"Yes, Your Majesty."
"This humble subject will now contact the various great temples, heavenly palaces, and those True Immortals of the heavens that we have subdued, and then go to the Black Zenith Heavens to investigate the situation." Lingmu cupped his hands and respectfully took his leave.
Xuanming waved his hand, signaling him to go.
"The Gu family... the Black Zenith Heavens... the other hundred domains of the heavens... and the Chaos Immortal Realm."
Xuanming rubbed his brow.
The Immortal Court's mission was far from over, and everything was still a long and arduous road.
......
On the other side.
Under the guidance of True Immortal Jin Ao, Lin Su arrived at the Law Enforcement Heavenly Palace.
After paying the ransom, he quickly led Lin Teng and the others away from the Immortal Court.
On the way back to the Immortal Realm.
Although Lin Teng, who was following behind Lin Su, looked calm, his heart was churning with immense waves.
You must know that his ancestor was a Perfected Chaos Grand Luo True Immortal.
The Palace Master of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Palace, Yao Mu, was not a strong figure among the Chaos Grand Luo True Immortals.
Logically speaking, the latter should have been respectful to the former.
But he wasn't. He personally watched his ancestor bow and scrape to Yao Mu, obediently pay the ransom, and then lead him out of the Immortal Court.
This scene was something he couldn't understand no matter what.
Filled with doubts, he couldn't help but ask.
"The Immortal Court is very powerful, with six Chaos Dao Harmonization True Immortals sitting in charge. Not only that, but one of the Dao Harmonization True Immortals has an aura even stronger than the progenitor!" Lin Su didn't hide anything and spoke out. His face still had a trace of lingering fear.
If, when redeeming Lin Teng, the other party had harbored any ill intentions or tried to make things difficult, it would have been very difficult for him to bring Lin Teng out so easily. Naturally, he didn't dare to stay near the Immortal Court any longer.
"What!?"
Lin Teng's pupils shrank upon hearing this.
"Remember, don't ever get involved with the Immortal Court again in the future. Stay far away from the people of the Immortal Court. If you can avoid offending them, by all means, do not offend them," Lin Su instructed.
He also had to inform the Lin Immortal Clan about this matter.
However, Lin Su, who was single-mindedly flying towards the Immortal Realm, did not see the ever-changing expressions on his grandson's face.
"I didn't expect the Immortal Court to be so powerful..."
"That Palace Master of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Palace, Yao Mu, spoke of supporting me..."
Lin Teng's heart stirred slightly.
When he was imprisoned within the Law Enforcement Heavenly Palace.
Yao Mu had descended and talked with him, saying that if he returned to the Lin Immortal Clan, he could become a hidden agent of the Immortal Court, receive the Immortal Court's support, and help him become the heir to the Lin Immortal Clan's leadership, or even the Clan Leader of the Lin Immortal Clan. Originally, he didn't take it seriously after hearing this.
But now, his ancestor's expression changed when talking about the Immortal Court.
This made him faintly begin to feel tempted.

Chapter 535 Lin Teng's Thoughts, A Thousand True Immortals Point Their Spears at the Gu Family
............
Lin Teng understood.
He had been imprisoned by a Lower Realm Heavens force.
Even if this Lower Realm Heavens force was extremely strong, for an ancient Immortal Clan like the Lin Immortal Clan, it was still an indelible stain.
Whether it was the aloof elders or the ordinary clansmen, they were unwilling to let someone with such a stain become the Clan Leader of the Lin Immortal Clan.
In other words.
His competitiveness for the position of Lin Immortal Clan Leader in the future.
Will be greatly reduced.
Whether it was the allocation of internal resources within the Immortal Clan, or the forces that had originally depended on him, they might change because of this.
If there were no accidents, he would lose his qualification to become the Clan Leader of the Lin Immortal Clan.
But, if he could get the support of the Immortal Court...
Lin Teng's thoughts raced, and the expression on his face changed unpredictably.
His ancestor was a Perfected Chaos Grand Luo True Immortal, so naturally he wouldn't be wrong. If he said that the Immortal Court was stronger than the Lin Immortal Clan, then the Immortal Court must be stronger than the Lin Immortal Clan.
With the support of the Immortal Court, he might be able to accomplish things that other young masters of the Lin Immortal Clan couldn't, and then successfully inherit the position...
"This matter still needs to be considered..."
Lin Teng took a slight breath and didn't make a decision immediately.
He wasn't a fool. The Immortal Court's support for him definitely came with something they wanted him to give, and the fact that they hadn't said it yet was clearly a deeper conspiracy.
He couldn't easily agree.
......
Just as Lin Teng was returning to the Immortal Realm.
Lingmu had already gathered the True Immortals of the Immortal Court according to Xuanming's orders.
And now, the Immortal Court was no longer as weak as it had been ten thousand years ago.
Among the Hundred Domains of the Heavens, the lowest number of True Immortals was four or five, and the highest, like the Ancient Immortal Heavens and the Ancient Eternal Heavens, had as many as fifty or more. Altogether, the number of True Immortals in the Immortal Court had reached as high as one thousand five hundred.
Leaving aside what was needed to guard the Immortal Court's various borders.
Lingmu carefully selected a thousand Immortal Court True Immortals, preparing to go to the Black Zenith Heavens to take down the Gu family.
Martial Saint Liu was also among them.
However, his expression was a little off, and he looked suspiciously at one of the powerful True Immortals who exuded a strong aura of death.
"Bone Emperor?" A trace of strangeness flashed in Martial Saint Liu's eyes.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Bone Emperor frowned slightly, looking at the abnormal Martial Saint Liu.
"You're not dead?"
"You're the one who's dead!" Bone Emperor frowned tightly.
Martial Saint Liu belonged to the Law Enforcement Heavenly Palace and was not in the same department as him.
They rarely encountered each other normally, and he didn't know why Martial Saint Liu was cursing him for no reason.
"Impossible, ten thousand years ago I personally watched you lie motionless in the Xuan Emperor Hall, without any vitality..." Martial Saint Liu's face was full of doubt.
At that time, in his perception, Bone Emperor was indeed dead.
"Hmph! How unlucky!" Bone Emperor flicked his sleeves, his expression very unsightly.
He quickly moved a few positions away, separating himself from Martial Saint Liu.
"This..." Seeing that Bone Emperor didn't answer, Martial Saint Liu felt awkward and didn't bother to ask further.
And this was just one small episode. The thousand True Immortals had once belonged to a hundred Heavenly Domains, and had never imagined that one day they would gather together to work together, so they were discussing it one after another.
"Fellow colleagues, the Gu family of the Black Zenith Heavens made a promise to the Immortal Court but did not fulfill it. The Emperor has issued an edict to send the Gu family of the Black Zenith Heavens to the Cosmic Prison, and at the same time occupy the Black Zenith Heavens..."
While the many True Immortals were talking, Lingmu issued the order for this operation.
"The Gu family of the Black Zenith Heavens?"
"Are we attacking the Black Zenith Heavens at the same time? We don't need so many people, do we? As far as I know, there are only twenty or thirty Chaos Grand Luo True Immortals in the Black Zenith Heavens..."
Upon hearing this, many True Immortals had a strange look on their faces, but soon they felt a hint of excitement. A thousand True Immortals attacking a family and a Heavens was unprecedented. Heaven knew what kind of reaction the Gu family and the creatures of the Black Zenith Heavens would have when they saw them rushing into their territory.
Without much delay.
Lingmu and the thousand Immortal Court True Immortals each drove a world transformed by Immortal Power, speeding through the Chaos, all heading towards the Black Zenith Heavens.
......
At the same time.
The Black Zenith Heavens.
The Gu family's True Immortal Domain was in a lively and glorious state.
The Gu family's Clan Leader, Gu Xuan, looked at the creatures from all realms of the Black Zenith Heavens with a smile, secretly sneering in his heart.
As the strongest force in the Black Zenith Heavens, not to mention whether or not they made enemies, just the vast resources and territory they controlled caused countless opportunists to covet them.
Previously, when news spread that his ancestor had suffered a serious injury, he didn't know how many forces in the Black Zenith Heavens were eyeing the Gu family, waiting for the Gu family's ancestor to die before tearing off a piece of the Gu family's flesh.
However, after his ancestor's injuries healed.
These forces, like vicious wolves, were now like docile dogs, obediently coming to congratulate them and offering expensive gifts, which was truly laughable.
"Strength, it truly makes people feel obsessed," Gu Xuan muttered to himself.
With his ancestor around, the Black Zenith Heavens could not be overturned.
...
"What a majestic aura, grand and transparent, without the slightest pretense of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It seems that the Gu family's ancestor has truly recovered from his injuries!"
"I heard that the Gu family visited a large number of Heavens, and finally found a pill called the Primordial Void Quasi-Immortal Pill in a place called the Ancient Immortal Heavens, which replenished the lost foundation."
"How is that possible? The Primordial Void Quasi-Immortal Pill has long been lost, how could the Gu family have found it!"
The Gu family's True Immortal Domain seemed lively, but in reality, undercurrents were surging. Feeling the Gu family ancestor's undisguised powerful aura, the faces of the power holders of many forces were slightly unsightly.
Previously, when the Gu family announced that their ancestor had recovered from his injuries and held a banquet to celebrate, they thought it was just a bluff, but now it seemed that it was obviously not, which made them very uncomfortable.
The Gu family was tyrannical and inhuman, and controlled a large number of resources and territories in the Black Zenith Heavens, squeezing the living space of other forces to the extreme. The Gu family's ancestor's serious injury was a once-in-a-million-year opportunity for them, but they missed it...
"With the Gu family's domineering and untrustworthy nature, I really hope that they can offend the alchemist who refined the Primordial Void Quasi-Immortal Pill, and then be destroyed by the other party, so as not to oppress us so much!"
While many creatures felt heavy-hearted, some couldn't help but pray, hoping that the Gu family would offend a powerful enemy and be suppressed.
