Chapter 15: 3 True Sect Masters?
Chapter 15: 3 True Sect Masters?
"So that's how it is... Was I tricked?"
"Is this some kind of scheme to distract me by destroying the three islands of Penglai?"
He was the most powerful supernatural being in history, unparalleled throughout the ages.
Although Jiang Mingzi had only recently reached the Great Completion stage in 439 AD.
But how could he not sense the magical field created by the fifteen powerful magical corpses and the overwhelming tide of corpses?
"But is this underestimating me?"
Jiang Mingzi glanced through the same month's token at the twisted figure that was fighting with Gongsun Ling.
"Do you really think you can hold me back with just fifteen powerful magical corpses attacking Penglai?"
Jiang Mingzi wasn't foolish enough to think that the person who had driven the three of them to this point was an idiot.
"So... there are other guys lurking in the shadows, yet another lackey of Wanye?"
"With a wave of his hand, fifteen powerful magical corpses appeared, along with hundreds of medium-level magical abilities and a monstrous horde of corpses—"
"Given his size, and considering that the person behind him dared to send this person to obstruct me, he must be one of the top ten in the history of supernatural powers."
"I just don't know if it's someone from the past, present, or future."
"The culprit that Gongsun Ling is facing now is betting that I won't dare to take the penalty. In other words, the guy secretly watching me can interfere across time and space and replace me after I take the third or fourth penalty—"
"At the very least, it will leave me vulnerable after my defeat."
"And then, after this defeat against Wanye, I'll be powerless to fight the next major battle where I can gather all three of them again?"
He truly deserves the title of Immortal Lord of All Laws in the Mortal World, but he only knows that Penglai has encountered an unprecedented zombie horde.
Jiang Mingzi was able to grasp the entire plan in an instant and guess it was pretty much correct.
Now, he has two choices.
The first option, abandoning this battle, seems to be the best choice.
Jiang Mingzi herself does not need to continue to suffer punishment and put herself in danger because of the cross-time and space battle.
They can also take the time to rescue Penglai and save their friends and this time-honored tradition.
The guy secretly watching him and the unspecified number of remaining powerful magical corpses will probably give up now.
Although he may fail this time, Wanye will continue, but he still has one more chance and there is still hope for the future!
The final day—even if we win this battle, all businesses will still perish.
It should be noted that they had been preparing for the worst, and the Supreme Myriad Laws Sword, which they had been accumulating for the next battle in case of defeat this time, would be fully formed at that time...
Moreover, he now knows about the existence of those two corpses.
Next time, I will definitely be prepared.
The second option is to try everything to defeat the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries this time!
This choice not only has a low success rate and will lead to the destruction of the Penglai Islands, but it will also deprive Jiang Mingzi of the opportunity to interfere with the final day after the failure.
A comparison of the two—
Upon careful consideration, giving up this time and placing hope in the next one is indeed the best choice.
"You most damned lackey of all trades, do you think this immortal lord would think that way?!"
Yes, giving up this time is indeed the best choice after careful consideration.
However, this is a useless way of thinking!
One of the fine traditions of the Three Truths Dharma Gate is: I want them all!
Therefore, Jiang Mingzi chose to both save Penglai and try to destroy Wanye, while also avoiding the possibility of being killed or leaving any hidden dangers.
The prerequisite for achieving this is—
During the initial period when he rescued Penglai, Gongsun Ling and Can Yi, who were not under his protection, could not afford to be at a great disadvantage, or even suffer serious injuries.
And after he rescued Penglai, he needed someone who could intervene across time and space to heal, no, to erase the damage from his first two penalties.
To enable himself to continue interfering in the eleventh war of cause and effect
Do your best to help Gongsun Ling and the old scoundrel Can Yi win.
So, is it possible for someone to satisfy both the first and second points at the same time?
"Of course there are—"
"You lackeys of Wanye, do you really think you're the only ones with a backup plan?"
"Gongsun Lazybones' shameless husband, the former sect leader of the Three Truths Sect in that era."
"He's a little-known, high-ranking expert in causality!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingzi revealed a smug smile.
"That old scoundrel Lü Buyi has always kept to himself and rarely goes out. After developing a chronic illness, he has refused to see anyone except Gongsun Landan."
"Wanye Yifang will absolutely not have any information about him!"
"And in the current situation, even without being told, he can sense that his wife is in danger."
"That guy may not live much longer, but he's never been one to cling to life or be afraid of death..."
"He is the trump card that can turn the tide—"
After thinking it through, Jiang Mingzi didn't hesitate and immediately used [Chang Shimingzi] —
They planned to rescue Penglai in the fastest and simplest way.
After all, it was a different sect, and Haihua Yao had only recently taken over as the island lord, so Jiang Mingzi had not left any methods behind on the three islands of Penglai.
If you want to fly there now, it will take at least two or three minutes...
Given that a person with great supernatural powers can fight dozens or even hundreds of rounds in an instant, the three islands of Penglai would probably be wiped out by now.
"Let's interfere with the history of our last trip to Penglai together—"
"It's not that long ago. Use [Chang Shimingzi] to set up a large array in a place where no one can witness it, and then bury a dozen or so magic treasures."
"This should be enough to hold off that overwhelming army of corpses until I arrive in Penglai!"
then……
For the first time in history, Akiko Tokiyo's interference in history has failed.
Inside the Three True Dharma Palace, Jiang Mingzi narrowed his eyes, not expecting the other party to be able to do this.
We can only fly directly to Penglai. I hope Xiaohua and the others can hold on.
But how did they manage to prevent [Toki no Akiko] from interfering with Penglai?
Amidst the puzzled gazes of his teachers, Jiang Mingzi, who was soaring into the sky towards Penglai, felt a touch of disbelief.
Returning to the battlefield of Muye in 1046 BC, Gongsun Ling was somewhat taken aback upon receiving Jiang Mingzi's message.
"How did you manage to do that?"
In the ultimate showdown between [Same Moment, Same Fate] and [Practice the False, Return to the True].
Gongsun Ling was still able to calmly ask questions of the enemy.
However, Lü Buyi was not surprised. His wife was like that, and he knew her all too well.
As for the answer to her question—
It's very simple; it's not only Can Yi who can interfere with the future by planting talismans.
Lu Buyi had previously given Suiyuan a full ten [Refinement and Return to Truth Talismans], which were extremely difficult to refine.
As long as Suiyuan sends the Dharma Corpses down, he can throw these powerful magic talismans onto the three islands of Penglai.
These talismans can then temporarily isolate everything on the three islands of Penglai from interference by other causal supernatural powers.
Of course, Jiang Mingzi will definitely be able to break through given some time, since it wasn't Lü Buyi who performed it personally.
But that would be counterproductive.
After another clash with Gongsun Ling, he once again used [Practice the False to Return to the True] to consume his mana and erase the injuries and other fates transferred by [Same Moment Change Fate].
Lü Buyi threw out a corpse covered in wounds that appeared out of nowhere in order to conceal the true nature of his supernatural powers.
He gazed at Gongsun Ling without speaking, choosing silence as the answer to the question he had just asked.
However, despite the fact that the situation has deteriorated to this extent.
He still couldn't detect any panic in Gongsun Ling's expression.
Lu Buyi sighed softly, "As expected, Little Jiangzi won't give up so easily."
"And his confidence must surely stem from 'me'."
"Only I can use the [Practice the Fake to Return to the Real] technique to erase the indelible injuries he has already suffered across time and space."
"And Ah Ling, she also knew that I would definitely come."
"So she believed from beginning to end that there was still a chance of winning."
Vice-Lord Wanye raised his head: "Then, as you wish—"
The leader of the Three Truths Sect murmured to himself, "I'm here."
The next moment, Gongsun Ling, who was engaged in fierce battle with Lü Buyi, heard cheers from his grand-disciple below.
then……
Finally, a smile appeared on her lips, the first smile she had seen since the start of the battle.
Lu Buyi stared at her not far away, his feelings complicated.
Because the smile on his wife's lips was one of trust so deep that she felt at ease just hearing that he was coming.
