Obsidian felt increasingly familiar with the man in black robes as they fought, and immediately informed Chongjiu telepathically after he joined the battle.

This person seems to be someone I know; his moves have a familiar feel to me.

Chong Jiu simply nodded without saying anything, because he also felt it was somewhat familiar.

With the two of them together, the man in black robes was naturally no match for them and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, so he wanted to retreat.

Anyway, Wujiebie had already run away, so he didn't intend to kill them.

Obsidian had been watching his movements closely. When he saw him raise his hand, he immediately pulled Chong Jiu back a step. The man in black robes seized the opportunity and vanished in front of the two of them.

"Chase after them!" Chong Jiu immediately gave chase.

Obsidian's face darkened. He had been deceived, but he had also gained some confirmation: he knew the man in the black robe.

Fan Yin and Yama arrived just in time to come face to face with the man in black robes.

The three looked at each other, and finally Fan Yin took the initiative to attack the man in black robes.

Upon seeing this, Yan Huang immediately joined in, and did not forget to send a telepathic message to Chong Jiu, asking if this black-robed man was from Jie Wujie.

Upon receiving his telepathic message, Chongjiu immediately rushed over, followed closely by Heiyao.

Upon seeing the man in black robes, Obsidian immediately joined the fray, but after only one move, Obsidian frowned and retreated to Chong Jiu's side, saying, "We've been tricked."

This person was clearly not the one in black robes from before. Their techniques were different, and their cultivation levels were far apart. At most, their physical appearances were somewhat similar.

After observing for a while, Chongjiu said, "You stay here and keep watch. I'll go check somewhere else." Then he left.

Obsidian stared at the fake man in black robes, his brows furrowed tightly. Then, he slapped the fake man in black robes down with a palm, sending him crashing heavily against the mountain wall below.

"Fanyin, go and see who that person is."

Fan Yin nodded and stepped forward to pull off the hat and mask of the fake black-robed man. When she saw who was inside, Fan Yin's eyes narrowed. "The Cloud-Inlaid God Venerable."

Obsidian came to his side and looked at the calm and cloud-embroidered god, saying, "There are only two or three people in the entire upper god realm who can command you."

[Ajiu, this one over here is Xiangyun. That person's moves have changed, but I feel like they're from the Swamp Carriage style.]

With your current cultivation level, he can't hurt you, and you can't do anything to him. If you see him, send me a telepathic message.

"Hmm." Chong Jiu responded and continued chasing in the direction he had been pursuing.

Obsidian glanced at the Cloud-Inlaid God and said, "You two take him back to Chongyao Palace and deal with him after Ajiu returns."

Fan Yin looked at him and asked, "Don't you need our help over there?"

Obsidian shook his head and said, "His cultivation level is about the same as Ajiu's, so there's nothing you can do to help him."

"After sending him back, go look for Wujie; he's gone." Obsidian said before leaving.

Fan Yin and Yan Huang exchanged a glance, then bound Xiang Yun tightly and sent her back to Chongyao Palace.

At this moment, Rong Jin and Bai Jue were telling Shu Jianyue about the situation over there. When they saw them bring in Xiangyun Divine Lord, who was dressed in black robes, they assumed that the person in black robes was Xiangyun Divine Lord.

"Rong Jin, lock him up. We'll deal with him when A-Jiu returns. If he dares to escape, kill him without mercy," Fan Yin said, throwing Xiang Yun to the ground.

"Bai Jue, you come with me to find Wujie. Yan Huang, you stay here just in case."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Rong Jin immediately said, "I have already sent Hong Lang to chase after Wu Jie. He has sealed his cultivation now, so Hong Lang can handle him by himself."

Fan Yin stopped and said, "Send more people out to search."

Turning back to Xiangyun, Fanyin narrowed her eyes. "Why would you risk exposing yourself to save Wujie, a person whose cultivation has been sealed and who is now useless?"

"Either he has something they want, or Wujie has another identity."

As she spoke, Fan Yin walked to Xiang Yun's side and looked at him, "You agree, right, Venerable Xiang Yun?"

"You acted quite well before, and you hid it well. It's just not right to expose yourself for a useless Wujie."

"So, can you tell me what your purpose is, or rather, what the purpose of the person behind you is?"

Xiangyun glanced at him indifferently without saying a word.

Shu Jianyue looked at Xiangyun for a while, then looked at Fanyin and asked, "Is this the person who went to intercept Wujie?"

Fan Yin shook her head. "No, he helped that person escape, and then he got caught himself."

"Madam, don't worry, with Senior Obsidian here, Ajiu will be fine."

Shu Jianyue nodded, got up and walked over to Xiangyun, took out the God-Soothing Whip and lifted his chin, saying: "I'll give you two choices, one is to be annihilated, the other is to become a free mortal."

Xiangyun, who had remained expressionless and silent throughout, sneered, "What makes you think you can make me choose? Do you think you can keep your word?"

“You’re nothing more than an appendage of Chongjiu, so why should you make him change his mind?”

Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow at him, "As long as I mention it, Chong Jiu will listen to me. I am the future God Emperor, so what?"

"Want to know why I'm giving you these two choices?"

Xiangyun looked at her for a while before nodding.

Not only him, but also Fan Yin, Yan Huang, Rong Jin, and Bai Jue next to her were all looking at her with questioning expressions.

Shu Jianyue withdrew her whip and stood up. "Because I saw it."

"What did I see?" Xiangyun murmured.

“Of course it’s your weakness,” Shu Jianyue said with a smile.

This was the information the jade pendant, representing the God Emperor's identity, had given her. It seemed that the jade pendant would tell her anything she wanted to know.

At this moment, the jade pendant was already in her sea of ​​consciousness, standing in the very center and slowly rotating.

Shu Jianyue walked back to her original seat and sat down. "As long as you tell me who the other person is, I swear to heaven that I will keep my word and make you an ordinary person, living in the mortal world."

"Of course, if you want to die, I won't refuse. After all, it's easier to let you die than to make you a mortal."

Xiangyun lowered her head and remained silent, as if she were considering something.

Yan Huang walked up to Shu Jianyue and whispered, "Have you decided to become the God Emperor?"

Shu Jianyue glanced at him, realizing she had no choice but to accept it; the jade pendant had entered her sea of ​​consciousness and wouldn't come out.

Before she could answer the first question, Yama asked again, "Did you really see his weakness?"

Shu Jianyue nodded. "Otherwise, do you think I'm just trying to trick him into talking?"

Although Yan Huang spoke in a low voice, everyone present could hear him. Fan Yin's lips twitched as she asked, "Madam, how did you see his weakness?"

Xiangyun also looked up at Shu Jianyue.

Shu Jianyue's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "Use your mental power."

If you can't tell the truth, then you have to make up lies.

"Mental power?" Both Fan Yin and Yan Huang looked at her in surprise.

They all have mental strength, but they've never had this ability before.

"You don't need to make wild guesses. My mental power is different from yours. My mental power can extend for tens of thousands of kilometers. Can you do that?" Shu Jianyue's words were true.
