I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

However, above the nine sects of the human race, there is the Tower of Heaven.

The news quickly reached the mountaintop, startling the six Grand Luo Dao Masters there.

"The Supreme Ruler of Heaven? A realm of divine power?"

If it weren't for the preceding light of punishment and that shout, they would have thought it was a joke.

Of course, making jokes about the Heavenly Court is a taboo in the upper realm.

The Great Luo Dao Master's heart burned with excitement; the human race of Baiyujing was about to take off!

“Everyone, you have already mastered the Great Dao. This Lord of Heaven is of no use to you except for two divine methods.”

At this moment, Gu Tongjin, the leader of the Other Shore Cult, appeared. He had just received a message from the old cult leader when he heard the news that Shen Ming was the ruler of the Heavenly Court.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, is this Lord of Heaven the one you want us to deal with?"

The twelve Great Luo Dao Masters all came from the same sect leader. The one who spoke was the eldest brother, named Tianyi.

"That's right." Gu Tongjin didn't hide anything.

"We're going to deal with the Lord of Heaven?!"

"What if the Light of Punishment strikes down?!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Although Shen Ming was only at the Divine Realm, the Light of Punishment was no joke.

Even if there were only a one in ten thousand chance, they wouldn't dare to take the risk.

"Hmph, if that's the case, then the Demon Court, the Immortal Court, and the Divine Court should simply abdicate and hand over the Heavenly Realm."

If he had that ability, would he need to come all the way to Baiyujing?

Moreover, what I need is not your intervention, but the overall momentum!

Gu Tongjin was indignant and said, "Punish him, incite everyone in the Longevity Tower to be hostile, and then I will take action! At that time, the Divine Court will give you everything you want."

The Great Luo Dao Masters looked at each other, and to be honest, they didn't want to make a choice at this critical juncture; they wanted to observe first.

"Don't forget, you've already received benefits and agreed to deal with this person!" Gu Tongjin said coldly.

"That's because you didn't tell us he's the ruler of Heaven!" Tianyi shouted.

"It's just a publicity stunt. I'm threatening to kill him now, but what punishment will I face?! We're not afraid of the Divine Court, so what are you afraid of?" Gu Tongjin said with dissatisfaction.

Tianyi stopped his fellow disciples from speaking, saying, "Fellow Daoist Gu, please allow us to discuss this first."

"Alright, time waits for no one! We need to hurry!"

Gu Tongjin also wanted to get things done as soon as possible, thinking to himself: as long as the Great Luo Dao Master doesn't take action, he can easily deal with Shen Ming.

At this point, it's unlikely that any more demons from the Demon Court will cause trouble.

He considered all the possibilities to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After Gu Tongjin excused himself, Tianyi showed no intention of discussing with his junior brothers and said directly, "You all return to Tongtian Tower."

The other five Great Luo Dao Masters immediately realized what he was about to do.

Tianyi agreed to Gu Tongjin's request and ordered the nine clans of the human race to punish Shen Ming.

“It is not my will. We cannot afford to offend either the Divine Court or the Heavenly Court. Moreover, when this Lord of the Heavenly Court fell into the hands of the Demon Court, we remained indifferent and promised the Lord of the Other Shore. Now we are entangled in karma.”

If the Divine Court prevails, then all will be well.

If this son of Heaven wins, I will personally offer my punishment to atone for my sins, so as not to implicate you all.”

Such a choice is not about right or wrong, but about analyzing the pros and cons and making the optimal solution.

"We humans from the lower realms have established ourselves in Baiyujing because of the continuous sacrifices of our predecessors who protected the majority. It's just that today it's my turn," Tianyi said.

The other Dao Lords, though they had the words on the tip of their tongues, didn't know how to say them; there really wasn't a better way.

They had no choice but to leave one by one.

When only Tianyi remained, Gu Tongjin returned.

"Hmph, betting on both sides, pleasing neither." Gu Tongjin saw that he was alone and immediately understood Tongtianlou's plan, and was very dissatisfied.

After it's all done, you expect a reward for your disloyalty? Dream on!

"This is just preserving hope and a spark."

Tian shook his head, offering no further explanation.

"Alright, let's begin," Gu Tongjin said impatiently.

Even a Grand Luo Dao Master can achieve their own goals.

Tianyi took a deep breath and rose into the air.

……

In the lower city, various immortal sects were trying to establish a relationship with Shen Mingpan, hoping to have their disciples learn the methods of the divine path.

The Taihao Sect Leader even ran up to Linghu Tian and said, "The next sect leader will be from your Sword Sect."

Linghu Tian was greatly surprised, as the Qi Sect had been in the lead for years, and their advantage had snowballed.

"In the end, we are all doing this for the good of the Taihao Sect," said the Taihao Sect Leader.

Meanwhile, the leader of Tianquan Sect was caught in a dilemma.

The Heavenly Court will definitely absorb half of the nine sects of the human race and exclude the other half.

Based on his behavior just now, he must be the other half.

Just then, a muffled, thunderous sound came from the mountaintop.

"Shen Ming of the human race betrayed humanity, preached his doctrines to the Demon Court, and plunged our human race into misery. He deserves to die a thousand deaths. Capture him and punish him. The Tower of Heaven will reward him handsomely!"

The whole city was immediately in an uproar.

The Tianquan Sect Leader laughed loudly, and the Great Luo Dao Master's statement was the final word for the human race.

The nine sect leaders, who had just been smiling at Shen Ming, immediately distanced themselves from him.

"Linghu, let's keep this sect leader position in our Qi Sect," said Sect Leader Taihao.

"..." Linghu Tian was speechless. Your change of expression is too fast.

"Don't move! I'm going to ask Master!"

With a loud shout, the Crimson Light Dao Master set off for the mountain peak.

As a result, he had barely flown a hundred meters when an unstoppable pressure pushed him back down.

"Shen Ming, we meet again."

The Other Shore Cult Master Gu Tongjin appeared. He was no match for the Demon Emperor, but he was on par with the Great Luo Dao Master and was much stronger than these Dao Masters.

"It was you again? Is that all you know how to do?"

Shen Ming was still wondering if that Great Luo Dao Master had gone mad, but after seeing him, he immediately understood.

"You are both Great Luo Dao Masters, so why did you persuade the Demon Court and the Tongtian Tower to attack me separately?" Shen Ming couldn't help but ask.

"Do you really think it's a coincidence that you've survived to this day? It's the will of Heaven that has been imposed upon you, and the Demon Court is the best example of that."

Speaking of this, Gu Tongjin gets angry.

For no apparent reason, Yao Yao, the Howling Moon Demon God, and the Burning Heaven Demon God blocked her way.

Fortunately, the human race is relatively easy to control.

"Does anyone want to help him?"

Gu Tongjin's gaze swept over the Dao Lords present, making sure that the same thing would not happen again.

Those Dao Lords who met his gaze all lowered their heads, except for the Crimson Light Dao Lord, who looked unwilling.

"Master of the Other Shore, this is Bai Yujing's private matter..." he said, forcing himself to speak.

"roll!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Tongjin slapped him away.

"Who do you think you are? This is a matter between him and the Divine Court!"

He was both ancient and modern, but he was still quite annoyed.

Then, he looked at Shen Ming again and said mockingly, "Lord of Heaven, let me see what you're capable of."

“Simple, look behind you,” Shen Ming said.

"...You're not thinking that I'll turn around and then you'll run away, are you? You're really out of ideas." Gu Tongjin couldn't help but laugh.

quack quack.

As it turned out, there was indeed a noise behind him, which sounded like bones grinding together.
