172: The powerful Dao Ghost Celestial Venerable

Although Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable was the weakest among the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors, he was also the most overbearing one.

Therefore, after hearing Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's words, the faces of the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, including Ancient Heavenly Venerable, did not show much surprise.

However, Ancient Heavenly Venerable still frowned and said.

"Dao Ghost, you haven't met that Fellow Daoist. He has more than ten immortal emperor artifacts in his hands, and it's possible that this isn't even his limit."

"Under such circumstances, it is not advisable for us to make an enemy of him."

"Furthermore, you already understand the current situation. We need manpower to charge into the Abyss Cave with us."

"And that Fellow Daoist is the perfect candidate."

"That won't do either. In short, my Ghost Realm will never allow his so-called Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty to enter!"

But to Ancient Heavenly Venerable's surprise, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable refused with an extremely firm attitude.

Seeing this, Ancient Heavenly Venerable could only sigh, his tone becoming slightly more compromising.

"In any case, the three of us have already agreed. If you don't agree, we won't force you."

"But if that Fellow Daoist decides to take action against your Ghost Realm, then my Immortal Realm will certainly not lend a hand."

To the side, Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable and the Demon Venerable both frowned imperceptibly upon hearing this.

After all, the Four Realms themselves were an Alliance, and Ancient Heavenly Venerable's words had clearly touched upon a point they could not accept.

But they could also see that Ancient Heavenly Venerable was acting for Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's own good.

After all, that Gu Jixiao appeared to be extremely difficult to provoke. If they went to war with him, they might suffer a setback.

Therefore, they also decided at this moment to act for Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's sake, and spoke up together.

"That's right. If your Ghost Realm insists on not agreeing, then my Monster Realm will also stand by and watch when the time comes."

"Dao Ghost, you should just agree. The number of immortal emperor artifacts the other party possesses has reached double digits, and he might even have more trump cards. So the most important thing right now is to calm down first."

"Agree to the other party's demands first, see what his purpose is, and then decide on the next move."

Seeing that both Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable and the Demon Venerable had spoken this way, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's expression became even more unsightly. Clearly, without having witnessed Gu Jixiao's power himself, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's heart had always doubted their words.

But even though the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, including Ancient Heavenly Venerable, had spoken to such an extent, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's heart still did not retreat in the slightest.

"In short, other matters can be discussed, but this one is non-negotiable."

"Alright everyone, I'm heading back to my Ghost Realm. Just contact me when it's time to head to the Abyss Cave."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable's figure flickered, and he vanished from before them, already rushing back toward the location of the Ghost Realm.

The Chaos space was vast. Had they not left True Spirit Marks in their respective worlds, it would have taken a very long time to find their way back.

As Dao Ghost Heavenly Venerable departed, the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, including Ancient Heavenly Venerable, couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, I wonder if Dao Ghost's refusal is a good or a bad thing?"

Myriad Demon Heavenly Venerable frowned and spoke.

But Ancient Heavenly Venerable waved his hand. "It's no matter. Dao Ghost's refusal isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a good opportunity to take the chance and investigate exactly what that Fellow Daoist's background is."

"If what he displayed back then was his entire foundation, then we shall act together, seize all of his immortal emperor artifacts, and divide them among ourselves."
