It would be a lie to say he wasn't simple.
Whether it was the Bloodseeker, Dragondestroyer, or even the Dao of Heaven, they all had grudges against Long Ao.
Long Ao wasn't strong enough yet, so there was no way he'd come looking for them.
Just because he didn't come now didn't mean he wouldn't in the future.
If Long Ao really did devour the primal chaos stele, then once he became a Ruler of the Stars, there was no doubt that Long Ao would come looking for them for revenge.
If Long Ao was alone, none of them would be afraid.
But that wasn't the case at all.
Long Ao wasn't alone.
Long Ao already had two ready-made Rulers of the Stars by his side, plus one who had also refined the primal chaos stele and become a Ruler of the Stars. That made a total of four Rulers of the Stars.
What kind of concept was that?
Four against one. Even if they couldn't kill him, they could probably suppress him.
They were very afraid.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Master God-Diviner understood what they were thinking. He was overjoyed. This was exactly the result he wanted.
"The three of you, while Long Ao hasn't refined the primal chaos stele and become a Ruler of the Stars, why don't we join forces to kill Long Ao? That way, we can cut the weeds and eliminate the roots."
Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, eliminating the roots.
In fact.
The three of them wanted to kill Long Ao, because they knew that as long as Long Ao was alive, he would always be a problem.
The reason they were doing this was to deal with Master God-Diviner. After all, they didn't have a good relationship with him.
On one side was Master God-Diviner, on the other was Long Ao. What should they do?
It was hard to choose.
"Master God-Diviner, what can you give us?"
"Nothing."
They didn't back down in the slightest.
Master God-Diviner was no fool. He knew that if he backed down, the three of them would take a step forward, and he would take a step back. If they took a step forward, he would be in a very passive position.
He couldn't back down even a single step.
Absolutely not.
If it were someone else, the three of them would definitely not back down so easily. Only Long Ao's situation was a little special.
The three of them looked at each other.
"Master God-Diviner," Yang Qi said. "We can work together, but on one condition."
"Please speak."
Blood Devil thought for a while and said, "After the five of us kill Long Ao together, we will divide the things on Long Ao equally."
"No."
Before Master God-Diviner could say anything, Ye Dugu spoke up. In the past, he wouldn't have said anything. But now that he had assimilated the primal-chaos stone steles and become the Sovereign Lord of the Starry Sky, he was basically on the same level as the other three.
However, what the three of them meant was very simple. Once they killed Long Ao, the items on Long Ao's body would be divided equally among the four of them. Wouldn't that be looking down on them?
"The three of you, it seems like you're treating me like thin air."
Blood Devil seemed to want to say something, but Dragon Annihilation stopped him.
"I almost forgot about you. Fine, the five of us will work together to deal with Long Ao. Once we kill Long Ao, we'll divide the things on Long Ao equally."
This was the fairest way. If Master God-Diviner didn't agree, then it would mean he wasn't sincere.
It was still the same sentence.
If they hadn't been in a hurry to kill Long Ao, Master God-Diviner wouldn't have agreed to this arrangement so casually. Even now, Master God-Diviner felt some regret. If he had been more decisive, then Blood Devil and the others wouldn't have been able to do anything in this vast universe.
However, it was too late to regret now.
Because of this.
Master God-Diviner didn't even think about it. He smiled and nodded. "Fine, no problem. Let's do it this way. As long as the five of us work together to kill Long Ao, then we'll divide the things on Long Ao equally. If one of us doesn't contribute, then not only will we not get anything, but we'll also be killed by the others. What do you think?"
The three of them also wanted to kill Long Ao very much, so they didn't dawdle.
Just like that.
The five of them came to an agreement in the shortest time possible. However, before killing Long Ao, they had to lock onto Long Ao's position first. Otherwise, everything would be nonsense.
Apart from Master God-Diviner and Yun Lu, no one else knew about the white-clothed girl. Otherwise, how could Blood Devil and the other two have agreed so easily?
In Master God-Diviner's opinion, even if Long Ao handed over all the other things on him, as long as he could control the white-clothed girl, it would be enough.
No matter how he calculated it, this was a sure win for him.
As for the matter of Spirit Sword Mountain, it was still the same. If Master God-Diviner did not mention it, no one would know about it. Especially now that Spirit Sword Mountain was guarded by Yun Lu and the other two. Even if others were to find out about it, no one would be willing to provoke Yun Lu and the others.
The vast starry sky was exceptionally calm.
Jianling Mountain.
As time passed, Yun He and Yun Tian's expressions grew more and more serious.
"Patriarch, something doesn't seem right."
Nodding his head, Yun Lu naturally knew that something was wrong. With a grave expression, he said, "Under normal circumstances, we should have succeeded by now. However, it seems that Cang Lin didn't just seal the passage, she even tampered with it. Cang Lin, Cang Lin, Cang Lin."
Yun Lu was furious to the extreme when he called Cang Lin 'Cang Lin' three times in a row. He thought that the matter he had been waiting for for countless years would finally succeed. However, he didn't expect that Cang Lin would secretly tamper with it, causing him to be at a loss as to what to do now.
"Patriarch, since Cang Lin doesn't want us to have an easy time, we don't need to be polite. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that Cang Lin is seriously injured and pursue her and destroy her in one fell swoop?"
Waving his hand to stop the two, Yun Lu said, "If it was anyone else, there wouldn't be the slightest problem. However, Cang Lin is the only one. You should know what Cang Lin represents. If we deal with her, things will only get worse."
Whether it was Yun He or Yun Tian, they were well aware of Cang Lin's identity. However, the two of them couldn't swallow their anger. They could have succeeded, but Cang Lin's sudden intervention had caused them to be in a passive position.
They were unwilling to give up just like that.
Could it be that they were going to let it go just like that?
How could Yun Lu not know what the two of them were thinking? He said helplessly, "Things haven't reached the point of no return. Cang Lin didn't take things too far. She just casually tampered with it. As long as we spend enough time, there is still hope for this matter. The two of you shouldn't act rashly."
Although they were unwilling, they felt even more helpless. After all, Cang Lin's identity was just too terrifying.
