Xuanhuangtian, Taiyi Palace.

Wuji Jianzun brought Yin Sujun and Yin Jiuli out of the teleportation array and saw Taoist Xuanyang standing on one side of the square with Taining and Taichu.

"Fellow Daoist is here." Taoist Xuan Yang was delighted to see Wuji Sword Master and bowed hurriedly to greet him.

"Why don't you go in?" Wuji Sword Master asked after returning the greeting.

"The Taiyi Palace is a bit stuffy, I don't want to go in first."

Taoist Xuan Yang shook his head. He came so early mainly to meet Gao Xian, but he didn't expect Gao Xian hadn't arrived yet.

When Wuji Jianzun saw that Taoist Xuanyang had a sad face, she couldn't think of any words of comfort and could only sigh softly.

Two hundred years ago, Jiuzhou Ding notified all sects that there would be an important gathering today and all sect leaders had to attend.

She didn't know what was going on at the time. It was only a few years ago that she learned from Yin Jiuli that Gao Xian was going to duel with Dong Ji.

Wuji Jianzun naturally knew Dongji Tianjun, and she also knew that behind Dongji Tianjun was Xuanming Tianzun. She could now understand Xuanyang Laodao.

All the major sects in Jiuzhou, except the Dragon Elephant Palace, have some connection with Xuanming Tianzun. Among them, Xuanming Sect is the direct descendant of Xuanming Tianzun.

As the leader of Xuanming Sect, Taoist Xuanyang is the direct descendant of Xuanming Mingzun. However, Gaoxian, one of his disciples, dueled with Dongji, which made Xuanyang extremely embarrassed.

"I heard that Tianzun will come in person to watch the battle this time?" Wuji Jianzun knew that this topic was very embarrassing, but she still couldn't help asking.

"I don't know either." Taoist Xuan Yang also sighed. Although he was the direct descendant of Xuan Ming Tian Zun, he had never seen this Tian Zun.

The difference in seniority between the two sides was too great. He was thrown into Jiuzhou and could only waste time on the sixth-level Pure Yang.

If Shaoyang hadn't died, Shaoyang and Xuanming Tianzun would still be able to talk to each other.

When Taoist Xuanyang learned about Shaoyang's death, he guessed that it was Gao Xian who did it, and he was quite happy at the time. Shaoyang was insidious and his methods were dirty. That's why he robbed him of his opportunity.

But he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, forcing Dongji to come and settle the account, and even Xuanming Tianzun showed up.

Taoist Xuan Yang certainly respected the founder of the sect, but he had no feelings for him. After all, he had never seen him. To him, Xuan Ming Tian Zun was just a statue to be worshipped.

He had never met Dongji Tianjun, so he couldn't say whether he liked him or not.

At this moment, the old Taoist was worried about Gao Xian and this duel. Even if Gao Xian won, there was still Xuan Ming Tian Zun, so how would it end?

He was of low rank and his words were not taken seriously, so he had no right to speak. No one would listen to him.

In comparison, the embarrassment of being caught in the middle is nothing.

The relationship between Taoist Xuanyang and Wuji Jianzun can’t be said to be very good, but they are both very supportive of Gao Xian and can be considered as a group.

Under the current circumstances, Taoist Xuanyang still hopes to discuss the matter with Wuji Sword Master.

It was fine if it wasn't their turn to speak, but if they really wanted to express their opinions, they had to have a tacit understanding. But in front of Taiyi Palace, they couldn't say it openly, and could only say something bland.

Wuji Jianzun also understood what Taoist Xuanyang meant. She said, "Don't worry, Taoist friend. I know how to choose."

With Wuji Sword Master's words, Taoist Xuanyang felt relieved, and he also had a little more respect for Wuji Sword Master.

This time they are facing Xuan Ming Tian Zun. Although he is not as good as Jiuzhou Ding, he is a human cultivator and has close relations with all the sects in Jiuzhou.

Supporting Gao Xian at this time is equivalent to going against Xuan Ming Tian Zun.

Not everyone can bear the pressure of an eighth-level Heavenly Lord.

Wuji Jianzun said sternly: "I have seen clearly in the past two thousand years that only Gao Xian can protect Jiuzhou and our sect. To Tianjun and Tianzun, we are nothing but pawns."

This was too straightforward. Taoist Xuan Yang's face was also very solemn. He was silent for a while before nodding and sighing, "Unfortunately, Chang Zhen and Tian Zhu don't think so. Jiu Yin likes to waver in the middle, and he is unreliable... Dao Hong respects his teacher the most, I'm afraid he won't disobey Tian Zun's order..."

Wuji Sword Master was also silent. Gao Xian's cultivation was now the best in the Nine Continents, and his reputation and status were also the best in the Nine Continents, unmatched by anyone.

However, Gao Xian still couldn't truly control the situation in Jiuzhou.

This is also determined by the Taiyi Hall's deliberative system.

The teleportation array in the square flashed with light, and the Joy Sect's Nine Yin Dou Zun arrived with Xiao Jinse and Xiao Lingqin.

Tianzhu of Shenyue Sect, Changzhen of Dazizai Sect, and Huikong of Longxiang Palace also arrived soon.

The six Taoist masters were talking in the square and none of them wanted to enter the Taiyi Palace first.

No matter what the Dao Masters thought of Gao Xian, they all appeared to care about him on the surface and were biased towards him in their words.

The main reason is that Gao Xian has been very restrained over the past thousand years and has not interfered in the affairs of various sects.

Gao Xian also actively fought against the demons that invaded Jiuzhou and maintained the stability of Jiuzhou.

It’s just that the high-ranking sages gave too many benefits to the low-level practitioners, causing the number of low-level practitioners to increase dramatically.

Because there are too many low-level cultivators who will occupy a large amount of spiritual resources.

It is not obvious in the short term, but with the increasing number of low-level practitioners, this is actually a big problem in the long run.

The world is changing suddenly, and a catastrophe has occurred. No one can tell what the future will be like.

Although the Dao Masters of Jiuzhou were worried about the future, they attached more importance to the role of Gaoxian. With Gaoxian, Jiuzhou could be protected, which was too important to them.

Therefore, even if this matter involves Xuan Ming Tian Zun, the Taoist masters still prefer Gao Xian.

Of course, this is just private discussion.

Taoist Xuan Yang sighed in his heart. When he really wanted to oppose Xuan Ming Tian Zun, he didn't know how many people would stand up. Even he himself was a little hesitant. Opposing the founder of the sect was too treasonous! Did he really dare to do this? The teleportation light in the square shone again, and several Taoist masters stopped communicating. They all looked towards the center of the square.

When the spiritual light dissipated, everyone saw Dongji Tianjun, Daohong Daozun, and Zhizhen Daozun.

These three were standing at the back. There was a man and a woman standing in the front. The man was extremely handsome, wearing a purple and gold crown and a black and red robe, and was very graceful.

In terms of demeanor and bearing, this man is very similar to Gao Xian, but there is a kind of superiority and majesty in this man's golden eyes, which cannot be concealed by his chic and elegant demeanor.

The other pretty girl, dressed in gorgeous and graceful clothes, had bright blue eyes that were unusually lively and full of energy, but she pouted slightly, acting like an old-fashioned and arrogant person.

Even if you Taoist masters have never seen Xuan Ming Tian Zun, you have seen this statue. Although there is a big difference between the two, the charm between their eyebrows and eyes is the same.

Besides, figures like Daohong and Dongji are standing behind him, so this person must be Xuanming Tianzun without a doubt.

Dao Hong took the initiative to raise his voice and said, "Fellow Daoists, why don't you come over and pay your respects to the Heavenly Venerable?"

Dao masters such as Xuan Yang hurried over and bowed their heads respectfully, calling themselves disciples or juniors.

"No need to be polite."

Xuan Ming Tian Zun smiled and held out his hand to support you, "Today I am only here to fulfill Senior Jin's appointment, please don't be restrained."

Xuan Ming Tian Zun's gaze stopped at Taoist Xuan Yang. He smiled and said, "Xuan Yang, you have guarded the sect in Jiuzhou for 20,000 years, and cultivated a peerless talent like Gao Xian. You have worked hard and made great contributions. You deserve a reward."

“Uh…” Taoist Xuanyang is usually very casual and doesn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of his own master.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

The Heavenly Venerable praised him in front of all the Pure Yang Daoists, which made him even more nervous. Wasn't the Heavenly Venerable speaking in a sarcastic way?

The old Taoist changed his mind and thought that a dignified Heavenly Lord would not be as weird as Gao Xian!

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I failed to teach my disciples properly, which caused so many problems. It's all my fault."

"If Gao Xianzhen has done anything wrong, I am willing to take full responsibility."

Xuan Ming Tian Zun laughed loudly. He reached out and patted Taoist Xuan Yang on the shoulder in a friendly manner, "You are a good child."

The Heavenly Venerable turned and looked at Daohong and Zhizhen. He sighed and said, "Not only is Gaoxian good at killing and fighting, but he can also win people's hearts. You guys are all willing to work for him. He is really capable!"

He pointed at Dongji Tianjun and chuckled, "See? Gao Xian is much better than you in both being a person and doing things."

Dongji Tianjun naturally didn't dare to say anything, but the bright girl couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, I'm here to guarantee your victory!"

Xuanming Tianzun did not say anything. He just turned and looked towards the center of the square, where a bright light was shining and three figures appeared.

The man in the lead was wearing white clothes and carrying a sword, and he had an extraordinary demeanor. It was Gao Xian.

Gao Xian also saw Xuanming Tianzun. Their eyes met. Xuanming Tianzun smiled and nodded. His attitude was gentle and somewhat friendly, without any hostility.

Even though this eighth-rank Heavenly Venerable had no hostility and did not deliberately stimulate his spiritual consciousness, the dark golden dragon shadow deep in Gao Xian's left eye was directly dissipated by the natural power of his gaze. His soul was under tremendous pressure, and the Broken Army Heavenly Evil Sword that protected his soul was almost activated.

“Amazing!”

Gao Xian knew that the Eighth Order was powerful, but facing the Eighth Order head-on still made him feel the extremely huge gap in strength between the two sides.

He suppressed the slight vibrations in his soul, controlled his fluctuating emotions, and bowed to the eighth-rank Heavenly Lord in an elegant and graceful manner.

"Disciple Gao Xian pays homage to the Heavenly Lord."

Xuanming Tianzun extended his hand to support him: "No need to be polite."

He had seen Gao Xian's appearance in various ways, but seeing Gao Xian in person gave him a different feeling.

Xuanming Tianzun also noticed that Gao Xian's cultivation was extremely high at this moment. Not only was his yang spirit condensed, but his physical body was also extremely strong.

In just two hundred years, Gao Xian's cultivation had reached the peak of the seventh level.

Having lived for more than 200,000 years, this was the first time he had seen such a genius. He was very pleased and said, "It is a blessing for our sect to have such a peerless figure among its disciples."

Everyone was surprised to see Xuanming Tianzun admire Gao Xian so much. As a great Tianzun, there was no need for him to put on a show for the younger generation.

The bright girl's eyes also sparkled. She exclaimed to Xuan Ming Tian Zun: "This boy is even more handsome than you!"

Xuan Ming Tian Zun ignored Lei Ting. He thought for a moment and said, "You and Dong Ji are both talented students of mine. How about you apologize to Dong Ji and write off all past grudges?"

Gao Xian was a little surprised. Xuanming Mingzun and Jiuzhou Ding were such great figures. The agreement they made could not be changed easily.

This person is actually willing to cancel the duel, which shows his sincerity.

The Dao Masters were very surprised. How could this matter be resolved in this way? They then showed joy. If this matter could be resolved in this way, it would be a great benefit to everyone.

Dongji Tianjun frowned deeply. With the help of Shenxiao Dutian Xuanlei Jinshu, he thought he would win. But he was unwilling to let Gao Xian go.

But since Tianzun had spoken, he couldn’t object in public.

Gao Xian bowed respectfully to Xuanming Tianzun and said solemnly, "Tianzun, I have a question I would like to ask you."

"you say."

"Tianzun, why should someone who did nothing wrong apologize?"

Xuan Ming Zun laughed in silence. He had already seen that Gao Xian was unwilling to accept mediation. But he was still a little surprised that he was so tough.

He thought for a moment and said, "Senior Jin said it well, it is hard to tell right from wrong..."

Gao Xian understood what Xuan Ming Tian Zun meant. Although he left the matter unsaid, he still gave him a chance to bow his head.

"Since we can't tell right from wrong, fellow Daoist Dongji and I will just fight to the death..."

The beautiful girl Lei Ting clapped her hands and cheered: "Heroic, this is what cultivators of my generation should be like!"

She turned to Xuan Ming Tian Zun and said with disdain: "You are old, and you have lost your sharpness!"
