Ganged up on

Above a boundless stretch of sea.

Three fellows blocked Mu Chen's path.

One had long crimson hair, a burly frame, and eyes as vicious as a tiger's. He appeared to be a tiger spirit.

One had long purple hair and a pair of wings on his back, with cold eyes and an exceedingly sinister smile on his lips. He was probably an eagle spirit.

The last had a turtle shell on his back and was aged and decrepit, his face covered in wrinkles-a turtle spirit.

And all of them were at the Mystic Immortal level.

Barring any surprises.

These were the three demons who had shown killing intent toward him during Tongtian's sermon.

Mu Chen was not surprised at all and merely asked with a smile.

"May I ask your names, fellow Daoists?"

The burly man with long crimson hair declared proudly.

"I am the Earth-Show Evil Demon Tiger Venerable of Southeast Mountain."

The middle-aged man with two wings said indifferently.

"I am the Heaven-Show Earth-Show Demon Shadow of Southeast Mountain!"

The old turtle said slowly.

"I am the Water-Show Turtle God of Southeast Mountain!"

Hearing those titles.

Mu Chen could not help feeling a surge of admiration.

Those hair colors spanning red, orange, yellow, and green.

Those ridiculously badass names.

They really did put on quite a show...

Mu Chen played dumb.

"May I ask what business you three have with me?"

The tiger spirit sneered.

"Since you haven't joined the Jie Sect, obediently hand over those three Innate Spirit Treasures. A mere Heavenly Immortal isn't qualified to possess so many treasures."

A playful smile appeared on Mu Chen's lips.

"Are you planning to kill me and take my treasures? Aren't you afraid I'll suppress you with my Innate Spirit Treasures?"

The turtle demon slowly stroked his beard and said smugly.

"A mere Heavenly Immortal can unleash at most one percent of a single Innate Spirit Treasure's might. Trying to control several is nothing but an idiot's dream!"

"All three of us brothers have Mystic Immortal cultivation now. You're certain to die! You'd better hand them over obediently."

Mu Chen froze.

He had always spent his days in seclusion.

And his cultivation was at the Daluo Golden Immortal level.

He had never considered whether he could wield multiple Innate Spirit Treasures.

Yet now that he heard them say it... it seemed to make sense.

Holy shit.

Didn't that mean I was in serious danger now?

The tiger spirit was the leader of the three demons, and killing intent now lay fully exposed in his eyes.

"You puny Heavenly Immortal, hand over the treasures right now, or die!"

With that, a wave of Mystic Immortal pressure erupted.

It locked firmly onto Mu Chen.

Mu Chen stopped pretending now.

He immediately took out the Nine-Nine Red Cloud Soul-Scattering Gourd.

Red sand surged out and filled the sky, surrounding all three of them in midair.

Then he prepared to flee.

Although this was only a clone, he would rather not die if he could help it.

The three demons assumed their true forms and began frantically attacking the red sand before them.

But they had still underestimated it.

An Innate Spirit Treasure was an Innate Spirit Treasure, after all!

Even one percent of its power was beyond their ability to break through.

Just then.

Beings who had attended the sermon and left Penglai Immortal Island appeared on the horizon one after another, with demonic birds and strange creatures making up the vast majority.

Seeing that Mu Chen was about to make his getaway.

The tiger spirit panicked and hurriedly roared.

"This Human Race Heavenly Immortal has three Innate Spirit Treasures on him! Whoever kills him gets them!"

The moment his words fell.

Everyone's gaze shifted over.

When they saw the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd in Mu Chen's hand, their eyes lit up, and they charged over as though pumped full of chicken blood.

"An Innate Spirit Treasure! It's mine!"

"Since I can't enter a Sage's tutelage to cultivate, getting an Innate Spirit Treasure will do!"

"I know this brat. His name's Wang Zha or something. This son of a bitch was the one who auctioned off the front seat!"

"In that case, there's even less reason to put up with him. Gang up on him!"

Countless demonic beasts charged over like a tidal wave.

They blotted out the sky and covered the earth.

Their momentum was staggering.

At the sight of this.

Mu Chen was falling apart inside.

He had thought there would not be much danger.

But who could have known he would suddenly attract so many demons?

Mu Chen made a snap decision.

He put away the Soul-Scattering Gourd and took to his heels.

At the same time, he turned his head and roared viciously.

"Come on, if you've got the guts! Just wait until I go back and get a Daluo Golden Immortal. Don't run away if you've got the balls!"
