The Dog Emperor probably believes that Lu Chen entering the ’Twelve Dutian Divine Dragon National Array’ is merely to help him seize control of this National Suppression Array.

Little does he know that Chu Xisheng has another agenda.

Lu Luanyi blinked upon hearing this and completely relaxed.

Knowing the Dog Emperor’s nature, he certainly won’t let Yu Kunlun see anything. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

No matter how much he trusts the Zhe Dragon, he will definitely hold something back.

Chu Xisheng leisurely said, "The matter of inverting yin and yang and seizing the corpse puppet will yield results in the next two days. If the Luo Han Sect successfully helps me seize it, we will let them refine the corpse puppet. If they fail, we’ll find a way to ruin their plans."

Attempting to refine a Near-God corpse puppet is no easy task; it requires a perfect alignment of time, place, and harmony with people.

Even a slight mistake could result in hidden dangers in the corpse puppet, or even cause the plan to fail.

Of course, he also wanted to get his hands on this Near-God corpse puppet, but it will take some time, likely two to three months.

Either seventy-two days or one hundred and eight days.

The longer he waits, the more perfect the Near-God corpse puppet will become.

Lu Luanyi twitched the corners of her lips.

She thought that Chu Xisheng was indeed full of wicked schemes.

If his chest and abdomen were opened, his heart and intestines would surely be black.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.

After two or three months, how will Emperor Jianyuan look when he finds out that all his efforts have been for Chu Xisheng’s benefit?

Learning that he buried his niece alive with his own hands to refine a Near-God level corpse puppet for Chu Xisheng—his mood must be terrible.

This marks the true completion of the Secret Rite of Vengeance orchestrated by Chu Xisheng.

"We should also leave."

Chu Xisheng said this and then looked towards the direction of the black iron gate.

"We are going to Returning Ruins."

By this time, he had confirmed that the Master of Pure and Satisfied had left this place.

This was the perfect opportunity for them to leave that person behind and head to the Returning Ruins.

There was only one matter that left him uneasy.

Chu Xisheng worried that someone might break into this treasure vault and awaken the Martial Fierce Heavenly King Ming Qianqiu and the 210,000 Divine Martial Armored Soldiers, forcing the two martial cultivators inside to begin their path of ascension.

Earlier, Lu Luanyi had cast a spell to conceal the entrance to this treasure vault.

But it probably wouldn’t fool Shen Jingli.

And Lu Luanyi’s level in formations, how should I put it?

It’s a bit hard to describe.

The incident with the Iron Madman is a case in point.

Although in recent years, Lu Luanyi’s skill in formations has greatly advanced, the Luo Han Sect claims she has achieved true master level prowess, yet Chu Xisheng remains skeptical.

Chu Xisheng now could only rely on his Imperial Mage.

After assisting Chu Xisheng in seizing the corpse puppet, the Luo Han Sect would take over the area, attempting to set up a large illusionary formation nearby.

Additionally, he sought help from Lu Chen’s brother ’Master Peacock’ Lu Yuan.

This person is also a renowned magic expert of the era, with decades of experience in formations, much more reliable than Lu Luanyi.

Recently, Chu Xisheng has been attempting to contact the Chu family’s former Tributor Master ’Iron Crown Wanderer’ Mu Liu Fan.

This person once assisted Chu Fengge in completing the ’Inverting Yin and Yang’ spell; his spellcasting ability must be extremely high.

However, after Chu Fengge’s death, he went into hiding, and his whereabouts have been hard to trace.

Chu Xisheng has been having Xi Bitian and others search for Mu Liu Fan’s whereabouts, intending to invite this ’Iron Crown Wanderer’ to come out and assist.

Recently, Xi Bitian found some clues and has made contact with this person.

But it is estimated that in the short term, he still cannot rely on this individual.

And just as Chu Xisheng and Lu Luanyi, one after the other, stepped out from that black iron gate.

Inside the treasure vault, to the right of Martial Fierce Heavenly King Ming Qianqiu, the ’Four Poisonless Knights’ Du Tianyue, suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze was slightly surprised, with a trace of satisfaction and expectation, he glanced in the direction of the black iron gate, then gently waved his robe sleeve.

In that instant, countless runes lit up inside the treasure vault; the huge space hidden within the gap of time and space started to emit a creaking sound.

The black iron gate also began to twist violently, returning to normal after only three breaths.

Meanwhile, thirty miles away, Chu Xisheng suddenly felt a slight disturbance in his mind.

He turned his head to glance back, then smiled faintly.

It seemed the two inside had things covered without his worry.

He continued to navigate the Bathing Sun Divine Ship, entering the nine-story Cloud Sky, transforming into a golden ray of light, continuing towards the east in the direction of the Wuzhong Ocean.

Meanwhile, outside Wang’an City, Shen Jingli sensed something, turning her head to take a look behind her.

She felt an inexplicable sense of unease in her heart, making her feel antsy and irritable.

This time, after much effort, she had finally locked onto Chu Xisheng’s trail, which should have been the perfect opportunity to eliminate the threat posed by Chu Xisheng,

but unexpectedly at this critical juncture, unforeseen changes occurred near Wang’an City, compelling her to set aside Chu Xisheng temporarily to deal with Emperor Jianyuan’s ’Yin Yang Unity.’

Shen Jingli couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

Not only has Chu Xisheng’s cultivation strength increased by leaps and bounds, but the people around Chu Xisheng have been continuously growing in power too.

Like Chu Yunyun, like Jian Cangfeng, like Lu Luanyi, like Li Changsheng—all of them are exceptionally rare genius Heavenly Pride of the Human Clan in a millennium.

It could be that in just a day’s time, their combat strength would have advanced by bounds.

The difficulty of shattering Chu Xisheng’s Ruyi Blade Heart would also increase daily.
