A Xiang also agreed with Qin Hanchu’s idea.
Even if they temporarily took control of Gǔdào City, they couldn’t hold onto it.
After all, the Celestial Gods of Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion had not suffered any casualties.
Once they returned, they could easily recapture Gǔdào City.
Therefore, it was meaningless for Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion to occupy Gǔdào City.
Roar!
As the two were chatting, a terrifying roar echoed from the depths of the City Lord’s Mansion.
The moment the roar sounded, the phantom image of a terrifying beast loomed in the air.
“I didn’t expect Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion to collude with the Demon God Hall.”
“Since you’ve come, then stay.”
At this moment, five terrifying auras approached from afar.
“It’s a trap, go!”
There were only three Celestial Gods guarding Gǔdào City in the Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion, but now five Celestial God auras had appeared.
It was clear that the three from Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion had only pretended to leave.
“We weren’t discovered, were we?”
Qin Hanchu’s brow furrowed slightly.
Since this was a trap, wouldn’t there be Celestial Gods constantly observing this place with their spiritual senses?
If there were indeed Celestial God experts spying, Qin Hanchu and A Xiang’s actions would have surely been discovered.
“No.” A Xiang explained, “If Celestial Gods were secretly spying, the Celestial Gods of Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion would have surely sensed it. Their exposure should be because they triggered a formation.”
Just as A Xiang said, to lure these people into the City Lord’s Mansion, the Celestial Gods of Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion indeed did not spy.
“It’s good that we weren’t discovered. As long as three more years pass, we can leave.”
Although their objective had been achieved, Qin Hanchu and A Xiang still had to stay.
The contract they signed back then was for five years.
As long as the Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion did not collapse, they had to continue to act as guards.
With a command from the Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion’s experts, all the martial artists who participated in the infiltration withdrew from the battle.
They wanted to leave, but it was too late.
With five Celestial Gods surrounding them, it wasn’t as simple as coming and going as they pleased.
“To keep us here, you five are not enough!”
Seeing that the people from Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion were about to fall into danger, two celestial divine powers arrived from the distant sky.
Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion’s reinforcements had arrived.
Although the opponent’s Celestial Gods were very strong, their Immortal King martial artists were at an absolute disadvantage.
As more and more martial artists poured in, the Immortal Kings, Immortal Venerables, and Immortal Saints of Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion were successively killed or trapped.
As for the battle at the Celestial God level, these people couldn’t participate at all.
“Break the formation!”
With a roar, blood lightning filled the heavens and earth.
Rumble!
A gigantic spear condensed from the blood lightning.
Under Qin Hanchu’s gaze, this terrifying spear landed in the depths of the City Lord’s Mansion.
With the sound of the explosion, Qin Hanchu and the other Immortal Kings were forced to retreat continuously.
Fortunately, they were some distance away from the depths of the City Lord’s Mansion.
If they were in the core area of the battle, the residual fluctuations of this single strike would have been enough to severely injure Qin Hanchu and the others.
“Withdraw.”
The captain of the guards also knew that the current battle was not something they could participate in, so they could only try to stay away from the core of the battle.
“Ten thousand years of imprisonment, Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion, you just wait and see!”
With a furious roar, a giant beast with wings on its back soared into the sky.
This beast was the Celestial God expert from the Demon God Hall.
“Damn it!”
The experts of Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion had not expected Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion to pay such a heavy price.
To rescue this expert from the Demon God Hall, the three Celestial Gods of Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion had all appeared.
Although there were five people from Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion, it was still difficult to keep the four opponents there.
This winged giant beast was named the Iron-Winged Demonic Bear, a terrifying ancient relic.
Knowing that revenge was impossible today, it left behind a harsh warning and began to break through with the Celestial Gods of Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion.
The five from Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion naturally would not give up. They transformed into streams of light and pursued them.
The battle came and ended quickly.
As the Celestial Gods of both sides departed, peace was restored to Qin Hanchu’s City Lord’s Mansion.
Only the devastated and damaged buildings proved the ferocity of the battle that had just occurred.
Led by the captain of the guards, Qin Hanchu and the others began to clean up the ruined battlefield.
Fortunately, the battle at the Celestial God level was conducted at high altitudes.
If they had fought within the City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord’s Mansion would likely need to be rebuilt by now.
Starting the next day, the city’s craftsmen accepted the repair task for the City Lord’s Mansion.
In the room, A Xiang unsealed her Immortal Treasure.
The once inconspicuous bracelet emitted a blue light.
In her previous life, A Xiang was a Celestial God expert who possessed three laws.
This bracelet was an immortal artifact of the Law of Light.
“This is a pill of the Law of Life and Death. After you absorb it, you can enhance your strength.”
Although A Xiang did not possess the Law of Life and Death, in her previous life, she had killed several Immortal Saint martial artists who possessed the Law of Life and Death.
From these people, A Xiang obtained some immortal pills of the Law of Life and Death.
Even though tens of thousands of years had passed, due to proper preservation, these immortal pills had not lost their effectiveness.
Qin Hanchu did not stand on ceremony with A Xiang and readily accepted them.
After retrieving her own treasures, A Xiang re-cultivated the Law of Light through the preserved immortal treasures.
In addition, A Xiang’s top-tier immortal artifact was back in her hands.
A few days later, A Xiang and Qin Hanchu resumed their patrols.
It wasn’t until several months later that the Celestial Gods of Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion finally returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.
A few days later, Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion officially declared war on Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion.
During the war, any martial artist of the Wolf Immortal Pavilion who was killed would earn enemy points.
These points could be exchanged for a large amount of spirit crystals.
As their guard duty had not yet ended, Qin Hanchu and A Xiang did not participate.
Over these three years, Qin Hanchu and A Xiang’s strength had grown considerably.
One day, their guard duty finally ended.
Since the Immortal Treasure had been obtained, there was no need for Qin Hanchu and A Xiang to stay any longer.
After receiving their mission rewards, the two returned to the inn.
“Congratulations on getting your Immortal Treasure back.”
Upon hearing that A Xiang had succeeded, the Dragon Lord and Patriarch Baili said enviously.
“The battle between Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion and Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion has not ended yet. We can take this opportunity to help you find your Immortal Treasure,” Qin Hanchu suggested.
Patriarch Baili said, “My Immortal Treasure requires passing through Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion, and with our strength, we cannot pass through.”
“Let’s go to the border first and participate in the battle between Gǔdào Immortal Pavilion and Yuèláng Immortal Pavilion.”
“This is a good opportunity to earn spirit crystals,” the Dragon Lord said.
Although A Xiang had retrieved her Immortal Treasure, she was not obligated to provide them with cultivation resources.
The three of them all practiced the Law of Reincarnation, so the cultivation resources they needed were the same.
If the Dragon Lord and Patriarch Baili wanted to increase their strength, they could only earn spirit crystals themselves.
“Then let’s set off quickly.”
“With our strength, as long as we don’t encounter martial artists at the Immortal Venerable level or above, we won’t be in danger.”
Having retrieved her former top-tier immortal artifact, A Xiang’s combat power had greatly increased.
When facing ordinary Immortal Kings, A Xiang was capable of overwhelming them.
