Lei Jiao, Zhou Wudao, and the others had traveled tens of thousands of miles from the East Continent to participate in the ceremony. The journey was full of dangers, and they had faced several life and death crises before finally stepping into the Divine Palace.
They were here to prove themselves and to seek the Emperor's Path, but not to be suppressed here.
They had risked their lives to complete their dreams. Who would be willing to be suppressed in exchange?
Moreover, all those buried here were evil spirits who had deviated from the orthodoxy and had no humanity. All kinds of evil were gathered here.
Not afraid?
Not afraid was fake.
"Qin Hao."
Zhou Wudao's voice was trembling. If his judgment was wrong, and everything in the Divine Palace was real, how could they be let go of for the crimes they had committed?
There was no need for the Peak Masters to do it personally, and even the Elders and the First Seat didn't need to do it. Just the power of the previous second-class disciple was enough to make them powerless.
Qin Hao glanced at Zhou Wudao. Even though all the disciples were laughing, his eyes were firm.
Wrong?
Absolutely not.
If he hadn't met Myōri and seen her with his own eyes, if he hadn't stored the real 12 Battle Suits in his Space Ring, even Qin Hao himself might not have believed his own guess.
However, it turned out that there must be something wrong with the Divine Palace.
The best way now was to call out to Myōri and see if she could respond. Myōri was willing to show up here, so he didn't need to explain anything.
But … the threat behind the Divine Palace was too great. What if Senior Sister refused to show up?
He was afraid that at that time, the people of Seven Peaks would laugh at him even more, thinking that he was crazy.
"Phew."
Qin Hao heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Perfected Lord Tian Quan once more. "Others may laugh at me for being crazy, but that's not important. Whether you believe me or not, I only have one request."
"Speak."
Tian Quan Road.
"Master, please open the barrier of the Divine Palace and let me go."
Qin Hao stared at the old man. After three years of teaching, there must be feelings.
Master and disciple relationship, he didn't want to explain anything else.
Now, he wanted to leave.
As long as Tian Quan spoke, even if he was a remnant soul, he still had absolute authority. If Master was willing to let him go, no one in the Divine Palace would dare to say anything.
"Let him go?"
Old Daoist Yun Yi's gaze tightened, his face slightly sinister.
He had destroyed the array source and nearly destroyed Cloud Freedom Dao Peak. How could it be so easy to leave just like that?
"The damage to the array source is limited. Master and the other martial uncles have more or less repaired it. Besides, I obtained the palace flag during the trial, so I have the right to make a wish. Didn't Master and the other martial uncles agree to it?"
Qin Hao said.
As long as it did not violate the Dao of Heaven and Earth, the seven Peak Venerables would accept any request unconditionally.
Even if today's incident did not happen, Qin Hao was qualified to take his people away.
Megrez did not answer. He suddenly quieted down and looked up at the blazing sun hanging high in the sky. He muttered something that only he could hear, "It's been too long since I've felt the warmth of the sun. So this is the truth?"
Once, he thought that it might be because his cultivation had touched the limit of Nirvana and reached the realm of Oneness of Heaven and Man. As long as he moved forward a little, he would be able to ascend like Great Ancestor Martial Lord in the past and become the second Divine Level Master in the Divine Palace.
But after so many years, it was still the same. He did not feel the birth of divine power in his body as he wished.
It turned out that he was not about to become a God, but as Qin Hao said, he … might be dead.
"Daozang, you once asked me if I could not feel the Spirit of all things after Nirvana, would I become a God or return to the void? Do you still remember?"
Megrez said silently.
Daozang heard this and suddenly shivered. His heart seemed to be frozen at this moment. Slowly, his eyes moved to Qin Hao, then to Xiao Han, Shou Wuque, and the others. He nodded gently and said back, "You make the decision."
True Lord Tian Quan let out a dry laugh, as if laughing at his own ignorance. His pair of eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life looked at the disciple kneeling in the crowd. This was his fourth disciple, but before this, one had already mysteriously disappeared.
"San 'er, are you really leaving?"
Megrez asked in a heavy tone.
Qin Hao nodded silently. He had to leave now. If he did not leave now, he would never be able to leave.
"But you destroyed the array source and went against the will of the ancestors. If you want to leave now, the nature is different. What should be punished will still be punished."
"Master."
Qin Hao said nervously.
"Pass down my order. Qin Hao is deposed as a disciple of Megrez Palace. He will no longer have anything to do with me and will never return to the Divine Palace."
Megrez waved his hand at Qin Hao. His actions seemed to be driving him away, but there was a faint hope in his eyes. "Go."
"Megrez, he instigated the disciples to destroy my jade pillar …" Yun Yi roared.
"Isn't there no big deal?"
Megrez interrupted him. His eyes carried the dignity of the Divine Palace.
"Still not leaving?"
Eastern Sky hurriedly roared. Although he was reluctant, he respected his junior brother's choice. If he wanted to leave, then leave quickly.
"Thank you, Master."
Qin Hao kowtowed at Megrez. He got up and looked at the Seven Peaks disciples. "Western Liang warriors, step forward."
Among the Seven Peaks disciples, a few youths from Western Liang exchanged looks. Following that, they took a firm step forward and stood beside Qin Hao.
At that moment, Qin Hao looked at Shou Wuque. He had given him the choice.
After all, once he stepped into the Divine Palace, he was no longer a member of the Divine Palace.
Shou Wuque's heart palpitated a few times. He looked at the Wuque Sword Sect disciples in the crowd with a sharp gaze. "Members of the Southern Region Sword Sect, step forward."
"Arhat Hall disciples, step forward."
"Nightnet Palace disciples, step forward."
"Slaying Sect disciples, step forward."
"Aren't all of you coming over? Help me up."
Lei Wyrm roared at his two junior brothers.
Instantly, Luo Yuliang's men, Ye Yao's junior sister who had entered the Divine Palace, as well as the Zheng clan warriors and the Slaying Sect members led by Zhan Ye, gathered at Qin Hao's position.
Qin Yun, Ah Ke, Tsiogua.
Sea Sand, Que 'er, Chen Wanqin, Goudan … including Tan Geng and Bai Xiaotong, all returned to Zhou Wudao's side. There were only a few of them when they came, but not a single one of them left. Feng Qianli did not stay either. Everyone gathered together.
With Qin Hao's shout, nearly a third of the geniuses were mobilized. With this departure, many geniuses from the Seven Peaks were pulled away. The influence was terrifying.
Ning Tianxing's heart palpitated. He never expected things to develop to this point. There was no time for him to adapt. Previously, everyone was still surprised by Qin Hao's performance, but in the next second, news of Yun Yi Peak's array source being destroyed was revealed.
And now, Megrez was going to expel Qin Hao from the Divine Palace.
Ning Tianxing was in a dilemma. Should he stay or leave?
Qin Hao was a meticulous person. He would never make baseless claims, even if what he said was a little ridiculous.
But now, all the Sect from the Southern Mountain Range chose to believe him.
This put Ning Tianxing in an extremely difficult situation.
If he stayed, what if there really was a hidden danger in the Divine Palace?
If the Seven Peak Venerables were undead, the thought of this scene made one's scalp tingle. It was too terrifying.
But if Qin Hao's judgment was wrong, and now that he was expelled from the Divine Palace, no one would be able to shake Ning Tianxing's position among the remaining disciples. He would be the absolute number one and would be nurtured by the Seven Peaks.
Cultivating to the Emperor Realm was only the beginning. Ning Tianxing wanted to reach the Nirvana Realm, or even the Divine Path in the Divine Palace.
"Princess, let's leave too."
Mo Xian whispered to Qingzhi Han.
Qingzhi Han's expression changed, and she hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this, Mo Xian left with the three Demon Generals and a few Mo Luo family death servants. They walked toward Qin Hao's group.
"Mo Xian, where are you going?"
Han Qingzhi was shocked. He actually didn't wait for her to give the order and directly took them away?
Just because of Qin Hao's one-sided words, Mo Xian dared to go against her?
"The Luo Moro family is loyal to the Daqin, but on the condition that my people are safe. Please forgive me, Princess."
Mo Xian turned around and continued to walk toward Qin Hao's group.
Qingzhi Han was a little panicked, but Mo Xian's reason was very good. As a prince, he shouldered the hope of the family, and he couldn't joke about the lives of his people and subordinates.
What should she do?
What should she do?
"There's no one left."
Shou Wuque whispered to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao nodded, and his eyes became colder. He looked at Elder Yun Yi and said, "Uncle, please open the barrier."
"Don't even think about it."
Perfected Master Yun Yi glared at him.
"Let them go."
Tian Quan shouted.
"Tian Quan … you …" "Yun Yi, don't forget Tian Quan's identity, he is the master of the Divine Palace. Let them go."
Daozang's voice was stern, and Nirvana Emperor qi was about to burst out.
"Sigh."
Old Daoist Yun Yi hung his head dejectedly. Even though he was unwilling, he still activated the array formation of Yun Yi Peak and removed the enchantment surrounding the divine palace.
Hua!
In the distance, an intense light flashed. It was as if the sky had opened. The enchantment that sealed the Divine Palace dissipated. The air became fresh. The oppressive feeling in the void also disappeared. Everyone felt as if they had been released from a cage.
Qin Hao condensed his [Red Lotus Fire Pupil] and looked over. The scene in front of him was no longer vague. He could already see the shadows of the peaks outside the Divine Palace, and the pressure in his heart seemed to have disappeared.
"Senior brother."
Before leaving, Qin Hao looked at the Eastern Sky.
At this moment, he was also struggling in his heart. Through observation, it was not difficult to find that there was something wrong with Yun Yi. It was very likely that he was the person hiding in the dark in the Divine Palace. Should he expose his identity and tell his master and senior brother?
But his master and senior brother no longer had a physical body, and were only souls.
Moreover, once Yun Yi's true face was exposed, it might not be easy to leave.
Qin Hao never thought that in order to survive, he would leave danger to the people who were once closest to him.
But he had no choice. Behind him were Xiao Han, Tsiogua, Qin Yun, and the many geniuses who were willing to sacrifice their lives for him. Could he use the lives of these people to test a terrifying existence?
"Come with me."
Qin Hao could only say this to Eastern Sky and Chang Yu. If the Illusory Palace's spirit could be born in another body, then Eastern Sky would have a chance to survive even if he left.
Eastern Sky shook his head silently. On his face, there was still the usual warm and carefree smile.
He couldn't explain his mood at this moment, but he had a feeling that what Qin Hao said might be right.
However, Eastern Sky still couldn't leave. He belonged to the Divine Palace, and he was the continuation of the Divine Path of the Divine Palace. Even if he died, his soul must coexist with the Divine Palace.
"Get lost."
Tian Quan's roar awakened Qin Hao.
"Let's go."
Qin Hao didn't have time to salute his master. He held Xiao Han's hand tightly and a pair of flaming wings spread out. He was ready to fly away from this strange place with everyone.
However, at this moment, a scream broke through the space, as if piercing into everyone's heart. Subconsciously, everyone looked back.
They saw a body sandwiched between Tan Geng and Bai Xiaotong was penetrated by a palm. The palm was dripping with blood and emerged from Zhou Wudao's chest, penetrating his entire chest. It was extremely horrifying.
The attacker was even more unexpected. It was the chief disciple of Daozang Peak, Shenghua.
