Chapter 126 What? You'd rather die than submit?
Although Hongjun's cultivation level declined due to the killing of his three severed corpses by Luo Hou, he successfully arrived at the Outer Heaven by delaying them.
At this moment, Hongjun was just about to leave, using the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc as cover.
Unexpectedly, his arrival immediately attracted the attention of Qiongqi and others who were working in the Outer Heaven.
Qiongqi and the others looked at Hongjun, who had a panicked expression and seemed to be fleeing for his life, and they were at a loss for words.
Clearly, they didn't know why Hongjun looked like this.
But they were also very interested in seeing Hongjun get his comeuppance; if someone was really chasing him, they would have to lend a hand.
After all, although the great calamity of the ferocious beasts has ended, it does not mean that they can completely let go of their malice towards Hongjun and others.
After a moment's thought, Qiongqi and the others simultaneously caught a hint of cunning and amusement in each other's eyes.
Without further hesitation, he unleashed his full power and charged towards Hongjun.
At the same time, Qiongqi shouted loudly, "Who dares to trespass on our construction site?! Do you have any orders from the Daoist Master? If not, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Looking at Qiongqi and the others blocking his way, Hongjun frowned and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
But it was quickly suppressed by Hongjun.
"I have met you all. I, Hongjun, have disturbed you all due to a momentary oversight. Please forgive me."
Qiongqi and the others then pretended to suddenly realize something: "So it's you, Hongjun! What are you doing in such a hurry? Don't you know that the Daoist Master asked us to sort out the chaotic energy in the Outer Heavens? Your disturbance is making things very difficult for us..."
Hongjun forced a smile and hurriedly took out some rare and precious materials, handing them over to Qiongqi and the others.
"I recently sensed that there is something in the Outer Heavens that I have a connection with, so I came here to find it. If I have disturbed you fellow Daoists, I apologize. I wonder if you fellow Daoists could allow me to leave for the time being?"
Hongjun's appearance was somewhat pleading, which surprised Qiongqi and the others.
It seems the person chasing Hongjun is no ordinary person; he's been terrified of Hongjun.
I don't know if it's Yang Mei or Luo Hou?
As for Dao Zun, they hadn't even considered it.
With Dao Zun's cultivation level, how could Hongjun possibly have a chance to escape?
Upon realizing this, Qiongqi almost burst out laughing.
But his expression suddenly darkened, and he solemnly looked at the rare and precious materials that Hongjun had just given him, saying with a meaningful tone:
“Hongjun, it’s not that we’re trying to stop you, but isn’t your sincerity a bit lacking? After all, we’re working under the orders of the Daoist Master. Your delay has put our schedules far behind, and we don’t know when we’ll have to work overtime this time. We’re having a hard time explaining this to our subordinates…”
Upon hearing this, Hongjun's lips twitched involuntarily.
However, they still took out some rare and precious materials and gave them to Qiongqi.
This time, Hongjun took out nearly half of all his possessions.
There are hundreds of them.
Each one is extremely precious, and there are even two or three top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
It is undeniably precious.
After Qiongqi received the item, his previous solemnity vanished, replaced by enthusiasm.
"As expected of Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you are truly magnanimous. Come, come, just for Fellow Daoist Hongjun's magnanimity, I, Qiongqi, will accept you as my friend. In that case, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you don't need to look for any opportunities. Why don't you rest at my Daoist temple for a few days? Qiongqi can also catch up with Fellow Daoist Hongjun!"
Hongjun was stunned upon hearing this, and quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Fellow Daoist Qiongqi, no need, I have other matters to attend to."
Upon hearing this, Qiongqi's face immediately darkened: "Fellow Daoist Hongjun... do you look down on me, Qiongqi? Or do you look down on our ferocious beast race?"
As soon as Qiongqi finished speaking, the ferocious beasts around him unleashed their aura, pressing down on Hongjun.
It seemed as if they would take action immediately if Hongjun dared to speak recklessly.
Hongjun was completely stunned when he saw this.
Just as he was lost in thought, Rahu finally arrived.
Upon seeing this, Qiongqi shouted with great joy, "Luo Hou, it's you! If you hadn't come soon, I would have taken action for you!"
As Qiongqi's voice rang out, Hongjun's expression changed drastically.
Then he turned and ran.
But at that moment, the four swords of Luo Hou Zhuxian and the Zhuxian sword diagram rose up again, trapping Hongjun inside.
Upon seeing the familiar scene within the Zhuxian Sword Formation around him, Hongjun's face instantly turned ashen.
Luo Hou did not immediately attack Hongjun, but instead looked at Qiongqi and the others with some confusion.
"Qiongqi, why are you helping this Demon Ancestor?"
Upon hearing this, Qiongqi immediately waved his hand, "It's nothing. We're not here to help you; we're just curious who's chasing Hongjun."
At this point, Qiongqi paused, scratching his head somewhat sheepishly: "If it were you, Luo Hou, being chased today, we would still have taken action."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hou's face darkened.
He had just wanted to thank Qiongqi and the others, but it turns out Qiongqi just didn't like them because they won the Beast Tribulation.
Luo Hou then fell silent and stood outside the Zhuxian Sword Formation, manipulating it to launch an attack on Hongjun within.
Now that Hongjun has no helpers, it is absolutely impossible for him to break his Zhuxian Sword Formation.
He might as well use the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to wear down Hongjun's strength first, and then eliminate Hongjun in one fell swoop.
Now, within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Hongjun faces countless Immortal Slaughtering Sword Intents, and his appearance is nothing short of miserable.
He was already seriously injured, and even with the protection of many precious treasures, he is now in grave danger.
He knew that if things continued like this, he would surely perish.
He then began to beg for mercy.
"Luo Hou, I have lost this battle. I am willing to give you the Pangu Banner, the Heavenly Celebration Cloud, and the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc. Can you spare my life?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Hou curled his lip and said, "Even if I kill you, these three treasures will still belong to me, the Demon Ancestor! And you, Hongjun, don't forget that the karma between us hasn't dissipated yet!"
Upon hearing this, Hongjun fell silent.
After a long while, he spoke again, his voice slightly hoarse: "As long as you are willing, this old Taoist is willing to dissolve my body! In that case, the karma between us will also be resolved!"
"What? You'd rather die than submit?" Luo Hou asked coldly, his voice seemingly filled with disbelief.
Hongjun: "???"
But no matter how many times Hongjun spoke, Luo Hou never responded.
He even unleashed the full power of the Zhuxian Sword Intent within the Zhuxian Sword Formation, determined to completely annihilate Hongjun.
Upon seeing this, Hongjun hurriedly called out Hongyuan's name.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyuan! Fellow Daoist Hongyuan, save my life! Save me!!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Hou was startled and nervously looked around.
But as time went by, Hong Yuan still did not respond.
Seeing this, Luo Hou finally breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Hong Yuan had no intention of making a move.
Hongjun also knew that Hongyuan would not save him.
At this moment, he finally gave up...
