Song Lun, whose head had been completely severed, no longer had any chance. All that remained was a wisp of his consciousness, flickering dimly before its final dissipation.

It was as if he glimpsed the scenery beyond the Yang God realm.

The entire void seemed to have transformed.

Until, he saw the surging black flames before him, and a fragmented body without a head. He realized he was dead, slain by the Qilin Demon Dao Lord of the Dao God Palace.

Even his desperate struggle, using all his power, even disregarding the attack from the Heavenly Sword True Lord, was not enough to drag this Qilin Demon True Lord down with him.

His consciousness faded, mocking himself at the same time.

Weak.

He was simply too weak.

He couldn't even kill the Qilin Demon True Lord, how could he hope to deal with Xiang Qianqiu?

Alas, it was all too late.

In his final moments, Song Lun only wanted to ask one question.

When exactly had he offended the Dao God Palace, offended the Qilin Demon True Lord, that they would go to such lengths as to send two True Lords to deal with him, shattering all his dreams.

But now, he could no longer open his mouth.

In a hazy daze, all that remained before him was a layer of blood. His primordial spirit completely dissipated from his spiritual platform.

With the destruction of his primordial spirit, his head disintegrated even faster, completely perishing in the blink of an eye, leaving only a divine brush to declare his past existence in the mortal realm.

The divine brush was collected by Chen Yuan into the Heavenly Book space.

He looked down and saw a stream of azure destiny dragon surging out of the raging Samadhi True Fire, coiling around his body, and then dissolving into the depths of his consciousness, to be refined by the Destiny Altar.

It was as if the gears of fate were turning. In an instant, a familiar guidance towards opportunity surged into his mind.

"Shu Mountain Holy Land, Demon Suppression Pagoda, Eternal Cosmos, a solitary flower. Astral Wind Divine Power, tempered a thousand times, a fleshly furnace to suppress the mortal world!"

Shu Mountain! Demon Suppression Pagoda! A solitary flower!

Sensing this guidance, Chen Yuan's brows instantly furrowed. This was indeed an opportunity tailored to his current situation.

Bai Changqing had invited him to attend some Sword Worshiping Assembly before, but he had been unwilling to go, as it seemed like a waste of time. Now it seemed that was not the case.

He truly had to go.

However, Chen Yuan didn't have time to think too much right now, and could only suppress these thoughts for the time being. Because he still faced a great battle before him.

Song Lun was dead. His objective was achieved. But to be prepared, he should seize this rare opportunity today to leave all of the imperial court's True Lords here.

As for Gu Tianqiong, he had indeed been kind to him, but that was only a matter of convenience, and didn't count as true favor. At most, he would burn him some paper money in the future.

This was a struggle for the dynasty, and he couldn't afford to be softhearted.

He believed there was no chance of persuading Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu to surrender. True experts would not surrender out of fear of death.

Song Lun completely dissolved before everyone's eyes. The boundless Samadhi True Fire enveloped Chen Yuan, setting him apart as a true and terrifying fire god.

Sima Che's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't act rashly for the moment. Thirty-six Sea Stabilizing Pearls hovered before him, and an extreme killing intent coiled around his entire body.

Lu Guangsheng was seriously injured. Although he didn't leave, he distanced himself somewhat, not just from Sima Che, but also from the two True Lords of the Dao God Palace.

Before, they had been allies, not enemies, but now who knew?

He guessed that these two from the Dao God Palace were here by chance, and not a contingency left behind by the Clan Leader. He had to be wary of them joining forces to capture him.

On the other side, with Song Lun's death, the balance of this True Lord battle was broken. Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu exchanged a glance, and temporarily ceased their attacks.

The Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall seemed to be wary of something as well. Although he held his iron sword, he didn't act rashly, but watched Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu with vigilance.

Chen Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with the imperial court's renowned Grand Marshal of Armies and Horses was not as easy as it looked. He had almost been caught several times.

He could only pay a price to enhance the power of his archery.

The scene seemed to suddenly fall silent at this moment, causing unease.

"Are these experts going to stop?"

The Jianghu martial artists watching couldn't help but ask.

"Perhaps."

"I never expected that Song Lun would fall at the hands of the Qilin Demon True Lord. If word gets out, it will probably shock the world." Someone looked at the surging divine fire, his eyes filled with fear.

Even True Lords could be burned to death, just how powerful was this demonic flame?

"It was only the Qilin Demon True Lord who killed him. In reality, without the help of that Heavenly Sword True Lord, the Qilin Demon True Lord would definitely not have been Song Lun's match."

Seemingly afraid that Chen Yuan would hear his assessment, the man quickly changed his tune:

"Of course, this isn't to say that the Qilin Demon True Lord isn't strong. In fact, in my opinion, the Qilin Demon True Lord's strength is definitely enough to enter the Top Thirty of the Supreme Ranking."

"Today's battle will have far-reaching consequences."

"Father, do you think they will continue to fight? I feel like something isn't quite right." A young nobleman in brocade robes asked hesitantly.

His father replied in a low voice:

"Having fought to this point, it's hard to stop even if they want to. Neither side will allow the other to leave. It's clear that the Seven Killings Hall and the Dao God Palace are in the ascendancy.

And given the style of the Dao God Palace and the Seven Killings Hall, they have always been at odds with the imperial court. If three True Lords fall today, I'm afraid the days of great turmoil in the world will not be far off."

"Father, let's leave quickly, so we won't be affected later."

Just the fall of one True Lord had nearly crippled Liangshan. If it truly came to a battle to the death later, even if they were far away, they would probably be affected.

Even the aftermath was not something they could withstand.

"Let's watch a bit more... and move further away."

His father hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

Many other guests who had come to attend Song Lun's birthday banquet saw people retreating and didn't hesitate to flee further away, fearing they would be implicated.

Some even lamented that they had come to attend the birthday banquet of the White-Clad Scholar Song True Lord, but it had turned into his memorial day. They truly didn't know what to say.

Perhaps, when word spread throughout the Jianghu, it would cause a wave of lamentation.

Somewhere on Liangshan that hadn't been affected, Xiang Qianqiu's gaze was deep. He felt that what was to come would probably not be so simple. Before the clash, he had felt a sense of danger.

Therefore, when he saw Chen Yuan appear, he didn't attack, but prepared to observe.

He had even spared no expense to make the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall fight desperately. Unfortunately, this person was always too wary and didn't reveal his true trump cards.

Otherwise, with the heritage and methods of a Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect, killing Gu Tianqiong would have been very hopeful.

As for now, perhaps it was the time for these imperial court True Lords to reveal their true intentions. If his premonition was wrong, then these three would have to stay behind to pay with their lives.

Li Kuangxiu was strong, Sima Che was strong, and Gu Tianqiong was also strong, but compared to him, they were still far behind.

No Immortals, Invincible in the Mortal Realm!

This was Xiang Qianqiu's self-perception. If he didn't have this strength, how could he have presumptuously dreamed of reviving the Great Chu? Of setting a goal to reach the achievements of the Great Ancestor?

The three True Lords of the imperial court were rapidly closing the distance, but the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall and Chen Huaiyi had sealed off their retreat. If they wanted to leave, they would have to pay the price.

Chen Yuan and Jiang He didn't act rashly either, blocking the road ahead. The surrounding void had been sealed off, and it wouldn't be easy to break through.

It wasn't that they didn't want to strike a fatal blow, but that Chen Yuan's condition wasn't good right now. Jiang He was slightly better; Song Lun hadn't targeted him.

But Chen Yuan had suffered serious injuries. That was Song Lun's final counterattack before death. Even now, it still lingered within Chen Yuan's body, eroding his vitality.

"Fellow Daoist of the Seven Killings Hall, the strength of the imperial court is nothing more than this. Since we have forged a deadly feud today, why don't our two families completely leave them here to be buried with us?

Afterward, all of Blood Prefecture will belong to the Seven Killings Hall, and the Dao God Palace only wants all the accumulated wealth of Liangshan, how about it?" Chen Yuan raised his head and stared at the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall as he spoke.

"You're negotiating terms with me?"

The half of the face revealed by the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall was still icy cold. His hoarse voice sounded like a demon crawling out of hell. Even without moving, they could sense a bone-chilling killing intent.

The Seven Killings Hall cultivated the Path of Slaughter!

"I am representing the Dao God Palace to negotiate terms with you. Fellow Daoist Shura is already on his way here, or does Fellow Daoist of the Seven Killings Hall feel that the Dao God Palace is not worthy?"

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he brought out his alter ego as a deterrent.

He believed that the Shura Demon Monarch, who was ranked in the top five of the Supreme Ranking, could still put pressure on the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall.

And that was indeed the case. Upon hearing that the "Shura Demon Monarch" was about to arrive, the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall fell silent for a moment. He didn't know if what the Qilin Demon True Lord said was true.

But for the sake of safety, he still treated it as true.

Regarding that Shura Demon Monarch who was famous throughout the Jianghu but whom he had never met, the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall was actually extremely wary in his heart.

None who could enter the top ten of the Supreme Ranking were mediocre.

And based on the strength that the Dao God Palace had shown so far, apart from lacking the heritage of an Immortal Sect, it was already no worse than the Seven Killings Hall. Perhaps in the future, it would replace one of the Immortal Sects and become one of the new Ten Great Immortal Sects.

Chen Huaiyi remained silent, taking a deep look at his grand-nephew. He couldn't figure out this nephew's background anymore. And given his special status, it was better not to express any opinions.

As for what would happen if the Hall Master suddenly turned his face after they had destroyed a few imperial court True Lords, perhaps he would have to help his nephew out a bit.

Compared to a Seven Killings Hall, of course, his nephew was closer to him.

Perhaps Chen Yuan knew this as well, which was why he wasn't afraid to negotiate terms with the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall, and didn't fear that he would turn his face afterward.

"Hehe, let's talk about other things after we kill them." The Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall said coldly after a moment of silence.

It wouldn't be that simple to divide up Liangshan.

That Xiang Qianqiu whom he was extremely wary of hadn't shown himself yet.

"Arrogant and conceited, you want to leave us here. Have you prepared to fall?" Gu Tianqiong snorted coldly, his aura flourishing.

Faint and mystical lightning surrounded his body, like a celestial being.

The Heaven's Weep Divine Blade in his hand radiated a terrifying sharp aura, expressing his dissatisfaction with the words of the Qilin Demon True Lord and the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall, feeling insulted.

What did they mean? Did they not acknowledge his existence, Gu Tianqiong?

Having lived from the Former Chu Dynasty to the present, and being revered as a Pillar of the State by the Sima family, how could he, Gu Tianqiong, be so simple?

"Which of you seeks death?"

Li Kuangxiu's face was old, but his voice was still full of vigor. His roar was like thunder, and his blood energy surged like a furnace. The giant axe in his hand was ready to erupt at any moment.

His gaze swept around the five True Lords nearby, and finally settled on the White-Clad Sword Immortal. He didn't know why, but although this person had been very calm and rarely uttered harsh words.

He still disliked him very much.

He had felt this way the last time in the imperial city when he had been restrained by Dongfang Sheng, and it was even stronger now.

His gaze, filled with killing intent, fell on Jiang He, and was naturally sensed by him. Staring at Li Kuangxiu, a strong killing intent also flashed in his eyes.

Although this person hadn't personally taken action in the annihilation of the Jiang Clan, he was involved.

If he dared to attack today, even if he was the father of Li Hongshuang, he would kill him without hesitation!

The sword in his hand trembled, and ethereal sword qi surrounded his body, as if it could pierce the void at any moment. He could attack at any time. So many years had passed, and he had long wanted to try Li Kuangxiu's methods.

"Just based on the few of you, you are far too arrogant."

Sima Che, with the face of a child but white hair, took a step forward, blocking between Li Kuangxiu and Gu Tianqiong. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"It's enough to kill at least you!"

Chen Yuan had been fighting with Song Lun before, but he had been aware of the surrounding battle. This old ghost Sima was strong, suppressing Lu Guangsheng, but there was still a line separating him from an unparalleled True Lord.

He and Jiang He could kill Song Lun in combination, and they could kill him too!

If they added a seriously injured Lu Guangsheng, they could definitely gang up and beat him to death today.

Now was not the time to talk about martial ethics. The opportunity to weaken the strength of the imperial court was rare, and today was one.

"It seems you still have some trump cards. At this point, just use them." The Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall snorted coldly, unmoved. Cold light emanated from his eyes.

Although they hadn't attacked, both sides were ready.

Perhaps the next moment would be the time to decide life and death.

But Li Kuangxiu and Gu Tianqiong frowned and exchanged a glance, exchanging thoughts, and then turned to Sima Che, their gazes deep.

They realized that Sima Che might have other tricks up his sleeve today. Otherwise, facing five True Lords, he would never be so composed.

But...

What other tricks could there be?

Could there be other True Lords lying in ambush?

Impossible!

If there were, Song Lun wouldn't have died before.

In their expectations, Song Lun was a very important chess piece, and he absolutely couldn't be allowed to fall here, or it would affect the subsequent imperial court plans.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Sima Che's lips. He said indifferently:

"This method was originally reserved for Xiang Qianqiu. It's just a pity that Song Lun died, and the subsequent plans naturally fell through."

Song Lun was short-sighted, thinking that the Xiang family was nothing more than that. Relying on the strength of the imperial court, with four True Lords coming out together, they could definitely destroy them. But this was only a one-sided view.

Even Li Kuangxiu and Gu Tianqiong thought so.

It wasn't their fault. After all, they didn't understand the Xiang family.

Only those who had deep contact with this Martial God Clan could understand the terror of the Xiang family. And the Sima family was precisely the one that understood the Xiang family the most.

Because it was they who had usurped the Xiang family's throne and fought against the people of the Xiang family.

They knew the heritage and terror of the Xiang family.

If they could be so easily destroyed, the Sima family wouldn't have been so troubled for hundreds of years. Therefore, before coming, he had made preparations.

It was just a pity that they wouldn't be used on the Xiang family.

As for now, the threat of the Dao God Palace was too great, and they had disrupted the imperial court's plans several times. He wanted to take this opportunity to severely damage the Dao God Palace, to let them know what was what!

"You killed Song Lun, so you will bear the brunt of this method." Sima Che snorted coldly, like thunder descending. In the next moment, without any preparation.

An unparalleled, terrifying, and powerful aura instantly enveloped an area of a hundred miles around. The terrifying pressure caused the void to actually begin to distort.

This aura was instantly sensed by the Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall and Chen Yuan and others. Their pupils shrank, and they were suddenly shocked.

Immortal means!

Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu were also shocked. They only knew that they were going to attack the Xiang family today, but they didn't know that such a terrifying method was hidden in Sima Che's hands. No wonder he was so fearless.

Originally, Sima Che had actually wanted to use it before Song Lun died, but Chen Yuan had acted too fast, and Lu Guangsheng had desperately delayed him, causing him to be one step late. Otherwise, Song Lun would never have fallen here.

Of course, he could naturally use it before the war started, but he was hesitant at that time, feeling that it wasn't worth it. Because using such power would also cost the Sima family a huge price.

Originally, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate, replaced by the national fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty. It seemed that Sima Che had a treasure that suppressed the national fortune.

At this time, when it erupted, everyone was shocked.

Those warriors who had gone far away also sensed this terror and were very fortunate for their choice earlier. If they were still so close, they might have been enveloped by the aftermath today.

Chen Yuan and Jiang He also sensed an extreme danger. Their primordial spirits were warning and trembling, as if they had foreseen something.

Jiang He quickly turned his gaze to Chen Yuan. He knew that this immortal method was completely aimed at the two of them. The Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall had already fled far away at this moment.

Only King Chu Jiang seemed to be a bit slow.

"Go!"

The Hall Master of the Seven Killings Hall said in a deep voice to King Chu Jiang, but King Chu Jiang looked hesitant.

That terrifyingly powerful aura didn't leave Chen Yuan any time to prepare. A thousand-foot void rippled and distorted, and a light enveloped Sima Che.

And from between that vortex of heaven and earth, a divine spear locked onto the Qi of Chen Yuan and Jiang He.

Definitely immortal means!

This scene reminded Chen Yuan of the scene in the Battle of Liangzhou City, when the barbarian god wanted to descend across tens of thousands of miles. His heart was shocked, and he realized that he couldn't stop it with his methods.

He still had to awaken the sleeping Senior Moro. At this time, he couldn't care about so many thoughts. Injuries could be healed, but if a person died, they would really be gone.

He didn't expect the Sima family to be so willing to use immortal means against him. It was simply a breach of martial ethics!

"Senior Moro..."

Before Chen Yuan could finish his words, suddenly, there was another change in the world!
