Zhuang Chengqian easily suppressed the possessed Song Wanxi with far less than enough strength. This is an absolute gap in realm. With a vision that is more than one step higher than Jiang Wang's, he can deal with the same situation like a cook and a cow, naturally and smoothly.
Now that the threat is lifted, Jiang Wang naturally wants to regain control of his body as soon as possible.
"That's it!" he said.
But in Tongtian Palace, Zhuang Chengqian strode towards Jiang Wang: "What can be done? Where can it be done?"
The physical body at this time was controlled by Zhuang Chengqian. Even though Tongtian Palace was the root of Jiang Wang, the suppression of Zhuang Chengqian had been greatly weakened at this moment.
Zhuang Chengqian took one step forward, and Jiang Wang was forced to take several steps back.
The dynamics of host and guest have changed!
"Don't forget, you swore the oath of Taoism!" Jiang Wang was shocked and angry.
"I appreciate everything about you, including your naivety!" Zhuang Chengqian laughed: "I have 231 ways to break the oath of the heart of the Tao. Do I need to teach you?"
He never intended to keep his promise.
The so-called return of the body after defeating Song Wanxi was just a lie, just to trick Jiang Wang into temporarily giving up resistance.
It is indeed impossible to defeat Song Wanxi with just one hand, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from Jiang Wang.
But in that life-or-death moment, he still wasn't prepared to keep his promise. Instead, he used the common danger of his life to deceive Jiang Wang.
To him, a covenant is no more than a piece of paper and a promise is no more than a sentence. An oath that cannot be broken is considered to be somewhat restrictive. But in fact, for true geniuses, that kind of oath may not exist.
Regardless of the Tao Heart Oath, the Heart Demon Oath, or the Blood Sacrifice Contract, they are essentially just an evolution of Taoism. Either with Taoist heart or with blood, a bond that cannot be severed is established. But any Taoism can be cracked.
The Taoist system has developed to this day, and there are too many ways to deceive the Taoist heart.
This is why, nowadays, the means used by the major extraordinary forces to control their disciples are basically no longer based on pure oaths.
Zhuang Chengqian pressed forward step by step. To be honest, he was looking forward to whether Jiang Wang could bring him any more surprises.
Only those who are sure of victory and have enough confidence in themselves will have this kind of expectation.
Of course he, Zhuang Chengqian, is.
Although he didn't think that Jiang Wang could do anything now.
He was approaching step by step, and Jiang Wang was retreating step by step. It would soon be inevitable to avoid him.
"If you only choose to back down at the last moment, I will be very disappointed in you." Zhuang Chengqian said in a condescending tone.
As soon as he said these words in Tongtian Palace, he heard a voice in his ears.
An old but angry voice——
"Let go of your dirty hands!"
The murderous intent echoed in the underground devil's cave.
'Zhuang Chengqian' who controlled this body turned around in shock: "Song Hengjiang?!"
An old man with a ferocious expression and unable to contain any anger was standing at the entrance of the cave, with clenched fists and a ferocious aura.
Astonishingly, he is the master of the 800-mile Qingjiang River!
Why did Song Hengjiang leave and come back?
This is unreasonable.
Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui have already left. They have seen everything that needs to be seen and said everything that needs to be said. He has no reason to come back.
'Zhuang Chengqian' thought quickly and quickly thought of the problem.
Before Jiang Wang walked into the cave here for the first time, he was walking slowly because of his unsteadiness, and was bumped by the blood-patterned sarcophagus next to him. It didn't seem to have any impact at the time, but now that I think about it, there was something very wrong with that collision!
"Did you do anything to the blood-patterned sarcophagus?" Zhuang Chengqian asked Jiang Wang in Tongtian Palace.
"I just want to remind Song Hengjiang that someone knows his secret."
Jiang Wang responded in a deep voice, and then he ignored him and escaped directly, leaving Tongtian Palace. Different from any previous short-term departure, this time he took away all the power of the soul, which was almost equivalent to completely giving up this fundamental place!
During the whole process, he didn't even glance at the star-twirling python.
He left Tongtian Palace to Zhuang Chengqian, which meant that he left Song Hengjiang completely to Zhuang Chengqian to deal with. But he escaped into the first inner palace.
Facing Zhuang Chengqian's advance, he retreated step by step, not to retreat, but to delay time.
The reason why his battle with Zhuang Chengqian became intense immediately was not because of Zhuang Chengqian's eagerness. In fact, he was the one speeding up the process during the entire battle.
Because he is in a hurry!
Because he knew that Song Hengjiang would turn back soon!
In order to fight against the imaginary Jiang Yan, he made a lot of preparations. Soul Flame Bird, Lingkong Temple, Sauvignon Blanc Sword Spirit, Red Makeup Mirror... Due to insufficient cultivation, the preparations were not perfect. So he has always been very tolerant of "Jiang Nightmare". Many times, it seems that the existence of this evil guest in Tongtian Palace has been forgotten.
But in fact, he has never been tolerant or trusting Jiang Yan, who has been trying to influence his will. Tolerance is just because you are not sure.
On that rainy night outside Xin'an City, when the inner demon was born, he realized that the moment of decisive battle was coming.
In his earliest plan, he was to defeat Jiang Nightmare in the shortest possible time and then escape. If none of these methods work, it means that he is no match for "Jiang Nightmare" - then find an opponent for "Jiang Nightmare"!
Even if Jiang Night kills him and successfully seizes his body, Song Hengjiang can still kill Jiang Night.
After becoming a monk in the inner palace, even if Tongtian Palace collapses, his soul can survive in the inner palace.
As long as the physical body is not destroyed, there is still a chance to find a way to repair Tongtian Palace - provided that he can take over the body again and persuade Song Hengjiang to stop after Song Hengjiang defeats Jiang Yan's soul and before destroying the body.
This is undoubtedly very difficult, and it can even be said that the chance of success is extremely slim. But it's better than being directly crushed by Jiang Yan silently. It's a risk taken out of necessity.
Having a choice is better than not having a choice.
The changes in Tongtian Palace only happened in an instant.
'Zhuang Chengqian' didn't have time to track down the origin of Jiang Wang's soul. He had already controlled his body to let go of Song Wanxi and evacuated the stone platform.
Because Song Hengjiang’s fist is coming!
The Qingjiang Shuijun punched through the space and appeared next to Song Wanxi, whose eyes were slightly closed, occupying the previous position of 'Zhuang Chengqian'.
He took a careful look at Song Wanxi and saw that she had not suffered any fatal injuries, then turned around and looked at Zhuang Chengqian coldly: "I will give you ten breaths to explain all this to me."
The person in front of him gave him very complicated feelings.
The opponent avoided his fist. It is true that he deliberately controlled the power and was afraid of affecting Song Wanxi. It also showed the opponent's extremely high level. But the strength of the aura on this person's body can never exceed that of the outer building.
Obviously, the physical body is very young. It is not the youth that stops because of successful cultivation, but the kind of youth that is not old. But the vicissitudes of life deep in his eyes seemed to have been lived for a long, long time. Those were definitely not the eyes of a young man!
And...for some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity in this strange young man.
This is why he gave the other party a chance to speak.
Of course, all the premise is that Song Wanxi was not really harmed.
'Zhuang Chengqian' knew very well that he was definitely no match for Song Hengjiang.
Song Wanxi only has strength and no mind, so he can control the strong with the weak. Song Hengjiang is a truly strong man, and he was once close to the threshold of Dongzhen. It is definitely not an existence that he can transcend just by relying on his past realm.
So without saying a word, he directly begged for mercy: "It is really offensive to Tianyan to enter this place by mistake. But Lord Shuijun, I saved the life of your daughter Song Qingzhi!"
