"Ha ha, Zhao Tian of Yangxu Holy Land, Chu Wuji of the Great Sun Empire, Xiao Huo of the Ancient Xiao Clan?"
"I didn't expect three super experts, each at the half-step King realm, would come personally. However, if you all want to pay your respects to Young Master Gu, I'm afraid you won't succeed without some sincerity."
The Tai Xuan Holy Lord stood with his hands behind his back, calm and unhurried, appearing in midair.
A hint of mocking smiled on his face as his voice spread far and wide.
Behind him, the elders and disciples of Tai Xuan Holy Land stood without panic, each wearing an expression of composure and faint disdain.
After all, now that they had latched onto that young master's thigh, the other forces of Eastern Wasteland were nothing but a bunch of clay chickens and tile dogs.
The saying "When one person ascends to the Dao, even the dogs and chickens rise with them" was exactly what they felt at the moment.
Now that they knew the truth, they felt a sense of superiority.
The other major forces? What were they even worth?
Before Young Master Gu, it was all just a slap away.
If they dared offend him, not just the mountain gate, but the terrifying beings behind Young Master Gu might directly wipe them out.
With such powerful backing, why would they be afraid?
"What?"
However, at this moment, everyone outside the mountain gate, including the White-robed Elder and the royal uncle of the Great Sun Empire, were all stunned, their minds failing to comprehend.
The cultivators aboard the ancient warships, flying boats, and even the fierce beasts all froze.
The aggressive forces they had gathered faced a Tai Xuan Holy Land that showed no intent to resist. This was far beyond everyone's expectations.
"What does the Tai Xuan Holy Lord mean by this?"
Many were extremely shocked.
Disaster was already at their doorstep, but the elders and disciples of Tai Xuan Holy Land were acting so calm and fearless?
What was going on?
Had everyone in Tai Xuan Holy Land gone mad?
Or did they have some reliance or confidence?
"Who is this Young Master Gu? Could it be the young man rumored to be closely associated with Tai Xuan Holy Land?"
"Or is this all just a feint from Tai Xuan Holy Land?"
The White-robed Elder, named Zhao Tian and also the Supreme Elder of Yangxu Holy Land, thought to himself in quiet contemplation.
Having lived for thousands of years, he quickly realized something was off.
Everyone in Tai Xuan Holy Land was simply too calm.
Who gave them this confidence?
Even if their Supreme Elder were resurrected and their cultivation further advanced, they wouldn't necessarily have the ability to block such an array of forces.
At this very moment, the atmosphere before Tai Xuan Holy Land's mountain gate was exceedingly strange.
"Hmph, Young Master Gu? Who is that?"
"They sound young, could they be a descendant of some reclusive old monster? But even so, what difference would it make?"
"I, the old emperor of the Great Sun Empire, have come with the empire's royal artifacts. With full revival, I could fight even against those at the King realm."
The old emperor of the Great Sun Empire, named Chu Wuji, said coldly, his voice echoing forward, carrying terrifying pressure.
There was a deep enmity between the Great Sun Empire and Tai Xuan Holy Land!
Today was the perfect opportunity to annihilate Tai Xuan Holy Land—how could he possibly let it slip?
"Why not walk a path of survival when offered, and instead choose a path of death? What's the point of that?"
"How could the identity of Young Master Gu be something you can imagine?"
"Ants trying to glimpse the sky's face? That's nothing but wishful thinking."
Upon hearing this, the Tai Xuan Holy Lord stood with his hands behind his back and a mock smile, speaking with a tone of arrogance.
He himself was no soft figure and naturally wouldn't pass up this opportunity to strike fear through others.
Today, they would use this to intimidate the other major forces of Eastern Wasteland.
From now on, the land of Eastern Wasteland would undoubtedly revere Tai Xuan Holy Land!
And this, of course, was with Young Master Gu's consent...
Thinking of this, the Tai Xuan Holy Lord's face broke into another mocking smile.
Many forces were closely watching this entire scene.
By now, word had likely spread through the networks of spies in various other forces, causing a stir.
Zhao Tian, the old emperor of the Great Sun Empire, was known for his violent temper.
Upon hearing these words, how could he stand it? His face turned green.
"Chu Wuji, hold on! Something's wrong. This isn't simple. Today's events are truly strange..."
The Supreme Elder of Yangxu Holy Land, Zhao Tian, furrowed his brow and hurriedly stopped the old emperor from making a move.
Although he had also brought the sect's most precious artifact, his heart was uneasy.
Under the watchful eyes of so many, the calm and unperturbed reaction from Tai Xuan Holy Land made him uneasy.
After all, the other major forces of Eastern Wasteland had gathered here.
In such a scenario, where the wolves were many and the meat was scarce, how could Tai Xuan Holy Land remain so confident and arrogant?
His curiosity about the mysterious young master had only deepened. All previous guesses were probably wrong.
How terrifying must this young man's background be to make the Tai Xuan Holy Lord so unafraid?
Zhao Tian, having lived for thousands of years, his senses honed sharp, quickly pieced together that something was wrong. Sweat trickled down his forehead, and his back felt cold.
"Is the intelligence wrong? Or did Tai Xuan Holy Land intentionally release false information?"
At this moment, people from other major forces also looked troubled. It was clear they weren't foolish and had figured everything out.
"Ha ha, Su Tai Xuan, you're right. We've heard for a long time that the young master was in your Tai Xuan Holy Land. My Xiao family has discussed it for a long time and has come specifically to pay our respects, hoping to catch a glimpse of the young master's divine countenance."
"We've prepared many gifts."
At that moment, a sturdy middle-aged man in golden armor, carrying a hearty smile, stepped out from the majestic warship before Tai Xuan Holy Land's mountain gate.
His voice was loud and echoed in the air.
"This Xiao Huo is quite the crafty one..."
Upon hearing these words, many cultivators from various forces changed their expressions. Some were even left dumbfounded.
This was too real.
In such a short time, the head of the ancient Xiao family had changed his attitude so quickly?
Wasn't this too fast?
Who was the one that had threatened to wash Tai Xuan Holy Land in blood just moments ago?
Many people inwardly cursed, "Shameless!"
Then, they followed suit, openly declaring their wish to pay respects to the young master.
"Yes, yes, we are here to pay respects to the young master."
"We hope Tai Xuan Holy Land will notify us."
"Su Tai Xuan is quite the master of tactics..."
This scene caused Zhao Tian's expression to change dramatically.
At the same time, he inwardly cursed, "That was close. Good thing I didn't attack Tai Xuan Holy Land just now."
