Chapter 137 The Softest Persimmon in the Small Yan Zone, Gu Mengping Falls Victim

"Indeed, one cannot indulge them too much."

Feeling the current state of the Heavenly Dao Will of the Dixu Realm, Li Qi couldn't help but sigh.

Ever since Li Qi confiscated the Dixu Realm Heavenly Dao Will's self-service buffet space ring,

The Dixu Realm Heavenly Dao Will could no longer eat and relax whenever it pleased, returning to its previous precarious existence of not knowing where the next meal would come from.

Along with this, its digestion progress of the Heavenly Dao Wills it had devoured also accelerated.

It was afraid that the next time Li Qi emerged from his seclusion, he would discover it hadn't worked hard enough to digest, and then refuse to feed it.

By now, the strength of the Dixu Realm Heavenly Dao Will could at least accommodate cultivators at the fifth level of the Dao Integration realm.

"All gone! All gone! Hungry, hungry."

o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o

As if sensing Li Qi's divine sense.

The Dixu Realm Heavenly Dao Will, which had largely finished digesting, sent a message to Li Qi as if seeking praise.

"Well done, I'll make an exception and let you have a buffet this time."

Li Qi said, and then he tossed the space ring containing the Heavenly Dao Wills towards the dome of the Heavenly Dao space once more.

o(^▽^)o

The mood of the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will became delighted.

A small chubby hand extended again, snatching the space ring.

"Munch munch munch munch."

Without further attention to the gluttonous buffet of the fatso.

Li Qi intended to continue his efforts to break through to the third level of the Dao Integration realm.

But just as he was about to enter seclusion again.

Suddenly, Li Qi sensed something.

Within Li Qi's perception, outside the Dixu Realm, a somewhat anxious figure was heading towards the Dixu Realm.

Li Qi felt the figure was somewhat familiar, likely a Realm Lord from the Minor Vast Zone.

With a flash of his body, he appeared outside the Dixu Realm, in front of the Realm Lord anxiously approaching the Dixu Realm.

"You're looking for me for something?"

This Realm Lord was rushing towards the Dixu Realm with such urgency that even his Nascent Soul eighth-level aura was fluctuating drastically.

However, he dared not delay even a moment, and said while panting.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Senior Xu Tianzong is being held back by quite a few Dao Integration cultivators. Some Dao Integration cultivators from external regions are preparing to eliminate Fellow Daoist Gu Mengping, please go and provide support."

Upon hearing this.

Li Qi's gaze instantly sharpened.

He suddenly recalled that in the past, in the Minor Vast Zone, a Dao Integration cultivator had also been jointly attacked and perished.

It was precisely because of that siege.

One of the two Dao Integration cultivators in the Minor Vast Zone perished, and the other, Xu Tianzong, was severely injured, leading to the Minor Vast Zone suffering heavy losses and invasions from many regions.

"What's going on?"

Although Li Qi already had some guesses in his heart, he still asked.

And what the Realm Lord said next was indeed quite similar to what Li Qi had guessed.

When the wood is the most beautiful in the forest, it is the first to be destroyed by the wind.

In this large area nearby.

There were not many regions with two Dao Integration cultivators.

And regions with three Dao Integration cultivators were even rarer.

These regions with multiple Dao Integration cultivators also made the surrounding regions wary.

Because if a region with multiple Dao Integration cultivators were to launch a lightning war one day and suddenly attack a region guarded by only one Dao Integration cultivator.

The battle situation would essentially be one-sided.

Therefore, those regions with only one Dao Integration cultivator were also on guard, and even secretly colluded to eliminate some Dao Integration cultivators from other regions.

Just like the fallen Dao Integration cultivator in the Minor Vast Zone back then.

He was also a Dao Integration cultivator who had recently broken through.

Unfortunately, at that time, he had to go out of the Minor Vast Zone for some matter.

So, through carelessness, he was jointly dealt with by several Dao Integration cultivators from other regions, leading to his death.

And now.

The Minor Vast Zone, with its three Dao Integration cultivators, had become famous in the surrounding regions.

In fact, those cultivators originally targeted Li Qi.

But unfortunately, Li Qi rarely left his residence, and even less so after acquiring his Natal Spirit Puppets.

The only time he went out openly was to accompany Gu Mengping to purchase Dao Integration Pills.

However, that sudden half-month journey to the Void Black Market did not allow the Dao Integration cultivators from other regions to react in time.

By the time they reacted, Li Qi had already returned.

"Indeed, it's better to be cautious. If I had gone out too much back then, I might have encountered this disaster. Gu Mengping has taken the calamity for me."

Li Qi thought to himself.

Although he wasn't afraid, he already had three Natal Spirit Puppets that could self-destruct, plus all his external aids, it would still be troublesome.

Understanding the whole story, Li Qi immediately asked decisively.

"Where are Gu Mengping and Xu Tianzong?"

The Realm Lord immediately replied, "At the edge of the Minor Vast Zone. This time, Fellow Daoist Gu Mengping was preparing to go to the Void Black Market. He happened to be intercepted by some external Dao Integration cultivators. Fortunately, Senior Xu Tianzong discovered it immediately, otherwise, Fellow Daoist Gu Mengping would have been directly surrounded and killed."

"However, the Dao Integration cultivators from those external regions were also well-prepared. Senior Xu Tianzong is currently being held back. Fellow Daoist Gu Mengping is being surrounded and attacked by three cultivators at the second level of Dao Integration, and he might not be able to hold on for too long."

"Alright, I understand. I'll go support them now."

Upon hearing this, Li Qi didn't hesitate at all.

After all, he was also a Realm Lord of the Minor Vast Zone and could not stand by and watch a Dao Integration cultivator from the same zone perish.

What's more, that Dao Integration cultivator, Gu Mengping, was someone he had watched break through to Dao Integration, so how could he let Gu Mengping die so easily.

There was also another reason.

If Gu Mengping were to be killed this time, his Minor Vast Zone would still have two Dao Integration cultivators.

One always picks the softer persimmon to crush.

If Gu Mengping died,

Then Li Qi, who was only at the second level of Dao Integration on the surface, would likely be next.

Therefore, Li Qi naturally had to ensure that the position of the softest persimmon in the Minor Vast Zone always belonged to Gu Mengping.

In an instant, the spiritual energy on Li Qi's body erupted, and his speed became like a stream of light as he rushed towards the direction the Realm Lord had indicated.
