Chapter 1064: Taking Action

Faced with the assault of Saint Sovereign Qin, how could the three of them possibly resist? Even if they poured all their strength into fighting back, it was of no use.

The laws of Immortal Dao coiled through the void as a single palm strike seized the three, just like catching chicks. The three couldn’t even move.

“Saint Sovereign Qin, what do you think you’re doing?”

At this moment, a beam of light tore through the void. An immense aura directly shattered the palm strike from Saint Sovereign Qin.

“Deputy Sect Leader,” the three cried inwardly with joy upon seeing the newcomer. In their eyes, if the deputy sect leader hadn’t arrived in time, their lives would have been forfeited here.

The newcomer was the deputy sect leader of Kunlun Divine Sect, his red hair like a boundless sea of fire. Particularly striking was his crimson mane, each strand brimming with infinite violent power.

“Chi Huoshen…” Upon seeing the arrival, Saint Sovereign Qin’s anger still hadn’t dissipated.

“Saint Sovereign Qin, what exactly are you trying to do? Have you forgotten our agreement? How dare you lay hands on my sect’s disciples?” Chi Huoshen knew of Saint Sovereign Qin’s strength; if they were to clash, the outcome would be uncertain.

“Make them hand over the items. If not, even you won’t escape my wrath,” Saint Sovereign Qin roared. At this critical moment, there was no turning back—he must reclaim the items. He was willing to risk hostility with the Kunlun Divine Sect for their sake.

“Deputy Sect Leader, he’s slandering us. We followed him into the treasure ground, but he led us into a deadly trap. If we hadn’t managed to escape suddenly, the three of us would have perished there. Now he wants us to hand over these items, but we don’t even know what he’s talking about,” Patriarch Jiuli of the Ancestors of Nine Li said.

Now that the deputy sect leader had arrived, their lives were at least safe. However, Saint Sovereign Qin was too arrogant, attempting to kill them outright—an utter disregard for the Kunlun Divine Sect.

Chi Huoshen looked at the three. He saw no signs of concealment in their eyes. This treasure ground had also intrigued the Kunlun Divine Sect, yet they still didn’t know who had left it behind.

At that moment, Patriarch Jiuli continued, “This treasure ground is called the Heaven Treasury of the Three Sovereigns. We were surrounded by a group of living beings there, leaving us no chance to seek treasures. It was all part of Saint Sovereign Qin’s plan—he never intended for us to obtain anything valuable inside.”

“The Heaven Treasury of the Three Sovereigns!”

Chi Huoshen was stunned, as if recalling something. Soon after, his expression changed, “So it’s the Heaven Treasury of the Three Sovereigns—the legendary treasure ground left by the Three Sovereign Immortal Kings who rashly broke into the realm of Heaven Sovereign and were crushed by the Dao of Heaven Sovereign.”

Saint Sovereign Qin’s face turned icy cold. This time, he had suffered heavy losses obtaining the Heaven Treasury of the Three Sovereigns. Though there were still some treasures inside, the most important ones had completely vanished, an unbearable loss for him.

A glimmer of greed flickered in Chi Huoshen’s heart. This Heaven Treasury of the Three Sovereigns was no ordinary treasure—it was left behind by an Immortal King below the rank of Heaven Sovereign. The treasures inside were likely as numerous as the sea.

Moreover, the Three Sovereign Immortal Kings were ancient powerhouses, incomparable even to their sect’s Supreme Elder.

Though he had never seen those Immortal Kings, Chi Huoshen knew in his heart that those ancient Immortal Kings could probably crush their Supreme Elder with just a finger.

This was the gap between Immortal Kings.

His divine consciousness fluctuated as Chi Huoshen immediately relayed this matter back. The current situation was extremely serious, involving the treasure left by an ancient Immortal King. No matter what, they must obtain it.

“Chi Huoshen, you dare betray me and scheme for my treasures? Just wait, Kunlun Divine Sect,” Saint Sovereign Qin didn’t dare to linger and immediately vanished into the void, fleeing into the distance.

If it were merely Chi Huoshen alone, he wouldn’t have given him a second thought. However, if he continued to stay, once the experts from Kunlun Divine Sect arrived, even if his power was peerless, he would certainly not be their match.

“Stop!” Chi Huoshen reacted quickly and chased after Saint Sovereign Qin.

In an instant, only the three of them were left in the sky and earth.

“Senior Brother, what should we do now?” asked Zheng Qiankun.

“Go back,” Patriarch Jiuli said. This matter was no longer within their control.

Deputy Sect Leader Chi Huoshen had already chased after them. With their strength, even if they followed, they would only be cannon fodder.

Just as the three were preparing to leave, Lin Fan appeared before them, holding onto Mo Qingxuan.

“Please, hold on a moment.”

Everyone was startled and turned their gazes toward the newcomers. “Who are you?”

Patriarch Jiuli became vigilant. The sudden appearance of this person likely meant no good.

At this moment, Lin Fan was somewhat delighted. He hadn’t expected that a casual stroll would lead him to encounter a candidate disciple of the Kunlun Divine Sect leader. His luck was simply incredible.

As for the two who had escaped earlier, Lin Fan dared not provoke them—they were too powerful. Although he had hidden far away, he was still afraid they might discover him.

But reality turned out to be so wonderful—the two hadn’t noticed him. Perhaps they were too preoccupied with each other to pay attention to others.

“You’re from the Demon Subduing Celestial Sect,” Patriarch Jiuli noticed the badge at Mo Qingxuan’s waist and said in surprise.

“That’s right. This is the daughter of the Demon Subduing Celestial Sect’s Grand Elder,” Lin Fan smiled and said, already thinking about how best to kill these three.

At that moment, Zheng Qiankun seemed to recognize Lin Fan. The three began exchanging whispers.

“Senior Brother, this person seems to be the one our sect has marked for death—the Lin Fan from the Heaven Dao Sect,” Zheng Qiankun whispered.

Patriarch Jiuli was taken aback. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“No, I’ve seen his portrait countless times. I’m absolutely certain,” Zheng Qiankun confirmed again.

Bi Liu Xianzi was somewhat worried. “Senior Brother, this person is extremely ruthless. Even Deputy Sect Leader Tian Fengling couldn’t subdue him. If we recklessly attack, we might not succeed.”

“Then we’ll keep him calm for now. Once the deputy sect leader returns, this fellow will have nowhere to run,” Patriarch Jiuli said.

…

“It’s an honor to meet the daughter of the Demon Subduing Celestial Sect’s Grand Elder. May I ask this senior brother’s esteemed name?” Patriarch Jiuli politely asked.

“My surname is Lin, and my given name is Fan—Lin Fan,” Lin Fan smiled.

Patriarch Jiuli’s expression slightly changed, then he smiled. “So it’s Brother Lin. I’ve long heard of your reputation.”

“Oh no, those are just rumors. I’m nothing special. By the way, may I ask if something has happened here?” Lin Fan asked.

Patriarch Jiuli smiled lightly. “Nothing much. We’re just preparing to take a look around. If Brother Lin and your companions have nothing else to do, perhaps we could travel together for mutual support.”

Lin Fan burst into laughter. “Great, great! No problem at all. That’s exactly what I was hoping for.”

Patriarch Jiuli smiled and said, “Brother Lin, please.”

Lin Fan waved his hand politely. “No, no, you go first.”

“No, no, Brother Lin, you go first.”

“Let’s not argue about who goes first. You go ahead,” Lin Fan said.

Patriarch Jiuli felt it was unnecessary to dwell on who should go first. Since that was the case, he might as well take the lead.

“In that case, I won’t decline,” Patriarch Jiuli smiled.

Lin Fan nodded. “That’s only appropriate.”

Patriarch Jiuli smiled faintly, took a step forward, and then turned his head to look at his companions. “There’s a city a few miles ahead. Let’s go there and rest for a while…”

Puchi!

A strange sound rang out.

Puchi!

Puchi!

At the moment Patriarch Jiuli turned his body, Lin Fan struck…
