Despicable Schemes, a False Heart!
Qin Lu held the treasure and bowed in gratitude, as if he were truly overwhelmed by the Great Yang Dao Ancestor. He was almost ready to kneel down and give his life for the cause.
The other three immortals also looked at Qin Lu with a hint of envy!
Everyone was marveling at Qin Lu's good Fortune Dao in obtaining such a treasure, but little did they know that Qin Lu harbored a silent grudge against the Great Yang Dao Ancestor...
If it weren't for his low cultivation level, he would have killed this Great Yang Dao Ancestor right now!
Even towards the Divine Court, Qin Lu couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted. They were truly hypocritical and scheming!
This Great Yang Dao Ancestor has truly played his cards well. He first brought up his status as a Soul Immortal Soul Immortal, subtly implying that the Samsara Underworld is hunting down True Immortal of the Soul Dao...
In other words, now that your identity has been exposed, if you don't submit to the Divine Court, he will spread the news and make you a target of the Ming Wang's pursuit!
Then, when the matter of the Grand Yin Hall was mentioned, it was said that he was young and fearless, which was to guide him and tell Qin Lu that only he, the Great Yang Dao Ancestor, could protect the Qin Humans!
Finally, he bestowed upon her a great treasure, and made sure so many people witnessed it.
This is spreading the news to the outside world, marking Qin Lu with the mark of the Great Yang Dao Ancestor, and even the Divine Court, telling all the heavens...
He, Qin Lu, and even the Qin Humans Race behind him, are his people Great Yang Dao Ancestor!
Even if Qin Lu denies this relationship, he can never erase this mark. It seems like he values him, but from beginning to end, it was all a scheme!
Using his identity Soul Immortal to manipulate him, and then using the pretext of killing Moon Immortal to draw the hatred of the Grand Yin Hall, this is using him as bait to catch fish!
So many years --
So many years have passed, and I never imagined that even after becoming True Immortal, I would still be reduced to a pawn in the Dao Ancestor's game, molded like clay!
That's truly hateful!
But if he didn't follow the Great Yang Dao Ancestor's words and continue speaking, he might not even be able to leave this door today...
This was a calculated move, leaving him with no choice but to swallow his anger and suffer in silence...
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. This junior bows in gratitude!"
At this moment, Qin Lu could only force a smile, pretend to be stupid, and say these insincere words. In any case, he had to get through this hurdle first.
"Not bad, you're a promising young man!"
"I have heard that your four forces, working together, have brought order to the Vast Spirit Star Domain, making this desolate region quite well-managed."
"Having met you all today, I am truly impressed by your exceptional abilities. Furthermore, you have rendered great service to my Divine Court. Young friends, do you have any desire to join my Divine Court?"
Upon hearing this—
The hall fell silent. Qin Lu thought to himself, "They've come after all." The other three immortals all looked grim. They had finally managed to live a peaceful life and had never considered relying on others!
Now, the three immortals understood.
This is an attempt to recruit them; they've received benefits and given face, so refusing would be considered ungrateful!
If they truly submit to the Divine Court, then the Vast Spirit Star Domain, which they have worked so hard to build, will be invaded by the Divine Court...
At the same time, they were also bound to the Divine Court.
What will the immortals of the Grand Yin Hall think when they find out that these people were promoted and accepted by the Divine Court after killing their people?
The Grand Yin Hall will only believe that they deliberately killed Silver Moon Immortal as a pledge of allegiance, and in that case, the Grand Yin Hall's hatred will inevitably be transferred to their Vast Spirit Star Domain...
The benefits are countless, but the drawbacks are crystal clear!
After a brief lull in the atmosphere, Ye Qingzhu stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and handed over a token.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but we juniors are, after all, of the Human Race and Beast Race, and we must prioritize our race..."
"I am truly overwhelmed and have no time to attend to the affairs of the Divine Court. I'm afraid I will disappoint you, senior."
"This token was bestowed by the Dharma Ancestor. We were also ordered by our clan's patriarch to explore the Vast Spirit Star Domain. How could we possibly Divine Court?"
"Please don't blame me, Ancestor Yang; I can only feel ashamed for failing to live up to Ancestor Yang kindness."
Ye Qingzhu politely declined, then brought up the Dao Ancestor of Dharma, one of the six Dao Ancestor of the Human Race, which made the situation delicate...
There's nothing wrong with this explanation.
But after all, it was a refusal of a Dao Ancestor, and even Dao Ancestor have their pride; to be rejected by a mere Mystic Immortal's personal invitation...
No matter what, it's still a loss of face!
The Great Yang Dao Ancestor's expression changed instantly. He toyed with the jade tablet for a moment, then tossed it back, even his tone turning colder...
"Brother Flowing Cloud, it seems I didn't get the desired response today. Let's meet again next time."
Having said that--
A blazing sun shot into the sky, and in an instant, the Great Yang Dao Ancestor vanished without a trace. Clearly, he had been humiliated and did not want to remain there and be laughed at by his old friend.
Flowing Cloud glanced at everyone, shook his head, and then vanished into thin air.
At this point--
The two Dao Ancestor dispersed and then followed Long Yuntian, leaving the Dao Palace of Clouds and returning to the Long Yun Palace...
After bidding farewell to Long Yunxian, the group of four took a detour back to the Vast Spirit Star Domain.
The four found a place to stay and began to discuss the matter without realizing it, because the whole thing seemed rather strange!
No one expected that their simple desire to hunt down a rogue immortal and obtain some fortuitous opportunity and resources would cause such a huge mess...
The Great Yang Dao Ancestor of the Divine Court, the Grand Yin Hall, and the Ming Wang of the Samsara Underworld.
The killing of a Moon Immortal has drawn the attention of three factions, the most troublesome of whom is Qin Lu, due to his identity as Soul Immortal...
He could be targeted by the Ming Wang at any moment!
Although the Underworld of Reincarnation is not as powerful as the Divine Court, it is still a dominant force among all the heavens, second only to the Great Ascension True God King...
There are also nine Yama, all of whom are powerful beings at the Dao Ancestor Realm!
"We're in deep trouble now."
"The Grand Yin Hall is definitely targeting us, but since they don't have Dao Ancestor, if we unite, we still have a chance to protect ourselves..."
"But given the current situation, since we rejected the Great Yang Dao Ancestor's offer of alliance, they no longer need to worry about our lives."
"Now, we are bait in the hands of the Great Yang Dao Ancestor. What happened today will surely be widely publicized..."
"It all depends on whether the Grand Yin Hall takes the bait."
"If the Grand Yin Hall doesn't fall for our trap, or if a new Grand Yin Dao Ancestor is born, then we will ultimately not escape being hunted down and purged."
"This is the situation for all three of us, but Brother Qin is in an even more passive position."
Ye Qingzhu began by explaining the advantages and disadvantages and analyzing the situation, then focused on Qin Lu, and continued:
"This has been going on for millions of years, and nobody has mentioned it."
"Millions of years ago, that Ming Wang had the idea of cultivating a new Soul Ancestor, but it was later stopped..."
"It is said that after the Dao Ancestor of Souls fell, a fierce battle broke out among the Soul Immortal, ultimately giving rise to one Daluo and three Taiyi."
"That one, Daluo of the Soul Dao, comes from the Samsara Underworld and is one of the Ming Wang's personal guards!"
"As for the three Taiyi Soul Immortal Soul Immortal, they are from other races among the heavens, and Taiyi of them is from our Human Race."
"Having failed to subdue the three Taiyi Soul Immortal in the Samsara Underworld, they turned their attention to hunting other Soul Immortal throughout the heavens..."
"This has led to Soul Immortal living in fear and being extremely difficult to find. Although many years have passed and the Samsara Underworld has not made any moves to hunt Soul Immortal, today, judging from what the Great Yang Dao Ancestor said..."
Even in the Samsara Underworld, his wicked heart remains undiminished.
"It's possible that Brother Qin's name has already spread throughout the heavens. If the Samsara Underworld truly intends to make a move, I'm afraid Brother Qin will be in grave danger."
At this point--
Hu He and Ming Qing finally realized that they had been used as pawns by the Great Yang Dao Ancestor. Indeed, such benefits were not so easy to obtain.
Having taken the benefits, they were destined to be used as bait in the schemes of the Great Yang Dao Ancestor. Qin Lu even worse, being forced to submit to the Qin Humans Clan...
If you don't comply, you'll be plotted against to your death!
"And what are your thoughts, everyone?"
"The Vast Spirit Star Domain is a territory that we've worked hard to build up together. Is it really going to be reduced to ashes just because of some scheming?"
Hu He was the first to object. His Winged Tiger Clan was just a small branch within the Tiger lineage of the Beast Race...
The entire clan has only two True Immortal in total!
One is him, who expanded the Vast Spirit Star Domain and strengthened the Winged Tiger Race; the other is the ancestor of the Winged Tiger Race, currently residing in the Beast Race Starfield...
The territory he had painstakingly conquered was now being forced to relinquish, forcing him to retreat back to the Beast Domain—this was something Hu He could not accept!
Ming Qing frowned even more. He was an anomaly in the Nether Karma Clan, and could be said to have already defected from the Nether Karma Race...
The fact that the Nether Karma Race didn't exterminate him is already an extraordinary act of mercy!
He had finally gained a foothold in the Vast Spirit Star Domain, and he was unwilling to retreat just like that, especially since he had nowhere else to go...
If he leaves the Vast Spirit Star Domain and cannot return to his clan, he will truly be isolated and helpless!
"Brother Qin, what are you thinking?"
At this moment, Ye Qingzhu looked at Qin Lu, wanting to know if this rising star had any way to break the deadlock, especially if the other party was helpless...
Then Ye Qingzhu should think about how to drag the Human Race into this mess!
Although the Human Race is not the most elite species, it still boasts six Dao Ancestor, making it an undisputed top-tier powerful race...
At worst, he could just go back to the Human Race and apologize. The Human Race could surely protect him and the Qin Humans Clan, after all, they have three True Immortal!
It's impossible to just abandon them like that.
