Chapter 1286: Chapter 767: Campaign Against Evil_2
After all, Taiyi Hall is the territory of the Earth Element Daoist Monarch. The Earth Element Daoist Monarch has the Earth Book in his hand. Within Taiyi Hall, the Earth Element Daoist Monarch has too much of an advantage.
If one were to really take action in Taiyi Hall, no one should be able to contend with the Earth Element Daoist Monarch. Even if the Earth Element Daoist Monarch has good character, one cannot gamble on others’ character with oneself.
Furthermore, aside from the Earth Element Daoist Monarch, there is also Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, who certainly has a grudge against Gao Xuan. And there is the Polar Star Monarch, and Yuan Qinglian. Is Gao Xuan not afraid of these people joining forces to kill him?
Gao Xuan acts with extreme ruthlessness, his thoughts are inscrutable. How could a character like this not be on guard against others?
Despite the White Ape Lord’s apparent erratic behavior, he actually has many thoughts, he sees things very accurately. This is why he’s been able to leap around for so many years without incident.
Today, the White Ape Lord found himself unable to understand Gao Xuan. No matter how you look at it, going to Four Seas City is a bad move, not something a wise person would choose.
Yue Honglian asked the White Ape Lord, "Old Bai, what are you thinking about? With your old face all wrinkled."
"Nothing much, today things seem a little off. You should stay alert."
The White Ape Lord warned Yue Honglian, he felt today’s Dharma assembly harbored some danger.
"Xiaobai, you’re quite alert though."
Yuan Qinglian, who had appeared at some unknown time, laughed as she teased the White Ape Lord.
The White Ape Lord was first surprised then delighted, "Sword Venerable, you’re here. It’s good that you’re here."
Yuan Qinglian had a strange temperament, no one knew if she would attend the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly. Her sudden appearance boosted the spirits of the disciples of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect.
Under the leadership of Qin Feilian, all disciples of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect together saluted and greeted Yuan Qinglian.
"You may rise."
Yuan Qinglian casually instructed, she then spoke to Fairy Meng Die, "Fellow Daoist Meng Die, we meet again."
"Greetings, Sword Venerable."
Fairy Meng Die bowed in salute, she did not dare be disrespectful in front of Yuan Qinglian.
Although they interact as equals, Yuan Qinglian’s cultivation and status are there. When Yuan Qinglian is polite with her, she must express her humility.
Jin Xiang and Yuan Xiang also greeted Yuan Qinglian together. It was Jin Xiang’s first time seeing this foremost Sword Immortal in the world, and there was quite a bit of curiosity in her gaze towards Yuan Qinglian.
Yuan Qinglian sized up Jin Xiang as well, nodding approval, "Quite impressive strength, very good."
Jin Xiang nodded indifferently, not feeling it was any form of praise.
Yuan Xiang was frightened, afraid Yuan Qinglian would provoke a fight, he apologized and hurriedly left with Jin Xiang.
"Sword Venerable, we shall not disturb you further."
Dream Realm Fairy also didn’t want to stay, she led a few talents in saluting and departing, once leaving the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect’s area, the few talents breathed a sigh of relief.
Once Yuan Qinglian arrived, their Divine Souls were completely suppressed. This suppression was different from the previous suppression by Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan views them from a high point, treating them as ants and dust.
Yuan Qinglian was sharper beyond compare, even a careless glance would immediately slice their Divine Souls with her Sword Intent.
Though it was the same absolute suppression, Gao Xuan’s was powerful, Yuan Qinglian’s was sharp. Comparatively, Yuan Qinglian made them more uneasy.
Dream Realm Fairy was entrusted by several elders to show them around, now the task was complete, she sent the few talents on their way.
Returning to her own Sect area, Dream Realm Fairy suddenly sighed, "We shouldn’t have come on this trip."
Hua Feiye was somewhat shocked, "Master, is something amiss?"
Dream Realm Fairy’s gaze scanned over Gao Xuan on the Golden Dragon Throne, though separated by intangible Heaven and Earth Law, she could see him but couldn’t sense his aura.
Gao Xuan appeared relaxed and joyful, seeming to converse happily with the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.
Yet Yuan Qinglian had even come. Dream Realm Fairy felt something was off.
If the Earth Element Daoist Monarch and Yuan Qinglian really joined forces to eliminate Gao Xuan, it would inevitably lead to a battle shaking Heaven and Earth.
The various cultivators within Taiyi Hall would instantly vanish into ash if affected even slightly.
Dream Realm Fairy regretted bringing her disciples to the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly. Now it was slightly late to leave.
The key thing was that leaving without reason would completely disrespect the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.
Dream Realm Fairy surveyed the surroundings, and most Earth Immortals had serious expressions.
These Earth Immortals sensed the aura of danger. The problem was they were also helpless, no one could simply leave.
The hearts of many Earth Immortals were uneasy, they could only hope the Earth Element Daoist Monarch could handle the situation. Even if a battle did erupt, he would protect their safety.
Earth Element Daoist Monarch also detected the abnormal atmosphere within the hall, he smiled at Gao Xuan, saying, "Because of the arrival of Fellow Daoist, many cultivators are frightened and uneasy."
Gao Xuan smiled, "That is unrelated to me."
Earth Element Daoist Monarch nodded slightly, it was indeed not Gao Xuan’s fault. Additionally, Gao Xuan made it clear, he didn’t care about these cultivators at all.
Earth Element Daoist Monarch pondered a moment and said, "It’s mainly because Fellow Daoist has too fierce a reputation, which inevitably leads to misunderstandings by many fellow Daoists, forming preconceived notions."
"I’ve slain so many Demon Emperors, there’s no misunderstanding."
Gao Xuan did not argue, there was no need to argue this matter.
Earth Element Daoist Monarch appreciated Gao Xuan’s frankness, at their level, they could no longer be judged solely by good and evil.
Just like Gao Xuan thoroughly exterminating the Eight Desolates Demon Emperors, the Demon Emperors naturally saw Gao Xuan as a villain. From the Heavenly Dao perspective, it was merely a natural replacement, indifferent to right and wrong.
Of course, Earth Element Daoist Monarch had his likes and dislikes. If Gao Xuan were to rampage in Central Province, he definitely would not allow it.
Earth Element Daoist Monarch curiously asked, "Fellow Daoist, having exterminated the Eight Desolates Demon Emperors, what considerations did you have?"
"It was no more than taking a shortcut, borrowing the Spiritual Qi of the Eight Desolates for cultivation. That’s why I took action."
