At that instant, Laozi understood Gu Changqing's intent.
Those nine figures he had conjured, resembling heavenly demons, were actually headed for the Human Sect?!
How could Laozi not be horrified?
For any ordinary Dao lineage in the world, this would be a calamity that drowned everything in destruction.
Even for a Saint's Lineage, it was enough to make one's scalp crawl.
"No... Gu Changqing, stop!"
"Nephew Changqing, everything can be discussed..."
Laozi could spare no thought for anything else. His expression changed drastically as he spoke.
Clearly, he was truly panicking.
For the moment, he set aside his hostility toward Gu Changqing.
His tone immediately softened, and he addressed him as "Nephew Changqing."
He hoped this would persuade Gu Changqing to stop.
But it was already too late.
Gu Changqing turned a deaf ear.
This was the price the Human Sect had to pay for betraying the human race.
Gu Changqing would show neither tenderness nor mercy.
The nine demon god-like figures moved with astonishing speed.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they traversed a million li, charging toward the Eight Scenic Palace in Great Luo Heaven with unstoppable, overwhelming might.
How could Laozi remain frozen? With a thought, he immediately sped back to the Human Sect.
His speed was already as swift as lightning.
Yet by then, the Nine Great Demon Gods had already revealed their world-shaking terror within Great Luo Heaven.
All nine figures struck, stirring boundless waves of power that surged majestically and seized the soul.
Rumble!
In an instant, the vast expanse of Great Luo Heaven trembled, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Sand flew and stones hurtled through the air; divine peaks split apart!
The so-called Eight Scenic Palace actually contained nine great wonders, but "nine" represented the utmost limit in the world.
