The Dominant Immortal King's Palace

Under the watchful eyes of the Immortal Kings from the Immortal King Palace, a towering man with hair as black as ink and robes as dark as night slowly stepped out from the White Bone Blood Boat.

His body gradually emerged from the shadows of the cabin door, tall and straight. His gaze was aloof and disdainful like that of a god, as if containing the sun, moon, and stars.

"It's you! Gu Qingfeng!!" Li Futu exclaimed in shock.

As soon as the name Gu Qingfeng was spoken, the crowd from the Immortal King Palace frowned slightly. After all, they had just recently issued an Immortal King Decree, placing a realm-wide bounty on him.

Now that the main target was right in front of them, how could they not recognize him?

Gu Qingfeng gave Li Futu an indifferent glance. "Who are you?"

Li Futu froze instantly, almost cursing out loud.

You snatched Leng Shiqing right in front of my face, and now you have the nerve to ask who I am?

However, Li Futu held his tongue, knowing that since Gu Qingfeng had appeared here today, his death was absolutely certain.

The elites of the Immortal King Palace were all gathered here, giving Li Futu absolute confidence.

Li Futu merely sneered, "Gu Qingfeng, stop your posturing. The debt for your sneak attack on me last time, as well as for kidnapping Leng Shiqing, shall be settled today!"

The Palace Master of the Immortal King Palace, Xu Qingyun, looked coldly at Gu Qingfeng. "So you are Gu Qingfeng? I originally intended to deal with the Immortal Kings of the Sixth Star Ruins before seeking you out. I never expected you to walk right into our trap. This works out perfectly; it saves me a great deal of effort."

Hearing their words, before Gu Qingfeng could even speak, Patriarch Huntian panicked.

He felt that he had stood on the wrong side.

These people from the Immortal King Palace clearly knew Gu Qingfeng, and their words were full of extreme contempt. They obviously didn't take him seriously at all.

Moreover, the name Gu Qingfeng sounded incredibly familiar to him. As Patriarch Huntian thought about it carefully, he became increasingly flustered.

The matter of the Immortal King Decree had long spread far and wide. It was just that Gu Qingfeng had never stated his name earlier, so he had never made the connection.

Now that Xu Qingyun and the others had pointed it out, Patriarch Huntian fully understood Gu Qingfeng's identity.

Wasn't he the Gu Qingfeng who had caused such an uproar recently and was wanted across the entire realm by the Immortal King Palace?

Realizing the truth of the matter, Patriarch Huntian was both shocked and furious.

This meant that Gu Qingfeng had been deceiving him the entire way, that it had all been a bluff!

What bullshit ghosts and gods, what nonsense about only Immortal Kings being qualified to pull his carriage—it was all just putting on an act!

If he were truly that powerful, would he allow the Immortal King Palace to place a bounty on him?

Rumor had it that Gu Qingfeng had relied on the Poison of the Great Dao and sneak attacks to successively defeat Leng Shiqing and Li Futu.

Perhaps the Black Mountain Ghost General from before had also died by the Poison of the Great Dao. That White Bone Blood Boat must be filled with the Poison of the Great Dao, which was why anyone who entered it died.

Of course, this rumor had naturally been spread by Li Futu.

Having been defeated by Gu Qingfeng and failing to rescue Leng Shiqing, Li Futu could only do his utmost to belittle Gu Qingfeng to cover up his own incompetence.

"To think that the old Daoist Wenhua actually let this brat run all the way here. That old fellow is truly regressing as he ages. When we return, I will definitely mock him thoroughly," the only woman among the Immortal King Palace group chuckled lightly.

As they came to the Senluo Ghost Realm to encircle and annihilate the Immortal Kings of the Sixth Star Ruins, it was naturally impossible for them to dispatch their entire force. Originally, Li Futu was left behind to guard their headquarters. After receiving Leng Shiqing's plea for help, he went to rescue her, and upon failing, hurried to the Senluo Ghost Realm to seek reinforcements.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyun arranged for Daoist Wenhua, an expert at the mid-stage of the Immortal King realm, to return and take charge of the overall situation, while Li Futu filled Daoist Wenhua's vacancy to participate in the hunt for the Immortal Kings of the Sixth Star Ruins.

At this time, they were still unaware that Daoist Wenhua was dead. Because the Senluo Ghost Realm was completely isolated from the outside world, they assumed that Gu Qingfeng had likely escaped from Daoist Wenhua and specially come to the Senluo Ghost Realm to seek refuge, only to throw himself into the net.

Little did they know, Gu Qingfeng had come specifically for them.

"Oh?" Gu Qingfeng calmly glanced at the female Immortal King and said indifferently, "Then you can only go to hell to mock him."

The female Immortal King's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean by that?"

"Jiejiejie... What do I mean? Naturally, it means that Daoist Wenhua is already dead!"

"Dead!?"

Everyone from the Immortal King Palace frowned.

"Impossible! Could someone like you possibly kill Daoist Wenhua?"

"It seems you all don't believe me. That's simple enough. Won't it be clear once this Emperor personally sends you down to hell to ask Daoist Wenhua yourselves?"

"What arrogant boasting! I will send you into the cycle of reincarnation first!" Xu Qingyun erupted with heaven-shaking killing intent. In an instant, the winds and clouds changed color, and the void surged violently.

In his view, regardless of whether Daoist Wenhua was dead or not, Gu Qingfeng had to die!

Facing Xu Qingyun's heaven-shaking killing intent, a savage grin suddenly appeared on Gu Qingfeng's lips. "Jiejiejie... It seems this Emperor will be able to increase his cultivation by quite a bit today. A total of five Immortal Kings—let this Emperor devour to his heart's content all at once!"

Just as both sides were at daggers drawn, Patriarch Huntian, seeing that the situation was turning bad, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoists of the Immortal King Palace, this old man is not with this brat. I hope you all will not harm the innocent!"

"Oh?" Gu Qingfeng looked at Patriarch Huntian with great interest, his savage grin widening. "It seems there are six."

Patriarch Huntian: "..."

Li Futu mocked, "We all saw you pulling Gu Qingfeng's carriage, and you still dare to claim you're not with him?"

Patriarch Huntian grew extremely anxious. He was truly caught in a predicament where mud had fallen into his pants; even if it wasn't crap, it might as well be.

He hastily explained, "Please see clearly, everyone. This old man was deceived by this brat earlier, which was why I pulled his carriage. I didn't even know him before this!"

Li Futu smiled faintly, "Words are no proof. Then prove it for us to see."

A look of struggle appeared on Patriarch Huntian's face. He knew very well what Li Futu meant; he wanted him to switch sides.

He looked at the savagely grinning Gu Qingfeng, then at the glaring crowd from the Immortal King Palace, feeling deeply conflicted in his heart.

He wanted to attack Gu Qingfeng, but Gu Qingfeng's previous battle records were solid facts. Even if he wasn't as powerful as imagined, he was absolutely not someone he could handle alone.

"Fellow Daoists, this old man has no intention of participating in the conflict between you all. Please let this old man leave."

Xu Qingyun said indifferently, "You want to leave? The actions of my Immortal King Palace in this place cannot be known by anyone, so you cannot leave."

With a single sentence, Patriarch Huntian's path of retreat was completely blocked. There were only two paths laid out before him: either help Gu Qingfeng deal with the Immortal King Palace, or help the Immortal King Palace deal with Gu Qingfeng.

Just as he was agonizing over this, Gu Qingfeng very kindly helped him solve his dilemma.

"What are you still thinking about? Get over here!"

Amidst his savage grin, Gu Qingfeng unexpectedly attacked Patriarch Huntian, who was closest to him.

With a wave of his large hand, a terrifying suction force erupted from his palm, acting like a black hole as it madly tore at the surrounding void.

Patriarch Huntian only felt his entire body enveloped by the terrifying suction force, completely out of his control. His expression changed drastically in an instant.

"Everyone, save me!!"

However, no one from the Immortal King Palace made a move, instead watching with great interest as the two fought each other.

Li Futu even chuckled lightly, "How interesting. I never thought you would be so witless as to kill the only person who could possibly help you."
