulfilled immediately after we leave the Ascension Battlefield. Do you understand?"
"I...I understand!"
Ao Yao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
What a despicable person!
Why not just talk business properly? Why do you have to pretend to be the smartest? Where did you get your confidence from?
Li Fan turned and left without any hesitation.
He ignored Ao Yao and didn't greet Dongfang Qingming and the others.
In this life, he is a lone wolf.
