previous male Guardian God were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did she just retreat like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does this mean she’s giving up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hisss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two silently exchanged glances and retreating slightly as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As rough men,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t

current situation, they didn’t dare to interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a certain angle,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous female Guardian God was their only hope...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In dealing with people, women inherently have a unique advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially beautiful women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In negotiations,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beautiful women have an extraordinary effect on men and a not small one on women as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, rough men should keep their mouths shut whenever possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they speak, it might complicate the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when they’re dealing with someone they can’t get a grasp on, someone whose temperament was unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having successfully convinced the previous female Guardian God to retreat and seeing the other two also quietly stepping back, Li Jing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, silently praised his superb acting skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest wasn’t so bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the three present insisted on stopping him, he would have no choice but to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he couldn’t possibly really fight with the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Ninth Realm was just a bluff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they really fought, he would drop dead in a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he had the ability to fight with them, what would happen to the country if they made their move?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three-for-one deal.\" Having driven away the three hurdles in his path, Li Jing redirected his gaze onto Qian Zhixing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Seventh Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Zhixing’s vitality was extraordinarily strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in the gap when Li Jing was \"debating\" with the female Guardian God,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Zhixing’s nearly disintegrated five senses had begun to recover under the nourishment of his strong spiritual power within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That one leg of his that had separated from his body due to an explosion wouldn’t recover so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regenerating severed limbs,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would have been considered a medical miracle back before Li Jing’s time travel was just a small matter for someone in the Seventh Realm, yet it couldn’t happen quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t grow back for about ten days or half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting Li Jing’s cold gaze again, Qian Zhixing’s face grew extremely ugly while he wondered where this person had come from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for him to ponder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud noise, the whole earth trembled three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Unnamed Taoist tool appeared in Li Jing’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was planted on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was simply propping up the Unnamed with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he can subdue a Seventh Realm Monster with a single punch or even explode the mortal body of a normal Seventh Realm creature, he could not control the Unnamed by his power alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing, it’s too heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To use it normally, he must resort to the God’s Hidden Truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing has always been excellent at quick thinking on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if things have come to this point, Qian Zhixing would not easily admit guilt, let alone identify the real culprit behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he has no strength to resist, he still has room to maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, before he reveals the real culprit, Li Jing won’t kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a step is made to kill him, the three Eight Realm ones next to him would not sit idly by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, if he confesses and exposes the real culprit, he would be finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current situation before his eyes is just like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To break the stalemate, Li Jing would have to push his skill of bluffing people to its limit, letting Qian Zhixing recognize that today’s circumstances cannot be easily dismissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Unnamed Taoist Tool appears in the present world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the sudden tremble of the ground when it landed, there wasn’t anything particularly unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Non-human Eight Realm beings, however, who were standing with the two former Guardian Gods, were unsteady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ta... Ta... Taoist Tool!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing heard the voice and chuckled secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person, he knew goods when he saw them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His assistive abilities were impressive as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Unnamed is a broken Taoist tool, essentially devoid of any power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing wasn’t sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the experience of being smashed by the stick, he didn’t know if anyone present could perceive that it was a Taoist tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is that due to its severe damage, even the Spirit Weapon wouldn’t react to the fact that Unnamed is a Taoist tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For people to realize, it could only be through the recognition its realm brings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing didn’t know at what level one had to reach to have a clear understanding of Taoist tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew that it could barely be recognized by the Eighth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eight Realm being from the God Church Country who had previously run so smoothly, even abandoning his daughter, must have recognized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, Li Jing was mainly placing his hopes on the Non-human Eight Realm being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether this Non-human Eight Realm being was a monster, he didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since it was clear that the former was an Alien Species, it must belong to a particularly sensitive type and have lived for a very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast to Alien Species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strengths and weaknesses of human cultivators were quite clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cultivation speed was relatively fast, and their creativity was also quite rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it comes to other aspects, humans often lost to the Alien Species by more than a hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s not talk about physical strength for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of senses and experience, humans can’t compare to the Alien Species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two former Guardian Gods heard the stutter of the Non-human Eight Realm being and widened their eyes in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Taoist tool!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pole in Li Jing’s hand...!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Jing thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the severe damage to Unnamed and essentially lacking any power, the two Guardian Gods were not able to see anything unusual before they directly faced its pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only feel from the tremor of the ground caused by the Unnamed landing, that this seemingly ordinary mace is extraordinarily heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was not a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instinctive exclamation of the Non-human Eight Realm successfully made the two recognize what the Unnamed was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it made Qian Zhixing recognize that someone was holding a Taoist tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Taoist tool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the Ninth Realm, it too only existed in the knowledge of the Present World people as a legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one has seen a Taoist tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are quite a few records and descriptions about Taoist tools, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that the full power of a Taoist tool, even without the owner operating it, could easily obliterate a continent by just following the will of the Spirit Weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was controlled by a person, an adequately strong Taoist tool could even directly destroy space!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroying space...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the harm that a cultivator could do, the present world has a very comprehensive standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth Boundary: With some time, it could destroy a district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six Realm: With some time, it could destroy a city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventh Realm: Can destroy a city instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighth Realm: Can use various means to cause a small nation to annihilate overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same is true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tools also have a complete standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precious Items: Level of danger is high but limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit weapon: Can destroy a district when controlled by a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Items: Can destroy a city when controlled by a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taoist Tools: No upper limit, the level of danger is immeasurable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By putting the two sets of standards together, it was crystal clear to people that the danger level of a Taoist tool vastly surpassed that of the Eight Realm of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that the crude and rusty mace in Li Jing’s hand with a chance of tetanus was, in fact, a Taoist tool, both former Guardian Gods retreated a step in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninth Realm, they couldn’t afford to provoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Longyu as their back-up, things weren’t so absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longyu does not have the Ninth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there are quite a few Eight Realms hidden among the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, even though there is no Ninth Realm in this world, Longyu, as a major country, doesn’t lack crisis awareness. There are not only corresponding response measures that are extremely well-prepared, but there are even plans to deal with the Tenth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that the cost of implementing these measures is huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless it’s absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t be rashly used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation is a bit beyond expectation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of them was not only a cultivator of the Ninth Realm, but also one who possessed a Taoist tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Liao, damn...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where had they met such a formidable figure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two former Guardian Gods tried to imagine, but their imaginations were insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two former Guardian Gods stepping back, Li Jing internally praised the non-human Eighth Realm for its assistance.
