Daoist Lingguan, who had been watching the formation from the side, immediately held up a precious mirror in his hand. With a shake in the air, it transformed into twelve mirrors, and he shouted, "I've been waiting for you!"
The Twelve Light Mirrors shone upon the Sea-Settling Pearl, and in an instant, twelve beams of divine light collided with it.
Though the divine light fired from the mirrors was extinguished in an instant, it still brought the Sea-Settling Pearl to a halt.
Ling Qing, who had been secretly preparing at the side, waved his hand, and nine gates of the Azure Palace appeared in a row, suppressing the Sea-Settling Pearl.
To prevent Daoist Randeng from taking it back, he drew the Immortal-Slaughtering Sword and stabbed each of the twenty-four precious pearls once.
He shattered the marks left upon them.
At the same time, streams of Immortal-Slaughtering Sword Qi followed their connection and slashed into Daoist Randeng's body.
Daoist Randeng had failed to achieve anything with his strike. Not only had he lost the Sea-Settling Pearl, but he had also fallen for Ling Qing's scheme.
Caught off guard, he was struck from behind by Zhao Gongming, who raised the Divine Whip once more, nearly knocking him off his Sika Deer.
Daoist Randeng cried out in pain, hastily turned his Sika Deer around, and fled back to his own formation.
The Twelve Immortals of Jade Void also cried out as one and hurriedly shielded him.
Zhao Gongming refused to let the matter rest. Spurring his tiger forward, he was about to charge into the enemy formation as he shouted, "Randeng, don't run! Return my Dragon-Binding Rope!"
But seeing that the other side vastly outnumbered them, Ling Qing and Daoist Lingguan feared that the Sea-Settling Pearls they had just recovered might be lost
