The aged voice was filled with majesty. When Saint Li and Li Zun heard this voice, they immediately withdrew their hands and retreated.
The two vast energies that shook the heavens and the earth quickly calmed down after the two of them stopped fighting. However, Saint Li and Li Zun's bodies still flickered with rays of divine light, as if they could fight again at any time.
They were both very fearful of the owner of that voice!
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Three rays of divine light flew over from the direction of the Saint Mountain. They were very fast, and as soon as they appeared on the horizon, they flashed for a moment and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye!
The divine light dissipated, and three people appeared in the light!
The one in the lead was an old man with a ruddy face and white hair. He wore a purple and gold Daoist crown on his head and was dressed in a Daoist robe. As for the two experts of the Divine Race standing behind him, one was a middle-aged man dressed in green with a refined appearance, and the other was a youth dressed in white with a cold expression.
"Saint Li, Li Zun, you two are really daring to fight in the Saint Lands. Don't you know that it's forbidden to fight in the Saint Lands?" The old man glanced at Saint Li and Li Zun and said angrily.
"Greetings, Elder!"
Saint Li and Li Zun respectfully bowed to the old man. This old man was definitely an important figure in the Divine Race. Saint Li and Li Zun didn't dare to slight him and bowed to him.
"What exactly happened?" The old man asked in a low voice. His eyes were like lightning as he glanced at the two of them.
"Replying to Elder, Saint Li was the one who attacked first. I was just defending myself!" Li Zun glanced at Saint Li and said indifferently. He wasn't the one who attacked first.
"Hmph! So what if I was the one who attacked first?" Saint Li glared at Li Zun and said coldly. If it wasn't for the fact that the Elder was present, he would have already attacked Li Zun.
"Sigh! Revenge breeds revenge. When will it end?" The old man shook his head. The two experts behind him also looked at each other helplessly.
"You two are from the same sect. Why must you …"
"Elder, please don't waste your breath on this matter. There's nothing to say between me and Li Zun." Saint Li cut off the elder's words, his attitude resolute.
The old man thought about it for a moment, and then he said, "No matter what, you shouldn't have fought in the holy land. You must be punished."
"Hmph." Li Zun couldn't help but feel somewhat dissatisfied. The one who had attacked first was Saint Li, and from the elder's tone, it seemed that he was going to side with Saint Li. What was so good about Saint Li? Why did everyone want to protect him? The Elders are like this, and so is the Patriarch.
"Honorable Li, I punish you by grounding you for a hundred days. Go back and reflect on your past. As for Sage Li, since he invited two distinguished guests, his merits and demerits offset each other. Quickly go back and entertain the guests!"
"Hmph, goodbye." Li Zun cupped his hands towards the elder, then turned and left. The elder's favoritism towards Saint Li made him extremely unhappy.
The old man and the other two Divine Race experts couldn't help but shake their heads. They seemed to know about the grudge between Li Sheng and Li Zun, and felt somewhat helpless.
Only after Li Zun left did the old man say to Saint Li, "Saint Li, if you can endure it, endure it. There are some things that if you shed all pretense of cordiality, it will bring extremely terrifying consequences to our race. The gains do not make up for the losses."
"I will solemnly follow Elder's teachings," said Saint Li.
"You better listen to my words." The old man glanced at Saint Li, then turned and left with the two Divine Race experts behind him. Those two Divine Race experts didn't make a sound from start to finish.
"Li Zun …" After the old man left, Saint Li looked in the direction that Li Zun had left. He gnashed his teeth, his eyes red, and killing intent surged from his body.
There seemed to be an unresolvable grudge between him and Li Zun. But if Saint Li really killed Li Zun, it would most likely cause a huge storm.
As long as he was in this world, he couldn't fight against Li Zun. Saint Li sighed helplessly, then soared into the air and flew in the direction of the Holy Mountain.
Just as Saint Li was nearing the Sacred Mountain, a buzzing sound of a sword suddenly came from the palace at the peak of the Sacred Mountain without warning.
"What's going on?" Saint Li was taken aback. In an instant, an extremely powerful Sword Qi shot out from the palace at the peak of the mountain, charging straight at him.
Under this Sword Qi, even the heavens and earth lost their color.
Saint Li cultivated the Way of the Immortal Sword. After sensing this Sword Qi, the sword energy in his body immediately trembled, as if it had been summoned. It wanted to rush out of his body and fly towards the peak of the Holy Mountain.
At this time, Gu Fei, who was in the courtyard of Saint Li's palace, suddenly froze. Then, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, "How … how is this possible?"
The palace at the peak of the Holy Mountain was the Violet Immortal Palace, a forbidden area of the Divine Race. Even the Divine Race could not enter the Immortal Palace without an imperial edict.
"I … I sensed the aura of the Violet Gold Divine Sword!" After a moment of shock, Gu Fei was immediately overjoyed. The Violet Gold Divine Sword! That was an extreme Divine Weapon that everyone coveted!
"What …" The Old Tortoise was shocked and hurriedly said, "Quickly try and see if you can retrieve the divine sword!"
"Yes!" Gu Fei was about to use his Xuan Qi to retrieve the Violet Gold Divine Sword, but at this moment, the trace of connection between him and the sword suddenly disappeared, as if it had been cut off by some power.
"Oh no, an expert has cut off my connection with the divine sword!" Gu Fei's joy was for naught.
"It's not easy to cut off the connection between an extreme treasure and its owner. It seems that the person who did this is at least a terrifying existence on par with the Almighty!" The Old Tortoise said solemnly.
"The Sword Qi came from the peak of the Holy Mountain …" Gu Fei suddenly stood up. He suddenly realized that the Violet Gold Divine Sword had actually fallen into the hands of the Divine Race!
"Don't act rashly!" The Old Tortoise transmitted his voice to him. The Divine Race's foundation was too shocking. The few of them were not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!
If they really fought, forget about winning, they wouldn't even be able to escape!
Gu Fei's thoughts raced, and then he slowly sat down unwillingly. He had to retrieve the Violet Gold Divine Sword, but it wouldn't be that easy!
The sudden burst of Sword Qi from the peak of the Holy Mountain had alarmed many experts of the Divine Race. On the Holy Mountain, many older experts who were cultivating in seclusion also came out!
In the distant sky, Li Sheng quickly came back to his senses and then flew towards the Holy Mountain!
"What kind of place is the Violet Immortal Palace at the peak of the mountain?" In the garden, in a pavilion, Gu Fei transmitted his voice to Hei Tian. Hei Tian was a member of the Divine Race when he was alive. Although his soul's memories hadn't been completely awakened, he would more or less know some things about the Divine Race!
"I advise you not to have any ideas about the Violet Immortal Palace!" Hei Tian muttered to himself for a while before seriously transmitting his voice to Gu Fei.
"I've already made up my mind. Just tell me everything you know," said Gu Fei. The Violet Gold Divine Sword was his, and it was an extreme Sacred Weapon. He had to retrieve it no matter what!
"Alas, that's an ancient palace left behind by a distant ancestor of my race. The only remaining ancestor of my race is in a deep slumber in the Violet Immortal Palace!" Although Hei Tian hadn't successfully reversed life and death, he had already unconsciously regarded himself as a member of the Divine Race.
"No!" Gu Fei was shocked. The Divine Race actually still had an ancient ancestor who had survived. It was truly unbelievable. Just how long had that ancestor lived? Could it even be traced back to when the Hell Dao was formed?
The era of the Divine Race's ancestor was probably even earlier than the Old Tortoise!
"Why are you so shocked? Once you reach the Immortal God realm, your lifespan is practically endless. If there are no accidents, even an ordinary Immortal God can live forever, let alone the Divine Race, "said Hei Tian.
"That's true." Gu Fei thought that if he could find a secret place to hide, as long as there wasn't any major upheaval, he would probably be able to live until the end of time.
"How is this possible? Could the person who took my divine sword be that ancestor of the Divine Race?" When Gu Fei thought of that, he couldn't help feeling his body heat up and his throat become a bit dry.
If the Violet Gold Divine Sword had been taken by that ancestor of the Divine Race, then it really would be impossible to get it back!
That ancient ancestor of the Divine Race who had lived for countless years had probably long since reached the realm of the Buddhist Lord, Martial Ancestor, and Demon Ancestor.
Gu Fei was just about to continue asking when a divine rainbow descended from the sky and landed outside the pavilion. When the light faded, Saint Li's figure appeared.
With Saint Li's arrival, Gu Fei naturally couldn't continue asking.
"Brother Gu, brother Gui, please forgive me for my negligence," said Saint Li as he walked into the pavilion. "Eh, where's that brat Li Ran?"
Saint Li couldn't help being a bit displeased that Li Ran wasn't here to accompany the guests. Where had he gone?
"Brother Li!" Gu Fei and the others hastily stood up.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone sat back down.
"Brother Li wants to cooperate with us. What kind of cooperation is it?" Gu Fei went straight to the point and asked what he wanted to know.
"Haha, it's still too early to say," said Saint Li.
Although Gu Fei and the old tortoise appeared very calm, they were actually a bit dissatisfied with Saint Li's refusal. At the same time, they felt a trace of unease.
Gu Fei and the old tortoise wanted to ask more, but Saint Li cleverly changed the topic several times. Seeing him like this, Gu Fei and the old tortoise couldn't continue asking.
However, from his conversation with Saint Li, Gu Fei learned about the current situation of the Divine Race. The Divine Race was incomparably powerful, but their population wasn't large. Even after countless years of reproduction, their population hadn't grown very obviously. There were only a few hundred of them.
Furthermore, these several hundred Divine Races were divided into three factions, each of them inheriting the inheritance left behind by their ancestors.
