130: Chapter 130 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
"Is this some kind of evil technique?"
Ren Longzi, upon learning of the horrifying nature of the Blood Spirit Seal, was filled with terror in his eyes.
Hun Tiandi grinned and asked, "How did you find me? How many people came?"
Ren Longzi faced Hun Tiandi's question with defiance in his eyes, staring at him with a ferocious expression.
"Don't dream about it. I will never betray my eldest brother..."
"Courting death..." A cold light flashed in Hun Tiandi's eyes. He immediately activated the Blood Spirit Mark. Ren Longzi let out a shrill, miserable howl, rolling wildly on the ground, clutching his head with both hands.
He smashed his head against the ground frantically, creating deep pits. Waves of pain like a rising tide assaulted his soul.
His eyes were blood-red, and blood flowed from his seven orifices. After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
"Master, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again..." Ren Longzi knelt on the ground, begging frantically.
Hun Tiandi stood like a sword, sipping spirit wine with a cold expression, watching the begging Ren Longzi.
He remained unmoved, continuing to activate the Blood Spirit Mark, as the pain of a thousand cuts continued to assault Ren Longzi's soul.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Ren Longzi's face was as pale as paper, and his aura was weak to the point of vanishing.
"This is the only time. This time was for the duration of an incense stick. Next time..."
Hun Tiandi did not finish his sentence, but the freezing killing intent contained within it filled Ren Longzi with terror.
Ren Longzi's head lolled to the side, and he passed out. Hun Tiandi's figure flickered, landing on a bluestone to wait for him to wake up.
Half an hour later.
Ren Longzi woke up and offered a respectful bow, saying, "Master, the reason we obtained information about you is that Burning Flame Valley passed it to Starfall Pavilion. Pavilion Master You Quan sent us three brothers to track your whereabouts..."
"Once we found and captured you, we were to cripple your Dou Qi and take you back to Starfall Pavilion..."
With terror in his eyes, Ren Longzi revealed everything without holding anything back.
He never wanted to experience the pain brought by the Blood Spirit Mark again in this life.
"Oh? What is your cultivation level, Ren Longzi? And your brothers..." Hun Tiandi asked.
"Replying to Master, this subordinate is a four-star Dou Wang. My second brother, Di Longzi, is a six-star Dou Wang, and my eldest brother, Tian Longzi, is an eight-star Dou Wang... Actually, all these years in Starfall Pavilion, us three brothers have not had it easy, especially with the power struggle between Pavilion Master You Quan and Pavilion Master Mu Qing. There are many factions within Starfall Pavilion..."
Ren Longzi spoke slowly, providing a deeper understanding of the internal workings of Starfall Pavilion.
"Heal your wounds first!"
Hun Tiandi's gaze darkened as he ordered Ren Longzi, then walked to the side to clean the filth from his body and swallowed medicinal pills to heal his own wounds.
"Teacher, do you think that by suppressing and subduing the three Dou Wangs, I might cause Starfall Pavilion to lose its manpower..."
Hun Tiandi asked. An old monster like Elder Dan would naturally understand such matters.
"Three Dou Wangs, mere ant-like existences. It is fine to have them run errands for you after suppressing them..."
Hearing this, the corners of Hun Tiandi's eyes twitched wildly. Dou Wangs running errands?
He feared that even among the younger generation in the Central Plains, there was no such treatment.
However, he still felt a bit excited. Three Dou Wang experts had personally come to attack him; it was giving this nobody too much face.
To have to dispatch three Dou Wang experts to hunt down Hun Tiandi was truly too extravagant, and it also indirectly verified just how terrifying the strength of Starfall Pavilion was.
Relying on these three Dou Wang experts, even intercepting a Dou Huang expert would not be impossible.
However, Starfall Pavilion had miscalculated Hun Tiandi's methods. The Red-Gold Puppet in his hand was his source of confidence.
Elder Dan inside the purple ring was his final trump card.
One day later, Ren Longzi's injuries had fully recovered. Hun Tiandi summoned him and began to lay out his plan.
"Master, this..." Ren Longzi was unwilling to scheme against his own brothers.
"Hmm?" Hun Tiandi's gaze turned cold, and he let out a muffled snort.
"No problem, Master. I will invite my eldest and second brothers here. You can rest assured in my work." Seeing Hun Tiandi's displeasure, Ren Longzi suddenly changed his tune, fawning over him.
He never wanted to experience that kind of life-worse-than-death pain again.
Ren Longzi took out a black jade slip and crushed it with a slight force of his hand. A black light shot up into the sky.
Accompanied by the impact of surging energy, a black dragon shadow formed in the sky, hundreds of feet in size, circling above.
Roar...
Bursts of dragon roars resounded, echoing for hundreds of miles, lingering for a long time.
A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Hun Tiandi's mouth. With a thought, nine Red-Gold Puppets headed in all directions and hid in the shadows.
The benefit of the puppets was that they had no aura when not attacking, only revealing their presence the moment they struck.
"Master, I will go out of the valley now to welcome my eldest and second brothers. Please wait a moment..."
Ren Longzi said respectfully.
Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, unfurled his Dou Qi wings on his back, and swept out toward the outside of the valley.
"Before life and death, everything is exposed..." Hun Tiandi sneered.
As a former clan leader in his past life, Hun Tiandi naturally understood the terrifying nature of human nature. However, he was only planning to subdue the three Dou Wangs to protect him for the time being.
His current strength was still too weak, and he needed experts to follow him and give him time to grow.
Hun Tiandi sipped his spirit wine, waiting quietly for the arrival of the three dragons.
Whoosh...
Outside the valley, Ren Longzi stood on a mountain peak, his gaze calm, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a gray shadow of light came from afar. The Dou Qi wings flapped, and his speed burst forward, landing on the mountain peak.
"Ren Longzi, did you find the trace of Yun Tian when you sent the signal?" After retracting his energy, he revealed his true appearance.
The newcomer was wearing gray-white robes, his long hair half-black and half-white. He held a horsetail whisk, his eyes sharp, and he asked coldly.
"Yes, Second Brother. Yun Tian is in the valley ahead. Fearing that he might escape, I didn't alert him..."
Ren Longzi suppressed the emotions in his heart and said with a face full of smiles.
Di Longzi's intuition told him that something was wrong, but since his own brother spoke, he did not doubt him.
Di Longzi shook his horsetail whisk lightly, seemingly intending to go and attack to capture him and take him back to Starfall Pavilion.
"Second Brother, wait. Don't attack yet. According to the information, that kid is a bit strange. Once he escapes, it will be too difficult to capture him again."
"It's better to wait for Eldest Brother to arrive and act together, so as not to cause complications."
Ren Longzi advised. Di Longzi gave Ren Longzi a deep look, and a trace of panic appeared in Ren Longzi's heart.
He nodded slightly. After waiting for three days, a powerful figure swept across the sky, carrying an incomparable aura toward the mountain peak.
"Eldest Brother has arrived. Get ready to welcome him!" Di Longzi said indifferently.
Ren Longzi nodded, followed behind, and watched the figure rushing over. The brilliance dissipated to reveal an old man with snow-white hair and beard, gentle eyes, holding a horsetail whisk, and an aura like an abyss.
"Greetings, Eldest Brother!" The two, including Di Longzi, bowed respectfully.
"Eldest Brother, that kid is in the valley ahead..." Ren Longzi said.
"Let's act!" Tian Longzi said indifferently.
The three of them flickered and swept toward the valley in front. When they arrived before the valley, they looked at the young man in green robes sitting cross-legged and meditating, and exchanged glances.
"It really is him..." Tian Longzi's expression was calm as he looked at the youth in the valley.
"Eldest Brother, shall we act?" Di Longzi asked. If they completed this mission, the Pavilion Master would reward them with medicinal pills, which would surely allow them to increase their strength by one star.
For Dou Wang experts to increase their strength, besides long and arduous cultivation, they had to rely on the power of medicinal pills.
This greatly shortened the years of hard cultivation. The status of the three of them in Starfall Pavilion was basically low.
If they couldn't grasp this opportunity, then...
