1090 Seven Gods Descend
“But…” Master Crocodile’s words instantly froze the atmosphere to the extreme. The pupils of Wang Xianzhi constricted. He knew very well that the Master Crocodile in front of him was not a good person. Once he really wanted to interfere in this matter, then no matter what, he would not be able to take a step through the Heavenly Gate today.
Master Crocodile looked at him coldly and said, “The Heavenly Dao has said that Immortal Emperors are not allowed to interfere in the matters of the world. You… have already violated the rules.”
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, Wang Xianzhi’s expression instantly turned cold. Of course, he knew what the rules Master Crocodile was talking about were. They were the rules set up by the gods back then to balance the situation in the Ancient Immortal Realm.
One of them was that an Immortal Emperor had already transcended the mortal world. They were not allowed to interfere in the matters of the world. It was also because of this rule that the myriad races would rise in the Immortal Ancient in the future.
However, this so-called regulation had actually long disappeared after the Immortal Ancient was destroyed. The Ancient Immortal Realm no longer existed, and the previous regulations would definitely disappear.
For millions of years, apart from those old monsters who still lived in the world, not many people remembered such a rule.
Now that Master Crocodile mentioned this regulation again, Wang Xianzhi hesitated. He knew that Master Crocodile had deliberately raised this regulation to make things difficult for him. If he didn’t comply, it would be a violation of the rules. He would have a reason to stop him because of his violation.
At that time, karma would be orderly. He would be justified in enforcing the Dao on behalf of the heavens.
“Senior! Do you really want to save this young man by suddenly mentioning this old rule?” Wang Xianzhi was silent for a moment. He looked at Ye Qiu, who was standing in the swamp under the dark fog.
Master Crocodile said coldly, “No! I disdain to save anyone, but if… someone tries to violate the rules under my nose, then don’t blame me for being rude.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Xianzhi already understood his determination.
“This damn sly old fox! He spoke righteously and stopped me with the excuse of upholding the Heavenly Dao rules. He actually shamelessly refused to admit it. Haha, but do you think I can’t do anything like this?” Wang Xianzhi thought to himself and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.
“Since Senior has said so, I naturally don’t dare to openly violate the rules. Just as Senior said, Immortal Emperors… are not allowed to interfere in the matters of the world. Does that mean that Senior is not allowed to interfere in the matters of this world?” Wang Xianzhi’s tone turned cold and teasing.
Hearing this, Master Crocodile’s expression suddenly turned cold. How could he not hear the trap in Wang Xianzhi’s words? However, he had no room to take it back. Moreover, Ye Qiu had once told him that as long as he stopped Wang Xianzhi, he could settle the rest alone.
In the beginning, Master Crocodile still doubted this little fellow, but after he used the Eight Desolates Burning Array, this doubt was dispelled. Perhaps he could really turn the tide and create a miracle.
Thinking of this, Master Crocodile’s expression finally eased a little. “Of course!” He nodded in agreement with Wang Xianzhi.
Hearing this, Wang Xianzhi smiled! Then, he turned around slightly, and seven men in black appeared behind him. Those seven black-clothed men were one of his trusted generals. All these years, they had followed him everywhere and had also made countless contributions.
The moment he saw those seven people, Master Crocodile’s pupils constricted. As an Immortal Emperor, he could naturally see the strength of those seven people. They were all half-step Immortal Kings! They were terrifying existences infinitely close to the Immortal King realm. If these seven people appeared in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, it would be a world-destroying blow.
Wang Xianzhi ignored Master Crocodile and only said coldly to the seven of them, “Go and deal with it! I don’t want anyone alive…”
Such a calm tone was filled with killing intent. Wang Xianzhi did not rely on luck to reach this point like his Patriarch. He had really relied on himself to fight his way up step by step. His methods were naturally more ruthless and decisive than ordinary people.
“Yes.” They replied in unison. In an instant, the seven figures disappeared into the Heavenly Gate.
Master Crocodile felt a little regretful. It was not that he was afraid of karma, but that he had just revived. With his current strength, it was indeed difficult to resist the current Wang Xianzhi. One had to know that the current Wang Xianzhi was not only powerful, but he also had many experts and huge forces.
At this moment, Master Crocodile was not confident in openly starting a war with him. One had to know that he had promised Ye Qiu. After this calamity, he would go to the outer realm to protect Ye Qiu’s ascension.
If he went up just like that, wouldn’t he be giving it for nothing? Moreover, he, who had just come out, had yet to understand the current situation in the outer realm. Once he openly violated the rules, he would be the one surrounded by many Immortal Emperors.
He could not take this risk.
“Whew,” Ye Qiu had already received a voice transmission from Master Crocodile. After clearly knowing that Wang Xianzhi would not attack, his anxious heart finally calmed down. “A half-step Immortal King! Hmm… It’s even more optimistic than I imagined.”
Ye Qiu’s figure instantly disappeared from the spot as he muttered. In the next second, he had already returned to the Heavenly Courts.
“Master.” The people standing in front of the Lingxiao Palace immediately welcomed Ye Qiu when they saw him return.
“Celestial Thearch, how is it?” Everyone hurriedly asked.
The might of an Immortal Emperor above their heads made it difficult for them to raise their heads. They panted unevenly and could not calm down at all. Everyone knew very well that once an Immortal Emperor entered the arena, it would be a world-destroying disaster.
No one could remain calm!
Ye Qiu looked at them and felt a little relieved. They were still protecting the Heavenly Courts in this calamity. Such firm determination was rare.
Xiao Jinse walked forward and said, “Senior Di Kui from the underground city sent news that he told us to do whatever we want! As for the aftermath, they will deal with it themselves.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu finally let go of his last trace of uneasiness. Very good! The underground city didn’t go back on their word. Ye Qiu was relieved after hearing their words.
No matter how strong Wang Xianzhi was, it was impossible for him to dare to compete with that Infinite Martial Monarch. That was not a lonely Immortal Emperor like Master Crocodile, who had been sealed for tens of thousands of years, but an Infinite Martial Monarch with absolute deterrence.
Ye Qiu nodded in response to Xiao Jinse. Then, he addressed everyone present. He shouted, “Everyone! The first battle established by my Heavenly Courts is about to arrive. This battle concerns the life and death of my Heavenly Courts. It also concerns whether my Heavenly Courts can really stand firm in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
“I am with all of you! Fear not the want of armor, for mine is also yours to wear!”
