I am a loser, but I defeated countless geniuses with the Soul-Calming Tower.

Chapter 2586

"This is the Life and Death Lock. This talisman contains extraordinary power; it can save your life and also lock your heart!"

"Has the Palace Master finally perfected this technique after a thousand years of effort?"

"May Heaven bless my Five Elements Palace!"

The top officials were all greatly encouraged.

The Life and Death Lock is a powerful Taoist technique developed by Xing Yue based on the Immortal Control Talisman.

One reason is to protect their lives; it also contains Xing Yue's power, which can protect their disciples.

The second function is to lock the heart, which ensures the absolute obedience of the locked being.

Xing Yue smiled slightly: "Do you all think that, with the addition of the Life and Death Lock, there is still even the slightest risk?"

"Foolproof!"

The unified voices echoed throughout the hall after Xing Yue finished speaking.

"Hahaha……"

Xing Yue smiled, a hint of greed finally appearing in his usually calm eyes.

However, that hint of greed quickly vanished, and he returned to his original state, regaining his composure and sitting back in the main seat.

"Unfortunately, the Life and Death Lock is not yet fully perfect and has certain flaws. It can be destroyed from the outside, but of course, only extremely powerful forces can do so."

Upon hearing Xing Yue's words, the executives' expressions changed slightly, but in the end, they relaxed.

"Those who can be regarded as having extraordinary power by the Palace Master are probably only the leaders of those few major lineages."

"It may seem like a flaw, but it's really nothing. Could 'Zhao Yan' possibly discover the problem? Even if he did, would the leader of a top-tier sect be willing to intervene on his behalf?"

"Even if all these assumptions are true, we should still kill him before then."

"We can't let him get away with this any longer!"

The higher-ups all chimed in, analyzing everything thoroughly.

Xing Yue remained silent throughout the entire process, until all the senior executives had expressed their opinions, at which point Xing Yue slowly stood up once again.

"If that's the case, then let's spare no expense to get him to the spacetime rift."

"If they can be used by me, that would be best; if not..."

Xing Yue's figure disappeared, and although his words hadn't completely faded, the meaning was already quite clear.

The executives exchanged glances, a sense of relief creeping into their eyes.

Soon, a terrifying pressure appeared in the sky above the capital city.

"coming!"

Yan Bei and Lin Xuan were drinking tea, the tea soup exuding a refined and elegant aroma, clearly indicating its high quality.

However, at this moment, neither of them had the leisure or inclination for such things.

At the same time, he stood up from the table, his gaze piercing through the top of the palace, as if he could see into the outside world.

"Sorry, young man, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way!"

Yan Bei's lips curled into a strange smile.

Lin Xuan revealed a smile that looked more like a grimace, and then he was enveloped by a terrifying force, his body cracking open and causing him to grimace in pain.

A few seconds later, Lin Xuan laboriously activated the power of order to transform into Zhao Yan's appearance. After ensuring everything was foolproof, Yan Bei carried him and disappeared into the palace.

Soon they arrived at the outer sky, where Yan Bei held Lin Xuan, who was lying there like a dead dog, and suspended him in front of Xing Yue's projection.

The sky above the capital city suddenly turned pitch black.

All living beings looked upwards, and the numerous formations within the imperial capital city erupted with unprecedented brilliance at that moment.

Countless figures with vast auras ascended into the sky and stood atop the imperial capital, all looking as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Yan Bei, how dare you inflict such a heavy blow on my Emperor Palace."

A sound like thunderclaps echoed across the sky, shattering the clouds in the distance.

Although Xing Yue was only a projection, his power was extraordinary, capable of intimidating a top-tier lineage.

"Palace Master Xing, what are you saying? Your juniors were disobedient and caused a great disturbance in the capital of my Divine Dynasty, almost leading to a disaster. I am merely giving them a light punishment. What's wrong with that?"

"If I fear your Five Elements Palace, wouldn't that mean anyone can wantonly disrupt the rules of my Divine Dynasty? Where would that leave my Divine Dynasty?"

Yan Bei spoke firmly, showing no fear whatsoever, and faced Xing Yue directly.

Their gazes clashed in the sky, and a terrifying scene of lightning and fire colliding appeared between heaven and earth. Large areas of space were torn apart, and the sky above the imperial capital seemed to have fallen into the apocalypse.
