A deathly silence hung between heaven and earth!
All living beings had their eyes fixed on Mount Shu.
Just how would today's events end?
Perhaps the answer would become clear now that Laozi had summoned that "Kongtong Seal."
Yet, strangely enough...
Gu Changqing, Ji Ren, and the others all wore peculiar expressions. They said nothing, merely watching Laozi in silence.
To Laozi, however, this meant that Gu Changqing and the others must have been frightened.
"Hmph, Gu Changqing!"
"Have you finally run out of things to say?"
"Then dismiss these tens of thousands of beings at once. This so-called Mount Shu Sword Sect shall cease to exist from this day forth."
Without the slightest hint of guilt, Laozi spoke in a domineering, imperious tone.
As long as Mount Shu's tens of thousands of disciples dispersed, the overwhelming fortune gathered here would crumble apart as well.
In other words, everything Gu Changqing, Ji Ren, and the others had planned would be utterly destroyed.
Laozi's words also left the humans exchanging looks of panic and unease.
"Damn it!"
"Are we humans truly destined never to rise?"
"Even with the Empress Wa Sword supporting Master Ji Ren, he still cannot match the Kongtong Seal in Laozi's hands?"
"I refuse to accept this! I refuse..."
Some humans had even begun growling in bitter indignation.
But just then, Gu Changqing suddenly spoke in a drunken slur.
"Hehe... the supreme treasure of humanity, the Kongtong Seal?"
"To think... hic... that Senior Uncle Laozi actually had this treasure under his control."
The meaning behind his words was unfathomable.
But before Laozi's smug expression could fully spread across his face...
Gu Changqing continued:
"Still... I'd like to see for myself..."
"Whether this Kongtong Seal of Senior Uncle Laozi's really is as incomparably powerful as he claims."
