202: The rare and smart Emperor Tian

Zhuge Huaizhi spoke appropriately:

"Hand over Gu Liangyuan, and our two families' grievances will be written off."

Lü Qingmei directly refused:

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Guards, see them out!"

As soon as Lü Qingmei uttered these words, Elders immediately entered from outside the door, blocking the few people in front of Lü Qingmei and gesturing towards the door.

Zhuge Huaizhi looked around, laughed loudly, and turned to leave.

Just ten steps from the main gate, he suddenly stopped, not turning his head, but speaking to himself:

"When choosing between two harms, one should pick the lesser. Sect Leader Lu cannot even calculate which consequence is more severe: losing one Gu Liangyuan or losing the entire Supreme Sacred Ground."

"Gu Liangyuan's strength is progressing rapidly. Before long, his strength and prestige within the Supreme Sacred Ground will surely far surpass yours."

"If he wants the position of Sect Leader, will you yield or not?"

After speaking, without waiting for Lü Qingmei to reply, he continued:

"But it doesn't matter anymore. When it's time for the Fu Long Court, my Zhuge Family's elite Disciples will all come out, fully supporting the Taiyi Holy Land, which will also cause the Tai Shang Sect to perish."

"Fellow Daoist Ditian, let's go."

Zhuge Huaizhi said he was leaving, but his steps were extremely slow.

He thought to himself that Lü Qingmei would call out to him when he had at most three steps left.

One step, two steps, three steps, eight steps in a row were taken, but Lü Qingmei behind him showed no movement at all, which made an ominous feeling subtly rise in Zhuge Huaizhi's heart.

Looking at the doorstep within reach, he gritted his teeth and took another step.

There was still no movement behind him.

Just as Zhuge Huaizhi took half a step out of the doorway, a voice finally sounded:

"Wait."

Zhuge Huaizhi was first delighted to hear this voice.

But then he reacted.

That's not right.

Why did that voice sound male?

He turned his head and saw Gu Liangyuan, beaming with a brilliant smile.

Zhuge Huaizhi's mind instantly lost control, and he instinctively retreated.

But behind him was the doorstep, causing Zhuge Huaizhi to nearly trip.

Swish, swish, swish!

Streaks of light landed, and two Peak Mahayana Elders hidden in the shadows, along with dozens of Body Integration cultivators, blocked their retreat.

The figure of Tianyi Old Man also appeared out of thin air, standing above the clouds, providing support for everyone.

Buzz!

Immediately after, the Wuji Peak's mountain-protecting formation suddenly lit up.

Firmly trapping Zhuge Huaizhi and the others within the formation.

The sudden change in events made Ditian and the others' expressions change simultaneously.

Zhuge Huaizhi looked at Gu Liangyuan, then at Lü Qingmei:

"Sect Leader Lu, what is the meaning of this?"

Lü Qingmei did not reply, but instead came to Gu Liangyuan's side and respectfully addressed him as "Cult Master."

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Huaizhi's expression changed for a while, and in the end, it only turned into one sentence:

"Sect Leader Lu has a good heart!"

This sentence came from Zhuge Huaizhi's heart.

He believed that if he were the head of the Zhuge Family, even if he knew that a clansman had unparalleled talent and letting him be the head would elevate the Zhuge Family to a higher level, he would never give up the position of family head.

But admiration aside, Zhuge Huaizhi also knew that his current situation was dangerous.

The reason he dared to venture deep into the Supreme Sacred Ground was because the Taishang Sect Leader was Lü Qingmei.

Based on Lü Qingmei's past behavior, she had always pursued peace.

He had never heard of her actively provoking any force.

Even when the Taiyi Holy Land had provoked the Supreme Sacred Ground many times, she had no intention of falling out.

So, in his opinion, even if the negotiation failed this time, he could still retreat completely unharmed.

But if the one in charge became Gu Liangyuan, then everything would change completely.

Gu Liangyuan, that was a player who would annihilate clans at the drop of a hat!

It seems that the path of alienating Lü Qingmei is not feasible; I must think of another way.

But before that, I must first stabilize Gu Liangyuan's emotions.

I do have a way to escape, but those elites outside the hall would be lost because of it.

With this thought, he immediately spoke:

"Gu Liangyuan, right now you must be very pleased with yourself..."

Gu Liangyuan nodded: "Yes!"

This sudden "Yes!" choked back Zhuge Huaizhi's unfinished words.

He let out a light breath and continued:

"You think becoming the Sect Leader is a good thing? Little do you know, this is exactly falling into Lü Qingmei's trap!"

"Now that the Supreme Sacred Ground has enemies on all sides, she just happens to push out a scapegoat!"

"I advise you not to be impulsive..."

Slap!

Before Zhuge Huaizhi could finish speaking, a crisp slap sounded, and a clear handprint appeared on Zhuge Huaizhi's left cheek.

Gu Liangyuan's words came leisurely:

"Did I give you permission to speak?"

"You want to sow discord, don't you?"

Slap!

Without waiting for Zhuge Huaizhi to reply, Gu Liangyuan slapped Zhuge Huaizhi's face again:

"I'm asking you a question, speak!"

Zhuge Huaizhi hurriedly dodged to the side.

Too much bullying!

If he didn't speak, he'd be hit; if he spoke, he'd still be hit!

He turned to look at the two offerings he had brought, only to see that the two offerings seemed to have not seen this scene at all, keeping their eyes downcast and remaining motionless.

It wasn't because they didn't want to move, it was because they didn't dare!

There was a Tribulation Undergoing mighty one watching from above.

Yes, we did take some benefits from your Zhuge Family.

But these benefits are not worth me risking my life for your Zhuge Family.

Zhuge Huaizhi looked at Tianyi Old Man above his head, and his heart sank again.

Didn't they say that Tianyi Old Man left after playing chess with Gu Liangyuan? Why does it look like Tianyi Old Man has also become a member of the Supreme Sacred Ground?

How did this spy gather information? Such important information wasn't gathered. Could it be that he betrayed us?

What Zhuge Huaizhi didn't know was that Gu Liangyuan, with his investigation Divine Ability, knew all the undercover agents within the Supreme Sacred Ground like the back of his hand.

The information these spies sent back was only the information Gu Liangyuan wanted them to know.

Just at this moment, Ditian, who had been silent, suddenly flashed red light on his body. The next moment, he directly transformed into a ball of fire and shattered.

This made Zhuge Huaizhi and the two Mahayana-level Elders brought by Ditian look bewildered.

What's going on?

Gu Liangyuan, however, had already anticipated this. He took a step forward and slapped Zhuge Huaizhi's face again:

"The Taiyi Holy Land's unique Divine Ability, a true body materialized from the essence of the sun's true fire."

"Do you really think Ditian is a fool?"

Zhuge Huaizhi suddenly remembered that when Ditian went to find the Dao Protector in the Taiyi Holy Land, he seemed subtly different from before.

It was just that he hadn't thought deeply about it at the time.

Now it seems that Ditian had already kept a trump card then!

Good, good, so this is how everyone plays!

Zhuge Huaizhi considered himself unparalleled in strategy, but he didn't expect to be played by Ditian, whom he thought was simple-minded, which made him exceptionally angry.

Feeling the burning pain on his cheek, Zhuge Huaizhi took out a teleportation jade with a backhand:

"Good, good, I admit defeat this time!"

"If you have the guts, break Greed Wolf Pass again!"

He left a threatening remark for Gu Liangyuan and directly crushed the teleportation jade in his hand.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Seven or eight breaths passed, but the imagined teleportation array did not appear.

This instantly covered Zhuge Huaizhi's forehead with cold sweat.

How is this possible!

Slap!

Gu Liangyuan slapped Zhuge Huaizhi's face again:

"Using the same method twice in front of me, do you think I'm a fool?"

Zhuge Huaizhi shook his head, which was a bit dizzy from Gu Liangyuan's slaps. At this moment, he no longer cared about the pain on his face.

He really couldn't understand how this teleportation array could fail?

Above Dan Peak, Master Wan Yan, who had just finished refining a furnace of Forget-Worry Pills, walked out of the secret room.

He turned his head and glanced towards Wuji Peak, then suddenly let out a soft " Huh":

"Why has the Enlightenment Tower become so big and moved to Wuji Peak?"

At this moment, the Enlightenment Tower was tens of thousands of feet tall, covering the entire Wuji Peak under its tower!

The inside of the Enlightenment Tower was isolated from the outside, forming its own world, so Zhuge Huaizhi's teleportation array was naturally ineffective...
