Frantic Escape!

The Transcendentalist spread his right hand, and a force descended from the heavens, reaching for Ye Xiao's body.

The next moment.

Ye Xiao's body was immediately gripped by that force.

"Trying to take the Longevity Seed right in front of me?"

"You've got some nerve!"

The Transcendentalist stood above the deep pit, staring at Ye Xiao with a mocking expression.

At that moment, he had Ye Xiao's body firmly in his grasp.

Ye Xiao's face turned utterly grim.

He gritted his teeth and chose to persist.

Because his outstretched right hand was only one palm's length away from the Longevity Seed's core.

"Kid, you're pretty strong."

The Transcendentalist could feel Ye Xiao's strength.

He was clearly under his control.

Yet he was still trying to struggle forward.

Suddenly.

Ye Xiao discovered that the force the Transcendentalist had placed upon him had loosened somewhat.

It gave Ye Xiao enough room to stretch his hand a little farther forward.

And with that slight extension of his hand.

Ye Xiao seized the Longevity Seed's inner core!

More precisely, it was half a Longevity Seed!

But no matter what.

Ye Xiao had already grasped the Longevity Seed's core!

It felt icy cold in his hand, as if the chill had seeped through his entire body.

At that moment.

The Transcendentalist's voice came from above the deep pit.

"Kid, have you grabbed the Longevity Seed?"

"Then come up!"

The Transcendentalist had deliberately used Ye Xiao to grab the Longevity Seed.

On one hand.

He needed a guinea pig to test whether directly touching the Longevity Seed would bring any negative effects.

On the other hand.

He could use Ye Xiao to obtain the Longevity Seed, then fish Ye Xiao out of the pit.

That way, he would not need to descend into the pit himself
