“Haha, this item is destined for me.”
Two Earth Immortal late-stage cultivators were vying for a third-order immortal herb, each wielding spiritual treasures and fiercely competing.
Suddenly, a loud laugh echoed from the side, causing both of them to pause.
“It's you again, what bad luck!”
One of the men, dressed in a green robe, had apparently crossed paths with Lu Xin before, and he actually put away his spiritual treasure and left directly.
Very decisive.
This stunned the remaining man, who was about to say “courting death.” He couldn't understand why someone whose strength was comparable to his would just leave.
“Who are you?”
He frowned and sized up Lu Xin, discovering that he was also only at the late stage of the Earth Immortal realm. Logically, this shouldn't be the case, which made him even more puzzled.
“You don't recognize me?”
Lu Xin reached out and grabbed the immortal herb, a bit surprised. He thought everyone already knew him, making him too lazy to even disguise his appearance, only hiding his cultivation.
Now he actually encountered someone who didn't recognize him.
Somewhat rare.
“Should I recognize you?” Seeing the other party taking the immortal herb he had just been fighting for, the man felt a surge of anger.
However, with his previous opponent's actions as a precedent, he didn't dare to act rashly.
“It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, you just need to recognize it.”
Lu Xin's eyes darted around. He was getting tired of using “this item is destined for me” as an excuse and decided to switch it up.
So he pointed to the little Vermilion Bird standing on his shoulder. Upon hearing this, the little Vermilion Bird immediately cooperated, putting its wings on its hips and raising its neck high.
“It? A little red sparrow?”
In its current form, it was difficult for most people to recognize the little Vermilion Bird's true identity, so after looking at it, the man was even more confused about what he meant.
“Ji ji.” The little Vermilion Bird was clearly very angry at being called a little sparrow.
Lu Xin appeased it for a moment before saying:
“It is called Lord Sparrow, the master of the Profound Origin Immortal Palace, which is to say, the master of this place. Now, you bunch of robbers have broken into its home, plundering its things, and it is very angry.”
“You agree, right?” He said, turning to look at the little Vermilion Bird.
His words not only stunned the man opposite him but also the little Vermilion Bird. It tapped its chin with its wingtip, thought for a moment, and then nodded very seriously.
“See, it has now entrusted me to take back what belongs to it.” Lu Xin pointed to himself.
“What a load of nonsense! So, after all that, you just want to rob me!”
The man finally understood the other party's intention, and therefore became even more furious.
He then discovered that Lu Xin had disappeared from his spot, and his expression changed. He only felt a fist wind piercing his ears, and he quickly retreated.
“Don't think I'm afraid of you!”
Dodging the attack, the man's expression was extremely ugly. Facing the figure that was attacking again, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a bronze broadsword with nine rings hanging on its back appeared out of thin air, and then he slashed forward.
“Bang!”
The blade accurately struck a golden fist, making a dull thud.
Before the man could show any joy, he felt a huge force coming from the blade. Not only did this strike not split the other party's fist, but he was instead sent flying.
Crack, crack, crack!
He flew out quite a distance before he could dissipate this terrifying force.
“A Force Immortal!” The man instantly reacted, revealing a look of shock. “No, there's also a layer of Astral Qi no weaker than the physical body!”
He thought of the layer of airflow on the surface of the golden fist and finally understood why the person who was fighting with him for the immortal herb earlier turned around and left.
Not to mention the opponent's attack, these two layers of defense alone were difficult to break through.
Fighting for too long would only be to his disadvantage.
Therefore, he didn't dare to stay any longer and directly used an escape technique to leave.
Seeing the little Vermilion Bird return with a storage bag in its mouth, Lu Xin didn't chase after him. It was enough to snatch the things, leaving the people to continue helping him collect treasures.
He planned to do something big at the end.
“Good job.”
Lu Xin took the storage bag, glanced at it, and put it away, praising the little Vermilion Bird.
This little guy was truly talented in taking back its own things. He didn't know how it did it, and it was becoming more and more in sync with him.
He was responsible for attracting attention, and the little guy was responsible for taking the storage bags.
“Well, if I could learn the Cloud Swallowing Hand that Du Zhiyan knows, it might be more convenient.” He thought again.
“Ji ji.” At this time, the little Vermilion Bird called out, stretched out its wingtip, and pointed to its mouth.
“I won't forget.” Lu Xin smiled, took out a pill he had left over from his previous cultivation, and fed it to its mouth.
The little Vermilion Bird immediately swallowed it, then contentedly burped, and then chirped again, pointing forward, its anger overflowing, indicating that it wanted to continue to help it take back its things.
Lu Xin understood, “Okay, we'll continue to find those robbers and take back what belongs to you.”
The little Vermilion Bird immediately jumped up and down excitedly.
Then, this place suffered a disaster. Wherever the man and bird passed, there was chaos and resentment.
Gradually, the name of Luo Feng spread among the crowd again. Compared to before, their impression was even more profound.
“Damn Luo Feng, when did this place become yours?” An Earth Immortal late-stage man who had just been robbed of his storage bag was extremely angry.
“What do you mean mine? This is Lord Sparrow's. I'm just entrusted by it.”
Lu Xin contentedly put away the storage bag he had obtained.
“You…”
The man's face turned red. How could he not understand that the other party was just shamelessly finding an excuse? But he couldn't beat him, so he was extremely aggrieved.
“Are you leaving or not? This time, I'm just taking back what belongs to my client and giving you a small lesson. If you don't leave, then next…”
“I'm leaving!”
Faced with the threat, the man had no choice but to leave obediently, not even daring to utter harsh words, because he had personally seen three disciples of the Seventy-Two Halls trying to besiege the other party.
As a result, they were wiped out without even breaking through a layer of Astral Qi.
Although he was very angry, he didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
Moreover, fortunately, although the things here were good, they were all second-order items and not very precious.
What was important were the things after entering the Immortal Palace.
So he didn't feel too bad about being robbed.
Now, the only thing that made his heart ache was that his spiritual treasure had also been taken away.
“You're quite sensible.”
Lu Xin gave the little Vermilion Bird another pill as a reward and then continued forward.
Now he had entered the late-stage Earth Immortal beast area, which should also be the last area. He wasn't in a hurry and slowly passed through it.
…
“Gale Breaking Divine Fist!”
At this time, somewhere in the late-stage Earth Immortal beast area, a loud shout suddenly came out.
A tall woman wearing black tights flashed and came to the side of an Ironclad Rhinoceros, and then threw a fist flashing with mysterious light, hitting the rhinoceros in the abdomen.
“Bang!”
A dull sound immediately came out from the scene, as if a fist hit a wall. The rhinoceros remained motionless, but instead, it aroused its ferocity even more.
It let out a deafening roar.
“Zhiyan, be careful, retreat quickly!” Beside her, another woman quickly reminded her, also planning to take action to help.
As a result, before she could act, the situation on the scene changed again.
The Ironclad Rhinoceros, which had taken a punch and seemed unharmed, suddenly exploded in a series of muffled sounds.
Then it turned into light spots and dissipated.
Only a token remained floating in place.
The woman in black tights quickly went over and took the token.
“Zhiyan, are you okay?” The woman who had just reminded her appeared next to her.
“Sister Lei Yun, I'm fine. Look, I got the token to enter the Immortal Palace.” Du Zhiyan raised the token in her hand.
Lu Lei Yun breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought your Gale Breaking Divine Fist couldn't break through the opponent's defense. It seems I still underestimated you.”
Du Zhiyan said proudly: “How is that possible? This Gale Breaking Divine Fist cultivates internal strength. Although I can only unleash twelve layers of strength now, it's more than enough to break through the defense of this fake late-stage Earth Immortal Ironclad Rhinoceros.”
“So that's how it is.”
Lu Lei Yun understood the mystery of this fist technique, and then said:
“Okay, now we all have tokens, let's go directly to the Immortal Palace.”
“Yeah.” Du Zhiyan nodded.
Then the two left this place, but before they had gone far, they encountered Mo Yunting, who was in a hurry.
“So you two are here. I finally found you.” Seeing the two, Mo Yunting stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that he seemed to be looking for her all along, and that there was a hint of anxiety in his expression, Lu Lei Yun asked in confusion: “What happened?”
“It seems you haven't heard yet.”
Mo Yunting didn't beat around the bush and said directly: “That guest elder Luo Feng from your merchant guild, he actually came in too.”
“What?!”
