This is what villains are like

During the period when Jiang Lan was temporarily living in Gouchen Palace and not involved in outside affairs.

In the Yingzhao Star Territory, on an ancient star that is extremely primitive and full of life, a majestic dojo stands, sacred and bright, with palaces and pavilions winding one after another, like a dragon lying down, straight into the sky.

This is where Yingzhao Dojo is located.

As the Yingzhao Dojo and Lu Wushan clashed, many elders and disciples participated. The main hall, which used to be crowded with people, seemed much colder. From time to time, streams of light would wrap up the jade slips and fall, conveying news from the frontier areas of the border.

"Since Lu Wushan refuses to hand over Lu Wu's soul, he will have to fight to the end. Those old stubborns have no idea that the ancient ancestor has revived. If they still insist on resisting, they will only die."

"Now that we can't attack for a long time, it's better to use our secrets and kill Lu Wushan directly, lest the Immortal Alliance finally interferes and ruins the good things of our Yingzhao Dojo."

Several ancestors and elders of Yingzhao Dojo stood quietly in the main hall, looking at the contents of the jade talismans one after another and communicating with each other, their eyes filled with deep coldness.

At this time, there were still outsiders in the hall, but they did not hide their murderous intent towards Lu Wushan.

Zhou Yuan is sitting in the main hall. He is wearing a black cloak, has long hair and deep eyes.

There is a scar on his face that seems to run through half of his face. He looks a bit ferocious, but it can't hide his heroic temperament and his lean body, which gives people a sense of explosive power.

"A bunch of trash, I asked you to bring back Lu Wu's soul, but the stalemate lasted for so long, and there is nothing you can do against Lu Wushan."

His expression was indifferent, and there seemed to be no emotional fluctuations in his eyes, and he was aloof.

"Please forgive me, ancient ancestor."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the ancestors and elders in the hall changed, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground in fear.

"It will change later. Lu Wushan is huddled in the mountain gate and refuses to hand over Lu Wu's soul. Now he is probably seeking help from the Immortal Alliance. As far as I know, Lu Wushan has sent several elders to Gouchen Palace..."

"The young leader of the Immortal Alliance is now in Gouchen Palace. You can tell what Lu Wushan is thinking at a glance."

At this time, a tall man in a silk robe with an ordinary face spoke.

There were many people around him, including Qi Qingxuan, Shang Mingyu and others, and the middle-aged man speaking at this time was none other than Shang Yuanji, the former national advisor of the Shang Dynasty.

It has been a while since several people came to Yingzhao Dojo. As a near-sage figure, even Yingzhao Dojo gave him enough face.

Although he deduced from the Yuanji Vairochana Wisdom Book that a person with prosperous martial arts appeared in the Yingzhao Star Region, he did not expect that this person would be the reincarnation of Yingzhao.

After arriving at Yingzhao Dojo and making some inquiries, Shang Yuanji, Qi Qingxuan and others determined Zhou Yuan's identity.

Based on Zhou Yuan's current situation, it is naturally not easy to recruit him for Qi Qingxuan's use.

Therefore, Shang Yuanji and others stayed here temporarily under the pretense of visiting Yingzhao Dojo. Shang Yuanji, who mastered the wisdom book of Yuanji Vairochana, also made suggestions for Yingzhao Dojo. In this part of Hekai Star Domain In every battle, he always had the upper hand.

"Senior Shang means, is it possible that we are going to have a decisive battle with Lu Wushan now?"

An ancestor-level figure from the Yingzhao Dojo who had survived seven heavenly tribulations asked aloud. Although he was older than Shang Yuan, he spoke highly of him with respect and admiration.

"Everything will change if it is delayed. These days, the Star Territory is not at peace. If I am not wrong, Jiang Lan, the young leader of the Immortal Alliance, is probably also thinking about the ray of Lu Wu's soul in Lu Wu Mountain."

"He is now waiting for an opportunity to have Lu Wushan and Yingzhao Dojo fight each other. When Lu Wushan is about to be unable to hold on any longer, he can then help him. Then he can legitimately take possession of Lu Wu's soul as his own." Shang Yuanji looked at him. It is profound, contains wisdom, and speaks unhurriedly.

"Jiang Lan..."

Zhou Yuan frowned and glanced over, but not even Shang Yuanji looked at him.

If you look closely, you will find that there are tiger stripes on his forehead, exuding a faint golden light, and even the pupils are pale golden, making people dare not look directly, as if they are facing an ancient god.

This is the natural sense of oppression contained in the bloodline of Yingzhao's legacy. If ordinary people look at him for a long time, they will even be shocked to the point of splitting their livers and gallbladders.

"Jiang Lan destroyed Chongming Valley alone. His strength is terrifying, comparable to that of a saint. If we fight Lu Wushan at this time, wouldn't it just benefit him?" Some elders are still worried about this. .

"The longer the time drags on, the better it will be for Jiang Lan, unless Yingzhao Dojo really intends to give up Lu Wu's soul." Shang Yuanji said.

"Lu Wu's soul is the only way for me to recover. When I refine it, I can temporarily restore the strength of a saint. With the many foundations of my Yingzhao dojo, I don't have to be afraid even if a real saint comes."

Zhou Yuan said indifferently, "So I am bound to win Lu Wu's soul."

Shang Yuanji smiled and said, "If we want to compete for Lu Wu's soul, we will inevitably face Jiang Lan. With his character, he probably won't let Yingzhao Dojo go by then."

"And Saint Li Ran of Taiyi Sect has become a Saint King, with vast power and overwhelming power. Even if the Yingzhao Dojo can take advantage of Jiang Lan, if Saint King Li Ran is alarmed, what will happen? But it’s troublesome…”

Zhou Yuan's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he looked at him and said, "Since you said this, you must have something to do. If you want to help this guy fight for the luck of the Nine Provinces, you will definitely offend Li Ran. You know you can't do it, but you can't do it." You don’t look like some idiot.”

His words were indifferent and casual, and even Qi Qingxuan, who was a direct descendant of the Daxia royal family and might become the future emperor, was not taken seriously by him.

After all, Zhou Yuan's body was reshaped through the remains of Yingzhao, and Yingzhao's blood flowed in his body. As an ancient god who followed the Emperor of Heaven, the so-called future emperor was really not looked down upon by him.

Shang Yuanji felt strange in his heart. He originally thought that Zhou Yuan, the reincarnation of Yingzhao, would follow the so-called "future emperor" in this life, who was Jiang Lan.

But who would have expected that after arriving at the Yingzhao Dojo, he discovered that Zhou Yuan was not disrespectful in any way even when he mentioned the Emperor of Heaven, let alone that he had any intention of following and submitting to Jiang Lan.

Even after learning that Jiang Lan might compete with him for Lu Wu's soul, he felt great murderous intention.

All these things made him couldn't help but speculate that Zhou Yuan might not be the real reincarnation of Yingzhao, but he just had Yingzhao's blood flowing in his body...

"To be honest with you, I do have a way to kill people with a borrowed sword, to counter the Holy King Li Ran, and to hold Jiang Lan hostage." Shang Yuanji said eloquently.

Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly glowed with golden light, burning like a golden lamp. He stared at him closely and said, "What can we do?"

With his current strength, it is not difficult to break through Lu Wushan, but he has always been afraid of Jiang Lan in Gouchen Palace.

After all, in the battle of Chongming Valley, Jiang Lan became famous and used his Eighth Realm cultivation to defeat the Saint.

If he really breaks through Lu Wushan, Jiang Lan will definitely not stand idly by. If the two of them fight, even though he has all the innate advantages of Yingzhao's legacy and can exert terrifying power, he will never be his opponent.
