Chapter 57: Is the Real Yi Wushuang Already Dead?
Lu Chengfeng did not concern himself with the turmoil outside; he knew that after this event, Yi Mingshu would inevitably face immense pressure. As a sect with a legacy of ten thousand years, it naturally had rules and laws and couldn't be dictated solely by the Sect Leader.
"The power of the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect is too terrifying, with a heritage of ten thousand years, and an Immortal presiding over it. Even two True Dragon Reincarnations cannot cause much of a stir here."
"If I can incite internal chaos within the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, seizing the opportunity to weaken the enemy's strength would be the best choice."
Lu Chengfeng certainly did not forget their mutual enmity because of his current position; after all, they were mortal enemies. The Celestial Law-Controlling Sect's ancestors were now using the lives of the Yuncang Sword Sect disciples to force him to appear.
The entire destruction of the Yuncang Sword Sect was entirely led by Yi Hongchen, and such hatred could never be eradicated.
"Make a fuss! The bigger the better!"
Lu Chengfeng didn't care at all; he believed Yi Mingshu could never sell his own son. That old man doted on his son immensely and would never abandon him no matter the cost.
Returning to the Brocade Palace, Lu Chengfeng brought Chu Zhihe back to his room.
Looking at the charming and elegant lady before him, he felt a bit troubled, not knowing how to handle the situation.
Chu Zhihe's status was extremely delicate; not only was she one of the five First Seat Elders of the Tao Vein, but she was also Chu Tiange's mother and the Tao Companion of another First Seat Elder, Zhang Zhijing.
Through her, it might be possible to trigger a chain reaction within the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, potentially igniting a conflict between the Taoism and Martial Lineages.
"For me, the best option is to first kill Zhang Zhijing, then kill Chu Zhihe."
Having endured countless storms over the years, even though he was lustful, Lu Chengfeng was ruthless and unfeeling at heart, refusing to let a woman affect his calculations.
"Kill Zhang Zhijing, and Chu Zhihe becomes a widow; I can then inherit Zhang Zhijing's gifts."
"Then kill Chu Zhihe, and just as before, see if she becomes a Guardian True Spirit upon her death, enabling me to receive the gifts of two Celestial Humans."
"At that time, with the gifts of two Celestial Humans, the collection of 38,976 volumes of the Tao Scripture from the Tao Vein, and the cultivation from Bright Moon Temple, I can rapidly advance in a short period."
He returned to the bed and looked at Chu Zhihe, awaiting his decision, and said: "Stay with me here for now, focus on healing your injuries, and I will arrange things afterward."
"Yes, Master." Chu Zhihe obediently agreed, sitting on the mat in the room. Although the bed was large, she dared not overstep her bounds without the master's command.
Especially the magic Qi Zhiyuan had placed on her, which prevented her from getting close to the master; until the spell was broken, she had to desperately restrain her impulses and desires.
While the fish was already soaking wet, making it unbearable...
...
The room gradually quieted down; Lu Chengfeng closed his eyes, and most of his mind continued to ponder the Tao Scripture, while he allocated some energy to planning future actions.
"Now, the most important thing is to kill Zhang Zhijing first."
"His existence poses a significant threat to me; eliminating him not only ensures the safety of my true body but also secures the gift."
"Moreover, when Chu Tiange returns, their combined influence will be terrifyingly exaggerated."
"I must kill him first!"
"The key is how to accomplish this..."
Various thoughts flashed through Lu Chengfeng's mind.
With his current strength, killing Qi Zhiyuan on his own was impossible; he had to use someone else to do the deed.
The only possible tool was Yi Mingshu.
"Currently, the sect is inevitably tense to the extreme; no matter how much the old man dotes on his son, he won't allow me to act recklessly under such circumstances, much less kill a Tao Vein First Seat for me."
"Unless... Zhang Zhijing strikes first..."
"But even today, when his wife was in my arms and we were intimate before everyone's eyes, he didn't strike publicly. With his temperament and composure, he certainly won't act rashly."
"Any move he makes must be backed by utmost certainty."
Lu Chengfeng pondered for a long time before coming up with a strategy.
"I must draw the tiger away from the mountain and lure the snake out of its hole."
"Once I leave Lingxiao Mountain, that will be his best chance, and even if he suspects a trap, he will have great confidence in taking action."
"This is an open and honest strategy."
"I predict you will take action and prepare in advance; whoever prevails in the end will depend on the strength, plans, and arrangements of both parties."
Lu Chengfeng continually weighed every part of his plan, "If I am to ambush and assassinate him, there must be no delay; it must be swift, as swift as possible."
"Should Chu Tiange return, it will only introduce variables."
"It must be a swift, decisive act to kill him before anyone else can react."
"If internal chaos within the sect follows, triggering a grand conflict between the Taoism and Martial Lineages, that would be even better."
He knew that doing so entailed immense risks, with the slightest misstep potentially inciting a Celestial Human war, which could even endanger his true body.
But the power of the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect was terrifyingly immense, and over time, the two True Dragon Reincarnations advanced at a speed far beyond imagination, further bolstered by Chu Tiange.
This majestic mountain that is the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect might not be toppled even if one became an Immortal.
Much less with his current capabilities.
