45: besieging Xuanqing

Seeing the other Eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals wavering, that creature spoke once more.

Just now, they had seen Di Jun and Tai Yi let Xuan Qing, a mere Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal, obtain that Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

They were gnashing their teeth in frustration.

Why should a mere Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal creature like Xuan Qing get that Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?

If those two Peak Daluo Golden Immortal powerhouses, Di Jun and Tai Yi, had obtained that Spirit Treasure, they wouldn't have dared to harbor any thoughts.

But it just had to be Xuan Qing, a creature who appeared to only have an Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal cultivation, who got the Spirit Treasure.

They were extremely resentful.

Now, they were harboring ill intentions.

Under that creature's instigation, the other Eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals readily agreed to the proposal.

They couldn't beat The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, but surely they could beat a mere Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal like Xuan Qing.

If the nine of them, all Middle Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals, joined forces, even The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi would have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

If one were to ask why they hadn't dared to join forces against The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi earlier...

The answer would be that they just had diarrhea and a cold. (＞﹏＜)

After finishing their discussion, the nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals swiftly flew in the direction Xuan Qing had left.

"Big brother, since you are trying so hard to win over Xuan Qing, why are you letting those nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals hunt him down?

If Xuan Qing dies at the hands of those nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals, wouldn't your gestures of goodwill be in vain?"

In the Void Realm, Di Jun and Tai Yi had not left; instead, they hid in the void, watching the nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals deliberate.

Seeing the nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals set off in pursuit of Xuan Qing, Tai Yi finally spoke.

"Second brother, you must have also felt a strong sense of threat from that Xuan Qing, right?

For an Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal to actually make us brothers feel threatened... yet what he wields is the Law of Speed.

The Law of Speed isn't powerful enough to make us feel threatened.

Even if he is fast enough to escape from our hands, he definitely shouldn't be able to threaten us.

He must have a great secret, and those nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals are the best choice to test him for us.

Even if Xuan Qing is no match for those nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals, with the Law of Speed and that Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure...

...he should have no problem protecting himself against them."

Dijun said with an expression of one in total control.

"Big brother's calculations are brilliant. This way, we can test Xuan Qing and also appear at the critical moment to make him feel indebted to us.

It's truly a way to kill two birds with one stone.

We should hurry and catch up to see."

Immediately, Di Jun and Tai Yi performed the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique and pursued Xuan Qing and the nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

"Heh, some little mice have caught up. How interesting.

Playing out the scene of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

Unfortunately, I am no cicada, and you are neither mantises nor orioles!"

At the very front of the three groups of experts, Xuan Qing did not immediately activate the exiled immortal wings to leave.

Instead, he traveled at his own speed.

Because the exiled immortal wings still needed to be refined before they could be activated.

Therefore, Xuan Qing's speed did not increase; rather, it slowed down.

Because while traveling, he also had to divert his mental energy to refine the exiled immortal wings.

As such, his speed decreased instead of increasing.

The nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals pursuing from behind, as well as The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi hiding further back...

Xuan Qing's Primordial Spirit sensed them all clearly.

This was the strength of his Primordial Spirit, being formed from a fragment of the Taiqing Hunyuan Golden Immortal's Primordial Spirit.

The range and capability of his Primordial Spirit's perception were much higher than those of an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Even though The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi were at the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level and used concealment techniques, they could not hide from his Primordial Spirit's perception.

Xuan Qing simply stopped to wait for the nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

He didn't like being followed by nine little mice all the time.

Xuan Qing waited in place, and soon nine streaks of light caught up, surrounding him completely.

"What an arrogant act, to actually stop and wait for the enemies."

Seeing Xuan Qing act this way, The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi were somewhat surprised.

They thought Xuan Qing would adopt a kiting strategy to take them down one by one.

They didn't expect him to take on all nine at once.

Even for The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, either of them as a Golden Crow...

...wouldn't dare say they could win with 100% certainty against nine Middle Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses joining forces!

Xuan Qing's behavior was interpreted differently by the nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

"What, not running anymore?

Have you realized that escape is hopeless and are ready to surrender?

Obediently hand over that Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and all the treasures on your person, and I shall leave you an intact corpse!"

The leading Grand Unity Golden Immortal arrogantly brandished the Low Grade Innate Spirit Treasure in his hand.

What the nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals understood was that Xuan Qing was afraid of them, which was why he stopped to surrender.

"You will pay the price for your stupidity."

Xuan Qing spoke expressionlessly.

If he didn't show some skill, these guys would really think he was weak.

They didn't use their brains to think: even The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were Peak Daluo Golden Immortals, wanted to befriend him.

Was it because they thought he was weak?

They were truly blinded by greed.

"Hahaha, everyone, did you hear that?

A mere Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal, what price does he think he can make me pay?

This is the funniest joke I've heard since I was born."

The nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals immediately burst into laughter.

However, in the next instant, the laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Xuan Qing's figure suddenly appeared in front of the speaking Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"What!!?

When did he?!"

That Grand Unity Golden Immortal hadn't sensed Xuan Qing's movement at all; it was as if Xuan Qing had been standing in front of him all along.

"Is it very funny?"

Xuan Qing reached out in an ordinary manner and grabbed the other's head in his hand.

"Cough~! Cough~!"

That Grand Unity Golden Immortal watched helplessly as Xuan Qing's hand reached for his head.

With such an ordinary-looking grab, he actually found himself completely powerless to resist.

His power and thoughts seemed to be completely locked down under Xuan Qing's ordinary grabbing motion.

From others' perspective, he looked as if he had been paralyzed.

He didn't resist at all under Xuan Qing's hand, standing still and letting Xuan Qing grab his head.

The remaining Eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals looked toward Xuan Qing in terror.

They simply couldn't understand how Xuan Qing had attacked, or how he had made their ally be captured so submissively.

"Big brother, did you see anything?

That Grand Unity Golden Immortal actually had no power to resist and was caught by Xuan Qing's ordinary move."

In the back, Di Jun and Tai Yi were equally surprised as they watched Xuan Qing strike.

Tai Yi actually hadn't discovered what kind of power Xuan Qing had used.

In other words, even if he were to face Xuan Qing, he might also fall victim to it.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

Dijun didn't speak but stared intently at Xuan Qing's position.

He had been staring at Xuan Qing just now; even so, he only felt the other party mobilizing a strange power.

In an instant, that Grand Unity Golden Immortal was suppressed.

As for exactly what power Xuan Qing had used, Dijun really hadn't figured it out.
