The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree vibrated as the Painted Halberd and Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottle spoke, its radiating light flickering precariously.
Now looking at the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue beneath the artifact, it finally recognized the two.
"Truly unlucky, to run into these two of all people!"
These two were Xu Fang's loyal followers. If anything were to happen to them, Xu Fang and the Measuring Heaven Ruler would hunt down Patriarch Zhunti and Patriarch Jieyin to the ends of the earth.
As the artifact involved, how could the Measuring Heaven Ruler let them off? It would surely instigate Xu Fang to destroy them, turning them into dust!
"Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, don't boost others' morale and dampen your own!"
Seeing the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree's pressure held back, the Jieyin Exquisite Lotus Lamp immediately said.
"Even if these two little fellows are Xu Fang's followers, just as our masters said, kill them and flee, what is there to fear!"
"Fear what! Zhunti and Jieyin are foolish, must you be foolish too?"
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree cursed, filled with disappointment.
"We are all in the chat group now. It was hard for the Measuring Heaven Ruler to find us. It came following the coordinates."
"You're still thinking of fleeing, where do you think you can flee to!"
"Ah? This..."
Scolded by the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, the Jieyin Exquisite Lotus Lamp remembered that not long ago the chat group had gained its coordinate positioning function, allowing artifacts to see each other's locations.
Therefore, no matter how well Patriarch Jieyin and Patriarch Zhunti planned, they could not escape the pursuit of Xu Fang's faction of artifacts.
"What should we do!"
The Jieyin Exquisite Lotus Lamp was horrified. If they really killed the two little fellows before them, they would face more than just Patriarch Jieyin and Patriarch Zhunti rolling around!
"Calm down, let me think. Damn it, why is Zhunti so impatient!"
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was helpless. While it was in a dilemma, Zhunti was continuously pouring spiritual power to urge it on.
Patriarch Zhunti naturally wanted to quickly kill the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue, then leave this place and escape.
Seeing the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree suspended in the air without unleashing its power, he hurried to exert force.
Seeing this situation, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree had no choice but to release its power and press down.
"You two, stall them with me for now. I'll go find your boss to discuss it."
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree did not want to perish with Patriarch Zhunti and Patriarch Jieyin. Under duress, it unleashed its pressure and shouted to the Painted Halberd and Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottle.
The Painted Halberd and Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottle were overjoyed to hear this, knowing that the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was going to the so-called chat group to ask the Ruler Boss for help.
"Oh, I forgot we are also in the chat group. We should ask Ruler Boss for help."
"Indeed, indeed. Let's go take a look too."
The Painted Halberd and Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottle communicated. Back then, Xu Fang had pulled them into the group outside Zixiao Palace.
However, according to Ruler Boss, their rank was too low to be exposed, so they had always been observers, lurking in the background.
Now that their lives were at stake, they naturally couldn't care about that anymore and immediately opened the chat group.
[Painted Halberd: Ruler Boss, save us! The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Jieyin Exquisite Lotus Lamp have stopped us and want to kill Peng and Little Xue!]
[Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottle: Yes, we are currently resisting with all our might. Please hurry and rescue us, it's extremely urgent!]
[Measuring Heaven Ruler: How long has it been since you left, and you've already been targeted? Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, you truly don't want to be in the chat group anymore!]
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: What does this have to do with me? Your guy humiliated Zhunti and Jieyin at Buzhou Mountain so badly, do you really think they have no temper!]
[Phoenix Staff: Regardless, you dare to make a move against the Second Prince of my Phoenix Clan, are you declaring war on my Phoenix Clan?]
[Measuring Heaven Ruler: Exactly. I don't care about their grievances. These Painted Halberds and Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottles are under my protection. If anything happens, I will not let you go even if you escape to the ends of the earth!]
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: Alright, alright, I got it. Stop your nonsense and quickly call your guy over. Zhunti is urging me with spiritual power again!]
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was extremely aggrieved. As soon as it came online, it was scolded. Indeed, the Measuring Heaven Ruler was not to be trifled with.
Now, under the urging of Patriarch Zhunti and Patriarch Jieyin, it had no choice but to try its best to restrain itself along with the Jieyin Exquisite Lotus Lamp, waiting for the Measuring Heaven Ruler to arrive.
As for the Measuring Heaven Ruler and the Phoenix Staff, upon receiving this news, they immediately transmitted a message to Xu Fang.
"Little Xu, something's wrong. Peng and Little Xue have been targeted by those two from the West!"
"Hurry, the Painted Halberd and Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottle are too weak, they can't hold on!"
Xu Fang looked at the messages in the chat group and listened to their words, his heart in a turmoil, filled with anxiety.
"Got it, I'm coming!"
Xu Fang responded mentally, lamenting inwardly. How could they run into this again!
Although the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was cooperating and acting, Patriarch Zhunti and Patriarch Jieyin had murderous intent and were determined to kill the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue.
At this distance, even if he and Kong Xuan accelerated with all their might, he didn't know if they would make it in time.
Xu Fang felt powerless. Even though he knew they were in danger, he couldn't reach them immediately. He could only silently pray that they could hold on.
However, things in the world are always unsatisfactory. Soon, the chat group buzzed again, with the cries of the Painted Halberd and Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottle.
[Painted Halberd: Ruler Boss, have you arrived? We really can't hold on anymore!]
[Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottle: Yes, if you don't come soon, you can only collect our corpses!]
[Measuring Heaven Ruler: On our way, on our way! Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, are you really going to fight?]
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: What can I do? That Zhunti is blinded by hatred. I am just a magical artifact in his hand. I have already tried my best to restrain myself!]
[Jieyin Exquisite Lamp: Yes, I am at the scene and can testify. Neither I nor Jieyin made a move, and they couldn't hold on. What can we do!]
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Jieyin Exquisite Lotus Lamp were also helpless. Of course, they didn't want to provoke the Measuring Heaven Ruler and the other artifacts.
However, under their masters' instigation, they were forced to unleash their power.
At this moment, even though the Golden-Winged Great Peng broke through to the mid-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal under such pressure, he was still unable to resist Patriarch Zhunti.
Although the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree did not, as Patriarch Zhunti had expected, take away the Painted Halberd and Yin-Yang Two Energies Bottle, if this trend continued, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue were doomed to die!
Xu Fang was also extremely anxious. Was he only going to kill these two afterwards to pay respects to the souls of Peng and Little Xue in heaven?
Just as Xu Fang was at his wit's end, the chat group became active, and many artifacts began to show themselves.
