If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 669 Traces of Immortals and Gods
"He is not a pre-heavenly golden immortal either."

Meng Lang's reply caused Zhu Xi to frown again, feeling somewhat disappointed.

The reason she didn't speculate about the Heavenly Immortals was that she felt such transcendent beings couldn't possibly be trapped here.

She stared at Meng Lang, hoping he could persuade her.

What exactly was it that made Meng Lang think he could escape with her?
She wouldn't go with Meng Lang unless things were made clear.

Meng Lang looked ahead and saw that the innate golden immortal was still giving an exciting speech, which made the people present feel excited and their fighting spirit surge.

Rather than waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death.

"The Taiwei World is truly a deep and complex place."

Meng Lang, also known as Gu An, thought to himself.

Gu An foresaw Zhu Xi's troubles in the Heavenly Spirit World, so he came to help. He disguised himself as Meng Lang because he didn't want to get involved in too many karmas.

Upon arriving at the Taiwei Great World, Gu An discovered that several Great Luo Immortals were hidden within this great world, and that some of the causal relationships between heaven and earth were beyond his comprehension.

He had heard before that among the three thousand great worlds, a few had a foundation far surpassing that of the others, and today he realized it was true.

This innate golden immortal had already set up an array, thinking it would prevent others from spying on him and make it easier to incite people's hearts. Little did he know that at this moment, a Taiqing golden immortal was watching him.

That's right, it wasn't Hengtian Golden Immortal, it was Taiqing Golden Immortal. That Taiqing Golden Immortal stood above heaven and earth, playing with two beads in his hand. His face was so cold, and his eyes reflected the scene of Zhu Xi and the others gathered together.

If Gu An hadn't intervened, Zhu Xi would have been captured by this Taiqing Golden Immortal after escaping with the group, then taken back to the Daoist temple, and ultimately refined into a ghost artifact.

Moreover, Gu An also sensed the aura of a deity in the Taiwei Great World. This deity was located deep within the Divine Court and was even stronger than Taiyi Immortal Lord. This made Gu An unable to help but speculate about the relationship between the Taiwei Divine Court and the Heavenly Court.

"If you don't explain yourself clearly, I can't go with you. Who exactly are you, and what gives you the right to help me?" Zhu Xi's voice interrupted Gu An's thoughts.

Gu An smiled and said, "Don't ask so many questions, just keep watching."

Zhu Xi frowned as she listened, and just as she was about to say something more, the innate golden immortal who was speaking suddenly unleashed a powerful aura, attracting her attention.

"Gentlemen, once the escape is confirmed, we cannot delay. We can fight our way out now. I will open a tunnel, but I do not know where it will lead. It will most likely lead to the interior of the Divine Court. We will have to adapt to the situation after that."

As the innate Golden Immortal cast his spell, he spoke, and as he drew circles with his hands, a black hole appeared in front of him, rapidly expanding, surrounded by interwoven spatial and temporal lightning. The darkness inside was chilling and looked terrifying.

Once the black hole stabilized, he was the first to crawl inside, followed closely by the others.

Some people hesitated, but seeing that the people in front of them had gone in, they gritted their teeth and followed.

Zhu Xi was about to ask Gu An a question when she saw Gu An follow her.

This made her feel ridiculous.

Is this person's method simply to follow these people?

What was the point of saying all that before?

Even if this person weren't there, she would still follow!
Zhu Xi cursed inwardly a few times, then stepped forward and followed.

She came up behind Gu An and stared at his back with hostile eyes.

If looks could kill, Gu An would probably have been reduced to ashes by now.

The two stepped into the black hole one after the other. As soon as they entered, Zhu Xi's vision was swallowed by darkness, and even her divine sense couldn't see. Fortunately, she could sense the surge of spiritual energy, and she could hear Gu An's footsteps ahead. "This is your plan? Even without you, I would have followed him!"

Zhu Xi said through gritted teeth, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

Gu An's voice followed: "The real trouble will come after we get out. Without me, you will surely die."

These words left Zhu Xi bewildered and uncertain. She could only suppress her confusion and remain vigilant about her surroundings.

She didn't completely trust the innate golden immortal who was leading the group, but she had no choice but to follow him because she had no other option.

They moved quickly, and Zhu Xi could clearly feel the spiritual energy along the way becoming increasingly abundant.

This means they are getting closer and closer to the exit!
Zhu Xi became even more nervous, and she began to imagine what she would encounter after she went out.

After a while.

Light finally appeared ahead. Zhu Xi heard the voices of the people around her. Most of them were overjoyed, never expecting that they could actually escape from that place of suppression.

As the light ahead grew brighter, Zhu Xi gradually saw Gu An's back.

For some reason, she felt a little dazed, as if she had seen this person's back view somewhere before.

Soon, she followed Gu An into a bright light. Her senses returned instantly, and she sensed that the people in front of her had stopped. She also stopped.

She opened her eyes, looked ahead, and her expression froze instantly.

Not only her, but the other fugitives also stared ahead in disbelief.

Ahead lay a magnificent, boundless mountain forest, like another world, but everyone's gaze was fixed on the sky above the forest.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, countless figures in purple armor stood atop the clouds, each wielding a divine weapon. A glance around revealed an overwhelming number of them, their sheer size creating a powerful and oppressive force.

The leader, a primordial golden immortal, turned ashen-faced, seemingly surprised that so many enemies were guarding the outside.

"Your Highness, as the Crown Prince of the Divine Court, why would you commit treason?"

A voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, causing an uproar among the fugitives. They never expected that this innate golden immortal was actually the crown prince of the divine court.

Zhu Xi frowned; she sensed something was wrong.

Clearly, she has become entangled in a much larger causal chain. If she hadn't been incited before and had stayed in that guarded area, she would never be in this predicament now.

The innate Golden Immortal took a deep breath, stepped forward, and shouted loudly, "General Zhu, you are an eternal general of the Divine Court, who has protected the Great World many times. All living beings revere you. Now the Divine Court has become a lackey of the immortals and gods. In the last million years, how many innocent lives have died because of the Divine Court's offerings to the immortals and gods? Are you really unmoved?"

"Those immortals and gods are insatiable and will eventually set their sights on the foundation of our divine court. We cannot gamble with this!"

These words made the fugitives even more uneasy. How could they have involved gods and immortals?

Even in the vast Taiwei world, immortals and gods are just ethereal legends.

Like Zhu Xi, they all felt that things had become extremely bad, involving the Crown Prince of the Divine Court and immortals, and that what awaited them was likely an irreversible end.

Zhu Xi turned to look at Gu An and saw that he had no sign of tension on his face, which made her even more curious about how he planned to help her escape.

Could it be related to that deity?
According to the Crown Prince of the Divine Court, that immortal was extremely evil. However, for Zhu Xi, an outsider, the good and evil of this world were temporarily irrelevant to her; she only wanted to escape.
