Chapter 1451 Seven-Colored Fairy Light
Jiang Han's eyes flickered slightly, and he took the lead, saying, "Let's go take a look."
Those who arrived before everyone else and were able to break through the barrier to enter the palace must be none other than Lord Su and his two companions, who also possess the mark of the Demon King.
But what kind of magical treasure could have caused them to abandon their friendship and fight in public?
Seeing him move, everyone quickly followed. Soon they passed through the painted palace path, turned a corner, and saw two figures fighting each other.
One person held a magical treasure, surrounded by waves and a giant blue whale breathing water. The vast laws of water permeated the entire area, turning the whole hall into a watery realm. This person was none other than the Lord of Nandong City, one of the three city lords.
The person who fought him was not one of the other two city lords, but a golden-armored centipede that was a hundred feet tall.
The golden-armored centipede possessed an astonishing aura, even surpassing the demon kings of the outside world.
Besides its ferocious maw and countless sharp centipedes, its entire body gleamed with a bright golden luster, and each time it made a move, it could unleash the laws of metal to transform into various weapons that whistled down.
Those weapons of law may seem ordinary, but their power is astonishing. Each attack can tear apart the water waves and make the protective barrier thud loudly, forcing Nan Dong to only be able to defend passively.
This demon, relying solely on its magic, firmly suppressed Nan Dong, who possessed a celestial treasure. It was clear that Nan Dong would soon be defeated, demonstrating its immense strength, far surpassing that of the demon kings outside.
It is only half a step behind that ancient dragon emperor.
"It's actually the Southern Cave Immortal!"
A low shout came from behind, startling Qin Yu. He hurriedly raised his hand, releasing ripples to block and shatter the sound, and gave the five people a warning glance:
"Shut up if you don't want to die!"
After saying that, spiritual light surged in his palm, condensing into a platinum rune, which he used to create an array to conceal everyone's figures.
The person who spoke did not dare to argue back after being reprimanded; he simply lowered his head and exchanged a silent glance with the other four people.
None of the five spoke, but they instantly understood each other's meaning, their eyes flashing, and they quickly reached an agreement.
Currently, they are the weakest of the five, making them easy targets for anyone to bully.
If we don't unite to resist others, we might not even get a sip of soup in the end, and we might even be used as cannon fodder to die in vain.
They originally intended to make some noise to draw the attention of Master Nandong, thereby creating a situation of restraint between them and the three others.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yu saw through it all.
Now, we have no choice but to find another way to break this deadlock...
Seeing this, Lin Can felt a pang of regret.
If he could really attract the Southern Cave Immortal to accompany him, it would be an opportunity for him.
"No wonder Master Nandong had such a hard time fighting it. This golden-armored centipede is actually at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and its bloodline is extraordinary, with astonishing power."
Even without any celestial treasures, his strength was comparable to, or even surpassed, that of a demon king.
Qin Yu spoke without keeping his voice down, both as an explanation and as a warning to the other five.
If even the True Man of the Southern Cave couldn't handle this demon, then anyone else going there would only be throwing their lives away.
After saying that, he secretly sized up Jiang Han, and seeing that the other party had no intention of making a move, he swallowed his words.
With Senior Jiang's strength, he was naturally not afraid of these people joining forces with True Person Nandong. Even with the addition of this unknown golden-armored centipede, Senior Jiang was not afraid in the slightest.
However, Master Nandong is one of the strongest cultivators in the entire Immortal Palace. If he could save some effort and reap the benefits, that would indeed be excellent.
A step back, Lin Can's eyes gleamed with a faint white light as he looked around the hall, finally pointing to a spot with delight and saying, "Found it."
"The reason why Master Nandong fought with this golden-armored centipede must be for that ball of seven-colored spiritual light."
Following the direction he pointed, the group finally spotted a floating, motionless ball of seven-colored light at the far end of the hall.
The spiritual light was clearly a dazzling seven-colored radiance, but in this luxurious hall, it was somewhat inconspicuous and could not be touched by divine sense. If one did not look closely, it would be easy to overlook it.
But once you actually see that ball of light, it's as if it's been imprinted in your mind. Whether you look at it or not, it keeps flashing before your eyes, and you can no longer ignore it.
"It must be a celestial treasure!" Qin Yu's eyes flashed as he murmured, "Right now, that demonic beast is being held back by True Person Nan Dong. Why don't you take this opportunity, Fellow Daoist Lin, to retrieve it and present it to the senior?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin!"
Lin Can's expression darkened, and his red robe fluttered even without wind: "My strength is too weak. Even if I try my best to hide, I cannot secretly take the treasure under the noses of those two."
As he spoke, he looked Qin Yu up and down, and suddenly laughed, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you are quite seriously injured now, and your aura is weak. As long as you hide yourself a little, you can be as lifeless as a dead object and will definitely not be discovered by those two."
According to what he said, if they manipulated a dead person to steal it, wouldn't that be even more foolproof?
Qin Yu curled his lips, too lazy to pay attention to this idiot. Seeing that Senior Jiang had no intention of making a move, he simply stood there obediently and began to watch the battle.
He came here to benefit from his senior's influence. If his senior is happy and rewards him with something, he will be extremely grateful. If his senior doesn't reward him, he can only watch helplessly.
As for asking him to seize the treasure, that's absolutely out of the question.
Let alone his current serious injuries, even if he were at his peak, he would be no match for that monster.
"..."
Although the Yuan energy fluctuated and the air waves surged, and Master Nandong was always at a disadvantage, both sides maintained a steady aura, clearly indicating that they were holding back and not using their full strength.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, the golden-armored centipede changed its aura, took a step back, opened its mouth, and released a golden crescent moon that floated up.
Under the moonlight, its thousand legs suddenly shone with golden light, instantly condensing into a thousand magical treasures. These treasures, gleaming with golden light, were raised high and launched towards the South Cave.
A thousand magical treasures were unleashed simultaneously, and the law of metal instantly overwhelmed the waves, spreading to every corner of the arena. Countless waves were torn apart by the golden light and could only retreat back into the South Cave in a sorry state.
Such power terrified Nan Dong, who turned pale and fled without even thinking of resisting, stirring up waves.
As luck would have it, the direction he fled from was exactly where the group was hiding.
"not good!"
Lin Can cried out in surprise and hurriedly retreated.
The others reacted even faster, and almost the instant the anomaly occurred, they quickly concealed their presence and retreated along the wall.
The human and the demon were too fast; they couldn't escape now, so they could only retreat and hide, hoping to slip through unnoticed.
The five people plus Lin Can all reacted extremely quickly, and in an instant they had retreated beyond the corner and concealed their figures.
The way he looked was as if he had been prepared for this all along.
Qin Yu's gaze sharpened, and he coldly swept his eyes over the six people, his anger clearly evident in his eyes.
Senior Jiang's willingness to take them along is an immense favor, yet these five dared to harbor ulterior motives, deliberately releasing a trace of their aura to be discovered by the demon. They are truly audacious and courting death.
