Chapter 1182 No One Dare to Act Rashly
At this moment, seeing Yunxi appear here, Murong Xiao immediately thought that Lu Chen might be nearby.
He secretly decided in his heart that he must capture Lu Chen this time.
After all, the secret of the Chaos Tree is of vital importance to him and cannot be lost.
Thinking of this, he quickly sent a message to a confidant beside him, ordering him to take immediate action to capture Yunxi and the other person.
This middle-aged confidant, named Gui Qi, has followed Murong Xiao for many years and was promoted by Murong Xiao himself, so he has a very high level of trust.
After receiving the instructions, Gui Qi immediately used the teleportation technique and appeared next to Yunxi and Yan Feiyu in the blink of an eye.
When the two saw this, they were shocked and realized that the opponent's strength was far beyond their imagination.
They did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately each took out their own magic weapon to prepare for the battle.
An ancient bronze mirror appeared in Yunxi's hand, with bursts of light shining on the mirror surface; Yan Feiyu tightly grasped his long sword, and the sword body flashed with a cold light.
However, Gui Qi didn't give them any chance at all.
Without saying a word, he simply raised his hand and waved it. A terrifying immortal energy force instantly gushed out, blasting Yunxi and Yan Feiyu away.
The two men flew backwards several feet and crashed heavily into the ruins, blood gushing out of their mouths, and they were completely unable to fight back.
At the same time, Gongsun Mao, Zhuge Jin and others also noticed the unusual movements here.
Gongsun Mao frowned slightly. He knew his junior fellow apprentice's character very well. He would never send his men to attack without any reason. There must be a deeper meaning behind it.
So, he smiled and asked, "Junior brother, why are you doing this? Those two are just small figures in the Golden Immortal Realm."
At this time, Zhuge Jin looked at Murong Xiao with deep eyes and asked curiously:
"Yes, why did Elder Murong suddenly get angry? And he even implicated two innocent people."
At this moment, representatives from other forces also looked at Murong Xiao in confusion after hearing what he said.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Murong Xiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He realized that because he hated Lu Chen, he was a little impatient and ignored the presence of everyone.
He knew very well that if he did not give a reasonable explanation, he would probably get into endless trouble.
So he pretended to be angry and said:
"Brother, you don't know that this person is called Yunxi. She is a disciple of the Tianji Pavilion in the Central Thirty-three Heavens. Her master has a grudge against me, so I want to capture her to prevent future troubles."
Murong Xiao said this not only to Gongsun Mao, but also to others.
When everyone heard this, most people felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but in their eyes, Murong Xiao's image became that of a bad cultivator with despicable means.
But there are also some people who remain skeptical and feel that there is something else going on.
As for Yunxi, after she and Yan Feiyu were knocked away, they barely stood up, their eyes full of fear, "Senior Yan, this person is a strong man from the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. This is bad."
She knew that with such a huge gap in strength, they had almost no chance of winning.
Yan Feiyu also felt unprecedented pressure, but he quickly calmed down and shouted to Yunxi: "Miss Yunxi, you go first! I will find a way to hold him back!"
As he spoke, he ignored his injuries and forcibly drew up the immortal energy in his body, trying to buy time for Yunxi to escape.
"Want to escape? None of you can leave here today." Upon hearing this, Gui Qi looked at the two of them with contempt and said in a cold tone.
When Yunxi and Yan Feiyu heard this, they immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. At first, she didn't know that they and Yan Feiyu would be attacked.
But when she recalled that Ghost Seven seemed to have appeared from Murong Xiao's side, she immediately figured out the key, and then she mobilized her immortal energy and shouted angrily:
"Murong Xiao, you despicable villain, why did you send people to deal with me? My master spent his life to help you. Is this how you repay your benefactor?"
With the blessing of immortal energy, Yunxi's voice continued to echo in the air, allowing everyone present to hear it clearly.
After hearing this, everyone looked at Murong Xiao with strange eyes.
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, with only Yunxi's firm and angry voice floating in the air.
Even Gui Qi, who was about to take action, was stunned by Yunxi's shout.
He didn't expect that someone would dare to insult His Majesty in public, and for a moment he didn't take any direct action.
At this moment, Murong Xiao's face was extremely gloomy. His hands were clenched into fists, his joints were white, and veins were bulging. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his inner anger.
Then, he stared at Yunxi with a look full of hatred, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
It has to be said that Yunxi has indeed grown a lot in the past few years following Lu Chen. If it were in the past, she would never have dared to face a strong man like Murong Xiao so boldly.
But now, her words were like a sharp sword, pointing directly to the deepest part of Murong Xiao's heart.
At this time, Gui Qi came back to his senses and apparently received Murong Xiao's telepathic message, so he attacked again, with terrifying power condensed in his palm, and was about to attack Yunxi and Yan Feiyu.
The two knew they were powerless to resist and smiled with relief on their faces, as if they had already accepted their fate.
However, at this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them - it was Lu Chen.
After "Yuan Feng" turned into a human form again, in addition to expressing gratitude to Lu Chen, he also chatted with the three of them for a while.
I didn't expect that just a short delay would almost lead to a disaster.
Fortunately, "Yuan Feng" sensed the arrival of dozens of powerful men, and under the leadership of "Yuan Feng", they directly left the cave, the mysterious sealed space.
However, as soon as Lu Chen and others appeared, they immediately saw Yunxi and Yan Feiyu being attacked.
Lu Chen appeared like a god descending from the sky and instantly stood in front of Yunxi and Yan Feiyu.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Then, his eyes became stern, and the aura around him suddenly rose. The space in his domain was like an awakened prehistoric beast, instantly locking onto Ghost Seven.
That space was like an invisible cage, emitting a terrifying pressure that trapped Gui Qi inside and left him nowhere to escape.
Then, the purple flame of the stone fire seemed to have heard the call and gushed out from Lu Chen's palm.
The purple flame was like a nimble dragon, carrying with it terrifying temperature and powerful destructive force. In the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped Ghost Seven.
Gui Qi was wrapped in purple flames and instinctively felt a strong sense of fear.
His heart tightened and without thinking, he wanted to use teleportation to escape from this horrific sea of fire.
However, a terrifying aura was like an invisible mountain, suppressing him and making him unable to move.
His body seemed to be trapped in place, every inch of his muscles was resisting the pressure of this momentum, and even the immortal energy needed for teleportation was unable to circulate.
As the purple flames continued to burn, Gui Qi struggled painfully in the sea of fire.
His body was gradually corroded by the high temperature, his skin began to smoke and burn, and emitted a pungent smell.
But no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the entanglement of Zi Yan.
In the end, Ghost Seven was turned into ashes and dissipated into the air under the ruthless devouring of the purple flame.
Although this scene happened too quickly, with the cultivation level of Murong Xiao, Hua Wanjiang, Murong Qiuyue, Mo Youdao and others, how could they not stop it?
However, none of them acted rashly, and they all looked at Lu Chen with serious expressions...
