Huo Tianlie walked like a dragon or a tiger, walking alone in the deep and vast Moon Imperial Palace. Wherever he passed, scarlet-golden flames flowed like waves, coating everything in the world in a layer of scarlet-golden flames.
From afar, it looked like a raging sea of fire was surging out from the Moon Palace.
Huo Tianlie's pace wasn't fast, but every step he took seemed to traverse space itself. After a few steps, he left the Moon Palace and arrived at the Fairy Peak, which was hundreds of miles away from the Moon Palace.
The Flying Immortal Peak was said to be the spiritual land where the founding emperor of Yue Nation comprehended the Dao and flew into the sky. The area within a radius of 100,000 miles had long since become a forbidden area of the Imperial Family. Not to mention ordinary commoners, even the descendants of the side branches of the imperial family were not qualified to enter this place.
Huo Tianlie's way of doing things was tyrannical. He didn't care if there was a forbidden area or a forbidden area. He directly forced his way in. The blazing flames on his body were like the sea, and his aura was magnificent and domineering. Although there were guards stationed around the Flying Immortal Peak, no one dared to stop him, and no one could stop him.
Among the group of lofty mountain ridges, the Flying Immortal Peak was precipitous, towering straight into the sky like a divine sword that relied on the heavens. He could be called the King of Myriad Peaks.
Standing at the highest point of the Flying Immortal Peak, Huo Tianlie gradually withdrew his vital energy. The rippling scarlet-golden flames gradually dissipated. The night sky regained its tranquility.
Huo Tianlie expressionlessly stared at the distant night sky amidst the cold night wind. His scarlet dragon robe fluttered in the wind. At this moment, he no longer had the arrogance of looking down on the world. Instead, there was an indescribable loneliness and helplessness in his tall back.
No matter how powerful an expert was, it was impossible for them to completely control their emotions, and it was even more impossible to completely control their desires and minds.
"He actually didn't show up …" Yun Jiutian, who was dressed in green, had appeared beside Huo Tianlie at some point. He didn't have a sword on him, but the strong sword intent between his brows was almost tangible.
Huo Tianlie was stimulated by the intense sword intent, and the Vermillion Bird Blade's Heaven Burning Blade Aura was once again released. The golden flames flashed in the night and were completely retracted by him.
Huo Tianlie felt somewhat humiliated that his strength had been forcefully stimulated by someone else's invisible sword intent. His expression couldn't help but sink, but in consideration of the other party's cultivation and identity, he still forcefully suppressed the anger that surged up within him.
Gao Zhengyang was already his mortal enemy, and he could not afford to offend Yun Jiutian as well. Moreover, Yun Jiutian was now a Saint. Even if he disregarded Lu Jiuyuan, he would not be able to suppress the other party.
"Gao Zhengyang is only twenty years old this year. He is at the peak of his power. If he is in Moon God Capital, there is no reason for him to avoid meeting him."
Although Huo Tianlie had refuted Charm's words to her face, he agreed with her point of view in his heart. Gao Zhengyang was arrogant and overbearing. Although he was scheming, he was not a treacherous person.
Yun Jiutian nodded. He had also interacted with Gao Zhengyang and agreed with Huo Tianlie's opinion. In fact, their plan this time was designed according to Gao Zhengyang's character.
"The Tantric Sect sent news that Gao Zhengyang had left long ago. If he's not in Moon God Capital, then where did he go? "
Yun Jiutian said with some disappointment. The Eastern Divine Region was incomparably vast, so if Gao Zhengyang did not come to Moon God Capital, where else could he find him?
Huo Tianlie muttered to himself, "Since he hasn't arrived yet, we'll wait for the Mystic Moon Sword Discourse to find an opportunity to kill him in front of everyone. I believe that Gao Zhengyang's head will be enough to deter the Six Nations. "
"Kill him in front of everyone?" Yun Jiutian looked at Huo Tianlie meaningfully. "Are you sure you can do it?"
Being questioned in front of everyone was a great insult to a monarch. In the past, Huo Tianlie would have exploded. But he did not have the confidence to say that he could defeat Gao Zhengyang, much less kill Gao Zhengyang.
He said, "I have the Vermillion Bird Blade, at least I won't lose."
Yun Jiutian shook his head. "If you can't win, others will only see your weakness. Who would be willing to listen to you?"
Huo Tianlie suppressed his anger and asked coldly, "Then what do you plan to do?"
"I don't have any good ideas," Yun Jiutian said indifferently. "I have the confidence to defeat him. But I don't dare say that I can kill him. "
Yun Jiutian couldn't help but sigh. "Gao Zhengyang was able to defeat the demons at Nine Ring Mountain. Although the rumors were a bit exaggerated, it also shows his ability. He cannot be underestimated. Hence, I want to join forces with you to kill this calamity in a single move. "
Huo Tianlie fell silent. Although he hated Gao Zhengyang, he couldn't help but to admit that Gao Zhengyang had unfathomable abilities.
"Yue Changkong organized the Mystic Moon Sword Conference because he wanted to borrow Gao Zhengyang's strength to unify the seven countries."
Huo Tianlie was no longer anxious. He calmly spoke, "Teacher Yun, I'm the emperor of the Fire Nation. If I really can't do it, as long as I lower my head and admit defeat, Yue Changkong would definitely be able to protect me. But what about your Dao Sect? "
Although the Dao Sect and Buddhist Sect could coexist in harmony, they were secretly wary of each other. If Gao Zhengyang gained the upper hand, the position of the Dao Sect would be in an awkward position.
Although the Eastern God Continent was vast, there were very few positions at the top. If the Buddhist Sect occupied more positions, there would definitely be someone who would give up. Such a battle also involved the principles of the sect, there was no room for compromise. Hence, Huo Tianlie could take a step back and admit defeat, but the Dao Sect couldn't allow Gao Zhengyang to take the top position.
Yun Jiutian naturally understood this logic. This was why he joined forces with Huo Tianlie, wanting to kill Gao Zhengyang first. If Huo Tianlie retreated now, things would be difficult for him.
Naturally, unless it was absolutely necessary, Huo Tianlie wouldn't take a step back. He had been domineering his entire life, how could he be willing to submit to others? Lowering his head to his enemy was an extraordinary humiliation. What was even more terrifying was that once he lowered his head, the Fire Nation would definitely become the weakest out of the seven countries.
Yun Jiutian muttered to himself irresolutely, "Since there's no way to act in advance, I will challenge Gao Zhengyang on the Mystic Moon Sword Conference Platform. If I defeat him in public, it would also shatter his undefeatable reputation. "
It was very difficult to kill Gao Zhengyang in public, but it was sufficient to shatter Gao Zhengyang's legendary reputation. The human heart was so mysterious. Once Gao Zhengyang was defeated, everyone would realize that Gao Zhengyang was merely made of flesh and blood, he had no heaven-defying abilities.
Huo Tianlie laughed heartily and praised, "Teacher Yun is truly decisive. Not only will it shatter Gao Zhengyang's arrogance, it will also shatter Yue Changkong's illusions. If we join forces, we will be able to control the seven countries. "
Just defeating Gao Zhengyang wasn't enough to control the seven countries. But one had to consider Yun Jiutian's saint-level cultivation, as well as Lu Jiuyuan behind him. Two saint-level experts were enough to suppress all opposition.
Huo Tianlie was naturally very satisfied with this. Although his aura was towering, he actually didn't want to clash head-on with Gao Zhengyang. It was better to let the Dao Sect handle such matters.
"I will defeat Gao Zhengyang, you go and suppress Yue Changkong. Both of us will join forces and control the seven countries. "
Yun Jiutian was a saint-level expert. Since he promised to act personally, he naturally had many requests.
However, the situation of the seven countries was extremely complicated. Huo Tianlie didn't dare to make any promises and could only do his best to ensure that the agreement was fulfilled.
Yun Jiutian and Huo Tianlie were both straightforward people. After a few words, they came to an agreement and immediately clapped their hands to swear.
Huo Tianlie soon left, leaving only Yun Jiutian behind. He was the same as Huo Tianlie, he also liked to look at the world alone. The Flying Immortal Peak was clearly a holy land for sightseeing. Given Yun Jiutian's vision, he could even see the entire Moon God Capital.
Under the night sky, the Moon God Capital was filled with twinkling stars, appearing extremely lively.
Yun Jiutian didn't speak the truth earlier. This time around, he was fighting against Gao Zhengyang. His true goal was to retrieve the Taiji sword imprint. To prevent the sect's divine weapon from being lost. Thinking of the good news, Yun Jiutian felt more joyful and relaxed in his heart. A warm smile also appeared on his face.
"Teacher Yun seems to be in a good mood. I wonder if you can analyze it and make me happy …"
A teasing voice drifted over from behind Yun Jiutian, causing the unprepared Yun Jiutian to jump in fright. The smile on his face instantly froze like a statue.
"Who is it?!" Yun Jiutian roared in a low voice as sword intent erupted from the center of his brows. A formless and colorless sword qi instantly swept out in a radius of several hundred feet. Within the range of the sword qi, all living beings were silently turned into dust. Even the surrounding rocks and plants were turned to dust by the sword qi.
