"Careful!"
Jie Yin didn't even turn his head, saying in a deep voice.
As he spoke, he subtly shielded Chen Ku behind him.
Then, his gaze fixed intently on the chaotic mist before him, his face full of vigilance.
Zhun Ti also wore a stern expression, now speaking in a low voice:
"Heh heh, as expected, some fellow Daoists couldn't resist any longer?!"
"Since you've been waiting for us three for so long, why not show yourselves?!"
Zhun Ti called out directly.
Before them, the endless chaotic mist had already formed a bizarre and unpredictable space, seemingly intent on trapping the three of them here.
This clearly couldn't have been formed instantly.
Therefore, Zhun Ti was almost certain that a powerful figure had taken action, waiting here in advance, biding their time for the three of them to enter the trap.
Sure enough!
As Zhun Ti's words fell.
From the dark void, a cold laugh echoed.
"Heh heh, Fellow Daoist Zhun Ti, your senses are indeed sharp."
"The five of us have been waiting here for you."
As those words faded, five figures slowly emerged from the void, the leader looking at Jie Yin and the others with ill-concealed intentions.
Hearing the words of the newcomer, Chen Ku rolled his eyes.
"So much unnecessary chatter."
Even a fool could see that something was wrong.
Yet this person still said Zhun Ti's senses were sharp, how truly hypocritical.
However, despite his thoughts, Chen Ku also stared at the five figures with a solemn expression.
All five were Quasi-Sage cultivators, clearly Innate Great Powers, with considerable strength!
This time, things were a bit tricky.
And Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, seeing the appearance of the five newcomers, their faces sank, their pupils shrinking.
"Linglong Ancestor!"
"Rakshasa Sovereign!"
"Corpse Puppet Daoist!"
"Wind-Thunder Wanderer!"
"Azure Wood Sovereign!"
Jie Yin spoke, naming five titles in a row, recognizing the identities of the five people before him.
"Heh heh, we have no feud with you."
"I didn't expect you to come looking for us."
Jie Yin chuckled, his words full of cold mockery.
Hearing this, Linglong Ancestor, the leader on the other side, also chuckled lightly, and said indifferently:
"Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, this old one knows that you are powerful and not to be underestimated."
"If it weren't necessary, I would have no intention of antagonizing you."
"However, that Primordial Purple Qi is too important. For the sake of the Sage position, we are willing to take the risk."
Everyone present was an Innate Great Power, so there was no need for superfluous words.
Therefore, Linglong Ancestor directly stated his purpose from the start.
As his words fell, the Corpse Puppet Daoist behind him also spoke:
"That's right!"
"And I've also taken a fancy to that kid's Innate Spiritual Treasure."
As he spoke, he stared at Chen Ku with a sinister gaze.
Just as Jie Yin and the others had expected, the Primordial Purple Qi and the many spiritual treasures were the goals of the five Great Powers before them.
For a moment, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's faces became even more gloomy.
"Heh heh, we are disciples of the Dao Ancestor, do you dare to attack us?!"
Zhun Ti said with a cold smile.
Who knew, hearing these words, the five on the opposite side laughed loudly, full of disdain.
"Haha, Zhun Ti, even now, do you still want to use the title of so-called Dao Ancestor's disciple to put on airs?"
"We already heard that after the Dao Ancestor merges with the Dao, he won't interfere unless it's a matter of great importance."
"Therefore, why would the Dao Ancestor interrupt his merging process and protect the three of you because of today's events?"
Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's expressions froze!
This… actually makes a lot of sense.
It seems the other side has planned everything in advance.
For a moment, silence fell between the two sides.
Just then, Chen Ku couldn't help but mutter in a low voice:
"Then why don't you go rob the Three Pure Ones?"
"They have three strands of Primordial Purple Qi, and countless spiritual treasures."
"Compared to that, what's the point of robbing us three poor people?!"
It's better that a fellow Daoist dies than me!
Chen Ku said this without any sense of guilt.
Wouldn't it be better if he could shift the blame to the Three Pure Ones?
But hearing his words, Linglong Ancestor and the other four all looked awkward.
Rob the Three Pure Ones?!
They'd have to have the guts to do that!
You must know that the Three Pure Ones are transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit and possess some merit from the creation of the heavens.
In addition, they have many Innate Supreme Treasures to protect them, unparalleled in killing power, and not just any strong person can confront them head-on.
More importantly, the Three Pure Ones are direct disciples of Hongjun.
On the other hand, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti are just disciples in name only.
Therefore, robbing Jie Yin and Zhun Ti and seizing their two strands of Primordial Purple Qi is the only chance for them to attain enlightenment and become saints.
And seeing the changing expressions of the group, how could Jie Yin and Zhun Ti not know what they were thinking?
This… in other words, in the eyes of these people, they are the "easy targets"?!
Infuriating!
Too infuriating!
What's more, after arguing for so long, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were already furious.
"In that case…"
"A battle is inevitable today?"
Jie Yin's face was ashen, and a fierce light burst out in his eyes as he coldly looked at Linglong Ancestor and the others.
Even if they are both in the Quasi-Sage realm, there are differences in strength.
What's more, among the five people in front of him, Corpse Puppet Daoist is only in the early stage of Quasi-Sage.
In Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's eyes, he can be easily crushed.
Therefore, Jie Yin has no fear!
Swords drawn!
Tit for tat!
As Jie Yin's voice fell, the atmosphere in the field was extremely oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
Rakshasa Sovereign took a step forward and shouted sharply:
"Leave the Primordial Purple Qi and all your spiritual treasures."
"Today, we can let you leave."
"Otherwise… don't blame us for being merciless."
As her voice fell, the five Innate Great Experts revealed their auras, their power overwhelming and soul-stirring.
Chen Ku couldn't help but frown.
Bullying the few with the many is really a bit tricky.
I wonder if my master and junior master can win.
Needless to say, even for Chen Ku, it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over his spiritual treasures.
After all, his accumulation was obtained by traveling the world, searching hard piece by piece, or through shameless requests time after time.
You can have my life, but you can't have my spiritual treasures!
And just as Chen Ku was thinking in his heart.
Beside him, Jie Yin had already spoken forcefully.
"Don't even think about it!"
"If you want the Primordial Purple Qi, then let your strength do the talking."
After saying that, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with battle intent.
The two of them stepped forward in unison, their momentum vast and overbearing, directly confronting the five great powers, instead shielding Chen Ku behind them.
There was no other way!
The weakest of the five great powers before them was at the early stage of Quasi-Sage.
In Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's view, Chen Ku, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, was obviously no match for them.
Today, even if it was two against five, they would do their utmost to prevent Chen Ku from getting involved.
However, while Jie Yin and Zhun Ti had such thoughts, the five great powers on the other side did not think the same way.
The Corpse Puppet Daoist rolled his eyes, his gaze immediately locking onto Chen Ku.
"Hehe, this one will go and deal with that kid."
"Fellow Daoists, the two of you joining forces should be enough to deal with one of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti."
This Corpse Puppet Daoist was quite shrewd.
He knew that even if the Primordial Purple Qi was obtained, it would be difficult for him to successfully compete with the other four with his strength.
Therefore, he directly targeted Chen Ku's Spiritual Treasures, and obtaining them would be a worthwhile trip.
As for the other four great powers, let them join forces to deal with Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.
Hearing these words, Linglong Ancestor and the others nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Chen Ku was stunned, his face immediately falling.
No way?!
They can't possibly be targeting me, can they?
