148: Mysterious Temple

Soon, through the relentless searching of Karma Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable, they successively found several more Ghost Illusion Beings at the Immortal King Realm.

Without exception, upon learning that Karma Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable wanted them to lead the way to see the Lord of the Gui Huan, they chose to self-destruct without a word.

Watching this scene, Karma Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable's faces were filled with dark lines of frustration.

“Are they really that decisive? They just self-destructed immediately.”

Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable was extremely puzzled. In her view, this wasn't an act of betrayal; furthermore, they weren't here to start a war with the Lord of the Gui Huan.

Karma Immortal Venerable, however, quickly realized the reason behind it.

“Do you think it's because we didn't directly mention the existence of Gu Jixiao?”

“If that's the case, then the next time we see a Ghost Illusion Being of the Immortal King Realm, we should mention Gu Jixiao's existence first.”

“Only by making them feel that we share a common enemy with the Lord of the Gui Huan might they agree to lead us to him.”

Hearing Karma Immortal Venerable say this, Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable also realized the point and was suddenly struck with annoyance at her own oversight.

Soon, they found another Ghost Illusion Being at the Immortal King Realm.

As Karma Immortal Venerable had predicted, after learning that they were seeking the Lord of the Gui Huan because of a common enemy, the Ghost Illusion Being showed a look of hesitation.

Seeing the other party's hesitant expression, Karma Immortal Venerable gritted his teeth and spoke.

“If you still refuse to believe us, I can swear a Great Dao Oath. If I deceive you, may my entire cultivation be lost!”

In order to kill Gu Jixiao and avenge Destruction Immortal Venerable, Karma Immortal Venerable did not even hesitate to swear by the Great Dao.

All things in heaven and earth originate from the Dao and are produced by the Dao.

Even those as powerful as a Peak Immortal Venerable cannot transcend the Dao.

If they swear a Great Dao Oath and violate it, they will undoubtedly die.

Seeing that Karma Immortal Venerable was willing to go to such lengths, the Ghost Illusion Being believed him in his heart.

But belief was one thing; the Great Dao Oath still needed to be sworn.

After all, who knew if Karma Immortal Venerable was deceiving him?

Soon, Karma Immortal Venerable swore the Great Dao Oath. Since it was the truth anyway, he naturally had nothing to fear.

After Karma Immortal Venerable swore the oath, the Ghost Illusion Being before them closed his eyes and began to contact the Lord of the Gui Huan.

As members of the Gui Huan Clan, no matter where they were, they could contact the Lord of the Gui Huan if they wished.

Of course, to prevent any Ghost Illusion Being from disturbing him, the Lord of the Gui Huan had once ordered that anyone contacting him for unimportant matters would be executed without mercy.

Now, it was clearly an important matter.

Almost at the same time.

Deep within the Land of Chaos and Nothingness, a pitch-black palace was hidden in the depths, floating in the air.

Inside the palace, a figure completely shrouded in void Chaos sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, eyes tightly closed, as an incredibly thick Qi circulated around his body.

The moment that Immortal King Ghost Illusion Being contacted him, the Lord of the Gui Huan couldn't help but open his eyes.

He quickly learned everything from the other party's mouth, and a hint of playfulness appeared on his face.

“Karma and Yin Yang, those two fellows, have encountered an enemy they can't handle and have specifically come to me for an alliance?”

To know oneself and one's enemy is to win a hundred battles.

When he found the Saint Realm and decided to invade it, he had already thoroughly investigated these three Saint Venerables.

Therefore, he was naturally extremely familiar with them.

He naturally knew how powerful their strength was.

But now, an enemy had emerged that even the three of them couldn't handle. To what extent had that person's strength reached? Even he himself couldn't achieve such a feat.

Regarding what Karma Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable said—that this person's intentions lay with the entire Saint Realm and even the Land of Chaos and Nothingness—the Lord of the Gui Huan couldn't help but start caring about this matter.

After some deliberation, the Lord of the Gui Huan quickly made a decision.

“Bring them to see me.”

Having said that, the Lord of the Gui Huan closed his eyes and began to Cultivate once more.

His Qi, however, had become even more powerful compared to the last time he invaded the Saint Realm.

On the other side.

Having received the permission of the Lord of the Gui Huan, the Immortal King Realm Ghost Illusion Being then looked toward Karma Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable.

“Let's go. My Master has agreed to see you.”

It could be said that the current Gui Huan Clan was created by the Lord of the Gui Huan, which was why they addressed him as Master.

Seeing the other party lead the way, the two Saint Venerables hurriedly followed.

Traversing through the Chaos Void, more than three days quickly passed.

“We've arrived.”

As the Immortal King Ghost Illusion Being stopped, Karma Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable looked straight ahead.

They saw an incredibly massive and grand palace standing directly in front of them; their figures were as small as dust before this palace.

The most eerie part was that as they stood before this palace and extended their Divine Sense to probe its mysteries, they couldn't detect anything at all.

In fact, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have even discovered the palace's existence.

When they arrived at the palace, they saw its gates slowly open, and a voice transmitted into their minds.

“Come in.”

Having fought the Lord of the Gui Huan before, they recognized that this was indeed his voice.

“Should we go in?”

Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable frowned. Their current strength was not at its Peak. If they went in and the Lord of the Gui Huan had set a trap, they would likely face certain death.

Karma Immortal Venerable had long since prepared himself, and his tone was solemn.

“Let's go in. Be cautious. If something is wrong, we'll fight him to the death. I'll self-destruct immediately while you escape.”

Since he was the one who proposed seeking an alliance with the Lord of the Gui Huan, he naturally had to bear all the consequences.

If the Lord of the Gui Huan also intended to kill them, he would use his own life to secure a path of survival for Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable.

Of the three of them, one must survive.

Hearing this, Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable could only nod, and the two of them entered the palace.

The moment they entered, the palace gates closed, and the palace itself vanished as if it had never appeared.

Upon entering the palace, Karma Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable's expressions became even more grim.

They could sense an invisible force suppressing them, even more severely than the Land of Chaos and Nothingness did.

Currently, they could only exert seventy percent of their strength at most.

But now they had no choice; they had to see the Lord of the Gui Huan first, then do their best to ally with him to eliminate Gu Jixiao and avenge Destruction Immortal Venerable.
