None of the three Eastern Heavenly Kings died. Although Gu Qiankun even used a Heavenly-grade weapon to kill them, the leaders of the other three major forces had long been prepared, causing Gu Qiankun to miss his target.
The leader of the Xing Tian Department captured the Eastern Heavenly King, the Great Shaman of the Dead Souls captured the Northern Heavenly King, and the Western Heavenly King fell into the hands of Tian Xiang.
Almost instantly, the three top powerhouses began to search the memories of the Eastern Heavenly King and the other two. Their powerful divine senses invaded fiercely.
Meanwhile, Gu Qiankun’s face was terrifyingly grim, his killing intent reaching a frightening level. The surging blood energy turned the entire sky blood red.
"Heh, Gu Divine Lord has such deep schemes!"
The Great Shaman of the Dead Souls suddenly sneered, and the Northern Heavenly King he had captured instantly turned to dust. A terrifying wave of rage erupted.
The leader of the Xing Tian Department and Tian Xiang said nothing, both killing the Eastern Heavenly King and Western Heavenly King in their hands almost simultaneously.
They knew everything.
The Gu Divine Department had secretly established the Black Robe Alliance, hunted geniuses, plundered origins, and monitored the entire Manzhou.
Who would have thought that Manzhou’s number one and most powerful force would do such a thing?
The Great Shaman of the Dead Souls couldn't help but erupt on the spot. He thought of the prodigy from their Western Alliance Department in ancient times.
That person had been assassinated by the Gu Divine Department back then.
Initially, the Gu Divine Department's power had made the Western Alliance Department swallow their anger. However, upon learning of the relationship between the Black Robe Alliance and the Gu Divine Department today, and knowing that the Gu Divine Department was still hunting geniuses in secret, the Great Shaman of the Dead Souls immediately lost control of himself.
"Gu Qiankun, the Gu Divine Department needs to give us an explanation for this, an explanation for Manzhou!"
The leader of the Xing Tian Department said in a deep voice, addressing Gu Qiankun by name.
Although the major forces in Manzhou were secretly in conflict, they all had a bottom line.
No indiscriminate killing of innocents, no deliberate elimination of geniuses.
Yet, what the Gu Divine Department was doing, controlling the Black Robe Alliance to hunt down all geniuses and plunder their origins, was simply insane.
They were annihilating the future of Manzhou!
Those who died probably didn't even know why they died!
"Heh, even we demons wouldn't do such a thing."
Tian Xiang said with a mocking smile. If it were between enemies, one trying to eliminate the other, she would understand.
But what the Gu Divine Department was doing was without any reason. As long as you were a genius, they would kill you.
"In the end, they are just some ants. After today, I, this Divine Lord, will give you an explanation."
Gu Qiankun said with a cold face, no longer bothering to quibble.
"Ants? Divine Lord Gu, was the one from my Western Alliance Department in those years also an ant?!"
The Great Shaman of the Dead Souls shouted, his rage boiling.
"Hmph!"
Gu Qiankun snorted and did not respond. Instead, he spoke.
"The Black Robe Alliance has never acted against your tribes. They only killed people from small and medium-sized tribes. You suffered no losses!"
"After today, my Gu Divine Department will go into seclusion and only emerge when the heavens and earth are completely perfected."
"Furthermore, I don't believe you will oppose my Gu Divine Department for this matter. After all, those who died were just unimportant people."
"What's going on?! Is what Li Xiaotian said true? How is this possible? Was the Black Robe Alliance really established by the Gu Divine Department?"
At this moment, across the various regions of the War Domain, countless martial artists were filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible?! Why? Why would the Gu Divine Department do this?"
"Heh, those who died were all ants? The son of my clan leader, a hundred-year-old Emperor level expert, was he also an ant?"
"This is the Gu Divine Department? The number one force in our Manzhou? Our guardian god?"
"Why? Can anyone tell me why? Should people from our small tribes just die?"
"The Gu Divine Department deserves to die!! Gu Qiankun, go to hell!!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! My daughter, my daughter, you died so tragically!!"
"Our guardian god is actually hunting our geniuses!"
"Heh, heavens, this is too ridiculous, Gu Divine Department, shameless, hateful!!"
At this moment, countless martial artists were shouting and cursing, their faces flushed with anger.
Everything that happened today had a huge impact on them.
Especially those who had relatives or friends killed by the Black Robe Alliance, they were now like lunatics.
As for Li Xiaotian's side, the strong figures of Manzhou were not particularly angry.
Of course, the Great Shaman of the Dead Souls was an exception. But even though he was angry, he was not impulsive, not even showing a trace of killing intent.
Just as Gu Qiankun said, those who died were just ants.
And the Great Shaman of the Dead Souls was merely reminded of the fallen prodigy from their Western Alliance Department in ancient times because of this matter.
"So, Divine Lord Gu means that we shouldn't care about what the Black Robe Alliance did?"
The leader of the Xing Tian Department said, his eyes complex.
The Gu Divine Department would go into seclusion from today onwards, giving up the position of Manzhou's number one. Was this a sign of submission?
"Yes, let's pretend nothing happened. The Gu Divine Department will give all of you satisfactory compensation."
Gu Qiankun said unhurriedly, then continued.
"Gu Divine Essence Blood, Heavenly Weapons, cultivation techniques, and the combined combat techniques of my Gu Divine Department's Giant Legion. Whatever compensation you desire, as long as the Gu Divine Department can provide it, we will give it to you."
Hearing this, the eyes of the strong figures present all flickered. Gu Qiankun was offering too much to resolve this matter.
This was preparation for a major出血 (bleeding)! Daifeng Novel Network
Even Li Xiaotian couldn't help but gasp secretly. Had his plan to tarnish the Gu Divine Department's reputation been resolved just like that by this old fellow Gu Qiankun?
Moreover, the method of resolution was so overbearing and direct, using money to solve it!
"Hmph! Divine Lord Gu, it's easy for you to ask us not to pursue this matter, but the entire world knows about today's events. If we agree to you, how will the world view us? Are the strong figures of Manzhou all hypocrites who put on a pious front?"
The Great Shaman of the Dead Souls snorted, his voice filled with mockery.
"The world? No, you are wrong. The world does not know. Only those of us present in the War Domain know."
Gu Qiankun replied unhurriedly. For some reason, everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
Gu Qiankun's indifferent attitude made them a little wary.
"How do you plan to resolve it? Buy off everyone in the War Domain?"
The Great Shaman of the Dead Souls asked.
"Kill them! At most, a few hundred thousand ants. For Manzhou, the death of a few hundred thousand ants is inconsequential."
Gu Qiankun said coldly, his eyes extremely chilling.
At this moment, everyone present, as well as everyone across the various regions of the War Domain, couldn't help but feel cold all over.
They were all horrified.
Hundreds of thousands of martial artists, simply because Gu Qiankun wanted to resolve the impact the Black Robe Alliance had brought to the Gu Divine Department, they were killed just like that?!!
"This matter, you don't need to act. After killing Li Xiaotian, I will personally lead my men to do it. Moreover, all the spoils from this operation, my Gu Divine Department will not take a single share, and will give it all to all of you."
Gu Qiankun said.
I will be the villain, you take the benefits, and all you need to do is remain silent.
At this moment, the scene fell silent, without a single sound.
Everyone was stunned by Gu Qiankun's plan.
"Heh heh, old fellow, I have to admire you. It seems they have all agreed to your plan."
Suddenly, Li Xiaotian spoke, his tone full of mockery.
"I must say, you are the most ruthless person I have ever met, and the most disgusting!"
"Hmph! If it weren't for your meddling, how would things have turned out like this today?"
Gu Qiankun snorted, his tone filled with hatred.
His Gu Divine Department had suffered too great a loss today! It was making his heart bleed!
"Everyone, you can make your move now, right?"
Gu Qiankun shouted at the crowd, his aura instantly surging.
Seeing this, the powerful figures present remained silent, but waves of killing intent locked onto Li Xiaotian.
Clearly, they had agreed to Gu Qiankun's approach.
They were indeed quite angry about what the Gu Divine Department had directed the Black Robe Alliance to do, but now, it seemed to no longer matter.
The Gu Divine Department would give them satisfactory compensation, enough to satisfy everyone present.
Moreover, they suffered no losses, didn't have to be the bad guys afterward, and even gained quite a bit.
Why wouldn't they accept such a good deal?
Just as Gu Qiankun had said earlier, it was all just the death of a bunch of ants.
Yes, a bunch of ants.
"Kill!"
After sensing everyone's agreement, Gu Qiankun smiled and was the first to attack Li Xiaotian.
At the same time, the other seven powerful figures also made their moves. At this moment, none of them held back.
They only wanted to quickly deal with Li Xiaotian, then get the compensation from the Gu Divine Department, and let today's matter pass as soon as possible.
"What's going on?? Have all the lords agreed?? How is this possible?!"
"Why are they attacking Li Xiaotian again? Why aren't they killing the Gu Divine Department?"
"Did those lords really agree to Gu Qiankun's plan? Oh heavens, they've gone mad, they've all gone mad. To protect the Gu Divine Department's reputation, are all of us supposed to die?"
"No, we can't die. Escape! Escape and expose the Gu Divine Department's actions to the world. I don't believe the Gu Divine Department can kill everyone in Manzhou?!"
At this moment, the War Domain was in chaos, and everyone had gone mad.
The Gu Divine Department's strongholds in the War Domain were almost instantly destroyed by the enraged martial artists. None of the Gu Divine Department members present could escape.
At the same time, at the exit of the War Domain, countless people were desperately trying to break through.
However, two overlords were stationed there, and no one could break through their blockade.
As for Li Xiaotian's side, terrifying combat fluctuations were destroying everything, with spatial rifts everywhere and devastation all around.
"Kill!!!"
Despite being besieged by eight top overlords, Li Xiaotian fought more and more ferociously.
His heart was filled with rage and killing intent.
Gu Qiankun's actions angered him, and the silence of the strong figures from Manzhou present made his anger erupt even further.
These people all deserved to die!!!
