Chapter 127 A Monumental Lie

Gongsun Jin frowned: "Does the Immortal Venerable know what he is saying!"

The voice in my mind said in a deep voice, "I only misspoke for a moment, why do you have to take it so seriously? I have no use for that Green Mountain White Jade Vine. You brought it up, so naturally I will still make you take it!"

Gongsun Jin sneered: "Whether it was a slip of the tongue or not, the Immortal Venerable knows best in his heart. Why don't you tell me that you're afraid Jiang Yan will obtain the Green Mountain White Jade Vine, completely repair her spiritual root, and gain that supreme energy! If she uses this power to patch up the loopholes in the Heavenly Court, that's fine, but if she's not willing to sacrifice herself for you, it will be a great calamity for the Heavenly Court! The Heavenly Court can't afford to take such a big risk, and the Immortal Venerable can't afford to take it either. That's why you asked me to stay by her side, just to wait for this moment to arrive."

The Immortal Venerable roared, "Gongsun Jin, you are utterly audacious! How dare you presume to guess my thoughts! Have you forgotten your place?!"

"There is no such thing as the 'Heavenly Heart Glazed Lamp' in this world; it is nothing but a colossal lie meticulously woven by the Heavenly Court! You use this illusory bait to watch people fight endlessly like ants! To cover up your inner fears and defend your worthless Heavenly Court's dignity!" Gongsun Jin said, then surprisingly calmly added, "Now that she has won this contest, the Green Mountain White Jade Vine should naturally be disposed of by her own discretion!"

The voice in his mind roared in fury: "Gongsun Jin, you have defied the will of Heaven and will suffer the backlash of Heaven! Her punishment of a hundred lifetimes is a warning to you!"

Gongsun Jin sneered and flew towards the figure on the arena: "If this Heavenly Dao is inherently demonic, then I will sacrifice myself to illuminate this bottomless abyss!"

"Your rebellious behavior will surely make you suffer endless torment and taste all the hardships of the world!"

...

On the arena, apart from the demonic cultivator, people from various sects also swarmed up.

With the green mountains and white jade vines right before their eyes, who could stand by and watch their prized possession be snatched away by someone else!

When faced with the ultimate benefit, humanity becomes insignificant. Those self-proclaimed upright youths of the past now reveal their utter greed.

At this moment, Feng Qingyu, Dongfang Chen, and the others were surrounded by those people.

Among the demonic cultivators, there was a figure familiar to Jiang Yan: Yu Heng! She never expected him to choose this path from which there was no return!

Jiang Yan is currently locked in a fierce battle with the Thousand-Faced Demon Cultivator. She is now on the verge of ascension. Although she has not yet ascended, her strength has already recovered to more than 90% of what it once was.

Nevertheless, her opponent was still stronger than her.

In a moment of distraction, Jiang Yan suddenly felt that the spiritual power of the person opposite her seemed to have increased again!

She suddenly realized, could this be his true form?

Why is there a trace of...familiar aura from my memories within him?!

Before Jiang Yan could figure it out, the person opposite suddenly unleashed a powerful attack. Wherever the palm wind passed, it stirred up a huge wave, instantly knocking down the disciples of various sects who were nearby!

A chorus of wails filled the air!

Even Feng Qingyu and Shen Yuchen, who were standing next to Jiang Yan, couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

As Jiang Yan staggered, she felt her body being forcibly pulled towards her by a force!

At the critical moment, a white light flashed.

Gongsun Jin unleashed a fierce palm strike, calling out in a deep voice, "Jiang Yan! I'm here to help you!"

The instant their eyes met, he transformed into a beam of white light and entered her body!

With the help of Gongsun Jin, Jiang Yan managed to steady herself, then flew away with her long sword in hand!

However, before her sword could even get close to the demonic cultivator, it was shattered into pieces by his palm strike. Those fragments quickly transformed into sharp blades, hurtling towards her.

Jiang Yan frowned and quickly conjured a leaf, which she then threw at the fragments!

"puff"!

She was eventually cut on the shoulder by the shards and staggered backward.

The demonic cultivator once again used his spiritual power to draw her in. He grabbed her by the neck and said, "Since you are unwilling to die for the Heavenly Dao, then die by my hand! I will use your spiritual power to build my path to eternal life!"

"Jiang Yan!"

"Jiang Yan!"

Familiar figures echoed around her, and Jiang Yan felt as if her strength was being drained from her body.

She squinted and said, "A dignified Immortal Venerable, is this how shameless you are?!"

A look of shock flashed across the person's eyes: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Jiang Yan felt her spiritual energy flowing out of her body more and more uncontrollably, and the hand on her neck was tightening, her expression pained.

Not only her, but the power of both the coal ball and Gongsun Jin within her body was rapidly being lost.

Dongfang Chen and Feng Qingyu were still entangled with those people and couldn't get away.

"Immortal Venerable, are you still the same as before? If you can't win, you'll kill to silence me?! Why didn't you wait until I obtained the Green Mountain White Jade Vine and consumed it to fully restore my spiritual power before trying to seize it?! Victory was clearly in sight, yet you're afraid? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that once I fully restore my spiritual root and awaken that last bit of power, I will no longer be your match?!"

"You're really asking for it!"

The demonic cultivator opposite her frowned, intending to completely absorb the power from her body.

At the critical moment, Gongsun Jin, together with Meiqiu, awakened the remaining power within Jiang Yan and attacked the person in front of her with a palm strike!

Although the man staggered a step, he did not loosen his grip even slightly, which only further enraged him!

Jiang Yan felt short of breath, and her consciousness began to blur.

Gongsun Jian and Mei Qiu's powers were also completely restrained.

Suddenly, a flash of light streaked through the air. Xuanming had dealt with the demon and Yuheng who were fighting with him, and then flashed in front of Jiang Yan, striking the demon king in front of him with a palm strike!

Then, seizing the opportunity, he thrust his sword forward and instantly rescued Jiang Yan from his grasp!

At the same time, several figures suddenly descended from the sky.

Lin Yun's excited voice rang out from not far away: "Grandmother, Grandpa Wangyou!"

Jiang Yan was quickly shielded behind a woman in flowing white robes. The familiar aura emanating from her made her instinctively ask, "Master Moxu? What brings you here? Weren't you in seclusion?"

The man turned to look at her, then reached out and affectionately stroked her cheek: "I foresaw this calamity for you, so naturally I came to help! It's my fault for being late."

Mo Xu smiled and quickly joined the battle with his ancestral grandmother: "Immortal Venerable Du Chen, do you know that you are stirring up trouble? Aren't you afraid that he will cast you into the animal realm and never be reincarnated!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the group simultaneously unleashed a golden talisman, attempting to trap the person in front of them.

However, Du Chen merely sneered, and then, with a wave of his hand, he absorbed all the inner cores of the surrounding cultivators and demons into his own body, his entire body radiating light.

His power expanded several times in an instant, and he instantly transformed into his true form, becoming a giant crane!

"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourselves!"

As he finished speaking, he flapped his wings with all his might, sending Wangyou and the others flying several meters away! The disciples of the sects below the stage lost all their internal energy in an instant, and cries of agony filled the air!

He swiftly transformed into human form and seized Jiang Yan once more: "A bunch of good-for-nothings, how dare you challenge me! After I deal with you, I will be the one to write history! Right and wrong will be decided by me!"

"Immortal Venerable...why are you so stubbornly persistent!" Gongsun Jin spoke to Jiang Yan through their divine sense: "If you turn back now, there is still a chance!"

"What wrong have I done! I am the Great Celestial Venerable! I am right whether I am right or wrong! Do you know why you have not been promoted for so long? It is all because of your inflexible nature! Since you are so ungrateful, you will accompany this flower cultivator to mend the heavens today. At that time, I will make a record of you in the Heavenly History, which will also fulfill your destiny as a couple!"
