Xuanri Mountain, Sacrificial Divine Hall.

"Stepfather…take your mother…"

Lu Yunzhu, who cursed crudely, opened her eyes, wishing she could tear Huang Ningshang into pieces.

She still held suspicions in her heart, so at this moment she only had one feeling: that woman Huang Ningshang wasn't even acting anymore!

Would you accept me as your goddaughter?

At this moment, Lu Yunzhu's emotions were turbulent, so intense that she couldn't control her mood, causing her Daoist skill of Divine Traveling to break.

After calming down for a while, the rise and fall of her chest finally subsided slowly.

Lu Yunzhu did not resume her Divine Traveling.

No need.

Huang Ningshang dared to appear in front of her, indicating that the situation in Outer Heaven hadn't reached the worst extent.

She slowly stood up, the black robe she wore concealed all her features and aura.

Walking out of the hall, a large crowd stood densely packed at the bottom of the steps, all Divine Concealment and Divine Presence Cultivators from Xuanri Mountain.

"Greetings, Superior!"

The group knelt on one knee, except for one eunuch who was pale-faced and beardless.

The eunuch cleared his throat, his voice sharp: "Xuanri Head Seat, my master invites you…"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yunzhu raised her hand and horizontally slashed, the eunuch's voice abruptly stopped, and his head rolled on the ground like a ball a few times before coming to a halt, still retaining the expression from just moments ago.

As a Hidden Divine Cultivator, this eunuch didn't even react to his own death.

The others watched the scene, their expressions slightly changing.

"Superior, he was the personal companion of the Tongtian Saint Emperor."

Xuanri Mountain's Deputy Mountain Lord Su Zhongchun deliberated on his tone before speaking: "This time, he came on behalf of the Tongtian Saint Emperor to invite you to participate in the expedition against the Lower Realm…"

"No need." Lu Yunzhu spoke indifferently, pointing to the sky: "If Li Chengshi wants to be the Holy Emperor below, it's one thing, but if he also wants to be the Holy Emperor of Outer Heaven, the Source Blood within your bodies won't be retained."

After she finished speaking, Su Zhongchun and others came to an understanding.

Transcendent predecessors from Xuanri Mountain who ascended didn't want Hidden Life Mountain to dominate single-handedly.

Back in the day, although Hidden Life Mountain appeared first with Immortal Emperor Kong protecting the Human Clan, how could Emperor Kong, a lowly half-demon, represent the Human Clan?

Later, Xuanri Mountain was the first to have Transcendent Power ascend, originally thought to establish the orthodox tone of Xuanri Mountain's Human Clan, but unexpectedly, there was no feedback.

Until later, Hidden Life Mountain had Transcendent Strong persons ascending, only then did it become apparent that the predecessors from Xuanri Mountain had long been annihilated…the reason was arrogance.

Therefore, Xuanri Mountain was criticized and suppressed repeatedly.

Because after Hidden Life Mountain's Transcendent Cultivators ascended, they quickly fed back more treasures and Daoist skills from Outer Heaven, allowing Hidden Life Mountain to spawn more Transcendent ascenders.

Everyone naturally believed that Xuanri Mountain's first Transcendent ascender offended Outer Heaven due to arrogance, hence the delay in the Human Clan spawning another Transcendent ascender.

Even after the true situation of Outer Heaven gradually came to light later, nobody thought Xuanri Mountain did right.

In already weak circumstances, where does the arrogance come from?

It's like the Human Clan is surviving in a crevice; without being tactful, how could they rise now?

So that time, Xuanri Mountain lowered their head, thus began to see Ascension Cultivators, and then...

As the discourse power of Outer Heaven Human Clan grew heavier again, another confrontation with Hidden Life Mountain emerged.

With both being from the Upper Realm, why should I listen to you?

Especially since both sides have annihilated several Evergreen families to obtain Source Blood containing Human Clan's Destiny, neither obeys the other.

For many years, the Outer Heaven Human Clan developed while simultaneously confronting each other, the reason targeting the Lower Realm was the same.

The birth of a genius requires vast soil; whoever occupies more territory will have a higher chance of birthing a genius, unfortunately, a Zheng Dongliu emerged in the Lower Realm, restricting them to the Upper Realm.

But also because of this, the connection between the Three Divine Mountains became much closer than before, until now—

The Outer Heavenly Immortal gave a clear answer for the first time: not cooperating with Li Chengshi of Tongtian Immortal Dynasty.

Zheng Dongliu is the foremost person of the era, now Wanado Sect has another future stronger Lu Jin'an, is Hidden Life Mountain going to fight with their head?

Su Zhongchun, however, was quite worried: "Superior, we are currently in a tumultuous period, if we tear our face with Hidden Life Mountain, if Lu Jin'an succeeds in the Sword Inquiry three years later, will we have a way to live?"

Seizing Source Blood and Possession of the Lower Realm…these are matters all Three Divine Mountains participate in, none of them are innocent.

Although after ascending to the peak, you no longer specifically participate in this plan, the blockade of the Body Refining Path in the Lower Realm is a fact.

After all, this has caused countless talents in the Body Refining Path from the Lower Realm to become ordinary…

Cutting off one's future is like murdering one's parents, how could it be easily forgiven?

Lu Yunzhu said unhurriedly: "You few, come with me.

Knowing it's tumultuous now, there's more than one way currently."

Su Zhongchun and others exchanged glances and followed silently.

"Send that head back to Li Chengshi."

······

Tongtian Immortal Dynasty.

Li Chengshi, sitting on the Imperial Throne, looked at the head in the box, expressionless.

This was his friend who accompanied him during his humble beginnings, after he unified Hidden Life Mountain, this friend performed castration in public to remain by his side.

Therefore, his friend was the most trusted person to him, also the final line of defense by his side.

And yet, this personal companion who walked with him all the way, died on Xuanri Mountain.

People cannot be resurrected after death, so although Li Chengshi was sad, he still had suspicions in his heart.
