"Very well!"
The Holy Elder's smile blossomed like a blooming flower.
This intoxicating smile not only left Gu Xuan dumbfounded, but even the core members of the Saint Island standing by the side were dumbfounded.
In their memories, the Holy Elder had never revealed such a radiant smile before.
To think that the Holy Elder would be so beautiful when she smiled!
The Holy Elder looked at Gu Xuan.
"I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant.
Of course, that is if neither you nor I die. "
Gu Xuan chuckled as a hint of curiosity flashed across his eyes.
"Holy Elder, please speak your mind. I would like to know if there's anything in the First Heaven of the Saint realm that can threaten the Holy Elder."
The Holy Elder seemed to be organizing her words. After a long while, she stared into Gu Xuan's eyes.
"Do you know why the guardian puppets are called guardian puppets?"
Gu Xuan chuckled. "I don't know, but I'd like to hear the details."
The core members of the Saint Island glanced at one another. If they still couldn't figure out what the Holy Elder was up to by now, they would really have lived their lives in vain.
A white-haired old man with a pale face took out a few pieces of the badge.
The token was a spatial artifact that was specially used to house the guardian puppets.
The guardian puppets would receive the best nourishment and protection within the token.
The energy of the guardian puppets that returned from missions could be replenished through the token.
Each of the badges and the puppet protectors could be said to be a whole.
Once the guardian puppets were destroyed, the token would shatter as well.
The elder holding the token fragments looked at Gu Xuan with resentment.
"As the name suggests, the guardian puppets are puppets.
Secondly, they are the personal guardians of the Holy Elder.
Their only purpose is to protect the Holy Elder.
Of course, after ensuring that the Holy Elder isn't in any danger, the guardian puppets will be one of the strongest trump cards of the Saint Island to carry out missions. "
The elder's heart ached as he spoke.
By the end of his words, he wanted to bite Gu Xuan a few times to let him know what it felt like to lose a chunk of flesh from his body.
He was the one who had forged the guardian puppets, and they were his flesh and blood.
Yet, Gu Xuan had ruined all of them with his underhanded means.
It was not a pleasant thing to be glared at by the resentful eyes of an old man.
As such, even though the elder was the one explaining the situation, Gu Xuan didn't even spare him a glance.
The Holy Elder was much more pleasing to the eye.
The Holy Elder added, "If the thirty-six puppets were to form a battle formation with me, I would truly be invincible in the Saint 1-dan realm.
Even if the remaining 24 Puppet Protectors join forces with them, I am confident that no one can defeat them. "
As the Holy Elder spoke, a hint of provocation could be seen in his eyes.
It was as if as long as the puppet protector was still around, it was unknown whether Gu Xuan could still stand here.
Gu Xuan's.
..........
...................
..........
Gu Xuan thought disdainfully.
Seeing that Gu Xuan didn't seem to believe him, the Holy Elder didn't intend to explain himself either. Instead, a hint of disdain surfaced on his face.
If the thirty-six guardian puppets were still around, they wouldn't even need to pay a heavy price to kill Gu Xuan. Gu Xuan was really lucky.
Of course, the Holy Elder kept those words to himself. After all, he was already prepared to work with Gu Xuan, so how could he possibly speak the truth?
"So, now that the guardian puppets have been destroyed, my safety is no longer guaranteed.
I have a powerful enemy, and she'll probably receive news of my whereabouts within three days. By then, she'll definitely come to kill me.
Three days is more than enough for me to come up with many countermeasures.
However, I only have a ten percent chance of victory.
And if I lose, I'll die!
Not only will I die, the entire Saint Island will be slaughtered by her! "
The Holy Elder spat through gritted teeth.
Gu Xuan stared at the Holy Elder curiously.
"Even if I want to kill you, it's unlikely that I'll be able to do so. After all, you are the ruler of the First Heaven of the Saint realm.
Furthermore, given your mastery of the water element, even if you lose, all you have to do is jump into the sea. Who will be able to kill you then? "
The Holy Elder looked at Gu Xuan as if he was looking at a fool.
Gu Xuan's lips twitched.
"What kind of look is that? Am I wrong?"
The Holy Elder rolled his eyes at Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan's lips twitched once more.
Even if I'm wrong, you should at least tell me the correct answer!
What's the point of rolling your eyes?
Do you know that I've never lost to you in terms of rolling my eyes?
The Holy Elder pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
"What is this?"
"Earth?"
"Wrong. This is the Island in the Sky, the Saint Island. It's my territory!"
"…"
Gu Xuan clutched his chest with a look that said, "You've won."
"Holy Elder, if you don't tell me what I'm wrong about, I'll spit blood all over your face!"
Gu Xuan threatened.
"How dare you!"
The Holy Elder sneered coldly.
"If I'm really as fearless as you say, once I enter the sea, what's the point of me holing up in the Sky Island?
Do you really think that I have nothing better to do?
Do you think that it's fun to bring out an Island in the Sky for no reason? "
The Holy Elder seemed to be venting the anger, resentment, and grievance that had accumulated in her heart for many years on Gu Xuan.
Following which, she pointed at Gu Xuan's nose and scolded him for a good fifteen minutes.
Gu Xuan's face had completely darkened.
If not for the fact that I still have to rely on you to reach the Second Heaven of Saint realm and obtain the fragment of heaven's will, I would have fallen out with you right now!
Are you addicted to scolding me?
Gu Xuan tried his best to suppress his anger, but in the end, he couldn't hold it in any longer. Just as he was about to retaliate, the Holy Elder retracted her finger from his nose and patted her chest. She put on the pretentious look of a little girl, and a smile appeared on her face once more.
"It's been a long time since I've scolded someone to my heart's content. After scolding you, I feel much better.
Huh? Your complexion doesn't look too good. Did I injure you in the battle earlier?
I have a few pills here … Forget it, just bear with it. I'll continue. "
The Holy Elder's nonchalant look left Gu Xuan gnashing his teeth in anger.
"That nemesis of mine lives in the Sky of Saint realm.
I might be the Holy Elder, but my control over the Sky of Saint realm is actually beneath hers.
That's because I only control a tenth of the land whereas she controls ninety percent of the ocean!
Thus, my plan is for you to work together with me to kill her. I want the entire Sky of Saint realm to fall into my hands! "
The Holy Elder said with a longing smile on her face.
Gu Xuan stroked his chin. He finally understood the situation.
"In other words, you're the weaker party at the moment, right?
She can launch a sneak attack on you at any moment. Even if you make preparations in advance, you only have a ten percent chance of victory, right?
On the other hand, she lives in the Sky of Saint realm. If we want to kill her, we'll have to enter the Sky of Saint realm, right?
And the Sky of Saint realm is her home ground!
Even if we were to make the first move, our chances of victory wouldn't be high, right? "
The Holy Elder stared at Gu Xuan warily.
"Your analysis is correct, but I feel that there's more to your words than meets the eye.
What are you trying to say? "
