As Chong Guang's words fell, the aura around him suddenly shifted.
Originally, he had perfected his divine abilities, acquiring [Immortal Spring], [Yin Dragon Water], [Fear of Felling], and [Sturdy Flame Furnace], all pointing towards the position of [Overturning Lamp Flame].
However, now, his divine abilities had changed.
The divine light symbolizing [Overturning Lamp Flame] abruptly vanished, like a candle extinguished by the wind, replaced by layers of hazy divine illusions.
"[Essence of All Flowers], [Sea of Sorrow], [Crossing the Bewildering Ford], [Song of Eternal Regret]!"
The four supreme divine abilities surprised even [Ang Xiao]: "Each one is top-tier. Aren't you afraid that Mu Changsheng might directly possess you?"
"That depends on you, my lord." Chong Guang replied with a calm smile.
"Hahaha!"
[Ang Xiao] couldn't help but clap and laugh.
Chong Guang's choice was exquisite!
Because [Wu You Tian], like [Ang Xiao] himself, was also shunned by all the True Lords of the world, not allowing Mu Changsheng to truly succeed through this void.
In such a situation, no one would help him. Moreover, going against [Overturning Lamp Flame], even the previously most supportive Qing Chen Feixue True Lord couldn't possibly assist him. Only someone like [Ang Xiao], who was also opposed to the world's True Lords, had both the motive and the capability to act.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

At this moment, Chong Guang sought out [Wu You Tian], and not a single True Lord would intervene, because compared to him, [Ang Xiao] was undoubtedly more important.
'He's using me as a shield.'
Thinking of this, [Ang Xiao] wasn't angry. Instead, he chuckled lightly: "I do have a way to help you resist Mu Changsheng's attempt to possess your consciousness."
Mu Changsheng was indeed astonishing.
However, in [Ang Xiao]'s eyes, he wasn't someone beyond comprehension. Over the years, how many outstanding talents had he seen?
All have passed!
'Only by ascending to the position and becoming a True Lord can one truly stand firm in this world. The last one was Feixue; this person is almost identical to her.'
'Could he be the next?'
[Ang Xiao] pondered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He still smiled faintly: "I can assist you. But young friend, what can you offer me in return?"
"What you lack, my lord, is nothing but time."
Chong Guang directly pointed out the dilemma [Ang Xiao] was facing. He wasn't actually afraid of Hong Yun seeking the golden fruit. The problem was that just before Hong Yun's attempt, a part of his consciousness had been sealed within the [Southern Heavenly Gate], losing his observation of the present world and missing the best opportunity to intervene.
By the time he realized it, it was too late.
Hong Yun had already passed the initial stage and began to attract the attention of the fruit position. Reaching this point left no time for him to plan and scheme.
This was also the calculation of Qing Chen Feixue True Lord.
But conversely—
"As long as I can help you, my lord, to make up for this lost time, I believe you won't need anyone else's help to break the deadlock."
As his words fell, Chong Guang revealed his bargaining chip.
A radiant light surged from his entire body, and immediately, [Ang Xiao] sensed the source of this light: "[Overturning Lamp Flame]. Corresponding ritual?"
"I take the meaning of [Overturning Lamp Flame], calling it [Reversal]."
Chong Guang said solemnly: "Hong Yun is deeply entangled in your scheme, my lord. I help him break free from a certain death situation. This is the greatest [Reversal], enough to attract the attention of the fruit position!"
If Lü Yang were here, he would surely realize.
That transaction!
Before entering the [Southern Heavenly Gate], Chong Guang had proactively proposed a deal to Lü Yang, asking him to stay within the gate to lure [Ang Xiao].
Undoubtedly, this transaction allowed Chong Guang to truly participate in the scheme against [Ang Xiao], even serving as a weight. Without this transaction, if Lü Yang had rushed through, [Ang Xiao] might have noticed something amiss earlier, triggering a chain reaction.
This was the true purpose of Chong Guang's deal with Lü Yang!
On one hand, it was to lure [Ang Xiao] into the game. On the other hand, it was to add a bargaining chip for himself, demonstrating sufficient value.
"This alone isn't enough to cause Hong Yun's failure in seeking the golden fruit."
"But with this, I am confident in competing with Hong Yun for the attention of the fruit position, delaying him for at least half an hour, which should be enough time for you to act, my lord?"
Chong Guang was enveloped in radiant light, his emotions unreadable.
Another key point of his bargaining chip was that to maintain the ritual, he must not die. If he died, no one could continue to restrain Hong Yun.
The implication: you'd better not play any tricks.
[Ang Xiao] scrutinized Chong Guang, also unreadable, and after a moment, suddenly said: ". Just keeping you alive, I have many methods."
Upon hearing this, Chong Guang nodded: "You can take a gamble, my lord."
Gamble? What a joke!
Once Hong Yun sought the golden fruit, [Ang Xiao]'s thousands of years of planning would be in vain, and his realm would fall. This concerned his path; how could he possibly gamble?
". Impressive."
Looking at Chong Guang, [Ang Xiao] finally smiled and nodded slightly: "In all these years, you're the first to dare threaten me. Truly courageous."
"There is no irreconcilable conflict between us, my lord."
Chong Guang lowered his eyelids: "If you help me, my lord, and I succeed, I can also assist you. This is a win-win situation. It all depends on your choice, my lord."
During their conversation, Hong Yun's attempt to seek the golden fruit continued. Time was limited, and [Ang Xiao] finally set aside his probing thoughts, taking out a candle lamp from his sleeve, lighting it with his magic power. The dim flame illuminated the surroundings, bringing a calming and clear aura.
"This treasure is called [Sun-Shielding Golden Lamp]."
"As the name suggests, it is the fruit position treasure of [Great Forest Wood]. Before the flame burns out, it can temporarily borrow the wonder of [Sun-Shielding] to help you hide your consciousness."
"In this way, Mu Changsheng will be unable to possess you temporarily."
"However, I can only protect you for a while, not for a lifetime. By the time the flame burns out, I should have dealt with Hong Yun's issue."
"By then, I won't mind taking over another [Wu You Tian]."
Chong Guang immediately bowed: "Thank you, my lord!"
As a veteran True Person of the Holy Sect, Chong Guang was well aware that for [Ang Xiao] to say such words already showed immense sincerity.
For a True Person of the Holy Sect, what is the most trustworthy transaction?
It's not the credit of both parties, but whether each gets what they need and whether there is profit. In this regard, both had undoubtedly grasped it precisely.
The Dragon Lord of the previous life clearly failed to grasp it.
Although that was also because the Dragon Lord didn't understand [Ang Xiao]'s true goal, leading to a misjudgment, Chong Guang obviously wouldn't make this mistake.
In fact, in this aspect, he was even more seasoned than the Dragon Lord.
Because [Ang Xiao]'s current need was actually created by Chong Guang. Without him, Hong Yun might not have so smoothly ascended to seek the golden fruit.
Therefore, [Ang Xiao] referred to it as "threatening"!
To threaten a late-stage Golden Core True Lord with a Foundation Establishment body, despite the circumstances, seizing the opportunity was also a kind of ability.
In the next moment, Chong Guang closed his eyes.
A radiant light blossomed from his body, soaring into the sky, attracting the attention of [Overturning Lamp Flame], while his consciousness had already entered [Wu You Tian]!
