Gu Liyan himself didn't actually know the ins and outs of the matter, but as the smartest and most cunning fox in the world, he could easily make up a story to uncover the truth!
Now, all he needs to do is seize the initiative and wait for Cangmu to make his move!
“Gu Liyan, you…” Cang Mu was really angry. Those people selected in the grand election were not enslaved, nor were they subjected to any inhuman coercion. Instead, they were all brainwashed into becoming true members of the Heavenly Palace!
As for those who refused to accept it, although there were many of them, they were not killed. Instead, they were banished and thrown into the Mirror of Reincarnation, so that they could be reincarnated!
But how could he possibly bring this up? Even if he did, those foolish people wouldn't easily accept it, much less believe him!
Cang Mu's furious eyes seemed to spit flames as he stared intently at Gu Liyan. This fox demon was clearly forcing him!
Seeing that Cangmu had lost his composure due to hatred, Tianqi hurriedly stepped forward and loudly proclaimed:
"Everyone, do not doubt! Presumably, because the Ancient Sage has just become the Chosen One, he harbors some resentment towards our Heavenly Palace, which is why he speaks with distrust. In fact, our Heavenly Palace has already secretly sent back the Chosen Ones selected in each election!"
Upon hearing Tianqi's words, Gu Liyan raised his head and frowned as he looked at Tianqi. At this moment, he really did not expect that Tianqi would stand up to speak for Cangmu. As for whether what he said was true or false, Gu Liyan felt that there was no need to confirm it anymore!
However, some people are now asking a question with skepticism:
"You said you'd send them back, but we've never seen them. And their relatives have never mentioned them either."
Apocalypse smiled slightly, "The chosen ones of each year will return to your side as Heavenly Guardians the following year, it's just that some of you haven't noticed!"
Gu Liyan's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously looked at Tianqi. How could he have almost forgotten that among his friends was someone he had almost harmed—Jin Yi!
Gu Liyan subconsciously clenched his fist and looked at Tianqi. This guy was clearly warning him that he still had hostages in his hands!
Gu Liyan clenched his fists, never expecting to be tricked again!
Hearing that Tianqi had come to the rescue in time, Cang Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Gu Liyan's unwilling expression, he felt particularly satisfied!
He immediately thought to himself: After I've used you, I'll send you to the cycle of reincarnation, so that you'll suffer torment for all eternity!
Cang Mu sneered with a smug look, "I think Gu Liyan, you have some misunderstanding about us, don't you?"
Gu Liyan narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Tianqi, remaining silent for a long time.
Tianqi simply smiled faintly, completely ignoring Gu Liyan's threatening gaze.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. As for who the ultimate oriole will be, until the moment of life and death, none of them know!
Tianqi looked at Gu Liyan and smiled wickedly, thinking to himself, "Gu Liyan, even if you are the strongest, don't be too arrogant, otherwise you will be the first person in the world who cannot tolerate you!"
Cang Mu smiled and said, "Since you have been questioned by those in the election, then from today onwards, I, Cang Mu, as the highest authority of Tianfu, will hereby announce the Heavenly Dao that Tianfu has long pursued! I will open up a new path of cultivation for all of you!"
At this point, Cang Mu glanced triumphantly at Gu Liyan. Gu Liyan met his gaze and unconsciously felt inexplicably nervous.
Immediately, Cang Mu's arrogant and domineering words echoed from above the clouds:
"There are countless seeds in this world that represent natural abilities, including the life force of nature and the death force of nature. The combination of these two natural seeds can form the energy channels of the life-and-death contract."
Cang Mu's lips curled up, and he looked at Gu Liyan with a smug expression.
Gu Liyan's heart tightened suddenly, and he subconsciously swallowed. If his life-and-death pact with An Qianbai were to be leaked, they would probably become the target of everyone's criticism!
Then, Cangmu shouted loudly:
"Anyone who possesses this energy will have the ability to live forever, to be immortal, and to live forever!"
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this:
"Does that mean our lifespans can be extended?"
"Hehe, it's more than just extending life. Didn't you hear what the divine being said? It's definitely immortality!"
Everyone started discussing it with great joy.
Gu Liyan's face was gloomy, and he was filled with indescribable bitterness.
What should he do?
The world loophole mentioned in the Nine Springs Realm mission should be the "demonic rumors" brought about by the Heavenly Palace descending upon this world as the Heavenly Palace!
This action is practically a call for all people to join Cangmu and his group in tearing the sky apart!
Are we to turn everyone into madmen who dream of living as long as the heavens? The heavens will not tolerate such audacious thoughts and will surely destroy everything they have! And this destruction will surely be nothing but annihilation!
Gu Liyan trembled at the thought. If everything in this world were destroyed, it would surely include An Qianbai. If that were the case…
Gu Liyan dared not think any further. Wouldn't all his previous promises and protection have been in vain?
No, he has to stop it! He must stop Cangmu!
Just then, Cangmu's voice reached everyone's ears again:
"Everyone! For so long, my Heavenly Palace has been here to create an opportunity for people to live as long as the heavens. That is why I descended to earth. Are you willing to follow my Heavenly Palace and become one of those who live as long as the heavens?"
As soon as the words were spoken, shouts erupted from the crowd:
"I am willing to follow Tianfu to the death!"
