505: Six Immortals

"Mo Li, I asked you to come out to do a task, I didn't expect you to lose your disciple in the process."

"Why is your expression so grim? Come on, give us a smile."

"It's just a dead disciple. Who among us doesn't have several? Why do you look like you've lost a son?"

"We are all in the Immortal Law Realm. Even if you lost a son, wouldn't you be able to have as many as you want in the future?"

Mo Li did not respond to the taunts of the fellow Immortal Law Realm practitioners accompanying him.

They naturally did not know that Tang Xin was truly Mo Li's son, and his only son at that.

Originally, Mo Li's purpose in taking Tang Xin to the Zhengyuan Sect was just to provoke them and, incidentally, give Tang Xin some practice.

He had never imagined that the opposing Sect Master, Yuan Chen, would actually take action.

Had he known earlier, Mo Li would never have been so arrogant.

The leader, an Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation practitioner, said, "Mo Li, the intelligence you gathered this time is excellent; it is very helpful to our operation."

"Although you lost a disciple because of this, the sect will provide additional compensation and rewards."

Regarding the additional compensation mentioned by this Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation practitioner, Mo Li was actually dismissive.

A mere Heavenly Dominion Realm Peak had died; even if it was his disciple, how much could the compensation really amount to?

At least for an Immortal Law Realm practitioner like Mo Li, the compensation issued wouldn't be worth much.

However, he still had to respond respectfully and gratefully, because the person speaking was an Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation practitioner.

"Thank you for your consideration, Lord Yuan. Mo Li is deeply grateful!"

"Hmm." Yuan Zhi nodded with satisfaction.

Just as Mo Li had thought, the death of a Heavenly Dominion Realm disciple could not yield much in terms of compensation for an Immortal Law Realm practitioner, even if it were maximized.

Therefore, in Yuan Zhi's view, Mo Li's current demeanor looked more like he was asking for credit.

Using the death of a Heavenly Dominion Realm practitioner to ask for this and that was clearly impossible.

Apart from what he was originally entitled to, adding anything more was already the limit.

It was even possible that Mo Li had intentionally sent his disciple to his death, putting on a weak and pitiful act.

Tang Xin was already dead, dead without even a scrap left behind; no one could prove that Tang Xin was Mo Li's son.

Bringing it up now would undoubtedly increase that suspicion.

Therefore, regarding Mo Li's behavior, Yuan Zhi gave him a clear response.

"The sect will not forget any of your contributions, and there will certainly be compensation."

Having obtained Yuan Zhi's promise, Mo Li could no longer make a big deal out of this in the future.

There were a total of six Immortal Law Realm practitioners who came from the Kongming Domain.

These people, some from the Qingtian Sect and others not, came from various forces in the Kongming Domain.

After receiving intelligence from the moles planted in the Xichen Domain, they realized that the Xichen Domain, having lost two major forces, must be significantly weakened.

Perhaps, this could become an opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation.

The ability to plant moles was sufficient proof that the Kongming Domain had long coveted the Xichen Domain.

Now that a small opportunity had appeared, they would not let it slip by.

Thus, they joined forces and sent Mo Li to test the Xichen Domain, especially its strongest sect, the Zhengyuan Sect.

The Zhengyuan Sect was the last stop; other sects had already been tested before this.

This had given Mo Li some confidence, causing him to be so arrogant when facing the Zhengyuan Sect.

Consequently, his son Tang Xin met a tragic end, dying without even a scrap left.

Mo Li regretted this immensely, as his own mistake had caused his son's death.

After the incident, he rushed back to the Kongming Domain and first reported the relevant intelligence to his own sect.

The sect then organized and censored the intelligence before sharing it with other forces in the domain.

All the forces unanimously declared that the Zhengyuan Sect was their greatest obstacle, and the key lay in that Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation practitioner, Chang Qi.

Thus, after several years of discussion, a decision was made.

Led by that Qingtian Sect Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation practitioner, Yuan Zhi, they led a group of Immortal Law Realm practitioners sent by other sects.

Because Mo Li had personally come to scout, he was brought along this time as well.

This trip was less of a test; if there was an opportunity to wipe out the opponent, they would not let it pass.

There was actually another reason why they chose this direction to enter the Xichen Domain.

The alien races in the Xichen Domain seemed to have the intention of negotiating cooperation with them.

Of course, it wasn't that those alien races came to them; it was the people from the Kongming Domain who sought them out.

After all, in the Xichen Domain, which force was most likely to be turned, it naturally had to be the alien races.

No one believed that those alien races had never thought of rising up; they were probably thinking about it every single moment.

Therefore, as soon as they received the intention of cooperation from the Kongming Domain, they didn't even bother to play hard to get, and directly agreed to talk.

The Qingtian Sect side also sent out information that if the negotiators arrived, they would naturally notify them.

The two sides did not agree on a time and place in advance; after all, there was no basis of trust, and both were afraid of being double-crossed.

In comparison, a location decided on the spot was undoubtedly safer.

...

Chen De, of course, would not go to the agreed-upon location, because having mastered their whereabouts, he intended to lie in ambush halfway.

Five Immortal Law Realm practitioners, and one of them was an Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation practitioner.

In Chen De's eyes, they were not so-called Immortal Law Realm practitioners, nor were they enemies.

They were Attribute Points, living, jumping, breathing Attribute Points.

Very soon, the six immortals approached the area where Chen De was lying in ambush.

At this moment, Chen De heard six consecutive system prompts, corresponding to the six immortals from the Kongming Domain.

The five Immortal Law Realm First Transformation practitioners went without saying; they were purely there to deliver packages.

Looking solely at that Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation practitioner, the system map showed that he was the type that could be dealt with.

Since he could be dealt with, Chen De couldn't help but feel much more relieved, and could now strike cautiously yet boldly.

The five Kongming Domain Immortal Law Realm martial artists, led by Yuan Zhi, restrained all their auras and moved silently through the starry sky.

During the movement, there were no fluctuations, and no light was emitted.

Therefore, to the naked eye, they were transparent, and their figures could not be seen.

But being at the same Immortal Law Realm level, there were many angles of detection, not to mention that Chen De also had the system map.

About to strike, Chen De held his breath and focused, getting ready.

He also lowered his own sense of presence to the minimum, as if merging into the surrounding countless cold stardust.

Gradually, gradually, gradually...

The six immortals gradually stepped into the area most suitable for Chen De to strike, and Chen De's eyes turned slightly red.

Just at this moment!

Chen De suddenly struck. This time, his primary target for attack was not anyone else, but that Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation practitioner, Yuan Zhi.

He did not choose the same fighting style as he did at the North Domain Star Palace, but instead did the complete opposite.

The reason was that the current Chen De was far, far stronger than when he fought Han Yan last time.

The Slaughter Law Profundity, which could be called late-stage Immortal Law Realm, had such powerful might that it directly left Yuan Zhi struggling to cope.

He had never imagined that his group would be ambushed.

And what he least expected was that the opponent's comprehension of the Rhyme of Law was actually so high.
