The Daoist at the head of the table watched as Gu Yangzi's figure slowly dissipated. He sighed imperceptibly.
As the person overseeing the Clear Sky Realm, he could be said to be Tianxia's last line of defense. He had to ensure that he could stop any accidents before they happened.
The threats he faced were not only those in front of him, but also those in the depths of the void. There could also be those from the inner layer.
Therefore, he would not personally enter the battlefield until the very last moment. However, even if he did not move, he could watch the battle from a higher level and save the situation at the crucial moment.
Chen Tingzhi took a few steps forward and used a spell to sense. After confirming that Gu Yangzi was indeed dead, he turned to look at the other two battlefields and said in a deep voice, "It's time to clean up this person."
Zhang Yu glanced outside and nodded slightly.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a message coming from Xuntian Dao Zhang. He went up and heard Daoist Feng's voice, "The Imperial Court has ordered you to return to the Thousand Luminaries Great Formation and guard it to ensure safety."
He thought about it and nodded. It was not important whether he participated in the next battle or not. With Chen Tingzhi around, it was enough to fight against the remaining two.
Now, he had to guard against Huanyang and Shenzhao Sects who saw that there was no hope would do something crazy that would harm Tianxia. Moreover, Guan Chaosheng might return at any time. He had to be on guard.
He nodded at Chen Tingzhi. As a golden light descended from the sky, he disappeared from the battlefield.
Tian Hong and Lingdu both sensed Gu Yangzi's death. They knew that they had no chance of winning. This was because Tianxia would definitely have more manpower to use.
Gu Yangzi originally wanted to use his own explosive strength to break through the magic items that were restricting the two of them, but in the end, they were all sent into the void by the Chief Daoist, and did not sink down at all. Therefore, the situation did not change at all, and the two of them were still trapped there.
On Daoist Tian Hong's side, due to the restriction of the golden net, it was difficult for him to fully display the power of his escape technique. Now, he was forced into a disadvantageous position by Daoist Zhengqing and was in an extremely passive situation.
He and Daoist Zhengqing had never discussed the Dharma before, but he had seen him in action. Originally, he thought that since Zhengqing had been banished by Tianxia for hundreds of years, without the nourishment of the Xuan food, and also being worn down by the Heaven and Earth, even if his cultivation had not declined, he should not have made any progress.
But after exchanging blows, he discovered that it was not the case at all. Needless to say, the transformation of this person's mana was already at the pinnacle of perfection. The depth of this person's mana was far beyond his expectations.
This was either Zhengqing's full strength that he had seen in the past was not the full extent of his strength, or in these three hundred years, not only did his Dharma cultivation not decline, it had instead improved.
Thinking about the characteristics of Zhengqing's cultivation, he could not help but have a vague understanding.
At this moment, he saw a shadow appear in the sky above, and then a golden light flashed. Chen Tingzhi descended from the sky. When he arrived here, he saw that he did not hesitate at all. His mana gathered, and wrapped in the Qi of the Clear Sky, he rushed towards Tian Hong.
Just now, when he joined forces with Zhang Yu to deal with Gu Yangzi, he also came to a conclusion. Compared to using mana to attack, this method of directly using the Qi of the Clear Sky was more useful. Therefore, he used this method right from the start.
Daoist Zhengqing did not receive a notification, but when he saw Chen Tingzhi make a move, he did not need to say anything at all, and he knew how to cooperate. He also gathered his mana, moved the Qi of the Clear Sky, and pressed it towards Daoist Tian Hong.
Daoist Tian Hong was different from people like Gu Yangzi who were skilled in defense. His strength was in shifting and turning into shadows. In fact, even if there was not enough space, he could still use it in close proximity. He could find ways to avoid all kinds of Dharma, and prevent them from landing on his body.
This was also why he could resist Zhengqing for so long in a disadvantageous situation. However, at this moment, with Chen Tingzhi, it was different.
He could avoid one person's attack, but he could not avoid the other. In almost a few breaths' time, he was forced into an absolute disadvantage. If there was no external help, then the outcome could be determined.
On the other side, Long Huai persuaded another person to surrender with the help of Daoist Chang. He was very satisfied, and had higher expectations of Daoist Chang. He asked, "Daoist Chang, can Ying Chong be persuaded to surrender?"
Daoist Chang said, "Elder Ying's thoughts are too deep. If he chooses to surrender, then it must be because he is willing to surrender, and not because of us."
Long Huai said, "Why don't we give it a try?"
Daoist Chang said, "Then why don't we go somewhere else first. If Elder Ying does not agree, there might be a fierce battle. Then, we will miss the chance to persuade the other Daoists to surrender."
Long Huai thought deeply and said, "That makes sense."
Just as they were talking, a burst of intense light suddenly exploded in the distant sky. Their surroundings suddenly darkened, and then, a violent explosion came. The rumbling sound rolled in the sky, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust rushed high into the sky. The aftermath of the impact pushed over and brushed past their bodies. It could be seen that everything around them had been turned into thick black smoke and dust that rapidly flew past them. The mana and spiritual light that they used to protect their bodies actually swayed because of this.
Daoist Xue was shocked and doubtful. "Is that … Exalted Tian Hong?"
After trying a few times, Tian Hong realized that he could not break through the siege of Chen Tingzhi and Daoist Zhengqing. He knew that he had no chance. In addition, Gu Yangzi had died, and it was obvious that Shangchen would be destroyed this time. He did not want to die in the hands of these two people, so he decisively chose to use up all of his divine energy and explode himself.
However, he was not like Guyang. He did not have any special divine abilities to complement it. The power that exploded was far weaker than before. Zhengqing and Chen Tingzhi worked together to block it, and the Xuan Zun behind them relied on the power of the formation to cover up the remaining power that was scattered.
At this moment, Lingdu Daoist was fighting with Wu Qingxu. He sensed that Tian Hong's vital energy was cut off. He sighed inwardly and circulated his mana, releasing all of the green spirit vitality that he could control.
Wu Qingxu immediately became alert and retreated.
However, after Lingdu Daoist forced him to retreat, he did not attack again. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "Daoist Wu, may I say something? After I say this, I'm at your disposal. "
Wu Qingxu looked at him and nodded his head.
Lingdu Daoist slowly leaped up and used the Cymbidium Lucidum to transmit his voice, "Fellow Daoists of Shangchen, listen up. Guyang and Tian Hong have passed away. I'm now in charge of Shangchen. As the head of Shangchen, I hereby announce that because of your weak resistance, you will be expelled from Shangchen from today onwards. You will no longer be under the sect of Shangchen."
In fact, for a sect, ordinary disciples could be expelled at will. However, when it came to the elders of the sect, they still had to report to their ancestors. They also had to gather their fellow disciples to determine the punishment and record it in a book. In short, there was a certain etiquette that had to be followed.
However, he said this today to give the remaining people a reason to leave the sect. He gave them another choice. No matter what they did in the future, they could do it.
After he finished speaking, he landed on the ground and removed the Taoist technique that was protecting his body. He sat down cross-legged and said to Wu Qingxu, "As I said before, I am at your disposal."
It was not that he was reluctant to take his own life. Since he had promised Wu Qingxu that he would be at his disposal, he had to keep his promise.
Moreover, he also wanted to see how far Tianxia could go since he was not in Shangchen.
If he could not go far, then even though Tianxia had won this battle, it might not be a true victory. Sometimes, some things did not have to go forward. They could also go backward.
On the other side of the passage between the two worlds, several elders of Huanyang school were gathered. Elder Shen said with a serious expression, "The situation in Shangchen is not right. We have to think of a way out."
Elder Fang said with a ruthless expression, "We can't just leave like this. We have to leave something behind to cause trouble for Tianxia. Otherwise, Tianxia will come after us."
Daoist Shusun said, "We have to discuss this matter with Li Shangzun. If Shenzhao's Dao Guarding Treasure can help, then we don't have to waste our energy."
While they were talking, a figure that was emitting golden light suddenly crossed the passage between the two worlds and appeared in the distant sky. The elders were shocked when they saw this. Could it be that Tianxia's cultivator was coming?
That person didn't move forward. Instead, he stood there motionlessly. Then, layers of golden sand fell off his body. A young Daoist stood in the dazzling light. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, it's been a long time since we last met."
Daoist Shusun's expression relaxed. However, he was still on guard. He said, "So it's Exalted Xian Ding."
The other elders were all bewildered. Previously, they had heard that Chen Tian had sent a message saying that You City was standing outside and would not participate in this battle. However, it was obvious that he had appeared here at this time. Even though it was just an illusion, it was hard to say what his purpose was.
Daoist Xian Ding smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he looked to the side and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, why don't you come over for a chat?" “
A light flashed. The old Daoist's shadow also appeared in the field. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xian Ding. According to the rumors in Shangchen, Fellow Daoist has established another sect under the orders of the Grandmaster. Thus, you won't participate in the battle between our families. Now that you are here, do you have any advice for us?"
The elders of Huanyang school stared at Xian Ding.
Daoist Xian Ding smiled. He bowed to the old Daoist first. Then, he looked at the others and said, "Nothing else. You City is willing to leave with everyone. Are you willing to accept us?"
Elder Fang snorted and said, "Who said we are leaving?"
Daoist Xian Ding casually glanced at him. Elder Fang saw the cold light in his eyes and was shocked. He did not dare to say anything else.
The old Daoist said slowly, "This is strange. How can other places be better than this world? We have to think of a way to return there, but Fellow Daoist wants to leave?"
Daoist Xian Ding said slowly, "Although this world is good, it has no place for us. Once Shangchen falls, Tianxia will definitely attack You City. I have no other choice."
These words were very convincing.
Everyone relaxed. As long as Xian Ding did not come to oppose them, then the rest of the matter could be discussed.
Xian Ding continued, "Now that Guyang and Tian Hong are dead, Fellow Daoist Lingdu is alone. Once Shangchen falls, Tianxia will definitely attack everyone. Now that You City has refined a Dao Guarding Treasure, we can work together and make Tianxia wary. Then, we can easily retreat."
