Gu Changqing looked at Zhou Dacheng in surprise. “Saint?”

It was a huge title so Gu Changqing thought he was exaggerating. A Saint existed in this realm? What a joke. He did not believe it.

The Holy Emperor said, “Elder Gu, don’t you think the rain is strange?”

Gu Changqing looked up at the sky. A flash of light lit up the sky in an instant, followed by a rumble of thunder.

“It is indeed strange.”

The Azure Ville Demon Lockdown Grand Ceremony required fire for the demon entrance sealing spell. They did some pre-planning so that it would not rain. However, it was suddenly raining cats and dogs.

The Holy Emperor continued, “Have you ever heard of the weather changing when Saints are upset?”

Gu Changqing stared at him in disbelief. Was the rain caused by the anger of the expert?

The weather changed because he was angry? What kind of existence was that?

He breathed heavily and felt chills. At the same time, he could not believe it. How could this be? It was…impossible!

He walked back and forth in the main hall because he was emotional. He looked like he was having a hard time deciding.

‘On one hand, is a seemingly Godlike expert. On the other hand is the Liu Family who have Immortals. Should I do it?

‘What type of character does the expert want me to be? If we offend the Liu Family, can the expert handle the Liu Family Immortals?’

He could not make up his mind. He took a deep breath and said, “May I visit the expert before I make my decision?”

The Holy Emperor smiled. “Ha, look at the weather. Do you think the expert is in the mood for a visit? Take the job. Maybe it’ll please the expert and he’ll be willing to see you!”

“Gu Changqing, if you don’t dare to do it just say so. We’re giving you the opportunity of a lifetime but you’re chickening out? What kind of cultivator are you? We wouldn’t have shared this opportunity with you if my Sect Master wasn’t in a retreat!” Zhou Dacheng sneered, “Fine, the Linxian Palace can do it without you anyway. Let’s go!”

“Cultivator Zhou, please don’t get angry. It’s just that this case is serious and it’ll affect the entire Immortal Realm. Naturally, I have to be considerate.”

Gu Changqing hurriedly added on, “Even if we have to kill the Liu Family, it should be done after the sealing is complete. The seal will be done by tonight. Why don’t you all stay for the night? I’ll give you an answer by then.”

Zhou Dacheng walked out of the palace. He said in a hateful tone, “Coward, how boring!”

Qin Manyun and the others walked out, too. They sat under a nearby pavilion.

Qin Manyun smiled and said, “Okay, relax. Elder Gu has been handling the demon entrance sealing all these years. It’s a big responsibility. It made him more careful. If we want him to kill off the Liu Family just because we said so, it is indeed unrealistic. We need to give him time.”

The Holy Emperor frowned. “Are we going to let him visit the expert? It’s inappropriate. I’m worried that the expert would be annoyed.”

Zhou Dacheng said, “No can do. All we need to do is bring out the Linxian Palace! The Sect Master’s in a retreat, but we’re still a force to be reckoned with. We can handle the Liu Family!”

“We definitely shouldn’t disturb the expert at a time like this!” said Qin Manyun hurriedly. She groaned and sighed.”Sigh, all we want is to help the expert but we can’t even handle something so simple?”

Everyone frowned.

Gu Changqing was struggling hard, too. He called upon the Gu siblings to help him.

He had a feeling that this decision was extremely crucial. On one hand, gold. On the other hand, painful agonizing failure!

He achieved success because he was cautious all these years. He made all the right decisions and got to where he was. He even made Azure Ville a success, too!

Time slipped by and it was getting dark.

Splash!

The rain had no signs of stopping. Many areas started to flood and the river was overflowing.

The crowded high tower was no longer crowded. Everyone hid in their rooms and went to sleep.

Gu Changqing was agitated. He levitated above the palace in the rain and looked upon Azure Ville.

He reached out to touch the rain. He felt anxious. Would the rain keep pouring if he did not kill the Liu Family? Was Azure Ville going to drown?

No way, it must be a coincidence!

He looked towards the dark mountain and frowned.

It was alright if he died because he made the wrong decision, but who would seal the demon entrance from now on?

Suddenly, he frowned.

Huh?

Something moved in the dark.

He was alert and focused his eyes.

Something was indeed moving!

The dark figure blended with the darkness, creeping toward the levitating red flag.

His blood boiled. He yelled at the top of his lungs, “Thief! How dare you do that in Azure Ville. Die!”

He flew toward the dark figure in a flash!

It woke everyone up. Qin Manyun and the others all looked at each other in shock. Then, they instantly went to check on it.

The dark figure jolted, too. It stared menacingly at the incoming Gu Changqing.

It shrieked and turned itself into a black ball and rolled toward the small red flag!

Vroom!

The dark figure went through the flames and groaned painfully.

However, it made it to the small red flag.

“Rat! You dare?!” Gu Changqing yelled. There was a ring of fire in his hand. It expanded as six more fire rings appeared, shooting toward the dark figure like comets!
