The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 254 The Four Great Saints
Shaking his head, the Thirty-Six Gates Guide wiped away all distracting thoughts in his mind. The battle for the throne had nothing to do with him, and those geniuses had nothing to do with him either. What he had to do now was to entertain Li Daoming well and build a good relationship with him.

Li Daoming is so amazing that he doesn't think anyone in this world can compete with him.

The opportunity to make friends with a future emperor is before him. If he doesn't seize it, he may regret it for the rest of his life.

After receiving the warm hospitality from the guide, Li Daoming and others accepted the guide's suggestion and temporarily stayed at the Thirty-Six Passes.

It’s not that the guide doesn’t have a location in the Thirty-Eight Passes Holy City, nor is it that the guide is unwilling to open the five-colored altar for them.

Although sending Li Daoming and the others directly to the Holy City of Thirty-Eight Passes would definitely violate the rules of the ancient road.

But if he could befriend Li Daoming, what would it matter if he violated some rules of Gulu? And this was not a serious problem, and he would not even be punished for doing so.

However, the matter that Gu Zun returned to the 37th checkpoint from the later checkpoints and conspired with the guides and protectors of the 37th checkpoint to attack Li Daoming was too big, and law enforcers and protectors would definitely come later.

Instead of rushing to the Holy City of Thirty-Eight Passes now, it is better to stay at the Thirty-Six Passes first.

Wait for the guide to report the matter, and then the law enforcers and protectors will come and resolve the matter before continuing on their journey.

Of course, the reason why Li Daoming agreed was not only because he didn't want to get into trouble in the future, but also because he had just broken through to the Saint King realm and wanted to find a quiet place to comprehend the realm he had just broken through.

Otherwise, he would not stay at the thirty-sixth level and wait for the law enforcers and protectors to come. At most, he would use the ultimate imperial weapon to break through the ancient road of the human race.

Five days later, at the City Lord's Mansion of the Thirty-Six Pass Holy City.

After receiving the message from the guide, Li Daoming ended his retreat and came to the City Lord's Mansion.

As he walked into the reception hall, five people in the hall looked at Li Daoming at the same time.

These five people are all unfathomable. Except for the Guide who is at the peak of Saint King, the other four are all powerful ones at the Great Sage realm.

Their aura was thick and deep. Although they did not show any unusual signs, Li Daoming could vaguely feel that there was an extremely terrifying power contained in their bodies. It was probably more powerful than the protector who was killed by him with the help of heavenly punishment.

When the four great saints saw Li Daoming approaching, they all cast their eyes on him, sizing him up and down with sharp gazes.

Facing the sharp gazes of the four great saints, an ordinary Saint King at the peak of his power would probably feel fear and tremble with trepidation.

But Li Daoming remained calm and fearless, looking at the four people calmly.

His strength is extremely terrifying, even if he has not reached the level of a Great Sage, he is almost there. Moreover, he can fight against the Nine Emperors' Shadows alone. He is confident that he is invincible, so he will naturally not be attracted by the gazes of the four people.

"What a talented young man! He is truly extraordinary!" A heroic middle-aged man was the first to retract his sharp gaze and expressed his admiration.

"Well! He is indeed extraordinary. No wonder he was able to use the Holy King's catastrophe to destroy the Ancient Lord and that old immortal." A woman with a veil, whose real face could not be seen, looked at Li Daoming with kindness.

There was also a hint of disdain and hostility in his words towards Gu Zun and the protectors behind him.

Seeing the two men's actions, the remaining two great saints retracted their sharp gazes and spoke out their approval.

However, Li Daoming vaguely felt that one of the great saints seemed to be insincere and even had a hint of hostility towards him.

Although the hostility was well hidden, he was extremely sensitive. Although he could not directly see into the other party's mind, he could faintly feel the other party's attitude towards him. "Four great saints, three are friendly to me, and one is hostile to me?" Li Daoming made a judgment in his mind.

After talking with the four great saints for a while, Li Daoming learned that Gu Zun and the Protector had violated the rules of the Ancient Road and returned to the previous checkpoint to rob and kill him. His counterattack to kill Gu Zun and the Protector caused a sensation in the Ancient Road.

After discussions among many guides, law enforcers, and protectors, these four people came to investigate and make the final judgment.

After they investigated thoroughly, they all felt that Gu Zun and the protectors behind him had violated the rules of the ancient road and deserved to be killed by Li Daoming.

Well, their actions violated the rules of Gulu, and the person was already dead, so naturally no one would speak for them.

However, the four of them had different opinions about Li Daoming.

Three of them believed that Li Daoming was not guilty, and that Li Daoming had been schemed against by the Ancient Lord and the protectors because of the poor supervision and protection of the ancient road, and that he should be compensated.

One of them, the one whom Li Daoming felt was hostile to him, believed that Li Daoming should not undergo the tribulation in the Thirty-Seven Passes Holy City. Li Daoming destroyed the Thirty-Seven Passes Holy City and killed countless trial-takers and residents. He should be arrested and punished, or at least expelled from the Ancient Road.

Three to one, and this reason is totally untenable. The final decision is naturally that Li Daoming is not guilty and should be compensated.

At this time, after hearing the three great saints casually narrate the process of their investigation, discussion and debate, and then seeing the ugly face of the great saint who was hostile to him, Li Daoming smiled and thanked the three great saints.

He naturally knew why the three great saints revealed the process of their discussion.

One is to do him a favor. If they don't say anything, how will he know what they have done for him?
One is to remind him that the other great sage is hostile to him and cannot be trusted, so he should be careful when he meets him in the future to avoid being cheated by the great sage.

He had a long conversation with the three great sages and the guides. Except for the great sage who was excluded, it can be said that both the host and the guests had a great time.

After most of the day, everyone went their separate ways.

Li Daoming was about to leave and return to his residence, but at this moment, the Great Sage who looked heroic and extraordinary suddenly said, "I am Yang Cheng's grandfather. Would you like to talk to me alone?"

Hearing this, Li Daoming nodded slightly and took Yang Cheng's grandfather Yang Sheng back to the yard where he lived.

Although Li Daoming could feel that Yang Sheng had the blood of a holy body and did not think that Yang Sheng was fake and was deceiving him, to be on the safe side, he still called Yang Cheng and asked Yang Cheng to confirm Yang Sheng's identity.

After confirming Yang Sheng's identity and giving the two some time to talk alone, Li Daoming met with Yang Sheng alone.

"Senior, are you here this time because Yang Cheng is following me?" Li Daoming asked.

"No!" Yang Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "I know Yang Cheng's character. Since he chose to follow you, he has been convinced by you. This is his choice, and I will not interfere."

"Moreover, it may not be a blessing for Yang Cheng to follow you." When he said this, Yang Sheng couldn't help but feel emotional.

He had really never seen such a heaven-defying person. In his opinion, Li Daoming was the only one who could achieve enlightenment in this world, and no one could compete with him.

Although Yang Cheng is not bad and is the descendant with the richest holy blood in their Yang family in ten thousand years, it is still unclear whether he can break through to the Quasi-Emperor in the future.

If it isn’t a blessing, what else could it be to be able to follow a future great emperor?
