"However, we had never intended to reveal our faces! Yet you insisted on pressing us so hard!" The cultivator sneered again. "Since that is the case, we have come! Let us show you our true faces!"
"Oh, is that so?" Kou Qinglian smiled and bowed. "Since you are fellow cultivators of the Immortal Music Sect, we naturally cannot pursue the matter. We have disturbed you."
"Indeed, the Immortal Music Sect has always enjoyed good relations with the islands overseas. Fellow cultivators, you merely came here to travel. We had a slight misunderstanding, nothing more. We shall leave at once. Please, make yourselves at home," Xiang Wenqing said with a smile as well.
"Haha, fellow cultivators, isn't it a little too late to think of leaving now?" The cultivator laughed loudly. "Would our Immortal Music Sect truly care about some insignificant sea beast in the Qiang He Sea? Our Immortal Music Sect discovered—"
Before he could finish, a cultivator beside him frowned. "Third Junior Disciple Brother, aren't you talking too much?"
"Yes, I understand!" The cultivator immediately fell silent, then waved his hand. "Senior Brothers, since these cultivators have seen our movements, let us follow our elders' instructions—leave not a single one alive!"
At his command, blue radiance flashed over the bodies of the five mid Foundation Establishment cultivators in unison, as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all around was drawn into their bodies!
"Go!" How could Kou Qinglian and the others dare say another word? Knowing they had fallen into someone else's scheme, they shouted together. Power surged through their bodies, light spilling from them as they prepared to flee into the sea!
"Rise!" One of the mid Foundation Establishment cultivators shouted in a low voice. All five sat cross-legged in midair, their hands forming extraordinarily strange incantation gestures.
