541: Miserable Jin Feng, no passion at all!

The phantom on the communication Magic Treasure instantly vanished, leaving only Qu Hongkai standing in place, laughing loudly once more. His laughter was filled with greed and arrogance, echoing in the air for a long time.

Wei Feiyu and Yuan Yinqiu on the ground heard the conversation between the two clearly. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with horror and despair.

Wei Feiyu's lips trembled as he muttered,

"Senior Lu Hao... is actually a One-Source Supreme? But... but this one in front of us is a Three-Source Supreme... and his accomplice is also a Three-Source Supreme..."

Yuan Yinqiu's face turned even paler. He struggled to raise his head, looking at Wei Feiyu, his voice so weak it was almost inaudible:

"A One-Source Supreme... how could he possibly defeat two Three-Source Supremes... We... we're probably really finished this time... Senior Lu Hao will also be finished."

Wei Feiyu's heart instantly sank to the bottom. He began to worry about Lu Hao, forgetting that he himself was now a prisoner!

...

Counting the days, the Eastern Region Relic would reopen in thirty days, and all the Cultivators inside would come out by then.

Lu Hao stood in the bamboo forest, faint spiritual power swirling around his fingertips, but his gaze drifted involuntarily into the distance.

In these past days, he had been unable to sense the Qi of Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox. That worry was like a spiderweb, tightening more and more in his heart.

"What exactly went wrong?"

He murmured to himself, his brows slightly furrowed:

"Even if they accidentally entered some Legacy site, by all accounts, news should have returned by now. Could it be that they encountered some danger in the Legacy?"

If not for Little Green being by Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox's side, and Lu Hao being able to sense that the two were not in mortal danger,

he would have long since been unable to suppress the anxiety in his heart and would have turned that Relic upside down.

Finally, Lu Hao took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions:

"Wait one more month. If there's still no news after the Relic opens, then I will dig three feet into the entire Relic to find them!"

Currently, by Lu Hao's side, Demonic Thought had become everyone's source of joy. He had a childlike Heart-Nature and often made everyone laugh incessantly.

On the other side, after Qu Hongkai learned that Lu Hao's cultivation was merely that of a One-Source Supreme, he immediately accelerated the looting of Luo Yu Province.

He swept through like a hurricane. Within just two days, he had plundered all the Cultivators in the Yang Shi Realm in Luo Yu Province. Their Storage Pouches were thoroughly emptied, and the people themselves were forcibly suppressed and thrown into a spatial Magic Treasure.

When the last Yang Solid Cultivator was enveloped in golden light and sucked into the Magic Treasure, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Qu Hongkai's mouth, and his gaze sharply turned towards Thousand Stars State.

Without the slightest hesitation, his figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Thousand Stars State at extreme speed!

As for Gold Edge, he no longer had any value as a guide, so he was naturally casually thrown into that spatial Magic Treasure as well.

When Gold Edge was first thrown in, he still wanted to kneel and beg Qu Hongkai for mercy, crying that he had suffered hardships even if he had no merits. But Qu Hongkai didn't even lift an eyelid. He directly set up a Seal to block his cultivation and then threw him into the spatial Magic Treasure.

Inside the spatial Magic Treasure, all the Cultivators' cultivation was sealed, but they could still move freely.

When everyone saw Gold Edge also being thrown in, the previously calm scene instantly erupted!

"Gold Edge! You traitor! How come you're also thrown in now?"

"You dog, if it weren't for you insisting on snatching our Magic Treasures, how could such a big commotion have been caused, allowing these two to find our location? How could we have ended up like this?"

"And you, you actually voluntarily surrendered to the two, willing to be their dog! Weren't you quite arrogant normally? How come at this moment, you bend your back faster than anyone else?!"

"Exactly! For your own selfish desires, you betrayed your fellow Disciples. Today, you will definitely pay the price!"

Curses rose and fell, and then, everyone swarmed forward like hungry wolves, punching and kicking Gold Edge.

Even the few who had previously cooperated with Gold Edge to snatch the Immortal Artifact now struck with ruthless force!

After all, if it weren't for Gold Edge secretly instigating everyone back then, they would never have thought of acting like this!

Unfortunately, without the enhancement of cultivation, their fists landing on Gold Edge only made him wince in pain, but they couldn't fatally injure him at all.

So, someone suggested:

"We'll split into small teams and take turns beating him! Let him have no peace day or night!"

This suggestion quickly received everyone's approval!

And so, "Beating Teams" took turns. When one team got tired, the next team immediately took over. The screams, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, echoed for a long time in the spatial Magic Treasure.

Outside, Qu Hongkai was deaf to it all, even a cold sneer on his lips.

He had deliberately sealed Gold Edge's cultivation and thrown him in to let those who had been harmed by Gold Edge "entertain" him properly.

Qu Hongkai was arrogant, but he most despised those who betrayed trust. The reason he and Yang Yuansi could trust each other so much was because one valued loyalty and righteousness!

Gold Edge's predicament was nothing but his own doing.

...

Outside Wuji Pavilion, a black shadow slowly appeared like a ghost, its aura perfectly contained, causing no disturbance. It was Qu Hongkai, who had rushed there at extreme speed.

He ultimately listened to Yang Yuansi's persuasion and decided to rein in his sharp edge and act cautiously.

Previously, Yang Yuansi had informed him of the method to "possess a Wuji Pavilion Disciple and infiltrate the Pavilion." Qu Hongkai waited outside the Pavilion for half an hour and finally found a Disciple with decent talent who could enter the area where Shi Chenghua was located.

However, Qu Hongkai had no patience for playing the role of an old man imparting power. A faint, imperceptible black Qi flashed on his fingertip, silently invading the Disciple's Sea of Consciousness.

He instantly controlled the other's mind, and then, using the Disciple's identity, he slowly walked into Wuji Pavilion.

Not long after, he met up with Yang Yuansi in Shi Chenghua's room.

As soon as he entered, Qu Hongkai saw Yang Yuansi tinkering with something and couldn't help but roll his eyes, his tone full of impatience:

"Old Yang, what are you up to now? Why not just charge in and deal with him? Is a mere One-Source Supreme really worth all this caution?"

Yang Yuansi was focused on arranging the Formation Plate in his hand. Hearing this, he slowly shook his head, his voice calm but with an undeniable firmness:

"I told you before, this Lu Hao is by no means an ordinary One-Source Supreme. To be absolutely safe, it's never wrong to make more preparations."

"Tch!"

Qu Hongkai scoffed, sitting down on a nearby chair, his legs crossed high:

"Being brothers with you is so boring! You always dither before doing anything big, with no passion at all!"
