The people of the four major sects fiercely surrounded them, while the subordinates of the Beigong War God in the center showed no sign of panic.


    Each person held weapons and fiercely red at the people of the four major sects, each with a do-or-die expression, determined to fight to the end with them.


    The Beigong War God stood in mid-air, surrounded by eight people, led by the Sky de Peak Master.


    "Beigong War God, we meet again!" Sky de Peak Master sneered, "As they say, a wise man submits to circumstance. You''re considered a smart person, so why do you act so clueless?"


    "How am I clueless?" the Beigong War God retorted coldly, "I''ve always known how to make the right choices. I know you''re the wicked ones, so I''ll never conspire with you!"


    The Sky de Peak Master''s face turned cold. He had intended to mock the Beigong War God, but unexpectedly, the Beigong War God mocked him right back.


    "Beigong War God, don''t you see the current situation? How dare you be so arrogant!" a man shouted from not far away, "Do you really think we can''t kill you?"


    "Then kill me if you can, what''s the point of all this chatter with me? Are you that idle?" the Beigong War God replied.


    "You..." the man fumed, wanting to say more, but an elderly man beside him chuckled lightly, "Don''t get angry, Beigong War God. We see you as a talent, which is why we''ve repeatedly let you go. Honestly, joining us in the Heavenly Court wouldn''t be bad at all. Look at the Jade-faced Judge; after joining us, he held his own. If you''re willing to join the Heavenly Court, you can enjoy the same privileges. Moreover, once wepletely expel the Southern Paradise from Huaxia, our territory will expand even further. By then, you''ll have much more control, not just over the northern three provinces!"


    "What, can you make me the Heavenly Court Master?" the Beigong War God asked.


    The old man''s expression slightly changed. Chatting with the Beigong War God like this was fruitless.


    A man shouted angrily, "Beigong War God, you''re quite bold. Want to be the Heavenly Court Master? Why not go ahead and aim to be the Lord of Heaven? Do you think that highly of yourself?"


    "Heh…" the Beigong War God sneered, "That''s just who I am, better to be a lesser leader than arger follower. Since I can''t be the Heavenly Court Master, I''ll remain the master of my own territory; I''m not used to being ackey for others!"


    His words caused the faces of the people from the four major sects to change; he had thoroughly insulted them all.


    "What do you mean!" they angrily reprimanded.


    "I said, you''re all a bunch of dogs, did you understand?" the Beigong War God shouted.


    The whole scene erupted, and everyone was thoroughly enraged.


    "Beigong War God!" the previously calm old man fumed, "I''ve seen potential in you, initially admired your talent, so I tolerated you time and again. Do you really think we can''t handle you? Since you''re so ungrateful, don''t me us for being discourteous!"


    After speaking, the old man suddenly raised his hand. Instantly, several cold shes flew from behind him, heading straight for the Beigong War God.


    These cold shes were initially just sparks of light, but as they flew towards the Beigong War God, they grew brighter. Eventually, each sh turned into a red glow, like a massive halo, fiercely enveloping the Beigong War God.


    There were five cold shes, transformed into five halos that aimed to encircle the Beigong War God''s neck, hands, and feet, ready to directly control him.


    "Lingxiao Hall''s Immortal Binding Rope!" the Beigong War God snorted dismissively, allowing the five halos to bind him. Then, he suddenly let out a loud shout, channeling his internal power to surge towards the five halos.


    The five halos, under the impact of that power, couldn''t hold for long and swiftly shattered, turning into speckles of starlight, scattering.


    Once these starlightsnded, everyone saw clearly that these were fragments of metal. The carriers of those halos were actually five metal rings!


    The old man''s face changed, blurting out, "How is this possible?"


    "Why wouldn''t it be possible?" the Beigong War God coldly replied, "Lingxiao Hall''s Immortal Binding Rope binds Immortals. I''m a mere mortal; how can you bind me? The nature of our powers is different. You can seal an Immortal''s power, but you can''t seal mine. This kind of petty trick shouldn''t be shown off."


    The old man was extremely annoyed, admitting that the Immortal Binding Rope was indeed less effective on mortals. But the problem was those halos also carried his own power, which didn''t distinguish between Immortals and mortals. Yet, the halos couldn''tst even a minute on the Beigong War God, breaking apart immediately. Didn''t this mean that his power was vastly inferior to the Beigong War God''s?


    The old man had never shed with the Beigong War God before, always thinking that no matter how strong he was, he was still just a mortal and couldn''t be that strong. So, before this battle began, he boasted in front of many that he could defeat the Beigong War God alone.


    Who knew that his first move would be so disadvantageous? The gap between them made him realize that, in a one-on-one fight, he wouldn''t even have the chance to escape!


    Thus, he no longer harbored the desire to fight the Beigong War God and directly took a step back, saying sternly, "Sky de Peak Master, this aberrant is yours to handle, we''ll provide protection!"


    The others, regardless of whether they had witnessed the Beigong War God''s strength, were now too cautious to act presumptuously. After all, the old man from Lingxiao Hall was considered one of their stronger members, and seeing him suffer such a loss, who would dare to face humiliation?


    The Sky de Peak Master had fought the Beigong War God once before, so he was well aware of thetter''s strength. He took a deep breath, gathering his power again, and a long de subtly took shape in his hand.


    The Beigong War God gave him a nce, frowning slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I didn''t expect that in such a short time, your power would improve once more!"


    Sky de Peak Master was filled with pride, "In these life-and-death battles, my insights have deepened considerably. Especially after fighting Ye Sword Saint, I experienced an unprecedented new realm. Beigong War God, the present is unlike the past; you can no longer be my match. As I said before, a wise man submits to circumstance!"


    The Beigong War God remained calm, replying coldly, "We haven''t fought yet, do you really think you''ve already won?"


    "Ha, do you need to ask?" Sky de Peak Master sneered, "Do you think you still have a chance of defeating me?"


    "We''ll see after the fight!" the Beigong War God shouted coldly, suddenly charging forward directly towards the Sky de Peak Master.
