162: Chapter 162 The Hunt for Immortal Treasures, The Lament of the Ancient Realm Heavenly Monarch

"You... you're threatening me!"

Blood Qi condensed continuously in Mei Nianjiao's palm.

But, with a flash of the Formation, the blood Qi collapsed and dispersed in an instant.

Her mind suddenly fell into a panic.

"This... what kind of Formation is this!?"

"This Formation can isolate everything; no matter what you are, you won't escape," Qin Tian said indifferently.

"My patience is limited. I'll give you ten breaths of time to consider."

Mei Nianjiao's breathing was rapid as she continuously backed away.

Fight? Flee? Or agree...?

Thoughts flashed through her mind one after another.

Fight? She was currently only at the Reflecting Nine Heavens and couldn't draw upon external blood Qi, and she had already witnessed Qin Tian's prowess.

Clearly,

She couldn't win...

As for fleeing...

Forget it.

With that elusive spatial Divine Ability and two Heavenly Monarchs by his side, where could she possibly escape to?

That left only one choice.

"Fine, I will cooperate with you."

"But, if you burn bridges after crossing them, I'll take you down with me!"

Qin Tian waved his hand and put away the grand Formation.

"Rest assured, I have always kept my promises."

"By the way, what is your true name?"

"Sword Spirit."

"Fellow Daoist Mei Yan, I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Qin Tian's fingertips flickered as he poured a cup of wine and handed it to Sword Spirit.

Sword Spirit's expression was wary. After hesitating for a moment, she eventually drank it all in one gulp.

「Little Friend Qin, she cannot be trusted.」

Gu Yue Hu Rong's expression remained unchanged as she sent a secret transmission.

「Senior, I know, but since she was born in this Realm, she must have trump cards we don't know about. We can't push her too hard.」

「Besides, she isn't really a problem for us. Those Heavenly Monarchs from the Ancient Realm of Longevity are the true trouble!」

「When the fighting starts later, I'll need to ask you two Seniors to take good care of Third Junior Sister.」

Hearing this, Gu Yue Hu Rong understood in her heart.

「Don't worry, with us here, Qing'er will definitely be fine!」

"Qin Tian, how do you plan to proceed?" Sword Spirit asked, though she still kept several zhang away from him.

"Before that, could Fellow Daoist Mei Yan answer a question for me?"

"What question?"

"Is Mei Nianjiao dead?"

Sword Spirit's expression became somewhat strange. "You only met her once; why do you care if she's dead or alive?"

"It's nothing, just a bit of curiosity," Qin Tian said nonchalantly.

"Since she dared to come here alone, she was naturally prepared to die," Sword Spirit said airily. "Opportunities are always accompanied by danger—that's what you said."

Hearing this, Qin Tian sighed.

A talent of a generation from the Ziqi Immortal Mansion had died just like that, without any clarity...

The impermanence of life and death—this was the norm in cultivation...

"What, you seem reluctant to let her go? Could it be there was something between you two?" Sword Spirit curled her lips, looking thoughtful.

"Speaking of which, with your handsome looks, even I am quite tempted..."

Han Qing: !!!

Qin Tian gave Sword Spirit a sidelong glance. "I have no interest in someone like you."

Sword Spirit smiled slightly and looked at Han Qing, huffing coyly, "Oh? But hasn't someone said that men are all duplicitous? Don't you agree, little sister?"

Han Qing looked at Sword Spirit and then at Qin Tian, saying warily:

"Senior Brother"

"Likes"?

"I don't!" Qin Tian denied hurriedly. "Junior Sister, don't listen to this woman's nonsense."

"Mm."

Han Qing smiled sweetly and nodded gently.

"Oh my, young girls are truly so easy to trick!"

Is this woman ever going to stop?

She's definitely doing it on purpose!

What a petty person!

Just then, waves of fluctuations arrived, as if Cultivators were dueling.

Qin Tian's gaze sharpened. "Fellow Daoist Mei, the small talk ends here. It's time for business!"

"What do you want me to do?" Sword Spirit's peripheral vision drifted toward the distance.

"First, separate the group from the Ancient Realm of Longevity. I imagine that should be easy for you?"

"Hmph!"

Sword Spirit gave a light snort, and her figure vanished...

...

In the Long Yan Immortal Treasury, corpses were piled up, and blood Qi had condensed into a river.

In mid-air, Lan Cangyu and the others had solemn expressions.

"Strange, why are there so many corpses?"

"The immortal light earlier indeed contained the Immortal Qi of an Longevity Being, but after entering this so-called Immortal Treasury, the Immortal Qi vanished..."

Yellow Ancient Furnace's face was grave. "Old Lan, this place gives off a very bad feeling. Should we head out first?"

Lan Cangyu shook his head. "Now that we're in, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to leave."

"Elder, have you discovered anything?"

An old man appeared and shook his head. "This place seems to have a special Restriction; it's difficult to expand one's Divine Sense. We must be careful..."

*Chuckle chuckle chuckle!*

The cold laughter of a woman suddenly rang out.

"Who is there!"

"Get out here!!"

Several Heavenly Monarchs from the Ancient Realm of Longevity appeared one after another.

*Chuckle chuckle chuckle chuckle!*

"What fragrant spiritual energy, what thick blood Qi. You aren't people from the Immortal Ancient era, are you?"

"It seems this lady can have a grand feast this time!"

The cold female voice continued to echo.

Boom!

An Ancient Realm Heavenly Monarch struck out, a terrifying spiritual energy blasting toward the mountain of corpses.

In an instant, blood splattered and severed limbs flew everywhere.

"Oh my, how crude!"

"Didn't your Elders teach you to be polite when being a guest in someone else's home?"

As the words fell, the mountain of corpses shook, and several Heavenly Monarch-level ancient corpses soared into the sky, lunging toward the various Heavenly Monarchs!

At the same time, a blood-colored mist spread out from within the mountain of corpses.

"Dao-Dissolving Blood Mist!"

"Not good! Disperse, quickly!"

The Heavenly Monarchs cried out in alarm and hurriedly scattered.

"Oh my, such cowards!"

"I can't be bothered to play with you. I'll let this lady's little pets greet you!"

"Witch, don't you run!" Several Heavenly Monarchs tried to give chase.

However, within the blood mist, their Divine Sense could not penetrate, and they quickly lost their way.

The roars of ancient corpses and the sounds of battle echoed continuously from all directions.

Lan Cangyu's eyes darkened as an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"Gulu, be car—"

He wanted to warn Yellow Ancient Furnace and the others, but halfway through, his breath suddenly hitched.

Yellow Ancient Furnace, Zhu Yan, and the others from the Ancient Realm of Longevity were all gone...

At this very moment,

There was not a single person by his side!

"How can this be?"

Lan Cangyu's mind was shaken. "Someone is trying to separate us!"

"This blood mist contains a spatial Divine Ability!"

"No, I must find them!"

With that thought, Lan Cangyu's blue hair fluttered, and an extremely pure water-attribute spiritual energy surged up like crashing waves.

In the next moment, the blood mist around him was miraculously brought under his control!

Meanwhile, beside Qin Tian,

Sword Spirit's expression shifted erratically. "This blue-haired guy's Cultivation Technique is a bit strange. My blood mist is actually out of my control!"

Qin Tian's brow twitched slightly.

[Name: Lan Cangyu]

[Realm: Reflecting Realm · Nine Heavens]

[dao seed: Lan Ancestor Profound Water]

[Special: Cannon Fodder Villain Halo]

Heh, interesting!

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile.

Cannon Fodder Villain Halo...

This guy is an unlucky fellow too!

Instantly, Qin Tian dismissed the thought of killing him.

"This blue-haired guy doesn't look simple. I'll go meet him."

As his voice fell, Qin Tian vanished...
