One hundred feet above the Grand Imperial Plaza, the fourth and final Royal Immortal Advisor—Elder Ku-Mu. At Rank 4 Peak,—sat frozen on his gnarled ironwood flying sword, his withered legs shaking so violently that dry bark-flakes rained down from his sleeves.
In less than five minutes, the entire worldview that Elder Ku-Mu had held for seventy years had been smashed to smithereens!
Down on the white-jade stage, their leader Elder Jian-Chen , at Rank 4 Peak, was still lying on his stomach groaning with a backside swollen like two red lanterns.
And fifty yards away in the center of the marble plaza, Elder Huo-Yun , at Rank 4 Peak. Elder Xuan-Bing , at Rank 4 Peak, were bobbing upside-down inside the Grand Imperial Dragon Fountain. Glued beard-to-beard inside a giant ball of black-licorice taffy while four boots kicked helplessly above the water!
“M-Monsters! That whole Gu family is a den of monsters disguised as a neighborhood restaurant!”
When Elder Ku-Mu saw Gu Changsheng [Rank 4 Peak, Father’s Authority: True Rank 5+] look up from the stage and smile warmly at him. Twirling the [Upgraded Gold-Thread Disciplinary Belt] in his right hand, the old withered-wood cultivator’s courage snapped completely!
He didn’t care about the fifty-percent royal tax tribute anymore. He didn’t care about the innate Foundation-Building Pills, and he certainly didn’t care about rescuing his three fellow advisors!
