Humans and Dogs Cannot Live Under the Same Roof

Ancestor Luoning emerged from seclusion, steadying everyone's hearts with an immense sense of security.

However, when Ancestor Luoning personally used an Emperor Weapon to divine the Black Robe Man's origins, the result was utter chaos, with only a blurry phantom appearing.

It was difficult to determine the Black Robe Man's origins.

"How can this be? With my cultivation, I can't deduce this person's origins?"

Ancestor Luoning had an immortal demeanor, his beard reaching his knees. His face was ruddy, his spirit vigorous, and his eyes shone brightly like twin stars.

It was hard to tell that he was an old man whose lifespan was nearing its end.

He was puzzled. With his Sage realm cultivation, coupled with an Emperor Weapon, who in the world could escape his divination?

The Sun Moon Cult Master stood behind Ancestor Luoning, his expression grim as he watched the Sun Moon Star Seal spin in the air.

"Ancestor, if we can't divine his origins, can we at least predict where he might go? That way, we can intercept him in advance!" the Sun Moon Cult Master said.

Hearing this, Ancestor Luoning shook his head. "His movements are easy enough to predict, but the opponent clearly possesses a treasure that can block divination. Deeper divination is difficult... unless..."

The Sun Moon Cult Master was sharp. His eyes narrowed. "Unless we have something closely related to him, preferably a drop of blood, or even a strand of hair."

Ancestor Luoning nodded. "Indeed. If an item closely associated with him falls into someone else's hands, and that person also possesses a powerful Magic Weapon, then even a great treasure won't help him escape divination!"

The Sun Moon Cult Master pondered for a moment, then said, "How about... our Cult feigns weakness and tricks him into trusting us, offering resources for peace and luring him here..."

"It's difficult... Given his bold actions, he's likely not a fool and won't be easily tricked," Ancestor Luoning shook his head. "If all else fails, I'll handle it myself. After all, in a few more years, I'll need to enter the Emperor Source to slumber. Before that, I'll expend some lifespan to eliminate this threat."

Although Ancestor Luoning appeared vigorous, he was inwardly frail. With his limited lifespan, he couldn't casually use his Sage power.

Overuse of his strength would rapidly deplete his remaining lifespan.

Therefore, before making a move, he needed to ascertain the Black Robe Man's origins to effectively and directly resolve the root of the problem.

But the opponent was prepared. At most, they could deduce his general movements; his identity and origins were difficult to divine.

"How will we know if we don't try?"

"If he doesn't fall for it, it means our offer isn't enough. Sacred Weapons! Saint King Weapons! Great Saint Weapons! Our Cult has them all. Why would he not be tempted?"

The Sun Moon Cult Master declared with bravado, "Although the opponent is very mysterious, he's likely a powerful figure from a sect our Cult once destroyed, who has returned to seek revenge."

"Someone like that, who has lost everything, might seem like he wants a fight to the death, but that's not the case. Such people are actually easier to deal with!"

"Since he has nothing, let's give him everything. We can provide him with resources, and even offer him a place to belong!"

Ancestor Luoning turned to look at the Sun Moon Cult Master, somewhat surprised. He truly hadn't expected this Cult Master to be so intelligent!

If the opponent was indeed as he suspected, then it was possible he could be swayed.

A powerhouse at least at the second transformation stage was definitely qualified to be courted by the Sun Moon Divine Cult!

As for the Great Elder and Moon Yin Right Emissary who were killed, in his heart, the dead were no longer useful. The living Black Robe Man was far more worthy of being recruited!

If the Black Robe Man could be brought under their banner, the rumors in the Eastern Domain would immediately change.

From mockery, they would turn into praise.

Praise the Sun Moon Divine Cult for its methods and magnanimity, not only for being able to win over the Black Robe Man but also for accommodating him and overlooking his past actions!

Ancestor Luoning believed it was feasible, and he genuinely wished to avoid direct confrontation if possible.

If he were to act this time, he would have to enter the Emperor Source to slumber and become the ultimate foundation.

But currently, the Sun Moon Divine Cult needed a Sage-level ancestor to guard them openly, remaining awake at all times to awe the world!

Ancestor Luoning said, "You handle this. If you fail, then I'll make my move. It won't be too late."

"As long as he shows himself, even if he refuses, we must seize the opportunity. If we can't kill him, we'll at least get a drop of his blood. Then he'll have nowhere to run!"

He planned to prepare for both eventualities.

If the opponent agreed to the peace offering, everyone would be happy.

If he refused but dared to show his face, they would do their utmost to obtain a drop of his blood to divine and locate his whereabouts and origins.

If he neither agreed nor appeared, then he would have to act personally, using his Sage-level power to kill him quickly and minimize the loss of lifespan!

"Leave it to me!"

The Sun Moon Cult Master nodded and said, "Ancestor, please rest. I will find a place that the opponent feels is safe for the transaction, minimizing his defenses."

"I will use an Emperor Weapon to conceal our tracks and set up a net around the area. If he refuses, we will strike first!"

Ancestor Luoning nodded with satisfaction. "Very well, go. I have been in slumber for too long and need to find my footing. A Sage-level being acting in this era will cause immense fluctuations, and I don't wish to attract the attention of Yaoguang Holy Land."

The Sun Moon Cult Master nodded, and after turning, his figure vanished into the Sun Moon Divine Hall.

After he left, Ancestor Luoning's expression flickered, and within his star-like pupils, a vision of a great star falling seemed to appear.

On this day, the Sun Moon Divine Cult secretly released news, letting the Black Robe Man know that they were willing to make peace and that he could name his terms, hoping he would meet them at Qingming Mountain Peak.

This matter was handled discreetly, known to very few, but the Sun Moon Divine Cult was confident that the Black Robe Man would receive the message.

Few would refuse such an olive branch extended by a Supreme Dao Holy Land.

And even fewer would dare to refuse.

But...

"My mother taught me since I was young that humans and dogs cannot live under the same roof."

"Especially you rabid dogs who bite people all day long!"

The Black Robe Man's words were kindly transmitted into the Sun Moon Divine Cult.

Instantly, the Sun Moon Divine Cult's higher-ups exploded!

Some Elders jumped high in anger, their faces flushed red, eyes bloodshot.

This was too much! How dare they insult their Sun Moon Divine Cult like this!

As a Supreme Dao Holy Land, when had they ever been treated like this?

Unlike their anger, the Sun Moon Cult Master's expression remained normal; the Black Robe Man's reaction was within his expectations.

However, he did not give up.

Since they wanted to negotiate peace, a basic attitude was necessary.

The other party had the right to refuse, and he also had the attitude to repeatedly seek peace.

"Although I do not know your identity, I surmise you must have offended us in the past. Regardless, in three days, at Qingming Mountain Peak, the Sun Moon Divine Cult awaits your arrival."

After delivering this message, the Sun Moon Divine Cult fell silent again. No matter how the Black Robe Man taunted them, they remained indifferent.

It seemed they were simply waiting for three days later, at Qingming Mountain Peak, to negotiate with the Black Robe Man.

On a mountain peak.

The Black Robe Man stood there, his clothes fluttering, his hair flying in the wind. His entire body was covered in Yellow Talismans.

These talismans were used to block divination. A single one could block the divination of a powerful figure.

The Black Robe Man felt uneasy, so he took out a stack and plastered them all over himself.

Furthermore, beneath his black robe, he wore Soft Armor, a Quasi-Emperor level magic treasure that could also block divination.

Not long ago, he had sensed an unfathomable power seemingly searching for him, tracking him from the void.

So, he took out a stack of talismans and covered his entire body, combined with the Soft Armor, to evade divination.

He knew clearly that the Sun Moon Divine Cult must have used an Emperor Weapon to divine his location.

Moreover, he had already left the area within a million miles of the Sun Moon Divine Cult, hiding far away.

If he were too close, it would be difficult to evade detection with the might of an Emperor Weapon.

Clever him!

"My son is truly a survivor, preparing so many good treasures."

"Fortunately, this Seat was clever and managed to sneak away with quite a few life-saving treasures before leaving. After thirty years of adventuring, they've saved me from many tight spots, hehe..."

Beneath his mask, the Black Robe Man smiled triumphantly.

He was completely secure!
