NOVPUBUpon hearing Baili Chengfeng’s words, everyone finally came to their senses.
All eyes turned to Gong Yuner, standing next to Xu Zimei.
Although Gong Yuner had anticipated this outcome, her face was still somewhat pale.
The Ancestor had abandoned her, or one could say, had no choice but to abandon her.
Otherwise, they themselves would have had a hard time leaving.
"Come with us," Ancestor Yuelong stepped forward and spoke indifferently.
Gong Yuner remained silent, imagining what she would face next.
"Is there something that we can’t discuss here? Where are we going?" Xu Zimei glanced at Ancestor Yuelong.
He said, "Since everyone is here today, whatever questions you have should be heard by everyone."
"Saint Heir Xu seems to be rather protective of this Monster woman," Ancestor Yuelong mused.
"I noticed that just now, this Monster woman was also reluctant to kill you."
"I am indeed protective of her. What about it?" Xu Zimei retorted.
"Saint Heir Xu, this time, the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace has offended the entire Eastern Continent, including your True Martial Holy Sect," Ancestor Yuelong said.
"Do you perhaps want to stand by this Monster woman?"
"Do you not understand human speech?" Xu Zimei responded.
"I said, if you have questions, then ask them here.
Is that not possible, or are you deaf?"
"Let’s talk about your Extraterritorial Extreme Palace," Array Demon intervened, stopping the dispute and asking softly.
Gong Yuner looked at Xu Zimei.
"Say whatever you know, I’m also curious about the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace," Xu Zimei replied.
"After you speak, I will ensure your safety, just as I told you before. It’s not me you saved, but yourself."
"The Extraterritorial Extreme Palace is located in the Sky-reaching Domain, and within the Sect Gate, there are five Stepped-into-Immortality ancestors," Gong Yuner said.
"As for other beings, they are probably not worth mentioning to you."
"Who is the Palace Master?" Array Demon asked.
"I do not know," Gong Yuner shook her head.
"You are the Young Palace Master and you say you do not know?" Ancestor Yuelong coldly snorted from the side.
His formidable aura pressed toward Gong Yuner.
"You had better confess honestly, to avoid unnecessary suffering."
"I truly do not know," Gong Yuner shook her head.
She said, "From the time I was born, I was selected to become the Young Palace Master of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace.
But in my memory, I had few opportunities to meet with the Palace Master.
And every time we spoke, there was a curtain between us."
"Who founded the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace?" Array Demon continued to inquire.
"Where did those old ancestors of yours come from?"
Gong Yuner pointed at the sky.
"Above?" Array Demon was taken aback, then his expression slightly changed, "Heaven Beyond Heavens, they dare to meddle in the affairs of Yuan Central Continent."
"They dare," Doomsday Scholar scoffed from the side.
"Since the Era of Emperors, True Martial Great Emperor founded a golden age in Yuan Central Continent.
Countless have ascended, our forebears would not allow them to descend upon Yuan Central Continent."
"That is precisely why our Extraterritorial Extreme Palace exists," Gong Yuner replied.
"Otherwise, why would we be necessary, they could directly overpower you."
"Where did those old ancestors of yours come from?" Array Demon asked.
"There are countless Loose Cultivators in this world, recruiting a few Stepped-into-Immortality powerhouses should not be difficult."
Array Demon slightly frowned, indeed, these Stepped-into-Immortality powerhouses reaching the Immortal Extreme find it almost impossible to advance further.
If this means making contacts with people from Heaven Beyond Heavens and receiving their help, working for them is not impossible.
"What is the purpose of your visit to disrupt the True Martial Great Assembly?" Ancestor Yuelong snorted coldly.
"Control you," Gong Yuner stated frankly.
"Control us?" The crowd exchanged glances and slightly furrowed their brows.
"Everyone present holds a say within their own Sect Gate. If I control you," Gong Yuner said, stopping there without continuing.
Because everyone understood what was implied.
The faces of the crowd drastically changed, the consequence was unthinkable.
The idea of wiping them out was now on the table.
"Any more questions?" Gong Yuner asked.
"That’s all for now," Array Demon shook his head, his brows tightly knitted.
"The True Martial assembly is also by default concluded. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take her and leave," Xu Zimei stated.
"Since you’ve all asked what you needed to."
"She cannot leave," Ancestor Yuelong immediately exclaimed.
"Who knows if what she says is true, moreover, regardless, her crimes are unforgivable."
"What then, what do you propose?" Xu Zimei asked.
"I propose, for the time being, we imprison her in our Baili Residence," Ancestor Yuelong said.
"What if I forcibly take her away?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Saint Heir Xu, if you stand with this monster woman, then forgive this old man for offending you," Ancestor Yuelong responded indifferently.
His body was encompassed by a powerful surge of Immortal Qi, pressing down towards Xu Zimei with a formless force.
"Just you?" Xu Zimei replied calmly.
He slowly drew the Tyrant Shadow from his back.
"Let’s speak amicably, there’s no need to get angry over a monster woman," Nine Pills Elder said with a laugh from the side.
"In my opinion, just imprison her in the Baili Residence.
After all, they’re the hosts of this assembly, and a lot has to be decided by them."
Xu Zimei looked up at Nine Pills Elder, a light laugh escaping him.
The Tyrant Shadow in his hand burst forth with a blazing Blade Qi, slowly pointing forward.
"Follow me and see who dares to stop us," he said to Gong Yuner.
"Saint Heir Xu, you are too tyrannical," Baili Chengfeng interjected.
"Even if your True Martial Holy Sect is large and powerful, you shouldn’t provoke us like this. Do you consider all of us from the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect beneath your notice?"
"You do know how to create a scene, using your influence to pressure me," Xu Zimei laughed.
"This matter has nothing to do with the True Martial Holy Sect, it’s just personal.
I’m leaving, who dares to stop me?"
He looked around, the Array Demon directly replied, "I’ve finished my questions, this woman is of no use to me.
Handle it yourselves."
No one else spoke, because they were all waiting for the Baili Family to speak first.
They didn’t want to wade into these muddy waters, but they didn’t want Xu Zimei to just take the person away easily either.
"Then try taking a step," Ancestor Yuelong said coldly.
The aura around him was like Shocking Waves, growing stronger with each wave.
"Today, even if it means a break with the True Martial Holy Sect, I must consider our Eastern Continent and prevent you from taking this monster woman away."
"You’re just stirring up more support for yourself," Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.
"But in front of so many people, it counts as a noble death, I suppose."
No sooner than his words fell, the long blade in his hand exploded with a thousand feet of blade light, directly slashing forward.
"You brat, don’t think that just because you won a victory at the True Martial assembly, you can contend with me," Ancestor Yuelong scornfully shouted.
He casually intercepted the blade strike from Xu Zimei.
The gap between the Divine Vein and Stepping into Immortality was like a chasm.
However, clearly, he had underestimated the power of this strike.
Endless blade light descended, dazzling and brilliant, directly engulfing Ancestor Yuelong.
