First, Suppress the Matter

"Gentlemen, that's all I wanted to say."

Gu De's voice rang out once more.

After saying that, he decisively turned around and headed deep into this desolate land.

Seeing this, Tai Jiuling's expression changed slightly, and he immediately called out.

Why run?

Gu De responded immediately.

"Then you can stay standing there."

After saying that, his speed not only didn't slow down, but actually increased even more.

Tai Jiuling glanced at Li Baimei in the distance, thought for a moment, then turned around and followed Gu De.

Thinking about it, it makes sense; continuing to stand here might not be safe.

The exact extent of the influence of Li Baimei's Power of Time is currently unknown, but his ability to ignore the source of the Immortal-Slaying Power that was just thrown at him provides some insight.

Moreover, while the current distance is relatively safe for the physical body, this area cannot shield the power of divine sense.

If Li Baimei or other powerful figures from the Huaxia Sect were to make a move, they would face the same perilous situation.

"Only,"

"If we just keep going back like this, we can't stay in this area forever."

An idea flashed through Tai Jiuling's mind, but he quickly put it aside.

In any case, at least for now, I've achieved my goal.

Those who cannot cultivate spiritual power have the opportunity to master Power That Cannot Be Controlled.

Even if everyone present were cultivators, they wouldn't completely block the news because of any potential risks.

Once this news gets out, he won't need to do anything else.

As for what to do inside, it doesn't really matter; it's better than the threats outside.

The Huaxia Sect.

Xia Xun watched Tai Jiuling and Gu De leave quietly, without making a move from beginning to end.

Just when the two figures became so small that even divine sense could hardly detect them, Xia Xun's voice rang in his ear.

"Is the Ancestor intentionally letting them go?"

The two people who just came out, whether it was Tai Jiuling or Tai Bufan, were actually already in a very peripheral position.

Even disregarding the ancestor, his strength alone is enough to unleash mental techniques.

If they were to coordinate with other powerful members of the Huaxia Sect, they would undoubtedly inflict substantial mental damage.

However, since the patriarch had not yet made a move, he had been observing the situation quietly.

Xia Xiao withdrew his gaze, looked at Xia Xun, and suddenly asked.

"Do you think the Tai Clan's ancestor Tai Bufan, or is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xun's expression shifted slightly. He looked at Xia Xiao and spoke after a moment.

"It seems the Ancestor has discovered something?"

Xia Xiao nodded and said.

"If this so-called Immortal-Slaying Power were truly so wondrous, the Tai Clan would have surely shifted its focus to it all these years. But the Tai Clan did not do so."

"That skeleton from before must have been that Tai Bufan one. As for why it came back to life..."

At this point, Xia Xiao paused slightly, then looked up at the empty space above.

Xia Xun frowned slightly and asked.

"Could there be someone else secretly involved in this?"

Xia Xiao didn't speak, but instead took a light step.

Brush--

In an instant, the space where the two were located changed, and the clamor of the crowd around them, along with their figures and the scenery, disappeared.

Only two people remained in the vast space.

The next moment, Xia Xiao slowly spoke.

"Since you two are already here, and there are no eyes and ears around, are you still unwilling to show yourselves?"

As soon as he finished speaking, laughter rang out.

"It seems you really aren't the Venerable Baimei that's been rumored to be."

As the sound rang out, two figures appeared in the void.

One was slightly older, while the other was much younger.

Upon seeing the two, Xia Xiao spoke up.

Have you heard about the news that just came out?

Upon hearing this, the younger figure looked at the older figure.

The latter then shook his head and said.

"Of course I know some, but not nearly as much."

Xia Xiao nodded, then asked.

"So you all know all this, yet you don't seem worried at all. Don't you think what was shown just now was real?"

After a pause, Xia Xiao's voice suddenly became meaningful.

"Or do you have other plans?"

"With your strength, you weren't without a chance to make a move just now."

As Xia Xiao finished speaking, the older of the two men smiled and said...

"With the Power of Time, you can even ignore the effects of this so-called Immortal-Slaying Power. Yet you didn't make a move just now, did you?"

"Could it be that they've been waiting for us all this time?"

Xia Xiao did not answer the question, but instead said directly.

That person is extraordinary.

The other person's expression also became more serious, and they nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, it's extraordinary."

"I can't see through it, and I suppose you can't either."

He paused, then continued.

"But he should be a monk."

Xia Xiao nodded without speaking, but gestured for the other party to continue.

"Logically speaking, it's impossible for someone like that to have gone that far inside, let alone bring out the so-called source of the Immortal-Slaying Power."

"But he did it, and he's probably not the first."

"Oh?"

Xia Xiao's expression shifted slightly.

"It seems there were others before this."

The young figure beside him nodded.

"Not long ago, another figure entered the room, which may have been there. Of course, this is just speculation."

Xia Xiao smiled.

"It seems that news of this Power That Cannot Be Controlled didn't just start recently by chance."

Then, he changed the subject and asked another question.

"Your goals are probably not much different from those of my Huaxia Sect."

"Since you're not in a hurry to go back right now, it seems you're planning to suppress this matter."

The old man nodded and said.

"Since you've brought it up, there's room for negotiation."

"In that case, let's join forces and suppress this matter."

"This is your Huaxia Sect's territory, so naturally, it's your Huaxia Sect that came up with the ideas."

After a pause, the old man changed the subject again.

"Besides, those who are unable to cultivate also need to be dealt with by your Huaxia Sect."

Xia Xiao listened Jingjing to what the other party had said, without uttering a rebuttal. Instead, he raised his hand to display the phantom of the source of the Immortal-Slaying Power, and then asked.

"If we have this, shall we share it in half?"

Upon hearing this, the man shook his head and said...

"Get it first, then we'll talk."

"Then it will be up to you, the Huaxia Sect, to decide how to divide it."

Xia Xiao nodded, as if he had thought of something, and asked again.

"Does what you've said today carry any weight on your side?"

The Changzhi man smiled upon hearing this.

"If I couldn't make the decision, why would I be telling you these things?"

After saying this, the old man turned and left, disappearing from the space along with the young man.
