Six Realms Immortal Emperor

Lu Yikuang's words aggravated his injuries, and Xu Jingtian's heart sank as he listened.

In that case, Dongfang Sixing's situation is also very precarious. That despicable Qu Feixiong actually disregarded the bonds of brotherhood for a mere thousand-year-old Qinglingzhi mushroom, not only injuring people but also attempting to kill Lu Yikuang.

Little did they know that in the eyes of many cultivators, this spiritual herb was a treasure, incredibly precious, even more important than human life.

"So, Si Xing must have also fallen victim to his evil deeds. Qu Feixiong, you despicable man, I will kill you with my own hands!" Xu Jingtian's eyes flashed with coldness. Although Dongfang Si Xing and he hadn't gotten along very well before, he was, after all, a member of their Dongfang family, and in the past two days, he had found Dongfang Si Xing not to be particularly disliked.

Lu Yikuang comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Jingtian, Sixing might be blessed by heaven. If you're right, I'll definitely kill that brat Qu Feixiong for him."

Xu Jingtian sighed and said, "Forget it, Brother Lu, let's talk about this after we get out of here. We're still in danger, so we need to hurry up and recover." Then, Xu Jingtian briefly explained their current situation.

"Huh? Brother Jingtian, do you have some kind of grudge against these people?" Lu Yikuang was taken aback. He was too badly injured to help Xu Jingtian.

"No, not at all. I don't know them well. We'll just have to play it by ear." Xu Jingtian frowned. He really couldn't think of anyone else besides Qu Feixiong who had a grudge against him.

"Brother Jingtian, if there's any danger, just make sure you can escape. I'll hold them off even if it costs me my life," Lu Yikuang said solemnly.

Xu Jingtian felt a surge of warmth in his heart upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lu. I've already thought of a plan. If they dare to hurt anyone, I'll make sure they all die here." Meditating in this pool of water was indeed very efficient for recovery. The prayer beads on his wrist were also frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual liquid, and his dantian had already recovered to about 70-80%.

Lu Yikuang looked at Xu Jingtian, who seemed like a completely different person. This kid was getting stronger and stronger, making Lu Yikuang admire him a little.

"They're here!" Xu Jingtian said softly, looking at the torches swaying at the cave entrance.

Following Zhu's instructions, Liu Hong held a torch and guarded the cave entrance, while the remaining group slowly made their way towards the pool.

Upon hearing the leader, Senior Brother Zhu, declare that he had nowhere to escape, a murderous glint flashed in Xu Jingtian's eyes. It seemed these people were truly here to deal with him; he couldn't afford to be merciful, or he would surely die here.

"Senior Brother Zhu, look! There's someone over there!" Finally, a disciple spotted the two of them.

Under the torchlight, Xu Jingtian and Lu Yikuang were half-submerged in the pool, with only their heads showing, which looked extremely eerie.

"Surround them, don't let that kid get away!" Senior Brother Zhu ordered. He still couldn't figure out what the two were doing. As long as it wasn't a Crimson Scale or a Strange Rhinoceros, a brat like that would be easy to catch.

"Lu Yikuang!"

Lu Yikuang was considered one of the best among the outer disciples, and some disciples recognized him.

Lu Yikuang looked up and gave him a cold look, which startled the disciple, causing him to take several steps back.

"Zhu Wanli!" Xu Jingtian recognized his senior brother Zhu at a glance. So it was Zhu Wanli's voice he had heard at the cave entrance earlier; no wonder it sounded so familiar.

Xu Jingtian could guess eight or nine parts of the reason why Zhu Wanli had come here with him and brought so many disciples.

"Haha, it really is Xu Jingtian!" Zhu Wanli laughed happily. "Do you still remember what I said when we passed through the underground gate? We haven't seen each other for a year, and I've remembered it every single moment!"

As Zhu Wanli spoke, he recalled the scene of climbing the mountain that day, and his expression became extremely distorted, showing that he hated Xu Jingtian to the extreme.

"Dare to oppose me, Zhu Wanli, and I will make you die a horrible death!" These were the words Zhu Wanli spoke that day, and Xu Jingtian certainly wouldn't forget them.

"What a small world!" Xu Jingtian said with a wry smile. When he came to the wilderness for the trial, he never expected Zhu Wanli to come. This time, the other party came tail after him, clearly targeting him. It seems that Lu Yikuang will also be implicated.

Xu Jingtian looked at Lu Yikuang apologetically, his eyes filled with helplessness.

"What do you want to do?" Lu Yikuang also sensed the hostility in Zhu Wanli's words and asked coldly.

"Hmph, don't be too arrogant. You're just unlucky to have run into us today." Zhu Wanli looked at Lu Yikuang with a mocking expression. He was no ordinary person either, and he saw through the situation in no time.

Zhu Wanli knew very well who Lu Yikuang was and how much strength he possessed. Given Lu Yikuang's personality, he certainly wouldn't cower like a coward and let them surround him unless something unexpected happened.

"Hmph, my brother Xu's cultivation is low, so come at me if you dare!" Lu Yikuang's anger flared. Who was this Zhu Wanli? Just an unknown nobody, yet he didn't even give him a second glance. Normally, he wouldn't even consider this group of people a threat.

Although Lu Yikuang was furious, he could only keep his body still and immerse himself in the water due to the severity of his injuries.

Hearing Lu Yikuang say this, Xu Jingtian felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He gripped Lu Yikuang's hand tightly and secretly channeled his spiritual energy into it. Without even glancing at Zhu Wanli, he coldly said, "I'm right here. Say whatever you want, but don't interfere with our cultivation."

"You, Xu Jingtian, are still so arrogant even when you're about to die! You step forward and face me!" Zhu Wanli couldn't understand why Xu Jingtian and his companion looked so relaxed. Did they have something to rely on in the pool?

"Hmph! I don't want to hurt you. If you displease me, my magical weapon is not to be trifled with." Xu Jingtian said, raising his magical weapon. Those who were closer to him were so frightened that they quickly took several steps back.

It's quite rare to see an outer disciple with a magical artifact; only a few disciples with powerful connections within the sect can acquire one.

Xu Jingtian got this magical artifact from Lu Yikuang, which stunned them.

Lu Yikuang's eyes were closed at this moment, and he was in the critical moment of healing and recovery. The longer he could delay, the greater his chances of winning would be.

"Xu Jingtian, stop pretending. And that brat Lu Yikuang, he's obviously in cahoots with him. There are so many of us, we can't even handle the two of you. Brothers, let's all attack together and wipe them both out. I'll even ask Senior Brother Jin for credit for you." Zhu Wanli's face turned extremely ugly. He couldn't hold back any longer and urged everyone to act quickly.

He thought to himself, "There are only two of you. Two fists can't fight four hands. No matter how strong you are, you can't beat more than a dozen of us."

Zhu Wanli's words stirred everyone up, and they rubbed their hands together, gathering their magical power in preparation for a fatal blow to the two.

"Everyone's ready. I'll count to three, then we'll attack together." Senior Brother Zhu looked at the two people in the pool who were still motionless and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. It would be safer to attack together, and if there was any danger, they could share it with the others.

"one!"

"two!"

"Wait a minute!"

Before Zhu Wanli could utter the word "three," Xu Jingtian, who was in the pool, roared and stood up, silencing him completely.

"What...what are you doing?" Zhu Wanli held his personal magical artifact to his chest, constantly on guard against Xu Jingtian.

"Who is this Senior Brother Jin you're talking about?" Upon hearing his words, Xu Jingtian suddenly remembered someone. Could this matter be related to him?

"Hmph, kid, you're about to die, so I might as well tell you. Have you heard of Senior Brother Jin Chongguang? His master is a true disciple of the Brahma Sect, revered by thousands!" Zhu Wanli said smugly. Jin Chongguang's name might not be well-known, but his master was a very prestigious figure in the sect.

The fact that Senior Brother Jin's backer was actually a true disciple was something the other disciples had never heard of before. They were all excited. What did killing a few outer disciples matter? If they could curry favor with that true disciple, what more could they ask for in this life?

"Who is Jin Chongguang? Never heard of him!" Xu Jingtian's attitude was completely unexpected.

"Hmph, you're just a lowly outer disciple, so naturally you wouldn't have access to the affairs of the sect's higher-ups, and it's normal that you haven't heard of them. It was Senior Brother Jin who ordered us to take your life. I'm making sure you can find your creditors after you're dead, so don't come after us, right, brothers? Hahaha!" Seeing that the situation was settled and he could take the two men's lives at any time, Zhu Wanli no longer needed to hide anything.

He not only revealed who instigated it, but also the power they relied on, as if the true disciples were also their backers, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

"Hahaha!" The crowd surrounding them burst into wild laughter, as if Xu Jingtian and his companion were already dead.

"Hmph! Who will die is still uncertain!" Xu Jingtian snorted coldly, waking them from their fantasy.
