To instantly kill the "Golden Dragon Seal," multiple "Nascent Soul Ancestors" must attack simultaneously.
In the entire "Endless Outer Sea," only the "Dark Sword Sect" and the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" have several "Nascent Soul Ancestors" stationed.
So, which one is it, the "Dark Sword Sect" or the "Three Immortals Sword Sect"?
"Wang Gebi" leaned towards the "Dark Sword Sect."
Because, in his opinion, the alliance between the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" and the "Great New Dynasty" was a foregone conclusion.
Moreover, an alliance between the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" and the "Great New Dynasty" offered only benefits and no drawbacks.
The "Great New Dynasty" had shown great sincerity in this alliance, resolutely embodying the spirit of "throwing money around." If the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" wanted spirit stones, the "Great New Dynasty" provided spirit stones; if they wanted elixirs, they got elixirs; if they wanted magical treasures, they got magical treasures...
The "Three Immortals Sword Sect" had profited immensely.
"Wang Gebi" genuinely couldn't think of any reason for the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" to betray them and suddenly kill "Wang Jiujiu."
As for the "Dark Sword Sect," those devilish cultivators were known for their erratic and violent behavior, killing people at the slightest disagreement. The possibility of them killing "Wang Jiujiu" without reason was very high.
Furthermore, "Wang Jiujiu" represented the "Great New Dynasty" in forming an alliance with the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," making the two sides "allies."
The "Dark Sword Sect" and the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" were sworn enemies.
As the saying goes, an enemy's friend is also an enemy!
The "Dark Sword Sect" had every reason to harbor animosity towards "Wang Jiujiu."
Was it possible that...
"Wang Jiujiu," after completing the alliance with the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," became overconfident, thinking he could achieve anything, and then went to the "Dark Sword Sect" to demand an alliance?
Upon learning that the "Great New Dynasty" had already allied with the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," the "Dark Sword Sect" immediately turned hostile and killed "Wang Jiujiu."
Possible!
Very possible!
"Wang Jiujiu" was good in every aspect, except for his "love of glory." He always assumed things would go his way.
Of course, this wasn't a major flaw.
"Wang Gebi" understood "Wang Jiujiu's" intentions very well.
"Wang Jiujiu" did this precisely to compete with his fourth, eighth, and thirteenth brothers for the "Dragon Throne of the Great New Dynasty."
Under normal circumstances, "Wang Gebi" would have been happy to see such competition.
Only through competition could one become stronger!
"Healthy competition" would make the "Great New Dynasty" stronger and stronger!
But this time, "Wang Gebi" was furious.
That fool "Wang Jiujiu," in his pursuit of merit, had lost his own life. Worse still, he had lost the invaluable "Merit Stones."
Damn it!
If "Wang Jiujiu" hadn't already been killed, "Wang Gebi" would have wanted to kill him himself, again.
Damn it!
No, this matter absolutely cannot be let go!
A fierce light ignited in "Wang Gebi's" eyes, and he gritted his teeth, radiating killing intent!
Even if he didn't seek revenge for "Wang Jiujiu," he had to recover the three sets of lost "Merit Stones."
The "Merit Stones" were "strategic resources" of the "Great New Dynasty" and could not be lost under any circumstances.
"Wang Gebi" intended to order the "Imperial Observatory" to mobilize its entire force and venture deep into the "Endless Outer Sea" to recover the "Merit Stones" at all costs.
However, this would mean slightly delaying the grand plan to conquer the "Central Continent" and unify all "cultivation sects."
"Wang Gebi" hesitated for less than a second before making up his mind.
For the incredibly valuable "Merit Stones," it was worth paying some price.
However, before "Wang Gebi" could issue the imperial decree, a turn of events occurred.
A "flying sword message," emanating the origin aura of a "Nascent Soul Ancestor," sped towards them.
This type of "flying sword message," containing a trace of "Nascent Soul Ancestor's origin power," was an "emergency communication method" that only "Nascent Soul Ancestors" could use.
Once used, it would deplete the "Nascent Soul Ancestor's" origin.
It should not be used lightly unless in a critical situation.
However, after consuming "origin power," the "flying sword message" was enhanced to its limit.
A thousand miles in an instant!
Crossing a distance of ten thousand miles took only a blink of an eye.
The "Endless Outer Sea" was millions of miles away from the "Central Continent," yet this "flying sword message" arrived here in just over half an hour.
This illustrated how fast it was.
A "flying sword message" from the "Three Immortals Sword Sect."
A sharp glint flashed in "Wang Gebi's" eyes. He immediately opened the "flying sword message" and carefully read its contents.
This "flying sword message" was jointly signed by the three "Sect Masters" of the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," making it highly significant!
The content of the message was also explosive, concerning the cause of "Wang Jiujiu's" death.
According to the message.
"Wang Jiujiu" was killed by the "Dark Sword Sect."
The entire process was essentially as "Wang Gebi" had initially speculated.
After "Wang Jiujiu" completed the alliance with the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," his confidence soared, believing nothing was impossible in the world, as long as one had the will!
He could do it, he was capable!
Therefore, "Wang Jiujiu," disregarding the dissuasion and opposition of others, insisted on leading the "Great New Treasure Ship" to the "Dark Sword Sect."
The three "Sect Masters" of the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," after much deliberation, were still uneasy. Thus, they personally led elite experts from their sect to rendezvous with "Wang Jiujiu."
As a result, they arrived one step too late.
By the time the experts from the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" arrived, the battle was already over.
"Wang Jiujiu" was killed by "Ancestor Dread," one of the "Six Dark Ancestors."
The entire "Great New Treasure Ship" was also destroyed by the combined efforts of the "Six Dark Ancestors."
The experts from the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," enraged, engaged the "Dark Sword Sect" in a fierce battle. Both sides sustained casualties, and the fight ended in a draw.
In this regard, the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" expressed their deep apologies and stated that they were willing to bear full responsibility for "Wang Jiujiu's" death...
After reading the entire "flying sword message," "Wang Gebi's" mood relaxed considerably, and he even felt a bit relieved and happy.
Although his son, "Wang Jiujiu," had died, the most crucial "Merit Stones" were safe.
Before "Wang Jiujiu" departed, he had entrusted the three sets of "Merit Stones" to the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" for the construction of "Merit Statues."
The "Three Immortals Sword Sect" attached great importance to this matter. They magnanimously declared that even though "Wang Jiujiu" was dead, the alliance between the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" and the "Great New Dynasty" would never change. They would inherit "Wang Jiujiu's" legacy and diligently strive to build the three "Merit Statues."
Ah, the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" were truly good friends of the "Great New Dynasty"!
Even "Wang Gebi," who had always been stone-hearted, couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion.
"Guards, prepare lavish gifts, fill one hundred sea-crossing spirit boats, and send them to our good friends, the Three Immortals Sword Sect!"
