Spirit Sword Peak was located in a remote location on the outskirts of Azure Sun Temple. Yang Kai chose this location on purpose due to it being more remote, but he didnβt expect it to become a loophole for Gong Yue to exploit.
Halfway there, streams of light flew over from all around Azure Sun Temple, gathering in a group.
Other than those who were outside the Sect or in secluded retreat, all Emperor Realm Elders were there. Vice Temple Master Qiu Ran was also present, and after greeting Chen Wen Hao and Feng Ming, he turned to Gao Xue Ting and asked, βWhat happened?β
From the atmosphere, he could vaguely guess that something big had taken place. Otherwise, it was impossible for Gao Xue Ting to rush into the temple with the Elders of two other Sects. As far as he knew, they should be in the Southern Swamp right now.
The last time Yang Kai sent them a message, he told them about what happened in the Southern Swamp, so Qiu Ran more or less knew the situation.
βGong Yue is on Spirit Sword Peak!β Gao Xue Ting answered.
βWhat?β Qiu Ran was shocked, βGong Yue? Which Gong Yue?β He simply couldnβt believe her words. He was even wondering whether Gao Xue Ting had made a mistake.
βItβs the Gong Yue that Junior Brother Yang mentioned before. The former patriarch of the Heavenly River Valleyβs Gong Family!β
βHow could Gong Yue be on Spirit Sword Peak?β Qiu Ran turned to look at You Kun, the one who was responsible for maintaining the Sectβs Spirit Array and safety. If Gong Yue invaded the temple and entered Spirit Sword Peak, then it would have been his fault.
You Kun was covered in cold sweat, βIβm not sure. I didnβt receive any suspicious reports.β
Yang Kai cut in, βGong Yue is highly proficient in the Dao of Spirit Arrays. If he really wanted to sneak into any Sect, he would definitely be able to find a way. The temple has been safe this whole time, so the Sect Defending Array clearly wasnβt broken. Gong Yue must have exploited some weakness in it, so itβs normal for him to be able to sneak in. Right now, we need to understand why he came to the temple, and why heβs on my Spirit Sword Peak!β
βYes. Gong Yueβs actions are extremely suspicious, and we have no idea what his situation is right now, so all of you must be careful later.β Chen Wen Hao nodded in agreement.
Qiu Ran nodded lightly as well. Stroking his long beard, he began to ponder.
You Kun looked at Yang Kai in gratitude while he cursed Gong Yue in his heart.
βThere is one thing I must tell everyone. The Demon Spirit has many mysterious tricks that are hard to handle, so all of you must guard your minds carefully. Never give the Demon Spirit a chance to take advantage of you,β Gao Xue Ting reminded everyone seriously. The several Elders from Azure Sun Temple all nodded their heads and used their Soul Secret Techniques to strengthen the defences of their Knowledge Seas.
After a half cup of teaβs time, the group finally arrived at Spirit Sword Peak.
Nothing seemed different in Spirit Sword Peak since Yang Kaiβs last departure. Other than the fact that the protective array was open, there was only one other anomaly, a figure sitting cross-legged in the open space on top of the mountain, remaining motionless as if he were dead.
There was also a jet-black little beast lying down by his side, looking comfortable. Its short tail would wag around randomly, and when the group of people came over, it raised its eyes to look at them but did not make any moves.
*Shua shua shuaβ¦*
The nearly ten Emperor Realm Masters scattered, surrounding Spirit Sword Peak in an airtight formation.
Gong Yue slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze swept around, finally fixing on Yang Kai. His dark eyes were a sight that sent shivers down the backs of all those who were seeing them for the first time. They were just like a bottomless pit that could devour everything.
βYouβve arrived!β Gong Yue spoke softly, sounding quite exhausted, as if he didnβt even have the energy to speak louder.
βShould this Old Master call you Gong Yue, or by another name?β Feng Ming sneered. Just by looking at Gong Yueβs state, he could not figure out whether this man had lost himself or not, and whether or not he had been overtaken by that Demon Spirit.
He didnβt even know if that Demon Spirit had the ability to take over another person.
Even though the current Gong Yue was good study material, there was no way for them to examine him safely now.
βThis Old Master is Gong Yue. Gong Yue of the Gong Family,β Gong Yue answered his question.
Feng Ming threw his head back in laughter, βYou still have the face to mention the Gong Family? The Gong Familyβs reputation will be forever disgraced after this incident, and you will be remembered as the greatest sinner in the Gong Family for ages to come.β
Gong Yue shook his head, βIs the pursuit of power a sin? If so, then all of you here are sinners.β
Feng Ming coldly snorted, βThere are innumerable Grand Daos in the world, with paths thin and thick to follow. Yet you chose to traverse the moor. What power do you seek to pursue there?β
Gong Yue responded indifferently, βAs long as it fits, everything will fall into place. The Grand Dao is a path, but who are you to say what is a moor and what is not? All Daos lead to the same end.β
βNonsense!β Feng Mingβs beard curled in anger.
Gong Yue announced proudly, βIf there is no path in the moor, then allow this Old Master to tread a road through it!β
βIβm afraid you donβt have that ability.β
Gong Yue smirked, βNaturally, it is impossible for this Gong to do it alone. However, there will be more who follow me.β
Chen Wen Hao sighed, βBrother Gong, youβve really been taken over by that Demon!β
What he had with Gong Yue could be described in some way as friendship, so before coming here, he thought about whether or not he could find the opportunity to help Gong Yue. However, after seeing him with his own eyes Chen Wen Hao knew it was impossible. Gong Yueβs body was not taken over, in other words, the Demon Spirit didnβt have the ability to seize someoneβs body.
However, Gong Yue had gone through demonification. His mind had been warped under the influence of the Demon Spirit, changing him into an unrecognizable shadow of his former self. Such a man was extremely dangerous as no one knew what he was capable of.
Inside, Chen Wen Hao gave up on wanting to help him.
βDemonification?β Gong Yue smiled, βIβve just found a suitable Dao for myself.β
βThatβs not your own Dao!β Yang Kai quickly said.
Gong Yue looked at him, βAnd what about you? Are all of you walking your own Daos? The paths you are all walking on are paths opened up by others before you. And who can prove that the Dao youβre following is the right one? In my opinion, youβre only picking up the scraps of others.β
Yang Kai said solemnly, βWe may be following the Daos of our predecessors, but we all strive hard to better ourselves and advance that path. But you, Old Patriarch Gong, your path has deviated from the Grand Dao. Youβll never reach the end. Youβll just become a slave to the Demon Spirit.β
It was not known which of his words stimulated Gong Yue, but his expression suddenly turned dark, and a cold glint flashed past his eyes, βNonsense! This Old Master has never felt stronger, who can enslave this Old Master!?β
Yang Kai thought about it for a moment but decided not to dwell on the issue. Instead, he asked, βMay I ask Old Patriarch Gong why you took great risks to come to Azure Sun Templeβs Spirit Sword Peak? What about this place attracted you?β
Gong Yue smiled but did not speak, appearing quite mysterious.
Yang Kai continued, βIt seems like thereβs something about this place that drew you here. Is something related to the Demon Race here? Could there be another Ancient Demonβs relic here?β
βOh?β Gong Yue looked at Yang Kai with some surprise, βYou actually know about the Ancient Demons?β
Yang Kai sneered, βI probably know much more than you do.β
βNo wonder!β Gong Yue looked at Yang Kai with interest, as if heβd discovered something, βNo wonder you felt different to me. It turns out you are the same as this Old Master.β
Yang Kai said, βYouβre wrong. We pursue different paths.β
βWords can deceive, but your body canβt. I can sense it. Itβs inside you.β Gong Yueβs expression suddenly became spirited, and he couldnβt help but laugh, βInteresting! Why remain so stubborn?β
Yang Kai shook his head, not arguing with him anymore. Gong Yue had already been corrupted by the Demon Spirit, so his thoughts and ideas were now different from normal people. There was no sense in arguing with him.
However, Chen Wen Hao and the others were now looking at Yang Kai suspiciously. They had no idea what Gong Yue meant by his words, and whatever it was he mentioned inside of Yang Kaiβs body made them extremely concerned.
Gong Yue laughed, βOne day you will discover that the Dao this Old Master chose is the correct one. This Old Master wishes that day will come soon enough.β
βWhether that day comes or not, Iβm afraid you wonβt have the opportunity to see it.β Feng Ming scoffed. Reaching his hand out towards the air and gripping down, his Flying Thunder Spear appeared, brimming with a cold light. Brandishing his spear, he thrust the tip towards Gong Yue while shouting, βThis Old Master will tell you now which Dao is the true one!β
His strike was just like a Flood Dragon going out to sea, majestic and indomitable.
His spear that brought together all the power in Feng Mingβs body dazzled the First-Order Emperor Realm Elders of the Azure Sun Temple. It felt like everything in the world could turn to dust under the tip of his spear.
Faced with Feng Mingβs stunning blow, Gong Yue did not try to dodge, but instead smiled, βEven though this Old Master knows that his time is running out, thereβs no way he will possibly surrender without a fight. If you want to take this Old Masterβs life, then all of you will have to bring out some real skill.β
While speaking, Gong Yue grabbed the little puppy by his side and threw it towards Feng Ming.
The little puppy was clearly a little confused at the sudden situation and it barked a few times, probably overwhelmed by fright. Both its round eyes were filled with panic as its limbs wiggled mid-air.
Feng Ming frowned, having no idea what Gong Yue intended to do. He could not perceive any threat from this dog-like little beast at all. For an existence as weak and insignificant as this Monster Beast, Feng Ming could easily make it die a violent death just by snorting at it.
For that reason, Feng Ming did not withdraw. The only target in his eyes was Gong Yue. As for the little puppy that had been thrown out, it would probably be smashed into a blood mist from the pressure of his spear alone.
Gong Yueβs hands suddenly weaved a series of complicated seals as he aimed in the little puppyβs direction.
Suddenly, as if the wild nature buried deep inside its bones had been awakened, the panic disappeared instantly from the little puppyβs eyes, replaced by a look of indescribable ferocity. Its eyes were filled with a destructive light, as if it wanted to destroy the entire world.
It stopped barking meaninglessly and instead opened its mouth wide at Feng Ming.
The puppy was not very big to begin with, at most a third of a metre long, so at the very most it could barely fit a fist into its open mouth.
But that mouth suddenly stretched apart, becoming as big as a house, completely overshadowing the little puppyβs body, as if it was the only thing left of it.
It was a very strange sight.
Everyone had their attention on Gong Yue the whole time, and even though they saw the little puppy when they arrived, they didnβt pay too much attention to it.
It wasnβt until now that they all realized that this little puppy was not as harmless as it appeared.
Everyone was somewhat stunned.
The group of Emperors which had been on guard the whole time all unleashed their Divine Abilities at that moment, sending a blast of attacks towards the giant mouth together.
