"If you're done testing me, can you tell me why you're here? I'm really exhausted."
"Since when did I test you? Lord Sheng, you're thinking too much. " Yan Shiyuan smiled rather innocently. Then, he said, "I'm just grateful to you for your hard work and contribution, Venerable Sheng. That's all. By the way, I'd like to remind you that the Sky Cleansing Altar has been completed, and a lot of folks are clamoring to go down the mountain. So, Venerable Sheng, you must hurry up and help the blood demons master the 'Evil Spirit Devouring Art' as soon as possible so that the blood sacrifice can be completed."
Zhou Changsheng shook his head and said, "I understand. I'll go to the Truth Temple now. Is that not enough?"
Yan Shiyuan smiled fakely and said, "Haha, if Lord Sheng is tired, you can rest before you go."
Zhou Changsheng snorted and said, "Since Lord Sheng has come personally to urge me, if I delay any longer, wouldn't I be ignorant?"
Yan Shiyuan also went with the flow and said, "Then I'll help Lord Sheng succeed."
"Lord Yan, then I'll go first." Zhou Changsheng did not waste any more words. After bidding farewell, he stood up and led Ying Feiyang out without hesitation. Rather than saying that Yan Shiyuan was in a hurry to urge him to go to the Zhen Yi Temple, it would be more accurate to say that Ying Feiyang was in a hurry to escape. Staying in the same room with a smart person like Yan Shiyuan, one more word could expose him.
"But, at least I managed to fool him …" Zhou Changsheng and Ying Feiyang walked out of the room one after another. Feeling that Yan Shiyuan was no longer watching him, a drop of sweat dripped down uncontrollably …
But the moment Ying Feiyang stepped out of the room — —
"Lord Chi Yang!"
These three words suddenly came from behind him. Ying Feiyang reacted half a second too late and stepped out of the room.
But this half a second was enough for him to sort out his thoughts. "This Yan Shiyuan, is he done yet!"
Just when he thought he had muddled through and his mind was at its most relaxed, he suddenly delivered another fatal blow.
If Zhou Changsheng was under Lord Chi Yang's control, then when Lord Chi Yang heard Yan Shiyuan suddenly call his name, the relaxed Lord Chi Yang would most likely freeze for a second. This was almost a conditioned reflex.
As long as there was a slight pause, it would prove that Lord Chi Yang's consciousness still existed.
Fortunately, Yan Shiyuan called him Lord Chi Yang. He did not know that Lord Chi Yang was just a fake identity and there was someone else behind the mask.
Ying Feiyang continued to take this step without any hindrance. At the same time, he had Zhou Changsheng stop first. Only after Zhou Changsheng's figure stopped did he stop.
He then ordered Zhou Changsheng to turn around and said impatiently, "Dao Master Yan, what are you up to now?"
Yan Shiyuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just asked around. This demon's name is Lord Chi Yang. If Venerable One doesn't know, I can tell you."
"Is his name that important to me?" Zhou Chang Sheng angrily waved his sleeve, then angrily led Ying Feiyang out.
This time, Ying Feiyang only dared to take a deep breath after he was completely far away from Yan Shiyuan. He could not stop his cold sweat.
"That was close!" Although they did not make a move, the probing conversation just now was no less dangerous than a sword fight.
If the one controlling Zhou Changsheng was Lord Chi Yang, or if Yan Shiyuan called him Ying Feiyang, then they would have stopped moving and exposed themselves. But no matter how cunning Yan Shiyuan was, he would not have thought that Lord Chi Yang was just a fake identity. The one controlling Zhou Changsheng was Ying Feiyang.
When he called out Lord Chi Yang's name, Ying Feiyang naturally did not react immediately. When he did, he already knew Lord Chi Yang's intentions, so he disguised himself perfectly.
Being able to pass this time was mostly due to luck. But no matter what, he still passed the most dangerous stage. Not only that, he also confirmed Yan Shiyuan's past identity.
"Be it He Changling or Yan Shiyuan, I will make you pay for what you owe sooner or later!" Ying Feiyang thought to himself. He did not stay any longer and strode toward the mountain gate.
Yan Shiyuan waited until Zhou Changsheng's figure completely disappeared before he slowly retracted his gaze. Originally, his suspicions had disappeared, but seeing Zhou Changsheng so straightforwardly heading to the True One Temple without any hesitation, he could not help but try again. In the end, he still did not find anything strange.
"Forget it, I was too paranoid …" Zhou Changsheng's consciousness was indeed not very likely to be devoured by a mere Shu Land Blood Demon. Yan Shiyuan laughed at himself, shook his head, and muttered to himself in the direction of the Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace's main hall, "My Lord, please bless me, I am only one step away from the goal of recreating the Six Realms."
-----
After getting rid of Yan Shiyuan, Ying Feiyang boarded the "Cloud Carriage" under the guidance of a disciple and headed in the direction of the True One Temple.
Compared to the world of ice and snow outside, the inside of the carriage was very warm. Ying Feiyang, who was exhausted from the probing and counter-probing just now, could not help but feel tired and sleepy. However, he had no choice but to stand up straight and play the role of a puppet under Zhou Changsheng's control. He could only continuously deduce a plan in his mind to refresh himself.
However, the speed of the Cloud Carriage was indeed very fast. He had only gone through the plan twice in his mind when he heard a disciple say, "Venerable One, we have arrived at the True One Temple. Beast Messenger Bai Ze is welcoming us."
"Beast Messenger Bai Ze? Fortunately, it is not Chi Yan. " Ying Feiyang silently said in his heart. The Path Master of Animal Path Wan Shouchun rarely appeared. The Four Great Beast Gods were more beastly than human. Most of the daily affairs were handled by the Five Great Beast Messengers. The Five Great Beast Messengers' initials were "Bai, Qing, Hei, Chi, and Huang", corresponding to the five directions and five elements. Bai Ze was one of them.
Previously, when he rushed into Kunlun Mountain, Ying Feiyang had interacted with Chi Yan. Although he had put on two layers of disguise, wearing the Chi Yan Jun mask and Chu Song's disguise, if it was Chi Yan who received him, it was hard to guarantee that Chi Yan would not recognize him. Now, it was better to have less trouble than less trouble.
After instructing Zhou Changsheng to get off the carriage, he saw a rather amiable little old man with white hair and a beard bowing to welcome him. "Beast Messenger Bai Ze of Animal Path greets Venerable One of Human Path."
In terms of status, Venerable One of Life Path was one level higher than Beast Messenger Bai Ze. However, the two of them did not belong to the same path, so Zhou Changsheng also returned half a bow.
Ying Feiyang had already found out that Zhou Changsheng thought highly of himself. Among the six paths, other than the Heavenly Path and Human Path, he looked down on the other paths. Naturally, he did not have a deep relationship with the Beast Messengers of Animal Path. Thus, to prevent himself from saying too much, he went straight to the point after exchanging a few pleasantries. He said, "I am under orders to guide the blood demons of Shu Land to practice the Hungry Ghost Devouring Karma Technique. Beast Messenger Bai Ze, please lead the way!"
Beast Messenger Bai Ze was quite talkative. As he led the way, he talked non-stop. Most of his words were complaints. The content was nothing more than that the Animal Path had spent a lot of effort to rebuild the True One Temple. However, if the Hungry Ghost Path was rebuilt, the Animal Path would have to hand over the True One Temple to the new Hungry Ghost Path as a stronghold, and the Daoists of the Animal Path would have to move elsewhere.
"The Animal Path is from Shu Land. Venerable One, you are representing the Human Path, but a group of demons have benefited for nothing. By cooperating with the Northern Demon Path, the Heavenly Path Master is not afraid of inviting a wolf into his house …" Bai Ze complained as he walked.
Ying Feiyang laughed in his heart, "It's right to have resentment. If you are really in cahoots with Bei Longtian, it would be difficult for me to deal with you."
At this moment, Bai Ze happened to stop in his tracks. He pointed to a building that looked like a prison in front of them and said, "Venerable One, the blood demons of Shu Land that were previously sent here are now inside, waiting for you to show your skills."
Ying Feiyang looked up and laughed in his heart, "Heh, this is like revisiting an old place."
