Chapter 1405: We Take Matters into Our Own Hands
Silence.
The sky was suddenly eerily quiet.
The phantoms all stared at Tu Yaoyao, their faces filled with astonishment.
No one expected that this notoriously fierce executioner would actually refuse to take action, and so decisively at that. For a time, doubt and bewilderment continuously bred in the hearts of the old monsters.
Tu Yaoyao, however, looked increasingly cold and continued to speak sternly.
"I won't wade into this muddy water."
"For the sake of our past friendship, I'll give you one more piece of advice in passing. This is no longer our era. Cloud Planet has gone through several epochs and has long since undergone tremendous changes. Even for you, it's best not to act rashly."
"If you can continue to lie low and recover your vitality, it might be good for everyone. Who knows, we might even have a sliver of a chance to ascend to the Great Dao."
At this point, the group of phantoms suddenly burst into cold laughter.
"Hahaha..."
"Not act rashly?"
"What a joke! Cloud Planet nowadays only has a bunch of incompetent juniors. Are they worthy of making us apprehensive?"
"To think you would actually say such words. It seems the Divine Butcher, whose very name once struck terror into every planet, is no longer what she used to be!"
"Tu Yaoyao, you haven't really been scared out of your wits, have you?"
"I don't believe it. What could possibly be worth our apprehension on today's Cloud Planet? I fear you're just being too selfish and making excuses to brush us off!"
...
Listening to the sarcastic remarks, Tu Yaoyao's face darkened a bit.
She sneered and looked around at the phantoms, showing no weakness.
"Hehe."
"You old undying fools have slumbered for endless years and have no idea what has happened on Cloud Planet today. Fine, I'll give you a few more pointers."
"I wonder, do you still remember the Elemental Immortals?"
"Back then, they just wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on acting recklessly on Cloud Planet. In the end, their souls were completely destroyed. The lesson of the past is right there. You are, after all, existences that have crossed epochs. You should at least have some awareness, right?"
Who knew that as soon as her voice faded, the phantoms' laughter grew even louder, and they no longer had any scruples. Even the trace of doubt that had previously been in their eyes completely vanished.
"The Elemental Immortals?"
"Are they worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as us!?"
"Hahaha!"
"I thought some strange change had occurred on Cloud Planet, but after talking for so long, it turns out you were just bringing up the fall of third-rate trash like Huang and Nian. How laughable!"
"That kind of trash has no right to take the stage in any era. What's so surprising about their souls being completely destroyed?"
"It's one thing for you to belittle yourself, Tu Yaoyao, but to actually compare us to them, you truly disappoint me to the extreme!"
Her well-intentioned advice met with sarcasm, Tu Yaoyao's beautiful face turned cold, and she violently swung her long sleeves!
"Hmph!"
"I've said all I have to say, and I've fulfilled my duty!"
"Since you don't believe me, go try it yourselves. Anyway, I'll put the ugly words up front. Even the Elemental Immortals fell without anyone knowing, and to this day, no results have been found. If my guess is correct, there must be a big shot laying out a plan on Cloud Planet. If you rashly enter the game, you'll have to bear the consequences of whatever fate you meet!"
"If your souls are completely destroyed, don't say I didn't warn you!"
...
After a few deep words, Tu Yaoyao dissipated into nothingness.
The sky fell into a brief silence.
The several phantoms didn't pay much attention, nor did they ever speak to ask her to stay. Regarding her strange remarks, they only treated them as nonsense. Their domineering laughter was full of sarcasm.
"To think the Divine Butcher would also be scared out of her wits. How sad and lamentable."
"After two epochs, things have indeed changed."
"Hmph, she is no longer the Tu Yaoyao she once was. The Divine Butcher of the past disappeared from the world the moment her physical body fell!"
"A big shot laying out a plan? What ridiculous words!"
"Indeed. We haven't even emerged yet, and this Cloud Planet is full of mediocre juniors. Where would a big shot come from? If there truly was such an existence, Cloud Planet wouldn't have fallen to this state."
"Forget it, forget it. Tu Yaoyao no longer has the resolute Dao heart she once had. From now on, she is worlds apart from us and is destined to struggle to enter the Great Dao. Let her be!"
"Elder Jiang, what are your thoughts?"
Amidst their sighs, the phantoms looked toward their leader.
The leading phantom was clearly more composed. He hadn't spoken lightly throughout the entire process, pondering the various words that had just been spoken. It was a long time before he let out a resounding voice.
"Since Tu Yaoyao is unable to take on a great responsibility, and Cloud Planet is becoming increasingly desolate right now, we have no choice but to take action ourselves."
Hearing this.
The phantoms' will to fight surged, and they all exuded an unrivaled, domineering aura.
"Elder Jiang is wise!"
"Cloud Planet is not what it used to be. Any one of us emerging could easily sweep through it!"
"Indeed! Even without Tu Yaoyao, the great cause of revitalizing Cloud Planet is still a piece of cake!"
"It seems we must take action ourselves. I just wonder who would be suitable?"
The domineering phantoms sized each other up, their eyes hiding concealed thoughts. They spoke nicely, but everyone knew that emerging early would cause immense wear and tear, and no one wanted to take on such a risk.
The subtle atmosphere was hard to detect, but it couldn't escape the leader's eyes.
Smiling slightly, he proposed a good plan.
"Everyone."
"Cloud Planet is becoming increasingly desolate, and the Demon Race is also beginning to stir. This is a time of crisis for our survival. We should put aside our selfish motives and work together to support the overall situation."
"Right now, our cultivation bases haven't recovered, so it's truly inconvenient to emerge. But if we condense avatars to take action, it wouldn't be too difficult."
"The overall situation is critical. I hope everyone will consider the sentient beings of Cloud Planet and lend your full support!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the phantoms all praised him and cupped their fists.
"Elder Jiang is wise!"
"If we condense avatars, it won't affect our future emergence too much, and we can also quell the chaos on Cloud Planet in one fell swoop. This plan is excellent!"
"Indeed! If we all take action together, even if it's just avatars, quelling Cloud Planet will be a breeze!"
"With Elder Jiang leading us, all living things in heaven and earth are but ants!"
"First, let's kill that Demon Race scum to establish our might and reclaim the position of Star Lord for our Human Race. Then, we'll teach the foolish juniors of the current generation. We must make Cloud Planet shine again!"
...
The several old monsters were all cunning foxes at the ancestor level. Hearing that the risk would be shared, they were naturally willing. They also anticipated that this matter would be a breeze, so they immediately expressed their stance one after another.
In the blink of an eye.
The phantoms radiated an invincible aura, as if they were living a second life!
As complex hand seals were formed, terrifying and profound auras emanated into the surroundings.
Heaven and earth changed color, and Cloud Planet trembled!
Once their divine senses spread out, they easily locked onto the Demon Race's aura. Several streaks of light flashed across the sky, and the dark clouds filling the sky dissipated into nothingness. The oppressive might headed straight for the Star Lord's Mansion!
At the same time.
In Luohai City, hundreds of millions of miles away.
The luxurious Star Lord's Mansion was dazzlingly brilliant, but only Long Tian sat alone. The extremely honorable treatment made him feel unspeakably flustered, and he was immersed in the torment of intertwined loneliness and apprehension for a long time.
The plan was completely messed up.
Now the Demon Race must definitely view him as a traitor. No matter how he explained it, it would be useless. The Human Race was also revering him more and more. If this continued, what was he going to do!
Could it be that he really had to go down this path to the bitter end?
Fake things could never become real. What if a true Star Lord appeared one day? Wouldn't he be hunted down by both humans and demons at the same time?
This damn well meant death either way!?
Sitting blankly in frustration for a long time, Long Tian deeply felt that it was lonely at the top. Even the resourcefulness he had always been proud of in his life was completely useless right now. His expression had become muddled.
All of a sudden.
His mind grew increasingly tangled, rendering him thoroughly restless. As he paced back and forth, a deeply ominous premonition began to loom in his heart.
Right at that moment.
Several ripples suddenly warped the void within the spacious, empty hall.
Whoosh...
Startled, Long Tian abruptly whipped his head around!
Midair within the hall, several white-haired elders stepped out with steady paces. Not a single trace of their auras could be perceived!
At this moment.
All his turbulent emotions were instantly replaced by sheer astonishment, his eyes widening into perfect circles!
The auras of these figures... did they belong to humans?
He hadn't sensed a single trace of their presence until they were right in front of him. Just how unfathomable was their cultivation base?
How could the human race possess entities of such a terrifying realm?
Before these individuals, he feared his demonic aura would be impossible to conceal!
After taking just a few closer glances.
Long Tian was utterly consumed by suspicion and dread. His breathing grew cautious, and his heart raced wildly. The sheer panic of a guilty conscience was perfectly encapsulated in him right now.
Thump! Thump!
As the elders looked down in silence, their bodies gradually exuded waves of killing intent that seemed to freeze the very air inside the hall. Terrified, his face paled drastically, and he cried out in a trembling voice!
Who... who are you people? What are you trying to do?!
I... I am from Yunxing...
Before he could finish speaking, one of the elders struck!
Bang!
A palm was thrust out with lightning speed. The mere wind generated by the strike blasted him backward. He smashed straight through the jade wall behind him, flying dozens of meters before collapsing into a heap on the ground, a mist of blood erupting from his mouth!
