186: Killing Shen Lian, the number of people is meaningless.

"Everyone, you have seen Shen Lian's vicious nature. Tianji Pavilion did not wish to interfere in the affairs of the Mortal World, but to prevent the loss of the Divine Artifact in the future, this old man is forced to step into the world."

"After contacting the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao has tacitly approved of my actions. For the survival of the Primordial Continent, we must eliminate this child before he grows up to prevent future trouble."

As soon as Old Man Tianji finished speaking, Wen Guhong immediately spoke up: "Even if Old Man Tianji did not speak, based solely on the crime of Shen Lian killing my beloved disciple, I would not let this matter rest."

"What a Revered Master who truly cares for his disciple."

Upon hearing this, Anger of Iron Heart spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"If your disciple knew in the afterlife that his Revered Master cared so much about his life and death, he would surely be able to rest in peace."

Wen Guhong sneered and did not reply.

Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, Anger of Iron Heart felt bored, so he simply huffed and turned his head away.

At this moment, Ren Guyun, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "Junior has a question. Judging from the strength Shen Lian displayed in the footage, his cultivation is only at the Peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm. Although his talent in cultivation is definitely that of a Heavens Chosen Prodigy at this age, given the environment of our Primordial Continent, dispatching a Cultivator of the Immortal Realm should be enough to suppress and kill him. Why must we make such a big fuss?"

Old Man Tianji replied: "If I could tell you that just a few months ago, Shen Lian was only at the first stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, would you, Junior Ren, still think this is making a big fuss?"

"What did you say? First stage of the Qi Gathering Realm?"

Hearing this news, everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

Ren Guyun said: "That is to say, Shen Lian reached the Peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm in just a few short months."

Old Man Tianji nodded: "A month has passed since then, and no one knows to what level his cultivation has risen. It is a pity that such a talent has degenerated. If he could become a member of our Xuanmen, would I have resorted to such a desperate measure?"

Ren Guyun fell silent again.

After a moment, he said: "In that case, once we start targeting Shen Lian, we must use our full strength to force him into a desperate situation. If we give him even a sliver of room to maneuver, no one can predict the outcome of the battle."

Old Man Tianji looked at Ren Guyun with admiration: "Junior Ren's words align with my thoughts. I wonder what insights you have, Junior Ren?"

Ren Guyun said: "Judging from the battle at Tianji Mountain, at least one thing can be verified: to kill Shen Lian, this meaningless advantage in numbers is completely useless. Instead, it will give him more time to catch his breath."

"To eliminate Shen Lian, we must take Advanced Cultivators as the core and deal him a fatal blow. If one strike cannot kill him, to prevent him from escaping, we must lay down a net of heaven and earth around him and never allow him any chance of survival."

Wen Guhong suddenly said: "If I encounter him, one blade will be enough."

Ren Guyun said: "Senior Wen's Cross Heavenly Gang Blade is famous throughout the world. I believe you have an eleven-point chance of winning against Shen Lian. But there are no absolutes. If Shen Lian manages to escape, attempting a second ambush would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. We must have a foolproof plan."

Wen Guhong remained silent.

Anger of Iron Heart asked: "How do we make it foolproof?"

Ren Guyun said: "We can use both techniques and Formation to apply dual pressure, compressing Shen Lian's room for action, and then we can conduct an ultimate pursuit, leaving him no retreat."

Anger of Iron Heart asked: "Is Lord Yunwu's disciple really this insidious?"

Ren Guyun laughed: "Senior is overthinking it. To deal with a vicious and treacherous person, one must be more vicious and treacherous than him. Since so many people, including Alliance Leader Song, have been defeated by his hands, we absolutely cannot treat him as a standard Peak Primordial Chaos Realm Cultivator. It is best to treat Shen Lian as a Cultivator of our own level, so we will not let our guard down."

Old Man Tianji said: "Junior Ren's words are entirely reasonable. Everyone, Tianji Pavilion needs your help. Please assist the Heavenly Dao and use every means to eradicate him."

After speaking, he produced half a volume of the Tianji Martial Canon.

"As a reward, this half of the Tianji Martial Canon will be a token of Tianji Pavilion's sincerity. Whoever can kill Shen Lian, this half of the Tianji Martial Canon will be available for them to read."

Upon hearing this, the three of them each had their own hidden agenda.

Every Cultivation Technique recorded in the Tianji Martial Canon is a world-shaking supreme skill. Even practicing just a little bit of it could allow an insignificant person to rank among the top of the Primordial Continent, naturally attracting the attention of countless people.

Ren Guyun stood up and bowed to Old Man Tianji, then bowed to Wen Guhong and Anger of Iron Heart.

"Junior's cultivation is shallow. Even if I obtain the Tianji Martial Canon, I fear I cannot comprehend its Profound Truth. However, to prevent a future catastrophe on the Primordial Continent, Junior is still willing to contribute to the Righteous Path of Xuanmen, living up to our determination as Cultivators to eliminate demons and defend the Dao."

Seeing Ren Guyun's righteous and unpretentious appearance, Old Man Tianji and the others present couldn't help but think more highly of this "young man."

Wen Guhong stood up and said: "Junior Ren, there is no need to be humble. The Righteous Path of Xuanmen needs successors like you to flourish. Do not worry, if we obtain the Tianji Martial Canon, we will certainly not let you suffer a loss."

"Many thanks, Senior Wen. This Junior is extremely grateful."

Afterward, Ren Guyun said to Old Man Tianji: "Senior, to ensure the killing of Shen Lian is foolproof, this Junior would like to request one item from Tianji Pavilion."

Old Man Tianji asked: "What does Junior Ren seek?"

Ren Guyun said: "The Seven Star Pagoda Array."

Old Man Tianji frowned slightly: "The Seven Star Pagoda Array? Junior, you want to use this Formation to deal with Shen Lian?"

"That is correct." Ren Guyun answered decisively.

Old Man Tianji shook his head: "Activating the Seven Star Pagoda Array requires deep True Essence. It requires at least a Limit-Breaking Realm cultivation to activate. If Junior Ren forces the activation of the Seven Star Pagoda Array, I fear it will cause a backlash from the Formation."

Anger of Iron Heart also said: "Exactly. Besides, for a small fry like Shen Lian, I don't believe I can't hack him to death. As long as I meet him, I can just send him away with one blade. Why bother laying down any Formation?"

Ren Guyun said: "Senior, I am only doing this to ensure it is foolproof. Judging from the projection stone earlier, Shen Lian's movement technique is also rare in this world. Even if he is at a disadvantage, it is not difficult for him to escape. Junior is merely trying to provide an extra guarantee for the success of killing a strong enemy."

Wen Guhong said: "Junior Ren is extremely cautious, truly different from the arrogance of the young. But please forgive me, Junior Ren. Dealing with a Shen Lian does not require such a grand Formation. Let this seat go and investigate first. If he cannot be easily taken, it won't be too late to adopt your suggestion."

Old Man Tianji nodded: "Fellow Daoist Wen is right. Given Shen Lian's current situation, activating the Seven Star Pagoda Array is too extreme. Let's use conventional means for now. If that is unsuccessful, it will not be too late to deploy the Formation."

"Sigh, very well. Junior will comply with your wishes."

Seeing his suggestion was not adopted, Ren Guyun was not discouraged at all, just a bit regretful.

"There is no time to lose. Let us go and find traces of Shen Lian now. Farewell."

Anger of Iron Heart was extremely impatient. After bidding farewell to Old Man Tianji, he left Tianji Pavilion directly.

Wen Guhong also bowed slightly to Old Man Tianji, then turned and left as a streak of light.

Finally, only Ren Guyun remained. He bowed respectfully to Old Man Tianji, smiled faintly, and left Tianji Pavilion.

"Now, does Shen Lian still have a chance of survival?"

With two Limit-Breaking Realm experts entering the game, Old Man Tianji felt slightly at ease.

"To be safe, continue to contact others."
