If he failed, it would be considered as him stealing the supreme treasure without permission. The Yun family would completely dissociate themselves from this matter.
Hence, he looked at the Rulers’ envoys, especially at the envoys of the fourth and sixth Rulers. This was because these two sides had chosen to support Yue Dong.
The envoys of the fourth and sixth Rulers were also thinking at this moment. They had already done their best by stopping the third and seventh Rulers’ envoys. If they spoke now, they would be doing too much.
It would surpass their gains.
As such, there was a slight imbalance.
Just as everyone was pondering, a deep voice rang out from the envoy of the First Ruler Mountain.
“Fellow Daoist Yun, when did the Yun family have a say on the matters of the Immortal Arts Hall?”
On the seat of the First Ruler Mountain sat an old man. This old man’s eyes were closed. At this moment, although he still didn’t open his eyes, his voice carried weight as it rumbled through the place.
“In the ancient agreement, matters of the Immortal Arts Hall were to be decided jointly by the Ruler Mountains. Our non-intervention is out of respect, but it does not mean we cannot intervene -only that we do so at necessary moments.”
“Now, it’s time. Everyone, I suggest that we open the cauldron and help the Great Elder to calm the chaos. Anyway, it’s time for this farce to end.”
The expression of the Yun family’s young master changed. As for the immortal masters under the Great Elder, they were excited. They knew that the authority of the first Ruler Mountain was extremely high.
The other envoys were deep in thought. Even the Fourth and Sixth Rulers’ envoys who were leaning toward Yue Dong hesitated. The scales began to tilt. Everything was about to be decided.
At this moment, Xu Qing’s voice was like a cold wind sweeping over, echoing in the square.
“I object!”
His voice instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
The old man who originally had his eyes closed suddenly opened them and looked at Xu Qing.
Xue Chenzi had a lot of weight.
The weight of the Tenth Ruler’s power was even heavier.
Hence, even the heart of the old man from the Tenth Ruler Mountain skipped a beat.
Being stared at by everyone, Xu Qing was calm as usual. After seeing Eldest Senior Brother make a move, he knew that his guess was correct. All of this was done on purpose by Eldest Senior Brother.
He naturally couldn’t let anyone ruin Eldest Senior Brother’s plan.
“Before I came here, the Ruler said that my Tenth Ruler Mountain won’t participate in the internal disputes of the Immortal Arts Hall. My mountain… only supports the victor!”
Xu Qing calmly spoke. His gaze swept over and he looked at the old man from the First Ruler Mountain in a domineering manner, not giving in at all.
The other Ruler envoys fell silent. Their gazes swept past Xu Qing and the old man.
The old man from the First Ruler Mountain looked at Xu Qing and spoke hoarsely.
“I’m curious. Xue Chenzi, you clearly have a grudge against Yue Dong. Why are you behaving like this?”
“Compared to personal grudges, I naturally prioritize the orders of the Ruler.” Xu Qing calmly spoke. After that, his voice revealed coldness.
“Also, I really hope that Yue Dong can become a Great Immortal Master. That way, I’ll have the satisfaction of personally killing her.”
The old man from the First Ruler Mountain narrowed his eyes. After carefully sizing up Xu Qing a few times, he suddenly spoke.
“If I still insist, what will you do?”
When Xu Qing heard this, his expression didn’t change at all.
“You can try.”
As the three words spread out, an oppressive atmosphere instantly formed. Two storms vaguely spread out from Xu Qing and the old man from the First Ruler Mountain, coming into contact with each other.
However, it was obvious that Xue Chenzi’s deeds in the West Demon Feather had spread widely, especially with the death of the West Demon Child which had shocked many.
Hence, in the face of Xu Qing’s domineeringness, even the old man from the First Ruler Mountain felt waves in his heart.
In the cauldron, the heart of the Immortal Arts Hall’s Great Elder also fluctuated.
He had checked many times before and even destroyed Yue Dong’s meridians, drained her blood, and set up many restrictions to ensure that nothing went wrong.
However, he didn’t expect that at the last moment, the other party would use this bizarre way to teleport him into the cauldron, turning him into a situation where he was refined together.
He still had arrangements and had once communicated deeply with the First Ruler Mountain and obtained their support. He was also certain that the people outside would open the cauldron and save him very soon.
But he understood that being rescued and escaping on his own would require different costs to be paid in the future.
However, he was completely confident that he could escape.
This confidence was based on his understanding and control of this bone cauldron!
Although his authority over this cauldron wasn’t as high as the Great Immortal Master’s, he was confident that Yue Dong couldn’t compare to him in terms of understanding or exploring it.
According to the rules of the Immortal Arts Hall, only the Great Immortal Master and the Great Elder were qualified to use this cauldron.
Now that the Great Immortal Master had died, as the Great Elder, he was naturally filled with confidence.
“Yue Dong, you don’t understand this cauldron at all. From the moment you entered this place, your outcome was already decided.”
“So, all your schemes are meaningless.”
The Great Elder calmly spoke and performed a series of hand seals. Immediately, the cauldron trembled.
After that, his body swayed and he headed straight up. As he performed a series of hand seals, he activated a specific immortal art to control the cauldron, wanting to seep out of the cauldron.
The cauldron shook even more intensely and was controlled by the Great Elder’s authority. A blurry intent appeared above and it looked like he was about to escape.
However, at this moment, Yue Dong, who only had her head left, revealed a mocking smile.
“I don’t understand this cauldron?”
“Die!”
Erniu roared.
In an instant, the vortex above the cauldron disappeared and countless flesh emerged out of nowhere, spreading in all directions. They completely fused the lid and the body of the cauldron together.
Moreover, they seemed to come from the same source and were inseparable.
No matter how the Great Elder circulated his control over the cauldron, it was useless. It was as though his control… had become a decoration!
The Great Elder was instantly bewildered. Previously, when he was sucked here, there were only waves in his heart. However, now the waves had become so chaotic that it could be described as a stormy sea.
“How is this possible! You’re not Yue Dong. Yue Dong can’t do this. You… Who are you?!”
Erniu laughed sinisterly.
“What’s impossible?”
“The material of this cauldron originally belonged to me!”
“As for who I am, I already told you that I was the one who refined this cauldron. Who do you think I am?”
Erniu’s head floated up with a proud expression.
He sighed with emotion in his heart and recalled the scene of him, his master, and Xu Qing seeing the statue of the Immortal Art Great Emperor in the pavilion below Fenghai County.
‘At that time, the old man asked me to pay my respects to this Immortal Art Great Emperor. I bow to that geezer? I will bow to anyone but him!’
‘It’s this damned Great Emperor who used my third life’s body to refine the cauldron back then.’
‘That was my third life!’
‘At that time, I was still very innocent and didn’t know how sinister the human heart was. Didn’t I just borrow some treasures from the various races? Didn’t I just want to borrow the crown from Mystic Nether to play with? It’s nothing much. Even Mystic Nether didn’t say anything, but this damned Great Emperor actually killed me.’
It’s fine if he beat me to death, but he even refined my corpse into a cauldron. The worst thing is that he even embedded my skull on it. He went too far!’ ‘Fortunately, I saw this cauldron from Yue Dong’s memories. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t be able to find my pitiful and innocent third-life’s skeleton in my entire life.’
Erniu gritted his teeth and shouted inwardly..
