"Wow, it's so lively! We didn't miss anything, did we?"
The graceful woman holding the pipe glanced around, smiling sweetly. However, beneath that stunning smile lay a deadly intent.
On the other hand, the man in imperial robes on the other side had a calm expression, showing no emotional fluctuations, but the imposing imperial aura in his eyes was terrifying.
Guang Chengzi sighed softly.
Today was really lively!
"Meng Po, Emperor Xin, I never expected that you two would willingly appear on Taoist territory for his sake."
Guang Chengzi was not surprised by Meng Po and Di Xin, but by the fact that Lu Henge held such a high position in their hearts that they were willing to take great risks to protect Lu Henge.
Meng Po rebelled.
Emperor Xin was resurrected.
These two pieces of news had already reached Taoism.
certainly.
To be precise.
Meng Po cannot be considered a rebel, because she has been at odds with Taoism for a very long time, and they are like oil and water.
It's just that the underworld is a space created by Taoism, and Meng Po stayed in the underworld for a long time, which gave many people the misconception that Meng Po is a Taoist.
As for Emperor Xin...
Needless to say.
With these two here, things won't be going to go smoothly today.
Meng Po smiled and said, "Guang Chengzi, what are you saying? Is Taoism some kind of dragon's den or tiger's lair? Is it off-limits to us?"
Although Di Xin remained silent, the meaning in his eyes was exactly the same.
Upon hearing this...
Guang Chengzi smiled.
Unexpected.
Taoism has actually been looked down upon.
To date, only Meng Po and Emperor Xin have dared to openly look down on Taoism in front of Guang Chengzi.
"Although I am no longer at my peak, you two are far too arrogant."
Guang Chengzi's golden Taoist robe fluttered slightly.
Upon seeing this.
Meng Po's smile faded slightly.
It's okay to look down on Taoism verbally, but if you also look down on Taoism in your actions, you'll suffer a great loss.
at this point.
Emperor Xin should know this very well.
Meng Po took a puff of her pipe, exhaled a white smoke ring, and turned to look at Lu Henge behind the Heaven-Mending Stone: "You brat, you weren't hurt that badly, why are you hiding?"
Suddenly.
A hand is placed on the stone used to mend the sky.
Lu Henge emerged from behind the Heaven-Mending Stone. Just as Meng Po had said, Lu Henge was indeed not seriously injured. At the moment of the explosion, the Heaven-Mending Stone, hidden deep within the World Tree of his soul, appeared on its own initiative and shielded Lu Henge from the power of the center.
Not only that.
The Stone that mended the sky also absorbed the aftershocks of the explosion, causing it to undergo a transformation.
Lu Henge had been behind the Sky-Mending Stone the whole time, studying its changes. After a brief period of research, Lu Henge had a bold idea.
"Senior Meng Po, it's been a long time."
Lu Henge greeted him.
It has indeed been a long time since we last met.
Lu Henge had experienced too many twists and turns in his journey to the Ancient Realm, and had spent a lot of time in the process. Now that he had met Meng Po, she hadn't changed at all. Perhaps the only change was that she had become an old smoker.
Di Xin also spoke up: "Why does the aura of the human emperor on you seem both righteous and evil?"
Lu Henge awkwardly scratched his nose. The aura of the Human Emperor on his body had been fused with other things, which was why it didn't seem so pure, but its power was definitely much greater than before.
But Lu Henge was too embarrassed to say it.
He was afraid that Emperor Xin would beat him.
As the first emperor, Di Xin was extremely familiar with and obsessed with the aura of emperors. If Lu Henge told him the truth, wouldn't Lu Henge become a heretic in Di Xin's eyes?!
but.
Di Xin didn't dwell on this point, but nodded and said, "You've grown much faster than I expected. You've lived up to the title of Emperor."
Meng Po teased, "This kid is still injured and hasn't recovered to his peak condition. If he recovers, you might not be able to beat him."
Di Xin grinned, his smile playful.
There was no rebuttal.
They did not agree.
Lu Henge was more focused on the current situation. Looking at Guang Chengzi in the distance, his expression became extremely solemn. Lu Henge did not recognize Guang Chengzi, but he could tell from the Taoist robe on Guang Chengzi's body that this person held an extremely high position in the Chan Sect. This was the first time Lu Henge had ever seen a Taoist robe with such intricate patterns on a Chan Sect disciple.
Meng Po introduced Guang Chengzi to Lu Henge: "Guang Chengzi is the head of the Twelve Immortals of the Chan Sect. He holds an extremely high position within the Chan Sect, second only to Yuanshi Tianzun, Randeng Daoren, Nanji Xianweng, and Yun Zhongzi. You can think of him as the eldest brother of all the disciples of the Chan Sect."
"Guang Chengzi".
Lu Henge's eyes flickered slightly.
This name doesn't sound intimidating.
But the title of "head of the Twelve Immortals of the Chan Sect" is too intimidating.
"He is very strong."
Lu Henge spoke.
intuition!
Meng Po nodded: "He is indeed very strong. If it were the Guang Chengzi of the past, even if Di Xin and I joined forces, we would not be a match for him in a single move, but it is different now."
Lu Henge raised an eyebrow.
Di Xin raised his hand and grabbed, and the Human Emperor Sword appeared in Di Xin's hand.
"You've used the Emperor's Sword to this extent?"
Di Xin was full of disdain.
Back in the day.
He fought against so many Taoist disciples all by himself, yet the Human Emperor Sword didn't turn into this state.
Lu Henge scratched his head awkwardly once again.
He couldn't respond to Di Xin's words.
The key point is...
Di Xin was right.
Lu Henge wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason.
Lu Henge did not refute, but the sword spirit of the Human Emperor Sword trembled a few times in dissatisfaction, in order to protect Lu Henge's dignity.
Di Xin showed no dissatisfaction; instead, he smiled with satisfaction. There were many magical treasures in the world more powerful than the Human Emperor Sword, but the higher the grade of the magical treasure, the stronger its self-awareness and the more difficult it was to recognize its master and obey commands. In this respect alone, the Human Emperor Sword was far superior.
The next second.
A terrifying aura of the Human Emperor enveloped the Human Emperor Sword.
In an instant.
The Emperor's Sword, which was originally slightly damaged, was quickly repaired, and two ferocious dragon heads were engraved on both ends of the hilt.
Lu Henge is the current master of the Human Emperor Sword.
However, as the former master of the Human Emperor Sword, Di Xin was able to completely control the Human Emperor Sword in a short period of time.
immediately.
Di Xin stepped forward: "I'll protect him, do you have a problem with that?"
It's obvious.
This was said to Guang Chengzi.
Guang Chengzi sneered: "Are you challenging my authority?"
Guang Chengzi was indeed angered, and he stopped talking about "I" and started talking about "me" directly.
Meng Po also took a step forward: "If it were you in the past, the two of us would definitely run away without saying a word, but now, how much strength do you have? First, you had a layer of your Dao bone cut off in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, and the three flowers on your head were removed. Then, you were affected by the Creation Stele, and your Dao flow was blocked, making it obscure and difficult to understand."
"Guang Chengzi, you are not the same person you used to be."
"The overall strength of your Taoism has weakened considerably compared to before."
Guang Chengzi's face was as dark as water.
Unexpected.
Meng Po is surprisingly knowledgeable about Taoism.
