On the square, there is a high platform made of white marble.
The Spirit Mountain Sect Leader arranged seats for Luo Xiang'er and others, closest to the high platform. Beside them were forces from Yelan Star with Great Saint Ancestors. When these forces' representatives saw Luo Xiang'er, they greeted her warmly.
"President Luo, how have you been?"
"President Luo, it's been years, your grace remains!"
"President Luo..."
...
Luo Xiang'er responded with a smile to these representatives.
"Everyone, how have you been?"
She responded to them softly.
This scene was seen by the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader. The false smile he usually wore on his face finally disappeared at this moment, and his eyes became extremely gloomy.
Damn woman!
The Spirit Mountain Sect Leader cursed inwardly, but he quickly returned to his usual false smile.
Little did he know that his change in expression was seen by Luo Xiang'er.
The Gu Family Chamber of Commerce has a deep cooperation with Spirit Mountain. Luo Xiang'er has dealt with the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader many times, so she naturally knows that the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader is a hypocritical person. However, in the past, they had a cooperative relationship and no conflicts, so although she disliked such people, she still showed the necessary courtesy.
But now it's different. Spirit Mountain has suppressed her man. As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Luo Xiang'er already disliked the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader, and now she hates him even more.
The Spirit Mountain Sect Leader appeared on the high platform. He faced everyone and said with a smile, "Everyone must have thought that our Spirit Mountain invited you here not just to watch us execute criminals, right?"
Hearing the word "criminals," Luo Xiang'er frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy, but she didn't know where Lang Qingtian was yet, otherwise she would have immediately confronted them.
"Sect Leader Hua, enough nonsense. What exactly does your Spirit Mountain want to do?"
"That's right, we are not idle people. Sect Leader Hua, please speak directly if you have something to say. Don't waste our time."
Several representatives of forces with Great Saint Ancestors spoke up. Although they were only Saint cultivators, not as strong as the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader, they were guests and represented the forces behind them, so they would naturally not bow down to the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader.
"Hehe, it's hard to refuse your enthusiasm. Since everyone is so eager to know, then I'll be frank." The Spirit Mountain Sect Leader chuckled, his smile a bit eerie.
Everyone couldn't help but frown, but said nothing, wanting to see what he had to say.
"I ask everyone, and the forces behind you, to follow the lead of my Spirit Mountain from now on!"
The Spirit Mountain Sect Leader's voice was very soft, believing that this indifferent feeling was extremely detached, giving off the feeling of an otherworldly expert.
He put his hands behind his back, smiled, and narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to enjoy their shocked expressions and words.
"Do you mean to include the Gu Family behind me?"
Luo Xiang'er slowly stood up, her voice unusually cold.
"Uh..."
The Spirit Mountain Sect Leader suddenly opened his eyes, his smile frozen. He forgot, he actually forgot that there was still Luo Xiang'er present, and behind her stood the entire Gu Family.
That was the family created by His Majesty the Saint Emperor.
It's over!
The Spirit Mountain Sect Leader trembled inwardly. If the Gu Family blamed them, even if the Spirit Mountain Sect had immortals, they would still face destruction.
Others were originally shocked by the words of the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader, but when they saw Luo Xiang'er's reaction, they immediately stopped talking. They showed mocking expressions on their faces, looking playfully at the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader on the high platform.
Good heavens, how did this idiot become the Sect Leader? He actually dared to say such rebellious words.
I want to see how Spirit Mountain will end today.
"Sect Leader Hua, speak up. Does it include the Gu Family behind me?"
Luo Xiang'er took a step forward, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly dropped to freezing point. The strong men beside her all showed cold light in their eyes. They were all members of the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce. Although their status was not as high as Luo Xiang'er, the Gu Family-acknowledged Elder with a different surname, they had a very high sense of belonging to the Gu Family.
Because these people were all cultivated by the Gu Family from a young age, specializing in handling the Gu Family's secular affairs in the world. Although they did not have the surname Gu, they regarded themselves as part of the Gu Family.
They naturally would not agree to someone insulting the Gu Family.
The Spirit Mountain Sect Leader took two steps back. His previous words had been practiced countless times in his heart, because in his plan, he only invited the local forces of Yelan Star and would not invite any external forces.
Luo Xiang'er's uninvited arrival was beyond the plan, but... he had practiced countless times in his heart just to say those words today. Those words were completely subconscious.
Subconscious actions cannot be controlled at all.
"President Luo, please calm down."
Just as the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader was flustered, an old voice sounded. The Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor appeared beside the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader at some point.
Luo Xiang'er's expression changed slightly. She had seen the Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor before. Although she couldn't see through the Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor's strength in the past, she would always feel a strong sense of oppression. But now, the Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor gave her the feeling of an ordinary person, and she couldn't see any clues.
Breakthrough!
Luo Xiang'er immediately realized the importance of the matter. The Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor had broken through and was now a Quasi-Emperor.
She couldn't help but feel a little flustered, wondering if Sister Gu Wei could suppress him.
The representatives of other forces also changed their faces drastically, and at the same time realized why the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader dared to say those words just now. It turned out that the Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor had broken through.
Things had gone beyond their control.
Many people began to transmit messages to their own forces. The Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor saw everything in his eyes, but did not stop them, but looked at Luo Xiang'er.
Luo Xiang'er was not afraid, she looked at the Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor and asked, "Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor, what did you mean by those words just now?"
The Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor glared at the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader, and then explained to Luo Xiang'er, "President Luo has misunderstood. Because this time our Spirit Mountain invited the local forces of Yelan Star, the previous words were naturally aimed at the local forces of Yelan Star. President Luo is here as a guest, so naturally you are not included."
"Yes, yes, yes, President Luo, those words I said just now were for others to hear. You are guests and are not included."
The Spirit Mountain Sect Leader quickly took over the conversation. Although this explanation was a bit far-fetched, he felt that the Gu Family would definitely understand, as long as the Gu Family understood.
But others were not happy.
"Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor, Sect Leader Hua, isn't it too overbearing for you to do this?" Someone said dissatisfied.
"Overbearing?"
The Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor snorted disdainfully upon hearing this.
"The supremacy of strength is the basic law of the world. If you and the people behind you are my opponents, our Spirit Mountain can also submit."
"But... can you do it?"
In the next moment, the powerful aura of the Guiyi Realm radiated from the Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor. He precisely controlled the aura to avoid Luo Xiang'er and others, and fell on the representatives of other forces.
The others instantly turned pale. In the face of this powerful aura, they were like a drop in the ocean. The spirits in their bodies continued to issue warnings, and there was a risk of annihilation at any time.
"Puchi!"
Some people couldn't bear this powerful aura and fell to the ground, spitting out blood.
At this time, Luo Xiang'er, who was originally a little down because she learned that the Spirit Mountain Old Ancestor had broken through, brightened up.
She received a message, not only from Sister Gu Wei, but also from Her Royal Highness the Saintess and Princess Xiaomin.
So, Luo Xiang'er said lightly, "Today this president is here not to watch your Spirit Mountain show off your fists. Didn't you arrest a rogue cultivator named Lang Qingtian? Where is he?"
