"I give up."

During the fight, the strongest old man in a white robe among the five elders suddenly stopped moving, and just stood in the air with his hands behind his back, looking calm.

For the first time, he felt respect in his eyes as he stared at Xu Yang.

"Fuck, what's going on? Why are they surrendering all of a sudden in the middle of a fight?"

Nangong and the others below were all looking at each other in confusion. None of them had expected that the situation would end up like this.

Not long after, the old Taoist priest and the Puppet King all burst into laughter.

"These are the so-called five strongest living fossils of the empire's martial god level?

In front of His Excellency Xu Yang, I am truly vulnerable."

As Xu Yang's number one fan, the woman in red nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up to the old Taoist priest beside her.

"You old man, you finally said something pleasing to the ear.

In the world of martial arts, age and strength are not necessarily proportional.

In front of Brother Xu Yang, these old-fashioned guys have long been abandoned by the times."

No matter how the young martial god-level juniors of the Changyun Tianzong below mocked them, these five living fossils in the void seemed to have lost the desire to continue fighting Xu Yang.

Because the strongest old man in white robe among the five people chose to give up first, the other four people also lost the desire to continue fighting with Xu Yang.

Because they knew very well that if they continued this battle, they would have no chance of winning at all. The only difference would be that all five of them would die at the hands of Xu Yang, or one or two of them would be able to choose to survive.

A satisfied smile appeared on Xu Yang's face. At the same time, he gradually retracted the huge Eternal Sword behind him and did not continue to attack the five living fossils and the strong men.

"Very good, a man of insight is a wise man.

The five of you are the faith and existence of the Empire's martial arts.

As long as you turn from evil to good, I don't necessarily have to kill you.

Of course, it is useless to negotiate with me, Xu Yang, just by talking. You must show enough sincerity and give me a reason to want to cooperate with you."

The five living fossil-level elders looked at each other.

Finally, the strongest old man in white robe served as the representative and slowly spoke to Xu Yang.

"As long as you are sure that you can eliminate all the disciples in the palace who have defected to the dark forces, the five of us can join your camp."

In fact, Xu Yang had already figured out how to control these five most powerful Martial God-level chess pieces. What he was waiting for was for the five old guys to surrender on their own initiative.

“Hahaha, a living fossil of the Martial God level is indeed a very good helper to me.

Next I'm going to rescue my teammates.

But the spiritual power I released earlier did not capture their breath fluctuations, what's going on?"

The leading white-robed martial god slowly spoke, "That's because the dark forces' disciples team transferred all the most important hostages to the underground prison.

What you don't know is that there is a huge underground prison inside the back garden of the imperial palace. Originally, that place was prepared for the real old emperor who is traveling with you.

But something happened later, and the priest who controlled the dark forces made a temporary decision to seal the real old emperor in the Lost Mountains.

Later, the underground prison was abandoned for many years. Now, in order to deal with these powerful people you brought, the priest thought of reactivating the long-abandoned underground prison and arranged an extremely powerful ancient magic circle around the surface.

We five old guys can help you find the entrance to the magic circle and lend a hand to break the seal of the magic circle.

We can be responsible for eliminating the dark forces and spies deployed outside the palace, and we can also guard the entrance for you, but if you want to enter the prison to rescue people, you will have to rely on yourself.

If you can come back alive from the underground prison by then, we five old guys will choose to support the old emperor to be restored to the throne.

But let me be frank.

If you don't have enough ability to rescue those companions, and eventually become puppets in the hands of the priest, then the five of us will choose to continue to support the priest without hesitation."

Although this sounds quite ironic, they are regarded as the five living fossils of the five beliefs of the empire, but they don't even have the obsession to protect in their hearts. They are just five old guys who can sell out the empire at any time for their own selfish reasons.

But as the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Right now, the relationship between Xu Yang and these five old guys is maintained only by the interests of partners.

"Okay, I agree with the method you proposed. There is no need for any more ties to be involved. We are just in a cooperative relationship.

But I advise you not to play any tricks. As for this underground prison, it is absolutely impossible to seal people like us. If the priest dares to go against me, Xu Yang, he will only die. "

Xu Yang said this with such domineering attitude, but he did have the capital to do so.

After reaching a temporary cooperative relationship, the five living fossil-level martial gods did not continue to fight with Xu Yang, but decisively guided Xu Yang's team to quickly approach the hidden center of the ancient magic array in the back garden.

Not long after, all the people involved in these two minutes came to the back garden motto. This ancient magic circle was quite special, consisting of ten different array eye positions.

If those five old guys didn't know the hidden location of the formation's hub, even if Xu Yang wanted to search it using his mental power, it would require a lot of effort to accomplish.

The white-robed martial god spoke slowly.

"This is the location of the real ancient magic formation that seals the underground prison. It is called the Ten Absolutes and Ten Desolations Formation."

As soon as the white-robed warrior god finished speaking, Xuan Guang in the crowd next to him clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name.

“Amitabha, the Ten Absolute and Ten Desolate Formations is one of the ten forbidden formations in the entire Ancient Martial God Dao.

It was lost thousands of years ago, and I never thought it would reappear in our era."

The reason why Xuan Guang knew the name of one of the ancient forbidden magic arrays and its specific content was because he had once studied under a former abbot of Huaguang Temple, who was also a true martial god-level powerhouse.

In the early days of the righteous path, this kind of seal of formation had been encountered before.

Later, it broke the formation by relying on its unique Buddhist golden body.

According to the prompts of his information sharing content, Xu Yang quickly realized that in order to crack this strange ancient forbidden magic circle, ten martial god-level strongmen would be needed to act at the same time.

And only at the cost of sacrificing one's own vitality essence can one open the only movable array eye of this forbidden ancient array.
