Celestial Emperor of Devouring
Chapter 779 - 769: A Formidable Enemy Approaches
"Help this Young Master deal with Gu Chenfeng?"
Jing Tianyan let out a cold snort, his eyes filled with wariness, and asked coldly, "You and I have never met, why would you want to help me?"
Jing Tianyan was no fool and certainly didn't believe in pie falling from the sky.
The black-robed person in front of him had an unknown origin and unfathomable strength, so Jing Tianyan naturally wouldn't easily trust him, instead suspecting there was another conspiracy at play.
The black-robed man's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he smiled slightly, "Chaos Young Master, Gu Chenfeng is our common enemy. The Chaos Young Master wants to kill him, and I want to kill him too. His existence threatens our very survival."
"I know the Chaos Young Master harbors a deep-seated grudge against him. If we join forces, we can surely eradicate him completely."
An Elder standing nearby frowned and whispered, "Young Master, you cannot trust him. His strength probably surpasses even the Hall Master. Be extremely cautious."
Jing Tianyan frowned, contemplated for a moment, then asked gravely, "Then tell me, how do we join forces?"
The black-robed man stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said, "I have already reached a cooperation agreement with the Taiqing Hall, just as this Elder said, to attack the Taiyi Divine Hall and lure Gu Chenfeng out of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion."
"By then, our three forces will strike together, exhaust his strength with all our might, and once his power is depleted, he will be unable to escape."
Jing Tianyan's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said coldly, "Hmph, sounds good, but why should I believe you?"
The black-robed man smiled slightly, "Chaos Young Master, do you have a better option at this moment? Going it alone, I'm afraid no one can match Gu Chenfeng. Even if the Chaos Young Master gathers forces from multiple factions, it may still not be enough against Gu Chenfeng."
"Only by joining forces do we have a chance of victory. Since the Chaos Young Master is bound to make a move, you might as well consider cooperating with me."
Jing Tianyan gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with viciousness, and said coldly, "Fine, I'll trust you this once, but if you dare to pull any tricks, no matter who you are, the Chaos Immortal Hall will not spare you."
The black-robed man smiled faintly, "Rest assured, Young Master, everything is in place. We shall make our move in three days."
As he finished speaking,
the black-robed man vanished in a flash.
The Elder hurriedly asked, "Young Master, are we really going to cooperate with him? We don't even know who he is. If he has ulterior motives against our Chaos Immortal Hall, the consequences could be disastrous."
Jing Tianyan's face was icy, and he said fiercely, "He's right; I must deal with Gu Chenfeng, and having another ally increases our chances."
"This person's strength is unfathomable, no less than my grandfather's. If he had designs against the Chaos Immortal Mansion, why would he seek me out? He could simply attack the Chaos Immortal Hall directly."
"However, this person's origins are mysterious. I must inform my grandfather about this."
"I will report to the Hall Master immediately!" The Elder said respectfully and vanished in a flash.
Jing Tianyan clenched his fist tightly, full of vicious determination, and said, "Gu Chenfeng, you were lucky last time, but this time I will ensure you're utterly destroyed!"
Three days later.
At Taiyi Divine Hall.
Above the void, the sky changed suddenly, and dark clouds gathered.
Numerous strange and terrifying auras descended, causing panic among the people of Taiyi Divine Hall.
"What's going on? Why are so many powerful auras suddenly approaching?" a disciple asked, pale-faced and trembling.
"Such terrifying auras! These are the auras of Immortal Venerables and Immortal Emperors!"
"No way! Our Taiyi Divine Hall hasn't provoked such terrifying forces."
"No, they're probably here for the Patriarch."
The disciples of Taiyi Divine Hall were all filled with fear.
The leading commander shouted in panic, "Immediately report to the Hall Master and Elders!"
"Hall Master! Elders! This is bad! Powerful enemies are attacking!" A disciple shouted in panic as he rushed towards the main hall.
Inside the main hall,
Nine Nether and the Elders had already sensed the many terrifying auras in the first instant.
Whether it was Nine Nether or the Elders, their faces were extremely pale with fear, and even their eyes held a hint of despair.
An Elder held back his terror and anxiously asked, "Hall Master, what should we do? We're no match for so many terrifying experts."
Nine Nether, suppressing his fear, said gravely, "Everyone, don't panic. As long as the Patriarch is here, they are courting death coming here."
An Elder said in utter panic, "Hall Master! The Taiyi Divine Hall is far from the Immortal Mansion, I'm afraid it's too late!"
"I will find a way to buy time." Nine Nether hastily ordered, "Great Elder, quickly proceed to the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion to report to the Patriarch!"
"Yes!" The Great Elder respectfully accepted the command and immediately flashed out of the main hall.
Nine Nether then ordered, "Second Elder, quickly head to the Cyan Profound Palace, instruct them to report to the Supreme Immortal Hall and ask for immediate support."
"Yes!" The Second Elder respectfully accepted the command and also immediately flashed out of the main hall, hurrying towards the Cyan Profound Palace.
Nine Nether then flashed out of the main hall, along with the Third Elder and other Immortal Kings.
Nine Nether had just broken through to the Immortal Monarch Realm, while the Elders and other high-ranking members were only at the Immortal King Realm. Facing Immortal Venerable and Immortal Emperor experts, they were as insignificant as ants.
At this moment,
above the majestic palace of Taiyi Divine Hall,
the Hall Master of Taiqing Hall, along with the Elders, Jing Tianyan, and other powerful figures appeared in a flash, a terrifying aura enveloping Taiyi Divine Hall.
The oppressive momentum mercilessly suppressed the people of Taiyi Divine Hall.
However, the mysterious black-robed person was nowhere to be seen.
Throughout Taiyi Divine Hall, even Nine Nether was suppressed by the terrifying momentum and couldn't move, the weaker disciples coughed up blood, severely injured and collapsing to the ground.
Nine Nether strained against the terrifying pressure, lifted his head to look at the figures in the sky, and his gaze locked onto Jing Tianyan as he struggled to say, "It's you!"
Jing Tianyan took a step in the air, extended his hand, and forcibly pulled Nine Nether up towards the sky, arrogantly sneering, "Gu Chenfeng probably values your life, doesn't he?"
"Hall Master!" The Third Elder and the disciples screamed in terror.
Unfortunately, they could do nothing, their bodies unable to move, severely injured.
As he finished speaking,
Jing Tianyan immediately grasped Nine Nether's throat, his terrifying power binding Nine Nether.
Jing Tianyan sneered again, "It takes just a flick of a finger for me to turn you to dust. I'm curious to see how Gu Chenfeng will save you in front of so many experts!"
Nine Nether, struggling with the painful difficulty of breathing, shouted angrily, "Jing Tianyan, my master won't let you off. By opposing my master, you're courting death!"
"Oh? Master?" Jing Tianyan was quite surprised, "I didn't expect Gu Chenfeng to be your master. This just got more interesting."
"Do you think Gu Chenfeng will kneel before me to save you? Or will he abandon his own life to save you?"
Nine Nether roared angrily, "You're shameless!"
