Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God Novel - Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Promising a Big Share of the Pie

“Defect?” Li Yu looked at Gongshu Dijie with interest.

“That’s right. Our family head did not listen to advice and insisted on doing things his own way. I knew that he was destined to cause a disaster, so I decided to leave the Gongshu family.”

“I came back this time to remind you that the Gongshu family might harm your sect. I didn’t expect you to not be here, so I waited here”

“However, I never imagined that our family head would actually send someone to offend your sect. You really overestimate yourself and seek death!” Gongshu Dijie’s words were sincere.

The main reason was that he had expressed his feelings. He really felt that his family head did not believe him and insisted on using a tough attitude to resolve the matter. Instead, it would backfire and cause more trouble for the Gongshu family.

‘Is the life of the Gongshu family worthless compared to those Sons of Destiny?’

What infuriated him more was that Gongshu Jin had asked him to invite Li Yu over while sending people to attack the Qingyun Sect.

Wasn’t this equivalent to digging his own grave? If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough and told Li Yu that he was here to invite him to the Gongshu family to discuss a collaboration, what would the other party think? He would definitely kill him with a single strike.

Li Yu smiled meaningfully. He could tell that Gongshu Dijie only said that to save his life.

However, he knew that Gongshu Dijie probably did not know those people. Those guys had concealed their appearances, and they clearly did not do anything aboveboard.

If not for the fact that he possessed the Heart of Heaven and Earth and the Great Dao Golden Body, allowing him to speak according to the law and borrow the power of the laws of heaven and earth to make them speak the truth, he probably would not have been able to prove that they were from the Gongshu family.

As for Gongshu Dijie, he was naturally not that kind-hearted. Li Yu guessed that Gongshu Jin wanted to plot together.

Li Yu’s gaze gave Gongshu Dijie the creeps, and he felt as if his thoughts had been seen through.

He felt a chill in his heart as he thought about how foolish he was. How could an extraordinary person like Li Yu not see through his true intentions for returning this time?

Therefore, after a moment of silence, Gongshu Dijie immediately knelt down and explained the truth in detail.

Indeed, everything was as Li Yu had guessed.

“Since your master wants to invite me, I’ll go see him!” Li Yu said with a faint smile.

Gongshu Dijie heaved a sigh of relief. Although he had escaped, the Gongshu family was probably doomed.

“Wait for me here. Once I’m done with the matters at hand, I’ll make a trip to the Forsaken Heaven Immortal Realm!” Li Yu said.

Recently, he was preparing to bring Murong Xingqiao to the Forsaken Heaven Immortal Realm to complete the mission of the Mystic Bird Palace.

It was a good opportunity to visit the Gongshu family. Since he wanted them to work for him, he had to go over and give them a big surprise.

…

The Chaotic Star Domain. Because of the opening of the Ancient Road to Heaven, this desolate and dangerous Star Domain became lively.

It also attracted many uninvited guests, some chaotic creatures who lived in the Chaos Void, and those sinners who had been expelled from the various Immortal Realms.

There were also some hunters who specialized in theft.

These people were naturally not here to challenge the Ancient Road to Heaven. Their target was the elites of the Immortal Realm.

After all, in order to allow their elites to walk further on the Ancient Road to Heaven, every family had poured their top magic treasures, pills, and other precious resources into these elites.

Therefore, each of them carried half of their wealth. If they could successfully kill and rob, they would instantly soar.

Riches and honor came from danger, especially for these outlaws who lived on the edge.

As long as they succeeded, they would have the capital to turn things around.

To the sinners, this was their chance to take revenge. The various ancient families and eternal orthodoxies of the Immortal Realm were their enemies.

The path to the Ancient Road to Heaven was filled with danger, so those who dared to come were basically people with real background and strength.

Blast!

Gongshu Qitian slapped a sinful creature with a human face and a beast body into a bloody mist.

Then, he said coldly, “Hmph, foolish race. You don’t know how to repent even after being exiled. It’s your nature to overestimate yourselves!”

Gongshu Qitian was expressionless as he swept his gaze over the remaining sinners. They immediately took a step back in fear, their eyes filled with fear.

They did not expect these elites to be so powerful that they could kill their Saint Realm demon king with a casual slap.

It seemed like their hope for revenge was about to be destroyed.

Gongshu Qitian was at the peak of the Pseudo-Saint Realm, half a step into the Saint Realm. Coupled with his powerful physique, his Great Dao divine powers, and his magic treasures, he was a match for Li Yu.

Killing a criminal who had just entered the Saint Realm was a piece of cake.

Furthermore, apart from the five Saint experts, there was also a Saint King and a Great Saint Dao Protector.

Therefore, he was not afraid of anyone in the Chaotic Star Domain.

“Kill them all!” Gongshu Qitian ordered the Saint Realm entourage behind him.

The five received the order and immediately began to slaughter the group of sinners who had offended him.

However, right at this moment, golden feathers that looked like flying swords flew over from afar and forced the five Sages to retreat.

“They’re already a group of down-and-out people. Why should they kill together!” A gentle voice sounded.

Immediately, a handsome young man in golden feathered clothes flew over.

Behind him were five men in silver feather clothes. From their auras, they were basically at the Great Saint and Saint King Realm.

“Who are you?” Gongshu Qitian frowned and looked at the young man flying over unhappily.

“The young master of the Sky Feather World, Tian Peng!” The man in the golden feather robe replied calmly.

“Mind your own business!” As he spoke, Gongshu Qitian wanted to continue pursuing the group of sinners, but the man called Tian Peng stopped him again.

Gongshu Qitian did not indulge him. He snorted and struck out with his palm. Tian Peng also received the attack with a palm technique.

Blast!

The two palms collided, and they were evenly matched as they retreated.

Gongshu Qitian was unconvinced. He was about to rush up and fight Tian Peng again when he was stopped by the guardian behind him. “Young Master, the Ancient Road to Heaven is more important!”

Tian Peng was also stopped by his elders.

Gongshu Qitian looked at Tian Peng coldly and said, “See you on the Ancient Road to Heaven!”

Then, he snorted and flew into the distance.

“Hmph, I hate those arrogant humans from the Immortal Realm the most!” Tian Peng said coldly. As a bird, he hated seeing humans slaughter demons the most.

That was why he had just stopped Gongshu Qitian.

“Young Master, it’s not wise to make too many enemies before entering the Ancient Road to Heaven. After entering the Ancient Road, we can’t follow you anymore. You have to rely on yourself. You must be more wary of that person just now. Try your best to form an alliance with someone close to our race. Perhaps it can improve your chances of winning on the Ancient Road!” An elder behind Tian Peng advised earnestly.

“I understand! Let’s continue!” Tian Peng was slightly impatient as he continued to fly forward.

After a long while, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Road to Heaven.

Many people had already gathered there and were preparing to wait for the best opportunity.

Although the spatial passageway into the Ancient Road to Heaven had already been opened, it was not stable enough. Spatial storms and chaotic energy flows would appear from time to time, and it might directly take the life of whoever entered.

Therefore, for safety reasons, most people chose to wait for a stable period before entering. After all, this was not a race or a scramble for resources. It made no difference if they entered first.
