After seeing Lei Yang's death, I was also startled. However, I understood that it wasn't because Tong Tong was ruthless. It was because of the limitations of the taming technique.
The fiercer the taming technique was, the more dangerous it was. This was especially true for the Flying Head Descent, which controlled the user's head to leave the body. If the user wasn't careful, he would die.
Tong Tong had just used his Heavenly Yin energy to cut off the connection between Lei Yang's head and body. He hadn't killed him yet. Who would have thought that Lei Yang would turn into a puddle of blood and die?
This was also a common problem with Nanyang's sorcery. Compared to the gentle Qi of the Way, its power was still great, but the risk of cultivating it was also great. Not to mention during battle, even during normal cultivation, the slightest carelessness could lead to life-threatening danger.
Seeing Lei Yang die in the venue, the people from the Nanyang Daoist faction shut their mouths. No one spoke for quite a long time. Their faces were dark and gloomy.
Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande, who had just announced that they had defected to the Nanyang Daoist faction, stood there as if their souls had left their bodies. They looked as if they had just lost their parents.
I tried to suppress my emotions. Then, I understood. After they had defected to the Nanyang Daoist faction, the Ghost Descending Technique on them hadn't been undone. Now that Lei Yang was dead, no one could undo the Ghost Descending Technique.
Tong Tong had undone Lei Yang's Ghost Descending Technique once. It wouldn't be difficult for him to help them do it again. Unfortunately, after they had defected, they had lost this chance.
I asked Tong Tong to return to the jade bracelet. Then, I left the venue and returned to the people of the Guangdong branch.
The people from the Nanyang Daoist faction finally reacted. Two people wearing the same attire as Lei Yang walked out. They collected Lei Yang's body and belongings. Then, Elder Lin Zhong of the Ghost Raising Sect came out. His face was dark and gloomy. He asked us to call a truce for today and to fight again tomorrow.
From the beginning of the competition until now, our Guangdong branch had taken the initiative to call a truce every day. This was the first time the Nanyang Daoist faction had asked for a truce.
President Xu and Chen Shuhe nodded in agreement. The people from the Nanyang Daoist faction left the venue with their tails between their legs.
This time, they didn't make a ruckus or mock them. When they reached the entrance, facing a group of excited Hong Kong reporters, none of them stopped to accept the interview. Instead, they left as fast as they could.
After the Nanyang person disappeared, Zhang Kanwen jumped in front of me and punched my shoulder. He said loudly, "Brat, good job! A taming master at the later stages of Glory of Consciousness was defeated by you just like that!"
After he said that, I reacted. Lei Yang was a taming master at the later stage of Glorious Theory. If this matter was spread out, the metaphysics world would be in an uproar.
Of course, I wasn't too proud of myself. Rather than saying that I had defeated Lei Yang, it would be more accurate to say that I had defeated Tong.
Moreover, this is also because of the special identity of Lei Yang's Taming Head Master. If it were a Feng Shui master at the late stage of Glorious Past from the Xuanmen of the Central Plains, Tong Tong and I would not be able to defeat him.
While I had a clear understanding of myself, I was still worried.
Previously, after the Lu family had crippled my cultivation foundation, it seemed that the grudge had ended. However, if Lu Zhenyang heard about what happened today, would he make a move on me?
Although I had Grandfather Li's protection, if the Lu family could completely destroy my life the last time, they would be able to do the same next time.
Originally, when I was heading south, I had already decided to keep a low profile in the future, at least until I solved the Lu family's problem. However, I never expected that I would once again stand in the eye of the storm at this exchange.
However, since it had already come to this, there was nothing to regret. I could only be more careful in the future.
It wasn't just Zhang Kanwen, but Chen Shuhe, President Xu, and even everyone from the Guangdong branch all walked in front of me and congratulated me excitedly.
Everyone's grief and indignation were swept away, and they started to think about the upcoming competition.
The people from the Nanyang Daoist faction were all at the Glory of Consciousness realm, but Lei Yang, who was at the later stages of Glory of Consciousness, was already considered to be at the pinnacle of his cultivation. Even he had been defeated. Who else from the Nanyang Daoist faction would be able to fight against me?
Everyone had the same thought, as if they had forgotten the lesson they had learned earlier.
Only I was still a little scared. According to the current situation, the Nanyang Daoist faction didn't have anyone who could fight against me. However, I was afraid that the Nanyang Daoist faction would have someone who cultivated orthodox mystical techniques. He didn't need to be at the later stages of Glory of Consciousness, but at the middle stages of Glory of Consciousness.
At that time, without the special suppression from the pupils, I would definitely lose as I was only at the Pressure Point realm, and my pupils had just reached the Glory of Consciousness realm. My realm hadn't stabilized yet, so I would definitely lose.
However, I couldn't tell the others about this, so I could only stay vigilant.
After everyone discussed excitedly for a long time, I told them that I still had a competition tomorrow, so I went back to rest early.
When I returned to the hotel, I called Tong Tong out and chatted with her for a long time. Tong Tong told me that she had a proper Ghost King cultivation base. While she had been asleep for the past few days, she had swallowed tens of thousands of souls to reach this realm.
There weren't many souls left in the jade bracelet. However, with the help of Lei Yang's ten thousand souls, she could cultivate faster.
Not only did the Heavenly Ghost Infant suppress other Yin Spirits of the same realm in terms of the grade of their Yin Qi soul, but their cultivation talent was also extremely strong. As long as there was enough high-grade Yin Qi to absorb, or an endless number of Yin Spirits to devour, they would never stop cultivating their eyes.
It was also the reason why she had reached the Ghost King realm in just a few years.
After chatting for a long time, I told Tong Tong about the Nanyang Daoist faction's situation. Tong Tong didn't need to do much to deal with Lei Yang, but the situation wasn't clear yet. We couldn't be careless.
Early the next morning, I arrived at the Shenzhen Branch. When I got in, I saw Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande kneeling in the lobby on the first floor. Chen Shuhe, President Xu, and the others were standing in front of them. They were talking to them angrily.
I was a little dumbfounded. These two had come here because they wanted me to help them surrender. However, in just two days, they had betrayed us and then returned … These two made me speechless.
When I walked in front of them, Chen Shuhe was bitterly saying to the two people. "The Metaphysics Society isn't a place where you can enter and leave whenever you want. Also, don't try to change the topic. Everyone knows what happened yesterday.
Don't even think about helping us surrender. Even if Zhou Yi agrees, I won't agree.
You can go home and wait for your deaths. You can ask the Nanyang Daoist faction for help. However, don't show up in the Guangdong Branch.
This time, I won't hold you accountable. However, if you people from the Nanyang Daoist faction barge into our Metaphysics Society's territory, it won't be easy for you to leave. "
Chen Shuhe didn't give them any face. Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande were panic-stricken. After listening to him, tears and snot rolled down their cheeks. They looked extremely pitiful.
However, everyone at the scene looked at them coldly. Not a single one of them showed any signs of sympathy, including me.
Since what happened yesterday had happened, anyone with a healthy mind wouldn't have any sympathy for the two of them.
Metaphysics had no borders, but humans did.
Chen Shuhe saw that I had arrived, but he didn't ask for my opinion. He immediately got people to chase Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande away. Then, he turned around and put on a smile. He asked me how my body was feeling today.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the people from the Nanyang Daoist faction arrived. Both sides didn't say anything else and walked onto the stage.
The one representing the Nanyang Daoist faction was an elder from the Ghost Raising Sect. His name was Ji Guolong. Before he went up, Chen Shuhe secretly told me that this person's cultivation was only at the early stages of Glory of Consciousness.
I nodded. It seemed that my earlier guess was right. Although the Nanyang Daoist faction had made ample preparations, it was still a small place. How many experts could they have?
Previously, Lin Zhong and Lei Yang were probably the strongest in the group. It would be hard for the others to have a late stage of Glory of Consciousness.
If we won, there were still three more matches. I didn't dare to use my pupil too early, so I didn't summon Tong Tong from the start. Instead, I used my own power to take out the Square Sky Fan, Golden Light Divine Incantation and other defensive artifacts to fight against the spirits that Ji Guolong had summoned.
I originally had the thought of exhausting his strength, but I didn't think that this Ji Guolong didn't have any initiative. I reckon that he also had the same thought of exhausting his strength. After fighting with me for several hours, I finally called Tong Tong out to help me and barely defeated him.
After winning another match, a bad thought emerged in my mind.
