In the chat group, a host of lurking treasures were disturbed by the endless bickering between the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Measure Heaven Ruler.
Tai Chi Diagram: What? Are you two reenacting Zhunti and Jieyin again?
Pangu Banner: Haha! These two from the West, how did they end up with traitors like you among their treasures!
Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: What traitorous talk is this? I am purely acting in self-preservation. What Daoist Zhunti does has absolutely nothing to do with me, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree!
Jieyin Exquisite Lamp: Indeed, what Daoist Jieyin does has absolutely nothing to do with me, the Jieyin Exquisite Lamp!
Measure Heaven Ruler: Stop trying to distance yourselves. If something happens to them, you won't escape either!
Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: Your words are infuriating. I've restrained my power and haven't taken in your two lackeys, what more do you want me to do?
Jieyin Exquisite Lamp: Exactly. Instead of spewing threats, why don't you hurry over!
Measure Heaven Ruler: Do you think I don't want to? The prohibition at Mount Buzhou is so heavy that I can't even fly. What can I, a mere treasure, do?
The Measure Heaven Ruler naturally wanted to rush to the rescue immediately, but as he said, the prohibition at Mount Buzhou was too heavy. Even though Xu Fang was rushing at full speed following his guidance, it was still incredibly slow. As treasures, they could not stray too far from their masters, and could only watch as the situation worsened, filled with anxiety.
Xu Fang saw the messages in the chat group and felt even more distraught. Was he really only going to collect the corpses of Da Peng and Ao Xue?
Yuan Tu: Are you guys going to keep squabbling endlessly? Can you be quiet for a bit?
Abi: Exactly. There's a bright light emanating from the front, could it be you, Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, causing trouble?
Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: Are you nearby? Excellent! Quickly drag Old Ancestor Ming He over to fight me!
Jieyin Exquisite Lamp: Yes, yes, hurry up, we can't keep this up any longer!
Upon hearing the words of Yuan Tu and Abi, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Jieyin Exquisite Lamp were overjoyed. They urged Yuan Tu and Abi to bring Old Ancestor Ming He to join the battle. Yuan Tu and Abi were treasures of slaughter, and it would be reasonable for them to fight to a stalemate. This way, they could stall for time.
However, Yuan Tu and Abi clearly had no interest in this and refused.
Yuan Tu: Forget it, forget it, I don't want to get involved in your grudges. It's all too complicated.
Abi: Exactly. Old Ancestor Ming He feels the same. He's already preparing to leave.
Yuan Tu and Abi were telling the truth. Currently, Old Ancestor Ming He was concealing his aura and watching quietly from the side.
"This brat from the Phoenix clan is quite impressive, to be able to break through on the battlefield, truly astonishing!" Looking out, he saw that although the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue were inferior in cultivation to the two from the West, and their treasure grades were far below theirs, they were still resisting stubbornly, preventing the two from the West from suppressing them. It couldn't be said to be a stalemate, but they were unyielding and admirable.
"However, what does this have to do with me?" Old Ancestor Ming He shook his head. He recognized these four; they had all listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace. If it were any other time, he wouldn't mind stepping in to teach those two shameless individuals from the West a lesson, but he had no such inclination at the moment.
"This opportunity is not far off. I cannot be distracted." Old Ancestor Ming He shook his head. He had just sensed a fortuitous encounter and was about to arrive there. Naturally, he didn't want any detours and intended to leave.
Xu Fang was pleasantly surprised to see the messages in the chat group. Old Ancestor Ming He was the only sliver of hope for the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue. How could he let this opportunity slip away? The Measure Heaven Ruler also understood this and immediately began calling out in the chat group.
Measure Heaven Ruler: No way, no way? Are the so-called Blood Sea Twin Stars so cowardly?
Phoenix Staff: Exactly, exactly. These two who bully the weak and fear the strong, how can they be called Blood Sea Twin Stars? It would be better to let the Karma Fire Red Lotus be called the Blood Sea Single Bloom!
Karma Fire Red Lotus: Thanks for the compliment, but I won't make a move.
Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: Enough, enough. The treasures of the Blood Sea flee at the mere mention of my name, don't they?
Jieyin Exquisite Lamp: Indeed, indeed. How can those treasures from the Blood Sea be compared to our Western treasures?
Yuan Tu: Although I know you're trying to provoke us, why do I still feel a surge of anger? How can you look down on treasures like this?
Abi: Stop with the nonsense. These guys are disgusting, aren't they? Let them see what the Blood Sea Twin Stars are! Blood Sea Twin Stars, request to engage!
As Yuan Tu and Abi spoke, they immediately soared from Old Ancestor Ming He, transforming into two streaks of light and flying towards the battlefield.
"..."
Old Ancestor Ming He stared at the two flying swords in shock. How could it be that just as he was preparing to leave, these two swords flew off on their own! Seeing the swords flying further and further away, Old Ancestor Ming He couldn't afford to think too much. Gritting his teeth, he quickly pursued them.
Xu Fang looked at the messages in the group and then at the treasure map beside him, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, Yuan Tu and Abi couldn't stand the provocation and had already made their move. They could completely help him stall for some time. At this moment, the Measure Heaven Ruler's voice came, sounding very relaxed.
"No rush now. I pulled some strings, and those two brats are safe for now. Don't ask. Don't ask too many questions about things you shouldn't know."
Xu Fang couldn't help but chuckle at the Measure Heaven Ruler's mysterious words. What "pulled some strings"? Wasn't it just provoking the Blood Sea Twin Stars? However, since the Measure Heaven Ruler said so, Xu Fang's pace slowed considerably, and he relaxed.
Kong Xuan was quite puzzled. Why was he so anxious just now, and now he was so calm?
At this moment, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin, working together, had already pushed the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue to their limit. Even though treasures like the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree were slacking off, the gap in strength between the two sides was still too obvious. Victory or defeat was only a matter of time.
"Hmph!" Daoist Zhunti let out a cold snort, looking coldly at the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue. "No matter how hard you try, you are merely making a last stand. Prepare to die!"
"Indeed. Don't blame us for being ruthless. It's only because you followed the wrong person!" Daoist Jieyin echoed, then exchanged a glance with Daoist Zhunti, nodded, and prepared to deliver the final fatal blow to kill Xu Fang's two followers.
"Xiao Xue, I'm sorry. I still couldn't protect you!" The Golden-Winged Great Peng looked at Ao Xue, filled with guilt and sorrow, as well as infinite affection.
"Don't be afraid. We'll die together." Ao Xue stood firmly with the Golden-Winged Great Peng, holding his hand. Since they couldn't live on, dying together would be a good ending, wouldn't it?
"What a deeply affectionate pair! You two be lovebirds who die together!" Daoist Zhunti showed no mercy. He roared and was about to deliver the final fatal blow. Just then, two beams of light shot over rapidly, directly colliding with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree!
