Complete Control

Chen Yang stood rooted to the spot, his mind buzzing, his spirit completely shaken.

He originally thought Liu Yuyun was his biological mother, but when the truth was revealed, it was all a misunderstanding!

His background was far more complex and secretive than he had imagined; beneath the layers of mystery lay even more astonishing secrets.

After hearing the whole story, Immortal Lord Ziyang stood to the side, his mouth slightly agape, his face full of shock. He remained stunned for a long time before slowly regaining his senses. His gaze towards Chen Yang changed completely, filled with extreme astonishment and solemnity.

He took a deep breath and laughed loudly, "Chen Yang, I never imagined your background was so extraordinary! You're actually a direct descendant of the Primordial Holy Land! Incredible, truly incredible!"

"Regardless of your origins or background, in my eyes you are still my nephew. You can stay in Shengyang Fort with peace of mind. I will immediately have someone prepare the most elegant courtyard for you. Just settle in comfortably!"

After saying this, Immortal Lord Ziyang smiled freely, turned around and strode away. This time he truly left, no longer inquiring about their private affairs, and had no more doubts about Chen Yang's identity.

Inside the room, Liu Yuyun held Chen Yang's hand tightly, her palm warm and her grip taut, refusing to loosen it even slightly. She kept rambling on, recounting details of the past twenty years ago, her words filled with guilt and a desire to make amends.

Chen Yang finally figured out his own background.

It turns out that his biological father is Chen Xiaomo, a top direct descendant of the Chen family in the prehistoric holy land!

Liu Yuyun sighed softly, her expression solemn as she earnestly instructed, "Chen Yang, do you know what the Primordial Holy Land means?"

"Throughout the entire primordial continent, only three holy lands stand at the very top. And the Chen family holy land, from which you derive, is one of them!" "Your identity is something to be known, but you must never reveal it to others. I fear the grudges of the past haven't been settled. Once the people of the holy land learn that you are a descendant of Lord Chen Xiaomo, they will surely send people to hunt you down again, and you will never have peace!"

Chen Yang nodded solemnly, his expression calm: "Aunt Liu, I understand. Thank you for telling me the truth, and thank you for risking your life to protect me back then."

Liu Yuyun looked at him tenderly and softly advised, "Child, since you are not of the Chen family of Tianyun City, then stay in Shengyang Fort and stay by my side for a long time."

"As you can see, although I am not the first wife of Immortal Lord Ziyang, we have been married for over ten years and our love is deep. He treats me very well, and in recent years he has become even more considerate and attentive. With me here, I will definitely protect you, and no one will dare to harm you in the slightest in Shengyang Fortress."

Chen Yang could tell that Liu Yuyun genuinely loved and trusted Ziyang Immortal Lord.

But a lingering gloom hung in his heart—the Purple Sun Immortal Lord had long been possessed by the Moon Clan's secret technique!

He hesitated, unsure whether he should tell Liu Yuyun, who was sitting there looking completely at ease, this cruel truth.

But then she thought again, Liu Yuyun was her biological father Chen Xiaomo's loyal maid, who had risked her life to protect him back then, and she was trustworthy. This huge hidden danger had to be revealed to her eventually.

Chen Yang suppressed his distracting thoughts, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "Aunt Liu, there are too many people around here. Let's move to a private room. I have something important to discuss with you privately."

Liu Yuyun was slightly taken aback, assuming that Chen Yang wanted to ask more about the secrets of the Chen family's sacred land, and immediately nodded in agreement.

The two quickly entered the secret room, isolating themselves from all outside prying eyes and sounds.

Chen Yang stopped beating around the bush and asked in a deep voice, "Aunt Liu, have you noticed any significant changes in the temperament or state of Immortal Lord Ziyang lately?" Liu Yuyun looked blank and frowned as she asked, "Chen Yang, what do you mean? My husband... well, perhaps there have been some changes, but not too many."

Seeing this, Chen Yang knew she hadn't noticed anything amiss and sighed inwardly. To avoid suddenly upsetting her, he suppressed the truth for the time being, waving his hand to soften his tone: "It's nothing, perhaps I was just overthinking it. Thank you, Aunt Liu, for telling me the truth about my background. I understand everything that happened today."

Liu Yuyun didn't think much of it, looking at him tenderly with eyes full of pity: "You can stay here in peace and let me make up for the mistake I made twenty years ago."

"Okay." Chen Yang nodded gently. "Aunt Liu, you have done nothing wrong. I will stay at Shengyang Fort for a while."

Soon, Liu Yuyun personally arranged for Chen Yang to be settled in the most secluded and quiet private courtyard of the mansion, far away from the hustle and bustle of the main courtyard, which was both private and safe.

Alone in the quiet courtyard, Chen Yang immediately raised his hand and set up layers of isolation arrays to seal off the aura and movement of the entire courtyard, preventing any spying or eavesdropping.

After confirming that the surroundings were absolutely safe, he had a sudden thought and summoned Elder Lantian to appear.

Elder Lantian was in excellent spirits and his breathing was steady. In the previous battle in the Dark Abyss, Lantian helped Xiao Daoran successfully take over, stabilizing the situation in the Dark Abyss. He had already gained Chen Yang's trust, and the two were no longer enemies.

Moreover, the Moon Clan and the Chen family, as well as Chen Mingyong, are sworn enemies, irreconcilable. Chen Yang is not Chen Mingyong's biological son, so by all accounts, he has no life-or-death grudge against the Moon Clan.

Chen Yang stared directly at Lan Tian and asked in a deep voice, "Lan Tian, ​​I have a question for you."

"This is Sacred Sun Fortress. As a powerful being at the Innate Dao Body Realm, why did I just observe that Immortal Lord Ziyang's soul is illusory and unstable, already possessed by your Moon Clan?"

Lan Tian was startled and looked at Chen Yang with a look of astonishment. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Master! You've already arrived at Shengyang Fortress?" Chen Yang's eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized Lan Tian's expression. "Judging from your tone, you're not surprised at all? You already knew the truth about Ziyang Immortal Lord being possessed by the Moon Clan?"

Lan Tian nodded solemnly, his tone grave: "Reporting to Master, I was already aware of this. And it's not just Immortal Lord Ziyang alone!"

"The Eight Vajras of Sacred Sun Fortress, a full eight cultivators at the Innate Dao Body Realm, the eight pillars guarding Sacred Sun Fortress, have all been possessed by the souls of my Moon Clan!"

boom!

Chen Yang was utterly shocked, his face filled with horror, and he blurted out, "Your Moon Clan actually possesses such terrifying strength!"

"Since you were able to silently control eight innate powerhouses, why didn't you take revenge on the Chen family before? With your strength, eliminating Chen Mingyong would have been a piece of cake!"

Lan Tian looked bitter and shook his head helplessly, explaining, "Master, you don't understand!"

"These eight innate cultivators, though seemingly possessed by the souls of my Moon Clan, are in reality not under the control of my Moon Clan at all! The one who truly commands them and controls all the Moon Souls residing within them is the Lord of Holy Sun Fortress—Lu Huaiyun!"

Chen Yang looked puzzled: "What exactly is going on? And who is Lu Huaiyun?"

Lan Tian quickly revealed the hidden secret: "Master, this is a top-secret agreement reached privately between Sheng Yang Fortress and my Moon Clan; no one knows about it!"

"Three years ago, Lu Huaiyun, the lord of Shengyang Fortress, made a mistake in his cultivation technique and inadvertently suffered a qi deviation, causing his cultivation level to plummet! He fell directly from the peak of the Innate Dao Body Realm to the ordinary Dao Body Realm!"

"After his cultivation level plummeted, he was filled with immense panic, fearing that his strength would decline and he would be unable to control his eight Vajra generals, ultimately losing control of Sacred Sun Fortress." "To solidify his position and maintain firm control over Sacred Sun Fortress, he proactively approached my Moon Clan and signed a secret agreement!"

"He obtained eight unclaimed Moon Clan souls from my Moon Clan and placed them all into the bodies of the Eight Vajras. However, these eight Moon Souls had already had their independent consciousness removed by Lu Huaiyun beforehand, making them like soulless puppets. From beginning to end, they were controlled solely by Lu Huaiyun and had no further connection with my Moon Clan!"

"Our Moon Clan paid the price of eight elders' souls in exchange for numerous privileges and benefits within the territory of Holy Sun Fortress. I was also involved in this matter back then, and therefore know the whole truth."

After hearing the whole story, Chen Yang suddenly understood.

It turns out that all the strange occurrences and abnormal states of the Eight Vajras in Shengyang Fortress were a conspiracy orchestrated by the Fortress Lord Lu Huaiyun from beginning to end!

"I see."

Chen Yang nodded slowly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is of great importance, please allow me to consider it carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it back into his body.
