No one ever imagined that merely hearing a name could alter the course of a battle so dramatically, just like how Ye Youluo affected the Ninth Underworld. The two characters, Gu, had unknowingly become a kind of faith for the cultivators of the Dust Realm. As Mu Qinglong gritted his teeth and uttered that name, everyone present, including those unfamiliar with the Dust Realm, suddenly erupted with an overwhelming surge of power.
"I don't deny it." They had retained their strength, and the name Gu brought hope to everyone.
Ying Zhan's previously furrowed brow slowly relaxed. Hong Yulong once again coldly aimed his gun at Hong Yulong, while Xiao Zhang's laughter echoed throughout the square, and Chu Yunfeng wore a faint smile.
Even Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, was unaware of when it began; he felt a sense of security whenever he looked after himself.
In contrast, the Night Emperor involuntarily glanced at Gu and tentatively asked, "Is Ye Youluo dead?"
Ye Youluo was dead—killed by the leg of a demon king who had broken through the seal. Elders from the Universe Hall had entered the secret realm and were currently battling those demon kings and the Demon Emperor, preparing to re-seal them. As long as they held that position, the Ninth Underworld's conspiracy would not succeed.
With his right leg exposed to everyone's gaze, he removed the Peony Mask he had worn for half a year, revealing his true face once more.
Although Ye Youluo's death had been anticipated, when Mu Qinglong and the others learned of it, they still felt a moment of disorientation. Gu didn't deny it either. Mu Qinglong and Sima Wuduan knew that this hard-won opportunity would not slip away easily.
Using Light Escape to teleport instantly, Gu appeared beside the Jade Conch artifact. With one swift strike, he sent the Jade Conch flying from the ground, liberating those trapped under its control and taking advantage of the moment to move it far from the battlefield.
He aimed to restrict Sima Wuduan's approach to the Jade Conch; holding that position was crucial for him.
Initially thinking that Gu would effortlessly eliminate his enemies, he instead found himself pulled back to square one. Bu Luo was no longer under the suppression of the Pseudo-Artifact; for the cultivators of Dust Realm, this still significantly boosted their fighting capacity as the battle began to shift in their favor.
They continued fighting.
Hong Yulong advanced toward Mu Qinglong with his left leg forward and raised his gun. In that moment, Hong Yulong brutally suppressed Mu Qinglong with his weapon, leaving Mu Qinglong struggling to defend himself despite his best efforts. Bu Luo had initially faced I don't deny it. Hong Yulong was a formidable opponent; Ru Ming could barely hold his ground. Even Hong Yulong had to admit that the gap between them was gradually narrowing, showcasing how much progress Mu Qinglong had made over the years.
On the other side, with the arrival of the Night Emperor, Sima Wuduan found himself in a bitter struggle. Despite Bu Luo facing three opponents alone, Sima Wuduan saw nothing to fear. Regardless of whether Bu Luo could win this battle, he only hoped to reach a point ten meters away from the Jade Conch, where the victory of that fight still belonged to the Ninth Underworld.
Rushing towards the Universe Hall, Gu Qiaoqiao maneuvered around the chaotic battlefield involving Shen Shixing and the Old Hall Master, entering the exterior of the Universe Hall. With practiced ease, she stepped into the Peach Blossom Secret Realm and spotted Mi Chong Laozu, who was drinking alone at the mountain peak.
Had the Sky East Tournament ended?
The sound of liquid flowing into her mouth reached Gu Qiaoqiao's ears. Although she was behind Mi Chong Laozu at that moment, he recognized her presence solely by Gu Na's familiar aura.
As for the Sky East Tournament, Gu Hu paused before continuing, "It should be considered over. Ye Youluo has released the Great Demons sealed within Shadow Tower Forest and intends to confine our Ancestors within it. Meanwhile, in Cosmic Plaza, they are trying to stop the Nine Nether Cultivators from erasing spatial markers."
"Then why shouldn't I help?"
Soon enough, Mahayana Practitioners from the Ninth Underworld would also appear in Tiandong City. Therefore, it was clear what his intentions were.
He was a useless person; what could he possibly do?
No one asked how he knew this or what his identity was as he continued to drink bowl after bowl. He was not Mi Chong Laozu, but rather Mi Chong Daoren, who had displayed great power during the later stages of the Battle of Good and Evil. Ru Ming had once entrusted him with a task that even an Integration Stage cultivator struggled with; how much more so for a Mahayana Practitioner? The disparity in strength was too vast.
In the Celestial Being Eastern Realm, if Junior could block their path, then perhaps they could completely eliminate the Nine Nether Cold Qi from Ancestor's body. They would have a chance to turn things around. He believed that those in Cosmic Plaza could help him completely remove the Nine Nether Cold Qi from Ancestor's body.
With her legs drawn up to her chest, she then lifted them high above her head, bending deeply at the waist. Gu Na bowed until her forehead nearly touched the ground, even moving Mi Chong Laozu to emotion.
Then they began.
There was no absolute denial, no unnecessary doubts, and not even excessive questions—only unconditional trust.
