The Worldly Daoist's words were more than just a bolt from the blue. They were like a meteor that struck everyone's heads!
The excited members of the Heaven's Response Sect, including the newly joined Martial Emperors and alchemists, were all stunned on the spot.
It was as if a heavy hammer had smashed into their hearts.
"Martial Emperors … of the Saint Realm?"
"The leader of the Taoism Sect is … of the Saint Realm?"
Everyone who heard the Worldly Daoist's words felt their bodies tremble and their throats dry up. They could not even speak properly.
The leader of the Taoism Sect was a martial artist of the Saint Realm?
There was a Saint Realm expert among the enemies of the Heaven's Response Sect?
It was not only the members of the Heaven's Response Sect who were stunned.
In front of the Dark Light Mirrors on the Burning Sky Continent, the core members of the hidden forces were also stunned.
The higher-ups of the third-rate forces, especially, felt their legs and stomachs tremble.
Although they had already guessed it, they were still terrified when the news was confirmed.
In the third-rate forces, Half-Saints were the most respected. There were no Saint Realm experts in their forces.
As a hidden force, they had a deeper understanding of the phrase "those below the Saint Realm are ants" than the other major forces.
No matter how strong a third-rate force was, if they provoked a Saint Realm expert, they would be annihilated.
Gu Xuan had killed seven Half-Saints. Everyone in the hidden forces thought that the Heaven's Response Sect was in the bag. The Taoism Sect would be powerless and would not continue to attack the Heaven's Response Sect.
Everyone was glad that the Elixir Emperor had not fallen.
However, this little bit of rejoicing disappeared in a short period of time.
It was all because of the Worldly Daoist's few words.
Many of the forces who had sent people to ambush the Heaven's Response Sect, ready to rescue Gu Xuan, were terrified.
Fortunately, the people they had sent did not even have the chance to attack.
Otherwise, if they had injured or even killed the Taoism Sect's people, how terrible would the consequences be?
Even the second-rate forces among the reclusive forces had sage realm experts. However, they were still scared. In fact, they were a lot more scared than the people of the third-rate forces.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Sage Stage Old Ancestor that they were aware of how terrifying the wrath of a Sage Stage Old Ancestor could be.
The might of the Saint Realm could shatter mountains and rivers with a single punch, break the firmament with a single palm, and overturn the sun, moon, and stars with a single kick.
Once a Saint Realm expert was angered, blood would flow for thousands of miles, and hundreds of millions of corpses would float. Even if it was a good world, it could still turn into a hell of Asura under his anger.
Such a terrifying existence was actually challenging Gu Xuan to a battle at Cloud Cauldron Mountain.
It was like a grown man challenging a child to a duel.
No matter how strong this child was, he wouldn't be able to withstand a punch from an adult.
This was originally a very comical matter, but what was even more comical was that Gu Xuan agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Gu Xuan smiled faintly as he watched the Worldly Daoist leave.
"The word 'escape' doesn't exist in my dictionary! I'll say the same thing again. Let your Dao Sect's Sect Leader wash his dog head properly! "
Gu Xuan's words were even more arrogant and overbearing.
"Hmph!"
The Worldly Daoist finally lost his temper, causing the space to tremble. However, he only harrumphed coldly and said nothing else.
If he continued talking to Gu Xuan, he would definitely be angered to death.
Gu Xuan's mouth was poisonous.
Whoosh!
Gu Xuan descended from the sky. Mo Jingyun, the Elder of Imparting Techniques, Elder Zi, and the other upper echelons immediately surrounded him. Their expressions were solemn, and they wanted to say something, but they didn't.
They clearly had many things to say and questions to ask, but when they really wanted to speak, they didn't know what to say first.
Gu Xuan gestured for them to keep quiet.
"I know you're feeling very complicated right now, but trust me. Everything will be fine. When have I, Gu Xuan, ever disappointed you?
Isn't it just a Saint Realm expert? I, Gu Xuan, can kill him!
Follow my previous arrangements and strengthen the sect's defenses. I'm afraid that someone will cause trouble at Ying Tian Sect while I'm fighting with the Dao Sect's Sect Leader. "
The Elder of Imparting Techniques and Elder Zi looked at each other and saw a bitter smile on each other's face.
At this point, who would be foolish enough to cause trouble at Ying Tian Sect?
What was the point of causing trouble?
After all, whether Ying Tian Sect could continue to exist after tomorrow was another question.
The Elven Emperor stood quietly on the sentry tower not far away.
Others might suspect that Gu Xuan was boasting, but she didn't.
This was a very strange feeling. On the surface, Gu Xuan was definitely going to die in tomorrow's battle.
However, she didn't think so.
"Do you need me, the Guardian, to take part in tomorrow's battle?"
The Elven Emperor's expression was very calm.
Her words naturally attracted everyone's attention.
However, everyone thought that she was just being polite.
Although the Elven Emperor was strong, there was a limit to his strength. It could be seen from the battle with the Dao Sect's Half-saint that the Elven Emperor would not be a match for a Saint Realm expert.
Gu Xuan looked at the Elven Emperor and smiled.
Only he could tell that the Elven Imperial Emperor's words were sincere.
As long as he nodded, the Elven Emperor would not back down and would really accompany him in the battle.
"There's no need. Just protect Ying Tian Sect for me. That's enough!"
Gu Xuan said calmly as he glanced at Half-saint Withered Grass.
Half-saint Withered Grass was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He said, "Don't look at me. I'm not stupid. If you ask me to fight with the Dao Sect's Sect Leader, I'll die!"
Gu Xuan pursed his lips.
"You're a Half-saint after all. Why are you so timid?"
Half-saint Withered Grass flung his long sleeves and said angrily, "You're going to die, but I'm not going. If I were you, I'd pack up tonight and escape immediately. Follow me back to Crimson Moon Mountain … "
"Shut up!"
An angry roar made Half-saint Withered Grass's ears ring.
The corners of Gu Xuan's mouth twitched. Of course, it wasn't him who said that. It was Big Stone!
"Oh my god, this Great Stone Ancestor is just going back to sleep. What are you chattering on my head for?!"
Big Stone was lying on the ground. He pulled his head out from the ground and yawned. He stared at Half-saint Withered Grass in dissatisfaction. It was obvious that he had just woken up.
"What a joker. He's so careless!"
Gu Xuan shook his head and returned to the Heaven Reaching Tower.
The Blood Ancestor descended from the sky and landed beside Big Stone. He laughed strangely.
"Big brother, you didn't hear it just now. Our Sect Leader is very impressive. He said that he's going to cut off the head of the Dao Sect's Sect Leader, a Saint Realm martial artist!"
Hearing this, Big Stone, who had just stood up, fell to the ground with a thud. He was seeing stars above his head.
Half-saint Withered Grass glanced at Big Stone.
"Bullsh * t, Big Stone Ancestor. When he heard this news, he was so scared that he peed his pants! You … "
However, Half-saint Withered Grass couldn't finish his sentence.
That was because there was no fear in Big Stone's eyes at all. Instead, his eyes were shining with excitement.
"Oh my god! Lord Gu Xuan is going to fight with a Saint Realm martial artist? This is … too exciting! "
