Xuan Zun was silent for a while, then said, "When did you begin to suspect me?"
Daoist Long said leisurely, "Actually, we've never truly trusted you. Even though you've always restrained yourself, didn't give yourself away, and rarely interacted with others, what you've done isn't from your heart. That alone is the biggest flaw. "
Xuan Zun said slowly, "So that's how it is." He raised his head and looked at Daoist Long, saying, "I've guessed many people, but I didn't expect it to be you. Did you seek refuge in Shangchen, or in You City? "
Daoist Long stood with his hands behind his back, saying, "Strictly speaking, neither. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think much of them."
Xuan Zun stared at him, saying, "Then why did you do this? You're not a reckless cultivator, and you can't possibly gain any benefits from the Turbid Tide. "
"You're asking me why I did this?"
Daoist Long looked over and sneered, saying, "Because I've long had enough."
He seemed to have thought of something, and a look of disgust appeared on his face, "Xuanting has set up countless rules over the years, but none of them are to restrain us. Look at our fellow Daoists now, all of them are cautious and cautious, afraid of breaking any rules.
We cultivators should be unrestrained, transcending the heavens and earth. How free and unfettered is that? Why do we have to condescend to mere mortals? "
Xuan Zun was silent for a moment, then said, "If you have such thoughts, then you're no different from those people in Shangchen and You City."
Daoist Long snorted, then looked into the distance, saying, "Do you know fellow Daoist Li? He's cultivated for nearly a thousand years, known as Xuan Zun, but because he killed a few lowly mortals, he was imprisoned and sentenced for his crimes. How laughable is that?
When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but grieve for him. I thought that this couldn't go on. Even a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation would struggle once or twice. I wanted to try to change something. "
Dai Xuan Zun didn't say anything at first, but he seemed to have thought of something and looked up at him.
Taoist Master Long looked at him and said, "It seems that you've thought of it as well." He smiled meaningfully and said, "Since this door has been opened, how can I let my generation monopolize it? Naturally, all sides will enjoy this benefit together."
Xuan Zun didn't say anything, but at this time, his body suddenly became slightly weak, and at the same time, a destructive aura spread out from his body.
However, Daoist Long raised his hand casually. Immediately, a dragon claw condensed from golden light pressed against his shoulder, stabilising his body and immobilising him.
He said, "Dai Xuan Zun, don't think about giving up. We still need you to stay here."
They wouldn't kill Xuan Zun's doppelganger. At most, they would just restrain him. This was because once the doppelganger was destroyed, the main body would know. Although they didn't know what exactly happened here, the destruction of Xuan Zun's doppelganger was extremely important. They would definitely investigate from the higher-ups.
Although they had made other arrangements for today's matter, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be any mistakes. Therefore, it was better to be safe.
Xuan Zun said in a deep voice, "Dai Xuan Zun, Daoist Long's main body is here. Your actions are meaningless. Don't do anything unnecessary."
Generally speaking, if Xuan Zun went to the outer layer, he would definitely be attacked by the Outer Evil in the void. He would be worn down from time to time. If he used divine arts, he would attract even more Outer Evil to his body. If he wasn't careful, his pure body would be contaminated, and he would need to refine and dispel it later.
However, now that the door to the inner and outer layer was open, he was able to avoid these effects by just standing in the crack. He could use his power without any scruples.
Xuan Zun seemed to have heard what Daoist Long said, and also seemed to have admitted defeat. The aura on his body gradually calmed down.
Daoist Long said, "Very good." He looked into the distance. "Come down. You just need to watch."
Not long after he said that, in the void at the edge of the Mansion of Kui, a glowing mist vortex that looked like the Heavenly Gate suddenly appeared out of thin air.
This ball of light suddenly shone brightly, and then a boundless crack opened up. Then, one after another, enormous, flat gray creatures crawled out from within. They were shaped like long fish, and there were long gray whiskers on the sides and below.
Their bodies were bumpy, with layers of shells of different sizes and directions stacked on their torsos from front to back. Their entire bodies were wrapped in a cloud of spiritual radiance in the form of smoke.
These creatures were dozens of miles long, and the smallest ones were thousands of feet long. They came from afar like strange flying boats.
Xuan Zun immediately recognized the origin of these creatures. He said in a deep voice, "Gods Tai Bo …"
However, at a glance, he could tell that there were at least a million divine monsters in the first batch. With such a large number, it would be impossible for them to bypass the surveillance of the outer layer of Tianxia and invade this place.
He looked at Xuan Zun and said, "Shen Ao, did you let them come here?"
Xuan Zun said expressionlessly, "The Mansion of Lou is under attack now, and your Mansion of Kui's army has been sent there. You don't have the strength to keep an eye on everything. My stomach only needs to open a small crack, and they can come here."
Daoist Long said with interest, "According to the people below, it's said that after the end of the last era, these ferocious creatures that devour living creatures should have been favored by the heavens and the earth, and should have the opportunity to rise. However, this opportunity was taken by our Tianxia. Now that I've sent them back, it can be considered as fulfilling their wish."
He snorted. "And with these creatures in front of us, we can cover our tracks."
Xuan Zun said in a deep voice, "Can you achieve what you want just by doing this?"
Daoist Long glanced at him and said indifferently, "Of course we know that these Gods Tai Bo alone can't be Tianxia's opponent, but we're just using them to extend the door to communicate with the outside world.
Once this door is opened, not to mention Shangchen and You City, even the evil gods in the heavens will be like mosquitoes and flies, chasing blood … "
At this point, he raised his voice and said, "When the time comes, the Xuanting will know who they need to rely on. It's us, the cultivators, and not those ant-like mortals!"
Xuan Zun was silent for a moment, then said, "You can't win."
Daoist Long sneered, "Then let's wait and see."
Xuan Zun looked at Dai Xuan Zun and said, "Fellow Daoist Dai, do you think we want to do this?
Previously, when the Turbid Tide came, all of you comprehended a lot of mysteries, but the Xuanting forbade us from cultivating and researching. This is clearly blocking our path of cultivation. Now, the Xuanting has even proposed to establish rules and regulations to forever sever the cultivation of this Dao.
You're also a Monk Hunjang, so you should understand that this is a struggle for the Dao! We have no choice but to fight! "
Xuan Zun said in a deep voice, "No matter what you say, you colluded with the other races and attempted to restore Tianxia's consciousness. Your crimes are unforgivable."
As soon as he said this, Daoist Long and Xuan Zun both felt a sense of foreboding. Then, they saw a two-foot-long golden circle appear in the field for no reason.
This golden circle shone with a brilliant light, and the pattern of mountains and rivers circled around it. As soon as it appeared, a grand and majestic sound penetrated their minds.
When the two of them saw this item, their expressions changed.
"The Mountain River Circle?"
As soon as this golden circle appeared, it released a myriad of brilliance, instantly illuminating the void and affecting the entire Kui Mansion.
Whether it was Daoist Long, Xuan Zun, or the monsters that appeared in the distance, they were all frozen in place when this light shone on them.
Xuan Zun looked at Daoist Long and said calmly, "You asked me if I could send a message to the Xuanting Body. I don't need to do that. This item is enough to control you!"
For today's matter, he had considered the possibility of being exposed. How could he not have made preparations in advance?
Daoist Long only looked at him coldly.
Xuan Zun instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have much choice at this time. With a shift of his mind, he broke through the seal on the outside and sent a message to the Xuanting Body.
However, just as he channeled his mental power, a sudden obscure aura emerged from his body, causing his aura to stagnate for no reason.
It was at this moment that a jade-like hand reached out from the void and grabbed the Ring of Mountains and Rivers, suppressing the light on it in an instant. His mind trembled as he felt that he was no longer connected to the treasure.
Daoist Long immediately broke free from the Mountain River Circle's suppression. His vertical pupils flashed, and he snorted, releasing his magic power to suppress him again.
After the hand appeared, an elegant white-haired Daoist walked out. He was dressed in a crane cloak, and his entire body was shrouded in a gray mist.
Xuan Zun immediately recognized this person. His eyes narrowed. "Hunkong Laozu?"
Hunkong Laozu grabbed the golden circle with one hand, causing it to vibrate. He glanced at it and sighed. "Mountain River Circle, long time no see."
He reached out and touched it gently, and the golden light on the circle immediately receded. He then looked at Daoist Long and said indifferently, "Daoist Dai, when you transformed my precious treasure that day, I told you that my method coincides with the cycle of heaven and earth. If it is lacking, it will be filled. It should be here now!"
Xuan Zun thought about the scene that day and the abnormality of this incarnation. After a moment of silence, he said, "So this was also your plan. You've been colluding with each other for a long time."
Forefather Turbid Void admitted, "That's right. If my disciple can succeed on Planet Guo, it'll be his own fortune. If he doesn't, I'm sure the treasures he left behind will end up in your hands. I already knew that day that you and I weren't on the same path."
Daoist Long said, "Daoist Hun Kong, there's no need to say so much to him. More important matters are more important. If the commotion just now were to spread, Xuanting would most likely know."
Hunkong Laozu could not help but nod. He reached out and pointed. The silver Earth Star that was originally sealed in the depths of Kui Mansion suddenly broke its seal and revealed itself. Under the influence of his magic power, it slowly moved towards Kui Mansion.
At this moment, he looked in a certain direction and said, "Daoist Fei, since you're here, why don't you show yourself?"
A cloud of ghostly mist appeared in the distance. A Daoist with a fishtail crown and a horsetail whisk in his hand walked out with a gloomy expression.
Hunkong Laozu said, "Daoist Fei, let's work together to move the stars and set up a formation. This way, even if Xuanting notices, he won't be able to disturb us for a while."
Daoist Fei said indifferently, "That's how it should be."
With a wave of his horsetail whisk, You City, which was also sealed in the Kui Mansion, also broke out of the seal and arrived in the sky above the silver planet that had been refined. Its appearance was exactly the same as the Kui Mansion Heavenly City that stood on the Earth Star.
It was obvious that he wanted to use this star to replace the Kui Mansion's Heavenly Star. He wanted to control the stars and turn the entire Kui Mansion into a great formation!
