706: Chapter 707 Chu Yungui's Recruitment

Silence blanketed the entire world.

The kneeling Cultivators forgot to tremble, their eyes widening in disbelief as they watched the five figures still standing, as if witnessing the most absurd scene in the world.

"Bastards!!"

The roar of Immortal Emperor Ziyan shattered the firmament; he had not expected that right under his very nose, these juniors would actually dare to make a move, and actually kill!

Immortal King Zichen, his half-brother and one of the current wielders of imperial power in the Ziji Imperial Dynasty, had been pierced through the heart by a halberd and his Divine Soul extinguished, all under the gaze of his own Emperor.

The Wuji Sword Emperor's face was equally livid, his Sword Qi uncontrollably slicing through the Void Realm, emitting a "chi chi" ripping sound.

The Sword Venerable, whom he valued and who was expected to inherit his Dao of the Sword, had actually been decapitated by a junior who also wielded a sword, and in such a clean and efficient manner!

A deep humiliation! An unprecedented disgrace!

The Auras of the two Immortal Sovereigns went completely berserk, their killing intent like a tangible tsunami, instantly submerging the entire Purple Miasma Mountain!

Between heaven and earth, only their terrifying might, enraged to the extreme and on the verge of eruption, remained!

In the distance, those Cultivators who had luckily survived were completely terrified.

Looking at the two figures in the sky, who resembled world-destroying demon gods, they felt as if their Divine Souls were about to be frozen and torn apart by that pure killing intent.

It was over! Everything was over! When an Immortal Sovereign rages, a million corpses fall, and stars crumble!

These lunatics didn't run after killing someone; did they really intend to drag everyone down to the grave with them?!

In the eyes of Immortal Emperor Ziyan, there was no longer any thought of capturing them alive for interrogation, only the purest desire for destruction!

"You all must die! Everything related to you must be completely annihilated!"

Immortal Emperor Ziyan and the Wuji Sword Emperor exchanged a glance, both seeing the same resolution in each other's eyes.

Without need for words, their Auras surged again, and even more terrifying and precise killing moves were already brewing.

This time, they would not hold back in the slightest!

However, at this very moment.

"Brilliant! Truly absolutely brilliant! Wonderful! Simply wonderful!"

A clear, gentle voice, carrying unconcealed exclamation and excitement, suddenly rang out inopportunely, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Immediately after, two figures stepped leisurely out of the ripples.

The leader was none other than Chu Yungui, wearing moon-white robes embroidered with stars, his temperament otherworldly.

His face no longer held any of the previous laziness or playfulness, replaced instead by a burning light, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

His gaze was like a torch, locked tightly onto the five people below—Xiao Ruobai and the others—scanning back and forth especially over Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu, who had just completed the kill, as if he wanted to see right through them.

"With the body of an Immortal Lord, to defy the Peak of an Immortal King, and to complete a kill right under the gaze of two Immortal Sovereigns... Such a combat record, looking across the entire Immortal Domain, can be matched by only a handful!"

"The more critical point is—"

Chu Yungui's eyes swept rapidly over the five of them, capturing and analyzing every trace of Dao Rhyme and Cultivation Technique residue around them.

"The core true disciples of the major top forces, ancient Daoist traditions, and hidden Sects in the Immortal Domain, or the Prodigies secretly cultivated... Even if I haven't seen them all, I would surely have heard of them. But these five, regardless of their Cultivation Technique paths or temperamental characteristics, do not match any of them!"

"They lack the artisanal air peculiar to the disciples of those great Sects, who are carefully sculpted, and they bear no unique imprint of an ancient Bloodline Legacy..."

"Could it be that they are truly Geniuses who obtained the Opportunity from some ancient Secret Realm or a long-extinct Legacy, and grew to this point on their own?"

Once this thought arose, it spread like wildfire in Chu Yungui's heart!

If they were the secret weapons of those top forces, he might have been three parts wary, considering the consequences of taking them by force.

But if they were "wild"... then this was a heaven-sent Opportunity! They were unowned uncut jade!

If he could subdue them, with the resources and methods of his Taixuan Immortal Palace, a little polishing would surely make them his most capable assistants!

The tacit understanding, ruthlessness, and the potential of that strange Domain displayed by these five would, in time, surely become important bargaining chips for him to compete with other Saints within the Immortal Palace!

Furthermore, the peculiar Domain itself contained mysteries that even he had not fully understood; its value was immeasurable!

He looked at the five figures below, who were tottering but still held their spines straight, as if looking at five peerless divine weapons about to be in his possession, fitting perfectly.

Behind him, the grey-robed Elder Kurong kept his eyes lowered, as if indifferent to everything around him.

But if anyone could look straight into the depths of his Chaos eyes, they would discover that what was reflected there was not the figures of Xiao Ruobai and the others.

Instead, it was the phantom shadow of the Cant Beat Me Domain around them, which was about to completely dissipate yet still retained a trace of strange resonant fluctuation.

The structure of that Domain, the method of Law Fusion, and the near-instinctual Soul resonance between the five...

All of this caused the calm, ancient-well-like state of mind of this Peak Immortal Sovereign, who had seen all the Laws of the heavens, to move almost imperceptibly.

The burning light in Chu Yungui's eyes was almost about to turn into reality.

He gently clapped his hands, a brilliant smile blooming on his face, his voice slightly raised due to excitement:

"Good! What a good use of oneself as bait, what a good desperate counter-kill!"

He said the word "Good" three times, his gaze patrolling the five, the appreciation and the sense of certainty in his eyes unconcealed.

"Even ants cling to life. You six possess talent, Heart-Nature, and Opportunity, all of the highest selection, and what is even more rare is this bond and tacit understanding of sharing life and death. Falling here, like pearls covered in dust, is truly a great pity in this world."

Chu Yungui took a step forward, his gaze burning as he looked directly at everyone:

"I, Chu Yungui, the current Saint of the Taixuan Immortal Palace, will break precedent today and grant you a path to survival, which is also a path to the heavens that leads straight to the blue clouds!"

His voice was clear, carrying the elegance of a natural aristocrat and an unquestionable authority, resounding through the world boiling with killing intent:

"Offer up your Divine Soul imprints, from now on serve me as your master, and be my Dao servants."

"I, as Saint, can plead your case to His Majesty Ziyan and Fellow Daoist Sword Emperor, turning hostility into friendship, and spare your lives."

"And I will personally bring you back to the Taixuan Immortal Palace, using supreme resources to cleanse your Foundation. With the power of the Taixuan Immortal Palace, you will surely be reborn, and in the future, follow me to overlook these heavens and myriad worlds, achieving supreme Dao results!"

"This is your only Opportunity in this life to change your destiny, break free from the dead end before you, and step into the truly top-tier circle..."

Having said this, he stood with his hands behind his back, his moon-white robes fluttering slightly in the aftermath of destruction, a calm smile of controlling everything on his face, quietly waiting for a response.

It was as if what he offered was not a contract of enslavement, but the supreme Opportunity that the world dreamed of.

As for Immortal Emperor Ziyan and the Wuji Sword Emperor, the moment Chu Yungui spoke, their brewing terrifying killing moves involuntarily stalled.

Their faces were so gloomy they were almost dripping water, anger and wariness intertwined in their eyes.

Chu Yungui's appearance, and his posture of seemingly soliciting but actually refusing to be denied, made them hesitate for fear of collateral damage.

To kill these few ants, was it worth offending the Saint of the Taixuan Immortal Palace? Moreover, the invisible pressure brought by that glance from Elder Kurong earlier still left them with lingering fears.

But how could the blood feud of Zichen and the face of the Imperial Dynasty be easily set aside?

The situation, due to Chu Yungui's intervention, instantly became subtle and complex; killing intent, greed, wariness, and the intent to solicit intertwined into an invisible web.

All eyes were locked tightly on the five figures struggling in pools of blood, who were about to decide their own fates.

Would they kneel as slaves to trade for a glimmer of life and a seemingly glorious future?

Or would they rather die than submit, immediately turning into dust under the rage of the Immortal Sovereign and the displeasure of the Saint?

Xiao Ruobai slowly raised his head, his blood-stained face devoid of any expression, only those eyes remained startlingly bright.

He looked at Chu Yungui, who was high above as if bestowing charity, then looked at the two Immortal Sovereigns, whose killing intent was monstrous and who were eyeing them like tigers. Finally, his gaze swept over his companions, who were also bathed in blood and on their last breaths, yet whose eyes were as firm as iron.

He suddenly grinned and laughed.

"Many thanks for Saint Chu's good intentions, but, those with different Daos cannot work together!"
