Chapter 2048: Chapter 2053: Drama Kings
Zheng Qi was somewhat reluctant to move forward.
He decided to reappear only after Huang Gui and the others suffered losses.
Along the way, he was truly fed up.
Huang Gui was really good at pretending.
The Nascent Soul Early-Stage expert ahead should give him a profound lesson.
"Go ahead, I’m also curious about what’s inside the valley, perhaps it’s the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit?"
Xia Liu smiled slightly.
Just a Nascent Soul Early-Stage.
He had already slain one before.
"Daoist Fellow Liu’s courage is indeed worthy of my learning!"
Zheng Qi praised.
Knowing full well that the opponent was a Nascent Soul Early-Stage Cultivator.
Yet still willing to accompany Huang Gui and the others.
It seems Xia Liu, like me, is deeply hidden!
Soon, the five of them arrived in front of the valley.
Ahead, an old man with white hair was battling a spirit beast with a completely black body.
The spirit beast had a pair of antennae, in a humanoid form.
For a spirit beast to have such a physique, it exuded a special power.
It certainly possessed a special exotic force.
"No wonder a physical struggle is needed, this exotic beast probably has the exotic technique of absorbing spiritual energy!"
Zheng Qi exclaimed.
There are many spirit beasts that can absorb a cultivator’s power.
But they mostly exist in classical mythology.
The one before them was just Zheng Qi’s guess.
However, the outcome was close enough!
"This old man doesn’t reveal a single aura, seems like he has a secret technique!"
Huang Gui was not panicked.
He had seen these kinds of people often.
There were two in his team.
Clearly only Golden Pill Mid-Stage and Golden Pill Early-Stage.
Yet they act as mysterious as Nascent Soul experts.
Completely laughable!
"Let’s wait for this old man to repel the exotic beast, then we’ll go up."
"Of course! The treasures will all be ours!"
Huang Gui looked at the delicate and smiling Ding Liu, continuously moving his body closer to her.
Planning to take more action.
Just as Huang Gui’s hand wanted to make another move.
The exotic beast fighting the old man suddenly roared in anger.
Roar!
A thunderous roar, sweeping out with an aura rivaling the power of a Nascent Soul.
Feeling this aura, the faces of Huang Gui, Ding Liu, and the others turned pale with fright.
They dared not make any move.
Quietly watching ahead.
The next moment, after unleashing its power, the completely black exotic beast.
Evaded the old man’s simple punch, its body continuously retreating.
Finally disappearing into the valley.
The old man who fought the exotic beast turned around.
A cold expression on his face.
His hands swayed by his sides with the wind.
As if both hands were broken.
"Are you the ones calling this old man?"
"Are you the ones who scared away the exotic beast?"
The old man’s words were very plain.
But when they reached Ding Liu and Huang Gui’s ears.
It was like rolling Heavenly Thunder.
Intimidating them to the point of being unable to control themselves.
Huang Han’s situation was no better.
Feeling the old man’s oppressive force.
She directly knelt to the ground.
Aside from Xia Liu and Zheng Qi being exceptional.
It was hard to describe.
"Nascent Soul Stage Expert!"
Feeling the old man’s aura, Huang Gui nearly broke down in tears.
To save his life, he quickly knelt, his whole body pressed against the ground: "Spare me, senior!"
"Spare you? Go to the Netherworld and ask King Yan to spare you!"
The old man, consumed by rage.
Was about to strike.
It was hard-won to drive the exotic beast to this point.
Only to have it scared away by a group of clueless Golden Pill Stage cultivators.
He couldn’t relieve his resentment without killing them!
"Please, senior, spare us! We came here entirely because of our young master! It was them who commanded me to come and snatch the senior’s treasure!"
Huang Gui’s words made the old man halt his actions.
It also made Ding Liu and Huang Han freeze in place.
They seemed to have found a path to survival!
"Yes, senior! It was all our young master’s doing!"
"Please understand, senior, it was not us who disturbed you, but we were compelled! If not done, our young master would have killed us!"
Huang Han and Ding Liu were such actors.
Since Huang Gui had already directed his scheme at Xia Liu and Zheng Qi.
If they still held any compassion.
They would definitely end up buried here.
Sacrificing Xia Liu and Zheng Qi to save three lives.
Was very worth it!
Especially since Xia Liu and Zheng Qi looked pale and clean, without any signs of wear.
Clearly from a wealthy family, just like young masters hiding behind their guards.
Xia Liu and Zheng Qi were completely bewildered.
To survive, Ding Liu and Huang Han actually had this kind of tactic.
It was truly eye-opening.
The two had confidence, not offering any rebuttal.
Of course, they couldn’t refute.
Huang Gui and the others were three mouths strong.
And their servitude was so strong.
Kneeling at the sight of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Easily identified as some sort of servants.
No matter how much they argued, the old man probably wouldn’t believe them.
"Are you the ones who instructed them to sabotage me?"
The old man lowered his voice.
Anyone could sense the anger exuding from him.
If Xia Liu and Zheng Qi spoke up.
He would immediately make a move.
With a single move, both killed!
Zheng Qi didn’t respond, instead looking at Xia Liu and said: "Daoist Fellow Liu, where do you plan to head next?"
"If there’s no surprise, I plan to visit the Youdu District to have a look. If I can’t find the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit, I’ll continue to explore elsewhere, if there’s no match, there’s nothing I can do."
Xia Liu wasn’t sure if this venture could find the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit.
He could only do his best.
Exerting all his strength!
"The Youdu District is extremely dangerous, with just the aura alone, relying on your power, you might not last long, if you trust me enough, I’m willing to accompany you."
"If Daoist Fellow Zheng is willing to help, I, Xia, am grateful!"
Xia Liu cupped his fists and said.
"Haha, no need to be polite."
...
The conversation between the two made Huang Gui and the others excited and thrilled.
Because they completely disregarded the Nascent Soul Stage old man.
This meant they indirectly admitted to being the young masters they mentioned!
Haha!
In this way, the old man would surely kill them in anger.
And then pity their status as merely guards and maids, letting them off this time.
Even if not, the old man was a male cultivator.
Then let Huang Han and Ding Liu use their original charms.
After a rainstorm, they should be able to escape this disaster.
"You really deserve to die!"
After a moment of silence, the old man grew thunderously furious.
The Nascent Soul Early-Stage peak’s oppressive force mercilessly struck forth.
First to bear the brunt were Huang Gui and the three, their foundations were injured, causing them to vomit blood.
Xia Liu and Zheng Qi, however, remained unmoved.
Their bodies like solid rock, immune to the wild wind, unscathed by the violent rain.
"Hmph! No matter which prominent family you descend from, daring to sabotage this old man’s plan! The result is only one, death!"
The word ’death’ fell, the old man’s fury coalesced for a strike, intending to instantly obliterate Xia Liu and Zheng Qi.
Just then, a voice sounded in his mind: "If you dare to move an inch further, your nascent soul will shatter!"
Boom, boom, boom!!!
The Spirit Sound like thunder, churned violently in the old man’s mind.
Feeling the opponent’s power, the old man immediately restrained his aura.
Then waves of blood mist surged from his body, disappearing from the clearing in the blink of an eye.
This scene left Huang Gui and the others dumbfounded.
Even Xia Liu frowned tightly.
What just happened, he was completely unaware.
It was like seeing a ghost...
