Chapter 4932: Escape

Wang Qingshan flicked his finger, and a green sword energy swept out, shattering the red hand. At the same time, a thick green light barrier appeared on his body.

A giant blade, flashing with white light, struck the green light barrier, which dented before quickly returning to normal.

The green cloth bag enveloped the tenth Enlightenment Fruit and rolled it back inside.

After the tenth Enlightenment Fruit was picked, the Sound of the Great Dao disappeared. Wang Qingling and the other five had regained consciousness, their expressions varied.

"Hand over the Enlightenment Fruits; I only want one."

The man in the golden robe, who had reached the Great Perfection stage of True Immortal cultivation, spoke.

"We want them all. If you don't hand over the Enlightenment Fruits, you will be killed without mercy."

Murong Yunshang said coldly.

If the Murong family could obtain all ten Enlightenment Fruits, they would undoubtedly experience a significant rise. If even one clan member could comprehend a Supreme Law, unifying the Sky Morning Sea Domain would be no problem.

"Give them to you? What a joke. What we've obtained is ours."

Wang Qingshan sneered, and with a single hand gesture, the Golden Lin Sword flew back to him.

"What 'yours' and 'ours'? I gave them to you. Am I not here?"

A childish male voice sounded.

Wang Qingshan and the others exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes settling on the Enlightenment Fruit Tree.

"You can speak?"

Murong Yunshang asked in surprise.

"Hmph, if I can choose to appear randomly in a certain place, why can't I speak?"

The Enlightenment Fruit Tree spoke in a relatively childish human voice, its leaves swaying from side to side.

"Senior, why don't you come to our Murong family as a guest? Our Murong family would be honored to provide for you and supply you with cultivation resources."

Murong Yunshuo said sincerely, noting that the Enlightenment Fruit Tree had existed for at least over a hundred million years and was, at minimum, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"Support me? There is currently no force in the Immortal World that can support me. I go wherever I want, and no one can tell me what to do. This time, you're lucky to have encountered me here."

The Enlightenment Fruit Tree spoke human words.

"I'm going to go play with them. You all take care. I hope to meet you again next time."

After the Enlightenment Fruit Tree finished speaking, a strong green light emanated from its body, and it vanished from its spot.

Wang Qingshan and the others exchanged bewildered glances, wondering who the Enlightenment Fruit Tree was referring to—Dao artifacts, or some other rare treasures of heaven and earth?

"Six-colored Chaos Beast!"

Wang Yingjie exclaimed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently like an earthquake, and long, thick cracks appeared, sending up clouds of dust.

Wang Qingshan and the others remained unmoved, as neither side was willing to give up the Enlightenment Fruits.

"Hand over half of the Enlightenment Fruits, and we'll leave."

Murong Yunshang said.

"I want one!"

The man in the golden robe said.

"Our Murong family's main force is already on its way. It would be better for you to hand over the Enlightenment Fruits. Otherwise, even if you manage to escape this place, you'll still be caught by our family elders once you leave Tianji City."

Murong Yunshuo threatened.

Just as Wang Qingshan was about to speak, a loud beast roar echoed, and five three-colored Chaos Beasts, all at the mid-stage of True Immortal, charged and pounced towards them.

Wang Yingjie's right foot glowed with a dazzling yellow light, and the ground beneath them turned from soil to sand as a massive yellow earthen wall rose, shielding them amidst billowing dust.

"Don't leave, stay here!"

The man in the golden robe spoke, and a brilliant golden light erupted from his body as he moved both fists, smashing them towards the yellow earthen wall.

With a thunderous roar, the yellow earthen wall shattered into pieces, and three black lights shot towards them.

A golden shimmering armor appeared on the man in the golden robe. As the three black lights struck the golden armor, he let out an agonizing scream, his body going limp as he collapsed, his eyes dull and face pale.

He had taken three "Soul Exterminating Finger" attacks, his spirit severely wounded, and he immediately lost his combat ability.

A golden sword light swept out, cutting him in half, his Nascent Soul also severed.

On the other side, the yellow earthen wall was shattered by a three-colored Chaos Beast.

A dragon's roar sounded, and a white dragon claw shot out, striking the three-colored Chaos Beast. The beast flew backward, three terrifying blood marks appearing on its body.

Murong Yunshang and Murong Yunshuo were entangled by three three-colored Chaos Beasts. They quickly donned their Chaos Armor to protect themselves, and for the time being, the three-colored Chaos Beasts could not harm them.

Seizing this opportunity, Wang Qingshan and the other five flew into a three-story green pavilion, with two three-colored Chaos Beasts in pursuit.

The Golden Lin Sword in Wang Qingshan's hand emitted a dazzling golden light. He slashed towards the void, and a sharp golden sword light swept out, effortlessly slicing the two three-colored Chaos Beasts in half as if cutting melons and vegetables.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Murong Yunshang raised her right hand, and a red-glowing talisman flew out, instantly bursting open to transform into a massive fire Qilin. Emitting terrifying high temperatures, it charged directly towards the green pavilion.

A golden sword light and a golden blade light swept out, striking the fire Qilin precisely.

With a thunderous roar, the fire Qilin's body exploded, transforming into a massive red blazing sun that enveloped the entire manor, reducing numerous buildings to dust.

Murong Yunshang and Murong Yunshuo, protected by their Chaos Armor, were unharmed, though they were struggling somewhat to fend off the three-colored Chaos Beasts' attacks.

Four black lights shot towards them. Just as they were about to dodge, four massive yellow hands erupted from underground, swiftly seizing their feet, while simultaneously, a powerful gravitational force emanated from the ground.

Unable to escape, each was struck by two black lights, feeling as though their spirits were about to be torn asunder.

"Soul attack! This is the Soul Exterminating Finger. Are you descendants of the Li family?"

Murong Yunshang exclaimed in surprise.

There are many types of soul attacks, and this one closely resembled the Soul Exterminating Finger.

Their only answer was silence. Two four-colored Chaos Beasts lunged, pinning them to the ground. Even with the protection of their Chaos Armor, they were held down by the beasts.

Another four black lights shot out, striking them precisely. Both screamed repeatedly as their spirits suffered heavy damage, slowing their reactions. They were then torn to shreds by the Chaos Beasts, their Chaos Armor also destroyed.

As the red fire light dissipated, the entire manor was razed to the ground, and Wang Qingshan and the other five were nowhere to be found.

The six-colored Chaos Beast charged forward, sniffing a few times, but found no trace of Wang Qingshan and the others.

"Find them and exterminate them."

The six-colored Chaos Beast roared loudly. The other Chaos Beasts seemed to understand its command, scattering in all directions to search for immortals within the city.

Over an endless grassland, a golden, shimmering colossal ship swept quickly across the sky. It was equipped with eight low-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannons, and a team of cultivators stood on its deck, led by Murong Zhengxian.

When Murong Yunshang encountered the emergence of Tianji City, she immediately informed them before entering the city to search for treasures.

Murong Zhengxian personally led the team, rushing towards the White Horse Mountain Range, hoping they could arrive in time.

Murong Yuhe emerged from the cabin and quickly approached Murong Zhengxian, saying, "Old Ancestor Zhengxian, something terrible has happened. The soul lanterns of Old Ancestor Yunshang and Old Ancestor Yunshuo have extinguished, as has Daoist Li's. It seems they met with an accident."

Murong Zhengxian's brows furrowed deeply. "Speed up," he commanded, "I hope we can still make it."

He formed a hand seal, and the golden colossal ship immediately erupted with a brilliant golden light, accelerating its flight speed.
