"Cough, cough, cough, damn it! Self-destructing directly, are those two Hegemony stage cultivators out of their minds!"
Having been subjected to close-range self-destruction by two Hegemony stage cultivators consecutively.
Chen Fang and his three companions all sustained not minor injuries, and a look of shock appeared on their faces.
It would have been understandable if they had only self-destructed after being heavily injured and cornered with no escape.
But before they had even made any moves, these two who came to their rescue had so decisively self-destructed.
Could it be that behind those people, there was another force specifically targeting our Cangyan Medicine Pavilion?
"No matter what force is behind you, you dared to contend with my Cangyan Medicine Pavilion for profit. Hiding your head and showing your tail is not the act of a powerful force. I'll capture you first, and then interrogate you."
"Fellow Daoists, how are you all? Let's continue our attack together. This time, we must catch that fellow."
Chen Fang looked at the other three Cangyan Medicine Pavilion fellow Daoists who were in a rather disheveled state.
"We're fine, let's continue the pursuit..."
With this thought, these individuals showed no intention of letting the number one natal spirit puppet go, and resumed their pursuit.
And their speed was indeed gradually increasing, getting closer and closer to the number one natal spirit puppet.
At the same time, Li Qi's main body within the Dixu Realm also noticed this scene.
The order to directly self-destruct the second and third natal spirit puppets was naturally given by him.
There was no other reason than that the number one natal spirit puppet still held a vast amount of resources.
The natal spirit puppets could die, but the resources could not be lost.
However, this time, Li Qi's eyes could not help but furrow tightly.
Because he discovered that after he had self-destructed the second and third natal spirit puppets.
The experts from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion were still in pursuit.
"No, the resources cannot be lost. This is all hard-earned money. It seems I have to make a personal appearance."
At this moment, Li Qi once again had the intention of leaving the Dixu Realm.
The main reason was that he had discovered.
That the number one natal spirit puppet's speed alone seemed insufficient to escape the pursuit of Chen Fang and his three companions.
Li Qi was unwilling to lose so many resources for nothing.
With a thought, Li Qi directly vanished from the Dixu Realm.
And in a certain void.
A figure was desperately fleeing, while the four figures behind were in hot pursuit.
Behind them, attacks belonging to the triple Hegemony stage boomed, madly aimed at the fleeing number one natal spirit puppet.
The number one natal spirit puppet had already exhausted its means to escape, and although it was dodging the attacks from behind, it could not evade them all.
For example, one attack struck the number one natal spirit puppet squarely, causing its body to erupt in blood and its flesh to become mangled.
"Stop!"
Just then, a large hand from behind reached out towards the number one natal spirit puppet once more.
The terrifying sealing force was exerted, making it difficult for the number one natal spirit puppet, in its current state, to break free.
And at this moment.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the number one natal spirit puppet.
"Another helper?"
Seeing this suddenly appearing figure, Chen Fang and the others' hearts trembled.
They instinctively wanted to circulate their spiritual energy to resist.
They had been quite shaken by the two recent self-destructions.
But it was clear that they were overthinking.
As a main body, how could Li Qi self-destruct? Moreover, with his strength, there was no need for him to do so.
Li Qi stood quietly in front of the number one natal spirit puppet.
Then, the spiritual energy within him circulated, and the surrounding space trembled slightly.
Immediately, a terrifying aura emanated from Li Qi.
Although he was still at the first Hegemony stage, like the natal spirit puppet, the sense of danger he exuded was frighteningly strong, a world apart from the latter.
Even Chen Fang and the others' eyes widened slightly.
Originally, they had considered it outrageous for the three natal spirit puppets at the first Hegemony stage to be comparable to those at the second Hegemony stage.
But now, feeling the aura emanating from Li Qi,
A profound sense of danger arose, making them feel uneasy.
At this moment, Li Qi also moved.
He gently raised his palm, clenched it into a fist, and punched out fiercely.
Terrifying energy poured into this void.
Countless meteors along the way shattered into dust under this immense pressure.
The pressure that had been sealing the number one natal spirit puppet completely vanished under Li Qi's punch.
The might of this punch did not stop there; it headed towards Chen Fang and his three companions.
This overwhelming sense of crisis made the hearts of the four tremble.
It was unimaginable that such strength could come from Li Qi, a cultivator at the first Hegemony stage.
With such strength, some would even believe he was at the fourth or even fifth Hegemony stage.
"Boom!"
The terrifying fist energy completely enveloped Chen Fang and his three companions.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The collision of spiritual energy produced explosions.
Fortunately.
Facing this punch were four cultivators at the triple Hegemony stage. They each bore a portion of the danger, and thus managed to block Li Qi's attack.
After blocking this attack,
Chen Fang and his three companions no longer dared to act rashly.
With wary eyes, they scanned Li Qi. When Chen Fang tried to see Li Qi's face, he found it blurred, and even his figure was concealed beneath his wide robe.
Chen Fang took a deep breath, his gaze towards Li Qi narrowing slightly.
"Your Excellency, are you the mastermind behind the recent sale of imitation Hegemony Pills in the Void Black Market? May I know your name? If possible, would you be willing to reveal it?"
"What if it was me."
Upon hearing this, Li Qi's expression remained unchanged. His tone, however, carried a hint of mockery as he said.
"As for my name, who I am, judging by my attire, do you think I would tell you?"
It was laughable. Li Qi's attire was precisely to avoid exposing himself and to prevent trouble.
How could he possibly reveal his true identity?
Moreover, he had also gained some understanding of the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion's strength in recent days.
The Cangyan Medicine Pavilion in this Void Black Market seemed to be merely a branch.
Behind it was the headquarters, where there were even more experts. If he were to reveal himself and engage in a fight now, he might have to resort to the 'Farmer's Three Punches' at that time.
In that case, it would be better to be a bit more timid now, cultivate for a few more centuries until he could crush them with sheer strength, and then reveal himself.
Hearing these words, which were spoken with the most defiant tone but contained the most cowardly meaning, Chen Fang's expression twitched slightly.
And at this moment, as if sensing something,
Both Chen Fang's and Li Qi's gazes turned towards the direction of the Void Black Market.
In the direction of the Void Black Market.
Figures were following closely behind.
How could the people in the Void Black Market not be curious about the commotion caused by the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion earlier?
However, the pursuit speed of the triple Hegemony stage cultivators was too fast, preventing them from keeping up for a while.
It was only after Li Qi appeared and they stopped here.
That the cultivators from the Void Black Market managed to catch up.
A group of cultivators from the Void Black Market hid not far away.
They watched Li Qi confronting Chen Fang and his four companions and began to whisper among themselves.
Some watched with amusement, while others spoke with complex tones.
"They must be the ones who have been selling imitation Hegemony Pills recently. I've heard about them for a long time."
"More than just heard. To be honest, fellow Daoist, I was able to break through to the Hegemony stage recently, and it was all thanks to the imitation Hegemony Pills that fellow Daoist sold."
