Chapter 502: Confrontation of Taoist Monarchs

"No, this Taoist Monarch must go."

"Wang Yun knows I see her as a dire threat to my plans and wishes to eradicate her completely, so she is risking her life to lure me out."

"However, all of Wang Yun’s reliance lies in that mysterious expert she has recruited, believing they can slay this Taoist Monarch."

"Hmph, that insane woman has no idea of this Taoist Monarch’s true strength. The Heavenly Mountain Seal is merely a Magical Treasure I show to the public. My greatest power lies not in it, but in formations..."

The corners of Taoist Monarch Shan Hai’s mouth revealed a cold smile.

"This Taoist Monarch will meet this mysterious expert Wang Yun has brought, and deal with them once and for all, sparing myself from disturbances to my state of mind and delaying my Golden Core condensation!"

With that said, Taoist Monarch Shan Hai stepped out of his Cave Mansion. In an instant, his figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

At this moment, Wang Yun had already left the Purple Sun Immortal Sect’s territory, traveling around a hundred miles away.

A hundred miles—neither too far, nor too close.

If Taoist Monarch Shan Hai wanted to eliminate Wang Yun and completely eradicate this grudge, this distance would not pose any hindrance to him.

"This is the place."

"Zhen Kong, watch closely. Today, I will avenge you! Taoist Monarch Shan Hai will die!"

Hatred filled Wang Yun’s eyes.

This area was utterly deserted.

Even Wang Yun couldn’t detect any trace of Lu Changsheng’s presence.

However, Wang Yun was certain that Lu Changsheng was hiding nearby.

He was merely waiting for Taoist Monarch Shan Hai to appear.

After waiting for approximately half an hour.

"Whoosh."

From the distant void, a streak of light suddenly shot forth.

Soon after, a divine sense locked onto Wang Yun in an instant.

"Swoosh."

Wang Yun opened her eyes.

"Taoist Monarch Shan Hai, you’ve come at last!"

Wang Yun stared at the familiar figure within the void, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

The figure in the stream of light was, of course, Taoist Monarch Shan Hai.

He glanced around, his expression cold and sharp, before sneering, "Wang Yun, who have you invited today to walk to their death? Have them come out. This Taoist Monarch will slay both of you and eliminate the threat once and for all!"

Taoist Monarch Shan Hai wasted no time with superficial politeness, speaking decisively upon his arrival.

"You know?"

Wang Yun’s expression shifted sharply with surprise.

She had not expected Taoist Monarch Shan Hai to anticipate that she had enlisted an expert’s help, yet still dared to show himself.

Was it confidence?

Or perhaps, was he prepared?

For a moment, Wang Yun felt a flicker of unease, her determination slightly shaken.

In truth, Taoist Monarch Shan Hai had already spread his divine sense across the surroundings, sweeping repeatedly.

Yet, he seemed to find no trace of any other martial artists.

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a voice drifted into Taoist Monarch Shan Hai’s ears.

Soon after, a figure appeared out of thin air within the void.

The figure walked step by step toward Taoist Monarch Shan Hai.

"Such mastery of concealment..."

Taoist Monarch Shan Hai’s eyes flickered faintly.

The concealment technique displayed by this individual was indeed impressive, but so what?

"Who are you?"

"And you dare assist Wang Yun in ambushing this Taoist Monarch?"

A series of names flashed through Taoist Monarch Shan Hai’s mind.

Yet none of them matched the mysterious martial artist before him.

It seemed that Taoist Monarch Shan Hai did not recognize this individual.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this Taoist Monarch Shan Hai seems well-prepared..."

Wang Yun spoke up, offering a subtle reminder.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and replied, "Fellow Daoist Wang, step aside and observe the battle."

"Since I have promised you, I, Brother Lu, shall personally slay Taoist Monarch Shan Hai."

"Moreover, at the level of power possessed by someone like Taoist Monarch Shan Hai, tricks and schemes are meaningless. Only strength can truly determine the outcome of victory and defeat!"

Following that, Wang Yun retreated to the side.

Lu Changsheng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed upon Taoist Monarch Shan Hai. His tone was calm as he spoke each word with clarity: "Taoist Monarch Shan Hai, remember this well! Lu Changsheng of the Ancient Domain’s Heavenly Sect will kill you today!"

"Boom."

As Lu Changsheng’s final words echoed, a powerful aura descended instantly!
