Chapter 1765: Not Quite Appropriate

y for sure. But now, every peaceful day is a good thing for us!"If Jiang Yun were here, he would surely be astonished!Because these two people, not only are they acquainted, but their relationship is...To the east of Dao Xu appeared a hunched, elderly man with wrinkles all over his face and weary eyes. It was impossible to tell how many years he had lived.

On the west side appeared a strikingly handsome young man, holding a white flower in his hand. He placed it to his nose and gently inhaled its fragrance;

To the south appeared a woman. Though unremarkable in appearance, she wore a black dress that billowed in the absence of wind, giving her an air of mystery.

To the north appeared another old man, tall and imposing. His face was cold and indifferent; he stood there, radiating an air of power without even raising his voice;

In the middle stood a short, stout man with tiny eyes and a shifty expression.

These five individuals each appeared at locations tens of thousands of miles away from the Dao Ruins. After their appearances, they remained motionless in place.

Although they all knew the other four were coming, no one spoke.

Until then, the hunchbacked old man was the first to speak in a transmission, "Four fellow Daoists, why we are here, everyone knows in their hearts. Since we are all here, we naturally need to put in some effort."

"Shall we attack together, or take turns"

As the old man’s words fell, the handsome young man smiled slightly and immediately continued, “Although we are not from the same world, we have spent a considerable amount of time in this Dao Domain. While I can’t say I know everything about it, I am familiar with most things here.”

"However, the true strength of the two strongest individuals in this domain, Daozun and Gu Bulao, remains a mystery to us. Therefore, in my opinion, it's safest for everyone to join forces."

The only woman nodded and said, “I agree, let’s make a move together!”

Another elder nodded in agreement without speaking, only the short and stout man shook his head and said: “Everyone, let me ask you a question first.”

Have you ever thought, if the five of us joined forces, we still couldn't seal Gu Bulao, what would be the outcome for the five of us

Upon hearing this question, the other four people all furrowed their brows slightly.

Naturally, the five of them were the five venerables summoned by Dao Yi at the order of the Dao Zun!

These five venerables were not cultivators from this Dao Domain, but came from five other Dao Domains!

And their purpose in coming to this Dao domain was precisely as Dao Yi had heard from Gu Bulao years ago: to seek cooperation with the Dao Venerable.

But the cooperation was their initial idea when there were five of them. When they truly met Dao Zun, that cooperation became seeking protection from Dao Zun!

Because they could see that, in terms of individual strength, none of them were a match for the Dao Zun!

For the arrival of five people, Daozun also generously received them, and specially divided five areas in the Dao domain to accommodate these five people.

Even addressing them as "Honorable" signifies that they and you hold equal status and standing.

Later, they met Gu Bulao through Daozun and all thought that Gu Bulao and Daozun were friends.

As for Gu Bulao's strength, they were equally unable to see through it. This made them even more wary of this Dao Domain, so there had been no movement from them in recent years.

Now, they never expected to receive an invitation from the Dao Sovereign himself, asking all five of them to join forces and seal off Gu Bulao's Dao domain.

Although they didn't know the reason, Daozun had given them irresistible benefits, which is why they all came eagerly.

They were all arrogant, though they didn't know Gu Bulao's true strength. In their opinion, the five of them joining forces would surely be able to hold back Gu Bulao.

Therefore, they never even considered this issue.

When asked by this short and stout man, the four of them pondered for a moment. The hunchbacked elder couldn't help but sneer coldly: "Friend Leng, you worry too much. Such a situation is impossible!"

"But if Daoist Leng is worried, why come here at all!"

"Haha!" The short, stout man laughed out loud. "I was a little worried, but with the benefits of taking on the Daoist's task, I naturally have to do my best."

"Alright, consider that my previous words were unnecessary. Now, let's make our move together!"

As soon as the words left his lips, the short and stout man took the lead, stepping forward and crossing the vast distance. He stood directly above the Dao Ruins, raising his hand.

The other four followed closely behind, also nearing the ruins.

Under such close proximity, gazing at the lifeless Dao Ruins, a hint of unease simultaneously arose in the hearts of the five individuals. It also brought to mind the dwarf's question moments ago.

For a moment, the five of them stood frozen in place, as if they had turned into statues.

Finally, it was the old man with a hunchback who broke the silence. He spoke in a low voice: "Everyone, we are each responsible for our own area. I'll go first!"

As his voice faded, he opened his mouth and spat out a blue orb. It grew rapidly with the wind, instantly transforming into nine massive plumes of azure mist, each hundreds of thousands of meters wide. They plummeted heavily toward the eastern region of Dao Ruins.

From afar, it looks like nine azure skies plunging straight down!

The other four also made their move almost simultaneously.

The handsome man threw the white flower from his hand. The tiny flower grew larger in the wind, transforming into a size of millions of meters. At this moment, it was no longer a white flower; instead, it was a gigantic white skull, its mouth wide open, swallowing the western region of Dao Xu in one gulp.

That only woman, from the heaven spirit suddenly surged forth a sword, also transformed into tens of thousands of zhang in size, straight into the southern region of Dao Ruins.

The towering old man remained silent, countless bones surging out of his body, seemingly infinite in number. They condensed in mid-air into a colossal mountain of bone, suppressing the northern region of Dao Ruins.

From the short, stout man's hand, black wind suddenly surged forth. Each gust was tens of millions of zhang long, like black dragons, swirling rapidly in the air before exploding simultaneously, transforming into countless pieces of black snow that covered the central area of Dao Ruins.

At the same time, the five great venerables made their move. Their speed was incredibly fast, almost instantaneous, as they completed the lockdown of this entire Dao Ruins.

But until this time, the Dao Ruins was still eerily silent, not a single sound could be heard. This caused the five to exchange glances, each with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Because in their opinion, even though they were fast, with Gu Bulao's strength, he shouldn't have been completely unaware.

Since they had noticed, there should have been some reaction, but there was complete silence. This left them feeling puzzled.

The hunched old man frowned and said, "Could it be that Gu Bulao is not in Dao Xu"

The woman shook her head and said, "Impossible. If Dao Zun invited us here, he must have confirmed that Gu Bulao is in the Dao Ruins!"

The handsome man smiled faintly: "Perhaps it was the Daozun who invited us. Gu Bulao was indeed in Daoxu, but during the time we were on our way here, he had already left"

The short and stout man thought for a moment and said, “There’s another possibility: Gu Bulao’s strength might not be as formidable as we imagined. Perhaps he has already been sealed within this ruin by us.”

The tall, old man who had never spoken a word before said coldly: "Whether Gu Bulao is here or not, we have already sealed Dao Xu, which can be considered as fulfilling the request of Dao Zun. If you are willing to stay here, just stay. Bai Mou is leaving first!"

After finishing his words, the tall old man actually turned and left!

And looking at the old man's back, before the other four could speak, a voice suddenly came out from the Dao Ruins: "Venerable Bai, Venerable Dao invited you all here, should it be to seal me"

"Since your mission isn't finished, it seems inappropriate to just leave like this, wouldn't you say"
