Facing

Facing the gazes of a Saint, four Celestial Person, and twenty-six Primordial Spirit True Lord, Lu Zhanxian, Youquan True Lord, Fang Daoqian, and the others standing beside Gu Jinlai broke out in a cold sweat.

Even though these people's gazes weren't immediately fixed on them, but rather on the Gu Jinlai, they still felt an almost suffocating pressure rolling in, to the point that their thoughts seemed to slow down a bit.

Not just them.

After regaining their senses, Gaia, Jin Hong, Mu Yun, and the others also looked towards Gu Jinlai and his group.

They seemed puzzled that they could resist the temptation of the Celestial Scripture and leave.

But then, judging from their tendency to retreat gracefully in the Gu Jinlai, they seemed to realize something and frowned slightly.

Seeing the strange expressions on Mu Yun's and Jin Hong's faces, especially on Gaia, who was Celestial Person being, Blood Demon Emperor Luo could no longer maintain his previous composure.

He slowly stepped forward, stared at him, and said, word by word, " From Gu Jinlai, I don't think I heard what you just said clearly. Please say it again."

"Di Luo".

Gu Jinlai, people have felt the pressure emanating from this Saint-level expert.

However, his expression did not change much.

"Since you didn't hear me clearly, I'll repeat it again: the comprehension of the Celestial True Understanding is complete, and we'll take our leave now. Is there a problem?"

This Gu Jinlai.

Lu Zhanxian's eyelids twitched violently.

His lips trembled slightly.

Too steely.

That's too steely.

They showed absolutely no respect for Di Luo.

This one...

But it's Blood Demon Emperor Luo.

The senior brother of the Heavenly Emperor back then!

Even when the Heavenly Emperor was alive, his words carried considerable weight.

But now...

But he was rendered speechless by Gu Jinlai's words, which was simply...

"Hahaha!"

As Lu Zhanxian felt a tremor in his heart, Di Luo burst into laughter, his voice echoing throughout the hall.

The sound waves echoed in the hall, even causing the less powerful True Lord, who was standing in front of Gu Jinlai, to stumble and almost lose his footing.

Even the True Lord and Fang Daoqian beside him turned pale.

Saint!

If a saint wanted to deal with them, he could kill them in the blink of an eye, and they wouldn't even have a chance to escape into the sky.

Moreover, even if they escaped into the sky, with the saint's higher level of control over the power of heaven and earth, annihilating them would be a simple matter of waving a hand.

To enrage such a terrifying being...

"Good! Good! Good!"

Di Luo laughed loudly, his voice, which sounded powerful yet intimidating, echoed throughout the hall, "Before I convened the Divine Sword Tournament, I made a vow that everyone who could comprehend the Celestial Immortal True Understanding and leave freely after completing it would not be hindered by me. A promise is a promise! Gu Jinlai you want to go back, how could I, Di Luo, stop you?"

He gestured outside and said, "Please."

"Sorry to bother you."

Gu Jinlai.

At that moment, he walked out with Lu Zhanxian, Youquan True Lord, Fang Daoqian, Wuyou True Lord and others.

But...

Standing at the entrance of the main hall were Hai Xiao, a Celestial Person, and Lu Zhanxian Chen, who was one of the top ten masters of the demonic path just a few years ago, along with six Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord. None of them showed any intention of making way for their arrival.

Dilu swore an oath not to harm them.

But what if the person who makes the move is someone other than Di Luo...

In a way, this is equivalent to circumventing the oath he made.

For a moment, Gu Jinlai stopped and turned his gaze to Di Luo.

Meanwhile, Di Luo kept observing the Gu Jinlai.

Not only him, but Wu Tiandi also sized him up.

He recalled various pieces of information from Gu Jinlai.

The most important of these intelligence reports is his battle to destroy Dragon Sparrow Manor and his battle to kill Crocodile Dragon King.

In these two battles, he unleashed a powerful trump card, not only annihilating thousands of elites from Dragon Sparrow Manor, including Huo Yuqing, a peak True Lord, but also killing the Crocodile Dragon King, who possessed the perfected Undying Demon Body, in one strike.

That power...

Ordinary Celestial Person would absolutely be unable to withstand it.

If he were truly released, he might be confident of escaping unscathed, but the other True Lord and Celestial Person in the main hall might not be so fortunate.

Now it's time to deal with him...

It's not worth it.

Thinking of this, he shook his head almost imperceptibly.

Di Luo, who was standing to the side, saw his gesture and suddenly flicked his sleeve. "Let them go."

After receiving the order, Haixiao, Dichen, and the other six Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord stepped aside, but their gazes remained fixed on Gu Jinlai, filled with coldness.

However, he seemed to ignore Gu Jinlai's gaze and walked straight past him out of the hall.

After the intense confrontation between Gu Jinlai and Di Luo, Gaia, Mu Yun, Jin Hong, and others gradually recovered from the immense temptation brought by the Celestial True Scripture.

Mu Yun still seemed unwilling to accept the situation.

There is a deep-seated hatred between their Zixiao Sword Sect and the Sanqing Holy Temple. It is almost impossible for them to take revenge on the Sanqing Holy Temple on their own. Joining the True Immortal Palace, which is formed by the merger of the Earth Immortal Palace and the Human Immortal Palace, is actually not a bad choice.

But Gaia, the Earth Goddess of the Celestial Person status, was unwilling to be subordinate to anyone.

She said directly, "Our comprehension of the Celestial Immortal's True Understanding has ended, and we will take our leave now. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Excellency Di Luo."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Tianxian Zhenjie.

I can't bear to part with it.

But in the end, she managed to forcefully look away with her strong will and quickly walked out of the hall.

He walked even faster than Gu Jinlai, as if afraid that if he slowed down, he would succumb to the allure of the Celestial Immortal's True Insight and agree to merge the Earth Mother Goddess Sect into the True Immortal Palace.

Gaia did the same, and so did Jin Hong. They cupped their hands in greeting and strode away, catching up with Gu Jinlai at the same time. "Lord Gu, wait for me."

Representatives from several major sects traveled together and quickly disappeared from the sight of Di Luo and Wu Tiandi.

This scene made Di Luo's face darken.

Mu Yun seized the opportunity to say, "Your Excellency Di Luo, three years! As long as you agree to release the Heavenly Immortal True Immortal into our Zixiao Sect for three years, we will not refuse the matter of integrating the Zixiao Sword Sect into the True Immortal Palace."

"Let's take True Lord Muyun down to rest first."

Di Luo said expressionlessly.

His disciple, the peak True Lord Di Chen, gestured with his hand and led Mu Yun away from the main hall.

After they left, Wu Tiandi stepped forward and said calmly, "Your plan has failed."

"The time was too short. They spent less than three hours comprehending the Celestial Immortal's True Scripture, and their minds were not fully immersed in it. Our original plan was to let them comprehend it for a whole day. If they had a full day, I don't believe they could have broken free from the Celestial Immortal's True Scripture. Then, I would suddenly take back the Celestial Immortal's True Scripture and make them sign the Nine Sects Unity Plan. They would definitely agree without hesitation. Once they agree, we'll have the pretext, and then our next move will be perfectly legitimate..."

As Di Luo spoke, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. "I just didn't expect that the Gu Jinlai were not affected much by the Celestial Immortal True Scripture, forcing me to take the Celestial Immortal True Scripture ahead of schedule and make a merger request."

"He is a Heavenly Lord, not a traditional cultivator. The allure of the Celestial Immortal True Scripture is naturally less for him than for others, so it is reasonable that he can quickly break free from its influence."

Wu Tiandi said calmly, "Since your method is no longer working, then it's up to me to take over."

What are you planning to do?

Di Luo glanced at Wu Tiandi.

"Our Earth Immortal Palace and Human Immortal Palace combined are far stronger than those seven forces. If it weren't for the fact that we didn't want to weaken our own strength and do something that would hurt our friends and please our enemies, why would we be here exchanging pleasantries with them and letting them glimpse the true meaning of the Celestial Immortal True Insight? Since they don't know what's good for them... then let them be our puppets."

As Wu Tiandi spoke, he clapped his right hand.

As he lifted his sleeve, a centipede-like worm flashed across his arm.

"The God-Controlling Gu?"

Di Luo's pupils contracted. "You actually raised it?"

"I haven't been doing nothing all these years."

Wu Tian Enemy said.

Di Luo frowned slightly. "Although the God-Controlling Gu can control even True Lord and Celestial Person who have condensed their Primordial Spirit, some characteristics can still be seen if you examine it carefully."

"Just prevent them from investigating thoroughly."

Wu Tiandi said, "What we want has always been just a name. When they join our True Immortal Palace on behalf of their own sects, and when the experts of our True Immortal Palace demonstrate the ability to wipe them out with overwhelming force, I think even if they discover something, they will make the right choice."

Di Luo nodded in agreement. "However, this will inevitably weaken the internal strength of our various sects. If the Great Qian royal family and the Three Pure Ones Holy Temple continue to stir up trouble in the shadows, the loss of manpower will likely be even greater."

"Those who refuse to join our True Immortal Palace are not one of us. If they are not one of us, what does it matter if they all die?"

Wu Tiandi said calmly, "We can also take over the forces they occupy, plunder the fortune in the areas they control, quickly cultivate Celestial Person Realm experts, and even..."

"To help you comprehend the undying will and forge an immortal golden body."

Dilu glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Go ahead and do it, lest it affect the oath I made. Let's wait until they leave Orange State before we take action."

Wu Tiandi nodded.

Gu Jinlai and his group quickly left the Palace of Immortals.

As they stepped out of the Immortal Palace, the cold wind outside made Lu Zhanxian, Youquan True Lord, Wuyou True Lord, Fang Daoqian, and the others shiver.

In addition, Gaia and Jin Hong, who had left the Immortal Palace before them, had also fully regained consciousness.

The Celestial Person from the Earth Mother Goddess Cult looked at Gu Jinlai, who appeared calm and confident. While secretly speculating about the power of Gu Jinlai's trump card, he approached with a smile and said, "Lord Gu, I have long admired your name. May I have a chat with you?"

After saying that, she glanced at the Hall of Immortals and said, "I'm afraid this matter won't end so easily."

Gu Jinlai nodded and said, "Agreed."

"After Gu Tianjun finishes dealing with things here, he will return to Tiannan. I wonder if our Xuzhen Tower can act together with Gu Tianjun?"

Jin Hong also stepped forward and said, "Of course, we are willing to offer an important piece of information about Immortal Refined Gold as a token of our gratitude."

"Information on Immortal Adamantite?"

Gu Jinlai at Jin Hong and nodded. "Okay."
