The collision with Cang Jue's fist just now was not only unexpected by the monks in the imperial capital, but even Gu Zhi himself was surprised.

After using the Divine Stone of Life to elevate his life level, Gu Zhi felt that he should be able to compete with the powerful beings at the peak of tribulation.

Even when facing an old antique in the Ascension Period like Cang Jue, he can barely fight with the help of Qilin magic.

But the result...

How can this be considered as barely being able to fight?

He clearly crushed Cang Jue who was in the Ascension Stage!

"you……?"

Cang Jue, who had fallen into the dust, was so angry when he heard Gu Zhi's words that he vomited blood on the spot.

He thought, how could Gu Zhi not be aware of his strength? Now he was pretending to be surprised in front of him, which was clearly a mockery and humiliation of him.

"I what I?"

Gu Zhi withdrew his thoughts and cast a cold gaze on Cang Jue.

Still without further words, he directly covered it with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Cang Jue was seriously injured and could not resist at all. His soul was directly refined into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and his body was thrown into the furnace by Gu Zhi and sacrificed alive while it was still hot.

Although Cang Jue is very old and the vital energy in his body is not strong, he is an immortal king in the ascending period after all, and has a special physique!

The furnace of pain vibrated, and another bright red bond fell on Gu Zhi, making Gu Zhi even more terrifying. If the devil came, he would destroy the world.

While absorbing the essence of energy, Gu Zhi continued to kill towards the ancestral tomb of the Cang Gu Divine Dynasty.

Is there only one person with such profound background as Cang Jue? Gu Zhi thought it was impossible.

Originally, Gu Zhi had prepared a secret weapon for such a profound figure——

Tianhuang Demonic Halberd!

This is the Taoist weapon of Demon Lord Tianhuang, but it was broken and the Taoist patterns inside were erased.

Later, Gu Zhi obtained it, awakened its spirit, and learned how to repair it.

Gu Zhi nurtured the Tianhuang Demonic Halberd day and night, and finally repaired it.

When the Wanxue Demon Sect was conquering the Miaoyu Demon Sect and the Immortal Demon Sect, Gu Zhi nurtured the Tianhuang Demon Halberd until it could initially display its demonic power, and gave the Tianhuang Demon Halberd to Ye Qinghan for use.

Later, Gu Zhi made rapid progress, and the repair speed of the Tianhuang Demon Halberd also increased. Although it has not yet reached perfection and cannot show its peak power, it is still very easy for Gu Zhi to kill the immortal king in the early stage of ascension with the Tianhuang Demon Halberd in his hand.

But that was an earlier estimate.

Now...

Gu Zhi estimated that if he held the Tianhuang Demon Halberd and gave it his all, even an immortal king who had ascended to the fourth or fifth level would have a chance to fight him.

Because of this, Gu Zhi no longer needs to use the Tianhuang Demonic Halberd.

These old men from the Cang Gu Divine Dynasty were not qualified to allow him to use this killing weapon.

Gu Zhi ascended the ancestral tomb of the Cang Gu Divine Dynasty. As expected, three old antiques flew out, surrounded him, and launched a fierce attack on him, trying to kill him.

"Can you do it? Can you do it this time?"

The monks in the imperial capital looked eagerly at the three old antiques in the Ascension Period and placed high hopes on them.

There is no way, this is their last hope!

However……

It didn't take too long.

The three old antiques in the Ascension Period were beaten to pieces by Gu Zhi!

Although this time, Gu Zhi also had blood on his body and seemed to have been seriously injured, but...

Gu Zhi still has fighting power and is quite strong!

"Is our Cang Gu Divine Dynasty so rubbish?"

"Four immortal monarchs in the Ascension Stage were killed by Gu Zhi alone!"

"One against four, and with the cultivation base of the third level of Crossing Tribulation, he defeated four Immortal Lords in the Ascension Stage, and succeeded?"

"The key point is that although Gu Zhi was injured, he was not forced into a desperate situation. He fought one against four quite smoothly!"

Everyone in the imperial capital was trembling with fear, their faces completely ashen.

Without the immortal king in the ascending stage, who can stop Gu Zhi?

Who can they wait for to save them?

No one can stop Gu Zhi!

Because Gu Zhi was not actually injured.

Gu Zhi seemed to be seriously injured, but he was actually acting.

Gu Zhi wanted to try to lure out other inheritors of the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art".

But the result disappointed Gu Zhi, no such person appeared.

Gu Zhi could only enter the ancestral tomb of the Divine Dynasty and loot the entire tomb.

Of course, he encountered obstacles along the way, but Gu Zhi finally succeeded in breaking through all the blockers.

In the ancestral tomb, the remains containing the original substance of special physical properties, as well as some fairy gold, treasures, powerful magic tools, and Taoist soldiers were all taken into Gu Zhi's pocket.

"Robbers! They won't leave anything behind!"

Some members of the royal family who were not in the palace and escaped the disaster cried out in grief, their eyes red.

The next moment, he was struck by lightning because he was targeted by Gu Zhi.

It didn't even take a moment. With just a glance from Gu Zhi, these royal family members were refined and became nutrients for Gu Zhi.

After killing his way through the imperial capital of the Cang Gu Divine Dynasty, Gu Zhi did not stop and continued to lead his men towards the Qingxu Holy Land.

After Gu Zhi left, the once bustling and prosperous imperial capital was now in ruins, like a hell on earth.

Some strong men watched from afar and found it shocking.

“How hateful!”

Soon, the news spread throughout the Southern Wilderness.

Some righteous monks were indignant, thinking that Gu Zhi was too cruel, wrathful to heaven and man, and must be eradicated!

However, another group of righteous monks immediately stood up and said:

"Who said that Fellow Daoist Gu Zhi is cruel? He is really spreading rumors to confuse the public!"

"Do you know what the imperial capital of the Cang Gu Divine Dynasty is like? The royal family, the officials, the famous families... these are all blood-sucking insects. They are high and mighty all day long, looking down on the common people, yet they want to squeeze value from them. This group of people is hateful!"

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Gu Zhi slaughtered his way through the imperial capital today and wiped out all these people. Is this doing evil? This is clearly saving the suffering people!"

"The inner treasury burned to ashes, and the nobles' bones were crushed on the streets! Fellow Daoist Gu Zhi, you are a role model for our generation!"

"I'll be angry with anyone who demonizes Fellow Daoist Gu Zhi!"

Among these righteous monks who spoke for Gu Zhi, there were young prodigies who had recently risen to prominence, veteran strongmen who had been famous for a long time, and respected old antiques and living fossils.

They all supported Gu Zhi and refuted those righteous monks who condemned Gu Zhi and claimed to eradicate him.

Those righteous monks who angrily scolded Gu Zhi were a little confused. They were confused for a moment and didn't know what was going on.

It would be fine if it was just one or two righteous monks speaking up for Gu Zhi, as they could understand that they were subdued by Gu Zhi through some means.

But so many righteous cultivators spoke up for Gu Zhi, and even many respected elders who usually spoke of benevolence and morality, unexpectedly spoke up for Gu Zhi, not mentioning Gu Zhi's faults at all, but instead praising his merits...

"Even if the royal family, the civil and military officials, and the members of the prominent families deserved to be killed, aren't there also ordinary people in the imperial capital? How innocent are they to die?"

Some people questioned the old veterans.

"Don't worry about it. Since Daoist Gu Zhi killed them, he must have his reasons."

These old veterans were vague in their explanation, but their attitude was very firm.

I just want to speak up for Gu Zhi!
