"My fellow Taoist, my ancestor came to welcome you in such a grand manner, hoping to turn hostility into friendship and forget grudges with a smile. I hope you will show some mercy."

Someone else came out to persuade him.

Seeing this, the others echoed.

They are subordinates of Patriarch Xuanming. Seeing that their boss is unwilling to intensify the conflict, they naturally come out to mediate.

Facing everyone's concession and forbearance, Gu Qingfeng revealed a sinister smile.

Today he wants to teach everyone a good lesson about what it means to be patient for a while and then things will get worse, but to take a step back and you will fall into a bottomless abyss.

In the face of evil forces, blindly tolerating them will only lead to an irretrievable situation.

"I have already sensed your sincerity. Since you want to make peace, then I am not an unreasonable person. I have already apologized, so it is time to make amends, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the heart of Xuanming Patriarch was relieved. Facing an unknown enemy, it is better to seek peace. Isn't it just an apology? His Xuanming Fairyland doesn't have much, but a lot of money.

So he smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Someone, bring up the gift."

A subordinate hurriedly and respectfully presented a Qiankun Ring.

Gu Qingfeng took the ring, examined it briefly, and found that it was filled with mountains of fairy jade and piles of natural treasures.

"Not enough." He said lightly.

Ancestor Xuanming's expression changed slightly and he clapped his hands again. Immediately, someone handed him another Qiankun Ring.

This time, Gu Qingfeng didn't even look at it, and said directly: "Not enough."

The face of Patriarch Xuanming suddenly turned ugly. He waved his hand and someone handed him another Qiankun Ring.

“It’s still not enough.”

The Xuanming Patriarch forced a smile and said, "Daoyou, name a price."

"all."

"all!?"

Ancestor Xuanming's eyebrows jumped, and the others also looked angry.

"Does Daoist Fellow mean that you want the entire Xuanming Immortal City?"

"good."

“Hahaha…” The Xuanming Patriarch suddenly laughed out of anger: “Boy, don’t be too greedy.”

“Alas.” Gu Qingfeng sighed slightly, “This emperor is merciful for once, and wants you to exchange money for your lives, but I gave you the chance, but you are useless! In this case, the emperor will have to kill you first, and then plunder Xuanming Immortal City.”

"Form a formation!"

When Patriarch Xuanming saw that they could not reach an agreement, he gave an order to take the initiative.

I saw those men scattered in all directions, forming an encirclement to surround Gu Qingfeng. Brilliant fairy light burst out from each of them, and they attacked towards the void one by one.

Boom!

Xuanming Immortal City suddenly let out a roar like an earthquake.

Countless densely packed runes spread on the ground, connecting into pieces to form a forbidden formation. When all the runes gathered in the center of the city, a terrifying cold light suddenly appeared and shot straight into the sky.

In the cold light that shot up into the sky, a shadow slowly appeared and rose slowly from the ground.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the entire Xuanming Immortal City roared, and the light of the forbidden formation fell like rain.

An unimaginable terrifying divine power spread out, along with it waves of cold air that seemed to freeze even the space.

All of this was released from that shadow.

When the cold light faded, the shadow slowly solidified, and everyone finally saw its true face, which was actually an enormous stone statue of a Xuanming turtle!

The tortoise shell blocks out the sun, and its four legs are like four pillars of heaven, standing upright.

It was completely different in size from the one Gu Qingfeng had seen before.

Seeing the stone statue appear, Patriarch Xuanming revealed a smug smile on his face, and then he flew onto the stone statue of Xuanming Turtle.

He made a hand gesture and an obscure and mysterious aura emerged. He slapped his hands hard on the tortoise shell.

Boom——!

A cold light visible to the naked eye covered the entire stone statue, and after a moment, the statue came to life!

The stone statue was completely transformed into a vivid giant Xuanming Turtle. The terrifying power emanated from it, giving people the feeling that it was infinitely close to the Immortal King!

In fact, Patriarch Xuanming had already prepared for the possibility that the negotiations would fail. After so many years, the ability to be prepared for both scenarios was already ingrained in his bones.

This gigantic stone statue of the Xuanming Turtle is his trump card, the result of his endless years of hard work.

Most of the money he earned over the years was invested in this Xuanming Turtle, which he built using countless rare materials.

Facing Gu Qingfeng who possessed seven Immortal King weapons, he used his trump card right from the start.

This has always been his style, using courtesy before force. Once negotiations fail, he will launch a thundering attack without giving the opponent any chance to breathe.

"Boy, I have given you a chance, but since you don't appreciate it, then die! Even if you have seven Immortal King weapons, it doesn't matter. This Mysterious Nether Turtle Stone Statue has been refined for countless years and has long been a spirit. Although it cannot control the laws and mysteries like an Immortal King, it is as heavy as a billion pounds and the destructive power it can cause is no weaker than that of an Immortal King!"

"Oh? Is this the courage you have to reject me?" Gu Qingfeng said lightly, not taking the huge Xuanming Turtle seriously at all.

Xuan Ming Patriarch sneered: "You still dare to be stubborn when death is imminent. Prepare to die!"

The Xuanming Turtle suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a bright cold light condensed from its mouth, and the surrounding void froze instantly.

boom!

A terrifying cold light spewed out, that was the power of the Xuanming Law.

The cold light was like a beam of light, hitting Gu Qingfeng hard.

The people present seemed to have anticipated Gu Qingfeng's miserable condition, but the reality was...

Gu Qingfeng was unharmed. Not only that, he was even walking forward leisurely in the cold light.

"This is impossible!" Patriarch Xuanming was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

A blow comparable to that of an Immortal King couldn't shake him at all! ?

The onlookers were also collectively petrified, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.

What shocked them was not that Gu Qingfeng was able to block the attack, but that Gu Qingfeng blocked the attack without even using the Immortal King's weapons!

Patriarch Xuanming panicked all of a sudden. He had thought about many things in his mind. Maybe Gu Qingfeng had some trump card and could use the seven immortal king weapons to block his attack. The two sides might have to fight back and forth, and finally he would rely on his profound cultivation and powerful magic power to drag the opponent to death.

But this item is absolutely not included in any of the assumptions.

"You... who are you?" said the Xuanming Patriarch in panic.

Gu Qingfeng, who was still walking forward in the cold light, said calmly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is why you insist on refining the stone statue into a spirit?"

That’s right, the stone statue of the Xuanming Turtle was refined into a spirit by the Xuanming Ancestor and became his family member.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s not refined into essence, it just takes more effort.

The Xuanming Patriarch's eyes were filled with rage: "You must have some cold-attributed treasure hidden on you, so you are not afraid of the Xuanming Law. If that's the case, then this ancestor will crush you with a force of billions of kilotons!"

He immediately controlled the Xuanming Turtle to raise its pillar-like foot and stomped hard at Gu Qingfeng.
