The guards at the entrance of the underground city were still led by Liu Ting. Liu Ting himself was also standing in front of the crowd. Looking at the approaching Gu Yue Lord, his heart was in turmoil. He felt extremely depressed, and even a sense of grievance as though he had nothing left to live for.
What kind of luck was this? What kind of world was this?
Wasn't he just a guard here? There were countless people like him in the whole of Immortal City and Zhenxianmeng, but why did it seem like he was the unluckiest?
The person walking over was not an ordinary person, but an unreachable Demigod Perfected Lord. Even though this Perfected Lord and his Starry Hall were relatively low-key, he was still an existence that cultivators like Liu Ting could only look up to.
To put it bluntly, if he angered this Gu Yue Perfected Lord, she could just find an excuse to kill him with one slap. It would be difficult for Fuyunji to avenge Liu Ting.
What could they do to a Demigod Perfected Lord?
To deal with a Demigod Perfected Lord, the whole of Fuyunji would have to go all out, or they could directly get rid of someone like Perfected Lord Tian Lan. Only then would they be able to seek justice for a small fry like Liu Ting. But was it worth it to do so?
Even though everyone in the world said that all living things were equal, but in this Middle Earth, there were still differences in the lives of people.
Of course, those who could reach the level of a Soul Formation Perfected Lord were all peerless talents. Not only did they have extremely high cultivation levels, but they also had their own poise when interacting with others. Normally, they wouldn't hold a grudge against insignificant figures. But what if?
Liu Ting didn't want to become that 'if' at all. He hoped that there wouldn't be any accidents at all. He loved being alive, and there were still many things he wanted to enjoy. He just had a chance to get acquainted with Young Master Lu Chen, who had a bright future ahead of him. He didn't want to die at all!
Liu Ting sighed in his heart. "If only I could just ignore everything and run away …" Liu Ting sighed. But Fuyunji had always had strict rules. Since they were stationed here, they naturally had the responsibility of guarding. Liu Ting was the leader of the guards, so he was even more duty-bound. If he slipped away, the person who wanted to kill him would be Fuyunji.
In comparison, Liu Ting didn't want to go against the Fuyunji that he was in at all. He wouldn't even dare to!
Thus, he braced himself and tried to put on a warm and respectful smile. He bowed to the Gu Yue Perfected Lord and said, "Greetings, Milord. I am Liu Ting, a guard from Fuyunji."
True Monarch Gu Yue stopped and looked at Liu Ting who was blocking her way.
Liu Ting immediately felt a chill run down his spine. In that instant, he even had the illusion that the wind had suddenly become shrill, as if a huge palm was about to slap him into meat paste in the next moment. Fortunately, after calming himself down, the surroundings seemed to be as calm as before.
Liu Ting sneaked a glance at his surroundings and discovered that Gu Yue Supreme's expression was calm and composed, without any signs of anger. However, the Floating Clouds Division guards behind him had all silently retreated a few steps back, causing Liu Ting to stand out in front of Gu Yue Supreme all of a sudden, making him stand out in front of Gu Yue Supreme.
"These bastards!" Liu Ting was furious. He secretly swore that if he could survive today, he would go back and teach these unreliable subordinates a lesson. He would torture them until they were half dead to vent his anger.
But now was not the time to vent his anger. There was still a terrifying Demigod Perfected Lord standing in front of him. Liu Ting revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. He laughed dryly and said, "Milord, this … this place is guarded by Fuyunji. Our sect's Hall Leader Xue personally told us that unless it is True Monarch Tian Lan or herself, no one is allowed to enter the underground cave."
True Monarch Gu Yue frowned and looked at Liu Ting.
As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, Liu Ting felt as if his body had fallen into an ice cellar. Even his voice was slightly trembling. At this time, Liu Ting did not know if it was the strict rules of Fuyunji that were suppressing him or if he was too afraid and forgot to escape.
Could it be that he was really so unlucky that he would die here today?
Just as Liu Ting was letting his imagination run wild, he suddenly heard Gu Yue Perfected Monarch say with an indifferent expression, "I've gone down several times with your Perfected Monarch Tian Lan, including a while ago when our two halls were stationed here together. Why, now you won't even let me go? "
"Hmm?" Liu Ting was first shocked, then happy. He was shocked that this True Monarch seemed to be determined to go down to the underground cave. Then he was overjoyed that True Monarch Gu Yue seemed to be in a good mood and was actually willing to be reasonable!
It was good that she was willing to be reasonable!
Liu Ting's spirit was lifted and his expression became even more respectful. He bowed towards True Monarch Gu Yue and tried his best to show his obedience and respect. Then he said softly, "Reporting to my Lord, this is indeed not because I have the guts to make things difficult for you, but because it is the rules set by the higher-ups. You see, with your status, it shouldn't be difficult for you to know the rules of our Fuyunji. Although I absolutely do not dare to stop you, but if you just walk in like this, then I will probably be thrown into Fuyunji's prison and have my tendons pulled out and my skin skinned. "
True Monarch Gu Yue frowned and did not speak, but was obviously hesitant. It seemed that this True Monarch was indeed a kind person. Even though their statuses were like heaven and earth, he was still unwilling to make things difficult for a small fry.
Liu Ting was extremely grateful for this and had a very good impression of True Monarch Gu Yue. He almost knelt down and kowtowed.
After a while, True Monarch Gu Yue nodded and said, "I understand your concerns and the fact that you have no choice but to do this, but I do have an important matter to attend to. How about this, send someone to the Kunlun Temple to pass a message and tell Tianlan that I am here. As for whether to let me in or not, just ask him to give me a clear answer. But don't blame me for not reminding you, I won't wait forever. I will give you at most an hour. "
After saying that, he walked to the side and stood with his hands behind his back, as if he really was waiting.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ting was so touched that tears almost flowed down his cheeks. He hurriedly thanked him, then turned around and rushed back to the crowd. He did not even have the time to get angry at his subordinates who did not have the spirit of loyalty. First, he snatched the best chair and carefully placed it beside True Monarch Gu Yue. Then, he came back to inform the crowd, turned around and ran towards the Kunlun Temple on Mount Tianlong.
…
True Monarch Tianlan only found out about what happened at the foot of the mountain after a little longer than the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
His face was very calm, but his eyes flickered a few times, as if he was thinking about something. This was the first time Liu Ting, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, stepped into this place that was the highest place for people in the Fuyunji system. He did not dare to look around.
After a while, he suddenly heard an angry rebuke from above, "How dare you, Gu Yue! Are you trying to provoke me?"
A gust of wind blew and the tall and burly figure had already reached the entrance of the hall. Liu Ting stood up in shock and heard True Monarch Tianlan's cold voice, "Follow me to meet this arrogant old man!"
