Crisis Averted

"Who are you?" Dong Wang Gong asked.

The others, seeing Luohu's imposing demeanor, couldn't help but distance themselves, afraid he would attack directly.

Especially Kunpeng, who was now alone!

He had secretly formed an alliance with Minghe before.

Now that Minghe was dead, he was truly on his own.

Di Jun looked at Luohu, his eyes filled with deep apprehension.

The moment Luohu attacked, his realm was clearly at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, but his actual combat power had surpassed that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"Who am I? Is that something you can ask?"

Luohu didn't answer their questions at all.

"It seems he's a hidden master! Are they going to help Di Jun and the others? Should we still intervene?" Zhunti Daoist, despite coveting Di Jun's Spiritual Treasures, was also full of apprehension towards Luohu.

With a single move, Luohu had annihilated Minghe. Such power was enough to dominate everyone present.

Moreover, he hadn't even used any Spiritual Treasures.

"He must be a hidden master. Let's hold back for now and see how things unfold," Jieyin Daoist said solemnly.

If Luohu had heard this, he would have certainly given himself a thumbs-up for his act.

He was clearly afraid of being caught by Hong Jun and didn't want to reveal his identity, yet they mistook him for a hidden master.

Besides, although he didn't have any Spiritual Treasures in his hands.

The God Slaying Gourd was a Spiritual Treasure.

As long as the God Slaying Gourd remained undamaged and wasn't destroyed.

Its artifact spirit would be in an immortal and indestructible state.

"What do you mean, sir? Are you here to help Di Jun and Tai Yi?" Dong Wang Gong's face turned extremely grim. He had finally gotten an opportunity to crush Di Jun and Tai Yi while they were in trouble.

But now? He was blocked by someone who suddenly appeared.

And that person's strength was not just ordinarily formidable.

"That's right! I'll protect brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi," Luohu said.

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and the other three were overjoyed.

"We're safe now. With this hidden master intervening, even if we can't counter-attack, it won't be difficult to at least save our lives and retreat safely," Hong Yun chuckled.

"Tai Yi, Di Jun, you two brothers actually have such a helper and didn't find him sooner. If you had found him earlier, would we have had to suffer injuries like this?" Zhen Yuanzi said with heartache, looking at his storage Spiritual Treasure. Only five Ginseng Fruits remained.

"But I... we don't even know him!"

The Di Jun brothers looked confused, gazing at the demonic energy swirling around Luohu.

"Fellow Daoist! You are making an enemy of me. If you simply stay out of this matter, I, on behalf of Tai Yi and Di Jun, will give you all their Spiritual Treasures. Otherwise..."

A cold glint appeared in Dong Wang Gong's eyes.

The methods Luohu had just displayed were enough to make him wary, but not enough to make him lose the will to fight.

However, the next moment.

Something that baffled everyone happened.

Luohu raised his hand and said, "Sure, you can do whatever you want. But before that, may I ask which one is Di Jun and which one is Tai Yi?"

As soon as he said this!

The atmosphere in the entire venue froze.

Dozens of pairs of eyes turned towards the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun then realized that the two brothers hadn't lied to them at all.

Di Jun and Tai Yi shrugged, acting as if they had no idea what was going on.

"You dare to play me?" Dong Wang Gong roared in anger and directly used the Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

Suddenly, the Measuring Ruler, radiating ten thousand feet of milky white light, descended to suppress Luohu.

"Senior, be careful! This is a Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler. Its power is immense, you cannot confront it directly!"

Di Jun quickly warned.

"Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler? Then let's see which one is more powerful!"

With his words, Luohu made his move.

The God Slaying Gourd on his body directly spewed out endless, rolling demonic energy, enveloping the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

The main body of the God Slaying Gourd also directly attacked the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

The two Spiritual Treasures collided!

With a roar!

The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler was directly knocked away, then smashed into Dong Wang Gong's body.

His upper body was completely pulverized, a truly miserable sight.

This scene terrified everyone present.

The previous situation was definitely due to Minghe's momentary carelessness, not noticing, which led to such misfortune.

But now, Luohu's strike had achieved such an effect.

"Fellow Daoists! Why aren't you attacking yet? By the time Daoist Yuanshi defeats Fu Xi and Sister Nuwa, he'll be here to help soon. This scoundrel is nothing to worry about. We must kill Brother Di Jun and this scoundrel on the spot! I don't want any Spiritual Treasures for myself!"

Dong Wang Gong roared with rage, his recent injury only fueling his anger.

However, at this moment.

Not far away, two figures were rapidly approaching.

"Brother Di Jun, Brother Tai Yi! Fu Xi is here!"

"Nuwa is here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the great cultivators who were preparing to attack again changed drastically.

Jieyin and Zhunti were the first to react.

With these two siblings arriving, the fight would become seven against five!

Daoist Yuanshi had disappeared somewhere, and the Three Pure Ones had likely already retreated.

Dong Wang Gong's dozen or so Grand Unity Golden Immortal subordinates were, at best, equivalent to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

They couldn't even reach the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, posing no real threat.

"My fate with the Spiritual Treasures on the two Demon Emperors has run its course. I shall take my leave! Farewell!"

"As for me!"

Seeing the unfavorable turn of events, they immediately fled.

The situation had completely reversed, and Jieyin and Zhunti vanished instantly.

[Those two bastards are quite fast to run away.]

[As expected of the two most shameless beings in the Great Desolation. If my guess is correct, they must have said something about the Spiritual Treasures having a connection with them earlier.]

Hearing this, Di Jun exclaimed with surprise, "Li Mo!"

Nuwa and Fu Xi stopped, and everyone suddenly saw Bi Fang and Li Mo, who were unharmed, following them.

[Brother Jun! Can you be a little more composed? Why are you so excited to see me?]

Seeing that the situation was hopeless!

Kunpeng's eyes flickered, and his body flashed, transforming into a great roc like lightning.

His innate divine ability, soaring through the nine heavens!

In an instant, the sky was torn apart by layers of clouds, and he directly vanished.

"Di Jun, Tai Yi! You are lucky this time, but next time, this Immortal Lord will surely destroy you directly! I'm leaving!"

Dong Wang Gong said.

[Is the art of verbal persuasion so powerful? Dong Wang Gong actually came here, and Brother Jun isn't taking the opportunity to beat a drowning dog?]

Hearing this, Di Jun was furious.

"Donghua Daoist, you came and went as you pleased this time. Do you really think it's that easy? Leave something behind!"

Di Jun attacked directly!

Tai Yi followed.

The two Golden Crows directly used the Rainbow Transformation Technique, and in an instant, they chased after them.

The surrounding temperature soared, and golden flames, boundless, rapidly spread towards them.

Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu were the fastest. Behind them were more than a dozen newly recruited Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

These fellows could exert the strength of an early Grand Unity Golden Immortal during combat.

But now, they couldn't!

When fleeing, they could only scatter, each acting as a mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

The Solar True Fire directly engulfed everyone. Screams echoed as they were burned to ashes and instantly annihilated.

"Di Jun, Tai Yi! You two mangy birds!" The piercing screams stimulated Donghua Daoist's eardrums, and he roared with rage, preparing to attack.

However, Xi Wang Mu, Yaochi Golden Mother, stopped him, saying, "Immortal Lord, do not engage in prolonged combat. If we are entangled, we will surely die. They have superior numbers, and we are no match for them. If we stay, the fate of these subordinates will be our own!"

Hearing this, Donghua Daoist sighed and accelerated his departure.

[Brother Jun did well, but you wouldn't have won this time. According to the timeline, Dong Wang Gong doesn't die until after Hong Jun's third lecture.]

Di Jun slightly turned his head, stopping Tai Yi who was still trying to pursue: "Don't chase a cornered enemy. If we chase further, we'll be too far from our helpers."

"They are lucky!"

Then, the two Golden Crows returned.

Di Jun, with an excited expression, grabbed Li Mo's hand and rushed to Luohu. He said to Li Mo, "Li Mo, you have no idea how terrifying things were just now. If it weren't for this senior turning the tide, we might have lost our lives."
