Chapter 623

"Only by following the Great Dragon Head can we do this!"

Bu Jingyun looked at Long Yuan and gave a brief reply.

He then prepared to take Long Yuan and leave the place.

"No! You cannot take Long Yuan away!"

Miss Xue Yuan flashed her figure and blocked herself in front of Bu Jingyun.

"Why?"

Bu Jingyun looked at Miss Xue Yuan and asked.

"Bu Jingyun, the God seeks immortality.

His Heaven-Shifting Divine Art paired with the World-Destroying Demonic Body can help him achieve immortality, but cannot keep his body from aging.

All these years, he has been using the people of your Bu Divine Clan—especially those like you who have inherited the bloodline of the gods.

After swapping brains with you, he sought to achieve immortality.

But now it's fine—as long as Long Yuan is given to him, he can become immortal.

From now on, he will never need to seek out the descendants of the Bu Divine Clan again.

Only then can you, your father, and those Bu Divine Clan members scattered outside be safe!"

Miss Xue Yuan wore a look of compassionate sorrow. So the reason she had helped the Immortal God seize Long Yuan

was naively to help the Bu Divine Clan escape being hunted by the Immortal God?

Bu Jingyun listened and felt both moved and amused.

"By your logic, you're helping our Bu Divine Clan?"

"Yes!"

In the Soul-Searching Palace, Miss Xue Yuan had seen too many of the Bu Divine Clan ruined by the Immortal God.

Therefore, from a young age, she had firmly held this belief, wanting to help the Bu Divine Clan escape the Immortal God's pursuit.

"Then since he is so cruel and ruins my Bu Divine Clan, why not kill such an evil man?

Instead, let him become immortal and call himself this dog-shit god!"

Ever since Bu Jingyun learned of the Immortal God's harm to the Bu Divine Clan, he had always harbored this thought.

This so-called most outstanding person of the Bu Divine Clan turned out to be the one who harmed the Bu Divine Clan the most.

"He is a god… how could we kill him…"

Miss Xue Yuan was stunned, then immediately spoke these words.

She had grown up in the Soul-Searching Palace, accustomed to seeing the many experts of the Soul-Searching Palace worship the Immortal God.

She also knew of the Immortal God's boundless, unmatched power.

Therefore, the notion of 'god' had unknowingly sunk deep into her heart.

"A god? Then look up—your so-called god can't even beat Di Shitian!"

Bu Jingyun sneered and pointed toward the higher sky.

Because his injuries had healed, Di Shitian's Sacred Heart Art had not only reached the Great Completion state.

He had even found a way to break through the Sacred Heart Art in the Scripture Pavilion.

Now, high in the sky, Di Shitian executed the Sacred Heart Art, freezing the entire space within a hundred li in ice.

In that stretch of heaven and earth, two figures could be seen continuously entangled in combat.

But the Profound Ice freezing a hundred li also meant this area had become Di Shitian's domain.

Within another's domain, how could one possibly hope to defeat that person?

The Immortal God had clearly already fallen into a disadvantage.

"What? A god actually cannot match Di Shitian?"

Miss Xue Yuan saw clearly and was greatly shaken.

All along, the Immortal God in the hearts of everyone in the Soul-Searching Palace was the supreme, omnipotent god!

Who could have imagined that this omnipotent god couldn't even defeat Di Shitian, a mere guest elder of the Qinglong Society?

"Exactly! He can't even beat Mr. Xu, and above Mr. Xu is the Great Dragon Head!"

Bu Jingyun sneered inwardly and added another line.

The entire Nine Provinces knew that Ximen Wudi had once gone alone, suddenly heading to Tianmen.

And everyone in Tianmen surrendered without a fight.

From Di Shitian at the top down to the God Mother Luo Xian, the God Judge, the Ice Emperor, and all the other experts, they all joined the Qinglong Society one after another.

In his early days, Di Shitian was even willing to take on the role of a servant.

If so, how much higher was Ximen Wudi compared to Di Shitian?

Right now, the Immortal God was trapped within Di Shitian's Profound Ice domain—defeat was only a matter of time.

How could such a person call himself a god?

"Just now Mr. Xu and Mr. Xiao were right.

Under heaven, if one truly had to speak of a god, it could only be the Great Dragon Head.

Miss Xue Yuan, I respect you for secretly helping me back then, and I admire your desire to save the Bu Divine Clan. I do not wish to make an enemy of you.

Please step aside! I must take Long Yuan back to the Qinglong Society to report."

Bu Jingyun rarely said so many words.

It was because Miss Xue Yuan had helped him back then, leaving him grateful.

"But… without Long Yuan, he will continue to ruin your Bu Divine Clan…"

Miss Xue Yuan's faith in the Immortal God gradually crumbled, and in the end she could only say this.

"Then let the false god hop around for a couple more days. I, Bu Jingyun, hereby swear: so long as I shall live, I will surely slay this false god beneath my sword!"

Bu Jingyun raised the Absolute Sword on high and swore the oath in a ringing voice.

"Excellent! Truly a fine man whom the great Dragon Head values highly!"

Amid Xiao Jingtian's great laughter, he came to stand beside the two of them.

He could now manifest his true form as a Demon God even in daylight, giving him the strength to fight even against beings of Di Shitian's and the Immortal God's caliber.

To say nothing of Old Fahai, who had once been his defeated foe!

Moreover, Old Fahai the monk had also seen it: with the arrival of the three great guest ministers of the Qinglong Society, this battle—

Although the Soul-Searching Palace had six great experts reinforcing it, it still could not reverse the tide.

He had always felt only fear toward the Immortal God, never reverence.

And it was only for the sake of all living beings under heaven that he had been willing to be driven by the Immortal God.

Therefore, after a hundred exchanges of fierce combat with Xiao Jingtian, he directly conceded defeat and gave up.

With Fahai's surrender, Xiao Jingtian was freed.

The six martial artists who had come to participate in slaying the dragon no longer wished to lay down their lives for the Soul-Searching Palace.

After all, most of them had also been coerced and enticed by the Immortal God; they had not truly submitted to the Soul-Searching Palace.

With these six martial artists going through the motions without exerting themselves, the pressure on the Soul-Searching Palace's side increased sharply.

Fazhi, seeing that even his own master had stopped fighting, withdrew from the encirclement of Xiao Aoshi almost together with the Divine Mother God Xiao Qing.

At this point, only the Divine General and the Right High Priest remained, still taking part in the encirclement of Xiao Aoshi.

"Fool — can't even read the situation. You deserve to die!"

Xiao Aoshi saw the problem, wielded his Heart Sword, struck without warning, and in a single sword-stroke slew the Right High Priest on the spot.

The Divine General saw the Right High Priest die a wretched death, and sensed that the other six martial artists were about to withdraw from the battle circle.

He immediately shouted aloud,

"Mr. Xiao, show mercy! I have long admired the fame of the Qinglong Society and am willing to submit to the Qinglong Society — please accept me!"

At this, the people of the Soul-Searching Palace were all in an uproar.

Unable to win, they would defect to the enemy right on the battlefield?

With the Divine General's defection mid-battle, this fight could no longer be carried on at all.

"Excellent! Since you are willing to abandon darkness for light, that is naturally for the best."

Xiao Aoshi smiled faintly. The Qinglong Society did not lack for talent, but it also cherished talent.

The Divine General's being able to rank on the Heavenly Dao Golden List was, for the Qinglong Society, a gain in fighting strength as well.
