This was inconceivable to everyone. It was like seeing two tigers kneeling before an ant. It was hard to believe, hard to accept, and even harder to understand.
Now, everyone was doubting whether King Chixiao was real or fake.
Without solid evidence, no one dared to say that he was the real King Chixiao.
Only the patriarch of Yanluo Royalty kept saying that he was King Chixiao, and he seemed to be deliberately mystifying things.
Other than that, no one else was convinced. Even the Emperor of the Yan Luo Imperial Family, Tang Yunqi, and Prince Tang Yunhao didn't seem to believe it. Even the two Earthly Fiends, Black Water and Black Buddha, and more than three hundred people from the Crimson Firmament Empire were skeptical.
Under these circumstances, Sengoku's two Purple Gold Celestial Dukes stood up and knelt before King Chixiao.
How did they know that this person was King Chixiao?
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if this Gu Qingfeng really was the Scarlet Firmament King.
With their status, there was no need for these two Purple Gold Celestial Dukes to kneel.
In their previous lives, their status was even more honorable than the Nine Heavens' Celestial Dukes!
Although King Chixiao had become the King of the Celestial Dao, he had also become the King of the Demon Dao. Moreover, neither the Celestial Dao nor the Demon Dao acknowledged his status as the King of the Immortal and Demon Dao. The Immortal and Demon Dao had even sent down a trial. It could be said that his status was not legitimate. There was no need to care about his status as the King of the Immortal and Demon Dao.
Moreover, King Chixiao had overthrown Sengoku and killed many Nine Heavens' Celestial Dukes. No matter what, Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao couldn't kneel before King Chixiao.
Perhaps their status in their previous lives only represented their previous lives.
But Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao were also Sengoku's Purple Gold Celestial Dukes in this life!
Could it be that they were afraid of the King's power?
That didn't make sense!
Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao were unfathomable. Even if they were no match for him, they wouldn't be so afraid that they would kneel before him, right? Furthermore, they had Sengoku behind them, Sengoku had Yunduan behind them, and Yunduan had Jiutian behind them!
No matter how they thought about it, no one could understand why Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao would kneel and kowtow to Gu Qingfeng.
Everyone was shocked and confused.
This included Tang Yunqi from Yanluo Royalty, Tang Yunhao and his wife, as well as Tang Man-ching. They had always thought that this might be a trick played by the Great Ancestor to intimidate Sengoku. However, with the appearance of Gu Qingfeng, they felt that something was amiss.
If it was a trick played by the Patriarch, why did Black Water, Black Buddha, and the other Chi Xiao people kneel down just now?
If the patriarch had sent a message to the Chi Xiao people in advance, then why were the two purple-gold immortal dukes kneeling before him?
If the Patriarch wanted to play a trick, he might have sent a message to the Chi Xiao people in advance to cooperate. However, he couldn't have sent a message to Sengoku and asked Sengoku to cooperate with him, could he? No matter how powerful the Patriarch was, it was impossible for him to be this powerful. Moreover, the two purple-gold immortal dukes from Sengoku were kneeling before him. If the Patriarch really had the ability to command the two purple-gold immortal dukes, he wouldn't have needed to play any tricks at all.
What was going on?
The Yanluo Royalty people were stunned.
Similarly, Elder Mei, Black Water, Black Buddha, and the other Chi Xiao people were also stunned. They were also very confused. Even they couldn't tell if this King was real or fake. Why did the two purple-gold immortal dukes from Sengoku seem to believe in Gu Qingfeng's identity without a doubt and even kneel before the King?
What was going on?
Black Buddha and Black Water looked at Elder Mei, hoping to get an answer from him.
As for Elder Mei?
He was more shocked and confused than they were.
He couldn't understand it either. He replied, "I don't know what's going on either. However, seeing the two purple-gold immortal dukes kneeling before him, I'm more certain of one thing."
"What is it?"
Elder Mei looked at Gu Qingfeng and replied secretly through voice transmission, "This person's existence might be even more terrifying than we thought. Moreover, something must have happened in the Great Northwest nine years ago that we don't know about. "
"Why do you say that?"
"As far as I know, Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao were also cultivating in seclusion in the Great Northwest nine years ago. Moreover, they were acquainted with this Gu Qingfeng. Not only that, I heard that every time they met Gu Qingfeng, they were very respectful and didn't dare to slight him. Think about it, Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao were nobler than the High Immortals of the Nine Heavens in their previous lives. They must have seen how terrifying Gu Qingfeng is, which is why they didn't dare to slight him."
"So what if they were nobler than the High Immortals of the Nine Heavens in their previous lives? The previous life is the previous life, and the current life is the current life. The cultivation of the previous life is not the same as the cultivation of the current life. The two of them … "
Just as Black Water was speaking, Mei Shan rudely interrupted, "Ergou, do you know how strong these two people are in this life? I can tell you for sure that no matter which one of them is, killing Immortals is as easy as stepping on an ant. "
"What?"
Black Water was shocked. He might not be able to see through the cultivation of Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao, but he didn't expect them to be so terrifying.
Lord Black Buddha, Dong Laohu, asked, "If the two of them are so powerful, why would they kneel before a King whose identity is unknown? Could it be that they believe or see that Gu Qingfeng is the real King? Is that impossible? If we can't see through it, I'm afraid they haven't even seen the face of the King. How could they recognize him? "
"To be honest, with the cultivation of Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao, even if they meet the real King, they don't need to kneel like this. They don't need to, and they don't need to."
"Then why did they …"
"That's why I said that Gu Qingfeng's existence is much more terrifying than I thought." Elder Mei took a deep breath and said, "So terrifying that people like Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao are willing to give up their self-esteem, disregard their status, and even disregard Sengoku's reputation and their own future to kneel before him."
After a pause, Elder Mei continued, "What I can be sure of is that after the two of them kneel, it doesn't matter whether Gu Qingfeng is the real King or not. Even if he is a fake, Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao will definitely be mocked and ridiculed by other Immortals. Not only will they be stripped of their Purple Gold titles by Sengoku, they might even be hunted down by Sengoku and listed as sinners of the Immortal Dao."
"I believe they all knew this very well. Yet, they still stood out and kowtowed. In other words, they did not do it impulsively. Instead, they had carefully considered the consequences. They had thought through it thoroughly before standing out and kowtowing."
At this point, Elder Mei's heart couldn't help but tremble. He continued, "I really can't imagine what kind of existence this Gu Qingfeng is for the two of them to abandon everything and even become sinners of the Immortal Dao to kneel before him."
"Elder Mei, do you think this Gu Qingfeng is really our King?" Black Water was somewhat anxious. "Why is it that the more I listen, the more nervous I feel?"
Black Buddha Dong Laohu nodded. After hearing Elder Mei's words, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"I don't know. I really don't know. I hope he's the real King … I hope so. Otherwise …"
Black Water asked nervously, "Otherwise what?"
"Only God knows."
