Wang Yu
Chapter 1125: Chasing and Killing Qimozi
As Hei Tian Mo Zu and the remnant soul of the Taisui Immortal Sovereign clashed, dark clouds gathered in the high sky, devoid of lightning flashes, yet filled with rumbling sounds.
Around the void, gusts of wind rose from the ground, and the earth trembled faintly. The entire Space of the Time Pagoda seemed to be losing its stability.
"Brother Han, the Time God Lamp must not fall into the hands of Qimozi. We must retrieve it," Jiao San said to Han Li, his expression grave.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao San, Qimozi is a Grand Luo cultivator after all. Not only is he powerful, but he is also cunning. Now that he has obtained the Time God Lamp, he is even more powerful. It doesn't seem wise for us to pursue him now," Han Li said, a hesitant look on his face.
Now that he had completely broken free from the influence of Hei Tian Mo Zu's inner demons, he was naturally not as fanatical about the Time God Lamp as before.
"Brother Han, you already have a feud with this Qimozi, why are you retreating now?" Jiao San asked hurriedly.
"Although I have a feud with him, the gap between our strengths is too obvious. Moreover, with the Time God Lamp displaced, the tower's restrictions have been lifted. This place is not suitable for a long stay. We should leave quickly," Han Li said noncommittally.
"To be honest, Brother Han, Qimozi not only took the Time God Lamp, but also the key item of our Samsara Hall's mission this time, which must be retrieved. As a member of the Sons of Reincarnation, you should also participate," Jiao San glanced at the direction of Qimozi, a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and said.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao San, don't force others to do what they don't want to do. Although this is a Samsara Hall mission, it is not my mission. After all, with my status, I can't participate in a mission of this magnitude," Han Li said, unmoved.
Jiao San's expression stiffened upon hearing this. He didn't expect Han Li to use his previous words to brush him off.
"Brother Han, if I remember correctly, there's a little guy named 'Jin Tong' who seems to have a good relationship with you, right? His situation is not very good at the moment," Jiao San's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly said through voice transmission.
"What do you mean by that?" Han Li asked, his expression unchanged, but his heart tightened.
"The matter is a long story, and I can't explain it clearly in a short time. In short, capturing Qimozi is also crucial to your little friend. Please don't hesitate and take action quickly. This Qimozi cultivates the power of the Time Law, and it will be very troublesome without your help," Jiao San said, looking anxious.
While the two were talking, Hu San and Liu Zizai had already chased after him. After all, the latter's natal soul tablet was still in Qimozi's hands.
"If that's the case, I'm willing to help you, but I don't care about the other things later. How about the Time God Lamp belonging to me?" Han Li said.
In fact, he had an irreconcilable feud with Qimozi, and now he also intended to take the opportunity to pursue and kill him to avoid future troubles. However, since Jiao San, a person with a high status in the Samsara Hall, had asked him for help, he naturally had to reciprocate and make him owe him a favor.
However, Jiao San's sudden mention of Jin Tong was not without purpose, which made Han Li somewhat unexpected, and a trace of gloom could not help but appear in his heart.
"Okay, I can agree to this matter, but Fellow Daoist Han must not compete for the other things on Qimozi," Jiao San nodded and agreed without much hesitation.
She naturally understood Han Li's little thoughts. After all, her main goal was to obtain the black iron token. As long as Han Li didn't compete with her for this thing, everything could be discussed.
Han Li naturally had no objection to this.
After the two reached an agreement, the light on Jiao San's body suddenly brightened, and he took the lead to chase after him.
At this moment, a silver light flew over from the ruins of the main hall. It was the Jingyan Firebird, holding in its mouth the Fire Orb, one of the five immortal artifacts that made up the Five Elements Obliteration Array.
"It seems that the great array is no longer working without anyone controlling it," Han Li muttered to himself and put away the Firebird.
He glanced at the terrifying fluctuations caused by the battle between Hei Tian Mo Zu and the remnant soul of the Taisui Immortal Sovereign, shrank his neck slightly, and was about to leave when he saw Qu Lin and Li Qima transforming into human forms and searching for something in the ruins of the main hall.
He leaped and came to the two of them.
"Fellow Daoists, stop watching the excitement and come help me seize the lamp," Han Li said with a smile.
"Seize the lamp, seize what lamp? This old ancestor is still busy. Go play by yourself and don't make trouble," Li Qima said impatiently, still holding a cyan smoking pipe in his hand, not even looking at Han Li.
"Fellow Daoist Qu, he is unwilling to help, what about you? We agreed earlier to help me deal with an enemy, and he is over there now," Han Li pointed to the distance, where Jiao San and the others had intercepted Qimozi.
"The agreed matter will naturally not change, but I have more important things to do now. There are so many of you dealing with him, it should be enough," Qu Lin said without much hesitation.
"Could it be that the two of you are here looking for this?" At this moment, Han Li suddenly said with a smile.
Qu Lin immediately turned his head upon hearing this.
Li Qima put away his smoking pipe, landed on all fours, and also looked towards Han Li.
As a result, he saw Han Li holding two blood-red tokens in his hand, shaking them casually at them.
Han Li originally didn't want to take out these two natal soul tablets immediately, especially Qu Lin's, because with this thing in hand, Jin Tong would have another trump card when he faced him in the future.
Therefore, in order to prevent them from sensing it, Han Li also added a layer of restriction to the token and kept it in the Flower Branch Cave Heaven, but now he had to take it out in order to make them help obediently.
"Good boy, it's really in your hands. I told you before that if you can retrieve this old ancestor's natal soul tablet, I will definitely reward you handsomely. Now you can fulfill it," Li Qima said with a wide grin.
"Hey... Fellow Daoist, don't worry, let's talk about the reward after I beat Qimozi first," Han Li said, flipping his palm and putting away the two tokens.
"Good thief boy, you won't release the eagle until you see the rabbit. This old ancestor will help you," Li Qima said angrily, his horse face stiffening.
"Then let's kill that person first," Qu Lin said, his brows slightly furrowed.
After the two finished speaking, a white whirlwind rose beside Li Qima, and his figure disappeared instantly.
Han Li and Qu Lin followed closely behind and caught up.
The Tongtian Sword Sect and his party had already taken advantage of the chaos to retreat hundreds of miles away. Daoist Daoyin, who had been carried on Lei Yuce's back, finally woke up at this time.
He coughed lightly, then turned his head and looked behind him, but saw that the world had changed, and the entire space was in chaos.
"This... what happened?" Daoist Daoyin asked in a trembling voice.
"Master, you're awake?" Lei Yuce was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly put him down.
He roughly told Daoist Daoyin what had happened after he fainted, causing Daoist Daoyin to frown repeatedly.
"What? The remnant soul of the Old Ancestor has descended... Alas, what a sin... If the God Lamp is not in our hands, once it is displaced, it will not be able to maintain the confinement power of the Time Pagoda. Once the demons imprisoned in the tower escape, we will become the culprits of the chaos in the Jinyuan Immortal Territory," Daoist Daoyin said with a long sigh.
"Headmaster, we are fortunate enough to be able to protect ourselves in the current situation. We really can't care about too much," an elder persuaded.
"No, the reputation of the Tongtian Sword Sect cannot be ruined in my hands. A wisp of the Immortal Sovereign's remnant soul is still fighting against Old Devil Heitian. I will risk my old life to take back the God Lamp and suppress the demons in the tower again," Daoist Daoyin said indignantly.
"Master, the God Lamp has been displaced for a long time, and the demons in the tower are probably already escaping. There are still disciples from various sects stationed outside the tower, which should be able to block it for a while. At this moment, what we need to do is to leave the Time Pagoda and the entire ruins space as soon as possible, and try to activate the last trump card left by the Immortal Sovereign," Lei Yuce hurriedly persuaded.
"Are you saying, destroy the Time Pagoda and the entire ruins space together?" Hearing this, Daoist Daoyin calmed down a lot and said.
"If that's the case, won't those disciples from various sects who are still in the secret realm have to be buried with them?" Su Anxi's expression changed when she heard this, and she turned to look at Lei Yuce and asked.
"If we let the demons in the tower reach the Immortal Territory, it won't just be so few people who die. We should choose the lesser of two evils. This is the only way," Lei Yuce said with a solemn expression, not looking at Su Anxi.
"The situation is special now, so we can only do this. Since these people are bewitched and try to seize our sect's treasure lamp, they deserve to die. At that time, this lamp will eventually return to our sect and help our sect regain its glory!" Daoist Daoyin said with a stern expression.
Su Anxi opened her mouth when she heard this, but in the end, she didn't say anything more.
After saying that, they hurried to the edge of the seventh floor space. Without the restrictions, they could leave the tower from there.
After these people left, a black rock not far from here suddenly rolled to the side, and a figure crawled out from the ground, which was Xiong Shan.
He took off a golden talisman from between his eyebrows, treasured it, and put it away. Then, he let out a long breath of turbid air.
"These Tongtian Sword Sect guys are going to destroy the entire secret realm. It seems that I have to leave immediately..." After saying a word, he flipped his palm again.
Immediately, a flash of light appeared in front of him, and a golden long sword and an earthy yellow great seal appeared. They were the two immortal artifacts used to set up the Five Elements Obliteration Array, but at the moment, the light on them was a little dim, obviously due to the consumption of too much energy.
"Fortunately, you are here. Although I almost lost my life this time, it's not a loss," he carefully stroked the golden long sword and the earthy yellow great seal, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, and put them away.
Then, he stood up, glanced at the chaotic battlefield from afar, spat lightly, and said:
"You guys keep playing, I'll take a step first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a blue light flashing overhead, seemingly the woman named Lan Yan, also flying away towards the distance.
He frowned slightly, then also flew up, away from this place of right and wrong.
