"Are there any of your companions here? You are responsible for luring them over, and then you will kill the target together."
Qin Hanchu's eyes held a calm detachment.
He simply didn't take Zhou You and the others seriously.
"You are not afraid?"
Zhou You's companion looked at Qin Hanchu and the other three in surprise.
Knowing this was a trap, why weren't they afraid?
"I told you, I won't go to dangerous places."
"Since we followed you, it means you pose no threat in our eyes."
"Can you understand what I mean by saying this?"
Qin Hanchu smiled.
"You think you can control everything?"
"My teammates haven't appeared yet, and you are so confident?"
Qin Hanchu and the other three's disdain greatly angered Zhou You and his three companions.
"Then call them out!"
As soon as A Xiang finished speaking, three auras suddenly revealed themselves not far away.
The previous three had used the formation to conceal their auras and figures. Now that they had left the formation, their presences naturally could not be hidden from the spiritual senses of Qin Hanchu and the other three.
Including these three, there were a total of seven people on the opposing side.
Although there were subdivisions within the Immortal King realm, these minor distinctions were not the most direct cause of combat power.
The quality of laws, the cultivated immortal techniques, and the immortal artifacts held were the most direct factors influencing combat strength.
Generally speaking, four Immortal Kings would find it difficult to defeat seven Immortal Kings.
But that was only generally speaking.
Qin Hanchu and the other three were not ordinary Immortal Kings.
"Now what?"
"Do you still think you are not in danger?"
"Hand over your immortal crystals, immortal artifacts, and other resources."
"If you cooperate, we can spare your lives."
Zhou You threatened with a cold laugh.
"Kill them all, leave no survivors!"
Qin Hanchu directly drew his Mu Qing Sword, and terrifying life and death laws, amplified by a top-grade immortal artifact, slashed towards Zhou You and his four companions.
A Xiang and the other two also made their moves simultaneously.
A Xiang and Dragon Lord coordinated with Qin Hanchu to kill Zhou You and his four companions, while Patriarch Baili stepped in to intercept the three approaching figures.
At this moment, A Xiang also deployed her top-grade reincarnation immortal artifact, and her attack followed closely!
With life and death laws, the Sword Scripture of Life and Death, and a top-grade immortal artifact, Qin Hanchu's strike even reached the power level of an Immortal Venerable.
Zhou You and his four companions had not expected Qin Hanchu to be so terrifying.
Although the four had released their shields at the first instant, it was already too late.
How could the shields they hastily released withstand Qin Hanchu's full-power attack?
In an instant, the defenses of Zhou You and his four companions were destroyed.
Qin Hanchu's terrifying attack directly shattered them into heavily injured states.
Before the four could activate their defenses a second time, A Xiang's attack arrived.
The terrifying reincarnation laws fiercely impacted the four.
This caused the already injured four to have their physical bodies collapse directly!
Their immortal souls let out terrified screams, but before they could escape, they were destroyed by Dragon Lord's attack.
The cooperation between the three was flawless, eliminating the four in mere seconds.
"Escape!"
The three blocked by Patriarch Baili were already stunned.
In such a short time, four Immortal Kings had been killed?
Without these four companions, how could they possibly win?
The three wanted to flee, but it was too late.
Qin Hanchu had already positioned himself behind the three.
"Fellow Daoists, we were also misled by them."
"We are willing to surrender and join your team."
...
The three tried to beg for mercy, but Qin Hanchu and his two companions showed no hesitation.
Facing the encirclement of Qin Hanchu and the other three, these three were like lambs to the slaughter.
Even though Qin Hanchu and A Xiang had put away their top-grade immortal artifacts, it still only took a few minutes to kill the three.
After collecting the resources of the seven people, Qin Hanchu and the other three divided the spoils on the spot.
Having dealt with matters here, the four continued their search for Zhou Chongshan's whereabouts.
They searched here for a long time but found nothing.
Helpless, the four had to expand their search range.
"This is still within the sphere of influence of the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion. To avoid pursuit, he must be hiding his appearance."
"I wonder if he has the means to change his form," A Xiang said while flying.
Qin Hanchu pondered and said, "Perhaps we can change our strategy?"
"What do you mean?" Dragon Lord asked.
Qin Hanchu replied, "Think ahead of him, instead of chasing him from behind."
Patriarch Baili mused, "We need to think from his perspective and then deduce what he is most likely to do."
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Yes, that's exactly it."
"He must really want to leave the territory of the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion now, but the city is under a city-wide manhunt, so he cannot leave through the teleportation array."
"It's a two-year journey from here to the nearest Crimson Demon Immortal Pavilion."
"It's very dangerous for him to cross it alone."
"To be temporarily safe, he must find someone who can shelter him."
"Within the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion, there is a force called the Shadow Pavilion."
"This force actively seeks out people who are wanted by the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion and then recruits them as their members," A Xiang said thoughtfully.
"Since this force can exist within the territory of the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion, it shows they must possess methods of disguise."
"If Zhou Chongshan has already accepted their invitation, then we can go back and abandon this mission," Dragon Lord said.
"None of us have found him, so it's not easy for the people from the Shadow Pavilion to find him either."
"Zhou Chongshan must really want the people from the Shadow Pavilion to find him, so he should be causing some commotion."
"Let's wander around first and then wait for the mission hall to release the latest trace."
For an Immortal King to hide, even an Immortal Saint would have difficulty finding them quickly.
Unless Immortal God powerhouses skilled in tracking were deployed, it would be easy to locate Zhou Chongshan's position.
However, Immortal God powerhouses would not go to such lengths for an Immortal King.
For the next period, Qin Hanchu and the other three wandered around aimlessly, waiting for the latest reports from the mission hall.
One day, Patriarch Baili suddenly frowned, "Why are there so many people? Could there be some treasure?"
"Shall we go take a look?" Dragon Lord asked.
A Xiang said, "Could this be the Tomb of the Cold Emperor that Zhou You mentioned?"
"Shall we go take a look?" Dragon Lord asked again.
"Zhou Chongshan seems to have the Xuanbing law, could he be hiding here?"
Upon hearing Qin Hanchu's words, Patriarch Baili said, "Let's go and see."
Half an hour later, the four landed on the mountaintop.
At this moment, there were more than four hundred Immortal Kings gathered on the mountaintop.
These people were in groups, and each group maintained a certain distance from the others.
Even with over four hundred people present, the scene was eerily silent.
Judging from their expressions, everyone was communicating through secret transmissions.
"Legion Commander!"
Just then, six people walked over and saluted A Xiang.
"Are you from the Third Legion?"
Although the Immortal Pavilion War had ended, the people from the Third Legion still held A Xiang in high regard.
"Yes, we were in the Third Legion." The leading captain smiled.
