Chapter 1643

Two hours was nothing to Dao Lords with their long lifespans. However, it was enough to change everything.

Dao Lord Xing had delivered a bayonet to them. Even with their intellect, they were caught in a dilemma as to whether or not to accept it.

Many Dao Lords whispered amongst themselves as they engaged in an intense ideological battle. As for Gu Chen, he closed his eyes and silently healed his injuries.

Thanks to the effects of the Elixir of Life, his injuries healed extremely quickly and he was completely healed in less than two hours.

"Time's up, everyone. It's time for you to make your choice!"

Seeing that it was about time, Dao Lord Xing stood up and spoke with a loud voice.

All the Dao Lords stopped their discussions. However, most of them still had conflicted expressions on their faces.

"How about it? Who's willing to stand by my side? "

Dao Lord Xing spread his arms in a welcoming gesture.

Dao Lord Mad snickered coldly and was the first to walk to his side. The other Dao Lords did not stop him.

Under his lead, three more Daolords walked over, while the rest all stayed where they were.

"Are there only a few people?"

Dao Lord Xing's voice was filled with deep disappointment and anger.

Gu Chen opened his eyes and looked at the situation. He was not surprised by this.

Most Dao Lords were conservative. They were used to controlling situations that they could control and would not want to take risks.

No matter how passionate Dao Lord Xing's words were or how many possibilities he promised, they would always be overcautious because they had lost their ambitions.

Dao Lord Xing could give them two hours, a day and a night, or even a year. It was unlikely that the Dao Lords would be able to come up with a final answer.

If he wanted to tie this group of people onto a ship that had lost control of its future, he would have to …

Gu Chen glanced at Dao Lord Skyeye who was in the crowd.

"Fellow Daoist Su, you're indebted to Yao Jun back then. Why? Now that you have a chance to take revenge for him, you don't even have the courage to do so?"

Dao Lord Xing scanned the crowd and fixed his gaze on Dao Lord Su as he said coldly.

Initially, he had thought that given Dao Lord Su's personality and background, he would be the most likely person to understand and side with him. However, he had not expected the latter to stand still.

If he made a move, with his influence, he would definitely be able to influence the others to follow!

Despite being mocked, Dao Lord Su did not show any signs of anger or embarrassment. He merely smiled and looked meaningfully at Dao Lord Heaveneye like Gu Chen.

"Fellow Daoist Xing misunderstands. I'm just waiting for Fellow Daoist Heaveneye to take the lead."

The moment he said that, many Dao Lords were stunned.

"Fellow Daoist Xing's attack today has caught us unprepared. You must have made a very meticulous plan."

"To kidnap so many people right under our noses, they must have been acting secretly since at least the Celestial Eye Prefecture."

"However, with Fellow Daoist Heaven's Eye's vision that covers the entire universe, how could he not have sensed anything?"

Daolord Su's words caused the hearts of many Daolords to tremble as they looked at Daolord Heaveneye suspiciously.

Everything happened so suddenly that they didn't think about it carefully.

They knew exactly how strong Daolord Heaveneye was. Given that he had always maintained a neutral stance, they had all felt much more relaxed in the Skyeye Commandery.

Others might not have been able to discover Dao Lord Xing and Crazy Dao Lord's actions, but was it possible for Dao Lord Heaveneye?

Even though he had the ability to communicate with Dao Lords through the Chaos Transit Window, how could he not have sensed Dao Lord Xing's existence?

Initially, this was merely a crazy operation by Dao Lord Xing and Crazy Dao Lord. Now that Dao Lord Su mentioned it, it made the entire matter seem even more sinister!

"Initially, I thought that Fellow Daoist Heaven Eye was working together with Fellow Daoist Xing in secret. However, from the looks of it, you're just intentionally going easy on them, right?"

"I wonder if I can know what you're thinking, Fellow Daoist Heaven Eye?"

Dao Lord Su asked sincerely.

Gu Chen was secretly impressed by Dao Lord Su's quick thinking and said everything he wanted to say.

One of the main reasons why he chose to wait and see was because he could not figure out Dao Lord Heaveneye's stance.

Back in the Celestial Eye Prefecture, he had already sensed that Dao Lord Heaveneye's spies were everywhere – the stars in the sky were his eyes.

The stance of this person who had firsthand information would greatly influence the development of the situation today.

"Fellow Daoist Heaven Eye, what do you think?" Dao Lord Xing revealed an expectant expression.

In reality, he did not plan this operation meticulously – it was a choice he made because he had no other choice.

The reason why he decided to take the risk and attack the envoys of the upper world was because he had lost all hope with the White Hair Demon Lord.

He was already surprised that everything from the Celestial Eye Prefecture could proceed smoothly without Dao Lord Heaveneye noticing it.

He did not think much about it previously and merely thought that he was lucky. Dao Lord Su's statement that Dao Lord Heaveneye was going easy reminded him.

Dao Lord Heaveneye sighed leisurely when he saw everyone looking at him.

"For countless years, I've always maintained a neutral stance among the hundred counties and that's why I've gained everyone's trust. I was neutral in the past and I'm still the same now, "

"If you're truly neutral, why did you allow Dao Lord Xing to do something so crazy?"

Dao Lord Qin questioned. If Dao Lord Heaveneye had not intentionally gone easy, his son would not have been kidnapped!

"It's precisely because I'm neutral that I didn't do anything."

Daolord Heaveneye glanced sideways at Daolord Qin. "Everyone has different opinions. Some are willing to join the Higher Realms, while others wish to resist. Only by allowing both opinions to exist can we be considered truly neutral."

"You're just quibbling! Fellow Daoist Heaven Eye, you're truly disappointing! "

Demon Lord Tai Can roared in anger. He felt that Dao Lord Heaveneye was even more despicable than Dao Lord Xing – he had played everyone for a fool.

"Fellow Daoist Heaven Eye is right!"

Dao Lord Xing was delighted – it seemed like Dao Lord Heaveneye was on his side.

"Fellow Daoist Xing, don't celebrate too early. Although I don't object to your actions, I knew that you were still alive a long time ago. Have you ever wondered why I didn't take the initiative to contact you to help you?"

Dao Lord Heaveneye added. Everyone could not help but recall the situation when Dao Lord Xing first lost contact. Back then, Dao Lord Heaveneye said that he could not contact him – he must have hidden it intentionally.

How much information did he have? How many secrets did he know?

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. In the past, Dao Lord Heaveneye had always presented himself as a gentle and harmless person – they had been too careless.

"Why?" Dao Lord Xing asked.

"Because you're too irrational. I saw the battle in the Starsea Ruins. I know very well why you're doing this now."

"You're not sacrificing yourself for your so-called ideals. You're simply doing this to avenge a personal grudge. You lack consideration in your actions and might drag me down with you. That's why I've been biding my time."

Realizing that he had been seen through so thoroughly, Dao Lord Xing snorted coldly.
