Chapter 247: Chapter 215: The Backup of the Profound Vagina Door
At the moment when Xiao Shang’s soul was shattered, Lu Yan suddenly sensed an unknown aura seemingly extinguished alongside the True Spirit in Xiao Shang’s soul.
His powerful Divine Soul enveloped Xiao Shang, and Lu Yan attempted to capture that trace of peculiar aura.
No matter how strong Lu Yan’s Golden Core-like Divine Soul was, he still couldn’t touch that trace of aura, only watching it completely vanish into the world.
Lu Yan’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked thoughtfully at Xiao Shang’s fallen corpse, with a hint of doubt in his expression.
"That trace of aura felt strangely familiar, definitely from something I have seen before."
Thoughts flew through his mind until something flashed in his mind, suddenly causing Lu Yan’s expression to stiffen.
His consciousness sank into the Profound Vagina Door in his body, which was already suppressed by the Human Emperor Banner, a profound heaviness revealed in Lu Yan’s eyes.
That trace of aura seemed to originate from the same source as the Profound Vagina Door.
"Is it really the Profound Vagina Door at fault?"
Lu Yan suddenly recalled when he first encountered Xiao Shang, Elder Xiao had attempted to suppress Lu Yan.
Although Elder Xiao was ultimately scared off by the Taiyi Sect’s reputation, to ensure his safety, Lu Yan almost used the Human Emperor Banner within his body, allowing a small portion of the Human Emperor Banner, which originally suppressed the Profound Vagina Door, to be released.
That release was extremely short, and the Human Emperor Banner had never left the Profound Vagina Door during that time, so Lu Yan overlooked it.
Reflecting back now, perhaps that trace of aura leaked out during that moment.
Realizing this, a sudden clarity dawned on Lu Yan, and many things inexplicable before became instantly understandable.
Why did Xiao Shang hate Lu Yan so much? Besides Lu Yan using his influence to punish the Xiao Family, the key factor was probably that trace of aura secretly guiding him.
Other than that, the matter of Elder Xiao and his spouse ambushing Lu Yan also gained some clarity.
When Elder Xiao was in Qingwu Blessed Land, he suppressed his anger, showing restraint, which once made Lu Yan very wary and consider making the first move.
At that time, Elder Xiao knew that though his hopes of breaking through to Nascent Soul as a Golden Core Peak grand master were slim, it wasn’t entirely impossible.
If he succeeded in breaking through to Nascent Soul, he could openly return to the sect unaffected by True Monarch Wu’s decrees.
Even fighting demons and monsters at the South Sea Sea Eye, Elder Xiao, as a member of Cyan Simurgh Sect, would have a higher survival rate than an ordinary Golden Core master.
Conversely, secretly plotting to ambush Lu Yan meant facing many risks.
Even if he successfully killed Lu Yan, Elder Xiao would still face pursuit from Taiyi Sect, Cyan Simurgh Sect, True Monarch Wu, Ji Xingyao... figures from various factions.
As a sect elder of the orthodox Xuan Sect, Elder Xiao must understand the consequences of opposing the top ten sects, yet he chose the worst possible path.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan waved his right hand and Xiao Shang’s storage pouch fell into his hand.
The storage pouches of Elder Xiao and his spouse were destroyed by spatial rifts, so Lu Yan could only look for clues from Xiao Shang.
Sorting through the storage pouch, among large quantities of Spirit Stone pills, Lu Yan discovered an invitation card.
Lu Yan took out the invitation card, and a name was clearly written on it, Taiyi Sect’s True Person Mo Yangzi.
"A Golden Core True Person of Taiyi Sect?"
Lu Yan’s eyes slightly flashed, linking everything about Elder Xiao’s entire affair.
The aura that leaked from the Profound Vagina Door adhered to Xiao Shang, turning into a Heart Demon and deepening his hatred towards Lu Yan.
But this aura was insufficient to affect Golden Core Peak Elder Xiao, so initially, Elder Xiao accepted punishment and went to the South Sea Sea Eye.
Yet during this period, possibly due to Xiao Shang’s persistent requests, Elder Xiao visited Taiyi Sect, meeting this True Person Mo Yangzi.
Through this True Person of Taiyi Sect, Elder Xiao confirmed Lu Yan was merely an outer sect disciple, and even his identity was bought.
Upon learning the truth, Elder Xiao’s emotions fluctuated, allowing that trace of aura to exploit the opening and evoke a Heart Demon.
Under the influence of the Heart Demon, Elder Xiao schemed to ambush Lu Yan, leading to the scene just now.
"The aura leaked from the Profound Vagina Door likely didn’t expect Elder Xiao to kill me.
Its true aim was to use Elder Xiao to force me to use the Human Emperor Banner, creating opportunities for the Profound Vagina Door to escape the Human Emperor Banner’s suppression!"
Realizing this, Lu Yan’s heart trembled greatly.
If Lu Yan hadn’t deliberately left a trace of Celestial Dao Merit to lock onto Xiao Shang’s location, preparing in advance, he might have unknowingly fallen victim to the Profound Vagina Door’s scheme.
If he couldn’t be cautious ahead of time, as Lu Yan interacted with the outside world more, the hostility guided by the Profound Vagina Door would grow. Once erupted, Lu Yan could only continue using the Human Emperor Banner for self-defense.
Under constant pressure, the Profound Vagina Door would grow to an uncontrollable terror, eventually causing the situation to spiral out of Lu Yan’s control.
"The slightest relaxation might bring a counterattack, I must not give the Profound Vagina Door even the smallest chance."
Lu Yan increasingly realized the importance of resolving the immortal chaos.
His gaze glanced over the Colorful Cloud Poison before putting the magic artifact into his storage pouch. Then, with a wave of his right hand, the golden Profound Yellow Merit Fire fell onto Xiao Shang’s corpse.
The Profound Yellow Merit Fire, transformed from Celestial Dao Merit, devoured Xiao Shang, as Lu Yan lightly lifted his index finger, a Merit Golden Wheel appearing at his fingertip like a small sun.
Under the radiance of Celestial Dao Merit, all Divine Techniques, spell traces of karma were completely severed.
