The Surprise Attack of the Heavenly Supreme

Gu Qingfeng walked several miles before suddenly stopping in his tracks.

The one hundred and eight Heavenly Supremes behind him also halted immediately, standing motionless like stone statues.

"Not good. These underlings are too conspicuous. What if they scare off the forces of the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld? Better to hide them for now and give the Heavenly Court and Netherworld a little surprise later."

Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself before waving his hand and storing the one hundred and eight Heavenly Supremes within his Palm World.

Truthfully, the Palm World’s level was far too low to contain even a single Heavenly Supreme, let alone one hundred and eight. The moment a Heavenly Supreme entered, the Palm World would collapse instantly.

Fortunately, these Heavenly Supremes were all his subordinates. Following his orders, they suppressed their power completely, not allowing a single wisp of energy to leak out, allowing them to exist within the Palm World temporarily.

......

Sword Sect.

Shenyan Supreme of the Heavenly Court and Yangzhu Supreme of the Netherworld had been hiding near Sword Sect for several days.

"Why hasn’t Gu Qingfeng shown up yet? Does he really not care about Sword Sect at all?" Shenyan Supreme wondered aloud.

Yangzhu Supreme sneered. "Haven’t you heard of Gu Qingfeng’s reputation in the Green Wood Domain? The world calls him the Demon Lord! That fiend commits every evil imaginable—ruthless and vicious to the extreme. A demon like him wouldn’t care about others."

"Now that our forces have openly arrived at Sword Sect, if Gu Qingfeng still doesn’t appear, we’ll have no choice but to slaughter them all."

Yangzhu Supreme glanced at the sky. "If Gu Qingfeng doesn’t show himself before sunset, order the army to attack."

......

Outside Sword Sect’s protective formation.

Two groups of formidable, murderous cultivators had surrounded Sword Sect completely.

Leading them were two Heavenly Lords, one from the Heavenly Court and the other from the Netherworld.

These two were merely feigning an attack—their true purpose was to lure out Gu Qingfeng.

After Righteous Sun Heavenly Lord’s self-detonation, the Heavenly Court’s master deduced that Gu Qingfeng possessed strength capable of rivaling a Heavenly Lord. Thus, sending Heavenly Lords to attack Sword Sect would likely force him to appear.

Even if he couldn’t defeat two Heavenly Lords at once, he still had the Heavenly Transmission Array to escape. With the option to advance or retreat, there was no reason for him to abandon his territory.

"Before sunset today, if Sword Sect still refuses to hand over Gu Qingfeng, don’t blame the Heavenly Court and Netherworld for disregarding our shared ties as immortal sects under the Imperial Court! Sword Sect will be wiped from existence!"

A broad-faced Heavenly Lord stood before Sword Sect’s protective formation, looking down with disdain.

He didn’t spare a single thought for the "worthless rabble" of Sword Sect.

Inside Sword Sect, Dugu Wei and the others watched the aggressive forces of the Heavenly Court and Netherworld with grim expressions.

One of the elders suddenly sighed. "Ah, what kind of sin has our sect master committed? How did he manage to offend both the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld in just one trip to the Sacred Domain?

His audacity is too great—who in this world dares to provoke both the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld at once?"

"Exactly! I’ve long advised the sect master to restrain himself and keep a low profile, but he never listened. He’s grown accustomed to tyranny in the Green Wood Domain, and now he’s carried that same arrogance into the Sacred Domain. Pitiful that Sword Sect, just as it was beginning to flourish, must now face annihilation.

If Sword Sect is destroyed under our watch, how will we ever face Sword Heavenly Emperor in the afterlife?"

"Enough idle talk," Dugu Wei scolded. "Has anyone managed to contact the sect master?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Normally, the sect master ignores us. Only the female cultivators can get through to him."

"Has Ling Fei’er reached him?"

"No. Most likely, the sect master has already found a new favorite."

Their expressions darkened further.

"Such boldness, daring to speak ill of this lord behind my back. It seems your storage rings have grown fat again, haven’t they?"

A cold snort suddenly rang out behind them.

They startled before turning in delight to see Gu Qingfeng standing there.

"Sect Master! You’ve finally returned!"

"Thank heavens, Sect Master! If you hadn’t come back, Sword Sect would have been doomed!"

"Enough flattery. Xiao Li, Xiao Lin—you two were the ones badmouthing me just now. According to sect rules, hand over your storage rings."

The two elders, addressed as Xiao Li and Xiao Lin, paled but reluctantly surrendered the wealth they had painstakingly accumulated while Gu Qingfeng was away.

After pocketing the rings, Gu Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction.

Dugu Wei quickly spoke up. "Sect Master, what should we do now? Outside, there are over a thousand Celestial Realm experts, nearly a hundred Heavenly Monarchs, and two Heavenly Lords. Such a force is..."

Gu Qingfeng cut him off. "Just a bunch of worthless rabble. Stay here and don’t move. This lord will deal with them."

Without waiting for a response, he strode out.

Outside, the Heavenly Court and Netherworld forces continued their taunts.

"The so-called Sword Sect Master is nothing but a coward. Faced with the might of the Heavenly Court and Netherworld, he doesn’t even dare show his face. Truly laughable!"

"Ah, Daoist Zhang, you’re mistaken. After all, no one in this world can withstand the combined forces of the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld. It’s only natural for Gu Qingfeng to be afraid. Understandable!"

The two Heavenly Lords bantered back and forth, mocking Sword Sect and Gu Qingfeng in an attempt to provoke him.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, Sword Sect’s protective formation suddenly faded away on its own.

The two paused in surprise.

Then, a striking figure emerged, clad in black robes embroidered with gold, his face as flawless as jade, his gaze arrogant and domineering, exuding an extraordinary aura.

"Gu Qingfeng!"

The two from the Heavenly Court and Netherworld exclaimed in delight.

"Hahaha! So the coward finally—"

Boom!

Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!

Gu Qingfeng threw a single punch, and six terrifying black holes, spinning violently like gateways to the cycle of reincarnation, materialized before him, crashing down upon the allied forces of the Heavenly Court and Netherworld.

The force was like a towering mountain—unstoppable!

The enemies had no time to react before being obliterated into nothingness.

"Hmph. A bunch of worthless rabble, unworthy of even speaking to this lord."

Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping the empty battlefield before shouting, "You two old dogs hiding in the shadows—come out and face me!"

The moment he spoke, two overwhelming killing intents locked onto him from front and back.

They moved with blinding speed—so fast that Gu Qingfeng had no time to evade before being engulfed by two radiant beams of divine light.

Clearly, the Heavenly Court and Netherworld had come prepared. The two Heavenly Supremes they sent were both masters of speed, ensuring Gu Qingfeng couldn’t escape using the Heavenly Transmission Array.

When the light faded, multiple golden rings had materialized around Gu Qingfeng’s body, sealing him tightly.
