NOVPUBFeeling the obscure Qi currents locking him down from all directions, Liang Qiuyu’s face did not betray the slightest hint of panic; instead, it was filled with a sense of helplessness:
"Given that everyone here has already formed such a deep prejudice against my Holy Sect, no matter what Liang says, you will not be convinced. But Liang would like to ask you one thing, if my Holy Sect really were in collusion with those Evil Gods, why then, during this incident, did we not see the uppermost Guardian and Sect Master of my sect personally strike out at you all?"
"Why would Liang still help you break through the Dao Domain of the Three Divine Emperors and then flee back to this place with everyone?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenzheng fell into slight silence.
He, of course, knew that the likelihood of an alliance between the Demon Sect and the Kingdom of Immortals was slim.
But just the thought of the brief encounter with the Three Divine Emperors had caused his heart to become muddled and heavy.
"Martial Uncle, what exactly is going on?"
Yao Wudi couldn’t help but ask again.
Yan Wenzheng looked up at Yao Wudi and then glanced at the Taoist in azure standing behind him before he finally spoke:
"We made use of the Teleportation Array and went to Guangling; upon arrival there, we clashed with the Three Divine Emperors. To our surprise, while they seemed to act independently, their powers could actually merge into one, layering on top of each other. In their Dao Domain, they may not be as powerful as Void Refining, but far surpassed us... and for some unknown reason, they did not incite any repulsion from heaven and earth."
"We sensed something was amiss and immediately joined forces to break through the Dao Domain of the Three Divine Emperors and retreated back here."
"To significantly surpass Immortal Ascension Perfection?"
Yao Wudi showed a look of astonishment.
"The Kingdom of Immortals has already established itself!"
Elder Xia of the Longevity Sect looked grave, his gaze chillingly fixed on Liang Qiuyu:
"Even if the Demon Sect has not allied with the Kingdom of Immortals, today’s situation is still the result of the Demon Sect’s step-by-step indulgence! A heinous crime! In my opinion, we should execute Liang Qiuyu first, and then think of a solution!"
Liang Qiuyu helplessly responded:
"Taoist Brother Xia, why engage in this kind of foolish act that brings pain to the friendly and joy to the enemy?"
"Who’s friendly with you!"
Elder Xia scolded furiously. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
However, Xi Lingbo slightly frowned, glanced at Elder Xia, and then turned his gaze to Yan Wenzheng:
"Taoist Brother Yan, I fear this matter needs further deliberation..."
While they were speaking.
Yan Wenzheng, Xi Lingbo, and Elder Xia suddenly had their expressions tighten, and they all turned their heads to look.
Liang Qiuyu’s face unexpectedly revealed a hint of a smile.
A figure was slowly materializing from the void just outside the Chen State Formation, not far away.
This figure was cloaked in a black robe—luxuriously majestic yet reserved.
With a hooked nose and deep-set eyes.
His gaze carried a sharpness, sweeping over everyone.
As his gaze passed over most, a chill involuntarily rose within them.
"Shangguan Ren..."
Yan Wenzheng, Elder Xia, Xi Lingbo, and others all showed a look of wariness.
The newcomer was none other than the Sect Master of the Primitive Demonic Sect, Shangguan Ren.
He was also recognized within the entire Fenglin Continent as the number one person of Immortal Ascension.
But now, before the suddenly risen Three Divine Emperors, the status of this number one person had become a bit unstable.
Regardless, no one dared to underestimate the other’s presence.
To everyone’s surprise, Shangguan Ren’s expression quickly softened, as he looked around at the people and said amicably:
"My sect has not come here to have any dispute with you all, but to resolve the matter with the Kingdom of Immortals, so there’s no need for everyone to harbor such hostility towards me... Senior Brother Liang."
Liang Qiuyu gave a salute to the crowd with cupped fists, then calmly flew out of the Great Array of Chen State, landing behind Shangguan Ren.
Elder Xia’s expression darkened slightly, not hesitating to bluntly disclose:
"You speak of solving the problem with the Kingdom of Immortals, but adding just you, what difference does it make? Under the combined power of the Three Divine Emperors of the Kingdom of Immortals, and with many Divine Masters, first level Gods, second level Gods... Your Demon Sect also has to guard the north, fending off the cultivators from the Three Continents, you won’t be able to spare many people, right?"
But Shangguan Ren chuckled and said:
"Who said it’s only me?"
"Taoist Friend Xun, please show yourself."
Upon hearing these words, the people present, whether they were from the Wanxiang Sect led by Yan Wenzheng or the Longevity Sect led by Elder Xia, were all taken aback.
Immediately, a flicker of anger kindled in their eyes.
Below them, not far off, an elderly Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator floated shakily into the air under everyone’s puzzled stares.
Even under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he still maintained an expressionless face.
Giving Shangguan Ren a cursory scan that revealed no depth, he then turned his casual gaze to the others and said flatly:
"Taoist Friend Xun greets you all."
