In everyone's opinion, the Heavenly Way, the Immortal Way, and the Buddhist Way had already issued their ultimatum, and the Great Dao's judgment would descend at any time. If it were anyone else at this time, no matter how brave they were, no matter how powerful they were, they would definitely be in awe, fear, and dread.
But what was unbelievable was that the white-robed man was still quietly standing in the void, silently holding little Jin Er.
Awe?
Fear?
Fear?
None!
None at all!
Not only was there no awe, no fear, and no dread, there was not even a trace of worry on his cold face. There was only silence, endless silence, endless silence.
Only the white robe that was whiter than snow was gently fluttering.
Only the devilish black hair was slightly dancing in the wind.
Other than that, there was nothing.
It was as if the Heavenly Way, the Immortal Way, and the Buddhist Way were not issuing their ultimatum to him, and the Great Dao's judgment did not descend because of him. He was completely like an outsider, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.
What right did he have to be so fearless?
What right did he have to be so calm?
What right did he have to be so calm?
No one knew.
Rumble — —
In the sky, the blood moon trembled more and more violently, and the evil blood-red brilliance grew stronger and stronger. The mysterious power contained in it also became more and more terrifying, and the Buddhist swastika that sealed it became more and more blurry, like a candle in the wind, and also like smoke, as if it would collapse and disappear in the next moment.
Finally.
Gu Qingfeng raised his head and glanced indifferently at the blood moon in the sky, which seemed like it would break the seal at any time. But it was only a glance, and then he asked, "White-brow holy monk, can I ask you a question?"
No one expected Gu Qingfeng to say such a thing at this time, including the White-brow holy monk. He was first startled, and then he replied, "Lay Buddhist Gu, please ask."
"Today, regardless of whether I will hand over the Buddha of All Lives and the Pilgrimage of All Things, you will take little Jin Er back to the Western Heaven, right?"
Perhaps he did not expect Gu Qingfeng to suddenly ask such a question, but White-brow replied, "Yes."
"Why?"
"The heavens are virtuous, and Buddha is merciful. Little Jin Er is innocent. At least, she is innocent before she brings disaster. Today, whether or not Scholar Ancient will hand over the Buddha and Ten Thousand Elephants Worship, this old monk will take little Jin Er back to the Western Paradise!"
"I believe what you said, and I also believe that you will do this."
Gu Qingfeng said, then asked, "If I don't hand over little Jin Er, you will definitely snatch her away, right?"
When Gu Qingfeng asked this question, Bai Mei's expression changed slightly, as if he was guilty. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and replied, "Yes."
Many people were puzzled by his response. They couldn't figure it out or understand it.
Since little Jin Er was the bane of the Lawless Era, they should take precautions and kill her on the spot.
Even if the Buddhists of Western Heaven were merciful, they wouldn't go so far as to snatch this mercy.
Moreover, the Immortal Path, Heavenly Path, and Buddhism all knew that Gu Qingfeng cared about little Jin Er. That was why they used little Jin Er's life to threaten Gu Qingfeng to hand over the Buddha and Ten Thousand Elephants Worship. Why did White-brow mean that regardless of whether Gu Qingfeng would hand over the Buddha, White-brow Holy Monk would take little Jin Er back to the Western Heaven? Moreover, if Gu Qingfeng didn't give it to him, would he snatch it away?
Why was this so?
Many people didn't know why.
Su'Er didn't understand either.
At this moment,
Gu Qingfeng also asked, "Why?"
Everyone wanted to know why, but for some reason, when Gu Qingfeng asked, White-brow Holy Monk actually lowered his head and chose to remain silent.
This time, Su'Er was even more confused.
"You said that taking little Jin Er back to the Western Heaven was out of mercy. I believe you. You said that little Jin Er was innocent, I also believe you. You said that prevention is better than cure, I also believe you. But there's another reason that I'm afraid you didn't say. It should also be to threaten me, right?"
When she heard the word "threat."
Su'Er finally understood and finally realized that the Western Heaven's visit this time was absolutely well-planned. They had thought of all possibilities and considered all consequences.
They knew that Gu Qingfeng cared about little Jin Er, so they used little Jin Er's life to threaten him.
If Gu Qingfeng handed over the Buddha and Ten Thousand Elephants Worship, it would be best.
If he didn't hand it over.
They would kill Gu Qingfeng at all costs.
But after all, Gu Qingfeng's existence was unpredictable, and none of them were absolutely sure that they could kill him. If they couldn't kill Gu Qingfeng, they would try their best to snatch the Buddha and Ten Thousand Elephants Worship.
And if they couldn't even snatch the Buddha and Ten Thousand Elephants Worship, then they would settle for the next best thing, and snatch little Jin Er.
They might not have absolute certainty that they could kill Gu Qingfeng or snatch the Buddha and Ten Thousand Elephants Worship, but they were absolutely sure that they could snatch little Jin Er. As long as they could snatch little Jin Er, guarding against unknown disasters was secondary. The most important thing was that they could use little Jin Er to threaten Gu Qingfeng in the future.
Too terrible!
Too despicable, too shameless, and too insidious.
Immortal Dao, Heavenly Dao, and Buddhist Dao!
They were all jackals of the same tribe!
They had completely forced Gu Qingfeng into a dead end this time.
What would Gu Qingfeng do?
Would he hand over the Buddha and Ten Thousand Elephants Worship?
If he handed it over, it would be equivalent to handing over his amulet. How could this group of people let him go?
But if he didn't hand it over, what else could he do?
Facing the encirclement of Heavenly Dao, Buddhist Dao, and Immortal Dao, Gu Qingfeng couldn't even guarantee his own life, how could he guarantee little Jin Er's life?
This was really a dead end, a dead end.
"Amitabha!" The white-browed holy monk said again, "Since Layman Gu has already seen through it, I don't want to hide it, and I don't want to say anything more. You can call me despicable, insidious, shameless, and hypocritical, but I'm willing to sacrifice everything for the world. I hope Layman Gu can hand over the Buddha and Ten Thousand Elephants Worship."
Gu Qingfeng said bluntly, "If I hand it over, I'll die. If I don't hand it over, I'll also die. If that's the case, why should I hand it over?"
The white-browed holy monk wanted to speak, but before he could, he was interrupted by Gu Qingfeng, "Today, if you dare to say that I, Gu Qingfeng, can live if I hand over the Buddha, then I'll definitely hand it over. Do you dare to say this?"
The white-browed holy monk was silent. He didn't dare to say this, and he didn't have the right to say it. He might be able to sacrifice everything for the world, but he couldn't do it if he had to go against his conscience.
Yes.
He couldn't do it.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't do it. He cultivated a compassionate heart, and he couldn't go against it.
"Sir Ancient's life and death is not something this old monk has the right to decide. This old monk does not hope to gain Sir Ancient's understanding, nor do I hope that Sir Ancient will be merciful and think of the common people of the world. I only hope that Sir Ancient will remember the pure and innocent Little Jin 'er and not be obstinate and obstinate."
"It's for little Jin Er that I can't hand it over."
"You don't care about your own life, but do you also not care about little Jin Er's life?"
Gu Qingfeng casually replied, "I'm sorry, but that's not something you should worry about."
The white-browed holy monk almost shouted, "Why?"
"There's no reason. The reason is simple. You're doing it for the sake of the world," Gu Qingfeng replied, "and I'm doing it for little Jin Er."
He didn't understand.
The white-browed holy monk really didn't know what Gu Qingfeng wanted to do this time.
He didn't understand, and the others didn't either.
But there was one person who understood.
This person was none other than Su'Er.
She recklessly rushed over and stood in front of Gu Qingfeng. She trembled as she asked, "Gu Qingfeng, what … what do you want to do?"
"Destroy the Great Dao, destroy the world, and destroy the heavens and earth."
Just nine words.
There was no sound or power, but when it reached everyone's ears, it was earth-shattering.
Su'Er was even more terrified. She asked in shock, "Do you … want to start a war with the 3,000 Great Daos?"
Gu Qingfeng, who had his head lowered, finally raised it at this moment. His cold face was still expressionless, and his dark eyes were still silent. He looked at Su'Er and said calmly, "Why not?"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"What if you die because of this?"
"Then … I'll die because of this!"
With that, Gu Qingfeng turned around, hugged little Jin Er, and was about to soar into the air. Su'Er said with tears in her eyes, "Promise me you won't die."
Gu Qingfeng stopped, but he didn't turn around. He only replied with one word, "Okay!"
"I'll wait for you!"
"Remember to bring good wine and wait for me together!"
