While Qin Di was hiding in the grotto-heaven, seven Immortal Emperors arrived, led by Taibai Jinxing.
Taibai Jinxing wasn't just a kind-looking, white-bearded old man as described in Journey to the West. He was actually a Celestial Lord who ruled over weapons. It was said that he was the son of the White Emperor, but somehow became a minister under the Jade Emperor. Some said that he used the name of the White Emperor, but wasn't actually the son of the White Emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood against the White Emperor and helped the Jade Emperor frame Jinshen Sushou. Rushou was also the son of the White Emperor and had received the teachings of the White Emperor.
Taibai Jinxing was a tenth level Immortal Emperor. He wore a crown of stars, red shoes, and white robes. He held a jade slip in his hand and a seven-star sword hung at his waist. He also had a white jade pendant the size of a fist.
Behind him was the Immortal Emperor, Guan Shanfeng! This guy originally swore a heavenly oath not to go against Guan Shanyue. But after thinking about it, I swore against Guan Shanyue. This name is most likely fake! So even if I break the oath, the heavens won't punish me! Therefore, not only did he go back to add fuel to the fire, but he also volunteered to come to the Yu Qing territory again to seek revenge against Qin Di.
Other than Guan Shanfeng, Fei Lian, Teng Liu, Zhang Chang, Crested Ibis and Zhong Hun were following behind Taibai Jinxing. These people were all sixth and seventh level Immortal Emperors.
Fei Lian was the Wind God bestowed by the Jade Emperor. Teng Liu was the Snow God bestowed by the Jade Emperor. Zhang Chang was the seventh generation descendant of the Jade Emperor. Crested Ibis was a spirit bird raised by the Lingxiao Hall. Zhong Hun was the brother of the Celestial Master Zhong Kui.
Among the seven Immortal Emperors, only Taibai Jinxing had a yellow-ranked sword, which was the Seven Star Treasured Sword. Moreover, he had taken it from the Jade Emperor before he came. He obtained a Profound Grade sword called "God Reining Sword".
The arrival of seven Immortal Emperors shook the entire Yu Qing Territory.
Although most of these people weren't Immortal Emperors and only Taibai Jinxing had completed the first step, the true Immortal Emperors in the Jade Clear Territory had all gone to the Divine Ruin Wasteland. Most of the remaining Immortal Emperors were below the Tenth Stage. Thus, no one dared to underestimate Taibai Jinxing, who was a subordinate of Nhat Hanh.
Everyone came over to greet them. "Dear Celestial Emperors, how have you been?"
"Taibai Jinxing, why aren't you assisting the Jade Emperor? What are you doing in the Jade Clear Territory?"
Taibai Jinxing's clothes were whiter than snow and he had a dignified appearance. He raised his head and replied, "I'm here to capture Guan Shanyue under the orders of the Jade Emperor!"
Some people were surprised. "Is there a need for so many people to capture Guan Shanyue?"
There were also people who felt that this was within their expectations. "Yes, a few more Immortal Emperors should come. Last time on the Immortal Inquiry Platform, Guan Shanyue displayed his prowess and took down Immortal Emperors Guan Shanfeng and Li Zhong. This means that he's very strong. If there aren't enough people, we can't even stop him, let alone kill him. "
At this time, a female immortal suddenly came up to slap his face. "Guan Shanfeng, didn't you swear to the Heavenly Dao that you wouldn't come for revenge? Why are you here again? "
Guan Shanfeng's expression was ugly as he replied, "I'm a general under the Jade Emperor. In order to protect the dignity of the Celestial Court, even if I have to die a horrible death, I must kill the evil person!"
The female immortal clapped her hands. "Impressive indeed! You have the support of six Immortal Emperors, so you've become more confident. Why did you beg for mercy on the Immortal Inquiry Platform? "
Guan Shanfeng's face turned purple as he shouted, "Nangong Ying, don't talk nonsense! Are you in cahoots with the evil person? "
Nangong Ying giggled. "Aiyoyo, Guan Shanfeng, you scared me to death. Why did you put such a big label on me?"
Guan Shanfeng snorted and said, "If you don't want to be arrested by the Celestial Court, don't talk nonsense! Don't you know that slandering an Immortal Emperor is also against the law of heaven? The current Heavenly Court is under the control of the Jade Emperor. Everything is in order, and the doors are not closed at night. Every Immortal Emperor has to keep their mouths shut. They are not allowed to spread rumors or create rumors. Otherwise, they will be arrested and sent to prison for ten million years! "
Nangong Ying smiled. "Good, good, good. I'll watch you show your prowess. However, Guan Shanyue has a divine artifact. I advise you to be careful. "
"Hmph! I don't need you to care! Hurry up and hide to the side! "
At this time, Taibai Jinxing had already arrived in front of the immortal palace that Qin Di was in. He said in a clear voice, "People inside, listen up. Guan Shanyue is audacious and has violated the 33 heavenly laws. This is a heinous crime. Along with all disciples, hurry up and come out. Surrender and be bound! Maybe the Celestial Court will be lenient and give you a chance to live. Otherwise, when we break the immortal formation, we will behead you one by one in public! "
The immortal palace was dead silent. It was as if no one was there.
Taibai Jinxing said again, "I'll count to ten. If there's no reply, I'll launch an attack! Don't count on this rank eight immortal formation to have any protective effect! Under the joint attack of seven Immortal Emperors, it won't even last four hours! "
A woman's voice sounded from inside the immortal palace. "Taibai Jinxing, my master Guan Shanyue said that if you dare to launch an attack, he will throw out Immortal Emperor Li Zhong's head! You caused Immortal Emperor Li Zhong's death. This responsibility will be borne by you! "
Taibai Jinxing paused. He looked back and found that many people had gathered around to watch the show. Among them were 20 Immortal Emperors, hundreds of Sengoku, and many Jin Xian.
In front of so many people, if he said, "This has nothing to do with me. If you want to kill me, go ahead.", it would definitely cause a huge reaction. Would the people close to Lingxiao Hall feel disappointed? Would the people who were enemies of Lingxiao Hall feel excited? Also, what would the spectators think of this?
Because of these concerns, Taibai Jinxing was a little hesitant.
At this time, Immortal Emperor Guan Shanyue suddenly shouted, "Guan Shanyue, last time you said that as long as we can gather ten rank nine immortal veins, you will release Immortal Emperor Li Zhong. Do you still keep your word? Immortal Emperors are big shots. If you don't keep your word, you will be struck by lightning! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint rumble of thunder came from the horizon. He was so scared that he hugged his head and looked around.
The onlookers couldn't help but laugh.
An Immortal Emperor with white hair and beard said, "What a joke! Guan Shanyue, you didn't even make a Heavenly Dao Oath. How can you take someone's casual words seriously? At this critical juncture, no one would let Immortal Emperor Li Zhong go! If we let him go, where would we get the hostages? "
After a while, a voice came from inside the immortal formation. It was still the female immortal who spoke earlier. She said in a clear and melodious voice, "My master said that he is different from you. He always keeps his word. However, he is in closed-door cultivation and will only come out after a thousand years. At that time, as long as you can gather ten rank nine immortal veins, he will give Li Zhong to you! "
When these words entered everyone's ears, they couldn't help but be shocked.
No one could understand what was going on inside. Why did they agree to release Immortal Emperor Li Zhong? If they didn't release Li Zhong, they could make Taibai Jinxing hesitate. If they released Li Zhong, wouldn't they let the seven Immortal Emperors attack freely? Oh, no, including Li Zhong, that would be eight Immortal Emperors!
Some people thought, maybe Guan Shanyue is trying to escape, or maybe after a thousand years, someone will come to save him …
Taibai Jinxing frowned. He looked back at the Immortal Emperors and asked in a low voice, "Everyone, what do you think we should do?"
Immortal Emperor Fei Lian said, "Since they agreed to let him go, we can't attack now. Otherwise, if we cause Li Zhong's death, the onlookers will push the blame to us. "
Immortal Emperor Teng Liu was a bit depressed. "I wanted to come here for a walk and go back soon! What if they drag it out for a thousand years and then another thousand years? "
The Immortal Emperors said, "That's impossible. If Guan Shanyue doesn't keep his word, then we have a reason to attack freely. Even if Li Zhong dies, it's not our responsibility. "
At this time, Taibai Jinxing started counting loudly. "People inside, listen up, a thousand years is too long! I'll only give you a hundred years! Within a hundred years, we will gather ten rank nine immortal veins and you must release him unconditionally! "
A voice came from the palace. "Taibai Jinxing! My master said a hundred years is too short, at least five hundred years! "
"Hmph! Three hundred years, not a day more! "
"Alright, three hundred years it is. Throw a hundred million immortal crystals or ten rank nine immortal veins into the immortal formation first! "
Next, the seven Immortal Emperors started piecing together the immortal veins.
Every Immortal Emperor had a rank nine immortal veins. Early-stage Immortal Emperors might only have one, but rank nine Immortal Emperors had more than nine.
These people were all rank six and above, only Guan Shanyue was a rank five Immortal Emperor. They all had six or seven rank nine immortal veins in their bodies. Taibai Jinxing had more than ten rank nine immortal veins in his body. Each of them could temporarily take one out. As long as they broke the immortal formation and captured Guan Shanyue, they could take back the formation.
If they wanted to store the rank nine immortal veins, they needed a grotto-heaven.
Luckily, each Immortal Emperor had killed many people, so they didn't lack Sengoku level grotto-heavens. As long as they moved the immortal veins in, they could throw it to the other side.
Under Taibai Jinxing's command, the six Immortal Emperors surrounded the palace. Under everyone's gaze, not even an ant could crawl out!
Under such circumstances, it was harder than ascending to the heavens for Guan Shanyue to escape!
There were more and more onlookers. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a good look at the show.
Many people thought, "Who is Guan Shanyue? How is he going to escape? Will someone come to save him? If no one comes to save him, then he will die here. What a pity! "
