Chapter 145 Falling out
Venerable Faming looked down at them from his high position. At this moment, he was no longer as cautious as before his advancement. He could feel that the Heavenly Dao had bestowed a lot of fortune upon him. Although he was no match for Liu Xiu now, Liu Xiu also had no way to kill him directly.
He turned his gaze to the Demon Lord, his eyes no longer showing the gratitude and caution he once had, and his voice carried an air of superiority.
"Liu Xiu is a villain, I despise him, and I will eventually have to fight him. But there's a saying that's true: we are all people of the Canglan Realm. You, Demon Lord, came here for the sake of our Canglan Realm. Even if I suffer the backlash of fate, I will break the contract. I will not sell our world."
At this moment, Gu Yuchuan had already emerged from the secret chamber. He was so angry that white smoke was billowing from his head. However, when he glanced at the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord's expression did not change at all, which meant that this was within his calculations. But if the king is humiliated, it is because the subject is incompetent. He is still the Demon Lord's subject, and also the only subject in the Canglan Realm. If he does not step forward now, what is he waiting for?
He stepped forward and pointed at Venerable Faming: "You are truly a despicable person. If it weren't for the Demon Lord, your immortal path would have already been destroyed. You actually deny it afterward. Sure enough, the destruction of your immortal path in the Canglan Realm is your own fault. I can see the arrogance and hypocrisy of your immortal path from you. You deserve to be suppressed by these unorthodox sects and have no room to survive."
There's a saying that you shouldn't hit someone in the face or insult someone by revealing their weaknesses, but Gu Yuchuan did the opposite. He went straight for the other person's most sensitive spot and started cursing. Venerable Faming's face immediately turned cold.
He unleashed a burst of magical power, but it was blocked by the Demon Lord's magic. It was a bit difficult for the Demon Lord to withstand Liu Xiu, but stopping a newly promoted Dharma Venerable was still a piece of cake.
"Venerable Faming, is it? You've no shame at all, attacking a junior. If you can attack a junior, does that mean I can too? Are you planning to abandon all the juniors in your entire Immortal Dao territory?"
Cultivators generally do not attack juniors who are far below them in cultivation level; this is an unspoken rule. However, Venerable Faming is completely disregarding this rule.
He widened his eyes: "The face of a Nascent Soul Venerable cannot be trampled on. Since he is mocking me, I will take action. And you, cultivator from another world, since you have come to invade us, be prepared for this clone to die here. Your fate is already sealed."
After saying that, he summoned a flying sword. However, for a dignified Nascent Soul stage Venerable to use a top-grade magic weapon was indeed a bit weak. The flying sword instantly reached the Demon Venerable, but he was bound by a layer of mist and could not advance any further.
"Is this all you've got? You're far inferior to Liu Xiu. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao protecting you, even if you had advanced, your immortal path would have been destroyed today."
At this moment, Liu Xiu slapped the stool and spoke up: "You are truly a wise man. How come the Heavenly Dao is not as wise as you? He has advanced now, but he is nothing more than this. He looks much weaker than me. The Heavenly Dao should be relying on me, not on his Immortal Dao's Venerable Faming. It is laughable that such a person without any credibility can represent the Immortal Dao and the Heavenly Dao."
Venerable Faming's face turned red. He had his pride too, and being repeatedly told that his character was questionable was really upsetting. But he quickly came up with a solution.
"No matter what people say about my character, I will do this. I am a being of the Canglan Realm. If ruining my own virtue can save the Canglan Realm from invasion, then I am willing to do it. Even if everyone curses me as a person without virtue, I will accept it."
This hypocritical demeanor caused Gu Yuchuan, the Demon Lord, and Liu Xiu to frown. The Demon Lord didn't want to say anything more; he waved his hand, and a teleportation array appeared in front of him.
"Let's go, Xiao Gu. I'll take you home."
However, Venerable Faming unleashed a burst of magical power, blocking their path.
"You come and go as you please, what do you take this place for? Today, I, Venerable Faming, will detain you intruders on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, and see if you dare to make a move again in the future!"
Gu Yuchuan looked at Venerable Faming with the eyes of someone looking at a fool. Where did this guy get his confidence that he could keep him here? Based on his understanding of the Demon Lord, Gu Yuchuan knew that he could proceed step by step. He had even developed Yun Haize to the point of counterattack. He would never do something without being sure of success. Especially his current expression, leisurely and composed, clearly showed that he was confident. This meant that he had achieved what he wanted, and the other party's act of crossing the river and then burning the bridge was also within his grasp.
Sure enough, the Demon Lord simply waved his hand, and Gu Yuchuan appeared beside him. The Demon Lord turned his head to look at Liu Xiu and Venerable Faming.
"Alright, I'll head back now. However, I've already left a seed in your world, which can launch a large-scale attack at any time. Just wait and see. I'm leaving."
After saying that, he led Gu Yuchuan into the teleportation array. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning came from a distant space, shattering the barrier of the world and striking Venerable Faming. Instantly, his primordial spirit was greatly weakened, and his Dao foundation was damaged. With just this one blow, he would be unable to advance his cultivation in the future.
This was one of the Demon Lord's backup plans. When he signed the contract with the other party, he used the contract method of the Abyss World. Among all the myriad realms, the Abyss World is the one that has studied contracts the most. Moreover, the Abyss has a very high status. It is a true Great Thousand World. If you violate it, even if you cross countless worlds, it can still punish you. Just like Venerable Faming now, he was seriously injured and his future path of cultivation was cut off.
On his most triumphant day, his future path was cut short. Such a huge fall was enough to keep him from ever recovering for the rest of his life. The happiest person now was Liu Xiu. The other party had no room for improvement, but he did. Now, at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, he couldn't kill the first level of the Nascent Soul stage because Heaven wouldn't allow it. But in the future, at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he could fight the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, or even at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. Heaven wouldn't be able to stop him. He left without saying a word, overjoyed.
Venerable Faming coughed up several mouthfuls of blood: "You all hold your positions for now. We'll discuss going out after I emerge from seclusion. Remember, don't go out casually. I need to go into seclusion for a while." After saying this, he went to stabilize his injuries.
At this moment, the Demon Lord and Gu Yuchuan returned to the Azure Cloud Realm. The dazzling light above the sea of clouds aggravated the dizziness that had just occurred after the teleportation, and it took Gu Yuchuan a long time to recover. The Demon Lord's true form was already sitting above, waiting for him.
