Guan Yue shouted loudly, "Seniors, I, Guan Yue, have obtained the Source Energy of the Yongning Continent, and I have also tamed the Artifact Gold Sword. Additionally, I have acquired the Ultimate Light. However, I will not harm any of you, nor will I destroy the Mu Family formation. I will allow you to continue living here. Only Wood Old Ghost and Helian the Old Thief are different; they have wiped out countless lives at Snowy Luo Peak with a single strike, sending innumerable citizens to their deaths. This is something I cannot accept, so I will take their lives. As for the rest of you, as long as you do not oppose me, I will absolutely not make things difficult for you. I keep my word."
Guan Yue's words stunned some of the elders: Guan Yue actually obtained the Source of the Yongning Continent? And he possesses the Artifact Gold Sword? He continuously wields the Ultimate Light? Isn't that invincible? No wonder he could break formations with a single sword strike. How should we face him now? Should we still fight him? Can we trust what he says?
These old fellows were unwilling to enter the Upper Space simply to survive; their adventurous spirit had nearly vanished. They only thought about their own lives, weighing the pros and cons before deciding on their actions.
"Haha, this kid is scared," Helian the Old Thief immediately spoke up after hearing that Guan Yue would not let him go. "Otherwise, why would he say so much nonsense? He wants everyone to let him escape so he can deal with us all later. If we let him go now, our fate will be in his hands at any moment. How dangerous would that be? He would command us to do anything we do not want to do. Even if we live, we would be his dogs—worse than dogs. Is this the life everyone wants?"
Wood Old Ghost also knew that it was a fight to the death with Guan Yue, so he spoke up as well: "Guan Yue, you have some nerve to try to divide us. You are too naive; we are all seasoned veterans who have been through many battles and will not be deceived by you. Just because you possess the Source of the Yongning Continent does not mean you can control our lives and deaths. We have struggled for thousands of years to escape others' control; how could we allow you to control us?"
Guan Yue immediately retorted, "Well said! The Source of the Yongning Continent is indeed in my possession. Are you saying that you want to control us? You want to dictate our lives and deaths? It’s either me or you, right? If someone else controlled you, would you accept it? There is only one Source of the Yongning Continent; if it must be given to satisfy you, what would others think? Would they willingly submit to your control?"
Wood Old Ghost angrily replied, "My Mu Family has sheltered everyone from storms for thousands of years and has fully proven our integrity and selflessness."
Guan Yue quickly asked, "Selfless? Then may I ask: did everyone know about your secret excavation of the continent's source with Helian the Old Thief at Snowy Luo Peak? Wasn't that selfishness? To keep it a secret, did you brutally kill millions of lives at Snowy Luo Peak without leaving a single survivor? Is this how selfless you are?"
Guan Yue turned to everyone and said, "I can assure you that no one here knows what he and Helian the Old Thief did at Snowy Luo Peak. Surely no one here would act as inhumanely as they did by slaughtering innocent citizens. Therefore, they must die while everyone else can continue to thrive here until the right time comes. A year from now, I will enter Upper Space. By then, there will be nothing for everyone to worry about."
"Nonsense! You think you'll let us go?" Helian the Old Thief exclaimed anxiously as Guan Yue continued targeting him; his voice became shrill.
Nearly ten old fellows began to stir restlessly.
Guan Yue immediately shouted with all his might: "I declare that aside from Wood Old Ghost and Helian the Old Thief whom I intend to kill, if anyone dares to lay a hand on me, I will immediately break the Mu Family Formation and leave everyone without a place to hide. Don't blame me for being ruthless; this is what you forced me into."
Guan Yue's shout was like a thunderclap—its power was immense and overwhelming while carrying a tremendous Mental Attack force. Some weaker Little Ancestor Saints could barely stand upright. Even Wood Old Ghost and Helian the Old Thief turned pale and felt nauseous.
Those elders who were considering taking action began to hesitate; they feared that Guan Yue would break their formation. They were currently under his control.
Wood Old Ghost hoarsely shouted, "Everyone attack together! If at this moment each of you still thinks highly of yourselves and guards your strength, our Mu Family will destroy the great formation and ensure we all perish together."
The contradiction intensified. If they did not take action, the Mu Family would destroy the great formation; if they did take action, Guan Yue would immediately shatter it. The old fellows found themselves in a dilemma.
Guan Yue truly did not want to let these elders, who were enemies of the Heavenly Court, have anywhere to hide. Therefore, he stopped speaking and directly attacked Wood Old Ghost while simultaneously using his Spatial Lock.
To his surprise, he actually succeeded in locking down the space here. Although Wood Old Ghost fought desperately, he could not shake off the Spatial Lock that Guan Yue had established.
Guan Yue then used his Spatial Ability to separately lock down Helian the Old Thief and Wood Old Ghost. Now both old ghosts were frantically attacking within the locked space, but the Spatial Lock was incredibly solid, making it impossible for either of them to escape.
At this point, the situation had completely reversed. Originally, it was Wood Old Ghost who had come to capture Guan Yue, but now it was Guan Yue who had confined Wood Old Ghost! He had also trapped Helian the Old Thief.
Seeing that both Wood Old Ghost and Helian the Old Thief were unable to break free, Guan Yue felt greatly relieved. He had not expected his Spatial Power to be so formidable that it could trap two Great Deities at once!
He laughed happily and then said to the nearly twenty elders, "Is there anyone else who is unconvinced? Step forward and state your names; I will lock you all into this space as well to prevent any future outbursts."
The elders all turned their gazes toward Flower Girl. They realized that Guan Yue seemed to be lenient toward her, even disregarding the fact that she had attacked him with a Divine Level Seal. It seemed that only Flower Girl could quell this incident now.
Flower Girl also noticed that Guan Yue was protecting her at every turn, so she had not mentioned that she was also at Snowy Luo Peak earlier and was involved in digging up items. Perhaps it was because she had taught him that Yuli Huanfu Technique.
Now seeing everyone looking at her, she felt compelled to step forward. She spoke up, "Guan Yue, since it has come to this, I hope you can spare the lives of these two Great Deities. They have cultivated for many years, and achieving their level of power is no easy feat."
Guan Yue thought for a moment and replied to Flower Girl, "I can spare their lives, but they must leave here. I will suppress them beneath Snowy Luo Peak; what happens to them afterward is up to fate."
Hearing Guan Yue's words, everyone secretly shook their heads: Suppressing them beneath Snowy Luo Peak? Wasn't that asking for death? Once discovered by the Heavenly Court, they would be struck by lightning!
However, since Guan Yue had made a concession, no one dared to say anything further. After all, Guan Yue's Spatial Lock was a deadly suppression against them that left them powerless to resist!
Guan Yue waved his hands and surprisingly pulled both Wood Old Ghost and Helian the Old Thief into the Sky-Sealing Tower simultaneously. Then he shouted loudly, "Aren't you going to open the formation? Do you want me to destroy it?"
Seeing that Guan Yue kept his word, the elders quickly called for people to open the formation and let Guan Yue leave.
A gap opened in the Mu Family's great formation, allowing Guan Yue to exit. Before leaving, he loudly addressed all the Little Ancestor Saints and Great Deities present: "From now on, I will be in contact with Flower Girl; you all just need to follow her orders."
He vanished in an instant after speaking.
However, Guan Yue's words left everyone feeling indignant: Did he have the authority to designate the leader of our Holy Alliance? If it weren't for Flower Girl's consistent position at the forefront against the Enemy Command Center, many would suspect that she was in collusion with Guan Yue.
Nonetheless, after Wood Old Ghost left, the Holy Alliance indeed needed a leader, and it was acceptable for Flower Girl to temporarily take charge! Thus, it was decided that Flower Girl would preside over the Holy Alliance!
Guan Yue kept his word. He flashed to Snowy Luo Peak, reached down eight hundred meters underground, and was startled by his own action. Upon opening the underground cavern, he sensed that the Golden Jade was completely gone. Alarmed, he hurriedly searched Wood Old Ghost and Helian the Old Thief, discovering their Storage Rings. He forced them to open their rings and found a vast amount of Treasure and Vermilion Jade inside, far more than he possessed. Together, they were wealthier than entire nations!
Guan Yue's mood improved significantly. He collected Wood Old Ghost's and Helian the Old Thief's Storage Rings, leaving them helpless and merely staring in disbelief.
Then, with a single palm strike, Guan Yue sent Mu Family Old Ghost and Helian the Old Thief down to eight hundred meters underground. Using immense energy, he firmly restrained them and then employed Spatial Lock to secure them tightly underground.
Guan Yue thought to himself: Let these two Old Thieves guard the spirits of the countless lives they have taken here. May the souls of the millions find peace!
Afterward, he turned and flew away from Snowy Luo Peak towards Dragon Lake Academy.
Just as he took off, he heard Ouyang Shaohua and Lan Xuelei calling out. When Guan Yue looked back, he saw many people hurriedly approaching from behind him.
Seeing Ouyang Shaohua, Lan Xuelei, Jin Xi, Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, Wuma Xiangwei, Na Dong, and Na Xi following him closely made Guan Yue confused: When did they start following him?
Soon, Lan Xuelei appeared beside Guan Yue, followed by Ouyang Shaohua and Jin Xi. They looked at Guan Yue with smiles on their faces but didn’t rush to speak. Each one gazed at him as if he were a treasure. Guan Yue suddenly recalled his journey from adulthood to infancy; perhaps there had been a gap that frightened them. However, now that he had recovered, there should be nothing to worry about anymore.
