Su Zhan's words were said without any embarrassment.
Even though he still had many Su clansmen, they were only mortals and low-level cultivators. Ying Chong said that he would protect him when he returned, but how much of this could be believed?
If he wasn't here, who would truly care about the Su clansmen?
As long as he was safe, the Su clan would be safe.
As for those Ying Chong's disciples, he didn't even mention them. Even Ying Chong himself didn't care about these disciples, so he naturally didn't need to pay attention to them.
And at this moment, these disciples couldn't even make a sound. Without the protection of Ying Chong's mana, they naturally couldn't withstand the impact of Xuan Zun's qi. They all laid on the ground, unconscious.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said: "You are the disciple chosen by Ren Yinping?"
Su Zhan hurriedly said: "Yes, I am Su Zhan, Master Ren's disciple."
Zhang Yu: "You said you want to submit to the Yuandu Sect? But I need to tell you, as early as three hundred years ago, my Tianxia no longer had any Yuandu Sect. "
Su Zhan immediately changed his words: "Then I am willing to submit to …" But when he said this, he suddenly stopped.
Because before he came here, he had already made a heart oath under Ying Chong's request. He wanted him to serve Shangchen and not rebel against Tianxia. Even more so, he couldn't fall into the hands of Tianxia. Otherwise, he would collapse on his own.
It was also because of this that he said he was willing to submit to the Yuandu Sect and not Tianxia. Because Shangchen needed to control the Yuandu Xuantu, so only this name didn't contradict.
But since the Yuandu Sect was no more, and Tianxia didn't recognize the Yuandu Sect now, this path was blocked.
He suddenly sighed. Ying Chong really calculated everything, not leaving any loopholes for him to exploit. Since it was like this, then why not go up and fight? What if he was lucky enough to survive?
He took a deep breath and tried to harmonize his magic power and mind.
Although Ying Chong had left, in the end, he did not snatch away the authority of the Earthly Star Artifact. This thing's defense could still be considered firm and stable. Even though it was currently being attacked by countless starlight, trembling and swaying incessantly, it looked like it could still persist for a hundred breaths of time. He still had the opportunity to slowly adjust and ponder countermeasures.
After a while, he raised his head to look at Zhang Yu's figure in the distance, and an idea appeared in his mind.
He had been cultivating in the past and was not good at fighting. Shangchen did not need him to do this, so he did not have much fighting experience. However, he still had some basic judgment. Just now, he had seen Zhang Yu's long-range attacks and felt that he could not resist, so it seemed that the only way was to charge forward and fight.
The Yuandu Dharma Formulations were also good at doing this.
He had cultivated a magical ability that could send the opponent into a space that he had condensed himself, making it impossible for the opponent to teleport out in a short period of time. If by chance he succeeded, then he might still be able to escape.
After thinking it over, he leapt outwards, leaving the Earthly Star that was already gradually collapsing. Just like Ying Chong just now, he charged straight towards Zhang Yu.
However, the one charging at the very front was only an illusory body that looked no different from him. The real him, on the other hand, was moving through the void, hiding at the side. As long as an opportunity appeared, he could charge into the inner circle.
Zhang Yu had the eye imprint on his body, and in addition to his own magical ability, he could see through the clues at a glance if it was not an exceptionally brilliant Dao technique or magical ability. For a method like Su Zhan's, he immediately understood the changes within.
His eyes flashed slightly, and with a casual wave of his sleeve, a ray of light that was like a cicada's wings had already slashed towards the illusory figure. At the same time, the Light of Mind that had been spread out on the outside had instead restrained some of its power.
When Su Zhan saw this, he felt that the opportunity had appeared. He immediately took advantage of this opportunity to teleport, and in an instant, he charged into the inner circle. Although he felt that this move was too smooth and was a little off, the arrow was already on the bow, so he had no choice but to release it.
He was just about to activate his magical ability to send Zhang Yu into that space. However, he saw the latter standing still with his sleeves behind his back, but behind him, there was a ray of bright light that flashed out explosively in the void.
Su Zhan was instantly horrified, and a great sense of danger welled up in his heart. He wanted to teleport out at the first moment, but he suddenly realized that the surrounding Light of Mind that looked like it could be broken through at any time was suddenly surrounding him, and immediately squeezing him to the point that he could not move.
He knew that this was a matter of life and death, so he immediately activated the "Permanent Life" mystery that he had obtained when he achieved the Xuan Zun.
This mystery could allow him to transform his body and consciousness into nothingness in the true sense of the word, thus avoiding the calamity. However, if this process of transforming into nothingness continued for a little longer, then he would truly disappear from the world. Therefore, he only dared to maintain it for a short moment.
When he retreated from the mystery in a state of shock, he was horrified to discover that the Earth Star behind him had been pierced through by the ray of light that had almost landed on his body. It had actually evaporated completely in an instant.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but rejoice that he had dodged a calamity. However, at this moment, his expression changed.
He raised his hand and watched in horror as pieces of himself fell from his arm to his fingers. The parts that had separated from his body had all turned into dust and smoke. Then, they drifted away and finally turned into nothingness.
Zhang Yu's gaze was calm as he looked at him. Just now, he didn't only use the "Universal Daylight", but used the "Constant Changes" technique from the very beginning.
If the person who had been struck by this divine ability couldn't maintain their mana within a certain limit, then their body would disintegrate on its own.
Although the battle just now was only for an instant, in order to deal with the oppression of the "Universal Daylight" technique, Su Zhan didn't pay attention to the changes here at all. However, even if he had noticed it, there was nothing he could do. After all, if he didn't evade at that time, then he would have lost his life on the spot.
Although he came to his senses at this moment, it was already too late.
He looked at his own body disintegrating piece by piece and smiled bitterly. He looked at Zhang Yu and suddenly said, "Can I ask Zhang Shouzheng a question?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Please speak."
Su Zhan said, "Back then, the Yuandu Sect clearly possessed the Yuandu Xuantu. No one could stop them from advancing or retreating. Wouldn't it be better for them to be independent? Why did they insist on merging with Tianxia?"
"Let me answer this question for you."
Daoist Zhan Kong stepped out from the void and appeared not far away from Su Zhan. He said in a deep voice, "The reason why I was willing to merge with Tianxia was because Tianxia opened the way for people and didn't abandon people for the sake of Dao."
Su Zhan was stunned and said, "It's that simple?"
Daoist Zhan Kong sighed and said, "The principle is simple, but since the ancient times, how many of the living beings in the various worlds could truly do it?"
Su Zhan still wanted to say something, but at this time, he was clearly unable to do so. His expression only moved a little, and then his face collapsed at the same time. After a few breaths, his entire person completely turned into a pile of ashes and merged into the void.
Daoist Zhan Kong sighed silently. It wasn't easy to cultivate the Dao of the Yuandu Sect. Ordinary disciples could be said to be very selective. Su Zhan could be considered a genius to be able to cultivate to this level. Moreover, when he used the divine power just now, it was also remarkable. However, he also knew that the other party wasn't on the same side as him from the beginning to the end, so he could only let him be destroyed.
Zhang Yu watched him disappear and didn't feel that it was a pity. This kind of person who had been instilled with the Dao of Shangchen since young, even if he went to Tianxia, he could only be imprisoned in the prison. If one day Shangchen was destroyed, then there was a possibility of him being released.
Daoist Zhan Kong looked around and saw that there were still some restrictions set up by Shangchen in the distance. He said, "As an observer, this poor Daoist should also put in some effort. Shouzheng, leave the rest to this poor Daoist."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist."
He changed his mind and returned to the upper level of Shouzheng Palace. Then, he reported the situation just now to the upper level of Xuanting through Xuntian Dao Zhang.
After reporting, he turned to look at the side of the palace wall. There was a simple map of Shangchen there. It was mainly pieced together according to Jin Zhixing's successive messages. Although it wasn't complete, it could be roughly seen.
He stared at the map. Next, he would see how Shangchen would react. It wasn't impossible for them to directly use the excuse of starting a war. However, if they only came to question or exert pressure, then there was nothing to worry about.
Because the Heaven's Secret had been disturbed, and the people who participated in the plan that day had been killed, Ying Chong didn't use Xuntian Dao Zhang to send a message for the sake of stability. As a result, the news of his failure couldn't be sent back immediately.
A few days later, the messenger sent to Tianxia, Lu Xingjie, received a message from Tianxia and reported the matter back to Shangchen.
After Gu Yangzi received the report, he immediately ordered someone to take the talisman book that Ying Chong had left behind in advance. After reading the latter's entire plan, he also felt that it was a pity.
The plan was still very feasible, especially since there was no need to kowtow to Tianxia. This plan would definitely win everyone's support. However, he didn't expect that in the end, it was still a failure.
He sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Ying Chong's plan didn't work. Shangchen has really missed a great opportunity."
Daoist Tian Hong said, "No matter how good the plan is, if it doesn't work, then there's no need to think too much about it. If this plan doesn't work, then we'll just follow my previous plan and call back Huanyang school. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
Gu Yangzi sighed slightly, then nodded and said, "Let's do it this way."
Daoist Tian Hong couldn't help but feel excited. He said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare.
Daoist Tian Hong thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, you can prepare for this first. However, before you start, you need to bring Fellow Daoist Ying Chong back. This kind of thing can't be done without Fellow Daoist Ying Chong's plan."
Daoist Tian Hong said, "That's natural. It's just a matter of time. We can still afford to wait."
If a Void Restoration cultivator's body was destroyed, then it would take at least a few years to a dozen years before they could return. If there was someone who used magic to obstruct them, then their return would be even later. Moreover, they would usually return to their original place. Unless someone used magic to receive them, or they left some arrangements in advance, then they would be sent to another place.
However, Ying Chong was someone who always had a habit of leaving behind a backup plan. Before he came out, he had already made preparations just in case, so he wouldn't end up at Tianxia's place.
Gu Yangzi said slowly, "I'll talk to Fellow Daoist Lingdu. This is our last feasible plan. However, Huanyang school isn't that easy to deal with. This time … we have to be on the same side."
