Chapter 1903 - 695: Donghuang Ziyang (2)

"But the current actions, how are they any different from the past Da Xuan?

"Alliance Leader Su...remember this, whether it’s an organization or a dynasty.

"At the beginning, they might have a lofty, dazzling creed that makes people dare not look directly at it.

"Under such grandeur of purpose, everyone might feel somewhat ashamed.

"However... as time passes, these things will change.

"The lofty ones remain dazzling.

"But those who wield them have already become a group of people like those you despised most back then.

"What’s even sadder is, when you look down at yourself, you find that you’ve also become one of them..."

He laughed as he spoke here.

But the laughter was somewhat desolate:

"After this, I began planning the downfall of the Jinglong Association.

"But how formidable is the Jinglong Association?

"Hundreds of years of development, extending to this day, their vast power exceeds all sects in the world.

"Moreover, in the midst, even if a Jing Huang leaves.

"The Jinglong Association can rise again.

"They do not exist because of power...

"As long as that shining purpose remains, as long as there are those who wish to use it for personal gain.

"Or those who push their agenda heedlessly and ruthlessly under its guise remain.

"The Jinglong Association will not fall.

"Therefore, the most important step in defeating the Jinglong Association is to ensure no Longmen Jing Emperor survives.

"Without the Jing Emperors, the head is gone.

"Even if disciples of the Jinglong Association survive all over.

"Without the head to lead, and after targeted strikes.

"It’s hard to form a climate.

"And to achieve that... meticulous planning is required."

"Was Guiniang one of your strategies?"

Su Mo spoke at this moment.

Dongmen Yong nodded:

"She counts as a free move.

"The Jinglong Association wanted to control Zhuge Yingxiong at Jinglong Hall.

"Let him sever his ’worldly ties’ and focus solely on the Jinglong Association’s affairs.

"Even if it meant having him seize his friend’s wife.

"On the wedding night, once this happens, Zhuge Yingxiong would no longer have friends.

"However, Guiniang Zhi Ying herself is a pawn that can be used.

"Her sect’s martial arts follow a cunning path.

"Far beyond ordinary learning and if she died because of this, wouldn’t it be a waste?

"So I appeared before her.

"Our objectives were both against the Jinglong Association, naturally, cooperation was possible.

"But at that time, my grand scheme hadn’t unfolded.

"To deal with the Jinglong Association, it wasn’t yet the time.

"I could only have her wait...

"Then heading to Donghuang was the beginning of everything.

"Meanwhile, I had already had people prepare, sending her a letter every two or three years.

"Lest she thinks I’ve died.

"Thus the so-called great plan would become empty words."

"Lord Dongmen is truly skilled."

Su Mo shook his head:

"Guiniang’s martial arts are extraordinary, those you arranged must also be no ordinary people, or else whether they can find her is another matter."

"Hahaha."

Dongmen Yong burst into laughter:

"Exactly, those I arranged are indeed extraordinary.

"They are crafted by me... it’s a pity, they are not by my side now, otherwise, I truly would’ve liked you to meet them."

"Oh?"

Su Mo’s brow slightly furrowed:

"Why aren’t they by your side?"

"Let me continue this matter."

Dongmen Yong’s face grew paler.

Ultimately, he was an old man of many years, facing chaos, alone against several masters, and also taking successive blows from the Fourth Shock’s Sitting Forget Jade Heart Scripture.

And having his limbs severed by the Second Jing.

His Qi Sea broken.

And yet not dead now, it can only be said the Qiankun True Understanding is indeed extraordinary.

He took a deep breath and continued:

"Before I went to Donghuang, I traveled the four corners of heaven and earth.

"I visited the Nanhai Martial God Temple.

"Unfortunately, although I gained insight, I did not receive the true inheritance.

"Having passed the upper illusion array, I reached the Heaven and Earth Four Directions Ten Thousand Stele Formation.

"Ultimately left disheartened.

"I also ventured into Da Xuan’s hinterlands several times.

"There, poisonous flowers, poisonous plants, poison mists swamps, strange beasts, are countless.

"That place was no longer earthly.

"Sometimes, outwardly seeming harmless.

"But with one careless step, one might fall evil.

"I remember a certain place that looked bright with clear skies and no gloom.

"It made me lower my guard.

"Only to take two or three steps forward and feel dizzy and nauseous, actually poisoned.

"That place was covered with a kind of colorless, odorless, dust-like extreme poison.

"Fortunately, I was well prepared beforehand, and thus narrowly escaped.

"Though I gained many things in Da Xuan’s hinterlands, I narrowly escaped death numerous times.

"After this, I then intended to head to Donghuang...

"Earlier, I mentioned, for the downfall of the Jinglong Association, the most crucial step is to eliminate all Jing Emperors within the Jinglong Association.

"But the Jing Emperors within, unless faced with a monumental event, will not gather.

"Additionally, the lower tier Jing Emperors cannot randomly return deep into the clouds.

"To gather them, requires detailed scheming.

"Most importantly, is to create an entity so formidable they must join forces against it.

"And for this, the first choice is naturally the Imperial Dao.

"Unfortunately, although the Imperial Dao frequently opposes the Jinglong Association.

"They always maintain a cautious stance.
