Extortion

The person might not have been the right one, but there was no doubt about their identity—they were foreign blood food. In other words, they were not natives of the Mythical Realm.

Li Su suppressed the faint stirrings of his emotions and continuously scrutinized the group in the distance.

In an instant, his brows furrowed.

The other side's lineup was anything but ordinary. If he had truly made a move just now, he would have had only two paths: either call for backup and summon the Daoist Child Palace the Interception Sect had given him, or shut the gates and unleash the supreme treasure, going all out from the start.

For an escort team of ten, there were three Profound Immortals and seven Tenfire Celestials. Most startling of all, one of the Profound Immortals was a Tenfire Perfected Taiyi.

That lineup was undoubtedly a little excessive.

The aura of the foremost person in the cage being escorted had already been exposed. Though powerful, they were only at the Celestial Immortal realm—the outer realm's cultivation level, namely the Immortal Realm. They had not reached the ultimate five transformations, only around four.

In other words, they were merely infinitely close to a Ninefire Celestial. For such strength, Tenfire Celestials were more than enough for an escort; at most, they would add a Taiyi Realm cultivator, and even then only one at the lowest level—a Fivefire Taiyi who had broken through during the Thousand-Year War.

Li Su's gaze flickered slightly as he recalled the idle chatter of those people earlier.

They said the other side had slain a Profound Immortal?

How could that be possible?

A Profound Immortal might seem easy for Li Su to handle, but that was because he possessed an unparalleled foundation: fifteen-pill Golden Core, seven transformations of Dao Fruit.
