391: The dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon

“Calm down, let's talk this through.”

Seeing Gu Qing's exasperated face, Mo Wantang was secretly amused, thinking, “What a young man, getting so upset over a small matter, and now I have to comfort him.”

A flicker of tenderness passed through Mo Wantang's eyes.

If Gu Qing hadn't revealed it himself, who would have thought that the seemingly smooth-sailing Gu Qing had endured so much hardship in cultivation?

Once she tricked him into coming home, she would definitely dote on him even more.

Thinking this, Mo Wantang pried open Gu Qing's hands and comforted him, “Don't be angry, I believe you absolutely did not cultivate the Tianyu Rongxing Art.”

Gu Qing's anger still hadn't subsided. He grabbed Tian Yiling's collar, “I really didn't cultivate the Tianyu Rongxing Art.”

“This... really?” Tian Yiling was doubtful and a little shaken.

After all, Gu Qing's expression was exactly like someone who had been falsely accused and was exasperated.

There was no panic from being exposed, nor the rage of wanting to kill to silence.

But Tian Yiling still found it hard to believe.

If Gu Qing hadn't cultivated the Tianyu Rongxing Art, how did he achieve his current cultivation?

“You're fucking...”

Gu Qing's mind exploded.

Tian Yiling actually still doubted him.

This old geezer absolutely couldn't be kept; he must die.

“I believe you.” Just as Gu Qing was about to act, Tian Yiling suddenly nodded. Perhaps she had truly overthought things.

Gu Qing's murderous intent paused, and he looked at her coldly.

Tian Yiling frowned in thought. Gu Qing, apart from his cultivation, didn't seem to resemble at all.

Ever since Gu Qing arrived in the Immortal Realm, he had been diligently cultivating. He hadn't extensively married wives and concubines, nor had he spent his days lingering in pleasure.

After subduing their Taiyin Dao Sect, he immediately sent them out to work.

He showed no intention of harvesting them.

At this thought, Tian Yiling looked ashamed: “It seems I misunderstood the Cult Master. The Cult Master's talent is exceptional, truly a Sky Dao's Chosen, not something mere mortals like us can measure.”

Seeing her sincerely repent, Gu Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, he had completely proven his innocence.

After calming down, Gu Qing couldn't help but ask the system, “Do you think there's a possibility that Lin Qiye obtained the Tianyu Rongxing Art?”

Immortal Emperors, though all-knowing and all-powerful.

But the opponents of the three Immortal Emperors were also Immortal Emperors, so it was possible they had contingency plans.

And the protagonist, being the Sky Dao's Chosen, did the impossible.

The cultivation technique he practiced was also an ancient forbidden technique, which could highlight the protagonist's awesomeness.

Otherwise, how could he challenge those above his level?

【Host, your guess is correct. The Tianyu Rongxing Art was originally Mo Wantang's fortuitous encounter, but it was intercepted by Lin Qiye.】

【It was also by using the Tianyu Rongxing Art that he stole Mo Wantang's Innate One Qi.】

Damn... he had been arguing for so long, only to find out he was taking the blame for the protagonist.

At this thought, Gu Qing found Tian Yiling even more displeasing.

“Only now do you know how to admit your mistake? Too late. How dare you slander this old man? I'll deduct a thousand years of your salary.”

“Ah?”

“Alright, alright!” Tian Yiling looked miserable.

She only made a cautious guess, and now she had to work for free for ten thousand years. How would she maintain her life in the future?

That was a full ten thousand years.

“This old man?” Mo Wantang glanced at Gu Qing's handsome profile, feeling speechless.

Never mind, since he was the young man she fancied, she could only pamper him.

“Let's go, send all the disciples of the Purple Micro Dao Sect back to their sect.”

Gu Qing looked annoyed. With a flick of his sleeve, he sent the bothersome things away.

Suddenly, the world became clear.

“Even when he's angry, my young man looks good,” Mo Wantang thought to herself. The more she looked, the more she liked him. She really wanted to abduct him and hide him at home.

“Do you think Immortal King Nine Yang will interfere?” Gu Qing asked.

“Definitely,” Mo Wantang said with certainty.

Their four sects were closely connected. Although they had split, they had always maintained friendly relations.

At the same time, they also wanted to annex each other.

Once the Purple Micro Dao Sect was destroyed, the next would certainly be the Sun Dao Sect. How could Immortal King Nine Yang not understand the principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold'?

“What about the other Immortal Kings?” Gu Qing was not afraid of two people joining forces; he was just afraid that other Immortal Kings would also interfere.

Which would cause his plans to fail.

“Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't appear, they won't meddle. However, if they have already discussed and agreed to conspire for your Dao Fruit, moving forward and retreating together, then they will definitely act.”

Mo Wantang mused.

After a pause, she added, “The Star God Sect might also act.”

“Didn't they move far away from the Immortal Realm?” Gu Qing frowned.

The Star God Sect had split off from the Heavenly Ghost Clan, taking away the four layers of the Starry Sky.

For countless years, they had not been in contact with the Star Dao Sect.

Why would they interfere in their affairs?

“Actually, we Immortal Kings have always maintained contact, discussing the Star Great Dao. On the surface, it's friendly communication, but in reality, everyone covets each other's Starry Sky.”

Mo Wantang said softly.

“Forget it, if they want to come, let them come.”

Others' legs were on their own bodies; if they wanted to come, he couldn't stop them.

Gu Qing's eyes flickered, and he decided to finish the battle quickly.

It was best to destroy the Purple Micro Dao Sect and the Sun Dao Sect before the Immortal Kings could react.

“Indeed!”

The two transcended space and time, concealing their auras, forming their own domain, and looking down from above.

As the Taiyin Dao Sect moved out in full force, including its affiliated powers, the Profound Gods alone numbered over a hundred.

Heavenly God Realm experts were even more numerous, moving in groups, destroying cities and nations. Wherever they went, nations were shattered and rivers extinguished.

By now, everyone was bloodthirsty, controlled by greed.

Even the demon race, hidden in the divine mountains cultivating, couldn't help but come out to plunder.

No one was willing to miss such a good opportunity for plunder.

So regardless of whether the other party had anything to do with the Purple Micro Dao Sect, those who complied prospered, and those who resisted perished.

The battle had completely spiraled out of control.

“How tragic!” Divine light flowed in Gu Qing's eyes, piercing through space and time.

Below, he saw nations being destroyed by a dozen Heavenly God Realm experts, wantonly massacring cities and plundering all resources.

All living beings suffered. Countless cultivators, bringing their families, flew on swords, fleeing in panic.

The cultivators in the sky were densely packed, like raindrops.

And the Profound God battlefield was even more terrifying. Every divine ability strike had the power to destroy the world.

Countless mountains and rivers were destroyed. Continuous divine mountains, millions of feet tall, majestic and grand, were flattened by a single divine ability from a Profound God.

Immortal nations that controlled endless mountains and lands were instantly reduced to ashes.

Profound Gods fought from the ground to the sky, destroying countless star rivers.

Cultivators below the Profound God Realm didn't even have a chance to escape.

It truly illustrated what it meant for immortals to fight and mortals to suffer.

“Human hearts are unpredictable. They are nothing but a group of ants. Don't burden yourself with them,” Mo Wantang said to him seriously.

Actually, she was also an ant at first.

Her parents and relatives also perished due to being caught in the crossfire of two Heavenly God Realm experts battling.

In this life, what she hated most were cultivators who acted recklessly, disregarding the lives of mortals.

After achieving cultivation, she didn't know how many cultivators she had killed who had caused harm to innocents through their conflicts.

She had once yearned for light.

She had established an alliance specifically to protect mortals, prohibiting cultivators from fighting indiscriminately, and promoting peaceful coexistence between immortals and mortals.

However, how ridiculous all of this was.

In the end, she was betrayed by a group of like-minded subordinates.

Betrayed by the myriad nations she protected.

Mo Wantang never expected that the mortals she had fully protected, after becoming immortals, would also view mortals as ants.

They even resented her, turning against the natural order, disrupting yin and yang. They were high and mighty immortals, living long lives, transcending the mundane world, how could they coexist peacefully with mortals?

Their hateful faces and ferocious roars caused her Dao Heart to collapse.

Later, she left, far away from the myriad nations, far away from people, walking the Great Dao alone.

Having witnessed too much slaughter, her heart grew cold.

She gradually became the person she once most detested.

She didn't want to, but she didn't know why she became increasingly cold-blooded and ruthless.
