A single remark awakens the drears, voices filled with deep regret and pleas echo, the upper echelons all displaying a look of remorse, weeping sorrowfully.
"Elder Li! We were wrong! It's us who have wronged you!"
"Elder Li, we were forced into it! What Xu Ye did was too significant! We couldn't handle it!"
"Elder Li, you have been with the Six Gods for so many years, and I've never respected anyone but you! Now that we've made a mistake, I beg you not to let the Six Gods be destroyed for the sake of our past collaboration!"
"Indeed, we are at your disposal, Elder Li, but please, for the sake of old tis, don't destroy the Six Gods!"
...
One must admit, Azure Dragon is incredibly smart and slick, quickly finding the only breakthrough, the old undying one!
Everything Xu Fan did was to seek justice for the old undying one. Since that was the case, Azure Dragon gave Xu Fan enough face! Azure Dragon knew the old undying one too well! He listens to reason, not force! He values emotions greatly!
Since the old undying one values emotions, Azure Dragon will talk about emotions with him!
However, what made Azure Dragon uneasy was that despite the upper echelons collectively being online, performing spectacularly, crying bitterly, and moving the scene, the old undying one showed no reaction.
Could it be... today's events have struck him too deeply, and he has lost all hope in the Six Gods?
In Azure Dragon's heart, an unprecedented sense of regret and fear rose. If the old undying one does not forgive the Six Gods, not only will the upper echelons surely die, but the Six Gods will also inevitably beco Xu Fan's target, bearing Xu Fan's wrath on behalf of the Taoists.
Although Azure Dragon is not afraid of Xu Fan, and the Six Gods have enough confidence to contend with any superpower in Huaxia, the point is... there is no need!
Unless absolutely necessary, who would want to fight to the death with soone like Xu Fan, the god of slaughter? Especially when Azure Dragon believes Xu Fan must have a trump card, or even an organization conducting a profound hunt against the Taoists! Under such circumstances, how could Azure Dragon be willing to wage war against Xu Fan?
Now, everything hinges on the old undying one's attitude!
As long as the old undying one nods, forgives the Six Gods, and agrees to resolve the grievances, then all will end happily! But if the old undying one shakes his head, Azure Dragon will have to cry, accepting the consequences of his choices even through tears.
In reality, the old undying one did not intend to burn bridges. The reason he ignored the cries of the upper echelons was simply because he was already dazed.
When the old undying one saw Xu Fan advancing step by step towards the upper echelons, his heart was filled with emotion. If the heavens have destined him to die today, then dying alongside his only disciple doesn't seem too bad.
The old undying one had made up his mind to die with Xu Fan. As for what he owed to Xu Fan, it would have to be repaid in the next life...
However, the developnt of events went completely beyond the old undying one's expectations. As Xu Fan walked step by step towards the upper echelons, he did so in an overwhelming manner, like a martial arts master entering a kindergarten, dissolving the strongest attack of the upper echelons with a single punch!
This event alone brought a complete shock to the old undying one, and when he saw Azure Dragon appear, Xu Fan once again, in a kingly posture, sent Azure Dragon retreating with a single punch, the old undying one was left in disbelief.
When did my disciple beco so strong?
Wasn't Xu Fan still in the Entering Dao Realm just a few days ago? How did he suddenly reach Vajra Realm? And at the peak of Vajra Realm at that? What's crucial is, how can soone at the peak of Vajra Realm possibly repel a super strong one at the Mysterious Light Realm?
When incredible things happen, like an elentary school student lifting a huge truck, the onlookers will be shocked, but most would only click their tongues in surprise, a feeling not shared by those close, like a teacher who disciplined the student harshly that very morning.
The current mood of the old undying one is like that teacher who saw their student lift a truck.
The difference is, while the teacher might worry about getting beaten, fearing for their safety, the old undying one saw light from the shadows of death.
"Elder Li..."
Slowly, the old undying one ca out of his shock, scenes of the upper echelons kneeling and begging, crying bitterly began to surface, while flattery filled his ears.
All of this made the old undying one feel dreamlike, especially when he noticed that even that one with the highest status in the Six Gods was now cautiously looking at him, with a hint of pleading in their eyes.
"Am I... dreaming?"
However, as the old undying one turned his gaze to the corpses, when he saw Xu Fan's fists dripping with blood and his face cold as frost, the old undying one was jolted from his doubts.
Rising from the dead was not a dream, but sothing Xu Fan physically punched into existence!
Betrayal, expulsion, humiliation... scenes not too distant appeared before the old undying one's eyes, looking at the kneeling upper echelons, leaving the old undying one wanting to scold them thoroughly before departing elegantly with Xu Fan!
However, this thought appeared for just a mont before the old undying one snuffed it out.
In middle age, one starts to consider many things, and the old undying one with his white hair certainly thought of more.
Although today the Six Gods compromised, and although Xu Fan's strength exceeded his expectations, Xu Fan's crisis still isn't resolved; the Taoists remain like a sharp sword hanging over Xu Fan's head.
If they fall out with the Six Gods now, it would only add to Xu Fan's troubles! This is sothing the old undying one absolutely cannot accept!
"Elder Li... the previous matter was due to my oversight, not anticipating such an occurrence."
When the old undying one saw Azure Dragon standing respectfully before him, apologizing, his heart was filled with a mixture of wonder and cold disappointnt, as he silently made a decision.
"Minister, I have not taken today's events to heart. He Guang and the other upper echelons, I believe, did not understand the true aning of the minister's orders, which led to their mistakes."
Upon hearing the old undying one finally speak and forgive the Six Gods, Azure Dragon felt a wave of relief, and the upper echelons were awash with tears, feeling as if they had once again escaped from King Yan's grasp.
However, the exceedingly formal address and the calm deanor of the old undying one left Azure Dragon faintly uneasy.
"Elder Li is a pillar of the Six Gods, and today's injustice against him is the Six Gods' failure towards Elder Li! Whatever Elder Li requires, just ask! It stands as compensation from the Six Gods!"
Gritting his teeth, Azure Dragon attempted to use this ans to quell the anger in the old undying one's heart. Experiencing this calamity, even at so cost, would be worth it!
However, Azure Dragon noticed the old undying one gave him a look of contempt, and the words coming from his mouth left Azure Dragon utterly shocked!
"Minister, there's no need for courtesy. I have no requests, however... does the Minister rember what you promised before?"
