Whether it was Sengoku, the four great clans, or the seven great sects, no one was spared. They were all killed by Gu Qingfeng.
What was puzzling was that, for some reason, Gu Qingfeng didn't make a move against the Thái Tông.
The Thái Tông Grand Elders who had made a move earlier were all lying on the ground, battered and exhausted. Although they hadn't been restricted, Gu Qingfeng's roar had caused them to bleed from their seven orifices. Their minds had collapsed, and their Immortal Spirits were in chaos. If they tried to forcefully circulate their Immortal Spirits under these circumstances, they would either suffer from Qi Deviation, or explode on the spot.
That wasn't important.
What was important was that, even if their minds hadn't collapsed and their Immortal Spirits hadn't fallen into chaos, they didn't dare to make a move against the mysterious, powerful, and murderous Gu Qingfeng.
This was especially true for the Thái Tông Vice Sect Leader Cangyun.
He lay paralyzed in a pool of blood, trembling uncontrollably.
He'd thought that, with Sengoku here today, he'd be able to borrow Sengoku's prestige to take revenge. Even if Gu Qingfeng was a fake King Chixiao, even if he couldn't take revenge, he'd still be able to wash away the humiliation he'd suffered all those years ago.
It wasn't until now that he realized that he'd been wrong all along.
Not only had he failed to take revenge, but he'd also failed to wash away the humiliation he'd suffered all those years ago. Instead, his Immortal Spirit had been shattered, and he'd become a cripple from now on. This was an even greater humiliation.
Thái Tông's current Sect Leader Cangkong, Elder Xu Mu, and the others didn't make a move. They'd always been against the Grand Elders making a move, and they'd constantly tried to persuade them otherwise. However, at this point, it was useless to say anything else. They knew very well that, if the Thái Tông Sect Leader and the Grand Elders of the Inner Pavilion died here today, it would take at least a thousand years for the Thái Tông Sect Leader to recover.
The two of them wanted to plead for mercy, but they didn't dare to.
Firstly, they didn't know Gu Qingfeng at all.
Secondly, they were truly afraid.
After some thought, they saw Tang Laoguai..... Cangkong and Xu Mu braced themselves, knelt on the ground, and pleaded, "Senior Tang, the Sect Leader and the others. they were confused..... we hope that you'll forgive them for the sake of our many's and the Yanluo Royalty's many years' friendship with Yanluo's so many years... We'll........ us' begs....
The Taiji Sect's old sect master and ancestors, who had been in despair and fear, seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope. They desperately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, hoping that Old Monster Tang would come out and plead for them.
"Junior knows his mistake. Senior Tang, please be magnanimous."
No one was unafraid of death.
Regardless of whether it was the old sect master or the Inner Pavilion Patriarchs, they were all the same. Cang Yun was even more afraid of death. Ignoring the pain all over his body, he stood up and kowtowed.
"You're siding with Sengoku to deal with us. You Thái Tông still have the face to talk about your friendship with Yanluo Royalty?"
Tang Laoguai said disdainfully. "I've warned you before, but you didn't listen. You acted recklessly. Who can you blame?"
Tang Laoguai knew that although the Thái Tông's' 'Sect Leader and the other Sect Leaders had the intention of siding with Sengoku, Cangkong, Xu Mu, and the others still supported Yanluo Royalty. Moreover, Yanluo Royalty and the Thái Tông had been friends for many years. In addition, Tang Laoguai had been friends with Xuan Ze for many years. If he could, he really wanted to plead on behalf of the Thái Tông.
However, he knew in his heart that if Gu Qingfeng insisted on killing the Thái Tông, even if he pleaded, it would be useless.
He was also quite puzzled. Why did Gu Qingfeng kill the people from the four major families and six major sects of Sengoku but leave the Thái Tông alive?
Was it because of their friendship in the past?
That shouldn't be the case.
Tang Laoguai knew that Gu Qingfeng didn't have any friendship with the Thái Tông. If he did, it would be with Xuan Ze.
Back then, Xuan Ze had given Gu Qingfeng some pointers. Could it be that this brat didn't make a move because of Xuan Ze's face?
Gu Qingfeng had always been loyal and righteous. He would always remember those who had helped him.
It must be because of Xuan Ze that this kid didn't act on the Thái Tông.
He thought of Xuan Ze.
Tang Laoguai couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Ever since Xuan Ze left the Jade Bamboo Forest, he hadn't seen him again. Could it be that this old guy had something to do outside?
That couldn't be right.
Tang Laoguai still clearly remembered that Xuan Ze had come out of seclusion this time because of the Thái Tông's calamity. Since he knew that the Thái Tông was facing this calamity, Xuan Ze couldn't have gone out.
The Thái Tông's calamity?
Wait a minute.
Tang Laoguai looked at Gu Qingfeng here, then looked at the cabinet elders kneeling on the ground. Only then did he realize that the Thái Tông's calamity was actually Gu Qingfeng.
This was simply …
On second thought, Tang Laoguai immediately speculated that Xuan Ze should know that the Thái Tông's calamity was related to Gu Qingfeng. He knew that he couldn't stop it, so he didn't appear.
Thinking of this, Tang Laoguai immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate. In his opinion, even if Xuan Ze knew that he couldn't stop the Thái Tông's calamity, he must be nearby today. Just as he was investigating, a person suddenly appeared in the field.
It was an old man with white hair and a beard.
The old man's face was solemn. He frowned, and his expression was extremely complicated.
It was Xuan Ze.
Xuan Ze was the most accomplished of the Thái Tông's successive Sect Masters. Whether it was prestige or influence, he was second only to the Thái Tông's Founder. In ancient times, he was a master who shocked this world. He had achieved immortality as early as five thousand years ago. After becoming an immortal, he abdicated his position and had been cultivating in seclusion in the Thái Tông. Whenever the Thái Tông was in trouble, he would appear to help the Thái Tông overcome the difficulties.
The Thái Tông's Old Sect Master and the cabinet elders had always known of Xuan Ze's existence and had even seen him. Not only had they seen him, but some of the elders had also received guidance from Xuan Ze.
At this moment, they saw Xuan Ze suddenly appear.
The Thái Tông's Old Sect Master and the cabinet elders were first shocked, and then they were overjoyed and excited.
"Our Thái Tông's Ancestor Xuan Ze is here."
"Everyone, quickly kneel down and greet the Ancestor."
Some of the younger disciples of the Thái Tông, including the current Sect Masters Cang Kong and Xu Mu, had never seen Xuan Ze before. They did not even know that this Ancestor was still alive. However, they had definitely heard of the Ancestor Xuan Ze's name because many of the mysterious immortal arts and abilities in the Thái Tông were created by Xuan Ze. They also knew that this Ancestor had become an immortal for five thousand years.
Upon hearing that this white-haired old man was the Ancestor Xuan Ze, Cang Kong, Xu Mu, and the other Thái Tông elders did not dare to be negligent and immediately knelt down to greet him.
"Ancestor Xuan Ze, please uphold justice for us. This Gu fiendish demon is preparing to slaughter our Thái Tông."
"Patriarch Xuanze, please take action and kill this fiendish demon surnamed Gu."
As the Thái Tông's Old Sect Master and the cabinet elders knelt down, they were also crying and begging the Ancestor to kill Gu Qingfeng. In particular, Deputy Sect Master Cangyun cried out at the top of his lungs. "Ancestor Xuan Ze, I'm your great-grand-disciple, Cangyun. This Gu fiendish demon used despicable means to harm us and even wanted to slaughter our Thái Tông. Please kill this fiendish demon and avenge us, Ancestor Xuan Ze."
