main hall.
A man sat majestically on his throne, looking down below.
A person wearing a snow-white cloak, with their head covered, slowly walked in.
The cold voice of the man on the throne rang out: "Stop. One more step forward and you will die."
The newcomer stopped, and beneath the cloak, an old face wore a strange smile.
"Is that the Heavenly Dao Diagram? Not bad, not bad."
The man on the throne said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"Having heard that your death is imminent, I have come to see you one last time."
"I hate the way you talk."
"Each each other."
The cloaked man said, "Why don't we just stop?"
He laughed: "Can't keep calculating anymore, can you?"
The man on the throne said coldly, "If you came here specifically to laugh at me, then you can get lost."
"Don't be so heartless!"
The cloaked man turned around: "Where are your skilled subordinates?"
"what do you want to say in the end?"
The cloaked man said, "It's normal that I can't calculate it."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Hun Tiangang would rather seal your divine consciousness than abandon your ambition. Don't you hate that?"
"You don't actually think I'd go and provoke that guy just because of a few goading words from you, do you?"
"Of course not. But... he sealed his divine sense, broke the laws of the Heavenly Dao Diagram, and shattered the balance. You can't calculate anymore; the more you calculate, the more desperate you become, the more heartbroken you feel. After all the calculations, you discover that some wild brat who appeared out of nowhere has occupied your most important natal palace. Heh heh heh, you want to catch him, but he's tightly protected by the Five Elders, and there's also a lurking evil spirit who appears out of nowhere, causing trouble without any rhyme or reason..."
"enough!"
The man on the throne suddenly stood up: "As long as I capture Lu Chengwen, I can decipher this Heavenly Dao Diagram! I can then hold the fate of the world in my hands!"
"Oh? Why haven't you arrested him yet? Are you waiting until his child goes to college?"
I'm warning you one last time!
The man on the throne exuded a black battle aura that permeated the surroundings: "If you speak to me in that tone again, I will kill you without hesitation!"
"What would happen if one of the five old men died?"
"Ok?"
The black battle clouds surrounding the man on the throne vanished instantly. He suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at the newcomer and mocking, "You're a piece of trash who's been suppressed by the Five Elders your whole life, and you come here today to say such things? Aren't you ashamed? Hahahaha... Disappear one? How do you plan to make them disappear? Poison their bone-strengthening powder?"
The cloaked man's eyes were cold: "If one of them dies, the balance will be broken, and the Heavenly Dao Diagram will immediately change. It's just that you don't dare to do it. You're not sure how many tricks they still have, or how much strength they have left."
"You crouch here, scheming and hoping that one of them will die of a heart attack in his sleep."
"Before that, you didn't even dare to think about killing one of them."
The man on the throne roared, "And what about you?! You've been suppressed by them your whole life. Nominally, you're the Grand Dean of the Elder Council, but in reality? Do they ever treat you like a human being? All you can do is flaunt your power against the four great families. Oh, I forgot, the four great families probably don't have any respect for the Elder Council anymore, do they? The Elder Council has been hollowed out. You're just an empty shell, like prey being hunted by warlords. They still address you respectfully as Dean in name, but in reality... the younger generation doesn't respect you at all."
"Leaving aside others, that guy with the white front teeth, always thinking about being unconventional, when was the last time he went to the Elders' Council to pay his respects to you?"
"An old bastard who's lost everything still has the nerve to laugh at me!?"
The cloaked man lifted his cloak, revealing gray hair.
"I don't care about reputation."
He looked calmly at the man on the throne: "I don't care about good or evil."
"Tch." The man on the throne scoffed.
"What I care about are rules and regulations!"
The dean stared at him: "Now, although Tiangang has sealed his divine sense, his strength is still terrifying; Disha remains an uncontrollable variable, and judging from his activity level, he's unlikely to die anytime soon; Huang Tianyao has not only not regressed, but has become even stronger; Li Dabai is not even eighty years old yet, and he's hiding in the shadows watching your every move; as for the fishing old man and Antarctica... those two are always inseparable, searching for your whereabouts..."
The dean's voice grew increasingly somber:
"Only the 'Wine Jar' has suffered betrayal and abandonment, becoming disheartened and addicted to alcoholism for years, ruining his health. If he had hidden himself well, we naturally wouldn't have been able to do anything to him, but unfortunately, he showed himself. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The dean said, "If we can concentrate our strongest forces! All of them! All of them! Let's finish him off in one battle!"
The dean smiled, tilted his head, and his eyes gleamed with excitement:
“You can then prove to the world that the Five Old Men can also be killed! They are not gods! They cannot die a peaceful death! Their heads, left to rot and stink under the scorching sun, will be swarming with flies!”
The man on the throne stood up: "Do you think I'm the kind of fool you can use as a weapon just because you say a few words to me?"
"No. I think you're a coward who has an opportunity right in front of him but doesn't dare to take the chance."
The dean turned around and walked out, saying indifferently, "Pretend I was never here."
The man on the throne looked at him.
The dean did not stop for a moment; he walked very slowly, just as slowly as he had come.
However, he had already reached the front door.
The man on the throne suddenly spoke up: "How do you know he's not the same as he used to be?"
The dean stopped, without turning his head:
"He claims to possess some kind of invisible true energy, unparalleled in the world. But... now his invisible true energy is not as useful as his disciple's. Even one of my newly promoted, dim-witted elders can easily detect his true energy."
The dean turned around: "Ten years ago, who could have sensed his invisible true energy?!"
The man on the throne said with a grim face, "If you dare to lie to me, you're dead."
"Not only will I not lie to you, but I will also lend you a helping hand."
"Oh? You're planning to get involved yourself?"
"Did you get it?"
"Heh, I bet you wouldn't dare."
"However, he is the only one among the five elders who only possesses a single-attribute true qi! Taking advantage of his old age, as long as we can restrain his fire attribute... he won't even have a chance to turn the tables!"
"How are you going to help me?"
"Extreme Cold Cover".
The man on the throne turned cold, then laughed: "As long as I have the Extreme Cold Shield, I can kill one of the Five Elders."
"As long as you kill one of them..."
The dean said, "I can capture Lu Chengwen alive for you."
"If you dare to play me..."
"My hatred for them is no less than yours."
The man on the throne sat down: "I need to make plans, and you'll have to help."
"of course."
