Of the dozens of people that Xie Qingcheng brought in, which one of them had not received his kindness?
But now that he was in trouble, only the six Heaven Immortals before him were willing to stay by his side.
Duke Yan and the others harbored ill intentions and were eyeing him covetously, ready to strike at any moment.
Xie Qingcheng did not want to implicate the six Heaven Immortals and put them in danger because of his persistence.
He was a duke after all. Even if he stayed here, his life would not be in danger and he would at most suffer some humiliation. However, the six Heaven Immortals might be in danger!
"Duke …"
The six Heaven Immortals called out softly.
"Let's go."
Xie Qingcheng pretended to be carefree and smiled. "Wait for me at the palace after 20 days. Regardless of success or failure, we have to gather and get drunk!"
"Alright!"
The six Heaven Immortals agreed.
If they insisted on staying, they would only be attacked by Duke Yan and the others.
Furthermore, the six Heaven Immortals did not want to betray Xie Qingcheng and their only choice was to leave.
Under Xie Qingcheng's gaze, the six Heaven Immortals tore their teleportation talismans and left the battlefield of Shura.
Duke Yan sneered. "Xie Qingcheng, what are you still doing here? Are you trying to embarrass yourself? "
"Perhaps he wants to obtain the Spirit Dawn Seal with his own strength."
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying had just changed his allegiance and immediately changed his attitude, trampling on Xie Qingcheng to curry favor with Duke Yan.
"You guys don't have to care about whether I stay or leave!"
Xie Qingcheng's tone was cold.
"Aiyoh,"
Duke Yan laughed. "My dear brother, you're quite indignant, huh? Yue Ying, go teach him a lesson for me! "
"This …"
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying hesitated for a moment.
"Why? You don't dare? Or do you miss your old master?" Duke Yan turned and asked with narrowed eyes.
"No!"
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying reacted quickly and denied it.
Although he had some resistance in his heart, he was also clear that this matter could be considered as a proof of his allegiance.
That was the only way he could truly gain the trust and respect of Duke Yan!
At that thought, Heaven Immortal Yue Ying made up his mind and walked towards Xie Qingcheng.
"How dare you!"
Xie Qingcheng glared at Heaven Immortal Yue Ying with a cold gaze.
After all, he was the Duke of the Flaming Sun Celestial Kingdom. Now that he was furious, he was exuding the majesty of the royal family.
Although Celestial Immortal Yue Ying's cultivation base was higher than Xie Qingcheng's, she had once followed Xie Qingcheng, and Xie Qingcheng had even saved her life.
Now that Xie Qingcheng was glaring at him, he felt a little guilty and didn't move.
"Don't be afraid."
Duke Yan's face was full of smiles as he instigated, "Just don't beat him to death. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"
"Thank you, Duke Yan."
Upon hearing this, Celestial Immortal Yue Ying's heart calmed down.
Xie Qingcheng scolded, "Ungrateful dog, I shouldn't have saved you back then!"
At the mention of that, Heavenly Immortal Yue Ying's face flushed red and she felt extremely embarrassed. Resentment rose in her heart as she raised her hand to slap Xie Qingcheng while scolding, "Who needs your help? Mind your own business!"
Before Celestial Immortal Yue Ying's palm could land on Xie Qingcheng's face, her wrist was grabbed by another thick and heavy hand, like an iron hoop!
Celestial Immortal Moonshadow's arm was completely motionless.
Instead, a terrifying heatwave was emitted from the other party's palm, as though it could burn her arm to ashes!
"Fellow Daoist Lie, you …"
Turning around, Celestial Immortal Yue Ying could not help but be shocked when she saw that person.
The person who stopped Celestial Immortal Yue Ying was Lie Xuan who was beside Duke Yan.
"Brother Lie, what's the meaning of this?"
Duke Yan frowned slightly.
Lie Xuan turned around and said in a deep voice, "Xie Qingcheng has the bloodline of the Flaming Sun Immortal King after all. If she's bullied by an outsider, it'll be an embarrassment to the royal family."
"Furthermore, he's alone and won't affect our seizing of the seal. There's no need to kill him."
Duke Yan was somewhat displeased.
However, Lie Xuan was a reincarnated Perfected Immortal and it wasn't easy for him to invite the latter to stand on his side. Duke Yan had to give Lie Xuan some face as well.
"Alright."
Duke Yan waved his hand. "I'll listen to Brother Lie and not lower myself to your level. Let's go!"
With that, Duke Yan led the group of cultivators away.
Lie Xuan released his grip and Celestial Immortal Yue Ying hurriedly retracted his wrist with a pained expression.
In that short period of time, his wrist was burned with a brand and he could no longer feel his entire hand.
Even though he suffered a huge loss, Celestial Immortal Yue Ying did not dare to complain at all. Enduring the pain, he fled the place dejectedly without even turning back.
With his hands behind his back, Lie Xuan turned and left.
"Thank you."
When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Xie Qingcheng's voice sounded from behind him.
Lie Xuan paused and glanced sideways. "Indeed, Su Zimo whom you found has already fallen into the lake. However, at that time, the six people in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking were all present."
"To be precise, he fell into the Blood Malevolent Lake because he fought against the six of them alone."
When Xie Qingcheng heard that, she no longer had any doubts.
However, she had not expected that the six Heaven Immortals in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking would join forces to deal with Su Zimo!
"He's very strong."
Lie Xuan's tone seemed to contain a hint of admiration and pity.
After a moment of silence, he continued, "If I were to fight him alone, the outcome would be hard to predict."
After saying that, Lie Xuan left the place and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After everyone left, Xie Qingcheng sat on the ground dejectedly.
Now, he was all alone. He had nothing and was helpless.
Even if he could still hold on to the beliefs in his heart, what else could he do in such a situation?
Was he still going to participate in the seal seizing battle 20 days later?
He was only a Level 7 Heaven Immortal. How could he compete with the other Dukes?
…
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
On the last day, the remaining seven Dukes in the battlefield of Shura arrived at the lake in the center of the ancient city with their respective teams, waiting for the final moment to arrive.
When the Paramita Bridge arrived, it also meant that the most critical and intense battle of the seal seizing battle had officially begun!
In the sky above the ancient city.
The six Perfected Immortals of Divine Firmament Palace also perked up. The next battle would determine the rankings of many cultivators on the Heaven Ranking Mountain!
"Hmm?"
Shen Hong said softly, "There seems to be another team that hasn't arrived?"
"It's Xie Qingcheng. He's the only one left in his team. He probably gave up," Shen Ze explained.
"Take a guess, who will obtain this Lingxia Seal in the end?"
Shen Yun did not wait for the others to answer and said first, "I guess it will be Princess Yu Yan. She has Zong Feiyu's help, so her chances are high."
Shen Feng analyzed, "Currently, Duke Yan's team has the most people after swallowing Xie Qingcheng's team. There are more than 60 of them. Duke Yan has Lie Xuan's help, and his overall strength is above Princess Yu Yan's team. His chances of winning are not small. "
Shen Yan said, "Actually, the seal seizing battle does not depend on the overall strength of the team. It depends on which team can ensure that their Dukes get the Lingxia Seal first."
"This adds countless variables to the seal seizing battle."
"Duke Ming Jiong has Song Ce's help, Duke Feng has Immortal Luo Yang's help, Duke Yu has Yue Hai's help, and there's also the powerful Duke Tian Huang. They all have a chance."
"Divine Crane, guess who it will be?"
The five of them turned their heads and looked at Divine Crane Fairy, who had been silent all these days.
"I don't know."
Divine Crane Fairy shook her head slightly and replied absent-mindedly. Her eyes were still fixed on the lake below, as if she was waiting for something.
Suddenly!
Divine Crane Fairy's expression changed!
