Chapter 418

"Although this person is no match for the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen."

"But since he dares to meddle in the affairs of the Qinglong Society, clearly there is another master behind him."

"This master may not be much weaker than Ximen Wudi."

"That could be worth considering."

Xiongba nodded, thought for a moment, then asked,

"Are there any other methods?"

"This…"

The purple-robed elder hesitated, his eyes growing distant, clearly struggling to think.

"I recall an ancient legend from Yunzhou—that in some hidden corner, there exists a god of immortality, watching all from the shadows."

"His strength is nearly earth-shattering."

"If we can find this person, perhaps we can resolve the crisis posed by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen."

"Seeing Di Shitian?"

The god of Yunzhou—Xiongba's first thought was Seeing Di Shitian, who often called himself "this god."

"No…"

The purple-robed elder shook his head firmly,

"The legend of this immortal god emerged after Seeing Di Shitian."

"Even Seeing Di Shitian once sought him."

"But he ultimately failed to find him!"

"There is such a person?"

Xiongba felt a chill—Yunzhou's martial world truly teemed with hidden dragons and tigers.

"Wen Chouchou, deliver my order: immediately search for the immortal god and that mysterious man from before."

"Yes, my lord."

Wen Chouchou, waiting outside, immediately accepted the command.

The vast powerhouse of Tianxia Society sprang into motion.

"Bai Suzhen… you didn't die…"

Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, the immortal god stared at the Heavenly Dao Golden List and slowly uttered these words.

"No good. Since you've returned from the Underworld, I'll send you back again."

The one who understands the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen best is the immortal god.

The one who most wants the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen dead is also the immortal god.

This world is too small to hold two gods!

Even though it was deep night, the Nine Provinces buzzed with talk of the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

The most discussed topic was the Qinglong Society's Four Season Guardians!

After all, no one had expected the Four Season Guardians to all be women.

And these four beauties were all "picked up" as children by Ximen Wudi and raised to adulthood.

He "picked up" four beauties at once—and turned them all into supreme Mythical Realm experts.

Is Ximen Wudi not too invincible?

Four beautiful, powerful guardians—truly envious to all.

In contrast, within the Great Ming Palace, things were different.

At this moment, the Great Ming Palace was eerily silent.

The four powers clashed, none yielding to the other.

After the Heavenly Dao Golden List was announced, a beam of Jin Guang flared to life in the hands of the Sun surname Daoist, then slowly faded.

Faintly, one could see he held a thin book and two pills exuding rich fragrance.

"You are Sun En?"

Prince Zichu reacted instantly, breaking the silence first, eyeing the Daoist with a strange expression.

"Your Highness has keen eyes—this humble Daoist is indeed Sun En."

Sun En immediately accepted, then tucked the two pills and the *Taiping Qingling Dao* into his robes.

The ultimate realm of the Huang Tian Fa—the "Formless Weapon"—the "Huang Tian Wuji" that annihilates both form and spirit!

Added to that: the Awakening Pill, the Longevity Pill, and the *Taiping Qingling Dao*!

Under the rewards of the Heavenly Dao Golden List, Sun En was clearly the greatest beneficiary.

If he consumes the two divine pills and cultivates diligently,

Soon, Great Ming's strength will advance further.

Everyone couldn't help but glance at the gaunt Daoist.

Some envied him; many more were jealous.

"Dao Zun Sun En is the Guardian of the Great Tang Empire. Whoever dares oppose him or covet his treasures, the Great Tang will not hesitate to wage war!"

Wu Zetian stepped forward at the right moment, her graceful voice delivering an overbearing statement.

She cast a hard glare at Prince Zichu, Lotus Life Buddha, and Lord Chuan Ying.

Especially her gaze toward Lord Chuan Ying carried heavy warning.

Clearly, Lord Chuan Ying had just abused his power, leveraging the names of Ximen Wudi and the Qinglong Society,

To humiliate the Great Tang and Empress Wu Zetian.

Now that the Heavenly Dao Golden List has revealed the Qinglong Society's Four Season Guardians, their strength and prestige have soared again.

If Lord Chuan Ying were allowed to trick Sun En as well, the Great Tang—or rather, Wu Zetian herself—would no longer need to keep the nation standing.

After all, a thing may happen once, but not twice.

Lord Chuan Ying's comprehension is decent, his cultivation exceedingly high, but what he's truly best at is his penetrating grasp of human nature.

Otherwise, back then he wouldn't have simply gone along with the current and joined the Qinglong Society, letting Ximen Wudi order him about.

At this moment he also saw through what Wu Zetian meant.

In any case, the Grand Dragon Head only wanted Xie Tiao's two manuals, and now they've already been obtained.

Sun En's reward isn't bad, but it's not worth taking risks.

Great Qin still has a trump card like the He Shi Bi, and right now they're inside the Great Ming Palace—the Great Tang's trump cards are clearly even more abundant.

Earlier, Cang Ju and Wu Zetian letting Xie Tiao die was simply because they didn't want to invite another attack from the Qinglong Society.

"Your Majesty may rest assured. Lord Chuan Ying's mission this time was merely to obtain Xie Tiao's two manuals."

"The Grand Dragon Head gave no further instructions."

"But if the Grand Dragon Head has taken a fancy to what's in Daoist Sun's hands, hehe…"

Lord Chuan Ying chuckled once and said no more.

"Lord Lord Chuan Ying, enough nonsense—will you fight this sovereign, or insist on taking away this Shan Wanjing?"

With the re-publication of the Nine Provinces Heaven's Path Combat Power Ceiling List, the Qinglong Society's strength was exposed even further.

Even Prince Zichu, who had once been a king, could no longer sit still.

What he wanted most right now was to take Shan Wanjing away as quickly as possible.

Through Shan Wanjing, find Shang Xiufang, and further strengthen Great Qin's power.

Lifting the He Shi Bi, it was clear that with just one word from Lord Chuan Ying, he would immediately attack.

Lord Chuan Ying was also at a loss—for the first time he truly felt the sensation of riding a tiger and not being able to dismount.

"When the Qinglong Society handles affairs, does it still need to explain itself to outsiders?"

Just as the standoff reached an impasse and a great clash was about to erupt, a beautiful figure descended from the sky.

She was an absolute beauty, carrying a sword of ancient simplicity and unadorned elegance on her back.

The moment she appeared, everyone felt this was not an absolute beauty, but a single sword thrust between heaven and earth.

"What terrifying Sword Dao cultivation… this person's realm of the Sword Dao may be inferior to Nameless, but it is already extremely fearsome."

Lianhua Sheng Living Buddha and the others, who had once fought Sky Sword Nameless, exchanged uneasy glances.

Monk Huanxi was even trembling uncontrollably all over—back then, the beating Nameless gave him was unspeakably vicious.

Although the woman before them was not Nameless's equal, Monk Huanxi actually felt a trace of dread.
