Don't Say We Didn't Warn You 02

I, Emperor Gu Qingfeng, will hold a concubine-taking ceremony in the Myriad Demon Hall of the Sixth Star Ruin in exactly one month. I shall take Xuan Shuang, Lu Xuewei, and Mu Nianqiao as my concubines. I invite guests from all over the world to attend and witness this. Let all immortals, buddhas, demons, ghosts, and devils hear my decree! Whichever faction fails to attend will be disrespecting me, so do not say I did not warn you!

Gu Qingfeng's arrogant voice transmitted through all the flowers in the world, instantly spreading across the entire Fallen Star Abyss.

The threat in his words was self-evident. He was just that arrogant, blatantly threatening all the living beings of the Fallen Star Abyss.

Today, he had the confidence to do so.

Whether others called him arrogant or domineering, or even if the whole world cursed him, it did not matter.

Anyway, this Emperor is invincible; do as you please!

When you are invincible in the world, you naturally do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if others find it unreasonable, because the rules are made by the strong. The weak only have two paths: obey, or die.

Gu Qingfeng didn't even plan to send out formal invitations. He just casually announced it; whoever decided not to come would have to weigh the consequences themselves.

After Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, the entire Fallen Star Abyss completely exploded in an uproar.

What! This World-Destroying Demon Emperor is actually so rampant! Taking a concubine and demanding the whole world to attend the ceremony!?

Simply lawless! Is he not afraid that the immortals of the world will gather and flatten his Myriad Demon Hall?

Heaven is blind! To actually let such a fierce demon run amok, is there still justice? Is there still law?

For a time, the topics of conversation across the entire Fallen Star Abyss changed completely. Previously, they all revolved around cultivation, fortuitous encounters, secret techniques, and the like, but now everyone was discussing the matter of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor taking concubines.

Perhaps the living beings of the world had never imagined that one day, the biggest event in this land would actually be a concubine-taking ceremony.

Especially those supreme experts returning from ancient eras; they were utterly dumbfounded. They never expected this current age to be so crazy.

Back when they dominated an era, even if they were celebrating a birthday or marrying a Dao companion, they had never caused such a massive commotion.

Thus, countless people began to condemn the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, but there was absolutely no one who dared to storm the Myriad Demon Hall single-handedly.

This was because the battle between Gu Qingfeng and Immortal Lord Qijue and the others had been too terrifying, affecting the entire First Star Ruin, and the other Star Ruins could also sense it to some extent.

Reaching the level of an Immortal Lord, major events happening in the entire Fallen Star Abyss could hardly be hidden from their eyes.

All the experts knew very well in their hearts that, as things stood now, in a one-on-one fight, there was likely no one who was a match for the World-Destroying Demon Emperor.

In a hidden place.

Lin Daoxuan was hiding within a void fissure, currently cultivating.

Radiant immortal light shone from his body, and Dao rhythm flowed like water; looking directly at him was like looking directly at the Great Dao.

A moment later, all the anomalies faded away, and Lin Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes. His entire person looked like a mortal, without the slightest hint of anything divine.

Returning to one's original simplicity.

With his current realm, he had long reached the state of returning to true simplicity.

The cultivation of ten lifetimes has finally returned, Lin Daoxuan silently sighed with emotion as he felt the vigorous power within his body.

The Dao fruit of his ten lifetimes of re-cultivation had not dissipated with reincarnation; rather, it had been hidden away by him.

Now, his ability to quickly recover his cultivation was not due to re-cultivating, but because he had retrieved his original Dao fruit.

With my current strength, it should be enough to confront Gu Qingfeng. However, that fierce demon is immortal and indestructible, which is very troublesome. I still need to find another strategy, Lin Daoxuan muttered to himself.

The next moment, he suddenly frowned slightly, his heart stirring.

What is going on? Why this sudden whim? Could something be about to happen?

For an expert at Lin Daoxuan's level, a sudden whim was always some kind of warning.

Divine light radiated from his eyes, and the phantom of the River of Destiny slowly flowed within them.

It was exactly Immortal Lord Qijue's Destiny Divine Eyes!

He had possessed Immortal Lord Qijue's body, so he naturally inherited the other party's eight great divine abilities.

He had to admit that, even as strong as he, Lin Daoxuan, was, Immortal Lord Qijue's Eight Ultimate Skills were absolutely unprecedented, a summary and sublimation of the inheritance within the Flame of the Era.

Following the investigation of the Destiny Divine Eyes, Lin Daoxuan immediately understood everything that had happened in the outside world, and his expression instantly turned ice-cold.

Gu! Qing! Feng!! The three words he uttered were incomparably cold, full of anger and killing intent, like a life-claiming ghost from the Nine Nether Hell, making one shudder with fear.

Lin Daoxuan never expected that an expert of Gu Qingfeng's status could actually do such a despicable thing!

To actually want to take Xuan Shuang, Lu Xuewei, and Mu Nianqiao as concubines!

These three women were all confidantes he had met during his ten lifetimes of reincarnation, and their relationships were not shallow.

In every lifetime of reincarnation, in order to pursue the Great Dao, he would walk a path he had never walked in his previous lives. Therefore, he had also joined various major sects to learn, and naturally knew many senior and junior martial sisters.

There were also some female cousins he had met when reincarnating into major families.

Because he stood out in every lifetime, coupled with the power of destiny, he was always able to gain the favor of many women.

However, his heart was set on the Dao, and he did not care about romantic love, only treating them as younger sisters.

But now, because of him, these younger sisters were going to suffer the humiliation of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor. How could he tolerate this?

Lin Daoxuan was merely devoted to the Dao, but he did not cultivate the Dao of the Heartless Sword, so he was naturally not a heartless and unrighteous person.

Even if he had lost the will of his previous nine lifetimes and lacked much true emotion towards those women, he still could not endure it.

Although his feelings had faded, he clearly knew that it was due to the loss of his will, not because they had truly faded.

This feeling was just like watching Xiaolongnü being bullied by Yin Zhiping; even knowing it was acting, one's heart would still feel a lingering resentment.

Not to mention that all of this was truly happening to Lin Daoxuan.

Lin Daoxuan's eyes flickered as he rapidly thought of a countermeasure.

He knew this was the World-Destroying Demon Emperor forcing him to show himself. He also had the confidence to deal with the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, but the problem was, given the other party's level of despicability, he would absolutely use Xuan Shuang and the others to manipulate him, making him hesitate out of fear of collateral damage.

After thinking it over and over, Lin Daoxuan formulated a plan in his heart. He slowly raised his head, his ancient well-like, emotionless eyes looking at the endless sky above.

It seems it is time to make a trip to the Heaven Beyond Heaven. Back then, I severed the connection between heaven and earth because I did not want to be discovered by them, but now I cannot care so much anymore. If the strategy of driving the wolf to swallow the tiger is used well, my plan is not impossible to realize.

Lin Daoxuan muttered to himself, and in the next second, his figure vanished.

.........

Sixth Star Ruin, Myriad Demon Hall.

Gu Qingfeng held Mu Nianqiao with one hand and Lu Xuewei with the other, instructing the group of subordinates before him: Go to the major factions and visit their sects. Tell them that they must come to attend the ceremony in a month. Remember, be a little polite to the guests. Even if they are unwilling to come, you cannot do things like exterminating their entire sect. In life and in doing things, one cannot be too absolute.

At most, kill ninety percent; you always have to leave them a little incense lineage to carry on.
