In the Alliance meeting hall, everyone was utterly shocked by the formidable aura that Gu Qijue exuded.
Upon sensing the powerful force emanating from him, originating from the Blood Dragon Nine Ancestors, several people in the hall turned pale.
After exchanging glances, they made an unexpected yet rational decision.
Even with the impending battle, they chose to engage in internal conflict first!
Since Gu Qijue is a remnant of the Blood Dragon Race, he must die.
If Gu Qijue doesn't die, then it will certainly be them!
More than eight strong individuals stood up immediately.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The powerful individuals who had been hidden before, and not present in the meeting hall, burst through the hall.
Including the previous eight, there were now three Great Emperors and nineteen Quasi-Emperors!
These people had all made significant contributions in the battle to annihilate the Blood Dragon Race.
With Gu Qijue being a remnant of the Blood Dragon Race, there was a deep and irreconcilable blood feud between him and them.
No matter if Gu Qijue resonates with the Emperor Star Will, or how powerful he currently is.
The only path before Gu Qijue is death!
Gu Qijue didn't expect these guys to lose patience so quickly.
Moreover, the powerful ones hidden in the shadows had rallied immediately.
Facing three Great Emperors and nineteen Quasi-Emperors, any Great Emperor might suffocate.
It's not a question of whether he can fight them, but whether he can escape.
But Gu Qijue did not flee; instead, he walked to his seat and poured himself a glass of red wine.
Though the two patriarchs of the Alliance held no goodwill towards Gu Qijue, and were even critical of him concerning the Blood God Crystal matter,
with the great battle imminent, they still chose to speak up for him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our war with Celestial Sword Mountain is about to commence."
"Why engage in mutual slaughter at this time?"
"Why can't we sit down and talk things over slowly?"
An old ancestor of Emperor Tier from the Cultivation Continent said indifferently, "The Blood Dragon Race is inherently bloodthirsty. Back then, if we hadn't combined forces to annihilate them, the Emperor Star would not have seen its current prosperity."
"Most of the living beings on Emperor Star would have been slaughtered by the Blood Dragon Race."
This strong person, known as the Purple Heaven Sword Emperor, donned a purple cloak, with purple pupils and beard, appeared rather sinister.
The Purple Heaven Sword Emperor's words were obviously slandering the Blood Dragon Race.
Although the Blood Dragon Race was bloodthirsty, they were not so idle as to kill just for the sake of it.
All those present were old foxes of thousands of years, certainly not taking the Purple Heaven Sword Emperor's words at face value.
Gu Qijue did not bother to explain the Purple Heaven Sword Emperor's defamation, feeling no need to explain anything to dead men.
Not explaining, the two patriarchs of the Alliance had to urge him again.
"Everyone, with the great battle imminent, we fight among ourselves, causing such a great commotion—wouldn't we become a laughingstock for people of Celestial Sword Mountain?"
"Listen to this old man's advice, prioritize peace. After the war ends, we can discuss anything."
The Purple Heaven Sword Emperor spoke coldly, "There is nothing to discuss with remnants of the Blood Dragon Race."
Having said this, the Purple Heaven Sword Emperor coldly repeated, "Uninvolved people should back off, otherwise don't blame us for treating you as accomplices of the Blood Dragon remnants!"
He was obviously referring to Ji Tianyue who stood shoulder to shoulder with Gu Qijue.
Many thought that if Ji Tianyue was sensible, he should step aside now.
Three Great Emperors, nineteen Quasi-Emperors!
Such power was enough to make any Great Emperor perish on the spot!
After annihilating the Blood Dragon Race, the Purple Heaven Sword Emperor and others evidently made preparations for contingencies.
Fearing that remnants of the Blood Dragon Race might escape, they were ready to gather and annihilate any remnants at any time.
However, after the Purple Heaven Sword Emperor finished speaking, Ji Tianyue smiled and said, "You're right, I am indeed his accomplice. What can you do about it?"
The atmosphere in the meeting hall, already tense, became even more strained at this moment.
Nobody expected Ji Tianyue to make such an illogical choice under these circumstances.
Of course, if they knew what strength Gu Qijue possessed now, they'd realize who was truly irrational.
The Purple Heaven Sword Emperor nodded slightly, "Very well, Ji Tianyue, since you want to be buried with the remnants of the Blood Dragon Race, I won't stop you."
Having said this, he turned to Gu Qijue and said, "Xing Jue, or should I say Gu Qijue, do you wish to end things yourself, or shall we grant you that dignity?"
After the Purple Heaven Sword Emperor spoke, a Quasi-Emperor said, "In respect of your Great Emperor status, please commit suicide!"
Several other Quasi-Emperors also said at this moment, "Please commit suicide, maintaining some dignity and not implicating Demon Emperor Ji!"
The situation at the scene seemed very unfavorable for Gu Qijue.
Powerful figures from various factions of the Alliance also felt that for Gu Qijue, perhaps suicide was a decent choice.
At least this way, he could die with some dignity, instead of being beaten to death by three Great Emperors and nineteen Quasi-Emperors, leaving no body intact.
Initially, Gu Qijue wanted to offer them some dignity.
He planned to settle accounts after the great battle.
Unexpectedly, though he wished to grant them dignity, they did not desire it.
Upon discovering his true identity, they jumped out immediately.
In this way, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Sparing him the task of finding each one responsible for the Blood Dragon Race's vendettas.
As the tension reached a boiling point and was about to erupt, Ji Tianyue chuckled lightly, "Just kill a few unwise ones; the rest can still be useful."
Gu Qijue's eyes flickered as he asked, "How will they be useful?"
Ji Tianyue smiled, "Let them expend themselves against the Sword Qi River of Celestial Sword Mountain."
"So many Great and Quasi-Emperors detonating themselves within the Sword Qi River might directly blow it open."
Gu Qijue nodded, "Good idea, waste utilization is indeed a good option."
Such words were undoubtedly arrogant.
If Ji Tianyue didn't intervene this time, it would merely be Gu Qijue alone, facing three Great Emperors and nineteen Quasi-Emperors.
Those present could imagine countless ways for him to die but could not think of a single path for him to survive.
The Purple Heaven Sword Emperor laughed wildly at the sky, "This is the funniest joke I've heard in a thousand years."
"Though I don't know how you've reached the Emperor Level, having just entered it, how will you contend with three seasoned Great Emperors and nineteen Quasi-Emperors?"
"Since you do not desire dignity yourself, I shall grant you dignity!"
As the Purple Heaven Sword Emperor's words fell, he unsheathed his sword!
"Swoosh!"
This sword strike split the Alliance Base, resembling a small asteroid, directly in two!
The other powerful ones also made their moves at this moment.
And then, in the bewildered gaze of the higher-ups of the Alliance, the base was directly exploded.
This scene was undoubtedly absurd.
The Emperor Star Alliance Army stood in confrontation at the gate of Celestial Sword Mountain, then the place where the Alliance leaders held their meeting exploded.
