Suddenly, a young man in plain clothes appeared and immobilized and dispelled the terrifying gray ghost claw that had shaken the entire scene.
This scene naturally shocked all the powerful figures present.
It should be noted that the gray ghost claw that Meng Dian just unleashed made even the Golden Core Realm cultivators tremble with fear and find it difficult to resist.
Unexpectedly, the young man in plain clothes so casually and effortlessly dispelled and annihilated it completely.
No one even figured out how he did it.
For a moment, everyone stared blankly at the boy in plain clothes.
Some of the more astute individuals had already guessed his identity.
But many more were still in shock.
Just then, everyone saw the three Holy Lords suddenly bow in unison to Lu Qing.
"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Lu."
"Senior Holy Lord, it seems you've encountered some trouble," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"As expected, the three of us are not enough. We can only trouble you, Fellow Daoist Lu."
The First Holy Lord shook his head and sighed.
Ultimately, they were unable to gain the acceptance of their beliefs from all the sects in the world, just as they had a thousand years ago.
"Leave it to me." Lu Qing nodded without hesitation.
Hearing their conversation, everyone around immediately understood.
The young man in plain clothes in front of me is truly the legendary figure!
For a moment, everyone was deeply shocked and stared intently at Lu Qing.
They had long heard of this man's illustrious reputation.
However, most people are seeing him in person for the first time.
Lu Qing turned around and looked at Meng Dian in mid-air with a calm expression.
"Meng Dian of the Guiyuan Sect? Your Guiyuan Sect wants to replace the Holy Mountain and sit in the position of the leader of the righteous path?"
When Meng Dian felt Lu Qing's gaze fall on him, his body stiffened abruptly.
Even his mental and spiritual power were somewhat malfunctioning.
Unfortunately, the person in front of us might not be considered particularly prominent in the world.
After all, most cultivators are not even qualified to have heard of his name.
But among these top sects, that's incredibly prestigious.
Because this person is currently the only one in the world with the terrifying ability to kill someone at the Golden Core stage.
And just now, the other party so easily annihilated his gray ghost claw.
This also shows that the opponent's strength is indeed unfathomable and difficult to fathom.
However, despite being extremely wary of Lu Qing, Meng Dian still managed to calm himself down in front of so many powerful figures.
He forced a smile and said, "You must be Fellow Daoist Lu Qing. I am Meng Dian, the Grand Elder of the Guiyuan Sect. I greet you, Fellow Daoist Lu Qing."
However, Lu Qing did not want to be polite or try to get close to him.
He simply said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Meng Dian paused, seemingly not expecting Lu Qing to be so disrespectful in front of everyone.
However, he still solemnly said, "As you have probably seen, the three Holy Lords' true forms cannot leave the Holy Mountain. In the current situation of the world, they are no longer suitable to be the leaders of the righteous path."
For the sake of our righteous cause, both morally and logically, they should all step down and yield to more capable individuals.
Otherwise, even I would not be able to defeat them with just the strength of these few Dharma bodies of the three Holy Lords.
How then can we deter evil and wicked people from the world, and gain the respect of all those who follow our path?
"So you think your Guiyuan Sect is qualified to sit in this position?" Lu Qing asked with a half-smile.
“There are many talented people in the world, and my Guiyuan Sect certainly does not dare to say that it can be the best among all sects. But I still maintain that the Holy Mountain is no longer qualified to be the leader of the righteous path.”
Meng Dianyi spoke with righteous indignation.
"What if I said it has the qualifications?" Lu Qing said calmly.
Meng Dian was stunned.
He stared blankly at Lu Qing, unsure of what to say.
But Lu Qing continued, "You seem to highly value the idea that the strong are respected. Now, I'm saying that I acknowledge the status of the leader of the Holy Mountain's righteous path. Do you dare to object?"
Or rather, is there anyone here who wants to object?
This left not only Meng Dian, but also the powerful figures from the other sects stunned.
He stared blankly at the plain-clothed boy in front of him.
No one expected that he would support the Holy Mountain so directly and clearly.
"It seems no one objects."
Lu Qing looked around and, seeing that no one was speaking, smiled and said.
"Lord Lu Qing, so you also agree with the three Holy Lords' approach of restricting and restraining cultivators throughout the world?"
By doing this, aren't you afraid of making enemies of all cultivators in the world?
At this moment, Meng Dian finally couldn't help but speak.
"To be an enemy of the world?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing shook his head: "It seems that you all have some misunderstanding about your own strength."
What gave you nature that makes you feel qualified to be my enemy?
After saying that, a wisp of aura emerged from Lu Qing's body.
The next moment, everyone felt a weight on their bodies as an indescribable, terrifying pressure suppressed their souls and bodies.
Moreover, the oppressive force grew heavier and heavier, as if an endless mountain was descending from the sky, pressing down inch by inch.
"Restriction and restraint? It's just to make you abide by a few prohibitions. In the future, during battles, try to avoid places where ordinary civilians gather, and do not commit murder indiscriminately."
In your eyes, however, this has become a form of confinement?
"A bunch of ignorant fools, their cultivation has gone down the path of dogs!"
You think you've developed some spiritual power and mastered some strength.
Even if one steps onto the path of immortality, can one rise above other human beings and arbitrarily annihilate them?
Don't forget, you weren't born with power either; you cultivated it from ordinary people.
In recent years, because of the disputes stirred up by you good-for-nothings, countless people have been displaced and are living in misery.
In other words, the three holy lords are merciful and want to give you a chance.
That's why this holy assembly was convened, to re-discuss and come up with a set of rules that could maintain stability throughout the world.
Otherwise, according to my plan, I would just kill all of you guys.
That would immediately reduce the world's strife by more than half, and the people would no longer have to live such a difficult life!
Lu Qing spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone gradually turning cold.
His aura, however, grew increasingly terrifying.
The phantom of a large, ancient, fiery red cauldron gradually appeared behind him.
Of all the powerful individuals present, only a few were spared by him.
Everyone else, whether they were in the Innate Realm, the Foundation Establishment Realm, or even the Golden Core Realm.
They were all overwhelmed by the boundless power he exuded, their minds suffocated and they could hardly breathe.
They could only stare in utter horror at Lu Qing, who seemed like a god.
Those at the Golden Core stage, in particular, found it hard to believe.
Because they discovered that they couldn't even muster a single ounce of power.
Whether it's spiritual power or magical power within the body.
They were all completely suppressed by this terrifying pressure.
What terrified them even more were Lu Qing's words.
Judging from his tone, he intends to slaughter them all here?!
It sounds incredibly crazy, but at this moment, no one dares [N O V E L I G H T] to question whether Lu Qing has such an ability.
The scene before us says it all.
Lu Qing's mere aura was enough to suppress the entire scene.
Even a Golden Core cultivator was unable to move.
As the killing intent emanating from Lu Qing grew stronger, the fear in everyone's hearts also intensified.
Unfortunately, they were suppressed and couldn't even beg for mercy.
Upon realizing this, despair has already appeared in the eyes of many people.
Finally, just when someone was about to collapse from the pressure of Lu Qing's aura and die,...
Suddenly, the First Holy Lord sighed and stepped forward: "Young Fellow Daoist Lu, that's enough. Let them go this time."
If this continues, I fear someone will not be able to withstand your aura and will suffer a mental breakdown and die.
“Senior Holy Lord, you are still too merciful.” Lu Qing shook his head.
However, heeded the First Holy Lord's advice and concealed his aura.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
As Lu Qing concealed his aura, countless people on the massive stone platform lost their balance and collapsed to the ground.
Not a single mistake, not a single song, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single 6-9 book, not a single bar, take a look!
He was drenched in sweat, panting heavily, his face showing the look of someone who had survived a disaster.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Qing was filled with fear.
Just now, they truly believed that they were about to be crushed to death by that terrifying aura.
"Your Excellency..."
On the Cold Water Palace side, everyone looked at Lu Qing with indescribable admiration.
Just now, the Cold Water Palace was one of the few forces that Lu Qing bypassed and did not exert any pressure on.
Therefore, they could see more clearly how Lu Qing completely suppressed all the powerful figures present with just his aura.
"He truly lives up to his reputation; he is indeed the number one person in the world."
At the location of Qingyang Temple, the old Taoist priest with white hair and beard wiped the sweat from his brow.
Looking at Lu Qing, who remained calm in the arena, I felt a lingering fear.
Unlike the Cold Water Palace, their Qingyang Temple was also enveloped by Lu Qing's imposing aura.
Even he was powerless to move under Lu Qing's imposing aura.
No matter how much he activated the magical energy within his body, he couldn't break through that terrifying suppressive power.
The old Taoist priest, whose hair and beard were originally white, still had a certain degree of confidence.
But this made him, the abbot of Qingyang Temple, realize something.
In front of Lu Qing, he was just as vulnerable as everyone else.
"This person is someone we can never afford to mess with!"
On the Cloud and Water Secret Realm side, the Golden Core cultivator was filled with horror.
He had brought with him a treasured artifact from his sect this time, just in case.
If anything unexpected happens during the Holy Assembly, he can use his magical artifacts to protect the disciples of his sect.
But just now, under Lu Qing's imposing aura...
He was horrified to discover that the precious treasure within his body was completely unusable.
No matter how hard he tried to activate it, it couldn't escape from his body and was firmly suppressed in his dantian!
By now, he understood that Lu Qing's strength had long since reached a level he could not even imagine.
Let alone just a precious treasure, even if I were to carry a legendary magical artifact, I would probably have no chance of winning against Lu Qing.
No, it's not that there's no chance of winning!
However, he would probably still be unable to move in front of Lu Qing.
At this moment, this Golden Core cultivator immediately listed Lu Qing as a terrifying existence that their Cloud Water Secret Realm could never provoke.
If even the three great secret realms are like this, then what about other sects and forces?
In their hearts, Lu Qing had now become the person they respected the most.
"Meng Dian, does your Guiyuan Sect still aspire to be the leader of the righteous path?"
At this moment, Lu Qing's voice rang out again.
All eyes were on Meng Dian.
Under Lu Qing's oppressive aura, this previously arrogant and powerful Golden Core cultivator had long since lost his footing and fell from the sky.
Even though he was already mentally injured, he was further intimidated by Lu Qing's oppressive aura, which aggravated his injuries even more.
His face was now pale and his breathing had weakened considerably.
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, Meng Dian's face paled even further.
A hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Just now, under Lu Qing's oppressive aura, he did try to activate the extraordinary treasure within his body to resist.
But he was horrified to discover that the extraordinary treasure, which had always been powerful and unparalleled in its power since he had refined and mastered it, was actually a powerful artifact.
Faced with Lu Qing's presence, they were like mice seeing a cat.
No matter how he tried to urge it, it remained tightly tucked away deep within his dantian, not daring to move an inch.
They dared not reveal even the slightest trace of their presence.
With his greatest support gone, Meng Dian felt even less confident when facing Lu Qing.
He gave a bitter smile: "Your cultivation is far beyond my imagination. Among cultivators, the strong are respected. Since your strength is unparalleled in the world, then this world is naturally under your control."
However, I will say it again: we cultivators are born to defy constraints.
Even if you can suppress the world with violence, one day, an even more powerful genius will emerge and break these shackles!
His words were spoken with such resolute determination that they moved even the assembled experts.
No one expected that Meng Dian would remain so resolute even at this point.
Many people couldn't help but look at him with new respect.
Some cultivators even felt a faint sense of resonance.
"Stubborn and obstinate".
Seeing Meng Dian's generous expression, Lu Qing shook his head.
"Your confidence must come from that evil treasure inside you. It seems you've been quite bewitched by it."
"In that case, I'll see who's hiding behind you!"
After saying that, Lu Qing stretched out his hand.
Upon seeing this, Meng Dian immediately sensed something was wrong. His magical power surged, and a gray light appeared on his body. He then tried to escape.
But how could he possibly cause trouble for Lu Qing?
The moment he stirred, a powerful suppressing force descended upon him, completely subduing him.
Then Lu Qing opened his palm and loosely clenched his fingers.
The next moment, a powerful force penetrated his body, reaching his dantian, and instantly seized something before it could react.
What are you going to do?
Meng Dian sensed Lu Qing's movement, his eyes filled with fear, and he shouted loudly.
But Lu Qing ignored him completely, lightly grasping with his five fingers.
As he made this move, strange phenomena occurred.
A gray ghost claw was slowly pulled out from Meng Dian's dantian.
The ghostly claw looked terrifying and was filled with an evil aura.
Just looking at it can make one feel dizzy and filled with malice.
This horrific scene immediately shocked everyone.
