t moment, in the midst of this darkness, a deafening... howl suddenly rang out!This is a man's howl, but it sounds like it is coming from a beast.The voice was filled with grief, with resentment, with...As the situation in the Linggu Domain changed, the expressions of the four top powerhouses among the thirteen supreme beings in the Zhutian Collection—Xu Wu, Shen Lian, Feng Ming, and Sha Lu Tianzun—also darkened.

After all, Jiang Yun and Ji Kongfan are the people that each of them has their eyes on.

Before, Lei Yin, Wan Huan and Gu Jia teamed up to fight for Jiang Yun, that's understandable.

Now, even five other factions have joined the ranks against Jiang Yun and Ji Kongfan.

Although this doesn't necessarily mean that these eight factions are all targeting the four of them, this situation is still a disgrace for them.

It's a pity that they just put on a show in front of the Angel of Patrol and all the monks, claiming they wouldn't interfere in the disputes among the Linggu Domain cultivators, nor would they retaliate afterwards. So now they can only suppress their anger, their eyes gleaming ominously at those celestial venerables.

Not to mention the four of them, even Gu Bulao from afar, the previous look of contentment on his face had turned gloomy.

But behind him, a suddenly aged voice boomed: "Though I don't know which one of them is your disciple, you certainly have your style! To offend so many Heavenly Lords at once!"

As for the sound of this arrival, Gu Bulao had no surprises at all. Not even a hint of change appeared on his face. Without turning back, he let out a cold snort and said, "Otherwise, how could I have the audacity to invite you here!"

An old man appeared beside Gu Bulao.

The elder wore a strange black hat upon his head, its brim low, obscuring his eyes and half of his face.

And the other half of his face, exposed to the air, though fair in color, was marred by several deep wrinkles like knife cuts, clearly indicating that he was very old.

The old man asked curiously, "Which one is your disciple"

Gu Bulao raised his chin and pointed at Jiang Yun, saying, "The young one, my fourth son!"

"Lao Si..."

The old man repeated Gu Bulao's address to Jiang Yun, then turned his head and glanced at Gu Bulao.

Beneath the brim that shaded his eyes, a glimmer seemed to flash.

The old man shook his head gently and said, “Lao Gu, it’s not that I’m saying you, but after so many years have passed, how can you still let go…”

"

No more chit-chat!

"

Gu Bulao, impatient as ever, interrupted the elder's words: "I ask you, can one person hold them back"

"The elder then shifted his gaze back to the thirteen top-tier experts, shaking his head and saying: 'I don't know, I haven't formally fought them before, how would I know their strength How many they could hold off!' "

"But since you've rarely spoken to me, I'll make the most of it and cling onto you for as long as I can!"

Gu Bulao glared at the old man with a slanted eye and said, "Don't make yourself sound so noble. Even if I died, you wouldn't!"

The elder cackled and said, "You're immortal, how could you possibly die!"

"Alright, alright, stop with the useless talk!" Gu Bulao waved his hand and said, "Let's get to the point. I need to ensure my disciple's safety!"

The old man shrugged and said, "Well, what are you going to do about it"

Gu Bulao extended a finger towards Gu Yang and the others, saying: "In a while, as soon as my disciples step into the Zhutianji Domain, those few will definitely make their move."

Although it seems that the three of them are protecting my disciples now, the only one who would go to any lengths to help is the person with the Sealed Order!

“That old guy, Slaughter, was just going through the motions. As for Void, he's also being cautious, perhaps he might make a move, but he wouldn't go all out.”

Hearing this, the old man turned his head and looked at Gu Bulao again: "I've found that after so many years, you've even learned to read faces"

How would you know how they would react

Gu Bulao coldly said: "Don't interrupt!"

A person who has been given a death sentence is already at their last breath. Even if they give it their all, they can only stop one person at most.

Moreover, Feng Ming and I have some history now, so I don't want him to die just like this.

Therefore, when my disciples enter the realm of myriad heavens, you must immediately act and take them away, leaving no opportunity for the others to intervene.

"Wait!" The elder raised his hand, stopping Gu Bulao from continuing. "If I take him away myself, wouldn't that mean I have to hold back Lei Yin and the other three as well"

"You're worried you can't beat the three of them, aren't you" Gu Bulao sneered with a smile.

"That's not it at all!" The elder shook his head. "I just want to know, since I did all the dangerous things, what are you going to do"

Gu Bulao had long expected the elder's question, so as soon as his words fell, he reached out and pointed: "I want to keep an eye on him!"

The person referred to as "ancient and never old" is none other than the Heavenly Watcher!

Looking at the angel of the patrol, the elder fell silent for a moment and said, "Old Gu, what is the origin of your four disciples"

"Guarding the heavens is a duty entrusted to someone, and if even he has to take action, then this time we've really played things big!"

Gu Bulao didn't answer the elder's previous question, he only said calmly: "So, I will watch over him!"

After gazing at Gu Bulao for a moment, the old man finally nodded and said, "Then as you say."

"However, we've known each other for so many years. Let me be frank with you. If it's just the three of them, I can protect your disciples. But if there are more people involved, I'm afraid I won't be able to guarantee their safety!"

"Gu Bulao nodded and said, "I believe you! "

After finishing his words, Gu Bùlǎo and the old man fell silent. Both of them turned their gazes toward the Linggu domain.

They too walked out, blocking the path in front of Jiang Yun and Ji Kongfan, their eyes fixed on the crowd with a predatory gaze.

Especially Feng Ping, he was even preparing to run to Jiang Yun's side, but Jiang Yun stopped him with a look.

Jiang Yun really didn't expect that Feng Ping would actually appear in this Linggu domain.

Feng Ping has had some contact with himself in the lower realm and also knows some things about himself.

If those Heavenly Venerables were to find out, they would surely take action against Feng Ping. In that case, even the Heaven-Bestowing Venerable might not be able to save him.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud could only pretend not to know Feng Ping.

Feng Ping was quite clever. As soon as he saw Jiang Yun's gaze was wrong, he immediately acted as if nothing had happened. He just glanced at Jiang Yun with curious eyes before retracting his steps.

Feng Ping's appearance also made Jiang Yun realize that he had ignored the people of Feng Mingtian from beginning to end.

Both his own mother and uncle are very likely to be from Fengmingtian, so naturally he cannot kill people from Fengmingtian.

Fortunately, now that the disciples of Fengmingtian are only nine left, even if all of them enter the Zhutian Jidu, there will be enough spots.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun transmitted his voice to Ji Kongfan: "Senior Ji, we can still use the same method we used to deal with the Eight Departments Heavenly Cultivators in the Lower Realm."

I shall erect a phantom here, let them enter, and then kill them one by one!

Faced with seventy to eighty thousand cultivators at the Heavenly Reverence Realm, the best way for Jiang Yun to both protect Xueqing and others while also killing these cultivators was to use the Voidless Artifact.

However, Ji Kongfan shook his head and said, "Your Wuxu is no longer a secret, and not many people will be fooled."

"Besides, even if we were tricked, it would only attract a small number of people at most!"

That's true indeed!

Although these seventy to eighty thousand cultivators had to consider their respective Heavenly Lords' interest in Xue Qing and Liu Peng, and couldn't unleash large-scale magical attacks, they couldn't simply swarm forward either.

As long as someone goes in and the virtual image disappears inexplicably, others will naturally not be fooled again.

The Mark of Nothingness won't be very effective.

Ji Kongfan said faintly: "You don't have to worry about it. This time, you just need to protect me!"the Golden Armored Demon Ancestor truly transcended time and space to arrive.The Vajra Demon Ancestor suddenly reached out and grasped Jiang Yun's palm, also seizing the Refining Devil Pen.The combine...
