1330 A Grandiose Blitzkrieg Attack (2/2)
”Who the hell are you, people? What kind of enmity does the Vast Martial Sect have with you, to think that you even dispatched nine Perfected Golden Immortals to destroy my sect?” The white-haired old man tried to fight back desperately but was still seriously injured.
”Give up your resistance!” Tang Xiu ruthlessly and coldly said, ”We can decimate everyone in your Sect. If you do not, nothing will be left alive in your sect, including chickens and dogs!”
The white-haired old man furiously roared. But facing the fierce onslaught of nine Perfected Golden Immortals, he was forced to directly give up his resistance. As Star Tears captured and sealed him, Tang Xiu floated up in front of him, looked at him, and grabbed his collar before towing him into the tallest building below.
”This place is the Hall to enshrine and pay homage to your ancestors, yes?” Tang Xiu asked with a smile.
The white-haired old man looked as though he was dying and nodded. ”That's right.”
”Stun all those Golden Immortals hiding here!” ordered Tang Xiu with a smile.
In a flash, four figures disappeared. In just several breaths, the four soon appeared near Tang Xiu out of nowhere.
Tang Xiu shifted to the old man again and smilingly said, ”You have quite the treasure yet you have no strength to preserve it. Quite the easy way to invite calamity upon you, am I right?”
”You're correct,” the Ancestor of Vast Martial Sect replied in a muffled voice.
”Well, since you also think that what I said makes sense, take out the Soul Pursuit Token received by your Vast Martial Sect! Don't ask me how I know. I have my own intel channel.”
The Vast Martial Sect's ancestor could only let out a mirthless smile and took a black token directly from his interspatial ring and handed it to Tang Xiu, saying bitterly, ”This is the Soul Pursuit Token.”
Tang Xiu held the token and fiddled it in his hand for a while before he smiled lightly. ”Yup, this is indeed the Soul Pursuit Token. I obtained two of them before but didn't expect to get a third. Well, you're a sensible man. I can spare all disciples of your Vast Martial Sect since you gave me the Soul Pursuit Token. But you also know what to say and what not to after we leave, don't you?”
”I know.” The Vast Martial Sect's ancestor bitterly replied.
”Then I won't waste more words since you already understand.” Tang Xiu nodded with satisfaction. ”But from now on, you can say that I owe the Vast Martial Sect a favor, so I'm leaving this Message Token. If your sect were to face a life-and-death crisis, use this token to notify me and I'll send my people to the rescue.”
The Vast Martial Sect's Ancestor froze for a moment and he said in disbelief, ”You mean…”
”Well, let's just say that I hate to take advantage of others for nothing,” said Tang Xiu lightly. ”You may say that my methods are not honorable, but I have my own reason to do so. A very strong reason. I did sever your chance to have Battlesoul Supreme's assistance, but I owe you a favor in exchange. No worries. Even if the person you must face in the future is a Supremacy Stage expert, I can still exterminate him for you.”
Having said that, Tang Xiu nodded to Star Tears.
Star Tears lifted up the seal on the Vast Martial Sect's Ancestor and indifferently said, ”What my Heavenly Emperor has promised will be fulfilled. You can choose whether you want your Vast Martial Sect to be annihilated and be the target of endless pursuit, or to remain silent and keep this favor for use in the future. The choice is yours.”
Tang Xiu took out a healing elixir and handed it to the Vast Martial Sect's Ancestor and then immediately left with the rest.
”Ugh… they left… just like that?”
Disbelief was cast on the face of Vast Martial Sect's Ancestor. He originally thought that today was the day he met his death, but he never expected that the other party only demanded the Soul Pursuit Token. They didn't even kill anyone.
After a long while, he muttered to himself, ”Who exactly are they?”
After obtaining the Soul Pursuit Token, Tang Xiu didn't immediately contact Battlesoul Supreme. He had met this Supreme several times in the past and even fought side by side with him in the endless abyss to kill a lot of extraterrestrial demons in the Outer Territory. But when it came to friendship, they had no deep bonds and could only be said to be ordinary friends at best.
This Battlesoul Supreme was just a hair inferior to him in his heyday.
Therefore, Tang Xiu decided not to use this Soul Pursuit Token unless it was absolutely necessary. The best time was to use it to invite Battlesoul Supreme in the final decisive battle.
”Shall we go back now, Grand Master?”
Seeing Tang Xiu and the rest return, Tang An quickly asked.
Tang Xiu nodded and said, ”We'll return directly. There are some things that should be done.”
Tang An had no idea what these issues were about, but she still nodded. Prior to this, she received a message from Tang Xiu to bring Seaway Monarch and Zenith Venerable over, so there were only Apotheon Mu and her Master, Gu Yan'er, at the helm in the Great Tang Empire's stronghold in the Misty Spring Ocean.
”I hereby appoint you all as the Protector Elders of the Great Tang Empire!”
Before returning, Tang Xiu solemnly spoke to the six Perfected Golden Immortals.
