Chapter 1721: Chapter 873: Gu Sheng Acts Instantly Through His Palm

"His goal is likely to seize control of the Purple Mist Divine Sect. We can’t wait any longer, get your Five Poison Divine Sect people involved, create chaos, and we’ll figure out a way to escape first!"

"Alright!"

Yaoyao didn’t hesitate for a moment.

She realized the gravity of the situation; if the Longevity Ancestor succeeded, it would drastically change the dynamics of the Southern Border, which is definitely not good for the Five Poison Divine Sect. ℯℯ𝑙.

She immediately used the Lifebound Mother Gu within her, closely connected to the Ancestor, to rapidly transmit the news of the anomaly here, especially about the Longevity Ancestor secretly manipulating everyone’s Sea of Consciousness!

...

Outside the valley, in a concealed hollow, Five Poison Ancestor Qidiao Wu stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly calmly waiting for news from the Secret Realm.

He was not tall, his appearance somewhat ordinary, his skin had a unique dark roughness from years of dealing with poisons, but his eyes flashed with inner brilliance, seemingly containing endless poisonous miasma and vitality.

Suddenly, he furrowed his brows sharply, with a horrifying fierce look bursting forth from his eyes!

"That Longevity Old Ghost! Dare to target my granddaughter! Still want to refine her into a puppet?! Courting death!"

His thunderous roar, filled with overwhelming anger and terrifying Venerable might, erupted from outside the hollow, like a sudden lightning bolt, and rushed into the sealed valley with substantial shock waves!

"Boom—!"

This unexpected shout, as if carrying a mysterious Power of Evil Breaking, made many Martial Artists within the valley who were being oppressed by the Longevity Ancestor’s spiritual power and gradually losing consciousness awaken abruptly, as if doused with cold water, becoming much more aware and confusedly looking around.

At the moment chaos began!

Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, realizing the time had come! He suddenly surged his Peak of Sect Realm Seventh Layer’s vast True Qi, his voice like a dragon’s roar and tiger’s scream, clearly spreading through half of the valley.

"Everyone! Be cautious of the Sea of Consciousness! The Longevity Ancestor is not searching for culprits, he’s using the oppression to cover up and secretly manipulating our Sea of Consciousness using Secret Techniques to control us! I am Miss Qidiao’s Protector from the Five Poison Divine Sect, my words are true! Quickly inspect your Sea of Consciousness!"

Before his voice finished, he swiftly moved towards the direction where Yaoyao was.

His words, like pouring cold water into boiling oil, instantly caused massive chaos and panic!

"What? Manipulate the Sea of Consciousness?"

"Quick! Check the Sea of Consciousness!"

"The Ancestor... he actually..."

"The Five Poison Divine Sect’s people said this, could it be true?"

In an instant, emotions of suspicion, anger, and fear spread among the crowd, especially the disciples of the Purple Mist Divine Sect, whose faces turned pale as they tried to inspect their Sea of Consciousness. Although it was difficult for them with their spiritual power to immediately discover the deep-seated Spiritual Imprint, Gu Sheng’s confident tone and the reputation of the Five Poison Divine Sect instilled intense doubts and resistance!

...

Amidst the uproar and chaos within the valley.

The skies above suddenly changed!

The always unperturbed face of the Longevity Ancestor showed a noticeable shift for the first time, a trace of anger from his interrupted plan.

He glanced coldly toward the entrance of the valley.

There, a figure walked in mid-air, with each step seemingly twisting the Void slightly, exuding a heart-palpitatingly poisonous miasma. It was indeed the Five Poison Ancestor, Qidiao Wu!

His appearance was ordinary, skin dark, dressed in simple coarse clothes, looking like a plain old man from the mountains.

But as he stood mid-air, facing the Longevity Ancestor from afar, the aura emanating from him, fierce and domineering, seemingly containing the Source of all poisons, was no less intense than the immortal demeanor of the Longevity Ancestor!

Their conflicting presence divided the entire sky into two halves, one surrounded by pure air, the other with dark poisonous clouds.

"Qidiao Wu!"

The Longevity Ancestor’s voice was icy, filled with anger.

"What does this mean? Why are you interfering with my arrest of the culprit?!"

"Pah!"

Qidiao Wu spat unapologetically, pointing at the Longevity Ancestor’s nose, angrily berating.

"Longevity Old Man, don’t put on an act in front of me! Arresting the culprit? Do you think I’m blind?! Someone wants to use a sinister method to turn my beloved granddaughter into a puppet under his control, if I keep quiet, I don’t deserve to be the Five Poison Ancestor!"

Before his voice faded, dazzling seven-colored radiance burst from his body! That brilliant light, containing lethal toxin and illusory power, like seven colorful poisonous dragons, surged towards the Longevity Ancestor!

At the same time, vast regions of illusory fog appeared, instantly spreading out, not only blocking vision but also causing stinging pain and dizziness when Divine Sense penetrated!

"Child’s play!"

The Longevity Ancestor snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and a vast, invisible wind pressure materialized, like a gale from nine heavens, roaring towards the seven-colored light and illusory fog. Where the wind pressure passed, the fog churned violently and was forcibly dispersed, and the radiance of the seven poisonous dragon-like lights dimmed and slowed down significantly.

"Qidiao Wu!"

The Longevity Ancestor’s voice was freezing cold, carrying a warning.

"There are too many eyes here, if you continue to act recklessly, under a full-force attack, the residual shock of the Laws will leave few low-level Martial Artists in this valley alive—can you bear this responsibility?!"

The Longevity Ancestor’s face turned grim, his eyes flashing cold light, his heart suppressing the anger from Qidiao Wu’s blunt accusations and threats, he spoke coldly.

"Qidiao Wu, stop spouting nonsense! I didn’t know your granddaughter mingled in the Purple Mist Divine Sect’s team, this is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?"

Qidiao Wu scoffed, hands on his hips, his ordinary face now full of rudeness and dominance.

"I don’t care about your misunderstandings! You nearly turned my granddaughter into a puppet, that’s a fact! Want to just let it go? No way!"

He shifted his tone, extending three fingers, brazenly demanding.

"You want me to keep quiet? Fine! Show sincerity! Three million High-grade Spirit Stones, three Heaven Rank top-grade Magical Treasures or materials, plus a chance to enter the ’Longevity Cave Heaven’ that will cause your Longevity Divine Sect pain!

Missing any, today I’ll drag everyone in this mountain, including these elite disciples from your Longevity Divine Sect, to accompany my granddaughter’s burial! I mean what I say!"

This blatant extortion made the Longevity Ancestor’s chest fluctuate, his face turned iron-blue, a surge of uncontrollable anger rushed to his crown!

Three million high-grade spirit stones? Three Heaven Rank top-grade Magical Treasures? And access to the Longevity Cave Heaven? Qidiao Wu is simply mad! Such conditions would empty out a major force’s years of accumulation!

His aura fluctuated violently, causing the surrounding space to distort with intense anger. Normally, if anyone else dared to threaten him like this, he would have crushed them without hesitation! But the man before him was Qidiao Wu, the Ancestor of the Five Poison Divine Sect!

The Five Poison Divine Sect specializes in the Gu Technique and Poison Technique, unpredictable and bizarre; once completely antagonized, should Qidiao Wu explode with reckless abandon, the terrifying miasma and Gu Worms would spell absolute disaster for any martial artist below the Venerable Realm! Currently in the valley, many elite disciples of his Longevity Divine Sect were present, forcing Qidiao Wu to the brink might lead to unimaginable consequences and severely injure his sect!

Acting with care, the Longevity Ancestor stared at Qidiao Wu, weighing the pros and cons, ultimately swallowing his anger.

He could not afford to gamble, nor could he afford to lose!

Qidiao Wu, seeing the Longevity Ancestor’s silence, pressed his advantage, pointing at his nose, continuing to scold.

"Longevity Old Man, don’t put on a face of grievance! You secretly plotted against the Purple Mist Divine Sect, planted Spiritual Imprints, attempting to control others’ sects, such actions violate Southern Border’s ethics, if word spread, what face does your Longevity Divine Sect have to call itself the righteous leader? The conditions I mentioned earlier are hush money!

If you don’t provide them, I’ll explode miasma at your Longevity Divine Sect’s main altar entrance right now; I want to see if you can stop me!"

Their conversation had long been isolated from the surrounding space by their formidable spiritual power and True Qi; below in the valley, the crowd could only see the two Venerables facing off, feel the collision of daunting pressure, but couldn’t hear the specific content.
