Chapter 582: Chapter 564: Dragon King, Gold Devouring Ant_6

Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch was the first to reach his limit.

“It’s this damned kid who stole my Innate True Fire that I cultivated through years of hard work, causing my powers to greatly diminish,” he bemoaned. He coveted the treasures on Qin Niu, but he knew they were difficult to obtain. Now, his actions had displeased the Huoyun Ancestor, causing a bias against him.

It’s often said that while a broken mirror can be mended, the cracks remain forever.

His gaze inadvertently drifted towards the Great Elder of the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect. The opportunity to pledge his loyalty and find refuge seemed just within reach—if he acted quickly, he could secure himself a new and even more powerful patron than the Huoyun Ancestor.

Once he made up his mind, he steeled his heart and immediately said to the Great Elder of the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect, “Elder He, this humble Immortal has a matter to report to you!”

The Great Elder’s gaze swiveled, fixing on his pale face.

“Speak!”

A single word uttered, simple yet authoritative, domineering.

There was even a commanding tone to it.

The Huoyun Ancestor cast a cold glance at Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch, and although his face was expressionless, his dissatisfaction was evident in his eyes.

Feeling the coldness and dissatisfaction in those eyes, Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch couldn’t help but shiver inside. He had already drawn his bow and could not turn back; he must cling tightly to Elder He, or he would end up in an extremely awkward position on both sides.

“That kid is called Qin Niu, a newly admitted disciple of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, who possesses at least two priceless items. One can withstand thunder and even heavenly lightning, and another can devour all flames. They say that treasures are destined for those of virtue and luck—your respected self, with profound virtue and abundant blessings, is surely the rightful owner of these precious treasures,” he said, fawning over the prospect of a new and powerful patron to the point of abject sycophancy.

It could be counted as obsequiousness in the extreme.

“Oh, is there such a matter? You have done well!”

Elder He praised him with a single sentence, yet did not indicate whether he would give him protection. This made Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch quite anxious.

He had offered up a great opportunity, but what if after all this, he received no benefit?

He had surely now completely offended the Huoyun Ancestor, so there was no possibility of returning to the Fire Cloud Tunnel.

“Scoundrel, hand over all the precious items, and I might spare your life!”

Elder He, stepping on an Earth Dragon, flew directly above Qin Niu’s head, arriving in almost an instant.

The prospect of an item that could ward off heavenly lightning greatly tempted Elder He.

Every immortal must endure the terrifying heavenly tribulation; a slight misstep could lead to an untimely death. However, items that can resist lightning are few and far between, each one immeasurably rare and valuable.

Qin Niu was not foolish; seeing that the most powerful figure among his adversaries had made a move specially against him, a minor Immortal Master, he wasted no breath before he turned on his heels and ran, using the Misty Rain Elusive Step.

As he had only recently advanced to Immortal Master, he was not yet capable of flying as other immortals could.

“Hmph, do you really think you can flee in front of me?”

Elder He sneered, casually slashing through the air with his hand, causing Qin Niu to immediately feel as though his body had sunk into a bog, each step an immense struggle.

“Heaven naturally prefers to cherish life, but you, an obstinate scourge, shall not be spared. Die!”
