The news that the Great Elder of the Xuanming Sect had been crippled caused an uproar in Xuanming City. All the Xuanming Sect disciples in the city were in disbelief.
The high and mighty Great Elder, the Great Elder whom they revered as a god, had not only been defeated by someone, but also had his cultivation crippled.
All the Xuanming Sect disciples felt as though their sky had collapsed. All these years, the Great Elder was their belief.
As long as the Great Elder and the Saintess were around, the Xuanming Sect would not disappear.
However, the Great Elder, one of the two pillars of the Xuanming Sect, had been crippled. All the Xuanming Sect disciples in Xuanming City could not accept this fact.
Soon, there were signs of chaos in Xuanming City.
However, unexpectedly, the Saintess suppressed the chaos that was about to erupt. She even forbade the Xuanming Sect disciples from finding trouble with Gu Fei.
"Saintess, how could this happen? That person crippled the Great Elder. We must avenge him."
"That's right. We must avenge the Great Elder."
Indignant and angry roars could be heard in Xuanming City.
"Wu Chu reaped what he sowed. He imprisoned the Saintess with the intention of betraying the sect. We're already letting him off easy by not killing him."
Very soon, different voices could be heard in Xuanming City. This was definitely an explosive one. How could Great Elder Wu Chu have imprisoned the Saintess?
"With Elder Yan Kun as a witness, how could it be fake?"
Someone said.
"What …"
All the Xuanming Sect disciples in Xuanming City were stunned. It should be known that Yan Kun was one of the three remaining Elders of the Xuanming Sect.
Since he had come out to testify, it seemed like this matter was not groundless.
In the end, Elder Yan Kun stood out and accused Wu Chu of imprisoning the Saintess with the intention of betraying the sect. This caused an uproar among the Xuanming Sect disciples.
"How could the Great Elder …"
After the initial shock, countless Xuanming Sect disciples were furious. It should be known that the Saintess was the symbol of purity in the eyes of countless Xuanming Sect disciples. She could not be desecrated.
Thus, Gu Fei turned from an evil person who crippled the Great Elder to a great hero who saved the Saintess from the Great Elder's demonic claws.
Of course, the protagonist of this incident, Gu Fei, did not care about the change in his identity. He also did not care about how the people from the Xuanming Sect viewed him.
Meanwhile, the Xuan Ming Saintess was sitting on a throne in the City Lord Mansion.
Gu Fei sat lazily on the lower seat.
"Saintess, you're going to be the sect leader."
Yan Kun and Black Tiger Daoist were extremely shocked by the Mysterious Underworld Saintess' decision. There had never been a Saintess who had become the Sect Master in the Mysterious Underworld Sect.
Of course, there was no written rule in the Mysterious Dark Sect that the Sect's Saintess could not be the Sect Leader.
"Isn't he just the Sect Leader of the Xuan Ming Sect? Little girl, don't be too serious."
Gu Fei said lazily.
"This …"
When Yan Kun and the Black Tiger Taoist heard Gu Fei's words, black lines appeared on their heads. However, when they thought about how Wu Chu was crippled by this person, they did not dare to say anything.
However, calling the Saintess a little girl was too much.
"Brother Gu, you promised me that you would help me, you know?"
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess was not the least bit displeased. There was no doubt that Gu Fei was powerful. Most importantly, he also had a feud with the Eastern Land Celestial Thearch, Yuan Gu. This was very important.
"Alright, since you want to be the sect leader, then be it."
Gu Fei said indifferently.
"Alright, I hope no one objects to me being the sect leader."
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess looked at Black Tiger Taoist and Yan Kun as she spoke.
The Black Tiger Taoist and Yan Kun naturally had nothing to say. How would they dare to say anything in the presence of this killing god? They had seen Wu Chu's fate with their own eyes.
Wu Chu was a Sage Monarch who was much more powerful than them. If he had been crippled by Gu Fei, what were they?
"Very well, then announce it to the sect members."
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess said.
"Yes, Saintess, Sect Leader."
Yan Kun turned around helplessly and walked out.
Very soon, the Mysterious Underworld City was in an uproar again. The Saintess had actually become the sect leader. This was definitely something that no one had expected.
In the history of the Mysterious Underworld Sect, there had never been a Saintess who had become the sect leader. However, there was also no rule that a Saintess couldn't become the sect leader.
Most of the sect members felt that there was nothing wrong with the Saintess becoming the sect leader. At least there would be someone to lead everyone.
At the moment, only Gu Fei and the Mysterious Underworld Saintess were left in the City Lord Palace.
"This is all the Mysterious Underworld Sect has."
Gu Fei said lazily.
"Yes, it's already good enough that it wasn't destroyed by that old man Yuan Gu."
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess sighed. This was the last realm of the 13 Mysterious Underworld Realms. If this realm was destroyed by Yuan Gu, then the Mysterious Underworld Sect would really be finished.
"He he … I really don't care about the chips in your hands."
Gu Fei said.
This realm of the Mysterious Underworld Sect was not as good as his own inner realm. Furthermore, the only experts in this realm were the Mysterious Underworld Saintess, the Black Tiger Taoist, and Elder Yan Kun.
The Mysterious Underworld Sect only had three Saints.
However, Gu Fei alone was more powerful than the entire Mysterious Underworld Sect.
"However, do you understand the current Eastern Territory?"
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess asked.
"I don't."
Gu Fei said.
"Therefore, you still have to rely on me. The Mysterious Underworld Sect is still useful to you."
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess was very straightforward. If Gu Fei wasn't useful, he definitely wouldn't have stayed in the Mysterious Underworld Sect. He would have left long ago.
He really didn't understand the current Eastern Territory. If he wanted to deal with the Eastern Territory Celestial Ruler, he would really have to rely on the Mysterious Underworld Sect to understand the situation there.
"Very well. How's the investigation going?"
Gu Fei couldn't help but nod. This Mysterious Underworld Saintess was really smart. Could she see through his thoughts? She was really good at reading people's expressions.
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess then told him everything she knew.
The Ancient Celestial Ruler had countless clones, so no one knew when he would appear in his true body. Even the people closest to him didn't know.
It was almost impossible to destroy the Ancient Celestial Ruler's true body. The Ancient Celestial Ruler was probably the most mysterious Emperor in the Heavenly Realm.
"Alright, then get ready. I want to wreak havoc in Celestial City."
After hearing this, Gu Fei thought for a moment and said this.
"What …"
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess' eyes lit up when she heard this. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Ancient Celestial Ruler's power.
"When?"
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess asked excitedly. She couldn't maintain her composure. Even in her dreams, she wanted to counterattack and deal a heavy blow to the Ancient Celestial Ruler.
The Mysterious Underworld Sect had been too sullen all these years.
"Whenever you say so."
Gu Fei said indifferently.
"Alright, alright."
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess naturally understood the meaning behind Gu Fei's words. Thus, she immediately mobilized all the power of the Mysterious Underworld Sect.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Although the Mysterious Underworld Sect had declined to this extent, it still had a lot of power in the Eastern Territory. Very soon, news about the Ancient Celestial Ruler of the Eastern Territory was transmitted to the Mysterious Underworld Sect.
Half a month passed. Gu Fei had been cultivating by the Green Bamboo Lake all this time. No one dared to disturb him, so the Green Bamboo Lake had become a forbidden area in the Mysterious Underworld Sect.
Given Gu Fei's current state, he could trigger a Sacred Venerate Heavenly Tribulation at any time. However, he felt that he couldn't waste this tribulation.
Wasn't the Ancient Celestial Ruler very powerful? Then, I shall undergo my tribulation in your lair. Let's see what you can do to me then.
Gu Fei was waiting for news from the Mysterious Underworld Saintess. He believed that she would tell him when the most suitable time to undergo his tribulation was.
The days were very peaceful. One day, Gu Fei got a fishing rod from somewhere and sat on a big rock by the lake. He wore a bamboo hat and fished.
The lake water was so clear that the bottom could be seen. Fishes swam around but didn't take the bait.
However, Gu Fei wasn't fishing for the sake of fishing.
Suddenly, a figure appeared silently behind Gu Fei. It was a masked woman in black. She was the Mysterious Underworld Saintess.
"You still have the leisure to fish here?"
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess said.
"It's time."
Gu Fei didn't stand up. He just sat there and fished.
"That's right. The birds are all returning to their nests."
The Mysterious Underworld Saintess sounded a little nervous. After all, this wasn't a small matter. It would be great if she could seriously injure the Ancient Celestial Ruler.
She wanted to let the Ancient Celestial Ruler know that the Mysterious Underworld Sect wasn't to be trifled with.
"Very well, it's time to go out and take a walk."
Gu Fei put away his fishing rod and removed the bamboo hat on his head. He carefully placed the fishing rod and the bamboo hat beside him before standing up.
Then, Gu Fei left the small world of the Mysterious Underworld Sect.
Celestial City was very lively at this time. All the Immortal Generals had returned. Tomorrow was a big day, so all the Immortal Generals who were stationed outside had returned to Celestial City.
Tomorrow was the birthday of the Ancient Celestial Ruler. Every year, Celestial City would be packed with people at this time. Not only would the powerhouses under the Ancient Celestial Ruler come, but even the factions that had good relations with the Ancient Celestial Ruler would also send envoys to congratulate him.
"Hmph, tomorrow is the birthday of my son, Ancient Yuan. This couldn't be any better."
Gu Fei appeared on top of a stone mountain only a thousand miles away from Celestial City. He could conceal his aura, so no one could sense his presence.
He had heard the news. He could still wait for one day. He had already waited for half a month, so one more day wouldn't make a difference.
Gu Fei found a place to sit down and quietly waited for the arrival of the next day. His mind was very calm, without any sadness or joy. His entire being was in an ethereal state.
A day passed in the blink of an eye for cultivators. The sun rose from the east and the sunlight shone on the earth. Gu Fei didn't move from his position on the stone mountain.
Noon arrived, but Gu Fei still didn't plan to make a move.
