While Yu Zhan was pondering for a moment, the Water Fence Monster and the Old Monster Gong Wu arrived with their respective troops.
In addition, there was another person who surprised Yu Zhan very much.
"Second Elder?"
Yu Zhan looked at the old man who was flying towards him in a disheveled state, and after a quick look, he felt that this man's temperament had changed greatly.
Before, this second elder was always polite and graceful when meeting others. Why has he become so... timid now?
"Second Elder, aren't you with His Highness Qingya and the others? Why..."
After Ji Qingya went up the mountain, the Second Elder had not been tortured for decades, and his condition had finally recovered a little.
At this moment, when he suddenly heard the word "Qingya", he was like a frightened bird. He trembled with fear and retreated quickly, jumping into the teleportation vortex in panic.
Everyone in the Immortal Palace was shocked and talked about it.
"What happened to the Second Elder?"
"It's like I'm having a hysterical episode..."
“…”
Yu Zhan looked at the vortex and his eyes flashed.
The second elder arrived even later than them. It was not difficult to see that his previous position in the Forbidden Mountain was even lower than theirs.
In other words, the second elder did not go to the top of the mountain.
There was something fishy going on among the four people who had reached the summit. Was it that fourth person with the thin back who had gotten the treasure?
All these thoughts took a long time to think about, but in fact it only took a moment. Yu Zhan collected his thoughts and ordered everyone in the Immortal Palace to enter the vortex.
At the same time, Ji Qingya flashed out of the Nine-story Tower, and his aura was immediately locked. The overwhelming pressure crushed Ji Qingya, making his face turn pale and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, a burst of celestial power soon erupted from behind Ji Qingya.
Xue Kun flashed and protected his junior brother behind him. His face was cold. He glanced at the crowd standing around, watching with eager eyes, and suddenly smiled:
"Don't you think that we can be bullied because we have fewer people in the Immortal Palace?"
Yu Zhan heard this as soon as he emerged from the vortex. He immediately stretched out his hand and waved, "Form a formation!"
Everyone in the Immortal Palace flew to the area around Xue Kun and the other two, forming a defensive formation.
Yu Zhan flew to Xue Kun's side, and only then did he have time to look around at the visitors.
When I saw this, my heart sank.
There were not many people who came to besiege them, only twenty-two, but none of them had a cultivation level lower than that of a celestial being, and they were all independent cultivators.
He recognized several of them. They were notoriously difficult to deal with. They killed and robbed people without restraint and never looked at their backgrounds.
What's going on?
Yu Zhan leaned towards Xue Kun with a serious look and whispered:
"Your Highness, before I entered the secret realm, I felt that the situation was out of control, so I reported it to the Imperial Palace early on. Why is it that now..."
No one coming?
Xue Kun glanced at him and said nothing.
The news from the Immortal Palace was not passed on, and it was naturally because he was the one who interfered.
Not only the Immortal Palace, he also used the forbidden blood line to tamper with the ancient clan and ancient demon.
At that time, he was controlled by the taboo. In addition to assimilating his junior brother, he had no intention of letting go of anyone who entered the Nine-Layered Pagoda.
Why would I let them pass on the message and cause trouble for myself?
If the three forces do not send help, there will most likely be collusion between independent cultivators to block the door.
He had thought about this possibility when he was in the tower, and now that his speculation had come true, he was not surprised.
This group of casual cultivators dared to block the door, they must have calculated the strength of all of them and came prepared.
He quietly scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, but did not detect any trace of either Xiang Sheng or Qing Mu.
It seems that these two people have made up their minds not to show up and let them take the blame.
Xue Kun glanced at the machine that was also secretly investigating, and his mind turned.
Boss Shi had done him a favor, and since he was also someone his junior apprentice cared about, he was happy to help. However, that Qingmu...
He was still thinking, but the group of wandering cultivators who were confronting him were losing their patience.
"Xue Kun, His Highness Xue."
The leading man was wearing a green robe and had a handsome appearance, but he uttered a seductive and charming voice:
"I've heard that there are divine objects and precious treasures hidden in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm. I wonder if my concubine and I will have the honor of seeing them today?"
These words vibrated through the void and reached Xue Kun's ears.
Xue Kun immediately felt his mind wandering and was about to blurt out the truth subconsciously. Fortunately, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he clenched his fist and came to his senses.
"It's the Charming Gu Divine Sound. Keep your mind focused and don't be affected by it!"
Yu Zhan shouted coldly to wake up the disciples of the Immortal Palace. Both the ancient demon and the ancient clan responded in time and no trouble occurred.
Xue Kun's face was gloomy: "Master Mei, you and my Immortal Palace have always been..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a panicked shout from the side.
"Don't kill me!"
"Forgive me! Your Highness, I will never dare to do that again!"
“…”
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Ji Qingya, who was still trying to find Xiang Sheng, immediately changed his expression.
Oh no!
How could he forget that the Second Elder's heart had collapsed due to his torture? Now that he heard this voice again, his mind was at a loss and he was probably going to talk nonsense!
Although Xue Kun didn't know what the Second Elder had experienced, his reaction was faster than Ji Qingya's. Without saying a word, he dodged and grabbed the Second Elder.
How could Mei Dao Ren let him succeed? At the same time, his lips moved and he hummed a ballad.
Xue Kun suddenly felt a lot of illusions in front of his eyes, and he slowed down a step.
"Yu Zhan, kill the Second Elder!"
He shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhan didn't ask the reason and chopped down with his sword without saying a word.
Liang Dang lost his mind and had no idea how to defend himself. Just as he was about to die under the sword, a sickle suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked his way.
Bang!
The sword light forced Gou Lian and Liang Dang to retreat repeatedly, and they retreated directly into the encirclement of the wandering cultivators. The Immortal Palace had no chance of silencing them anymore.
Xue Kun's heart sank. He turned to look at the smiling Old Monster Gong Wu and the bored Water Fence Monster, and said coldly:
"How could you two understand the principle of the lips and teeth being cold?"
"Your Highness Xue, you are too kind."
Old Monster Gong Wu looked at Taoist Mei with a smile, "What casual cultivators seek is nothing more than treasure.
Our ancient clan has been trapped in restrictions since entering the tower, unable to move forward.
Since there is no treasure, I think Fellow Daoist Mei is not stupid enough to offend my ancient clan."
Taoist Mei narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly when she heard this, and then she covered her mouth and chuckled softly:
“Senior Gong Wu is absolutely right.
Your Highness Xue, as the saying goes, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. I advise you not to refuse a toast and then drink a penalty."
Xue Kun remained calm upon hearing this and spoke in a cold voice, "When did you become a supporter of the Ancient Clan? Do you believe everything that old monster Gong Wu says?"
Taoist Mei curled her lips slightly, without responding to Xue Kun, she turned to look at the second elder with a seductive look.
"Who are you? What's your name?"
The fear in the Second Elder's eyes gradually faded, revealing a bewildered look. He spoke obediently, "My name is... Liang Dang! I'm the Second Elder of External Affairs at Yeqing Palace."
"So they are His Highness Xue's own family members."
Taoist Mei smiled at Xue Kun and asked, "Your Highness Xue, why do you want to be killed?"
Liang Dang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head violently: "It's not Xue Kun, it's Ji Qingya!"
He didn't know what he was thinking about, his body trembled, he fell to his knees with a plop, tears streaming down his face:
"Your Highness Qingya, please stop torturing me. I won't dare to do it again!"
