Ten days passed and Long Qi did not return to the Dragon Horse Crown Princes.
Twenty days passed and Long Qi still did not return.
Thirty days, forty days … As time passed, the Dragon Horse Crown Princes finally felt that something was wrong and started to contact Long Qi. They wanted to order Long Qi to quickly return to the bottom of the water and not waste time on the surface.
However, there was no news of Long Qi and they could not contact him …
"Not good! I'm afraid something has happened to Old Ninth! "
Fifth Prince Long Xing took out the River Diagram Mirror and searched for Long Qi's whereabouts. This search was not important, but all the Dragon Horse Crown Princes were shocked by the blurry but shocking battle scene in the River Diagram Mirror.
In the scene, a white-robed Immortal Sovereign whose face could not be seen clearly beat Long Qi to the point that he could not fight back. In the end, he extracted Long Qi's true spirit and captured him …
He was clearly an ancient Immortal Sovereign, but this person had the strength to crush an Immortal Emperor. His powerful posture was like a true ancient Immortal Sovereign …
"Careless, truly careless! I never thought that there would be such a powerful Immortal Sovereign in the Dharma Ending Era. No wonder he could become the Deputy General of the Border River! "
"An Immortal Sovereign capturing an Immortal Emperor. This person is definitely not a nobody. Why have we never heard of him?! If I knew this person was powerful, I would not have let Old Ninth go to the surface alone! Hateful! "
"Hmph! So what if this person is comparable to an ancient Immortal Sovereign! He dared to injure Old Ninth to this extent and extract his true spirit. I will not let him go! "
"We will come out of the water together and tear this person into pieces!"
The Dragon Horse Crown Princes were all furious. Their murderous aura burst out and shattered countless coral mountains at the bottom of the river.
Each of the Dragon Horse Crown Princes swam to the surface of the river, but in the end, they were all stopped.
The one who stopped the Dragon Horse Crown Princes was the oldest Dragon Crown Prince. Even his dragon beard had turned white and his whole body was emitting a strong aura of decay.
Among the Dragon Horse Crown Princes, this Dragon Horse was the strongest. His old eyes were dignified as he coldly glanced at the Dragon Horse Crown Princes and scolded, "Nonsense! Have you all forgotten the Great Divine Arbiter's order?! If only Long Qi came out of the water alone, this matter would not be serious. However, if all of you came out at the same time, the Great Divine Arbiter would definitely be furious. Do you think that the Great Divine Priest can't kill you just because you have a True Spirit? "
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the other Dragon Horse Crown Princes turned cold. There was fear in them as they recalled how terrifying the Great Divine Arbiter was.
"Big Brother, are we really going to watch helplessly as Old Nine is captured and not rescue him?" A Dragon Horse Crown Prince said unwillingly.
"Humph! Who said I wasn't going to save him? I just don't allow all of you to go, but if only three or five of you go at a time, even if the Great Divine Priestess condemns us later, the punishment will still be within the range of what we can bear. Even if that East Heaven Immortal Sovereign really had the power of an ancient Immortal Sovereign, it was impossible for him to resist the joint forces of several Immortal Emperors. Judging from the scene in the River Diagram Mirror, the East Heaven Celestial Venerable possesses a set of magical treasures that are comparable to Mid-Grade Innate Magical Treasures. Furthermore, he seems to have cultivated the legendary Flame Thunder … How about this? Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, the three of you come out of the water and capture the East Heaven Celestial Venerable. Thirteenth was proficient in fire, Fourteenth was proficient in lightning, and Fifteenth had the Artifact Breaking Dharma Eye. With all three of them here, they should be able to restrain this cultivator's techniques. Old Seven, you go as well. With your Invincible Vajra Body, even if this kid has other tricks up his sleeves, you should be able to deal with them. Just in case … Old Five, you go as well! I'm afraid that this person will turn around and run away once he sees how powerful you are. With your River Diagram Divine Light guarding him, this cultivator won't be able to escape even if he has wings! "
The five dragons who were named accepted the order gladly and swam towards the surface of the river.
The remaining dragons sneered, as if they had already foreseen the scene of Ning Fan's death. Their side had sent out three Sixth Tribulation Immortal Emperors and two Seventh Tribulation Immortal Emperors. With such a huge lineup, even if the opponent is an existence comparable to Doomsday Immortal Venerable, he will definitely die!
…
Ning Fan naturally did not know that there were five Dragon Horse Crown Princes chasing after him at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, more than forty days had passed since they took back the Water Moon Pass. After the battle with Long Qi that day, Ning Fan did not encounter any other Immortal Emperor Realm existences on the waterway. The ordinary foreign races were naturally far from being his match. His battle boat was invincible and no one could stop it.
The Copper Cloud Pass, the Red Sand Pass, the Two Eyes Pass … Under the strong attacks of Ning Fan and his group, all the passes were recovered one after another.
The Yin Horse Clan, the Clear Flood Dragon Clan, the Water Mirage Clan, the Cave Ghost Clan … The kings of the foreign races were killed by Ning Fan one after another. Their entire clans were annihilated. His name gradually spread among the low-grade foreign races of the eleven paths.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Fan's army had already reached the fifth pass – Vast Sect Pass.
There were only three Immortal Kings of the foreign races guarding this pass. Of course, they were not Ning Fan's match. Unfortunately, one of the three Immortal Kings was an expert in cursing techniques. Even though Ning Fan repeatedly reminded his subordinates to be careful, one of them was still killed by the curse …
Madam Shyflower is dead …
That evil woman who had once invited Ning Fan to the cabin of her battle boat in a debauched manner had now become a cold corpse with her eyes wide open …
Ning Fan did not like Madam Shyflower's debauchery. However, he still felt some respect for her death in the battlefield.
Venerated Dragon who only had his primordial spirit left and Wanderer Jin Feng who was severely injured wore a sad look on their faces. Both of them had been Madam Shyflower's gigolo during their journey. Even though it was just for show, it was inevitable for them to feel sad for her death.
Today, Madam Shyflower was killed by the enemy's secret technique due to a moment of carelessness.
In the future, if the foreign races try to ambush them again, the two of them would probably survive until the end …
It would be a lie to say that they were not afraid of death. Who in the world would not be afraid of death? However … they could not run away from it. All they could do was to brace themselves and continue fighting.
If everyone runs away, who is going to guard the border river? Who is going to protect the Eastern Heaven?
"I have a presumptuous request. I hope you can agree to it."
"Hmm?"
"If I die in the border river like Fellow Daoist Shyflower, I hope you can bring my natal magic treasure back to the Eastern Heaven and give it to my descendants."
"… Alright."
"I also have a request. If I die, I hope you can pass this letter to my younger brother. Tell him that I won't be attending the Immortal Sect Flower Gathering next year … "
"… Alright."
Ning Fan did not refuse the requests of the cultivators under him. At this time and place, it was no longer important whether the Eastern Heaven cultivators had any grudges against each other in the past. Those who had the same hatred against the enemy were all fellow soldiers. That was all.
In Guang Zong Pass, there were also broken bones that needed to be collected, insect eggs that needed to be cleaned and many formation marks that needed to be repaired.
Ning Fan's group had to stay in Guang Zong Pass for a few days to rest and reorganize.
One day passed.
Two days passed.
Before the reconstruction of Guang Zong Pass was completed, there was suddenly a huge ray of seven-colored light that came from the direction of the border river. It was the color of luck that only Immortal Emperors had.
Judging from the aura, there wasn't just one Celestial Emperor, but several of them!
All the cultivators were shocked. They only knew that several Immortal Emperors of the foreign races had come to attack this time. All of them felt cold.
What surprised them was that the ones who came this time were not Immortal Emperors of the foreign races. Instead, they were the Immortal Emperors of the alliance.
The main commander, Thunder Immortal True Monarch, Fairy Yu Hua and Great Emperor of Creation. Three Immortal Emperors had arrived!
As soon as the three Immortal Emperors arrived at Guang Zong Pass, all the cultivators of the Eastern Heaven stopped what they were doing and came out to welcome them.
Among the three Immortal Emperors, Thunder Immortal True Monarch had the highest position. Naturally, he was the leader. With a gloomy face, he ignored the greetings of the cultivators and directly walked towards Ning Fan. As soon as he saw Ning Fan, he did not exchange any pleasantries and directly asked him a question in a deep voice.
"Brat! Do you know that you have made a huge mistake?! "
Brat … It was quite rude to use such a title in front of his peers. Even though Ning Fan was just an Immortal Venerate, the people of the world had already regarded him as an equal to an Immortal Emperor. This Thunder Immortal True Monarch spoke like a brat. He did not conceal the hostility in his words at all.
Ning Fan's hand that was halfway through his greeting stiffened slightly. He withdrew his hand and frowned. Then, he asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. "Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist Thunder Immortal? I don't know what kind of huge mistake I have made. "
"Humph! Didn't you order your men to ask for credit from Taiyuan Du just now? Why don't you remember what mistake you have made now?! "
"The huge mistake that Fellow Daoist mentioned, is it … referring to the matter of me capturing an Immortal Emperor of a foreign race?" Ning Fan's frown deepened and he asked.
"That's right! Do you know what kind of existence you have just captured?! That is one of the sixteen princes of the Dragon Horse Race! You have already pierced through the sky of eleven paths. In a few days, there will be a few other princes of the Dragon Horse Race coming to hunt you down. Your death is near but you don't know it. How foolish! "
Oh? There will be a few princes of the Dragon Horse Race coming to hunt me down? How did you know about this in advance? Could it be …?
Even though Ning Fan did not like Thunder Immortal True Monarch's superior tone, he was too lazy to argue with him for the sake of the big picture. His gaze shifted to Fairy Yu Hua's beautiful face which was filled with frost. Then, his gaze fell on the Machinist Emperor who was wearing a bitter smile.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Machinist is proficient in the Dao of Divination. Today, I see that it is indeed true. You can even predict that I am going to be hunted down soon. You are really impressive."
Seeing that Ning Fan did not get into a fight with Thunder Immortal True Monarch on the spot, the Machinist Emperor let out a sigh of relief and said with a bitter smile. "That's right. It is indeed me who predicted this and I have reported this matter to the alliance lord and the others. Fellow Daoist, please don't blame Fellow Daoist Thunder Immortal for being rude. We have actually come here with good intentions. We are here to save you under the alliance lord's order. "
The Machinist Emperor told Ning Fan the whole story. Only then did Ning Fan understand the whole story.
On the day when he had captured Long Qi's true spirit, a few of his subordinates had reported this matter to the Taiyuan Ferry in order to claim credit.
When the news reached their headquarters, Emperor Cang and the others who were in charge of the Taiyuan Ferry were naturally overjoyed. They immediately reported this matter to the deputy generals of the other waterways to boost their morale.
At first, the deputy generals who were in charge of attacking the other waterways were overjoyed when they heard the news. After all, it was the first time an immortal emperor of a foreign race was captured alive since the beginning of the alliance meeting. It was really satisfying. As for Ning Fan who was the first to do it, he even received praises from many immortal emperors.
However, when the Machinist Emperor heard this news, his heart skipped a beat. He had an inexplicable ominous feeling.
He immediately performed a technique to deduce the whole story. What he did shocked him greatly. He even predicted that Ning Fan would be besieged by five Dragon Horse Immortal Emperors.
As an ally, the Machinist Emperor naturally would not ignore Ning Fan's danger. He immediately reported this matter to the Taiyuan Ferry.
After that, Emperor Cang and the others could no longer sit still!
One should know that the foreign races had yet to launch a large-scale attack. The number of immortal emperors of the foreign races on the water surface could be counted with one's fingers. Even the third, sixth and ninth waterways which were heavily guarded by the foreign races only had one or two immortal emperors guarding one of the waterways. Five immortal emperors coming out of the water at the same time had never happened before!
Everyone knew how powerful Ning Fan was. He had once used the cross-shaped halos to suppress the three emperors of the secret races during the Emperor Conferring Ceremony. However, the ones besieging Ning Fan this time were not three emperors but five! Moreover, since they came for revenge, they must have come prepared. Ning Fan was likely to be at a disadvantage or even lose his life on the spot …
Be it for official or personal reasons, Divine Emperor Cang did not want Ning Fan's life to be in danger. Thus, he immediately sent the Machine Creation Sovereign who was attacking the fourth path, Fairy Yu Hua who was attacking the seventh path and Thunder Immortal True Monarch who was guarding the Taiyuan Crossing to save Ning Fan.
Normally, one could only move freely on the waterway of the Realm River using a battle boat. However, Phoenix Emperor Chong Ming did not use a battle boat in the past. Instead, he relied on his heaven-defying deduction ability to travel freely on the Realm River.
The Machinist Emperor was not inferior to Phoenix Emperor Chong Ming in this aspect. Even though he was not the strongest among all the emperors, he was one of the few who could travel freely on the Realm River.
That was also the reason why Emperor Cang sent the Machinist Emperor to accompany him. With the Machinist Emperor's help, the other emperors did not need to ride on a battle boat which was as slow as a turtle's crawl.
After knowing the whole story, Ning Fan's initial dissatisfaction towards Thunder Immortal True Monarch also dissipated.
He could tell the difference between good and bad.
Even though the other party's attitude was arrogant, they came to save him with good intentions. Even if their words were slightly inappropriate, it was not unforgivable.
Inwardly, he felt a little warm because Emperor Cang and the Machinist Emperor cared about him.
The fact that the five Dragon Horse Immortal Emperors came to hunt him down naturally did not scare Ning Fan. He had even fought against more than ten immortal emperors of the Dark Race before. Why would he be afraid of just five immortal emperors?
Especially at this moment, when he already knew that the other party was coming to attack him in advance, he would not be ambushed by them and he would not be afraid of the five immortal emperors.
However, it was difficult for him to tell the Machinist Emperor and the others.
Could he just tell them that he was not afraid of the five immortal emperors and that he could still defeat them even if there were more than ten of them?
Wouldn't that sound too arrogant? It would easily make people feel disgusted. Even though Ning Fan did have the confidence to be arrogant …
Thunder Immortal True Monarch came to save Ning Fan under orders, not to help him fight.
They wanted to bring Ning Fan and the others back to Taiyuan Ferry safely and temporarily give up on conquering the eleventh waterway.
Ning Fan was not afraid of the encirclement of the five immortal emperors but it did not mean that ordinary people would not be afraid. Even existences like Emperor Cang did not dare to be encircled by the five immortal emperors, let alone ordinary immortal emperors.
The Machinist Emperor and the others repeatedly advised Ning Fan to withdraw his troops and temporarily return to Taiyuan Ferry to recuperate and avoid the sharpness of the five immortal emperors.
Ning Fan politely declined the advice of the three emperors. When Thunder Immortal True Monarch saw that his persuasion was futile, he angrily brought out the order of Emperor Cang.
"Lord Alliance Lord has given an order – If the situation is unfavorable, the eleven armies must immediately withdraw to Taiyuan Ferry without any delay! Ning Fan, are you thinking of disobeying our lord's order?! "
"Our lord has said that we must only withdraw the eleven armies if the situation is unfavorable. However, in my opinion, what we are doing now is not disadvantageous at all. You might not believe it but I have the confidence to deal with the five immortal emperors. I dare not say that I will definitely win but I have one hundred percent confidence that I can make them retreat. " Out of consideration for the Machinist Emperor and the others, Ning Fan did not say that he could beat the crap out of the five immortal emperors. He only said that he could force them to retreat.
Even so, Thunder Immortal and the others still believed that Ning Fan was being arrogant and conceited.
"Military orders must be obeyed. Even if I have to delay, I will drag you back to Taiyuan Ferry!"
Thunder Immortal True Monarch's eyes turned cold. He raised his hand and shot a ray of lightning at Ning Fan. The lightning ray turned into a rope, trying to tie Ning Fan up.
However, Ning Fan just casually waved his sleeve and shattered all of Thunder Immortal True Monarch's lightning. He smiled without saying a word.
Thunder Immortal True Monarch was inwardly shocked. He did not expect Ning Fan to be able to block his attack so easily. Even if he had held back in his attack, it should not have been like this …
If it were other Sixth Tribulation Immortal Emperors, they would not be able to do it so easily. After all, he was an unrivalled existence among the Sixth Tribulation Immortal Emperors.
"My lady, help me!" Thunder Immortal True Monarch said indifferently to Fairy Yu Hua who was beside him. There was not a single hint of sweetness or tenderness in his voice.
Fairy Yu Hua, on the other hand, maintained her sweet smile. However, that smile somehow gave Ning Fan a stiff and fake feeling.
Fairy Yu Hua opened her cherry lips and breathed out a mouthful of unknown red mist towards Thunder Immortal True Monarch.
It was unknown what that red mist was. As soon as it came into contact with Thunder Immortal True Monarch's body, Thunder Immortal True Monarch's qi skyrocketed. His cultivation base actually rose to the Seventh Tribulation Immortal True Monarch within a short period of time!
Thunder Immortal True Monarch whose cultivation base had skyrocketed raised his hand again and struck out lightning rays to restrain Ning Fan. This time, he used all of his strength because he no longer dared to underestimate Ning Fan.
However, Ning Fan was still as calm as before. With just a wave of his hand and a flick of his sleeve, he shattered all of Thunder Immortal True Monarch's attacks.
Then, he smiled innocently. "Thank you for letting me win."
Thunder Immortal True Monarch instantly felt a little embarrassed.
After testing Ning Fan for a while, he had already found out the answer. Even if he uses all of his strength, he would not be able to restrain Ning Fan. Even if he uses all of his strength, he would not be able to restrain Ning Fan.
"Are you really determined to defend this Guang Zong Pass to your death and fight against the five emperors of the Dragon Horse?!" Thunder Immortal True Monarch said in a deep voice.
"That's right. I deeply appreciate everyone's good intention of coming all the way here to help me. However, since I'm in charge of the strategy of the eleven routes, I'm not willing to return the pass that I have already conquered to the foreign races. If they want to fight, I'll just wait for them here. Of course, you guys don't have the responsibility to conquer this route. You don't have to stay here and take the risk with me … "
"Nonsense! How are you going to fight against five immortal emperors of the foreign races with your strength alone?! "
Thunder Immortal True Monarch shook his head continuously with an expression that said he was incompetent. In the end, he let out a long sigh and said.
"Forget it! Forget it! Since we're all here for the alliance, I can't just watch you die here. I'll stay here and help you fight against the five emperors of the Dragon Horse for once. However, I'll be frank with you first. If things don't work out, you must listen to my arrangements. Immediately retreat from the battlefield and follow me back to the Taiyuan Crossing! You … can't do it! "
Ning Fan was stunned.
He thought that given Thunder Immortal True Monarch's arrogance, he would definitely leave in a huff once he disobeys him.
Even though this person was arrogant, he was able to consider the overall situation. He could endure the displeasure in his heart and help a person he disliked to guard the pass. Well, he could not be said to have no merits …
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist. If things don't work out, I certainly won't stay here foolishly and let them kill me. Even though I don't stick to a single pattern, I'm not a person without a plan. If I don't have a certain level of confidence, I won't seek my own death. "
"Humph! I hope so! "
In that case, even though Thunder Immortal True Monarch was dissatisfied, he still stayed behind to help Ning Fan guard the pass.
The news that the five emperors of the Dragon Horse were going to attack soon spread across the entire Vast Sect Pass.
For a moment, no one could remain calm anymore. Even if they had three immortal emperors and Ning Fan on their side, the other party had five immortal emperors! At the end of the day, they were still at a disadvantage …
Dark clouds shrouded everyone's hearts. In the entire pass, Ning Fan was the only one who could sit in the sky thoughtlessly and comprehend and cultivate on his own.
On the third day.
On the fourth day.
On this day, five massive vortexes suddenly appeared on the surface of the river in Vast Sect Pass. Between heaven and earth, dark clouds gathered and wind and thunder rumbled!
The Thunder Immortal Dao Companion and Great Emperor Ji Wang who were meditating suddenly opened their eyes. Their eyes were filled with seriousness.
At the same time, five dragon roars and horse neighs that were filled with anger resounded between the water and the sky!
"Little brat with the surname Ning, die!"
The five emperors arrived at the same time. Their killing intent was matchless. All of a sudden, huge waves that connected to the heavens rose from the boundary river and drowned Vast Sect Pass …
