Human Realm, northeastern border.

At the edge of a stationed dome, Celestial Sword Taoist stood quietly with several experts in the Transcendent realm, while behind them were hundreds of elite soldiers gathered from the army.

They were about to embark on a major mission;

In fact, it was the first face-to-face communication with the people of the Sixteen Kingdoms, with whom they had previously communicated through stone tablet messages.

Celestial Sword Taoist attached great importance to this, and so did the Renhuang Pavilion.

Both sides approached this meeting with caution, and Celestial Sword Taoist did not dare to be careless, bringing along a group of experts.

As the time to depart approached, Celestial Sword Taoist asked in a low voice, "Has there been any news from Lord Wuwang?"

"Sir, Lord Wuwang went to the main hall of the Renhuang Pavilion before."

Someone behind him reported, "I think Lord Wuwang should already be on his way here."

"That's good," Celestial Sword Taoist nodded slowly and explained with a smile, "Lord Wuwang has many ideas and can always see things that you and I cannot. If he is here, we can rest assured."

After speaking, Celestial Sword Taoist raised his hand and made a gesture, taking a step forward and descending from the edge of the dome.

The figures formed a neat queue and surged forward, accompanied by the sound of the wind, falling from the edge of the dome and turning into a narrow dark cloud on the ground, flying rapidly towards the north.

These hundreds of immortals quickly arrived near the border.

They silently landed above the long wall, hiding their breath and concealing their figures, while signaling the immortal soldiers patrolling on the wall to continue their normal patrols.

The top of the long wall was very wide, enough to accommodate four medium-sized shuttles side by side, with hundreds of people, without difficulty.

The northern side of the wall was as straight as a knife, while the back was a steep slope.

Not only were there formations carved on the outside of the wall and many traps set up in front of it, but there were also multiple powerful formations inside the wall, ensuring that this long wall, which stretched across the northern border of the Human Realm, could withstand the impact of large-scale ferocious beasts.

After a brief discussion, Celestial Sword Taoist appeared on top of the long wall, standing with his hands behind his back, looking north, as if he was in a bad mood and just came here to wander around.

Several years had passed since the last wave of ferocious beasts, and beyond the wall was a lush jungle.

The bodies of those ferocious beasts had been burned to ashes by the immortal fire, nourishing the spirits of the grass and trees in this narrow land.

Behind the continuous jungle were the eternal dark clouds of the Central Mountain border, and beneath the dark clouds, there were mountains that were obviously brought by divine power, facing the long wall of the Human Realm.

When would they launch a northern expedition?

Ahem, when would they conquer the Heavenly Palace?

Celestial Sword Taoist contemplated the tone of these two sentences, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Would the Human Realm really launch a northern expedition?

In fact, the Human Realm had already become stable under the pressure of the rules of the Heavenly Palace, and it had its own survival rules.

Under the current circumstances, if the Emperor wanted to launch a northern expedition, he would have to overcome the internal resistance from within the Human Realm.

- This was just a small insight from him, the deputy head of the Renhuang Pavilion.

If they could successfully communicate with the living beings controlled by the Heavenly Palace this time, it would also pave the way for the future northern expedition of the Human Realm and help the Emperor reduce some obstacles.

Rustling sounds came from somewhere, and Celestial Sword Taoist became alert, looking towards the source of the sound.

His divine sense also probed the area.

It was a small pink rabbit, looking around and occasionally bringing a strand of grass to its mouth to chew on.

At first glance, this little rabbit didn't seem unusual, just one of the many small creatures in the jungle, and it was particularly cute.

But Celestial Sword Taoist soon noticed that the rabbit's eyes were too lively.

After a while, the rabbit hopped away.

"Sir," an expert in the Transcendent realm transmitted his voice, "this should be a test from the other side. According to the agreement, you only need to stand here for half an hour and see what they want to do."

"Good."

Celestial Sword Taoist responded with a transmitted voice, straightening his chest a bit more.

He remained calm.

After a while, two small animals appeared at the edge of the jungle, either stopping to eat grass or calmly passing by.

Obviously, the other side was full of unease and seemed to be hesitating.

This was a matter that concerned the life and death of their clans and the survival of their country.

"Why don't they enter the Human Realm from other paths and then find a way to contact the high-level members of the Renhuang Pavilion?"

Just as this thought arose in Celestial Sword Taoist's mind, he caught sight of the patrol immortal soldiers passing by behind him.

Right, it wasn't easy to enter the Human Realm.

Half an hour was not too long for Celestial Sword Taoist. He grasped a realization in his heart and quickly let it go.

The jungle remained quiet, without a trace of human presence.

Celestial Sword Taoist turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the light barrier of the large formation behind him.

Chirp! Chirp chirp!

What's going on now?

Celestial Sword Taoist turned his head to look and saw a two-foot-long black-feathered bird rushing out from the edge of the jungle;

It flapped its wings vigorously and flew straight towards Celestial Sword Taoist.

"This bird! How dare you!"

One of the patrol immortal soldiers immediately shouted, about to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by Celestial Sword Taoist's gesture.

Celestial Sword Taoist extended his hand, allowing the bird's red claws to land on his arm, indicating that the immortal soldiers should continue their patrol. His divine sense enveloped the surroundings, confirming that there was nothing unusual, then turned and walked into the large formation behind him.

If Celestial Sword Taoist was not mistaken, this bird was called a Weng Qu, a spiritual bird unique to the West Wilderness. Its spiritual pill was an essential ingredient in many beauty and skincare pills in the Human Realm.

Of course, that was not the point.

Celestial Sword Taoist entered the large formation and said in a calm voice, "This place is surrounded by formations. Friend, reveal yourself."

The black-feathered bird stretched its neck and turned around twice, obviously not understanding what Celestial Sword Taoist was saying.

And the two feathers on its back kept moving, revealing a head the size of a fingernail, gently exhaling.

Sizzle, sizzle...

What a strange sound? Oh, it was the head speaking. The sound was too faint, and Celestial Sword Taoist couldn't hear it clearly.Following that, two small hands the size of ants grabbed the edge of the feather and jumped onto the flying bird with an almost inaudible "heave-ho".

This was a thumb-sized little person, who looked exactly like a Elemental Infant that had escaped from someone's spiritual platform.

But she was indeed a complete living being, similar to the Human Realm's innate Dao body, with normal body proportions. Her long hair was half tied up behind her, and her "big" eyes were bright and shiny, making her quite cute.

Celestial Sword Taoist pointed his finger, and a strand of immortal light surrounded her, amplifying her voice several times.

The little person shouted, "Are you the leader of the Human Realm? I am the messenger they captured!"

Leader? Captured?

What is going on here?

Celestial Sword Taoist moved a bit further away from the bird, afraid that his voice would cause the little person to bleed from her seven orifices.

He calmly said, "This humble Taoist is a high-ranking executive of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, and now fully responsible for this matter. Do you need to verify my identity, fellow Daoist?"

The little person immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum.

She quickly formed hand seals with her small hands, and a faint blue light shimmered behind her. Two pairs of thin wings appeared out of thin air, resembling dragonflies, and she flew up into the air with a swaying motion.

The little person flew in front of the bird, gesturing with her hands. The bird nodded slowly and flapped its wings as it flew away from Celestial Sword Taoist, landing on top of the female wall.

At this moment, the little person finally noticed that she was surrounded by "middle people," and she was so scared that she hurriedly rushed towards Celestial Sword Taoist's palm.

Celestial Sword Taoist asked, "Are you a citizen of the Little People Country?"

"Yes, yes," she replied, looking frightened. "My name is Xiaodeng, I'm just here to deliver a message!"

"I am Celestial Sword Taoist."

Celestial Sword Taoist held his palm in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Is the Little People Country also one of the sixteen countries seeking peace?"

Xiaodeng immediately shook her head vigorously.

"This matter has nothing to do with us. We in the Little People Country can't do anything. We dare not interfere in the war between you middle people and the big people. A forest is enough for us to explore for generations."

She pounded her head in frustration and muttered to herself, "It's all my bad luck, being captured as a messenger by them. It's just because we are born small, always being captured to do this and that, and some bad guys deliberately capture us to scratch their itches! The Heavenly Palace doesn't care about them at all!"

Celestial Sword Taoist and the people around him exchanged glances, each showing a slight smile.

"What message did you come to deliver? Let's get to the point."

"Ah," Xiaodeng agreed, then cleared her throat and put on an air of importance as she said, "The leader of the Human Realm, in order to express his sincerity, we will appear two hours later. Please allow us to enter your formation and stay on the inner side of your long wall. We will not go deep into the Human Realm, we just hope to have a face-to-face conversation with you."

After a pause, Xiaodeng looked at Celestial Sword Taoist with some unease and explained, "That old bearded goat said so."

"Anything else?"

"If you agree, hang three flags on the long wall in two hours, black, blue, and red, not too conspicuous."

Xiaodeng hummed lightly and flew around in circles with her wings.

"That's all, I shouldn't have said anything wrong... They seem quite afraid."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. Please wait a moment."

Celestial Sword Taoist and the people around him immediately began to discuss in a low voice.

The other side crossing the long wall was equivalent to entrusting their lives to the Human Realm, which was indeed a great show of sincerity.

But Celestial Sword Taoist still had some concerns. "Don't let our guard down just because they voluntarily entered our territory. Be prepared for any attacks from them."

The immortals around nodded in agreement, and everyone began to busy themselves.

They set up a large tent against the wall and laid out a maze-like formation around the tent. Thousands of immortal soldiers were summoned and arranged into a circular formation, which was then concealed by the formation.

The fewer people who knew the truth, the better.

After half an hour of busyness, the Human Realm was fully prepared, only waiting for the envoys from the sixteen countries!

Suddenly, a few snores were heard.

Celestial Sword Taoist turned his head and looked at his shoulder. The little fairy from the Little People Country had already fallen asleep on his shoulder without him noticing.

This?

Celestial Sword Taoist couldn't help but furrow his brows.

He was a pure Yang sword cultivator, how could he be so close to a woman?

But let's forget about the citizens of the Little People Country. They were no longer the same kind of living beings.

While he was busy, Celestial Sword Taoist suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice behind him calling him "sir."

He turned his head and saw a fairy soldier holding the command jade token of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion. The face of this fairy soldier was somewhat unfamiliar, but he didn't think much of it.

"Sir, this is the jade token just delivered by the main pavilion."

"Oh?"

Celestial Sword Taoist took a look and saw the lines written inside were Wu Wang's own handwriting.

"Wu Wang won't arrive for another half a day? Do I have to personally deal with this matter?"

Celestial Sword Taoist waved his hand, indicating the fairy soldier to step back, and held the jade token in thought, not noticing the faint smile that crossed the fairy soldier's lips.

...

The progress of the matter went smoothly overall.

The Human Realm made thorough preparations, even mobilizing hundreds of experts in formations to set up multiple powerful formations on this long wall.

When the two hours were up, black, blue, and red flags appeared on the high wall. Each flag was only the size of a palm, meeting the requirement of "not too conspicuous" as stated by the other side.

At dusk, dozens of figures wearing black cloaks rushed out from the jungle, skimming close to the ground, then rushing along the long wall, accompanied by the evening sunset, quickly crossing over the wall.

Celestial Sword Taoist stood in front of the long tent, with three Transcendent Realm experts behind him.

There were also hundreds of immortal soldiers lined up behind the tent, but they all had their backs to this place.

With the four of them working together, they were not afraid of this group of foreign races launching an attack.

Black shadows descended one after another, bowing to Celestial Sword Taoist in succession, each with their own unique etiquette.Celestial Sword Taoist bowed and said, "Activate the array on the wall."

As soon as he finished speaking, layers of light barriers appeared inside and outside the long wall.

"Please, everyone," Celestial Sword Taoist said in a gentle voice. "I am Celestial Sword, the disciple of the Renhuang Pavilion's master. I have been entrusted to lead this matter and have prepared the Lingguo wine from the Human Realm."

The group of people took off their cloaks, revealing their true appearances.

Their appearances varied, with some resembling humans and others resembling primitive creatures with horns and animal feet, similar to the fox ears and tails of the people of the Qingqiu ancient country.

Among the leaders was a middle-aged woman from the Qingqiu country.

Someone asked, "Can this human immortal decide on these matters? Please forgive us for not meaning to offend, but this matter concerns our respective tribes, and we cannot afford to be careless."

The implication was that they looked down on Celestial Sword Taoist's position.

A person behind Celestial Sword Taoist laughed and said, "Friends, there is no need to overthink. Celestial Sword is the next master of the Renhuang Pavilion."

Another person explained, "The Renhuang Pavilion is directly responsible to the Emperor, with full authority over internal affairs in the Human Realm."

When these dozens of experts from different races looked at Celestial Sword Taoist again, they showed a hint of respect.

"Please."

Celestial Sword gestured and didn't say much.

The arrangement inside the tent was simple, with two long tables and four rows of chairs. They were filled with delicious food, fine wine, and spiritual fruits.

The ground was covered with precious wood, and a few potted plants were placed in the corners, adding a touch of greenery.

The envoys from the sixteen countries were a mix of men and women, but most of them sat at the main table were women, indicating the current power structure in Central Mountain and East Wilderness.

They all had considerable strength, with several of them already at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

The ways they obtained this strength varied, with half of them bestowed by the creatures they believed in, and the other half through their own cultivation methods.

Celestial Sword Taoist exchanged a few pleasantries before getting straight to the point and asking them about the purpose of their visit.

Several people spoke up, expressing their demands and what they could do.

Beside Celestial Sword Taoist, the girl from the small nation was happily licking a grape, her eyes filled with satisfaction, already a little drunk.

After a while, Celestial Sword Taoist made a gesture to quiet everyone down.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Please let one or two of you speak to me. It's too chaotic like this. I already have a general understanding of your intentions."

"That's right," an old man covered in spotted patterns nodded slowly and sighed. "Our country and tribe are not the only ones. There are also the elderly and children. Our roots are in Central Mountain, and we cannot leave."

"Master Celestial Sword," the woman from the Qingqiu country said softly, "We came here this time for two reasons. First, to establish contact with the Human Realm and show our goodwill. Second, to reach an agreement with the Human Realm."

"To be honest, the order to mobilize troops from the Heavenly Palace was already sent to all the tribes half a year ago."

"We need to cultivate a large number of elites for the Heavenly Palace within several decades, almost one-tenth of our people, and they must be the strongest."

"This has happened many times before, and each time we suffered heavy losses, and the Human Realm also suffered as a result."

Celestial Sword Taoist nodded slowly and said, "The sixteen countries are a force that cannot be ignored."

A middle-aged woman with fair skin and goat horns on her head spoke in a calm voice, "We propose reaching a three-stage agreement with the Human Realm."

"In the first stage, during the upcoming war, we will restrain our subordinates and try to cooperate with each other. Then we will expose our weaknesses and be captured by the Human Realm. The Human Realm has ways to control creatures, so you just need to capture them without killing. We will also try to avoid harming the warriors of the Human Realm."

Celestial Sword Taoist smiled and said, "So you mean you want to benefit without doing any work? This is also good for the Human Realm, as it avoids casualties on both sides."

"Yes, sir. This is the best we can do. Please forgive us for being unable to refuse the Heavenly Palace's orders and having to send out our elites."

Celestial Sword asked, "What about the second stage?"

"We will send members of the royal family as hostages to the Human Realm," someone said, "and request the Human Realm to secretly provide us with some food, magical artifacts, and other supplies."

"Food?" Celestial Sword Taoist frowned. "Don't you have enough food?"

There was silence in the tent for a while.

Several people spoke one after another:

"The gods have set rules that only land blessed by the gods can grow food. Most of us rely on hunting and gathering for a living."

"We can also become vassals of those powerful nations blessed by the gods and gain their favor."

"The gods have preferences for certain tribes. Our sixteen tribes... have all angered the Heavenly Palace in the past, and there are many such countries."

The smile on the face of the woman from the Qingqiu country carried a hint of sadness.

"With the protection of the Heavenly Palace, we can stand in the Great Wasteland. But only with the favor of the gods can we have a prosperous life."

Celestial Sword Taoist fell silent and sat there for a long time without saying a word.

Suddenly, a gentle voice with a hint of laughter came from the side:

"What about the third stage?"

Someone answered, "When the time is right, we want to migrate to the southeast..."

The person speaking paused and suddenly looked towards the long table beside them, staring at the old man with a goat beard and goat horns who had asked the question earlier.

The people sitting at the secondary table were the bodyguards, assistants, and advisors of the people at the main table.

When the old man spoke, a man with a similar appearance to him stood up from the main table, frowning as he looked at the old man.

"Alitsha, why did you suddenly speak up? That's very rude!"

"Hahaha... hahaha!"The old man with horns suddenly looked up and laughed, clapping his hands lightly. Several people around him immediately got up and moved to the side.

The old man laughed so hard that he was out of breath, wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeves. He lowered his head and gnawed on a roasted bird wing, his shoulders shaking.

The sentient beings sensed that something was wrong. Half of them covered their faces, and dozens of people stood up and tried to move away from the old man.

Celestial Sword Taoist's eyes flickered with sword light, and the other three Transcendent Realm experts also locked onto the old man with their aura.

Inside the tent, you could hear a pin drop.

The sound of the old man chewing made people's hair stand on end.

Celestial Sword Taoist suddenly pointed his finger, and a flash of sword light passed by. The bird wing at the corner of the old man's mouth was directly cut off, but the old man was unharmed.

"You won't even let me eat? The Human Realm is really stingy."

The old man threw the bone in his hand onto the table in front of him, his mouth twitching slightly. He slowly stood up and muttered to himself:

"Can you be any more childish?

Coming to the Human Realm to negotiate with the Human Realm, during the great battle, both sides spared each other and pretended to be captured.

And now, when the time is right, migrate to the Southeastern Realm and become neighbors with the Human Realm?"

Suddenly, a trace of obscure aura surged out from around the old man, shaking the Dao and radiating divine light. The old man's figure suddenly collapsed, and a phantom slowly solidified.

Wearing a black robe and tied hair, he stood tall with a smile on his face and deep-set eye sockets.

The cultivators of the Human Realm could recognize the Dao of this god, and the group of experts from the ancient countries also recognized this face.

Heavenly Palace, Deputy Deity of Lifespan!

With a thud, more than ten experts from various races fell to the ground, their faces pale and trembling.

Some people immediately put on their cloaks and were about to retreat, but before they could move, they heard the voice of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan:

"Don't be nervous, I'm just a divine thought here to liven things up for you all."

Celestial Sword Taoist already had a long sword in his hand. He was about to move forward but felt a chill all over his body.

Several figures appeared silently behind the divine thought of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan, transforming into a middle-aged man, a sturdy man, a seductive woman in a long dress, and a child with an indigo-colored face.

They each released their aura, and four phantoms appeared behind them.

Evil God Qiong Qi, Evil God Kuiniu, Evil God Zhuyan, and the newly promoted Evil God Gu Diao.

The aura of Hissing Snake also appeared, but it did not directly appear. Instead, it completely sealed off the space in this narrow area.

The five Evil Gods had arrived!

In this instant, Celestial Sword Taoist, who was about to make a move, could only grip his sword tightly.

They couldn't move. If they were to besiege just one Evil God, they would be in great danger, let alone the fact that five Evil Gods had appeared here directly.

What's even more troublesome was that Hissing Snake sealed off the space here. It would take who knows how long for the experts from the Human Realm to notice the anomaly and rush over...

Deputy Deity of Lifespan laughed, "Come, come back and sit, can't we have a good chat?

I never expected that you all would have so many grievances against the Heavenly Palace. We have neglected your feelings.

Come, come back and sit."

The experts were stiff all over, their faces changing again and again.

The woman from the Qingqiu Kingdom turned pale and walked back to her original position with her head down.

The remaining dozens of experts from various races either trembled like chaff or sat down on the ground without daring to move, or even prostrated themselves on the ground in a big salute.

Deputy Deity of Lifespan restrained his smile, "Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

The group of experts from various races quickly crawled back to their respective positions, and a strong man bowed his head and burst into tears, his expression filled with indescribable pain.

Celestial Sword Taoist and the three Transcendent Realm experts exchanged glances and stood together, prepared to fight to the death.

"You are the next Lord of the Renhuang Pavilion."

Deputy Deity of Lifespan looked at Celestial Sword Taoist for a few moments, walking between the two long tables. His fingers brushed across the necks of several women from various races, and they all closed their eyes tightly, not daring to move at all.

Deputy Deity of Lifespan laughed, "Does the Human Realm really think that you can protect them?"

"Then let's fight!"

Celestial Sword Taoist cursed, his face turning pale.

Deputy Deity of Lifespan raised his hand and smiled lightly, "I suddenly changed my mind. I won't kill you today, but I will break your Dao Heart."

"Get lost!"

"Here, I'll give you a condition," Deputy Deity of Lifespan smiled, "I'll bet the lives of half of the beings in this tent. If you win the bet, I'll spare half of them.

If you lose, I'll kill half of them immediately."

After he finished speaking, Qiong Qi and the other four Evil Gods flashed and appeared around the main table.

The experts from various races looked at Celestial Sword Taoist. Some shook their heads slightly, while others had a pleading look in their eyes.

"Alright!"

Celestial Sword Taoist took a deep breath, his eyebrows furrowing as he stared at Deputy Deity of Lifespan's face.

"I am Celestial Sword, willing to learn from you, sir!"

Deputy Deity of Lifespan said, "Then I bet. The little Golden Dragon of the Human Realm, Master Wuwang, is here right now. You will follow his orders."

Celestial Sword Taoist was taken aback, then sneered a few times and threw a jade talisman.

Deputy Deity of Lifespan looked at it for a while, with a hint of regret on his face.

"You win, Human race."

Celestial Sword Taoist immediately said, "Let them go!"

"Alright," Deputy Deity of Lifespan waved his hand slightly, and Qiong Qi and the other four Evil Gods flashed and appeared around the auxiliary table.

Most of the experts from various races on the main table breathed a sigh of relief, but there were still some whose faces were ashen.

Deputy Deity of Lifespan stood in front of the tent door and smiled, "I'll bet again. You all thought that I would show up here."

Celestial Sword Taoist's mouth trembled slightly.

"It seems that I have lost again," Deputy Deity of Lifespan chuckled lightly, "Alright, I have saved everyone here. You four can come back."

Qiong Qi and the other four Evil Gods retreated to Deputy Deity of Lifespan's side.

Celestial Sword Taoist looked puzzled, and the others were also confused and puzzled, not knowing why Deputy Deity of Lifespan had appeared in this way.

Just to scare them?

Or to take action against their respective tribes and nations?

"You can't stay here for long, or you'll easily be intercepted by experts from the Human Realm," Deputy Deity of Lifespan muttered to himself, "I'll give each of you a treasure before I leave."Qiong Qi immediately stepped forward, taking out two treasure mirrors in his hands. These mirrors emitted beams of light that intertwined to form a screen, upon which hundreds of figures appeared.

These were the faces of hundreds of young people from different countries and races in Central Mountain, all staring at this place.

Among these hundreds of young people in the front row, there were sixteen figures. Some had pale faces, some trembled all over, and some couldn't even stand on their own and needed support from the nearby golden-armored soldiers.

Inside the tent, dozens of experts from different races stood up almost simultaneously.

"Young Master..."

"Your Highness!"

"Deputy Deity of Lifespan, please spare our Young Master! It was our decision to come to the Human Realm, it has nothing to do with our clan!"

"Nothing to do with it?"

Deputy Deity of Lifespan pondered for a moment. "Are all of you not related to your respective clans?"

The experts knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing and knocking their heads. They shattered the wooden floor, and tears streamed down their faces uncontrollably.

"We made the decision ourselves! We made the decision ourselves!"

"Please spare our Young Master, spare our clan!"

The woman from the Qingqiu Kingdom suddenly sneered and said indifferently, "Deputy Deity of Lifespan, I am the former vice general of the Qingqiu Kingdom. What can you do?"

In the screen, the young girl from the Qingqiu Kingdom suddenly raised her hand and pointed forward, her voice trembling.

"This... this is the traitor of my Qingqiu Kingdom! A few days ago, he failed to assassinate my mother and escaped to the Human Realm! This is a setup."

Deputy Deity of Lifespan smiled as he watched this scene. He looked at Celestial Sword Taoist and asked, "Are you surprised why the spies you planted in the Heavenly Palace didn't report that hundreds of Young Masters were taken to the Heavenly Palace?"

Celestial Sword Taoist's face turned pale.

Deputy Deity of Lifespan laughed. "Sometimes, letting you know about the movements of the Heavenly Palace is actually telling you not to be too complacent."

The woman from the Qingqiu Kingdom suddenly stood up in the tent and turned her head to look at Celestial Sword Taoist, her eyes filled with helplessness.

She held a short sword in her hand and glanced at the screen formed by the two mirrors. Then, she slowly drew the sword across her neck and fell backward.

Another guard from the Qingqiu Kingdom raised his hand and shattered her meridians.

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the screen, and then a young man suddenly shouted, "This is the traitor who attempted to assassinate my father, the King!"

"Yes, they are traitors from our clan!"

"They are both traitors! Heavenly Palace, please investigate!"

"You two are trying to bring our clan to destruction. How heartless you are!"

The young men spoke, imitated, and cursed incessantly.

Inside the tent, the experts reacted differently. Some laughed and cursed back, some clenched their teeth, drew their weapons, and struck their vital points.

Soon, blood flowed like a stream, eroding the gaps in the wooden floor.

The figures that were originally kneeling slowly fell to the ground, and someone beside them kept sobbing.

The young men in the screen had cold and indifferent expressions, but a hint of reluctance, helplessness, and despair could be seen in their eyes.

The Evil God's mouth curled up with a smile, and Qiong Qi's eyes shone the most.

Qiong Qi laughed. "Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian, why couldn't you protect them?"

Celestial Sword Taoist clenched the hilt of his sword, the blood vessels on his neck almost bursting, but he still maintained a cold and stern expression, staring at them, engraving their appearance in his mind.

Deputy Deity of Lifespan, however, smiled calmly.

"Thank you for cooperating with the Human Realm. The effect of this lesson is quite good... Go back now. If you don't leave, the Human Emperor will appear, and there will be a new leader of the Ren Emperor's Pavilion here."

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the tent, followed by Qiong Qi and the other three Evil Gods, who seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

The two mirrors were not taken away, as if they wanted the Young Masters of the Heavenly Palace forces to see the fate of the 'traitors' clearly.

Dang, dang, dang...

The sword in Celestial Sword Taoist's hand slipped.

He stared at the thirty or so corpses in front of him, looking at their twisted faces before death.

If he had made the decision to ignore the stone tablet, the sixteen envoys, and not...

Heavenly Palace, Heavenly Palace, Heavenly Palace, Heavenly Palace!

What could his sword protect? He was the next leader of the Pavilion, the next leader of the Pavilion...

Master...

There seemed to be a faint flicker of light in front of him. A thumb-sized figure flew over and gently rubbed against Celestial Sword Taoist's cheek.

Boom!

The earth suddenly trembled.

No, it was the universe that trembled!

Boom, boom, boom!

Like the tolling of a bell and the crashing of waves!

Suddenly, flames swept through, turning the tent into ashes.

A strong wind blew, and the light and darkness of the world became uncertain. The walls in front of the four Transcendent Realm experts trembled and flickered with light.

Celestial Sword Taoist raised his head in confusion.

At this moment, the sealed universe lost its restraints. It seemed that the Hissing Snake had put away its divine power.

But in the next instant, a hundred avenues appeared in the heavens and earth!

A hundred and eight streams of light rose from all directions, condensing into chains as wide as rivers, sealing off the heavens and earth for hundreds of miles!

The old woman behind Celestial Sword Taoist exclaimed, "The Heavenly Locking Formation! It's our formation!"

Outside the long wall, the Evil Gods roared in anger, revealing their enormous figures. But streams of light shot out from the north, west, and east!

In the next instant, Celestial Sword Taoist felt a familiar aura behind him. A figure flew past him from low altitude, leaving behind a sentence:

"Stand up! Why are you kneeling!"

Celestial Sword Taoist looked up and saw only the figure of his master, Liu Bairen, leading dozens of shadows over the long wall.

From the south, west, and north!

Shuttles flew through the air, and figures flew out from them, forming a formation.

The night was illuminated by immortal light, and the heavens and earth were in chaos!

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Celestial Sword Taoist looked towards the voice and saw the Immortal Soldier who had handed him the jade token before. The gray aura on his face faded away, revealing a square face.

Wu Wang clasped his fists and said, "The Heavenly Locking Formation takes time to set up. In order to deceive Deputy Deity of Lifespan and the others, we can only resort to this plan.""Brother, don't feel guilty. The calamity originated from the Heavenly Palace. These people were deliberately arranged to be here by the Heavenly Palace, merely to establish their authority. Their fate has long been marked with the word 'tragedy' by the Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

At this moment, with the five Evil Gods involved, the Heavenly Palace will surely send reinforcements, and the Evil Gods will do their best to escape.

If we can kill Qiong Qi, it will be a complete victory!"

The nostrils of the Celestial Sword Taoist were trembling slightly. He had already gripped the blood-stained sword and stood up straight.

His wide robe fluttered, his long hair danced wildly, and his sword aura was filled with anger. He broke through the sky and shocked the heavens with a single sword strike!

Wu Wang saluted the retreating figure of the Celestial Sword Taoist, feeling a bit guilty in his heart.

He didn't distrust the Celestial Sword Taoist's acting skills, he just wanted to ensure that the Deputy Deity of Lifespan wouldn't notice anything amiss, so he eliminated the unstable factors.

Then, Wu Wang looked at the light curtain woven by the two bronze mirrors, at the hundreds of young people who were somewhat at a loss and didn't know what had happened here.

Wu Wang took a step forward and shouted loudly:

"Deputy Deity of Lifespan! Your soul hasn't gone far, has it? Don't you want to show up?"

"Tsk, the Transcendent Heavenly Tribulation couldn't kill me, a mere Elemental Immortal. You wanted to establish your authority but fell into my trap, and your five subordinates were ambushed."

"Qiong Qi is a good servant for you, isn't it? Being able to peek into the hearts of living beings is a rare divine power!"

No response?

Then don't blame him.

Wu Wang looked at the light curtain, standing among the thirty-odd corpses, saluted, and recited loudly:

"The world's wind and clouds come from us, a life is not worth a drunken stupor!

I am Master Wuwang, the master of the Punishment Hall of the Renhuang Pavilion in the Human Realm. Today, I pay my respects to you all!

The wind and clouds of the world, the Great Wasteland is ancient, but now the gods are cruel and unkind, taking pleasure in mocking living beings. The Deputy Deity of Lifespan is a powerful god of the Heavenly Palace, favored by the Heavenly Emperor, yet he does such things!

We in the Human Realm have been rebelling against the heavens for a long time, what can the heavens do to us!

Look at the Great Wasteland of tomorrow, it will surely be the world of living beings!

All races will rule together, the gods will hide, everyone will contribute, and the living beings will be at peace!

Everyone, do the Sky Gods dare to..."

"Enough!"

The soul of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan suddenly appeared, the two bronze mirrors showed spider-web-like cracks, and the light curtain exploded directly.

"Huh."

Wu Wang calmly finished the last word, smiling at the Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan coldly said, "Master Wuwang, you haven't even touched the threshold of the path to immortality, but you've mastered the path to death."

"Your threats are not even slightly original."

Wu Wang took a big step back, and several figures stepped forward from behind him. They were the three Pavilion Masters, and an old woman holding a treasure pagoda.

"Everyone, kill him, and use the Memory Pearl to record the whole process."

The corner of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan's mouth twitched slightly, his divine consciousness had nowhere to go.

And Wu Wang, standing in the back, suddenly thought of something.

The path to immortality?

Eh? The path to immortality!

If he could comprehend the path to immortality, wouldn't he be able to break the path of lifespan, symbolizing that the Deputy Deity of Lifespan could no longer control the lifespan of living beings?

Wu Wang's eyes were shining brightly!
