NOVPUBSeeing this scene, the emotions of those present were truly tumultuous.
Although they had won the competition, they were not happy in their hearts.
Xu Zimei was too strong, so strong that they didn’t even entertain the thought of contending with him.
They each represented their own Sect Gates, an embodiment of a young Great Emperor.
As such, for them and the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect, this life’s Destiny would be quite challenging.
This was certainly not good news.
Some even secretly wished that Xu Zimei would hurry up and die, so that their Sect Gates could have a chance to compete for the Destiny.
Baili Chengfeng watched with an indifferent gaze, showing neither joy nor anger.
He was the first to step forward, looking at the Ancestor of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace to speak, "Everyone, since you have lost, abide by the promise and leave."
"I suddenly feel like reneging," laughed the Ancestor of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace.
"You Extraterritorial Extreme Palace are considered a major force, don’t you even care about face?" someone indignantly said upon hearing this.
"Exactly, reneging on one’s word is despicable."
People started to criticize.
However, the Ancestor of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace obviously didn’t care and said indifferently, "If it’s about face, can you let us assume the Destiny?"
"What exactly do you want?" Baili Chengfeng frowned and asked.
He calculated the time; the rescue forces from the Dan Clan’s elders should be almost here.
He didn’t really need to go to the Dan Family; he could use the Teleportation Array in a nearby city to notify other Imperial Rule Immortal Sects.
From the Teleportation Array to Hundreds Miles City, as long as they held on, there shouldn’t be a problem.
"There was originally one matter, but now it has turned into two," said the Ancestor of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace.
He took several bottles of pills out from the sleeve of his pocket.
He smiled and said, "The first thing, take these pills first, then I’ll tell you.
As for the second thing, kill him."
The Elder from the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace pointed his finger, and it was right at Xu Zimei.
"Ancestor," Gong Yuner quickly called out beside him.
"He spared me just now."
"Yuner, being sentimental in matters like these is a weakness; he has blocked your path to becoming a Great Emperor," the Ancestor of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace said.
"But," Gong Yuner hesitated for a moment.
"Do you have a shadow in your heart, facing him?" the Ancestor of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace asked.
"Kill him, personally end your Heart Demon; in this life, you might still be a possible Great Emperor."
Seeing Gong Yuner remain silent, the Elder from the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace slightly frowned.
He said, "Yuner, you understand, the Sect Gate cannot simply raise you for nothing."
"I know," nodded Gong Yuner.
"Then do as I’ve said," snorted the Ancestor coldly.
Spiritual Energy of stepping into immortality surged around him, bursting forth with a sky-high aura, a vast Immortal Qi enveloping him.
He went straight for Xu Zimei.
The Ancestor of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace stood in the air above Xu Zimei; his overwhelming aura directly suppressed Xu Zimei.
He looked at Gong Yuner and said, "It’s you who must kill him personally, to put an end to your own Heart Demon.
The Palace Master will forgive your defeat."
Seeing this scene, no one around tried to stop it.
Even the Elder from the Baili Family only stood by as a spectator.
No one stepped forward.
Because everyone had the same goal—Xu Zimei’s death.
He was too dazzling; thus, he must die.
Since it was not convenient for them to act, it was the perfect opportunity for the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace to do so.
A robed figure from the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace handed a long blade to Gong Yuner.
Gong Yuner, expressionless, took the blade and walked step by step towards Xu Zimei.
All eyes were fixed on the scene.
...
Gong Yuner slowly stopped beside Xu Zimei, she looked at the man in front of her.
He showed no signs of panic, instead, he was grinning at her.
"He isn’t afraid of dying," Gong Yuner thought to herself.
At that moment, her heart was in turmoil.
The fear that Xu Zimei instilled in her was too great; as long as Xu Zimei was alive, it was difficult for her to compete for Destiny.
Logically, Xu Zimei’s death would be extremely beneficial for her.
However, for some reason, Gong Yuner didn’t want to kill Xu Zimei in this way, and she didn’t even want him to die.
"Take action," the ancestor of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace urged from above.
"Die," Gong Yuner shouted coldly as she grabbed Xu Zimei by the collar, seeming somewhat frantic as she pulled him towards her.
She looked at Xu Zimei mockingly as the long knife was about to stab into his heart.
Suddenly, Gong Yuner whispered, "Kidnap me, it’s your only way to survive."
Xu Zimei did not kidnap Gong Yuner but chuckled instead, "You know, all of you actors are performing on the stage.
Their performances are boring, but you are interesting."
"You’re crazy," Gong Yuner replied softly. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
However, her knife ultimately did not plunge into Xu Zimei’s heart, stopping a few centimeters away.
"Yun’er, what are you doing," the ancestor from above continued to scold.
At that moment, a loud "boom" sounded.
The entire firmament shook as the locked void was assaulted by powerful forces.
In an instant, like a shattered mirror, the void completely collapsed.
"Reinforcements have arrived," Baili Chengfeng said somewhat regretfully.
It was a pity that Xu Zimei didn’t die.
As the firmament shattered, the complexion of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace’s ancestor changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked towards the void.
"Who dares to harm a member of the Dan Family?" a voice called out lightly.
A bald old man with a large bag on his back emerged from the void.
"It’s the Nine Pills Elder, the Dan Family’s ancestor has arrived," someone shouted excitedly.
"What’s going on?" The expression of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace’s ancestor turned somber.
The ancestor of the Baili Family, Ancestor Yuelong, also rose into the air and exchanged greetings with the Nine Pills Elder.
Then he turned to look at the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace’s ancestor.
Just then, the sky and earth changed dramatically, and thousands of feet of flying snow drifted through the air.
A large hand tore through the void, and an old woman in green emerged.
Bringing with her thousands of feet of snow, she submerged the entire Heavenly Primordial world.
"It’s our Chi Family’s ancestor, Nether Venerable," cried an elder from the Chi Family.
Nether Venerable was a war general of the ancient Ice Snow Emperor and the oldest existence in the Chi Family.
"So many years have passed, and yet a small power dares to challenge us, the Eastern Continent," the Nine Pills Elder said coldly.
"Since you’ve come, then stay."
"You think we’ve only come to attack the Baili Family this time," the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace’s ancestor retorted sharply.
He yelled, "Everyone, come out.
Let these members of the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect witness our strength."
As his words fell, a large hand from the southeast direction descended through the void.
It even covered the sun in the sky.
Darkness enveloped, and three figures emerged from the void.
These figures seemed to step out from the ancient River of Time.
Each was surrounded by vast, surging Immortal Qi that soared skyward.
It was as if they were shouldering the heavens and plucking the sun and moon.
