314: Good show!

Like a demon's whisper, Teng Qianjue, who was pushing his mana to the limit to strangle his opponent, felt an uncontrollable surge of resentment in his heart for no reason!

This emotion wasn't directed at Murong Jingyang, but inexplicably turned toward Liu Wusheng beside him!

In his mind, various despicable deeds Liu Wusheng had committed in the past to plot against the Teng Family flashed uncontrollably, especially his current interference in the Hu Family's affairs!

If he hadn't done this, perhaps the Teng Family would have left long ago; how could there be all these subsequent troublesome matters!

It's all this person's fault!

"Liu Wusheng, you old scoundrel, go to hell!!"

Teng Qianjue's eyes were blood-red as he roared. The sky full of vines that were originally attacking Murong Jingyang all changed direction, like an out-of-control disaster of wild pythons, ruthlessly lashing toward Liu Wusheng!

"Old Ghost Teng, have you gone mad!?"

Facing the sudden attack, Liu Wusheng was both shocked and furious, hurriedly controlling the fire dragon to defend.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The vines and the fire dragon collided frantically. Wood and fire clashed, erupting in violent rumbles.

"I... what did I do?" After venting his emotions, Teng Qianjue instantly cleared his head and realized something was wrong, but doubt followed.

Hadn't he already taken precautions? How could he still fall for it?

In fact, he wasn't wrong; his previous preparations were indeed quite thorough.

However, Murong Jingyang wasn't targeting his Divine Soul, but his Dao Heart, making his emotions uncontrollable.

Thus, under the influence of the Five Poison Miasma, he was already beyond cure, and his Dao Heart was covered in a layer of Iridescent Light.

Naturally, Murong Jingyang wouldn't give them a chance to catch their breath, and he activated the Five Poison Miasma once again.

"Greed!"

The voice rang out eerily, but this time it was mainly targeted at Liu Wusheng and Teng Qianjue!

Just as he blocked Teng Qianjue's offensive, Liu Wusheng's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the mountain of Hu Family resources on the Teng Family Flying Boat below.

They shimmered with treasure light, and a thought rose uncontrollably.

"These should have been mine! They're all mine!"

Greed suddenly blazed, and he even set aside the anger from Teng Qianjue's sneak attack just now, turning instead to rush straight for the Teng Family Flying Boat.

"Liu Wusheng, how dare you!"

Seeing Liu Wusheng's actions, Teng Qianjue's eyes turned red.

Under the influence of greed, his desire for material goods was infinitely magnified.

He already felt that the harvest from this trip to the Hu Family didn't meet expectations, let alone now that someone wanted to snatch the resources he had already obtained; this was completely like cutting off his own flesh!

How could he allow this!

He immediately lunged at Liu Wusheng, and the two instantly became locked in combat.

"Old Ghost Teng, you stole my things and are still making trouble here!"

Being blocked by Teng Qianjue, Liu Wusheng felt even more resentful, and his strikes became even heavier.

"Heh, what a good show!"

Watching the vine pythons and the crimson fire dragons slaughtering each other, Murong Jingyang showed a look of satisfaction, appreciating this grand play he had orchestrated.

"But it's not enough..."

"Suspicion!"

As the voice fell, Teng Qianjue, who was launching a storm-like offensive, suddenly felt a surge of suspicion and fear in his heart.

He seemed to see all the vines he summoned being ignited by the flames surging from Liu Wusheng's body. The flames, like maggots on a bone, burned along the vines toward his main body, incinerating his Golden Core and Divine Soul into ash together!

He also seemed to see Liu Wusheng grinning hideously as he stabbed a sword through his Dantian from behind while he was weak, shattering his cultivation!

These were like scenes of the future, firmly engraved in his mind.

Although his subconscious told him the other's cultivation couldn't achieve this, he was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

What if? What if the other party was hiding unknown methods?

Consequently, suspicion turned into fear. His whole body felt cold, the vine phantoms he controlled became unstable, and his offensive weakened further.

Liu Wusheng was also invaded by the thought of 'Suspicion'.

He seemed to see his Golden Core, which he had cultivated for many years, being brutally gouged out by Murong Jingyang; he saw the Liu Family Territory reduced to ruins under a single palm strike from Teng Qianjue; he saw his descendants becoming mine slaves for generations.

"No! I cannot die! The Liu Family cannot be destroyed!"

Fear birthed an extreme desire for survival, yet it also caused his offensive to gradually lose form.

Murong Jingyang watched the two men's attacks, which were full of openings due to their intense emotional fluctuations, and a smile touched the corners of his mouth.

"It's about time!"

Seeing the two in such a state, the light in Murong Jingyang's eyes suddenly intensified.

"Formless Realm: Heart Demon Domain!"

He formed a strange and complex demon seal with both hands, and the iridescent colors around him erupted, instantly enveloping Teng Qianjue and Liu Wusheng!

From the outside, one could only see a churning sea of Chaos mist swallowing the figures of the two Golden Core True Persons.

From within the sea of mist, angry roars, terrified screams, ecstatic laughter, and painful wails vaguely drifted out; various emotional sounds mixed together, making one's hair stand on end.

And within the illusion...

Teng Qianjue found himself within the Teng Family Territory. At this moment, the Spiritual Qi here was incredibly abundant. Especially after swallowing all of the Hu Family's resources, the family showed a scene of prosperity.

And he had already successfully broken through to the Mid-stage Golden Core; with these resources, the Late Stage was also just around the corner.

Meanwhile, Liu Wusheng was trembling and prostrating at his feet, offering up the Liu Family with a face full of awe, only begging for a way to live.

"Hahahaha!!"

Seeing his old rival in such a state, Teng Qianjue couldn't help but laugh wildly at the sky, his expression full of smug satisfaction.

However, in the next moment, the scene before him suddenly changed!

He saw the family territory beneath his feet instantly ignite with towering flames, his clansmen turning into charred corpses, and the territory reduced to ruins.

*Puchi!*

Just as his eyes were about to split with rage, a Dharma Sword suddenly pierced through his back and out through his chest.

Then, he saw a hideously grinning Liu Wusheng walk out, saying in a delighted tone.

"I have endured hardships for sixty years just for this moment!"

"No!!"

Teng Qianjue roared in despair and began to frantically attack Liu Wusheng.

Little did he know that by doing so, he would sink deeper and deeper into the Heart Demon illusion, completely unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

Liu Wusheng also fell into another layer of illusion.

He saw that after that battle, the Teng Family retreated in a sorry state, and the Hu Family's resources were completely under his control.

With the help of its foundation, he cultivated a supreme Divine Ability, broke through to the Late Golden Core Stage in one go, and even saw the dawn of the Nascent Soul!

Teng Qianjue and Murong Jingyang both became his most loyal dogs, and the Black Sha Marsh and even broader regions trembled beneath his feet.

"At the peak of immortals, proud above the world, with me, Wusheng, there is heaven!"

Liu Wusheng chuckled, yet he didn't know that in reality, he already looked like a drooling fool.

Murong Jingyang stood at the edge of the sea of mist, watching this scene calmly.

He saw their bodies trembling violently, their facial expressions changing unpredictably—sometimes ecstatic, sometimes hideous, sometimes terrified.

The mana around them also began to run wild, Spells were released uncontrollably and haphazardly, and occasionally they would even blast each other.

Murong Jingyang could clearly sense the violent fluctuations in their Dao Hearts. Various negative emotions were infinitely magnified by the Heart Demon illusion, battering the Dao Heart barriers they had guarded for hundreds of years.

And cracks quietly appeared at this moment.
