Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 972 So Timid?

Previously, the journey to the Luotian Daochang was for the purpose of seizing the God-Replenishing Fruit, which led the two to utilize the Five Elements Divine Flags to save time.

With several thousand years remaining until the grand gathering at Luotian Daochang, Qin Han Chu and A Xiang did not need to rush.

Fengming Divine Mountain was a necessary path on the way to Luotian Daochang.

Therefore, Wu Jian Tian and his two companions had arrived early and laid out a divine sealing array here.

They had to seal off the teleportation channel of the Five Elements Divine Flags at the earliest opportunity, otherwise Qin Han Chu and the other might be able to escape using the teleportation provided by the Five Elements Divine Flags.

"They're here!"

Several days later, Wu Jian Tian's expression turned solemn.

The woman in red and the young man in white quickly retracted their divine senses and auras.

Just as they were about to reach Fengming Divine Mountain, Qin Han Chu and A Xiang both stopped their flight.

The Sky-Opening Divine Axe and the Seven Killings Prison Suppression Pagoda had already issued a warning to the two.

"What's going on? Why did they stop?"

"Could it be they've already detected us?"

"How is that possible? Our cultivation realms are stronger than theirs, they couldn't possibly sense us."

"It's impossible for them to stop there for no reason, they must have sensed something was wrong."

While the three were discussing, Qin Han Chu suddenly activated the teleportation channel of the Five Elements Divine Flags.

Before Wu Jian Tian and his two companions could react, Qin Han Chu and A Xiang had already vanished from their original positions.

"As expected, they sensed us."

"They must have other special divine artifacts on them!"

"I think so too. They are both newly promoted Divine Emperors. Without special divine artifacts to warn them, they wouldn't be able to sense our ambush."

"Is there still a need to pursue them?"

Wu Jian Tian clenched his fist in anger: "I'll go after them alone. You two follow behind me."

The woman in red smiled: "You want to use yourself as bait?"

"There are two of them, and only one of me."

"As long as they want to kill me, they'll take the bait."

...

In an instant, Qin Han Chu and A Xiang had passed through the area of Fengming Divine Mountain.

The two flew at high speed while communicating telepathically.

A Xiang said: "Do you think it was a coincidence or was someone deliberately setting up an ambush and assassination here?"

"It should be a planned assassination," Qin Han Chu said thoughtfully.

"Bai Li Han Su, if you have the guts, don't run!"

At this moment, Wu Jian Tian's roar suddenly came from behind them.

A Xiang frowned: "Wu Jian Tian dares to chase after us and assassinate us alone?"

"It's impossible for it to be just him. If it were only him, the Sky-Opening Divine Axe wouldn't have warned us," Qin Han Chu said.

"He's using himself to lure us into stopping."

Qin Han Chu sneered: "No need to pay attention to him. There's no benefit in fighting him now."

"I think so too," A Xiang nodded.

"Senior Brother Wu, speed up a bit," Qin Han Chu teased, shouting: "If you can catch up to me, I'll play with you."

Wu Jian Tian roared in anger: "Two Divine Emperors are afraid of me alone? Are you that cowardly?"

"We are indeed cowardly, what can you do to us?" Qin Han Chu and A Xiang maintained their speed, clearly playing with Wu Jian Tian.

Wu Jian Tian did not expect Qin Han Chu to be so shameless, and he helplessly stopped his pursuit.

With the teleportation provided by the Five Elements Divine Flags, even if he caught up, Qin Han Chu and the other could shake him off in an instant, which would only make him appear more ridiculous.

"These two have seen through our plan."

"It's not easy to snatch the Five Elements Divine Flags."

Not long after, the woman in red and the young man in white caught up.

Just as the three were chatting, a teleportation channel suddenly appeared in the distance.

Qin Han Chu and A Xiang returned.

"Wasn't it just you alone? Aren't these two people?" Qin Han Chu sarcastically mocked without politeness.

"You!" Wu Jian Tian and his two companions turned red with anger.

Just as they were about to rush forward to fight Qin Han Chu, they saw Qin Han Chu and A Xiang turn and walk into the teleportation channel.

"I'll play with you properly after I complete the sect mission."

As Qin Han Chu's words fell, the teleportation channel vanished from its place.

"If they didn't have the Five Elements Divine Flags, I would have made sure they died here," Wu Jian Tian gritted his teeth.

The woman in red said: "This fellow is very cunning, it's not easy to catch him."

"No need to waste time, let's go back to the sect and cultivate in seclusion."

Although Wu Jian Tian was unwilling, at this moment, he had no other means to deal with Qin Han Chu.

This chase ended in failure again.

With the current strength of Qin Han Chu and A Xiang, it was not difficult to defeat Wu Jian Tian and his two companions.

However, winning was one thing, but being able to kill them was another.

To save face, exposing his avatars would not benefit Qin Han Chu.

It was precisely for this reason that Qin Han Chu did not confront Wu Jian Tian head-on.

There was still a long time ahead, and there would always be opportunities to eliminate Wu Jian Tian.

Changning City was a top-tier city within Luotian Daochang.

And the management of this city was handled by a subordinate force of Luotian Daochang.

This force, like the Fengyun Divine Sect and other forces, had only Divine Emperor level as their strongest members.

Qin Han Chu and A Xiang had traveled a long way, so they wanted to rest in this city for a while.

As Divine Emperors, they could already disregard the anti-air laws of these cities.

The two swaggered and landed on the street in the city.

Seeing Qin Han Chu and the other two descend directly from the sky, the surrounding martial artists quickly moved aside and respectfully bowed: "Greetings, seniors."

Qin Han Chu and A Xiang ignored them, and walked forward hand in hand.

"Shall we go to a restaurant to satisfy our appetites first?" Qin Han Chu asked with a smile.

A Xiang nodded: "We can."

After Qin Han Chu and the other two walked away, people dared to communicate and discuss.

"Divine Emperors are truly overbearing, they don't even need to heed the city's anti-air formations."

"When you cultivate to become a Divine Emperor, you can also be so arrogant."

"How difficult it is to cultivate to become a Divine Emperor, you either fight with your life or have great fortune."

"These two seem to be from Gu Dao Academy, and should be going to participate in the grand gathering at Luotian Daochang."

"I heard that the Luotian Ancestor will be offering an Ancestor-grade divine pill as a reward for the grand gathering."

"Ancestor-grade divine pill? If we could obtain it, wouldn't we be able to directly become Divine Emperors?"

"Don't even think about it, that's for Divine Emperors to contend for."

Ancestor-grade divine pills were the highest-grade divine pills in the God Realm, and only nine-star alchemists had the chance to refine them successfully.

Luotian Daochang offering an Ancestor-grade divine pill as a reward for the grand gathering was indeed a very generous gesture.

A moment later, Qin Han Chu and A Xiang entered a restaurant.

They casually ordered several dishes and sat by the window, chatting while drinking tea.

"Should we inquire about what the grand gathering at Luotian Daochang is about in advance?" A Xiang said, putting down her teacup.

Qin Han Chu nodded: "We'll ask someone later. Since it's a grand gathering of Luotian Daochang, it should be easy to get information."
