Bowing

"Primordial Spirit True Lord, the final realm of the Divine Realm. Cultivators at this stage have divine senses that are powerful enough to cause great interference to the outside world. Their Primordial Spirit, aided by the wondrous flying sword, can lift their physical body and roam freely in the azure sky. Their maximum speed can reach subsonic speed. If the Primordial Spirit controls the sword, the sword speed is even more than three times the speed of sound."

It has maintained a shared spiritual relationship with close-in weapon systems Gu Jinlai.

To this day, he still doesn't know what methods Xin Tianqi used to evade the close-in weapon system's search.

However, whether the True Lord manifests his Primordial Spirit or wields a Primordial Spirit, he must activate the power of his divine will.

Therefore, once they take action, their traces will be impossible to hide.

In addition, given his keen sensitivity to the threat of death, he was fully confident that he could react immediately when the Primordial Spirit True Lord of the Purgatory Sect arrived.

"Um!?"

Just then, Gu Jinlai seemed to sense something and his spirits lifted. "They've arrived."

The close-in weapon system's radar detected a fluctuation of divine thought.

At this moment, Gu Qingmei, who had come with him, also quickly reported, "Ancestor, the Purgatory Sect's forces have reached thirty miles ahead of our army."

She paused at this point, then continued, "There aren't many of them, only a dozen or so, but they are all experts. According to our scouts, the leader... seems to be Lu Dengxian, the sect master of the Purgatory Sect."

"Lu Dengxian?"

It has maintained a shared spiritual relationship with close-in weapon systems Gu Jinlai.

Under the full scanning of the close-in weapon system radar, he detected a total of six divine thought fluctuations.

Of the six divine thought fluctuations, only one reached the standard of Yin Spirit.

In other words, a Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation has arrived from the Purgatory Sect!?

"Are there any of the Supreme Elders of the Purgatory Sect?"

Gu Jinlai have sought this question.

"No."

"Continue the investigation."

This Gu Jinlai.

He couldn't quite understand the Purgatory Sect's thinking.

The Supreme Elders didn't even show up; they just sent Lu Dengxian, a Spirit Transformation cultivator, to lead the team...

Is this a sign of disrespect towards him Gu Jinlai?

Dozens of miles away, Lin Xiao, Lu Dengxian, Lü Zhenbei, Yuan Xizhi, Huo Changqing and their group were heading at an extremely fast speed toward the place where Gu Jinlai been stationed.

At this moment, Lin Xiao, his face pale and even showing a hint of despair, kept saying, "I swear to God, everything I have said is true. The reason why Gu Jinlai today is because he obtained the Heavenly Master inheritance of the Tianyuan Dao. If our sect's Supreme Elder could also obtain this inheritance, he would most likely also be able to cultivate into a Heavenly Monarch. Sect Master, for the sake of the sect, what we should really do now is ask the Supreme Elder to go down the mountain and kill Gu Jinlai, instead of handing me over to Gu Jinlai deal with. If we really do that, how will the world view our Purgatory Sect!?"

"The Celestial Master lineage of the Tianyuan Sect..."

Lu Dengxian glanced at Lin Xiao, a slight ripple appearing on his face. After a moment, he sighed, "Even if what you said is true, your news has come too late. There are only six months left before the Divine Sword Tournament begins. It's too late."

"There's still time! There's still time! Absolutely still time!"

Hearing the sect leader's tone soften, Lin Xiao grasped at a straw and hurriedly said, "Gu Jinlai, it has only taken two or three years to cultivate to the Heavenly Monarch realm. With the foundation of our Purgatory Sect, we are more than ten times stronger than him. Perhaps we can create a Heavenly Monarch in two or three months, which is more than enough to participate in the Divine Sword Tournament."

"So, the sect is going to gamble away the Divine Sword Tournament, which is related to the future of the entire sect, just because of your guess?"

Lu Dengxian glanced at Lin Xiao and sneered, "You take your words far too seriously."

"Sect Master, a broken mirror cannot be mended. A rift has already formed Purgatory Sect and us Gu Jinlai..."

Lin Xiao spoke with earnest concern.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Dengxian snorted coldly, "Gap? What gap is there between us? Isn't it you who has been interfering time and time again? Why did Elder Tan Qingquan take action against Gu Jinlai? Wasn't it because you used the Tianyuan Dao inheritance as a bargaining chip to instigate him? Furthermore, the biggest gap between us and Elder Gu is your relentless pressure and cruel framing of him, yet the sect has not stood up to uphold justice!"

He said sternly, "Fighting among fellow disciples is a great taboo in our Purgatory Sect. You may do whatever you want to outsiders and no one will care, but this rule is the very foundation of our Purgatory Sect. If we don't severely punish those who fight among ourselves, wouldn't our Purgatory Sect be in complete chaos?! Therefore, today, you cannot escape your fate!"

"I..."

Lin Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing that the sect leader had already made up his mind...

In the end, only despair remained in his eyes.

Lu Dengxian withdrew his gaze.

The lineage of Tianyuan Dao.

In fact, Lu Dengxian had used this item to tempt Lin Xiao when he had just captured him, but...

The risk is too great.

First, even if they kill Gu Jinlai, they may not be able to successfully obtain the Tianyuan Dao inheritance.

Secondly, the Celestial Master inheritance of Tianyuan Dao is definitely not as simple as Lin Xiao said, that one can become a Celestial Lord in two or three years? If it were that easy, there would be a glut of Celestial Lords in Lingxiao City now.

After Gu Jinlai, he still has the Gu Clan behind him, and the Gu Clan are extremely loyal to him. If becoming the Heavenly Emperor were really that easy, why would he keep anything to himself?

In reality, apart from those Gu Jinlai, Lingxiao City has never had a Heavenly Lord cultivated by him.

There are no Celestial Masters.

In this situation, thinking of seizing the Celestial Master's legacy from people throughout Gu Jinlai and then cultivating to become a Celestial Lord is simply a pipe dream.

Third point...

This is related to unusual behavior Gu Jinlai.

As an elder of the Purgatory Sect Gu Jinlai, how could he not know that his actions might provoke the wrath of the Supreme Elder?

But he did it anyway.

Given his status, it would be better for him to abandon his Lingxiao City base and hide than to actively lead his army into Chi Province.

He must have the confidence to do this.

In addition, the fourth point is what the Supreme Elder Liu Jingtao said.

Gu Jinlai in Red Wind City, he joined the Purgatory Sect at a young age, making him a true member of the sect. He should be extremely loyal to the Purgatory Sect and regard it as his second home.

If it weren't for the fact that the Purgatory Sect's actions had hurt him so badly, how could Purgatory Sect have escalated to this point?

He thought of those Gu Jinlai, after killing Yang Kan, still chose to claim the title of elder of the Purgatory Sect, and even cooperated with some of the Purgatory Sect's demands, and even...

Even after killing Tan Qingquan, he still offered Taihe City to the sect—it should be noted that the feud between him and Tan Qingquan was actually started by Tan Qingquan.

If Elder Tan Qingquan wanted to kill him, how could he not fight back?

From this perspective, Tan Qingquan was the real culprit who harmed his fellow disciples, while Elder Gu was merely acting in self-defense.

Thinking about it this way...

The ones who are wrong are all from the Purgatory Sect.

Elder Gu never had any intention of betraying the Purgatory Sect.

It was these sect leaders who gradually forced Elder Gu into this predicament.

No wonder the Supreme Elders severely reprimanded him, questioning whether he could still be the sect leader.

From a neutral standpoint, the Purgatory Sect has indeed gone too far.

"We should do everything we can to repair our relationship with Elder Gu. He has been loyal to the sect for over fifty years; it should still be possible..."

Lu Dengxian muttered to himself.

With this thought in mind, soon, the group of demon warriors led by Gu Jinlai appeared in his field of vision.

"Elder Gu."

Upon meeting, Lu Dengxian spoke first, completely disregarding his status as the sect leader.

He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect from afar and said, "The sect has understood your request. After investigation, we have confirmed the testimony of Bai Shu that you sent. The witnesses and physical evidence are conclusive, and the chain of evidence is clear. Lin Xiao has indeed committed the crime of killing fellow disciples, just as Elder Gu said!"

Gu Jinlai, who was considering whether to launch a simultaneous attack with several close-in weapon systems to blast Lu Dengxian, the Purgatory Sect, was slightly taken aback upon hearing these words.

"What?"

He almost thought he had misheard.

Lu Dengxian's next words proved that he was not hallucinating.

"Lin Xiao's crimes have been confirmed. Originally, we planned to deal with him according to the sect rules, but considering the various persecutions Lin Xiao has inflicted on Elder Gu during this period, and taking into account Elder Gu's personal feelings, we brought him here and handed him over to Elder Gu to deal with personally."

Lu said casually, waving his hand.

An elder stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Jinlai, and brought up Lin Xiao, who was severely injured and pale-faced.

This scene...

This left Gu Jinlai somewhat bewildered.

He even led his troops to invade the border and stormed into Chi Province.

But the result was...

You, such a large Purgatory Sect, actually chickened out?

"Elder Gu?"

The elder who had led Lin Xiao forward looked at the unmoved Gu Jinlai and couldn't help but call out.

Gu Jinlai at Lin Xiao, whose face was pale and who knew he would surely die if he fell into Gu Jinlai's hands, Gu Jinlai wondered if Lin Xiao had taken some forbidden drug that would greatly increase his power, and if he would just kill him when he got close.

But his artistic conception didn't offer any warning.

"Sect Leader Lu, is it true that you're handing Lin Xiao over to me to deal with?"

This Gu Jinlai.

"Nature."

Lu Dengxian nodded. "Harming fellow disciples, and not just once, is a capital offense according to sect regulations. Even if Elder Gu kills Lin Xiao directly, we will have no objection."

Is that so?

Gu Jinlai stared at the group for a while, trying to figure out what they were up to.

At the same time, he gave Su Nanxing a wink.

Su Nanxing immediately stepped forward and took Lin Xiao from the elder's hands.

"Elder Gu..."

Lin Xiao watched Gu Jinlai approach, forcing a smile, "I know the mistakes I've made are unforgivable, and I hope to spend the rest of my life atoneing for my sins. Elder Gu has been fighting in the east and west, and he doesn't have many Spirit Refining left. From this day forward, I wish..."

"Call out!"

Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, the close-in weapon system, which had maintained a state of shared spirit Gu Jinlai, slightly twitched.

The next moment, the gun barrel spun rapidly, and a burst of intense flames erupted.

"No..."

The despair in Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly reached its peak.

Severely wounded, he had no time to react to the sudden fire from the close-in weapon system.

"Sizzle!"

Less than a second after the close-in weapon system fired, before the ejected metal casings even hit the ground, his body was torn to shreds by the violent torrent of metal.

Looking at Lin Xiao, who had been blasted into a bloody mist, Gu Jinlai muttered to himself in surprise, "There really wasn't a conspiracy?"

So...

The Purgatory Sect has bowed its head!?
