"Gui race?"
Li Mo muttered, recalling Heavenly Court's destruction.
The Gui ancestor was one of the generals that joined Heavenly Court. Back then, Heavenly Court ruled over half the universe.
In the vast universe, not a single race dared defy them.
But when the Heavenly Court collapsed, the Gui race, who was once a general of the Heavenly Court, refused to live and die with the Heavenly Court. Instead, he picked up the butcher's knife and rebelled against the Heavenly Court. He even killed many of the Heavenly Court's experts and stole some of the Heavenly Court's treasures.
That was how the Gui ancestor returned to the Gui race and led it to glory.
Gods had long lives, not to mention the Gui ancestor's cultivation.
Perhaps, that Yu Ancestor was still alive, gasping for breath.
Li Mo didn't have a good impression of the Gui race.
Li Mo asked in annoyance.
"What are they doing here?"
"Who knows? The Gui race is amazing now.
Back in the stronghold, I heard from the chief that the Gui race is in the top three of the Nine States' God Clans.
What right do we have to eavesdrop on their conversation? "
Long Qing shook his head.
But to everyone's surprise, Li Mo stepped into the grandpa's palace.
Feng Yuwei followed Li Mo calmly.
"Hey, Li Mo!"
Long Qing shouted anxiously.
Feng Yuwei was an immortal, and even more so a friend of the elder's.
'She can go in, but what are you doing here?
'Even if you're the strongest among the deacons, there are only immortals here.
'What's a Nascent Soul brat like you doing in a meeting of immortals?'
Not to mention Long Qing, even the others were looking at Li Mo.
Their heads were full of questions.
But because of Li Mo's power, they weren't familiar with him.
So none of them dared to question him like Long Qing.
Li Mo smiled, knowing what Long Qing was thinking.
"Entering Earth immortal requires elder to confer me the title of elder.
Do I have the right to enter? "
With that, Li Mo strode towards the palace.
Li Mo's voice was like thunder in a clear sky, ringing in everyone's ears.
"What?
He entered the Earth immortal stage! "
"Li Mo became an immortal?
Hasn't he been in the Elder Council for a year and a half? "
"How is this possible?"
Everyone started whispering to each other, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
What could he do in a year's time?
Some of them haven't even been promoted from emissaries to deacons, right?
Li Mo was promoted from envoy to elder?
The speed of his advancement left everyone in disbelief, but Long Qing could only let out a bitter laugh.
Long Qing trusted Li Mo's words, and even more so, his talent.
Watching Li Mo enter the palace, Long Qing felt powerless, muttering to himself.
"Back then, my cultivation base was higher than yours. But now, you've left me far behind."
But Long Qing knew he couldn't compare to Li Mo.
If not, Li Mo would kill him sooner or later.
Inside the palace, Elder Li Renlong was sitting on the main seat.
There were two rows of people sitting below. One row was occupied by the old woman and the Gui clansmen.
Sitting in the other row were the elders of Ling Xiao Mountain, led by Yu Xiao. Neither row of seats was full.
The interior of the huge palace was still cold and cheerless.
They were discussing something and were startled to see Li Mo.
Then, they all stopped discussing.
Outsiders couldn't see through Li Mo's cultivation, but these were all Earth immortals.
How could they not see through Li Mo's cultivation?
But Yu Xiao still scolded.
"How dare you, Li Mo!
As a lowly deacon, when the elders and the higher-ups of the Gui race were discussing matters, Li Mo, the Gui clansmen, and Yu Xiao Mountain stood up.
Do you have the right to enter? "
You may be an immortal now and have the right to be Ling Xiao Mountain's elder.
But before the elder made you an elder, you were just a deacon.
At best, you would be a deacon in the Earth immortal realm.
"Great Elder, Li Mo is also a member of the Elder Council.
Given his cultivation, he should have the right to listen in on our discussion, right? "
Dongfang Yibai curled his lip in annoyance.
"Humph!"
Feng Yuwei snorted unhappily and glared at Yu Xiao with her beautiful eyes.
Then she found a seat and sat down.
Feng Yuwei wasn't even a Jiuli clansman. To be precise, she wasn't even a human.
So speaking of qualifications, Feng Yuwei had no right to eavesdrop on their discussion.
But did Yu Xiao dare say anything about Feng Yuwei?
Yu Xiao had grandpa punish him for offending Feng Yuwei.
Up till now, the token of his cave abode was still in the hands of Feng Yuwei. How miserable!
"So what if he's in the Earth immortal stage?
A brat in the early Earth immortal stage, a powerhouse here.
That person's cultivation and experience were not higher than his?
What right does he have to be so impudent? "
Yu Xiao's eyes narrowed as he mocked.
Seeing Dongfang Yibai about to quarrel with Yu Xiao, Lu Zhan hurried to speak to grandpa.
"Grandpa, Li Mo is in the Earth immortal stage.
I ask grandpa to make him the ninth elder. "
'Damn it, in front of the Gu race.
'What are you two arguing about?
Don't you feel ashamed?
Yu Xiao, didn't you use Li Mo's status as a deacon as a reason he couldn't enter the hall?
Fine, I'll ask grandpa to make Li Mo one.
'Let's see what you two can argue about then.'
"Grandpa, no!
Li Mo stepped into the Earth immortal stage in one trip, if I'm not mistaken.
Li Mo was only in the early Nascent Soul Stage when he left, yet he improved so much in one trip.
There must be something fishy going on. I ask grandpa to look into it.
Li Renlong waved his hand in annoyance at the overbearing Yu Xiao.
Looking at the overbearing Yu Xiao, Li Renlong waved his hand in displeasure.
I will now officially make Li Mo our Elder Council's ninth elder! "
I hereby appoint Li Mo as our Elder Council's ninth elder! "
He had his eye on Li Mo, and now that he was in Earth immortal stage, he couldn't do anything about it.
Li Renlong didn't even have to think about it to confer Li Mo his title.
"Thank you, grandpa!"
Li Mo bowed. 'Things are going better than I expected.'
"Have a seat."
Li Renlong waved at Li Mo and Li Mo found a seat in the back row.
The Gu old woman cleared her throat as Jiuli Tribe's matters were settled.
She continued.
"Jiuli Tribe's ancestor, Lord Jiuli, was once a general of the Heavenly Court.
He was a powerhouse of the same era as our Gu ancestor.
"But Lord Jiuli was a human and had a limited lifespan.
Moreover, he led the Jiuli Tribe to war from north to south, exhausting himself to the point of collapse.
Today, the Gu ancestor longs for the Heavenly Court of old and wishes to rebuild it.
Remembering their ties in the Heavenly Court, he wishes to rope in the Jiuli Tribe.
What does Lord Li Renlong think about it? "
Her words were polite, but a peak Earth immortal stage cultivator.
Talking to a Celestial Immortal, yet sitting in his seat.
What kind of arrogance was this?
But the Gu race was still one of the top three demon clans in the Nine States, while the Jiuli Tribe was hunted by the world to the point of hiding in Myriad Mountains. The Gu race had its pride.
Li Renlong frowned but didn't say anything.
Yu Ancestor opened his mouth and asked the Jiuli Clan to submit to him?
What a joke.
And Li Renlong didn't like the Gu race's way of doing things.
Clap, clap, clap …
Li Mo clapped from where he sat.
