Tongtian and the other two were on tenterhooks.
They feared Gu Changqing's words would enrage Dao Lord Taiji and provoke him into killing.
Yet Gu Changqing looked utterly unconcerned.
If he wanted Gu Changqing's Three Thousand Great Daos, he naturally needed to offer other Dao arts or treasures in exchange.
Wasn't that only right?!
Atop the World-Destroying Mill, Dao Lord Taiji's expression briefly stiffened at his words.
"Oh?"
"Boy, do you feel no fear at all before me?"
This was no interrogation.
On the contrary, Dao Lord Taiji looked even more intrigued.
Gu Changqing's carefree, unrestrained manner-or rather, his audacity that knew no bounds-seemed to interest him all the more.
At that, Gu Changqing replied drunkenly:
"Heh... hic... what is there to fear?!"
"Senior, you're only a wisp of aura here. Presumably, you can't kill anyone, can you?"
"Otherwise... hic... wouldn't killing me and searching my soul be child's play?"
Gu Changqing's words were growing ever more outrageous.
Yet he still looked utterly confident.
He appeared thoroughly drunk, but in truth, his mind might have been clearer than those of Tongtian and the others.
After all, throughout the ages, strength had always reigned supreme!
Gu Changqing firmly believed that the same had been true even in the ancient eras of Hongmeng and Chaos.
Thus, if Dao Lord Taiji truly possessed sufficient strength...
There would have been no need for so much talk, much less for him to request Gu Changqing's arts so courteously.
He must have been subject to some restriction that prevented him from attacking Gu Changqing.
Or, to put it another way, even if he attacked, he might not be able to subdue Gu Changqing with absolute certainty.
At these words, however, the expressions of Tongtian and the other two shifted.
They exchanged doubtful glances.
Dao Lord Taiji,
