Chapter 1561 The Beginning of the Ascension to the Sky (2)
There was a pavilion by the foot of the mountain. At this moment, a voice rang from the pavilion.
“I’ve been waiting for everyone for a long time. Everyone, please come in and have a chat with me.”
The four elders surrounded Little Yuan’er immediately. Their expressions changed as they spoke among themselves in lowered voices.
“Old Hua, bring the girl away first.”
“Alright.” Hua Wudao did not refuse and agreed immediately. The other three elders stood in front as Primal Qi surged.
At this time, a graceful man wearing a light red mask walked out of the pavilion. When his gaze landed on the five people, he said, “You can’t escape.”
“???”
The five people were surprised by these very familiar words.
“You’re the one behind that?”
The man bowed to the five of them and said, “I’m Qi Sheng. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in and have a chat.”
Qi Sheng turned to the side slightly and made an inviting gesture.
At the same time, more than ten figures appeared, surrounding the five people.
At this moment, Little Yuan’er walked forward. She looked at Qi Sheng and said, “You’re so annoying.”
Qi Sheng was not angry. “Annoying?”
“You left that message everywhere, and you were even waiting for us here. How did you do it?” Little Yuan’er felt that the Evil Sky Pavilion’s plan was very good. During this period of time, they had been constantly on the move to avoid being found. However, they still ran into the person in front of them. How could there be such a coincidence?
Qi Sheng said, “A new sacred relic has appeared in the Great Void. It can track Saints. No matter where you run, it’ll be able to find you. However, I disdain using such an object.”
Little Yuan’er felt speechless. After a moment, she asked, “Then, what do you
use?”
Qi Sheng pointed at his head.
Pan Litian did not believe it. The routes were ever-changing. How could the person in front of them accurately predict their routes?
Little Yuan’er rolled her eyes and said, “Look at what you’re saying. You think you’re very smart, but you’re still far from being comparable to my Seventh Junior Brother!”
Qi Sheng was still not angry. He said with a smile, “Alright. I’ll be honest. I have a sacred relic that’s even more accurate than the Great Void’s sacred relic.”
“In fact, I could’ve met all of you earlier, but I was held back,” Qi Sheng said as he let out a long sigh, “There are many things that require me to take the lead.”
The five people were confused by these words.
Finally, Little Yuan’er said irritably, “You want to bring me back to the Great Void, right? Who are you?”
“I’m Qi Sheng,” Qi Sheng said. Pan Litian asked, “You’re from the Great Void?”
At this time, a silver-armored guard from the Silver Guards said, “The person standing in front of you is the new commander of the Tu Wei Hall, Master Qi Sheng.”
“Tu Wei Hall?!”
The five of them retreated at the same time as though they were facing a great enemy.
“Don’t be nervous. I mean no harm.”
“The cultivators in Tu Wei Hall are all either stupid or bad! Let’s go!”
Swoosh!
The Nirvana Sash wrapped around the five of them.
Saint Light glowed on Little Yuan’er’s body as she used the Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps. In just a moment, she brought the four elders away into the distance.
Not only was Qi Sheng not anxious, but he even said praisingly, “What a young Saint. I’m afraid there was no one like her in the past and that there won’t be anyone like her in the future.”
“Commander, aren’t we going to chase after them?” one of the Silver Guards asked in confusion.
“They’ll come back.”
Qi Sheng sat down while the other Silver Guards scratched their heads in confusion. After sitting down on the stone bench, he unrolled a piece of paper on the stone table and began to draw on it.
Qi Sheng had drawn a map of the black lotus domain, and the black dot on it represented their location.
After about 15 minutes…
Little Yuan’er and the four elders returned. However, in addition to the five of them, there was also a fierce beast that glowed with a strange light.
The eyes of the fierce beasts flashed with lightning bolts, and its fur was standing on end. It looked like a slender red tiger.
“A Saint slayer from the Great Void!”
The Silver Guards were shocked.
The four elders’ expressions were quite unsightly. It was obvious that they had suffered a loss.
Buzz!
At this moment, a figure appeared above the red tiger.
Qi Sheng rose to his feet immediately and said, “Greetings, Emperor Shang Zhang.”
The Silver Guards bowed and said in unison, “Greetings, Emperor Shang Zhang.”
The four elders were stunned.
The person in front of them dressed in a long red robe was Emperor Shang Zhang of Shang Zhang Hall. His eyes were bright, and he had a slight beard. He had the air of an emperor about him.
One person and one fierce beast stood there. There was no one else.
Shang Zhang looked at the crowd before he said, “Qi Sheng, I’ve already done what I promised you.”
“Thank you for showing mercy, Emperor Shang Zhang,” Qi Sheng said. Then, he pointed at Little Yuan’er, who was surrounded by the four elders, and said, “This little girl possesses one of the Great Void Seeds. As for her talent, there’s no need for me to say anything. You’ll see soon enough.”
Shang Zhang looked at Little Yuan’er and nodded. “Little girl, the entire world is looking for you. You can only protect yourself if you follow me. You have no other choice.”
“What do you want?” Little Yuan’er asked as she glared at Shang Zhang.
“If you’re worthy, I’ll accept you as my disciple,” Shang Zhang said.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Boom!
Little Yuan’er stomped on the ground and flew up.
“Little girl!”
The four elders followed suit and flew up as well.
Four avatars appeared in the air, protecting Little Yuan’er like mountains on all sides.
Shang Zhang pressed his hand down. His hand was like a mountain as he waved at the four avatars.
Without any suspense, the four elders were sent flying, unable to withstand even a single blow.
“Elders!” Little Yuan’er’s heart sank.
“Go!” Zuo Yushu signaled for Little Yuan’er to crush the jade talisman. At the same time, the Coiling Dragon Staff flew out.
Seals after seals appeared in the sky.
Qi Sheng shook his head and said. “It’s useless.”
Shang Zhang waved his sleeve, and the four elders were sent flying again. Their blood and qi surged chaotically in their bodies.
Little Yuan’er charged at Shang Zhang as her body glowed and her avatar towered into the
sky.
“A Saint!” Shang Zhang’s eyes lit up immediately.
The four elders rushed over without caring for their lives.
Shang Zhang waved his sleeve and sent them flying again. He scoffed and said tonelessly, “If it weren’t because I’ve given my word, you would’ve long died. How dare you act presumptuously in front of me?”
The four elders felt despair overwhelm their hearts. The person in front of them was a divine emperor. How could they be a match for a divine emperor? When they landed, they watched helplessly as Shang Zhang tossed out a ring of light to bind Little Yuan’er.
“Let me go! Let me go!” Little Yuan’er struggled with all her might.
Qi Sheng said at this moment, “Little girl, listen to me. Instead of falling into the hands of wicked people, why don’t you follow Emperor Shang Zhang? Remember what I said: you can’t escape.”
After Shang Zhang bound Little Yuan’er to the red tiger’s back, he asked, “There’s only one person. Where’s the other one?”
Qi Sheng replied, “The red lotus domain.”
“You!”
Pan Litian glared at Qi Sheng. He suddenly felt that the young man in front of them was very terrifying
Qi Sheng said, “Emperor Shang Zhang spared your lives. Aren’t you going to thank him?”
Pan Litian laughed mockingly before he said, “Look at how talented you are. Why did you become a lackey of the Great Void?”
Qi Sheng only glanced at Pan Litian before walking out of the pavilion.
Shang Zhang said, “My time is limited.”
“Give me some time,” Qi Sheng said. Then, he slowly walked toward the four elders with his hands on his back. He looked at the four people on the ground and asked, “We’re the same, after all. We’re all like dogs…”
“We? Who do you think you are? Don’t lump yourself in with us,” Zuo Yushu scolded.
Qi Sheng smiled. “You’re full of pride. You’re brave enough to face death. Remember my name: Qi Sheng. I’m the seventh son in my family.”
After saying that, Qi Sheng pressed his hand lightly on Pan Litian’s shoulder.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Pan Litian was sent flying, breaking all the trees he came in contact with.
“Old Pan!”
The other three elders’ eyes reddened. They wanted to get up but were unable to do so.
Qi Sheng straightened his back and placed his hands on his back again before he turned around and said, “Let’s go.”
“Understood!” the Silver Guards replied and bowed in unison.
Shang Zhang’s expression remained indifferent. He did not move, but a huge runic passage appeared in the sky as a burst of light illuminated all directions. Following that, he flew up after he patted the red tiger lightly on the head.
Qi Sheng and the Silver Guards flew up as well.
“Little girl!” the four elders shouted.
Little Yuan’er was so tightly restrained that she could not even struggle. She could only watch in despair as she was brought away.
Silence descended on the jungle.
The elders sat on the ground with ashen faces as they looked at the empty sky in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Leng Luo called out, “Old Pan!”
Pan Litian stood up and touched his shoulders, chest, and body. Then, he exclaimed in surprise, “Could it be that my cultivation has improved so greatly over the years and I accidentally cultivated an invincible body? I’m completely unharmed by that palm strike!”
