They Banned Me?
In the All Wonders Heaven, the lingering echoes of the resounding verses still linger, while the crimson figure has already returned to its Fruition Status, silently suspended in the vast void.
The Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord spoke first, his deep voice echoing endlessly. "Blood Sea True Lord, I will remember this kindness."
He paused slightly, and a rare hint of solemnity appeared on his usually cold and hard face. "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist risking his life to awaken us, Xuanhuang would probably already be destroyed."
Qingyuan True Lord Wendao nodded slightly, and a hint of respect appeared in his clear, infant-like eyes.
His right hand remained on the sword hilt, but he bowed slightly, performing the highest form of courtesy among sword cultivators. "Qingyuan of the Sword Pavilion, thank you, fellow Daoist."
The sound was clear and melodious, like the ringing of a sword, echoing throughout the All Wonders Heaven.
The Sage Wang's face was filled with emotion.
He clasped his hands together in front of him and bowed deeply, the wide sleeves of his Confucian robe hanging down like two clouds reaching the sky. "The Hao Ran Holy Land, we are deeply grateful to you for saving our lives, fellow Daoist."
The Nine Revolutions Undying True Lord grinned, a smile that was both bold and unrestrained, yet also carried a hint of sincere gratitude.
He raised his colossal hand, powerful enough to tear through the void, and clasped it deeply in the direction of the Youquan: "Nine Revolutions of the Hegemon Sect, thank you, fellow Daoist!"
The Nine Nethers Sun-Devouring True Lord did not speak, but his dark green eyes gazed deeply at Youquan.
The other True Lord also spoke, some expressing their gratitude solemnly, others nodding slightly.
In the All Wonders Heaven, the high-hanging Fruition Status trembled slightly, as if paying the highest tribute to the righteous act of this newly promoted True Lord.
Youquan stood atop the Blood Sea Fruition Status, his left hand Avici and his right hand Yuantu, the illusory Blood Sea around him churning ceaselessly.
He gazed at the True Lord were thanking him, and a sinister smile slowly crept onto his lips.
Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities.
He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it echoed clearly throughout the All Wonders Heaven: "What I have saved is not only you fellow Daoists, but also this Xuanhuang Home Realm."
"Even more" 7
He paused slightly, a glint of light, known only to himself, flashing deep within his blood-red eyes. "My own Dao Path."
After expressing their gratitude, the expressions of the True Lord gradually became solemn.
Because they know that the real challenges are just beginning.
"As you all have seen, the current situation is as it is."
Qingyuan True Lord Wendao spoke first, his clear, infant-like eyes sweeping over every True Lord present. His voice was clear and melodious like the sound of a sword, yet it carried a hint of solemnity. "Although that being has retreated, the cause and effect of this world has been stirred up."
The war between good and evil has begun, and it cannot be stopped.
He paused slightly, his gaze falling on the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord: "But how to fight requires a plan."
The Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly, "Of course, there must be rules and regulations."
"The True Lord does not participate in the arena; this is an age-old practice, and there is no need to elaborate."
Sage Wang nodded slightly, a deep thought appearing on his aged face.
He stroked his beard and said, "Indeed. When the True Lord takes action, mountains and rivers are overturned."
The best strategy in this battle is to limit it to those at the Foundation Establishment and below.
The Nine Revolutions Undying True Lord grinned, a hint of excitement flashing in his golden eyes, but he only nodded slightly and remained silent.
The Nine Nethers Sun-Devouring True Lord remained hidden in the black mist, his eerie green eyes flickering uncertainly, and he too remained silent.
However, at this moment -
Qingyuan True Lord Wendao again, his voice still clear and melodious, but with a hint of caution. "Not only True Lord."
He paused slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the All Wonders Heaven, landing on the deep blue figure standing below with his hands behind his back. "Great True Person, you shouldn't have stepped into the arena either."
Upon hearing this, a slight silence fell over All Wonders Heaven.
The aloof and cold eyes of the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord shifted almost imperceptibly.
He did not speak immediately, but simply gazed quietly at Qingyuan True Lord Wendao, waiting for him to continue.
Qingyuan True Lord Wendao remained composed and slowly said, "Fellow Daoists should know the combat strength of the Holy Sect sect leader below."
"Guan Sihai was reduced to ashes before he could even make a single move."
"He bestowed titles upon hundreds of All Saints and Sages of Old of Confucian Dao and Daoism, and took them all away with him."
If this person participates in the war...
He paused slightly, his clear voice still devoid of much emotional fluctuation, simply stating a fact. "The righteous path is doomed to fail."
Upon hearing this, Sage Wang paused slightly, his hand stroking his beard. A complex light flashed in his cloudy old eyes, and then he nodded slightly. "Fellow Daoist Qingyuan is right."
"This boy is indeed too domineering."
The Nine Revolutions Undying True Lord narrowed his golden eyes slightly, but did not speak.
He glanced at the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord and then looked away.
The Nine Nethers Sun-Devouring True Lord remained hidden within the black mist, still silent.
After a moment of silence, the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord spoke slowly, his voice low and unreadable. "What does Fellow Daoist Qingyuan mean?"
"You want to ban my Holy Sect's Great True Person?"
Qingyuan True Lord Wendao met his gaze, his expression unchanged. "It's not aimed at the Holy Sect, but rather—"
"All Great True Person."
"None of them are allowed to leave the stage."
Upon hearing this, something seemed to flicker slightly deep within the eyes of the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord.
But the flash was so fast that it was almost imperceptible.
He said slowly, "That's not appropriate."
Just two words, yet they carry an undeniable meaning.
"Just because I, the Great True Person of the Holy Sect, am powerful, does not mean I should be targeted alone."
"If the Qi Refining cultivators of my Holy Sect are also strong, are we supposed to ban them as well?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Qingyuan True Lord Wendao still refused to back down. "If the Great True Person is not punished, our righteous path will surely be defeated."
"Then this battle becomes meaningless."
The two looked at each other, All Wonders Heaven fell silent for a moment.
The Sage Wang stroked his beard without speaking, his cloudy old eyes darting back and forth between the two men.
The Nine Revolutions Undying True Lord stood silently in the void with his arms crossed, his imposing, demon-god-like body revealing nothing of his thoughts.
The Nine Nethers Sun-Devouring True Lord was hidden in the black mist, his eerie green eyes flickering uncertainly, and he remained silent.
Just as the stalemate was at its peak...
Deep within the All Wonders Heaven, the void rippled slightly.
A figure slowly emerged.
The man wore a dark blue robe, had an ancient face, high brow bones, and narrow eyes with fine, dragon-scale-like natural patterns extending from the corners of his eyes to his temples. His aura was as vast as the sea, yet he did not show any sharpness. He simply stood quietly in the void, as if he had merged with this All Wonders Heaven.
The Eastern Sea Dragon Lord.
The Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord' eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared.
He remembered that the Dragon Lord was not in the All Wonders Heaven.
"What brings you here, Dragon Lord?"
The Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord spoke slowly, his voice still low and unreadable.
The Eastern Sea Dragon Lord slightly raised his eyes, a dark light swirling within his long, narrow dragon eyes.
He glanced at the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord, then looked at the Qingyuan True Lord Wendao, and finally his gaze fell on the Sage Wang.
He spoke slowly, his voice like a deep, cold current, steady yet distant. "I have come here to make a statement."
He paused slightly. "The Dragon Clan supports Fellow Qingyuan Qingyuan's proposal."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the All Wonders Heaven changed abruptly.
The eyes of the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord narrowed slightly.
The squinting arc was so small that it was almost imperceptible.
But this slight change caused the surrounding void to sink slightly.
He didn't speak, but simply gazed silently at the Eastern Sea Dragon Lord.
The Eastern Sea Dragon Lord met that gaze, his expression unchanged.
Within the narrow dragon eyes remained a deep, calm stillness, undisturbed.
After a moment, the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord spoke slowly, his voice still deep, but with a hint of something enigmatic. "This time, the Dragon Clan has joined forces with the Northwest Demonic Path."
"At this moment, the Dragon Lord supports the righteous path's proposal."
He paused slightly. "I don't quite understand."
Upon hearing this, the Eastern Sea Dragon Lord remained expressionless on his ancient face.
He simply said, "The alliance is for mutual benefit."
"Banning the Great True Person is also for personal gain."
"Wudao Daoist Wudao, why think so complicatedly?"
Upon hearing this, the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord chuckled lightly.
He didn't ask any more questions.
Because there's no need to ask anymore.
A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind.
Qi Yun's performance this time was too dominant.
He annihilated Guan Sihai with a single move, and with an imperial edict he took away hundreds of All Saints and Sages of Old.
Such combat power and such methods would make even the righteous path wary, let alone the Dragon Clan.
Nobody wants to see a situation where one company dominates.
Although the Dragon Clan has allied with the Demonic Path, it is merely a union of interests.
If the demonic path completely overwhelms the righteous path and becomes the ruler of the Central Plains because of this great war, then the next one to face will be the Dragon Clan itself.
Therefore, the Dragon Lord chose to appear at this moment and support the proposal of the righteous path.
Join forces with the righteous path to curb the evil path.
To be precise, it was about curbing Qi Yun.
Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord understood this, the last trace of emotion in his eyes slowly faded away.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and calm, carrying a sense of peace that had settled. "Yes."
As the word fell, the invisible tension in the All Wonders Heaven finally dissipated slowly.
Qingyuan True Lord Wendao slightly, his clear eyes remaining completely calm. "Good."
The resolution has been made.
The True Lord said no more, each transforming into Flowing Light and dissipating into the All Wonders Heaven.
Only the Blood Sea Fruition Status remained, silently suspended in the void, radiating an eternal, undying crimson light.
The battlefield below.
A fierce wind howled above the sky.
Qi Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his dark blue Daoist robe motionless, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He was already fully aware of the contents of the discussion that Youquan had relayed to him.
True Lord and Great True Person are not allowed to personally intervene in the battle.
This is aimed at----
Isn't that way too obvious?
Admittedly, this result was somewhat unexpected, after all, he knew that he was now standing at the pinnacle of the Great True Person.
But no one expected it would actually provoke the True Lord's suppression.
This time—it seems I overdid it a bit.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield below...
Almost simultaneously, the Great True Person who were confronting each other received the will of their respective sect's True Lord.
Then, almost instinctively, all the Great True Person simultaneously turned their gaze in one direction.
The gaze was directed at the deep blue figure standing with his hands behind his back.
In that gaze, there was complexity, relief, apprehension, and a hint of schadenfreude.
no way.
True Lord do not interfere in the struggles of lower cultivators; this has been the established practice since ancient times.
But this time, the scope has been expanded to include Great True Person.
Why are they doing this?
It couldn't be more obvious.
Qi Yun felt the dense gazes falling on him, and the helplessness on his face deepened.
He slightly turned his head, looked at the Great True Person, and gave a somewhat innocent smile, "I am indeed somewhat innocent."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
True Person Sansi remained silent.
The corner of Lady Jiuli's mouth twitched slightly.
The gray mist around the True Person Zַhuanlun churned violently.
The three princes of the Dragon Palace looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
All the Great True Person rolled their eyes inwardly at the same time.
Are you innocent?
You're innocent! Who was it that killed Guan Sihai in a single move?
You are innocent. Who is it that has taken over hundreds of All Saints and Sages of Old?
You're innocent. Then who was it that was specifically named and banned by the True Lord?
If we don't ban you, what's the point of fighting?
Let's just declare the demonic path the victors!
Looking at the fascinating expressions on the faces of those Great True Person, Qi Yun's helpless smile deepened.
He shook his head slightly and said no more.
But a thoughtful glint flashed deep within those vast, azure-gold eyes.
The True Lord and the Great True Person do not leave the stage.
So how should this battle be fought?
