The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Elder Xiao believed that Qiao Zhengqi, whom he had arranged, was the oriole, but little did he know that the real oriole was behind them, and he and Qiao Zhengqi were merely mantises about to be caught.
“Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage!”
Elder Xiao's pupils constricted slightly, and his heart was filled with panic and unease.
In recent years, two forces have risen to prominence: one is the sinister and vicious Sacred Flame Sect, and the other is the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage, which gathers righteous sects.
The former is the largest demonic and heretical cultivator alliance on the continent, while the latter is the most profound righteous immortal alliance in history.
Neither the former nor the latter can be provoked by a single sect or force if they wish to exist eternally.
Elder Xiao and the group of Core Formation cultivators froze in mid-air, cold sweat already soaking their backs. Looking at the young man from the Dark Star Tower, their hearts were filled with extreme fear.
They couldn't leave, and they couldn't stay.
Had they known that the other party was from the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage, they would have been beaten to death rather than come!
The young man merely glanced at them indifferently, then looked at Chen Changsheng and Chen Qianqian, and said with a light smile, “You should be able to handle the rest, right?”
Chen Changsheng smiled and cupped his fists: “No problem, thank you, Senior Li, for your help.”
“We are all on the same side, no need to be polite.” The young man waved his hand with a smile.
Chen Qianqian's expression froze slightly, and she quickly understood everything: “So you are Senior Li. Forgive us for not welcoming you properly.”
The young man in front of her was a member of the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage, possessed the strength to instantly kill Nascent Soul cultivators, and was even willing to come all the way to help. Chen Qianqian quickly thought of the other party's identity.
One of the elders of the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage, Li Shang!
Besides the Dao Lineage elders, no one else would be so amiable to them, after all, the difference in status and cultivation was too great.
Zhang Qingxuan and the others, upon hearing of the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage, cupped their fists and saluted: “Thank you, Senior Li, for your help!”
“Li, Senior Li…”
At this moment, Elder Xiao said tremblingly: “There is actually a misunderstanding in this matter. We were all forced by Qiao… Qiao Zhengqi. I am not an elder of the Elephant Strength Manor, just a guest elder. These few are my friends, and they were threatened by Qiao Zhengqi and had no choice but to come.”
“Yes, yes, please spare us, Senior Li. We were all forced to do this.”
Several Core Formation cultivators seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, nodding repeatedly in agreement, forcing a smile on their faces that was more unsightly than crying.
However, Li Shang didn't even bother to look at them, just nodded to Chen Qianqian and Zhang Qingxuan.
Everyone immediately understood his meaning. Chen Qianqian smiled and drew her bow again, and together with Zhang Qingxuan and the others, they attacked Elder Xiao and the others.
This space had already been sealed off by Li Shang, and Elder Xiao and the others had no chance to escape.
Earlier, when they were advised to leave, they were arrogant and domineering, mocking them with cold words. Now it was too late to leave!
In an instant, the battle broke out again, the roar of Daoist techniques deafening, and the streamers collided in the sky and earth, creating a brilliant light, like beautiful fireworks blooming.
He suddenly turned to look at Li Shang beside him and asked, “Senior Li, I heard from Fairy Luo that you are not in seclusion nearby. Do you have any important business in Black Bone City?”
When Chen Qianqian activated the Ancient Immortal Token, only Chen Changsheng was here. The other elders were not nearby, including Li Shang. He only came to Black Bone City in the past few days.
It shouldn't be just to rescue Chen Qianqian that he traveled thousands of miles to come here. There must be other reasons.
Li Shang didn't hide anything, looking at the streamer Daoist techniques passing overhead, he said solemnly: “The Sacred Flame Sect plans to collect the Nine Stars Tokens, and has caused a tragic massacre recently. The leader they sent is the Sect Master of the Demon Devouring Sect, Liao Qiu!”
“My mission on this trip is to kill Liao Qiu. I chased him all the way nearby, and now he should have entered the territory of the Taihang Region.”
Li Shang was passing by this place while chasing him. Remembering that an elder of the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage had asked for help nearby, he contacted Chen Changsheng through the chat group to ask if he needed help.
Coincidentally, the matter with Elder Xiao had not been resolved yet, and Chen Changsheng did not hesitate to ask Li Shang to come and hold the line, thinking that if they couldn't beat him, they would call Li Shang out to help.
As a result, Chen Qianqian and Zhang Qingxuan and the others were so strong that they not only crushed the other party, but also fished out a Nascent Soul cultivator hiding in the dark.
“Liao Qiu?” Chen Changsheng was surprised. This was the first time he had heard this name.
“This person has merged himself with the Yin-Yang Treasure Tree, creating a new demonic technique that is both demonic and monstrous, and his strength is quite terrifying.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng immediately knew who the other party was.
So, the demonic cultivator who took away the Yin-Yang Treasure Tree was named Liao Qiu.
“Does he have a way to find the Nine Stars Tokens?”
Chen Changsheng frowned. He and Chen Qianqian each had a Nine Stars Token in their hands, and being targeted by a Nascent Soul cultivator was no small matter!
Li Shang nodded and said, “He has already accurately locked onto seven people and snatched two Nine Stars Tokens from them. This time, he came to the Taihang Region, probably to find the eighth Nine Stars Token holder… Judging by your expression, you wouldn't happen to have a Nine Stars Token too, would you?”
“Qianqian has a Nine Stars Token in her hand, perhaps he is going to find her.”
Chen Changsheng said seriously, thinking about whether to hand over the Nine Stars Token to Li Shang for safekeeping now?
But after thinking about it, he decided to leave the Nine Stars Token to Luo Liuxi.
Li Shang suddenly understood, then put his hand on his chin and said: “In that case, Liao Qiu is likely to go to the Bixiao Sect. However, with the Bixiao Sect's foundation, Liao Qiu alone will definitely not be able to do anything, but behind him is the Sacred Flame Sect. He may gather the demonic and heretical cultivator sects of the Taihang Region. We must notify the Bixiao Sect as soon as possible.”
Boom!
During the conversation, the battle on Chen Qianqian's side had entered a white-hot stage.
Elder Xiao and the others were completely no match, and were suppressed in all aspects. Especially Zhang Qingxuan's knife and Chen Qianqian's arrows, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, easily took the lives of Core Formation cultivators.
Elder Xiao wanted to escape, but the surrounding hundred miles were sealed off by Li Shang's Daoist techniques. They had become turtles in a jar, and struggling to death was just living a little longer.
In the end, only Elder Xiao was left, and he was ruthlessly trampled under Zhang Qingxuan's feet.
At first, Elder Xiao still wanted to fight to the death, and frantically burst out his true qi cultivation, but as his companions died one after another, he was so frightened that he kept begging for mercy at this moment.
“Give up resisting, and I will give you a quick death.”
Zhang Qingxuan said coldly.
As a cold blade light flashed, the golden core shattered, and Elder Xiao's begging for mercy came to an abrupt end!
This robbery farce initiated by the Elephant Strength Manor temporarily came to an end, causing a huge spiritual impact on the countless cultivators who were watching.
Outside Black Bone City was a scorched earth, as if it had been hit by hundreds of rounds of meteorites, and the surrounding hundred miles were either deep pits or fragments of stone and wood.
“I hope the people of the Elephant Strength Manor can be sensible and not come to cause trouble and die.”
Chen Qianqian put away her longbow and said to the cultivators watching the show in Black Bone City: “Remember my name is Chen Qianqian, the Holy Maiden of the Bixiao Sect, a member of the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage. If you insist on courting death, we are willing to accompany you to the end!”
She didn't need to personally convey the words left for the Elephant Strength Manor. The cultivators would naturally pass on today's events to the Elephant Strength Manor.
