"We have been dispatched by the Immortal Dynasty to station ourselves at the Northwest Immortal Estate, solely for the sake of destiny, not to deal with the Chixiao Sect."
Lord Xun, supported by Steward Bai, dared not raise his head or look directly at Gu Qingfeng. Even his voice was low, as if afraid of angering him. Glancing at the Immortal Dynasty Noble Scions not far away, he cautiously replied, "As for whether today's events were Young Master Long's idea... we... we truly do not know..."
"Is that so..." Gu Qingfeng then turned his gaze to Liuguang Qinghong, Liuguang Jiaoying, Xingyao, and over thirty other Immortal Dynasty Noble Scions, asking softly and indifferently, "What about you? Speak up. This matter today must have been planned for more than a day or two, right?"
Faced with the mysterious and bizarre Gu Qingfeng, Liuguang Qinghong and the other Noble Scions were all somewhat apprehensive. No one dared to speak recklessly. Yet, to simply deny it would be a loss of face for them as Noble Scions of the Immortal Dynasty. Just as they were at a loss, the arrogant and domineering Liuguang Jiaoying stepped forward, shouting angrily.
"So what if it was!"
Liuguang Jiaoying stared fixedly at Gu Qingfeng, his tone full of disdain as he declared haughtily, "Let me tell you, if you know what's good for you, kneel before me. Otherwise, this Noble Scion will make you wish you were dead yet unable to die!"
"Very well."
Gu Qingfeng picked up the wine jug to pour a drink, smiling playfully. "I'd like to see how you plan to make me wish I were dead yet unable to die."
"You're looking for death!"
Unable to contain his anger, Liuguang Jiaoying's body erupted with wildly flashing radiance as surging spiritual power burst forth. A vast Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form instantly condensed and hung above his head.
It was known to all that the Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form possessed by Immortal Dynasty Noble Scions held immense power, enveloping the surroundings like the sun's brilliant light. Under its radiant shine, those with weaker cultivation couldn't even stand steadily, let alone resist; they were utterly unable to withstand the intimidation of the Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form.
Many had previously witnessed how Yingnian, one of the Noble Scions, had used his Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form to forcefully suppress a reincarnated expert, whose previous life was a True Immortal, to his knees. And that was merely through intimidation. The true strength of the Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form lay in its vast spiritual power.
To his credit, Liuguang Jiaoying wasn't foolish. He didn't attack directly but stood outside the pavilion, summoning his Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form. Clearly, he was wary of Gu Qingfeng, not daring to engage directly and only testing from a distance. The advantage was that even if he couldn't win, he could retreat instantly.
Whoosh!
When the intimidating power of the Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form erupted, it was as if the sun itself had descended. At the very least, those standing outside the pavilion felt an overwhelming pressure and dared not resist, retreating immediately. Even the banner leaders of the Three Black Banners didn't dare to withstand the formidable intimidation of the Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form, instead summoning Bloodfiend Auras to block it.
However, what shocked everyone was that when Liuguang Jiaoying summoned his Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form and its powerful intimidation enveloped the pavilion, it seemed to have no effect whatsoever on Gu Qingfeng.
Yes.
None at all.
Not even the slightest bit.
That white-robed man, Gu Qingfeng, still sat on the stool, leisurely drinking his wine. His sleeves didn't flutter, his long hair didn't stir, and he didn't even blink, as if he simply didn't regard the intimidation of the Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form.
What was going on?
No one knew.
No one understood.
And Liuguang Jiaoying had no time to ponder this now. Discovering that his Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Form couldn't intimidate Gu Qingfeng, colorful radiances immediately began flashing around his body—one, ten, a hundred... In the blink of an eye, over a hundred and thirty Great Nature Colored Spirits shimmered forth.
Whoosh!
In an instant.
Winds rose and clouds swirled; lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
The Five Elements transformed; Yin and Yang intertwined.
The majestic, imposing might of the Great Nature wildly swept through the pavilion.
Yet.
It was still useless.
Inside the pavilion.
Gu Qingfeng remained seated there, pouring and drinking by himself. Throughout, he didn't even lift his head. He picked up the wine jug and poured himself another cup, saying softly, "With just this bit of skill, you dare dream of making me wish I were dead yet unable to die?"
"You!"
Liuguang Jiaoying's face was filled with terror and rage. He let out an angry shout, deciding to cease testing and prepare to attack with full force. But then, Gu Qingfeng's nonchalant voice came again: "Kneel and wait for me."
As the words fell.
Liuguang Jiaoying had no idea what happened. It was as if the heavens themselves were pressing down—an overwhelming, sky-blotting pressure crushed his mind, causing his Violet Mansion to rupture. With a *wah* sound, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and he thudded to his knees on the ground!
One word!
No grand display, no sonic power!
The prestigious Immortal Dynasty Noble Scion Liuguang Jiaoying didn't even get a chance to strike. Just like that, he was shaken until blood flowed from all seven orifices and forced to kneel on the ground.
Heavens!
Witnessing this scene.
Everyone present was terrified and horrified. Liuguang Qinghong, in particular, waved his hand grandly, shouting furiously, "All Immortal Officials, heed my command! Attack together and annihilate him!"
There were over a thousand Immortal Officials present, each an old-timer who had cultivated for millennia. Their cultivation levels were all at the Dharma Aspect Great Venerable stage, possessing the Immortal Protection bestowed by the Immortal Dynasty. Their cultivation was profound and unfathomable, and their strength was exceptionally formidable.
However.
Faced with the mysterious and bizarre Gu Qingfeng, none dared to act rashly.
Especially after witnessing Liuguang Jiaoying being instantly defeated without even a grunt, they were even more panic-stricken.
But.
Liuguang Qinghong was no ordinary Immortal Dynasty Noble Scion; he was also one of the Grand Stewards appointed by the Immortal Dynasty. As Immortal Officials, they had no choice but to obey the command of a Grand Steward.
At that moment.
Lord Xun shouted, "No one is to act without my command!"
"You old fool! How dare you defy me!"
Liuguang Qinghong was furious!
"Noble Scion Qinghong, this person's strength is unfathomable. Do not act impulsively!"
"Unfathomable? Hmph!" Liuguang Qinghong roared angrily, "I am a Grand Steward appointed by the Immortal Dynasty! Anyone who dares defy me defies the Immortal Dynasty! Those who disobey orders shall be executed without mercy!"
With Liuguang Qinghong's words, the others no longer dared to hesitate.
They were all Immortal Officials of the Immortal Dynasty and naturally understood the consequences of defying its commands. They didn't know what the outcome of surrounding and attacking Gu Qingfeng would be, but they were clear that defying the Immortal Dynasty's orders meant certain death.
Moreover.
In their minds, no matter how mysterious or bizarre Gu Qingfeng was, he likely couldn't withstand the combined Immortal Arts of so many from the Immortal Dynasty.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Even an Earth Immortal, let alone a Heavenly Immortal, would only flee in disarray when simultaneously besieged by over a thousand Dharma Aspect Great Venerables.
Most importantly, the two Imperial-Edict Young Lords and over twenty Earth Immortals would arrive soon. Taking a step back, even if Gu Qingfeng were truly powerful enough to withstand the attacks of so many from the Immortal Dynasty, as long as they waited for the two Imperial-Edict Young Lords to arrive, Gu Qingfeng would undoubtedly die.
Considering this.
The thousand-plus Immortal Officials hesitated no longer. They summoned their Primordial Spirit Dharma Forms and Immortal Protections, brandished flying swords, and unleashed their Immortal Arts and divine abilities.
In an instant.
The sky filled with Immortal Arts.
The sky filled with divine abilities.
Like a violent storm, they wildly assailed that pavilion.
Seizing the opportunity, Liuguang Qinghong, Xingyao, Yingnian, Ruolan, and the other twenty to thirty Immortal Dynasty Noble Scions also summoned their Great-Sun Radiance Dharma Forms and Hundredfold Great Nature Colored Spirits, preparing to take this chance to utterly obliterate Gu Qingfeng!
