Chapter 6153: Xi Jiu

You should know that those bandits all possessed 40 million units of divine power.

“Hm?” Hu Qing looked in surprise at a skeletal, odd-looking Star Field bandit who had managed to withstand his strike.

Just as he was about to make a second move, he was stopped by Jian Wushuang.

“Leave a tongue!”

Only then did Hu Qing halt his attack.

The Star Field bandits came quickly and died just as quickly.

Now, only one remained.

Xi Jiu!

He showed no fear. Seeing them hold back, he hurriedly stepped forward respectfully, saying, “Spare my life, and there will definitely be benefits!”

“Benefits?” Jian Wushuang smiled upon hearing this. The other party seemed sensible, so he asked, “The treasures you bought in Zhalong City that contain the power of the Starry Sky, who are they for?”

This was what he was most curious about. As for why they targeted the Spacetime Gorge, he did not care in the slightest.

At this moment, Young Master Hong Long also stepped forward, grabbing the man’s neck and coldly asking, “And who sent you? How dare you spy on the treasures of Zhalong Mountain!”

“This…” Xi Jiu glanced at Jian Wushuang and Young Master Hong Long, then finally looked towards Hu Qing.

He wasn’t a fool and knew who was stronger.

Guest Qing Shanyang saw this and quickly soothed Young Master Hong Long, saying, “Don’t rush. Let him speak slowly!”

Only then did Young Master Hong Long realize his impoliteness and slowly released Xi Jiu, saying in a low voice, “Tell us everything you know. Otherwise, you know the consequences.” “Cough, cough…” Xi Jiu coughed a few times before staggering as he said, “So, who should I answer first?”

Even at this point, the other party still dared to haggle. Jian Wushuang frowned.

Though he found the other party somewhat sensible, he saw no fear in his eyes; instead, there was a calmness. This gave Jian Wushuang a bad premonition, and he signaled Hu Qing with a glance.

If these Star Field bandits had a backup plan, they needed to act immediately.

“Enough nonsense!” Jian Wushuang frowned, and with a thought, he enveloped Xi Jiu in his divine power.

Xi Jiu was unfazed, but as he felt that divine power, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He then grinned, “Power of the Starry Sky. You, a mere kid with only 20 million units of divine power, dare to inquire? I have to admire your courage. I can only tell you, some things are better left unknown!”

The moment his divine power enveloped Xi Jiu, Jian Wushuang’s attention was drawn away.

Because around them, a pink mist had risen.

“Poison!”

Jian Wushuang shouted, “Quickly, retract your aura and don’t let it touch you!”

But his warning came too late.

Except for Hu Qing, who had been alerted early and stepped back half a step, everyone else was affected.

Young Master Hong Long was also startled and tried to retreat but it was too late.

Pink bubbles appeared on his face, spreading along his body, causing even his divine form to start decaying.

This poison was extremely potent. Even weaker demigods would perish.

Seeing this, Hu Qing wanted to help but was stopped by Jian Wushuang.

Such a terrifying poison, they had no idea what it was.

Rushing to save them might get themselves killed too.

Just moments ago, Hu Qing had unleashed sixty million units of divine power, and yet the enemy dared to scheme against them, clearly confident in their poison.

“Young Master…” Qing Xuan, who was responsible for protecting Hong Long, was the first to fall, being the closest to Xi Jiu.

The poison came from Xi Jiu’s body.

Elder Zhuge’s eyes widened in disbelief, his eyes losing their light. Before he died, he shouted unwillingly, “It’s the Cha Luohua. You are from… Du Gu’s faction!”

With a thud!

Elder Zhuge’s body and divine form shattered, his Origin Source ceasing to function.

After being poisoned, the young master Hong Long relied on his treasures to forcibly hold on, but he could not persist for long.

When he heard about Cha Luohua and Du Gu, he fell into complete despair.

Cha Luohua was a top ten deadly poison on the Realm King Continent. Once a cultivator below

the Universe Master was contaminated, they would undoubtedly die.

However, this poison had a special smell, making it difficult to get close to.

Unless someone could carry this deadly poison.

The person in front of him, Xi Jiu, was just such a person.

The only person who could carry Cha Luohua in the nearby star fields was that “Emperor Du Gu!”

It was not that Emperor Du Gu could carry it, but one of his subordinates could.

With this person, Emperor Du Gu plundered several star fields, and even Universe Masters had no way to deal with him.

This person appeared here.

So, the one targeting Zhalong Mountain this time was probably Emperor Du Gu.

“Brother Wu Li!” Before the young master Hong Long fell, he turned to look at Wu Li. From Hu Qing’s outbreak to Jian Wushuang’s calmness, he could see that what Wu Li had told him before might not be a lie. They might really be super prodigies from the Star Field of the Gods, or disciples of the Spacetime Divine Sect with vast backgrounds.

“Brother Hong Long, is there anything else you want to say?” Wu Li, seeing the unwillingness on his face, also felt a bit of pity.

“Brother Wu Li, help me deliver a message to my father…” As young master Hong Long spoke, he felt a tremor in his Origin Source, and he stood frozen, unable to move.

Behind him, a dagger coated with poison pierced his Origin Source, shattering his last bit of

strength.

This scene startled Jian Wushuang.

The attack was too fast.

The guest of Zhalong Mountain, “Shang Yang,” turned out to be a traitor.

Not only was he not poisoned, but he took the opportunity to kill the young master Hong

Long and snatched his formation compass.

Jian Wushuang was not the only one stunned; Wu Li was also dumbfounded.

And so was Xi Jiu.

“Haha, I didn’t expect the one the emperor mentioned was you. Fine, quickly take me away.

The formation cannot stop the master of Zhalong Mountain!”

The person who came to meet him appeared, and the mission was declared over.

In fact, this was how it was supposed to be. It was all because Lion King was too arrogant,

wanting to take down the Spacetime Gorge by himself.

How could that be possible?

With divine power just over 50 million, he wanted to take down the Spacetime Gorge. That

was underestimating the master of Zhalong Mountain too much.

Shang Yang played with the compass in his hand, just about to put it away, but his expression paused. Ignoring Xi Jiu, he looked at Wu Li and shouted, “Catch!”

Then he threw the compass to Wu Li.

“Huh?”

Wu Li instinctively caught the compass.

Jian Wushuang wanted to warn him, but it was too late.

Shang Yang took out a jade copper mirror and said loudly, “Everyone, don’t thank me. I’ll be

leaving now!”

“You?” Xi Jiu was confused for a moment, not understanding what Shang Yang was doing.

He quickly used a special method to communicate with Emperor Du Gu.

The order he received was the same as Shang Yang’s.

The two looked at each other and simultaneously took out their spacetimes tokens.

Then they directly crushed them.

Only Jian Wushuang and the others were left, standing dumbfounded in place.

The people brought by Young Master Hong Long were either dead or had betrayed him.

Only a few of them remained unscathed.
