Bai Jingyi discovered her identity, how could Gu Qijue let her leave.
He immediately decided to keep her, as he happened to need a secretary by his side.
Before Gu Qijue could request someone from Emperor Academy, at that moment, word came from below that the Alliance had sent two elders to meet Gu Qijue.
"So they’re coming to assign blame so quickly!"
Upon receiving the report, Gu Qijue ordered someone to invite them up.
It wasn’t long before they arrived.
A middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man, looking stern, walked into the office.
"President Xing, I’m sure you understand the reason for our visit this time?"
As soon as they came, they questioned Gu Qijue.
Gu Qijue scrutinized them and indifferently said, "I’m sorry, I don’t know why you’re here."
"Your group inexplicably killed our Alliance elder, don’t tell me President Xing isn’t aware? If that’s really the case, you’re failing utterly as a leader." The middle-aged woman said coldly.
"Oh? I do know about that, the Alliance elder brought it on himself, not being as skilled and getting killed in return, and now your Alliance has the audacity to come and assign blame?" Gu Qijue raised his eyes, filled with disdain as he looked at them.
"Hmm?! Is President Xing attempting to shield the murderer?" The middle-aged man showed a hint of danger in his eyes.
"So what if I am?" Gu Qijue’s expression turned icy.
The middle-aged woman sneered, "Well, well, well, such a President Xing, today I’ll make it clear, if President Xing doesn’t hand over the murderer, the Infinite Group definitely won’t be able to bear the consequences."
"Oh! Are you threatening me?" Gu Qijue’s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.
"You could interpret it that way, the Alliance elder said you have a problem, then you have a problem, taking action against you is also to take you in for questioning, the murderer not only dared to retaliate but killed the Alliance elder publicly, President Xing, do you think you can protect this matter?" The middle-aged man had a very assertive attitude.
"Today our Alliance is putting it out there, if you don’t hand over the murderer, your Infinite Group may as well give up on attacking the Great Yan Dynasty, the Alliance will take over, that’s the price!" The middle-aged woman, with a sharp gleam in her eyes.
"Ha! The fox’s tail finally shows?"
Hearing her words, Gu Qijue’s gaze turned chillingly cold, showing a hint of mockery, "It’s said the Alliance acts justly and fairly, as the central authority maintaining order on Emperor Star, didn’t expect you’d resort to such underhanded means, truly eye-opening for Mr. Xing."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "President Xing, speaking without evidence is slander!"
Gu Qijue’s expression was icy as he spoke indifferently, "Is your Alliance really going to treat my Infinite Group like this?"
The middle-aged woman said coldly, "It’s not against your Infinite Group, just hand over the murderer and everything will be fine."
"Good, very good, you dare to extort my Infinite Group like this."
Gu Qijue laughed, a very wicked laugh,
Then,
A terrifyingly overwhelming Saint’s will burst forth from Gu Qijue, as if from an emperor who rules over all beings,
Instantly penetrating through the entire Infinite Group base, sweeping across like a fierce storm,
In no time, sweeping across the entire Alliance base.
This Saint’s will was domineering, powerful, dignified, evil, violent, and lofty, as if the only one in the world.
"Hiss! What a terrifying Saint’s will, even my half-emperor’s will can’t compare?"
"Who, which senior is unleashing their power?"
Thud, thud!!!
Under this sweeping Saint’s will, all who were under the Saint level collapsed powerlessly to the ground.
Even Saints felt their hearts trembling with fear.
Even half-emperors sensed some pressure.
Powerful figures from all around looked towards the source of the will.
Discovering it was from Infinite Group, they were shocked once more.
One Saint-level figure after another broke through the air, flying towards Infinite Group’s base, all wanting to see what had happened.
They were even more eager to know, who was the owner of this will.
"What’s going on, who provoked that fiend?"
Ji Tianyue’s chamber, as she was getting used to the new bloodline within her, felt this familiar will, got up and changed her clothes, curious to see, who dared to bully her... man!
Rumble!
Unbeknownst to her, it was her man, bullying others.
Accompanied by a loud bang.
A massive hole suddenly exploded in the Infinite Group base’s building.
Swish, swish—
Soon, the sight of two figures, bodies ravaged by lightning, fell hard to the ground, twitching and coughing up blood.
"This is..."
"Aren’t those Alliance’s Elder Ru Xiao and Elder Tunyue? Both are Tier Seven Saints! How did they end up like this?"
"Hiss! Saints, they are so hard to kill, they’ve almost lost their lives!"
"Look at the lightning on them, it seems to keep destroying and devouring the vitality of the two elders..."
Boom!!
As the arriving Saints saw who was in the pit, they were in shock.
With a loud boom,
Gu Qijue, overwhelmingly dominant, surrounded by black lightning, appeared above the two deep pits.
"What things dare extort my Infinite Group!?"
Gu Qijue looked at the two half-dead, blood-spitting, fear-stricken people in the pit, raised a hand, and flicked his fingers.
Two terrifying lightning beams shot through the air.
Boom!!
Just as those two lightning beams were about to completely annihilate the two in the pit,
A figure suddenly stood in front of them.
Raised a hand, wiped away those two beams.
Standing in the pit was an old man, with surging blood within, like a dormant furnace capable of incinerating the sky and boiling the sea.
"President Xing, your hostility is too great."
The old man frowned slightly, looking a bit displeased at Gu Qijue.
"Who are you?"
Gu Qijue looked down, with an overlooking perspective, gazing at the old man below the pit.
The old man said faintly, "I am one of the Alliance’s twelve elders, you may call me Elder Yin! Why were you so ruthless?"
"I should be asking you that, here’s the footage, see for yourself!"
Gu Qijue snorted coldly, playing the scene of the two threatening him.
After watching the projected footage, anyone with a brain could guess what the situation was.
"Is this your so-called fair and just Alliance?"
Gu Qijue showed a hint of mockery, smiled faintly, "It’s indeed eye-opening for me."
Elder Yin watched it, his face changing unpredictably, secretly cursing the two fools at his feet, how could they say such things so arrogantly?
Shouldn’t it be hinted at subtly in a roundabout way?
"Today, if the Alliance doesn’t provide an explanation, my Infinite Group will stop supplying any potions to the Alliance from now on."
Gu Qijue’s eyes were penetrating, his expression cold and fierce, as with a boom, he used his own will to communicate with Emperor Star’s will here, his aura soaring stage by stage, in the blink of an eye reaching the Peak of Demon Saint, then Half-Emperor.
"What’s happening?"
"Ahh! He can communicate and resonate with Emperor Star’s will?"
"Oh my! Even the Alliance’s three ancestors can’t do that!"
At this scene, the Saints present, all had their eyes wide open, jaws almost dropping to the ground in shock.
Ever since breaking through to Demon Saint, with Emperor Star’s will descending, Gu Qijue felt that Emperor Star’s will was very friendly to him, always able to communicate and have its power descend.
Otherwise, how could he have revealed his identity so calmly in front of Ji Tianyue.
And how could he have arrogantly declared to swallow Great Yan Dynasty alone in the previous meeting.
This, is the source of his confidence.
Gu Qijue felt, if he disregarded the consequences and fully resonated with Emperor Star’s will here, he could temporarily ascend to Demon Emperor.
