472: Gu family, retreat

A tremendous pressure surged forth.

In an instant, Gu Tianxing, who had been incomparably arrogant just moments before, felt a deep unease in his heart, his eyes flickering with intense fear.

That's right!

It was fear!

To think that he, the dignified Gu Family Patriarch, one of the top powerhouses in the Immortal Realm, had never imagined that one day he would be so terrified by someone's words that he would feel such trepidation.

But now, he was afraid.

In that fleeting moment, he felt as if he was in a vast ocean, unable to touch anything around him.

He felt as if he smelled the Qi of Death.

"May I ask which Senior has arrived? Gu Tianxing has failed to welcome you properly."

Cold sweat streamed down Gu Tianxing's forehead, and he was even somewhat intimidated, his tone of voice becoming much more amiable, fearing to anger that person.

However, when the other party spoke, Gu Tianxing almost knelt to the ground.

"This Venerable is the Dao Immortal Lord of the Supreme Immortal Court."

Su... Supreme Immortal Court, Dao Immortal Lord!!!

In an instant, Gu Tianxing felt a surge of unease, a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart.

He never expected that the Dao Immortal Lord's strength would be so terrifying, simply unfathomable, even exceeding the limits of what he could imagine.

And this was just a warning from a single sentence spoken by the other party.

If he were to engage in battle with the other party, it was likely that even the entire Gu Family combined would not be his opponent.

Gu Tianxing's heart was immediately filled with despair, and for a moment, he regretted it immensely.

He had originally thought that no matter how strong the Dao Immortal Lord's power was, it would only be on the same level as his own.

But he never expected that the other party would far surpass him.

Thousands of thoughts raced through his mind, and in the end, Gu Tianxing could only lower his head and repeatedly say:

"This collision with the Immortal Lord, I hope the Immortal Lord will be magnanimous."

"I will immediately take the people of the Gu Family and leave, and personally come to apologize in the future!"

Gu Tianxing directly admitted defeat, then he waved his hand, signaling for all the Gu Family members to leave.

The eyes of the Gu Family Elders and Disciples were filled with disbelief.

But due to the Patriarch's authority, they did not dare to refute, and one by one, they boarded their Immortal Boats and scurried away.

This sudden scene instantly stunned everyone present.

The Gu Family came quickly and left just as quickly.

Su Changqing was a little disappointed.

After all, he had still wanted to compete with Gu Tianxing and test his own strength.

But now that the other party had run away, he no longer had that opportunity.

Never mind, never mind, let's talk about it later.

However, the System's mission was completed.

In his mind, System Bro's voice rang out.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission."

"Reward received: Time-Space Imprisonment (Secret Art), Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree (Grandmist Immortal Artifact)"

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

However, he did not claim it for the time being.

Beside him, the Grand Elder walked over, smiled slightly, and said:

"Thank you, Su Gongzi, for your help. The Immortal Lord has asked me to invite you over."

Hearing that the Dao Immortal Lord wanted to see him, Su Changqing also nodded.

"Since that's the case, then please, Grand Elder, lead the way."

"Good!"

The Grand Elder readily agreed.

He instructed the Supreme Immortal Court Disciples to clean up the battlefield, and then led Su Changqing to where the Dao Immortal Lord was located.

On the other side!

A sense of Death Qi hung heavy over the Gu Family's Immortal Boat.

The eyes of the Gu Family Disciples were filled with confusion, and even those Elders were extremely angry.

In this battle with the Supreme Immortal Court, their Gu Family had suffered considerable losses, with dozens of Immortal Venerables lost, and many Disciples below the Immortal Venerable Realm also lost.

But there was no gain whatsoever.

Instead, because of a single sentence from the Dao Immortal Lord, they had directly scurried away like that.

It was difficult to accept.

If this were to spread, the entire Immortal Realm would surely laugh their heads off.

At that time, what face would the people of their Gu Family have in this world?

"Patriarch, that Dao Immortal Lord has not even appeared, and we left just because of a single sentence. This is a bit too damaging to our Gu Family's prestige."

The Gu Family's Second Elder spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"That's right, our Gu Family will probably become the laughingstock of the entire Immortal Realm in the future."

"Alas, this great battle has not only resulted in losses of troops and generals, but also the loss of the Gu Family's face."

.........

Beside them, even Gu Huanmeng found it a bit difficult to accept.

The Gu Family could clearly still fight, and she did not understand why her father had directly ordered a retreat.

She even felt a faint displeasure in her heart.

However, facing everyone's accusations and dissatisfaction, Gu Tianxing's gaze turned cold, and then he scanned around, causing everyone's open mouths to close.

"Hmph!"

He snorted coldly.

"Do you really think this Venerable is soft and easy to bully?"

"A bunch of fools."

"If that Dao Immortal Lord had made a move, our Gu Family would probably have been annihilated today!"

As Gu Tianxing's words fell, everyone present's expressions changed drastically.

Really? Or fake?

Is the Dao Immortal Lord really that terrifying?

Not only is the Patriarch not his opponent, but even the entire Gu Family combined cannot contend against him?

"Patriarch, this... is it true? What kind of strength does that Dao Immortal Lord possess?"

"That's right, could it be that even if thousands of Immortal Venerables from our Gu Family attacked together, they wouldn't be able to take him down?"

"Hiss!! Gu Tianxing"

...

Everyone found it hard to believe.

Gu Tianxing sneered:

"I don't know the Dao Immortal Lord's specific strength, but if he wanted to kill us, it would be very easy."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Damn it!?

This is too terrifying.

If that's the case, then Gu Tianxing's behavior just now is understandable.

After all, the other party's strength is too great.

"What should we do next?"

The Third Elder, Gu Zhan, asked.

Gu Tianxing sighed upon hearing this:

"After returning to the Gu Family, send someone to the Supreme Immortal Court to apologize, and be sure to obtain the Dao Immortal Lord's forgiveness.

As long as the Dao Immortal Lord lives, our Gu Family must never become enemies with the Supreme Immortal Court."

Gu Tianxing was truly afraid.

Just now, the Gu Family could be said to have walked through the gates of hell.

They were almost wiped out.

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Father, what about... Su Changqing!"

Gu Huanmeng said with some indignation.

Su Changqing not only publicly insulted her in front of so many people, but also insulted the entire Gu Family, which showed no regard for the Gu Family at all.

If they were to let it go just like that, she would not be able to swallow it.

"The matter of Su Changqing still needs to be carefully considered; we cannot act rashly."

Gu Tianxing pondered for a moment, then said solemnly.

Firstly, Su Changqing's strength exceeded his imagination.

Even Gu Zhan was not his opponent.

If he hadn't intervened in time, Gu Zhan might have already become a fallen soul under Su Changqing's spear.

Secondly, Su Changqing seemed to have an unusually close relationship with the Supreme Immortal Court.

If they were to rashly make a move against Su Changqing again, it might displease the Supreme Immortal Court.

Therefore, they still needed to plan for the long term and endure for now.

Even though he hated Su Changqing to the bone.

Upon hearing this, Gu Huanmeng felt even more angry, but she could not refute her father's words.

She secretly swore in her heart that she would definitely make Su Changqing pay the price!

Soon, the Gu Family's Immortal Boat flew back to the Gu Family at an extremely fast speed.

And the news of the end of this great battle instantly spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm.
