214: Ji Lianbo's plot

“So the Ji Lian Family also participated!”

This loud roar shocked the entire scene.

“Hmph! Uncle Ji Lian, you dog, how dare you covet my Sect’s intentions? Die!”

Wu Luo’s brows furrowed in anger. He stepped towards Uncle Ji Lian, wielding his Emperor’s might.

“Wu Luo, you brute, I don’t want to fight you. This matter is my fault, and from now on, I will no longer covet your Ancient Martial Emperor Sect.”

Seeing this, Uncle Ji Lian’s expression changed, and he quickly retreated.

But as fast as he retreated, Wu Luo pursued even faster, quickly catching up to him, and the two began to fight.

Although Wu Luo held the upper hand with his Emperor Weapon, Uncle Ji Lian, as a three-step Quasi-Emperor, wielding an eighth-grade Quasi-Emperor Staff, could barely cope with Wu Luo’s attacks.

“Retreat!”

After grasping the situation below, Saint Ming and the other two exchanged glances and decided to withdraw.

So, the three of them repelled Wu Xingqiong and the others, gathered their high-ranking subordinates, and tried to flee!

With their Cultivation, they could have severely wounded Wu Xingqiong and the others, but fearing Wu Luo’s rage, they held back their power.

They were afraid. In a short time, they had already decided that after taking their elite members, they would leave the Wuqian Territory.

“Saint Ming, you deserve to die!”

“Do you think you can escape from my grasp?”

Seeing this, Uncle Ji Lian’s veins bulged on his face, which was contorted with fury.

“Raging Torrent Roar!”

He gritted his teeth, took out a Talisman emanating a terrifying aura, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he resolutely threw it towards Wu Luo. As it approached Wu Luo, the Talisman exploded directly, transforming into a sealing force that enveloped Wu Luo.

Although it could only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it was enough.

“Heavenly Dao is ruthless, Life-Draining Three Talents!”

“Reverse!”

Uncle Ji Lian formed hand seals, and gray runes appeared out of thin air.

“Ah!!!”

Jian Chuan, who was about to escape into the Void Realm, suddenly fell out of it. A Formation Plate, wrapped in gray runes, shot out from his body.

The original Formation Flag had already merged into his body. His entire being was covered in gray runes, and he convulsed continuously. His entire Cultivation was surging towards the Formation Flag within his body.

Moreover, at this moment, he couldn’t mobilize his sacred power or Origin, and could only watch his power being devoured little by little.

“What is this thing?!”

“Damn it! Uncle Ji Lian, you schemed against us!”

“Ah!!!”

Two exclamations of shock and anger rang out simultaneously. At the same time, a group of Martial Artists fell from the Void Realm in two other directions.

Saint Ming and the other person suffered the exact same fate as Jian Chuan.

“Old Ancestor!”

Ming Jue and the others looked panicked and tried to cast spells to rescue them, but they couldn’t. Even Ming Jue, who was controlling the Yin Corpse to deal with Uncle Ji Lian, was trapped by a Talisman thrown by the opponent.

Moreover, Wu Xingqiong and the others had caught up, and a great battle erupted between the two sides.

“Blame yourselves for being too greedy, for trying to take my treasure!”

“I forgot to tell you, this Formation is not called the Guarding Three Talents Formation, but the Life-Draining Three Talents Formation!”

“Life-Draining, Life-Draining! It is to drain your vitality for my use!”

Uncle Ji Lian laughed loudly. How could his plan be limited to just the Wuqian Territory?

He was not far from becoming a four-step Quasi-Emperor. As long as he absorbed the essence of the three, he could step into the four-step Quasi-Emperor realm.

“Damn it, you made a Dao Vow. Are you going to break your vow? Aren’t you afraid you won’t advance in this life?”

Saint Ming said with a resentful expression.

“I did make a Dao Vow, but I never said I wouldn’t kill you! The three Emperor Continents are the three Holy Lands, but it never said that the controllers are the three of you!” Uncle Ji Lian said with a cold sneer.

“I curse you to die a horrible death!”

Saint Ming’s eyes were bloodshot. After Cultivating for more than three hundred epochs, he had schemed against countless people, only to be schemed against and killed in the end. He still had other means, but now he couldn’t use them. He was unwilling!

“You have Cultivated for hundreds of epochs, yet you are still stuck at the one-step Quasi-Emperor realm. Your Aptitude in this life has reached its limit!”

“To sacrifice yourselves for my Dao, this is your honor. If I ascend to the Great Dao someday, you will also have a share in the glory!”

Uncle Ji Lian laughed triumphantly.

“Pfft!”

Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

Uncle Ji Lian, who was laughing triumphantly, was suddenly pierced through the chest from behind by a large hand, and a beating heart was pulled out.

The spell he was controlling was also interrupted at this moment.

Without Uncle Ji Lian’s control, the vitality and Cultivation that Saint Ming and the other two had lost to the Formation Flag quickly recovered.

“Who are you?!”

Uncle Ji Lian roared in anger, his aura exploding!

At their level, let alone having their heart crushed, even if their Physical Body was destroyed, they could instantly re-condense it, unless the consciousness of their sacred soul was erased.

The person who attacked had already disappeared from behind him and appeared not far away, holding Uncle Ji Lian’s beating heart.

However, as Uncle Ji Lian’s heart re-formed in his chest, the heart in the attacker’s hand rapidly withered, eventually turning into specks of light and dissipating.

The attacker was none other than A Hui. He didn’t care about the disappearance of the heart in his hand.

“Who are you? I have no grievances or grudges with you, why did you attack me?!”

Uncle Ji Lian’s face was extremely grim. He was about to reap the fruits of victory, but he was interrupted. This feeling was simply unbearable.

“Didn’t you hide in the dark, just waiting for me to make a move?”

A Hui’s rough face showed a hint of triumph.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Ji Lian’s pupils constricted, because he had been thinking about escaping and fighting with Wu Luo, which made him forget one of his original intentions.

“Run!”

As soon as Saint Ming and the other two recovered their Cultivation, they didn’t hesitate at all and tried to tear open space to leave this place!

“Boom!”

A terrifying Emperor’s might swept out, and the three were instantly suppressed, unable to move.

A glazed bowl floated above them, emitting waves of Emperor’s might, and an invisible sealing force suppressed them within it.

“Emperor Weapon!”

Jian Chuan exclaimed, his face instantly turning ashen. Today’s events had been full of twists and turns, experiencing life and death several times. First despair, then hope, and finally despair again, making this Quasi-Emperor’s mood extremely terrible.

“Since you’ve come, why leave?”

A Hui asked with a smile.

These were three Quasi-Emperors. The last time he acted, Xu Qing gave him an Emperor Weapon. This time, he first assembled three million Heavenly Army and then brought back three Quasi-Emperors. How could the reward be small?

Perhaps he had a chance to advance further. Thinking of this, he was very happy inside.

When Uncle Ji Lian saw the Emperor Weapon, his heart was filled with dread.

Coming from an Emperor Sect, he recognized the power of this Emperor Weapon at a glance. It was actually an Emperor Weapon with abundant Emperor’s essence.

“Abundant Emperor’s essence” referred to newly born Emperor Weapons, or Emperor Weapons nurtured by a Great Emperor.

Weapons needed to be nurtured, even Emperor Weapons. If they were not nurtured for too long, the Emperor’s essence contained within them would gradually diminish.

Take their Family’s Emperor Weapon, for example. Since the Great Emperor Old Ancestor left, the remaining Emperor Weapon, not having been nurtured by the Great Emperor, lost a fraction of its Emperor’s essence with each use as time passed.

Once the Emperor’s essence was completely depleted, the Emperor Weapon, though still an Emperor Weapon in name, was no longer truly an Emperor Weapon.

Because although it had the material of an Emperor Weapon, without the support of the Emperor’s essence, it was merely a Sharp Weapon more formidable than a ninth-grade Quasi-Emperor Weapon.

Such Emperor Weapons were also called Half-step Emperor Weapons. As long as they received the nurturing of a Great Emperor, they could become Emperor Weapons again!

However, even without a Great Emperor, various Emperor Sects had methods to extend the use of Emperor Weapons. Their coveting of the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect was precisely for this reason.

Because the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect had a Weapon Marrow Pool, which the Ancient Martial Great Emperor obtained from outside the heavens. Although it had strict restrictions, it could nurture Emperor Weapons.

The Ancient Martial Emperor Sect had overcome many difficulties with its help.

And he was very certain about the Emperor Weapon before him: either the man had a Great Emperor behind him, or this Emperor Weapon had been well-preserved and rarely used!

Thinking of the former, his pupils suddenly constricted!

“Your Excellency, let’s talk!” Uncle Ji Lian quickly said with a smile, “I was in the wrong first. I am willing to offer compensation for this matter. Name your price!”

Being ambushed and having his heart taken out would make anyone furious, but Uncle Ji Lian chose to yield.

“Conditions?” A Hui’s face brightened upon hearing this. “Submit to my clan!”
