Rule 21 of Commoner Town【If you leave the town or kill the town chief, there is no need to abide by the rules of Commoner Town】
When the pharmacy owner explained the meaning of the twenty-first rule to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, both of them thought of the same thing.
Since it’s impossible to leave the town or kill the town chief, which of the two would be superior if they clashed?
Not knowing the answer, they decided to give it a try.
Whether it’s the town chief leaving the town or killing the town chief, it would be advantageous for both of them.
If the town chief leaves the town, Commoner Town would become their territory, and they could look for another way to leave, such as starting with the private teacher.
Moreover, they didn’t believe that the town chief leaving Commoner Town wouldn’t shake the town in the slightest.
If they could kill the town chief, that would be even better; they would directly clear the game.
But getting the town chief to step into the pathway of leaving was not an easy task.
They neither knew the location of the ancestral hall nor who the town chief was.
No matter, stirring up trouble in Commoner Town would force the town chief to take action.
Those who set the rules would not tolerate anyone breaking them, as it would be a direct slap in the face, declaring their rules full of loopholes.
So, the two decided to exploit the rules to cause major disruptions in Commoner Town.
Lu Yang first threw a smokescreen by fabricating the function of the jade pendant and deliberately communicated through paper, giving the impression that it was a secret method that shouldn’t be revealed.
Knowing that nothing in the town could escape the town chief’s eyes, how could Lu Yang possibly reveal or write down the method to clear the game?
The town chief mocked Lu Yang and his companion for their arrogance, not realizing he was also arrogant. He was successfully deceived by Lu Yang, focusing all his attention on the jade pendant.
Then, the two mocked the yamen three times, telling the town chief that his people were no match for them.
If his subordinates were no match, the town chief would inevitably take matters into his own hands to deal with these two nuisances.
The town chief thought that stealing the jade pendant would solve everything, waiting in the ancestral hall for them to fall into the trap, not realizing they had no intention of using the jade pendant. They wanted the town chief to appear in the ancestral hall.
As for how Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou planned it, such a simple scheme didn’t need discussion.
What kind of helmsman of the demonic sect would he be if not cunning and full of tricks?
Technically, with the town chief’s physical body dead, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou should have cleared the level. However, the True Immortal of Defying Heaven couldn’t stand this humiliation. A mighty Unity Stage being, who had lived for thousands of years and outwitted countless foes, was tricked by two mere Foundation Stage cultivators.
He couldn’t bear it!
Even if it meant breaking the rules and damaging his soul, he was determined to kill these two pests today.
“Hmm, you’re a Sword Spirit Root?” Without the limitations of a physical body, the True Immortal of Defying Heaven was more perceptive. He noticed that one of them had a Single Spirit Root and the other a Sword Spirit Root, both of top-notch quality, far superior to the town chief.
The Sword Spirit Root excels in attack. If he could possess a body with a Sword Spirit Root, coupled with his “Defying Heaven Secret Method,” he could surpass his original self, break through his limits, and possibly reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage!
His “Defying Heaven Secret Method” could challenge immortals at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, an invincible existence. Even if a great era arrives, who could contend with him?
“It seems this is an opportunity given by the heavens!” laughed the True Immortal of Defying Heaven, surprised by such a significant gain, like finding a village after a long night.
He saw Lu Yang’s body as something already in his grasp. What waves could a Foundation Stage cultivator make in front of a Unity Stage?
He turned into a wisp of gray fog, entering Lu Yang’s mental space, preparing to possess him.
Lu Yang looked at the True Immortal of Defying Heaven in disbelief, his face filled with horror: “You, as a Unity Stage being, dare to not follow your own rules and attempt to possess me?!”
The True Immortal of Defying Heaven scoffed disdainfully at Lu Yang, seeing him as just a child, unaware of the world’s true nature: “Before you die, let me tell you a truth so you can die in peace.”
“Whoever has the strongest power is right; this is an unchanging truth throughout the ages. When you’re not qualified to provoke a Unity Stage being, you should tuck your tail and behave!”
Lu Yang sighed: “Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone followed the rules and competed fairly? Since you’re unwilling to play by the rules, don’t blame me for flipping the table.”
He moved aside to reveal the person behind him, making a welcoming gesture: “Fairy, it’s up to you now.”
Then, the True Immortal of Defying Heaven saw Everlasting Fairy, who was sitting with her legs crossed.
Everlasting Fairy looked down on the True Immortal of Defying Heaven, her lips curling into a faint smile, mocking and disdainful: “Young man, you dare to talk about possession in front of this immortal? You’ve got guts.”
“Huh?”
The True Immortal of Defying Heaven was filled with questions. Why were there two people in the mental world? And why did the other person claim to be an immortal?
For some reason, he had a feeling that a great disaster was about to befall him.
