The golden compass didn't differentiate between friend and foe. Even Xue Yang and the others were surrounded by it.
In other words, all of Spirit City was about to be replaced by the compass. The cultivators beneath the city paled; they all sensed that their fates were about to be shaken.
"Xuan Ji's really angry," said Xue Yang.
"You don't need to tell me that. Even the Destiny Compass is moving," said Zhao Qianling.
"This feeling of fate being shaken …. Is this the divine artifact Xuan Ji received when she ascended to godhood?" murmured Bi 'an.
The reason Xuan Ji was known as the greatest diviner of all time was because of this divine artifact.
The Destiny Compass.
As expected.
Within the compass, Xuan Ji gradually began to change. She wore a pure white robe, and her eyes turned golden. Needles spun in her pupils, and a godhead appeared above her head.
Anyone who condensed a godhead to become a god would be bestowed a divine artifact. Bi 'an's Hidden Dragon Sword and the Wish God of the Sea of Innocence's Wish Scripture were all divine artifacts.
The Destiny Compass was a divine artifact she'd received when she condensed her godhead.
Divine artifacts were unique objects. They couldn't be copied or used by others. Only the wielder could use them.
Furthermore, divine artifacts were generally far more powerful than divine artifacts forged by master blacksmiths.
However, divine artifacts couldn't be forged. Once upon a time, a great expert had forged a divine artifact.
That divine artifact was ranked first on the Divine Weapons List: the Xuan-Yuan Sword.
However, since then, no one had ever forged a divine artifact. However, all blacksmiths in the world took pride in forging something close to a divine artifact.
Divine artifacts weren't used lightly, because using them consumed vast amounts of godhead's divine power.
The Bai Family patriarchs paled in fright at Xuan Ji's forcefulness. Within the compass, they felt powerless. It was like their fates were in someone else's hands, no longer under their control.
However, Bai Mingli quickly regained his composure. He'd once heard the God Emperor mention the secret of Xuan Ji's divine artifact.
This divine tool did not differentiate between friend and foe. As long as one was within the range of the compass, the needle would move and the fate of the person within the compass would change. In other words, if she dared move, it wouldn't just be Bai Mingli and the others. Xue Yang, Bi 'an, Su Qingyan, and the Zhao sisters' fates would all change.
He refused to believe that Xuan Ji would drag in Xue Yang and the others, as well as all the innocent people of Spirit City, just to deal with the Bai Family.
"Xuan Ji, put away your god-given weapon. If you really dare drag Xue Yang and the others into this, then do it. With so many big shots, the Bai Family will not suffer a loss! "
Bai Mingli's eyes were filled with disdain. Xue Yang and the others furrowed their brows.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean it literally!" Bai Mingli replied.
The white-robed Xuan Ji's gaze paused for a moment. In her rage, she wanted to take revenge for her subordinates. With a thought, she activated the Destiny Compass.
But Bai Mingli's reminder reminded her that Xue Yang and the others were there too ….
It wasn't just them. Ye Zichen, the Third Era's Master of the Stars, was there too. Xuan Ji could ignore the fates of others, but she couldn't touch the Master of the Stars.
From Bai Mingli's expression, Xuan Ji could tell that he knew about the Destiny Compass's effects.
As for how he'd learned about it, she didn't need to think too much about it.
She'd only told anyone else about it once, to God Emperor Zhou Wu.
"Hah ….."
The golden light faded, and when the compass disappeared from the world, the feeling of their fates being tugged at disappeared as well.
Bai Mingli's eyes lit up with amusement. This was inevitable.
However, Xue Yang and the others knew that Xuan Ji had put away the compass because the Master of the Stars was here.
"I don't need to use up the power of my godhead to wipe out your entire Bai Family. Your Bai Family …. isn't worthy."
Xuan Ji sneered. At that moment, Hu Bazi and the rest of the Profound Pavilion arrived.
Before long, miserable screams filled the air. In less than a hundred breaths of time, all of the Bai Family clansmen standing behind Xuan Ji were wiped out.
"See? There's no need to follow them."
When Bai Mingli heard this, his expression didn't change much. Xuan Ji hadn't bothered with the God of Wine and the others because she knew Su Qingyan would investigate their situation on her behalf.
Just now, out of the corner of her eye, she'd seen Su Qingyan examine their injuries, then feed them pills. This meant they were still alive.
After feeding them pills, Thirteen took care of them, while Su Qingyan approached Xuan Ji.
"Their injuries are fairly serious. The God of Wine's condition is even worse than Ye Zichen's. It's best if we don't tangle with them as much as possible. We should leave as soon as possible and let the Hermit Emperor examine them, "said Su Qingyan.
Xuan Ji nodded in understanding. Hu Bazi and the others had already gone to the God of Wine's side.
When they saw the God of Wine and the others' condition, they rushed over, furious.
"Big Sister."
"I know how you're feeling, but Qingyan told me that they need to find the Hermit Emperor as soon as possible to heal them. We don't have time to waste on them," transmitted Xuan Ji.
"Then take them with you, Big Sister. We'll stay here and wipe out the Bai Family." Hu Bazi gnashed his teeth.
The other Divine Generals nodded as well. The Profound Pavilion's Divine Generals were especially close to each other. When they saw their brothers in such grave injuries, how could they just let the matter rest?
"Don't be rash. What's the point of you staying here? Do you know who my nephew brought with him? Four emperors, twenty soon-to-be emperor-level rulers, and all the yao servants of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Look at how many people he has left, and how many people does the Bai Family have left? "
Hu Bazi and the others fell silent. There was no need to mention the yao servants of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda; just the four emperors were more than enough.
Four emperors were here, as well as the God of Wine and the others. If Ye Zichen and the others were in such dire straits, the Profound Pavilion's Divine Generals and cultivators wouldn't be able to do anything.
Besides, the Bai Family's two patriarchs weren't people they could handle either.
"This operation was my mistake. I never would have guessed that the Bai Family's patriarch was Bai Mingli," said Xuan Ji, narrowing her eyes. "Let's retreat for now. So many of the Bai Family have died. We've profited."
"So we're just going to let this go?"
"Of course not! We naturally have to avenge our grievances!" Xuan Ji didn't hesitate in the slightest. "The Bai Family and the Profound Pavilion are enemies now. If we don't destroy the Bai Family, how can I possibly rest? However, right now, the God of Wine and my nephew's injuries are more important, so I won't bicker with them for now. "
They'd come here to find Ye Zichen. Setting aside their enmity with the Bai Family for now, as long as Ye Zichen was still alive, they'd accomplished their goal.
The other major powers of the Divine Mountains received Xuan Ji's transmission as well. Once they understood the situation, they made preparations to retreat.
