Chapter 403 Making a choice
Lu Changjing stopped moving forward. He never thought that the Nine Yin Elephant disciple hiding in the corner would say such a thing.

It's impossible to say that I'm not moved.

Possessing a Nine Yin Body and a perfect body at that, it was definitely one of the best cauldrons for him who also possessed a Nine Yang Body.

As long as he can perfect his practice of the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Art and cooperate with him when Lu Changjing breaks through to the Earth Venerable realm, it will be of great help to Lu Changjing in breaking through to the Earth Venerable level.

Moreover, it can achieve a win-win situation. It will be of greater help to Huang Rongrong in reaching the realm of Earth Venerable. Maybe there is a great chance that she will gain a partner at the level of Earth Venerable who will accompany Lu Changjing for a long time.

Such temptation is indeed huge, but Lu Changjing knows in his heart that for a peerless evildoer like Huang Rongrong who possesses the Nine Yin Body to be willing to pay such a huge price, the danger behind it must be extraordinary.

Behind huge temptation, there must be huge risks. Without understanding the reasons, Lu Changjing would not take risks easily.

After a moment's consideration, Lu Changjing asked doubtfully, "With Senior Sister Huang's talent and aptitude, if she ran into any trouble, the Nine Yin Elephant would not stand by and watch her die, right? Why did she come to me?"

"Because the one who wants to harm me this time is the Inner Xiang Elder of the Nine Yin Elephant, who is also a top figure in the Nine Yin Elephant, and also my master Cao Mei." Huang Rongrong gritted her teeth and the hatred in her words was clearly visible.

Lu Changjing was surprised, and quietly used the Soul Stealing Technique, using the hidden feature to avoid being discovered: "What does this mean?"

"It's come to this, there's nothing wrong with speaking up." Huang Rongrong said bitterly, "Ever since I was accepted as a disciple by Cao Mei more than a thousand years ago, she has taken great care of me, even spending her own resources to help me improve my cultivation, and she has also taken good care of my family."

"I have always thought she was a good master, until I accidentally discovered that she was studying the art of possessing another's body decades ago. Only then did I know that the reason she spared no effort to cultivate me was to possess my body, so that she could reach a higher level and prolong her life."

"Unfortunately, before I could come up with a plan to deal with it, Cao Mei took the initiative and slandered me for stealing her treasure, saying that I betrayed my master and ancestors, and wanted to kill me and even wipe out my family. If I hadn't prepared in advance and used special talismans to hide my aura, I'm afraid I would have been captured and possessed by him."

Through the soul-stealing technique, Lu Changjing discovered that Huang Rongrong was not lying, and this matter was indeed Cao Mei's conspiracy from beginning to end.

From Huang Rongrong's memory, Lu Changjing also learned a lot about the Nine Yin Elephant, including the grudge between the Nine Yin Elephant and the Nine Yang Elephant.

Of course, this is from the perspective of the Nine Yin Xiang. According to the classics of the Nine Yin Xiang, or as Cao Mei said, the enmity between the Nine Yin Xiang and the Nine Yang Xiang was all because of the Nine Yang Xiang.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Nine Yang Elephant and the Nine Yin Elephant were both lower than the Ten Thousand Elephants, and their martial arts systems were just ordinary earth martial arts systems. Although they had endless potential, they did not develop very fast because of their high requirements on physical fitness.

But later on, Nine Yang Elephant had better luck, and a peerless genius appeared, who upgraded the Nine Yang Kung Fu system to the level of a low-level celestial Kung Fu system, and things got out of control after that.

After becoming powerful, the Nine Yang Elephant did not help the Nine Yin Elephant. Instead, it pointed fingers at the Nine Yin Elephant and attempted to make it a vassal force and treated the Nine Yin Elephant's disciples as cauldrons, which the Nine Yin Elephant naturally did not want.

In order to get rid of the control of the Nine Yang Elephant, the ancestors of the Nine Yin Elephants worked hard and finally broke through the shackles in one fell swoop, shattered the targeting of the Nine Yang Elephant, and also ranked among the middle hundred elephants, and upgraded the Nine Yin Gong system to the level of the Tian Gong system.

But until this time, the Nine Yang Elephant was still unwilling to give up his conspiracy. He also wanted the Nine Yin Elephant to abandon his martial arts, not practice the heavenly level of martial arts, but to create a new martial arts system.

The Nine Yin Elephant naturally would not be fooled, and even clashed with the Nine Yang Elephant many times over this. Fortunately, with the intervention of the General Elephant, the Nine Yang Elephant did not dare to use any extreme means, and the Nine Yin Elephant was able to preserve itself until now.

Although we haven't yet understood the reason behind the incident from the Nine Yang Elephant's side, but just from the Nine Yin Elephant's perspective, there are many things to complain about.

Since he wants to seek help from the prosperous Nine Yang Elephant, why can't he tolerate the pointing and criticizing of the Nine Yang Elephant? Moreover, this should not be pointing and criticizing, but guidance.

It is also said that the Nine Yang Elephant suppressed it. At that time, the Nine Yang Elephant had already been ranked among the Middle Hundred Elephants. If it really wanted to suppress a Lower Ten Thousand Elephants and prevent it from developing, it should not be a difficult task. How could it be possible to let it achieve the level of the Middle Hundred Elephants?

Moreover, based on the limited information Lu Changjing knew, there should be serious problems with the Nine Yin Elephant's martial arts system, otherwise the Nine Yang Elephant would not distance itself from the Nine Yin Elephant even though it knew that the Nine Yang and Nine Yin complemented each other.

Just from the fact that the Nine Yin Elephant has been developing for so many years and has been promoted to the Middle Hundred Elephants for tens of thousands of years, and basically there is only one Heavenly Master in each generation, and most of them are only one-star and two-star Heavenly Masters, it can be discovered that there is something wrong with the current practice system of the Nine Yin Elephant.

Not only that, the Celestial Master of each generation of the Nine Yin Elephants has a paranoid personality and behaves a little crazy, which results in the fact that although the Nine Yin Elephants are surrounded by beautiful women, their popularity among the people ranks among the worst among all the elephants.

Many elephants would rather deal with the Hundred Flowers Elephant, which is among the lower ten thousand elephants, than with the Nine Yin Elephant, which is among the middle ten thousand elephants. In fact, if the Nine Yin Elephant did not have a Heavenly Master in every generation, its ranking would even fall among the lower ten thousand elephants, even lower than the Hundred Flowers Elephant.

In addition, the number of Nine Yin Elephant Earth Lords is also declining, and seems to be worse than tens of thousands of years ago.

The huge Nine Yin Elephant is at least one of the Middle Hundred Elephants. The number of Earth Lords among it is only dozens, less than three digits. Many of the top-ranked Lower Ten Thousand Elephants have more than a hundred Earth Lords among them.

Cao Mei is only a four-star Earth Lord, but she is already ranked around the top ten among the Nine Yin Elephants, which shows how serious the decline of the Nine Yin Elephants is today.

Not only in terms of cultivation, perhaps influenced by the new Nine Yin Kung Fu system, the disciples of the Nine Yin Elephant are often sinister and paranoid, acting without scruples, almost like demons.

The higher the Nine Yin Elephant disciple's cultivation level, the more serious this situation will be. The Nine Yang Elephant ancestor was not making trouble out of nothing when he asked them to revise their martial arts system.

The disciples of Jiuyin Xiang are definitely capable of doing such unscrupulous things as Cao Mei, who specially cultivates the furnace and cauldron in preparation for taking over another body.

After understanding the reason, Lu Changjing was also hesitating whether to offend Cao Mei, who was ranked in the top ten of the Nine Yin Elephants, for Huang Rongrong.

Although he was not afraid of Cao Mei, and even with Lu Changjing's current strength, he was able to suppress Cao Mei, so how could he take her to heart?

But doing so would undoubtedly offend the Nine Yin Elephant behind her and easily bring trouble to the Nine Yang Elephant. Even if Cao Mei had no bottom line, that was an internal matter of the Nine Yin Elephant.

The Nine Yang Elephant and the Nine Yin Elephant had always had a bad relationship. It would be bad if this incident led to a conflict between the two sides.

Lu Changjing had just joined the Nine Yang Elephant not long ago, and Cai Chaoan was so nice to him, so Lu Changjing didn't want to cause trouble for him.

It would be fine if he had a relationship with Huang Rongrong, even if it was not a romantic relationship, there is still an explanation.

But now he has nothing to do with Huang Rongrong, and he is not the kind of person who likes women. It is not worth it to offend Cao Mei and Jiuyin Xiang for this. "Prince Lu, my hiding talisman is almost used up. Cao Mei's original body and Dizun's clone are looking for my whereabouts in the nearby sea area. Once the hiding talisman is used up, I will inevitably die."

"Please save my life, Prince Lu, and give me a chance to avenge myself. As long as I succeed, I will do anything Prince Lu asks me to do without regrets."

……

Lu Changjing, who originally had no intention of getting involved in the matter, paused after hearing what Huang Rongrong said.

He immediately sent a message to Huang Rongrong, saying that he would consider it for a few days and would give her an answer before the talismans he had hidden were used up.

Although he said this, Huang Rongrong seemed to understand what Lu Changjing meant. After thanking him sincerely, she stayed near Lu Changjing's palace, as if she was ready to wait here for Lu Changjing's answer.

After returning to the palace, Lu Changjing sent out a talisman and asked Teacher Gong Li to send over the grudge between the Nine Yang Elephant and the Nine Yin Elephant, which was the record in the ancient books of the Nine Yang Elephant, and to keep the matter secret at the same time.

A few hours later, Teacher Gong Li passed the relevant information over, and Lu Changjing then learned the truth about the breakup between the two elephants.

Just as the information in Huang Rongrong's memory, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the relationship between the Nine Yang Elephant and the Nine Yin Elephant was very good. The martial arts systems of the two elephants could only be cultivated to the level of Ten-Star Earth Venerable, and could not be promoted to the realm of Heavenly Venerable, so they could only be ranked below all elephants.

At that time, Trial Island No. 2222 was an important resource of the Nine Yang Elephant, and even the largest trial island controlled by the Nine Yang Elephant, so it attached great importance to it.

The martial arts systems of the two elephants are complementary and highly compatible. By practicing some dual cultivation secrets, one can gain considerable improvement. Therefore, many disciples of the two elephants become partners and practice together to improve.

Things began to change when an absolute genius appeared in the Nine Yang Elephant. In just a thousand years or so, this absolute genius cultivated to the level of Ten-Star Earth Venerable. In the following hundreds of years, he created subsequent exercises of the Nine Yang Kung Fu system, which elevated it to the level of a low-level Heavenly Kung Fu system in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, the ancestor of the Nine Yang Elephant did not keep anything to himself, and showed the new Nine Yang Kung Fu system to the ancestors of the Nine Yin Elephant to show them, giving them inspiration and helping them improve the Nine Yin Kung Fu system.

Unfortunately, the Nine Yin Elephant did not have such a peerless monster. Even with the help of the Nine Yang Elephant, it was unable to create a higher-level martial arts system. It even felt that its ancestor the Nine Yang Elephant was keeping something to himself and did not help the Nine Yin Elephant well.

Because of this suspicion, the partner of the Nine Yang Elephant ancestor had a falling out with him, because the partner of the Nine Yang Elephant ancestor was also a Dizun elder of the Nine Yin Elephant, and one of the top ranked elders.

It's really weird that he doesn't have the ability to create a higher-level martial arts system, but instead blames the ancestors of the Nine Yang Elephant.

However, the ancients said that only villains and women are difficult to raise. Now the actions of the Nine Yin Elephant have only proved this fact once again.

Clearly, the ancestor of the Nine Yang Elephant even took out the martial arts system he had just created for reference, but unexpectedly, the Nine Yin Elephant not only did not appreciate it, but instead felt that the Nine Yang Elephant was keeping something to himself.

Even clay figures have some fiery temperament, let alone the big guys of the Nine Yang Elephant, especially the ancestor who brought the Nine Yang Elephant to Zhongbai Elephant.

As a result, the relationship between the two sides became strained for a time, and the ancestor no longer helped the Nine Yin Elephant to comprehend a higher-level martial arts system, but instead focused on the Nine Yang martial arts system.

Then he spent thousands of years perfecting the Nine Yang Kung Fu system, raising it to a level close to the intermediate Tian Gong system.

After that, through the efforts of generations of Nine Yang Elephant disciples, the Nine Yang Kung Fu system was finally upgraded to the level of an intermediate Heavenly Kung Fu system, close to an advanced Heavenly Kung Fu system.

Prior to this, the Nine Yin Elephant had also created a low-level Heavenly Power system in an effort to achieve quick success, absorbing many evil concepts. Even in the eyes of the Nine Yang Elephant's ancestors, the so-called Nine Yin Heavenly Power system was nothing more than a plagiarism of the power system of a certain evil sect that had been exterminated by the Wanxiang Sect in the past.

The ancestors of the Nine Yang Elephant had also advised against this, but the Nine Yin Elephant not only did not take it to heart, but instead felt that the Nine Yang Elephant was pointing fingers at them and was jealous that they had also upgraded their martial arts system to the level of heavenly martial arts.

The two sides clashed several times because of this, and their relationship became increasingly worse. Seeing that they were unable to stop the Nine Yin Elephant, the ancestors of the Nine Yang Elephant simply ignored it and began to distance themselves from the Nine Yin Elephant.

This is because the ancestors of the Nine Yang Elephant felt that the Nine Yin Kung Fu system had become an evil Kung Fu system. Not only was it unable to be compatible with the Nine Yang Kung Fu system and to be cultivated and improved together, but it would affect the cultivation of the Nine Yang Kung Fu system.

However, this action was equally unforgivable in the eyes of the Nine Yin Elephants. They felt that the Nine Yang Elephants looked down on them, had opinions about them, and even suppressed them. The Nine Yang Elephants were speechless about this.

After all, with the strength of the Nine Yang Elephant, it would be too easy to suppress the Nine Yin Elephant. How could they still be alive and kicking now?

Subsequent developments also proved that the Nine Yin Heavenly Power system hastily copied by the Nine Yin Elephant ancestors did have flaws. After so many years, it is still stuck at the level of a low-level Heavenly Power system.

Moreover, there is usually only one Heavenly Master in each generation, and it requires a huge amount of resources and treasures. With so many resources and treasures, it is enough for other elephants to cultivate several Heavenly Masters.

But the Nine Yin Elephant remained stubborn and the other elephants were helpless.

It's not just the Nine Yang Elephant. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, most of the hundreds of elephants that had a good relationship with the Nine Yin Elephant have now severed ties with it, or even become enemies with it.

A big part of the reason is that the new Nine Yin Tian Gong system is too biased, which will affect the practitioners' rationality and judgment, and make them do some unreasonable things.

The successive Heavenly Lords of the Nine Yin Elephant were almost all synonymous with paranoia. Even the Supreme Elder of the General Elephant had summoned the top leaders of the Nine Yin Elephant and asked them to modify the Nine Yin Kung Fu system. However, the Nine Yin Elephant believed that the Nine Yang Elephant and other elephants were suppressing them.

Seeing how paranoid the Nine Yin Elephants were, even the Chief Elephant ignored them and left them to fend for themselves.

With Jiuyin Xiang's current style of doing things, as he offends more and more people, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being besieged in the end, unless he wakes up before that.

This is not the unilateral opinion of the Nine Yang Elephant. Many elephants have similar views. Only the Nine Yin Elephant feels that other elephants are treating him unfairly.

After learning about this matter, Lu Changjing already had an idea of ​​what choice to make, but before he could make a decision, someone made the decision for him.
