Killing Four Golden Gods

The four Gold Gods left to guard Luo Qing were all staunch supporters of Hun Xing.

After Luo Qing left the Cave Mansion, the Hun Xing Divine Servant, Bai Jin Shen, immediately questioned Luo Qing:

"Chi Huo, the Mountain Lord has treated you well. Why do you deceive your superiors and conceal your cultivation progress?

You even broke through to Golden Immortal while our Hundred Gods Mountain was fighting Fierce Beasts! Chi Huo, what do you intend to do?"

Luo Qing looked at the four Gold Gods surrounding him, two low-level Innate Gods and two Nature Spirits, and smiled.

Luo Qing said with a half-smile, "Old Bai, you know very well what I intend to do. Do you still need to ask me?"

Bai Jin Shen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted angrily at Luo Qing.

"Bold Chi Huo, how dare you betray Hundred Gods Mountain, betray the Mountain Lord! Three fellow Daoists, join me in suppressing this child, and we'll await the Mountain Lord's judgment upon his return!"

"Heh!"

Luo Qing grinned and did not bother to explain further or reveal the truth.

These four, including Old Bai, were absolutely loyal to Hun Xing. No matter how much he said, they would never betray Hun Xing.

In the end, it would still come down to a fight.

As soon as Bai Jin Shen finished speaking, he and the other three Gold Gods each took out an exquisite Innate treasured artifact, a Spirit Mirror.

The treasure mirrors were set up in the four directions, immediately transforming the side hall where Luo Qing was located into an alien space.

It was even more refined than the Five Elements Arena Luo Qing had crafted.

Not only did it seal off the space around Luo Qing, but it also expanded the entire area by more than a thousand times.

The vast space was enough for five Gold Gods to fight freely.

This was also why Bai Jin Shen was afraid of fighting in the core Cave Mansion, lest he destroy it and endanger the lives of the other four Five Elements Gold Gods.

"Chi Huo, it's not too late to surrender. Once we start fighting, don't blame us for showing no mercy," Bai Jin Shen said with a dark expression, making a final attempt at persuasion.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Luo Qing replied calmly. The four Gold Gods, including Old Bai, consisted of one late-stage Golden Immortal and three mid-stage Golden Immortals.

Luo Qing had just broken through, and even though he possessed a few Acquired Spiritual Treasures, would Bai Lao and the others, as confidants of Hun Xing, not have Acquired Spiritual Treasures?

No matter how one looked at it, Luo Qing seemed to have no chance of winning.

"Attack!"

Old Bai was also a decisive person. Seeing that Luo Qing refused to yield, he shouted.

He immediately unleashed a low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure in the shape of a seal and suppressed it towards Luo Qing.

At the same time, the other three mid-stage Golden Immortals also revealed a low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure and attacked Luo Qing.

Luo Qing secretly thought, "Just as I expected!"

The Hun Xing Mountain Lord was indeed not lacking in Acquired Spiritual Treasures. Fortunately, he hadn't placed his hopes on a few Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

The Earth Mystic Robe on his body radiated a mystic light, forcing the four Spiritual Treasures to a halt outside his person.

Luo Qing, who was the key to Hun Xing's transformation and foundation, was something Bai Lao and the others dared not truly go all out to kill.

As a result, a single defensive magical robe was enough for Luo Qing to neutralize the attacks of the four Spiritual Treasures.

While blocking the attacks of the four with his treasure robe, Luo Qing was not idle.

A pair of cyan-glowing Dao eyes were constantly probing his surroundings and the entirety of Hundred Gods Mountain.

"So that's how it is!"

With his cultivation reaching Golden Immortal, the power of the Eye of the Great Dao had once again ascended a level.

Luo Qing quickly learned the secrets of the treasure mirror space.

Although this treasure mirror space was vast, it was constantly shrinking.

If Luo Qing could not escape by the end, and the space shrank to its limit, he would be suppressed by the four treasure mirrors.

Four exquisite Innate treasured artifacts were more than enough to suppress a Golden Immortal.

Having figured out the four's plan, killing intent filled Luo Qing's eyes as he looked at them as if they were already corpses.

"Since you have no further tricks, you can die now!"

"What?"

Old Bai exclaimed in shock, thinking his ears were playing tricks on him.

A trapped animal dared to speak such arrogant words.

Before Old Bai could even mock Luo Qing, he saw five colors flash across Luo Qing's body: red, white, cyan, mystic, and yellow.

A red dazzling light settled above Luo Qing's head, while the white, cyan, mystic, and yellow colors scattered outwards.

They shot towards the four Gold Gods, including Old Bai.

After discerning the aura within the mysterious light, Elder Bai cried out in terror:

"Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

Hastily activating a defensive Acquired Spiritual Treasure on his person, Elder Bai turned and attempted to flee.

He had witnessed the power of Innate Spiritual Treasures numerous times in the central Primordial Era, and this was hardly something a late-stage Golden God could resist.

The white Gold Spiritual Ring, striking towards Elder Bai, hit him with a single blow. The defensive Acquired Spiritual Treasure covering him immediately showed cracks.

But to Elder Bai's relief, he had at least managed to block the attack of the Spiritual Treasure.

His escape speed increased further, and in a flash, he was about to break out of the treasure mirror space.

Unfortunately, before Elder Bai could even rejoice, a sound like a death knell echoed in his ears.

"Halt!"

Elder Bai, a late-stage Golden God expert, was instantly frozen at the edge of the treasure mirror space, his face still displaying the joy of escaping certain death.

Only a flicker of fear flashed in his pupils.

No matter how hard he tried, how much he urged his Magic Treasure, he remained utterly motionless.

Elder Bai, relying on his profound cultivation and defensive Spiritual Treasure, had blocked the Gold Spiritual Ring's attack.

But the other three Golden Gods were not as fortunate; they did not possess defensive Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

With a single blow, the three Innate Spiritual Rings annihilated them, body and soul.

Following this, Luo Qing used the top-grade treasured artifact Fire Spirit Ring to control the four Innate Spiritual Rings, synthesizing them into the Five Elements Spiritual Ring.

The Five Elements Spiritual Ring, comparable to a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, its powerful restraining ability immediately suppressed Elder Bai.

"What a pity!"

Looking at the suppressed Elder Bai, a hint of regret flashed in Luo Qing's eyes.

Elder Bai was a staunch confidant of Hun Xing, and no one knew how many arrangements he had made.

Luo Qing dared not risk capturing Elder Bai alive.

The Five Elements Spiritual Ring rotated and intertwined slightly, and the Golden God, frozen in the void, immediately lost his vitality, turning into wisps of ash and disappearing into the treasure mirror space.

"Innate Spiritual Treasures are indeed immensely powerful!" Luo Qing exclaimed.

With the death of the four Golden Gods, their five leftover Acquired Spiritual Treasures fell into Luo Qing's possession.

With another wave of his hand, the four ownerless Innate Treasure artifact Spirit Mirrors also landed in Luo Qing's grasp.

Although these four treasure mirrors were only top-grade Innate Treasure artifacts, their wondrous uses were endless, and Luo Qing couldn't help but regard them highly.

Daring not to linger in Hundred Gods Mountain for too long, he paid no mind to plundering the treasures within the mountain.

Luo Qing soared into the sky, intending to leave Hundred Gods Mountain immediately and escape.

"From now on, the sky is as high as I wish, and I shall enjoy endless..."

Just as he was about to step out of Hundred Gods Mountain, Luo Qing couldn't help but joyfully utter to himself.

However, after taking only half a step, the joy on Luo Qing's face instantly vanished, replaced by a grim expression.

"Alas! I knew things wouldn't be this simple!"

Sighing inwardly, Luo Qing turned back into Hundred Gods Mountain, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in front of the core Cave Mansion.

Just as he was about to step out of the Hundred Gods Mountain area, a sense of the Great Dao descended from the unseen.

Ancestor Hun Xing was approaching Hundred Gods Mountain; he could not escape!

Fortunately, Luo Qing had not placed all his hopes on this escape plan.

Standing before the core Cave Mansion, Luo Qing turned his gaze towards the side hall where his four "senior brothers" resided.

With a slight smile, whether it succeeded now depended entirely on fate!

Luo Qing flickered, without triggering any Restrictions, and appeared before a wood-attribute intermediate Innate God, a Golden God, who had been suppressed into a statue-like state.

In recent years, besides improving his cultivation and Artifact Forging, the thing Luo Qing had done most was research the Restriction Grand Array of the core area of Hundred Gods Mountain.

This mountain master Hun Xing was indeed a Grand Unity Golden Immortal from the central Primordial Era; the entire core Cave Mansion area had been set up with a Grand Array by him.

This was unheard of in the Five Elements Tribe; the Grand Unity Ancestors of the Five Elements Tribe likely did not understand this.

Over ten thousand years, Luo Qing had thoroughly studied the entire Grand Array, and could even steal control of the Grand Array without anyone noticing.

Standing before this pitiable "senior brother," a hint of pity flashed in Luo Qing's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, I believe you also hate that old thief Hun Xing to the bone!

Now that the five Five Elements Golden Gods are complete, you must know your own fate.

I wonder what choice you will make?"

Luo Qing's words were calm, without any hint of temptation or coercion.

As soon as his voice fell, an almost imperceptible fluctuation emanated from the stone statue.

"Good! Fellow Daoist, rest assured, as long as I do not die, I will send your remnant soul into reincarnation."

Having made a promise, Luo Qing instantly vanished from the Cave Mansion.

After visiting the four Cave Mansions in succession, it was confirmed that these four pitiful "senior brothers" all harbored deep hatred for Hun Xing.

As a dignified intermediate Innate God, they should have had a bright future.

Now, deceived by their master and treated like pigs being fattened for slaughter, how could they not hate him?

"Hun Xing, if you don't leave me a way out, don't blame me for taking you down with me!"

A cold glint flashed in Luo Qing's eyes. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a flame and flew out of Hundred Gods Mountain, fleeing towards the vast Primordial Era.

Unfortunately, just as Luo Qing had sensed.

After flying less than ten thousand miles, Luo Qing was instantly forced out of his fire escape state.

The pressure of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal immediately locked onto Luo Qing, rendering him unable to move.

"Foolish child, my good disciple, why are you trying to escape? Wouldn't it be better to merge with your master and ascend the Great Dao together?"

As a ethereal voice echoed in Luo Qing's ears, Ancestor Hun Xing's figure appeared before him.
