"Haha, what a Tyrant Immortal! I'm leaving too." Amid the silence, suddenly came Fengzi's hearty laughter.
Immediately after, he was enveloped by howling winds, which swept him away.
Countless gazes focused on him as well.
Fengzi was the recognized number one in movement within the Northern Plains today. Even when the Medicine Emperor had personally acted to capture him, he had failed. This was Fengzi's proudest feat.
Chu Du and Fengzi were both bold enough to disregard Centipede Heavenly Lord's authority. The other immortals had restless thoughts, but not one made a move.
Centipede Heavenly Lord also made no sound, watching the two leave.
Black Family's Supreme Grand Elder urgently shouted, "Reporting to Heavenly Lord! It's one thing for Fengzi to leave! The key is that Chu Du snatched away the thirteenth Eagle Nest! Hidden inside that nest is Black Fan's True Transmission!"
Hearing this, the immortals immediately stirred, secretly communicating amongst themselves.
Black Fan's name was like thunder to all the immortals. This great power was the pride of the Black Family's history; he had led the Black Family to the position of Northern Plains overlord. If he were still alive, who would dare to besiege the Black Family?
"No matter, I already knew." Centipede Heavenly Lord's voice came again, his tone utterly flat!
The Supreme Grand Elder's heart shuddered. His lips trembled a few times, wanting to say more, but ultimately did not speak.
The Supreme Second Elder suddenly said, "Reporting to Heavenly Lord, the Iron Eagle Blessed Land is on the verge of collapse. If we hold the banquet here, I fear it won't last half a day."
"Immortals of the Black Family, do not worry. We have been prepared for a long time." Just then, three Gu Immortals arrived together.
All the immortals looked at them, feeling a sudden realization.
It turned out these three immortals were none other than the three Gu Immortals from the Centipede Family.
Throughout the entire Black Family battle, they had stood by from start to finish. So they had been following Centipede Heavenly Lord's arrangements, handling the cleanup work after the great battle.
Next, the three Centipede Family Gu Immortals attacked together, unleashing an Immortal-level killing move.
The effect was immediate, stabilizing the teetering Iron Eagle Blessed Land in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of many Righteous and Demonic Path immortals shifted slightly.
This Immortal-level killing move's power was excellent. It was their first time witnessing it, and it seemed there were no records of it in history.
They realized: the Centipede Family wasn't just Centipede Heavenly Lord alone; the other Gu Immortals were not to be underestimated either.
"Gong Er pays respects to the Heavenly Lord." Subsequently, the Gong Family Gu Immortal Gong Er arrived alone. Entering the Iron Eagle Blessed Land, he bowed towards the high sky.
When the Ninth Transformation doesn't appear, the Eighth Transformation dominates!
Gong Er had high spirits, but facing an Eighth Transformation existence, he had no choice but to be respectful. However, his mood was very gloomy.
At the final moment of the Black Family battle, Gong Er had originally wanted to activate the Immortal Gu House, the Golden Dawn Palace, to seize cultivation resources.
But the Centipede Family Gu Immortals had smiled and told him it was best not to act rashly.
Naturally, Gong Er wouldn't heed their advice, but then he received another message from Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince. The gist was: don't move, or you will be an enemy of Centipede Heavenly Lord! If you anger Centipede Heavenly Lord and he kills you, Gong Er, you'll deserve it, and Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince won't stand up for you.
Hearing this, even though he was extremely unwilling and resentful in his heart, Gong Er dared not make a move. He suffered a huge loss this time.
He had spared no effort to bring the Golden Dawn Palace to support him, but the gains were disproportionate to the investment. Originally, Gong Er wanted to use this as a pretext to act as the Righteous Path leader, but the other Golden Bloodline Gu Immortals ignored him.
The three Centipede Family Gu Immortals responded to his call and visited the Golden Dawn Palace. Although this gave Gong Er a way to save face, in reality, these three immortals had other plans.
Representing the Gong Family now, Gong Er had to appear. He greeted Centipede Heavenly Lord, but in his heart, he was extremely dissatisfied with Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince: "Despicable and hateful! This time I've fallen for Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince's scheme. Hmph, in the end, his surname isn't Gong. He's just the Gong Family's son-in-law, an adopted Supreme Elder from another surname!"
Generally speaking, in family-based superpowers, an adopted Supreme Elder from another surname was quite rare.
Unlike the Central Continent's super sects, which could easily accept outsiders as Supreme Guest Elders.
An adopted Supreme Elder from another surname joining a super family usually had to have a close relationship with the family's Gu Immortals. For example, being husband and wife. Or sworn brothers, and so on.
Fairy Jiang Yu had once joined the Black Family by posing as Black City's concubine on the surface.
Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince's true identity was a mole planted by the Spirit Affinity Studio in the Northern Plains Gu Immortal world, responsible for the grand plan to overthrow the Blessed Land of the Royal Court and control the Eighty-Eight-Story True Yang Building.
In his early years, he had married a female immortal from the Gong Family. Later, with covert support from the Spirit Affinity Studio, he became an Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal, then drifted away and largely ignored the Gong Family.
Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince himself lived in the Phoenix Immortal Grotto-Heaven, disregarding his former Gong Family wife, living only with two servant Gu Immortals, Youlan and Leyao.
The entire Gong Family was very dissatisfied, but Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince was an Eighth Transformation existence, so the Gong Family Gu Immortals had to swallow their anger.
This time, taking advantage of the Snowbeard Ancestor forcing back the joint attack of the Medicine Emperor and Centipede Heavenly Lord, the Gong Family Gu Immortals hatched a plan. They spread rumors everywhere about Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince being able to surpass Snowbeard Ancestor. Firstly, they wanted to use Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince's influence to raise the Gong Family's status within the Righteous Path. Secondly, they wanted to force Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince into opposition with Snowbeard Ancestor. If the two started fighting, regardless of victory or defeat, it would benefit the Gong Family.
This plan could be called killing two birds with one stone, but could one so easily scheme against an Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal?
This time, Gong Er received his lesson!
Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince had secretly reached an agreement with Centipede Heavenly Lord. One could imagine that Centipede Heavenly Lord must have paid a price for this. Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince concealed this matter and didn't notify the Gong Family in advance at all. He sacrificed the Gong Family's interests for personal gain. Moreover, at the crucial moment, he sent a message that left no leverage. The entire Gong Family could only swallow this bitter pill silently. Who told Centipede Heavenly Lord to only recognize Phoenix Immortal Crown Prince?
The Gong Family didn't have a second Eighth Transformation; strength was the foundation for equal dialogue!
The three Centipede Gu Immortals stabilized the Iron Eagle Blessed Land. Not only was it stabilized, but they also began to repair it. Over the next three days and three nights, the Iron Eagle Blessed Land hosted continuous celebrations.
Right within the Black Family's former main base, the rise of the Centipede Family was announced. The deeper implications within were extraordinary and thought-provoking.
Almost all the Gu Immortals attended this celebration, except for exceptions like the Tyrant Immortal and Fengzi.
Apart from these two, perhaps there were others. For example, the mysterious Gu Immortal who had briefly appeared during the Black Family battle, the one controlling the Mortal Grass Cottage. It was unknown if he was hidden among the immortals or had already quietly slipped away.
Most Righteous Path Gu Immortals attended the first day of the celebration before taking their leave.
The Gong Family Gu Immortals, led by Gong Er, were the first to withdraw. As they left, Gong Er walked with his head held high and shoulders back, but for those paying attention, they could sense the Gong Family immortals' dejected state.
Next was the Twenty-Two Clan.
This time, this superpower had only sent two Gu Immortals.
One was the Seventh Transformation Space Path Gu Immortal, Twenty-Two Rich. The other was the contemporary Sword Son, Twenty-Two Pingzhi.
Although the latter was only at the Sixth Transformation realm, he had stolen the show during this Black Family battle. One could say he became famous in a single battle. However, it wasn't without cost.
In the corner, the Corpse Poison Old Freak kept glaring hatefully at Twenty-Two Pingzhi, gritting his teeth.
The enmity between the two parties was immense.
The Meng Family, Yuan Family, Nuer Family, Yelü Family, and others successively departed.
The Liu Family, Yao Family, and Guan Family Gu Immortals stayed until the very end, attending the entire three-day-and-night banquet before leaving. This could be considered giving the Centipede Family full respect.
Because these three families, unlike the other Golden Families, had territories in the Northern Plains closest to the current Centipede Family, and needed to maintain good relations.
