Chapter 1479 Fellow Daoist Jiang, please come out of seclusion and save my life!
Chapter 1479 Fellow Daoist Jiang, please come out of seclusion and save my life!
Seeing this, Qian Chen shouted again, "Everyone sees it, they're not even willing to make a fuss. It seems I was right. They never intended to let us leave; they had long planned to kill us to silence us!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd became even more enraged, hurling insults and speeding up their pursuit of the three while simultaneously unleashing spells to attack them from afar.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Master Nandong's body surged with energy, and he continuously used spells to block backwards, fighting and fleeing at the same time, completely ignoring the curses coming from behind and offering no explanation.
Because he knew that since Qian Chen made his move, unless the three of them died, no one would believe him no matter how he explained it.
He looked up at the forbidden treasure talisman that always followed above him, and his heart sank again.
"This sealing talisman can lock onto an aura; it's really troublesome."
"But it doesn't matter, as long as we stall, Fellow Daoist Jiang should be out soon. Once he comes out of seclusion, all these Nascent Soul stage trash will be dead!"
While pondering, Master Nandong suddenly felt a chill in his heart and knew something was wrong. He then hastily made a hand seal and slammed it backward.
"Boom!"
Dozens of sword and spear lights slammed into the magic shield, which shattered and exploded after only a moment. Master Nandong groaned and used the force to accelerate his escape.
Feeling a dull pain in his chest, he couldn't help but curse under his breath, and then cried out in his heart in anguish:
"The legacy isn't with me, so why are you bunch of bastards targeting me?"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you've really put me in a terrible situation!"
"..."
Nearly ten thousand cultivators surged forth in a mighty torrent, like a rushing river, their momentum overwhelming.
Other cultivators who were initially just watching the show eventually succumbed to their greed and joined the pursuers.
Below, Wang Yanshi and the others were already dumbfounded.
A cultivator undergoing tribulation? A celestial treasure? A celestial palace inheritance?
What on earth happened?!
But now was not the time to ponder. This place was fraught with danger and was not a place to linger. Seeing that everyone was focused on the battle above, they suppressed their doubts and secretly fled elsewhere.
But just as they had walked a short distance, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
Everyone was startled and quickly drew their swords to look. When they saw who it was, they exclaimed with joy:
"Senior Brother Yun!"
Fu Qingshan quickly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Brother Yun, what exactly happened inside? Why are they fighting?"
Zheng Hanyun quickly came over: "Senior Brother Yun, where is Junior Brother Jiang? And where are Senior Brother Meng and the others now?"
Although he knew that Junior Brother Jiang was a chosen one with immense fortune and wouldn't easily run into trouble, and that Senior Brother Meng was a direct disciple of the Tribulation Transcending Sect and extremely powerful, he still felt somewhat worried.
Wang Yanshi also chimed in: "And what about Senior Brother Gu? Where is he?"
Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Yun Fengzhu simply shook his head: "This is a long story. This is not a place to stay for long. Those cultivators are bloodthirsty and ruthless. They may attack us at any time. Let's leave here first and talk as we go."
Everyone knew the gravity of the situation, so they suppressed their worries and left quickly.
"..."
Inside a hidden formation, Qin Yu and his group, who had taken refuge there early, watched Yun Fengzhu and the others leave.
"Junior Brother Jiang, did that sword cultivator just mention Junior Brother Jiang?"
Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "It's true! They are Senior Jiang's fellow disciples. As long as we can protect them, we will have done a great service!"
"Protect? What will you use to protect?"
Lin Can said, "Qian Chen has clearly set his sights on them. Once the three city lords are defeated, he will definitely make a move against them. Just the few of us..."
He shook his head and sighed, "Going there would only be suicide."
Tian Wude originally didn't want to go, and upon hearing this, he readily agreed:
"Fellow Daoist Lin is right. Since we can't protect it anyway, why take the risk?"
"As for Senior Jiang's subsequent reckoning, that's for that guy surnamed Qian. What does it have to do with us?"
"madness."
Qin Yu sneered: "Don't forget, you offended Senior Jiang before. If you don't show some sincerity, let's see if he will let you off the hook!"
Having said that, he said no more and concealed himself as he chased after them.
He understood clearly that with their strength, they would never dare to get involved in matters above. So they decided to protect Senior Jiang's fellow disciples, hoping to gain Senior Jiang's favor.
Lin Can didn't want to get involved in this mess, but when he thought of the invincible Senior Jiang and that the other party was undergoing inheritance and could emerge from seclusion at any time, he suddenly felt a jolt of fear, gritted his teeth, and chased after him.
"Forget it, offending Qian Chen and the others might mean death, but if Senior Jiang takes his anger out on us, we'll definitely die!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Wude's expression changed repeatedly, but he ultimately led his men to chase after them.
"..."
Meanwhile, the chase above continues.
Although Qian Chen's side had a large number of people and was powerful, the three city lords had a variety of secret techniques at their disposal and were extremely fast when they fled. They couldn't catch up with them at all, and they had a lot of strength but couldn't use it. They couldn't help but curse in frustration.
"I've never seen such a shameless Tribulation Transcending expert! Being chased by a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, you didn't even dare to fight back. Do you really have no dignity left?!"
As Qian Chen chased after them, he pointed at the three of them and shouted, "If you have even a shred of dignity left in your tribulation-crossing journey, stop immediately and fight us head-on!"
Upon hearing this, someone nearby immediately chimed in: "That's right, if you're so capable, stop and fight us fair and square! What kind of skill is it to just run away!"
"Cowardly, weak, and incompetent, and you call yourselves powerful beings who have undergone tribulation? I really misjudged you before!"
"Aren't you three ashamed to run around like this? Aren't you afraid it will corrupt your Dao heart?"
"I bother!"
Master Nandong turned around and cursed, "A bunch of trash! If you're so capable, remove that forbidden talisman, and I'll definitely fight you fair and square!"
Master Fuguang also shouted from the side: "You wicked creatures! If it weren't for our protection, you would have died at the hands of the Demon King long ago. Today, it was only because we warned you that you were able to escape. Is this how you repay your benefactors?"
"Such ingratitude! Aren't you afraid that your resolve will waver and you'll develop inner demons?!"
Seeing the two turn around and start arguing, Qian Chen felt anxious.
Unexpectedly, these three people, who usually acted like wise and sages, were actually so shameless.
Not only were they not afraid of being humiliated, but they even dared to argue with people in public, showing absolutely no demeanor befitting a powerful being undergoing tribulation.
