704: Chapter 704 Together We Protect the Sun

Those from the True Spirit Immortal Dynasty—the ones missing arms and legs, the ones with only their Primordial Spirit remaining, and those with only half a body left—all stood frozen in place, staring at you with wide eyes.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Jingkong looked at Yan Ji before him and suddenly raised his hand—

"Slap!"

He slapped Yan Ji across the face.

Yan Ji covered the red mark on her cheek, glaring fiercely at Jingkong.

But when she saw your gaze sweep over, her body stiffened, and she pouted aggrievedly, not daring to move.

Seeing this, Jingkong chuckled, "Hit me then, go on, hit me!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand again and slapped her—

"Slap!"

A bright red handprint also swelled up on the other side of Yan Ji's face.

Her eyes turned red, and she glared at Jingkong, her teeth chattering.

"Hit me, go on, hit me!" Jingkong laughed, tilting his head back, then pressed his palms together, "Amitabha, my sins, my sins."

Elder Qi finally spoke, "Fellow Daoist Qin, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Do you really intend to fight the Heavenly Palace to the death?"

You turned to look at him, thought for a moment, and said in a detached tone, "Take your people and get out."

Elder Qi was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief and waved to everyone, "Retreat!"

Everyone acted as if they had been granted amnesty, flashing away and returning to the giant ship in the sky.

The next second, a crack in the Void Realm tore open in front of the giant ship, and it zipped inside, disappearing from sight.

You watched the crack slowly close and put away your immortal sword.

You naturally let Elder Qi go on purpose.

For one thing, your trump cards had not been fully exposed.

Secondly, you knew that the Heavenly Palace had three factions.

After Patriarch Sima Gongzhi fell, the faction led by Elder Qi became even weaker.

Elder Qi was more useful alive than dead.

However, after this, the Luck of the Heavenly Palace would definitely decrease again—killing their high-level members would damage their Luck, and crushing their morale would do the same.

But you had to be prepared for both scenarios.

You immediately moved your mind, sending a secret voice transmission into the Jade Slip inside your qiankun ring—the message was sent to Murong Changge of the Wuji Immortal Sect, telling them to prepare for a great war.

Lin Feng gathered his courage and walked over, bowing and cupping his fists to you, "Thank you, Senior, for your righteous intervention."

You looked at him, covered in blood, not knowing what to say, and simply nodded slightly.

Huangfu Zhanming also walked over, bowing and cupping his fists, "Senior's great kindness is something my Family will never forget. In the future, if Senior has any orders, we will obey without question."

You waved your hand, "It is no matter. I am already at odds with the Heavenly Palace; helping you is also helping myself."

Huangfu Zhanming looked at you and asked nervously, "Since Senior is also dissatisfied with the Heavenly Palace, then why don't you..."

He did not finish, but you understood what he meant.

"The Heavenly Palace has many Mahayana retainers; killing just Qi Yuan would be useless." Your tone was calm.

In truth, you did not kill him simply because you did not want to expose your trump cards in front of everyone and thereby attract the attention of Venerable Tianming.

After all, just slashing him a few times with your immortal sword would not be enough to kill him.

Huangfu Zhanming's eyes lit up, and he nodded, smiling, "I understand. Senior is truly thoughtful; this Junior admires you."

You looked around at the palace, which had become a ruin, and then at the people meditating and adjusting their breathing everywhere, and said slowly, "Tianyang Star may no longer be safe. You should pack up quickly and head to the Wuji Immortal Sect."

After speaking, without the space even shifting, you vanished.

Others had not even had time to react; seeing you had already left, they all dragged their heavily injured bodies and cupped their fists in unison:

"Thank you, Senior, for your great kindness!"

"Thank you, Senior, for your great kindness!"

Jingkong smiled and looked at Gu Lingshuang, pressing his palms together, "Amitabha, did I not say so? Benefactor Lin is a person of great Luck and will not die. Do you believe me now?"

Gu Lingshuang's aura was weak; she had used all her strength earlier to whip Liu Xuanyin, so she just glared at him and did not reply.

Chu Yiyi picked up the qiankun ring of True Lord Piaomiao from the ground, scanned it with her Divine Sense, and laughed happily, "This old thing has plenty of good items; it makes up for our losses this time. We will divide them later."

Tang Zhan frowned, "This is Senior's spoils of war; how dare you take it?"

Chu Yiyi said with a grin, "Pfft, Senior just sent me a voice transmission; he has no interest in all the qiankun rings on the ground and told us to take them ourselves."

She was not lying.

You had indeed told her that via voice transmission.

You had long since scanned those qiankun rings with your Divine Sense; the items inside were of little use to you, but to them, those Heaven And Earth Treasures and Top-Grade Spirit Stones were enough to recover quite a bit of strength.

Hearing this, the others looked at the ten thousand qiankun rings on the ground, a light of joy flashing in their eyes.

They had just been wondering—why did you not want any of the qiankun rings from these ten thousand Spirit Transformation Cultivators?

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "Since that is the case, let us collect them all and split them evenly later."

"That is right, hurry up," added Huangfu Zhanming, "After we recover for a moment, we must leave Tianyang Star as soon as possible."

"Amitabha." Jingkong pressed his palms together, "Senior saved us, but the Heavenly Palace might come to kill us in force; should we not stay and fight side by side with him?"

Jingkong's words made everyone fall silent.

Lin Feng looked at everyone, and finally exchanged a glance with Huangfu Zhanming, both nodding at the same time, "Everyone below the Void Refining stage must evacuate; the rest of us will stay and defend Tianyang Star together."

Everyone nodded and began to divide the work—splitting the loot, evacuating, and recovering—all done in one go.

Huangfu Zhanming also immediately rushed to Tianyang City and took away the core module of the inter-stellar Teleportation Array.

Inside the imperial city, the Cultivators everywhere, watching these changes, also fell into a brief silence.

After a brief silence, an uproar broke out.

"Am I dreaming? The True Spirit Immortal Dynasty was almost destroyed; how can it still be fine?" A young male Cultivator rubbed his eyes.

"This Immortal Venerable Qin is extraordinary, truly extraordinary." An old man stroked his beard in admiration.

"Immortal Venerable Qin is so powerful, I really want to be pinned beneath him." A young, beautiful female Cultivator's eyes shone.

A small child next to her looked up at the young female Cultivator, looking puzzled, "Why not sit on top? Isn't it uncomfortable being pinned down?"

The young female Cultivator looked down at the little brat and smiled, "Adult matters, kids shouldn't pry."

The child nodded earnestly.

Also, at the Bai Family residence, everyone in the Bai Family took a deep breath.

"Fortunately, fortunately, we did not blindly choose a side." The Bai Family Clan Leader's voice was very low.

Bai Sheng looked at the Clan Leader and the Old Ancestor, the corners of his mouth curling up, "Old Ancestor, Clan Leader, this is a great opportunity to annex the Wei Family."

The Bai Family Old Ancestor glared at him, "When will you ever improve? After this mess, do you think Tianyang Star will be peaceful?"

He paused, then scanned the Bai Family members, "Everyone listen to my order: pack everything up and move away from Tianyang Star."

All the Bai Family members finally came to their senses, nodding repeatedly, and scattered in a swarm—each packing their things, gathering their clansmen, and preparing to evacuate.

Countless people had the same idea as the Bai Family.

It was just a pity that the core module of the inter-stellar Teleportation Array in Tianyang City had been taken away by Huangfu Zhanming.

For a time, Tianyang City was packed with people.
