Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan turned around and flew away.
With the disguise amulet, the rampaging phantasmagoric spirits did not attack him. Soon, he was back at the edge of the forest. Just as he was thinking about how he should express his intentions to Ao Feng so as to appease the latter, he suddenly felt a violent surge of energy in the air.
Raising his head, he saw Ao Feng fighting intensely with a ferocious tiger in the air.
"Haha, Ao Feng, it has only been a few days since we last met. How did you become so weak? I advise you to admit defeat obediently so that you don't embarrass yourself! "
The ferocious tiger roared with laughter.
The two forces continued to ripple in the sky like fireworks, flickering and extinguishing indefinitely.
"A Conferred God King from the Sky of Adamantine Gold?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Most likely, the ferocious tiger was a Conferred God King from the Sky of Adamantine Gold, but for some reason, the two of them were fighting.
"You want me to admit defeat? Dream on!" Ao Feng roared furiously. Seemingly using some kind of secret art, his entire body turned crimson as he charged at the ferocious tiger once more.
Boom boom boom!
The two of them clashed fiercely, causing spatial rifts to appear one after another in the air.
"Zhang Shi!"
Luo Qiqi walked up to Zhang Xuan.
Knowing that Zhang Xuan had something to do, she chose to leave the mountain stream with Ao Feng so as not to drag him down.
"This … What's going on? Why are they fighting? "Zhang Xuan asked.
"As soon as we came out, we were stopped by Conferred God King Hu Xiao from the Sky of Adamantine Gold. He probably knows that there's a Condensed Earth Essence here, so he intentionally waited for Conferred God King Ao Feng to enter the Tide of Adamantine Gold.
Luo Qiqi replied telepathically.
"Conferred God King Ao Feng?" Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
The most frightening thing about the Flooding Sea was not the traps, spatial rifts, or other dangerous places … Rather, it was the cultivators!
There were no rules in the Flooding Sea. For the sake of treasures, there were many who would wait patiently for others to enter the Flooding Sea before making a move.
Clearly, the Conferred God King Hu Xiao was such a person.
"If Conferred God King Ao Feng wasn't injured, he wouldn't have been a match for Hu Xiao, but his mind …" Luo Qiqi's mind.
If he hadn't been seriously injured by the Phantom's attack, no matter how powerful this Hu Xiao was, he would at most be on par with him. But now, he was suppressing him and had no ability to fight back. Defeat was inevitable.
Boom!
Not long after, a sonic boom rang out, and Ao Feng fell from the sky. His huge body was covered in wounds, and golden blood flowed out of them, creating craters in the ground.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan collected the dragon blood.
The dragon blood of a Conferred God King could fetch a hefty price in the market.
"Hand over the Condensed Earth Essence …"
Hu Xiao turned back into a middle-aged man and looked over coldly.
Ao Feng clenched his teeth.
"Many Conferred God Kings die in the Flooding Sea every single time. Don't be so stubborn," Hu Xiao harrumphed coldly as he took a step forward.
Knowing that the other party was willing to kill him for the sake of the treasure, Ao Feng had no choice but to hand over the Spirit Essence that he had collected previously.
Opening the jade box, Hu Xiao took a look inside and frowned. "Why is it so small?"
Given how it was able to birth so many phantasmagoric spirits, there should be a huge amount of Condensed Earth Essence in it. Why would it only be the size of a soybean?
"It should have been lost. In any case, I only had this much when I obtained it …"
Ao Feng didn't mention Zhang Xuan.
"Lost?"
Hu Xiao's eyebrows shot up as he stowed the Condensed Earth Essence into his storage ring. Then, he turned to Ao Feng once more and said, "Since that's all you have left, you should make up for it with what you obtained!"
After saying those words, Hu Xiao flicked his wrist, and the storage ring on Ao Feng's finger flew over.
Hu Xiao flicked his wrist lightly as he lowered his head to take a look. A moment later, his lips curled up as he said, "Not bad. It seems like you haven't been slacking off after entering the Flooding Sea. These are all mine."
After saying those words, Hu Xiao clenched the storage ring tightly.
Since he had already snatched it, there was no reason for him to leave anything behind.
While the items in the storage ring were not as valuable as the Condensed Earth Essence, there were still quite a few of them that would be of great help to his cultivation.
"You …"
Ao Feng clenched his jaws tightly. He wanted to say something, but he found himself at a loss for words.
Many Conferred God Kings would die in the Flooding Sea of Spiritual Energy. Given the current situation, there was a good chance that the other party would be able to kill him.
He could only swallow his pride.
Where there is life, there is hope.
"The rest of you should hand over your belongings as well."
After taking away all of Ao Feng's belongings, Hu Xiao turned to the other God Kings and said, "I was afraid that the Sky of Cloud Dragon would be too protective of Ao Feng, so I didn't dare to kill him unless there was a huge profit to be made. However, it's different for the rest of you. If you don't want to die, hurry up!"
Hu Xiao's voice was laced with threat.
The Sky of Cloud Dragon had always been protective of its own people, and Ao Feng was a Conferred God King. If there was a huge profit to be made, there was a good chance that the other party would kill him. Since Hu Xiao had already handed over his belongings obediently, there was no need for him to kill him.
Ao Feng was like that, but the other Godkings were different.
Even if the God Monarchs were to learn of the matter, they would not dare to make trouble for a Conferred God King!
This was the law of the jungle. If even God Kings could not be killed, what was the point of being a Conferred God King?
Seeing how Hu Xiao was exerting more and more pressure on them, as if he was going to make a move at any moment, the severely injured God Kings could not help but feel indignant. However, there was nothing they could do.
Before they were injured, they would have run as far as they could upon hearing the news. However, now that they were severely injured, there was nothing they could do.
If they did not hand over their belongings, they might really be wiped out!
God Kings were lofty figures in the outside world, but in the Flooding Sea, they were nothing at all.
"Here!"
"That's all I have."
It did not take long for the God Kings to hand over their storage rings.
Hu Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, a God King suddenly walked up to him and said with gritted teeth, "Conferred God King Hu Xiao, as long as you don't take away the treasures I have collected, I'm willing to submit to you and tell you what happened in the mountain stream!"
"Submit to you? That's not impossible, but it depends on whether the information you provide is valuable enough to exchange for the treasures in your hands and your life! "Hu Xiao replied.
"You'll be satisfied," the God King replied. He turned around and pointed to Zhang Xuan. "That fellow was the one who arrived before the Condensed Earth Essence. Previously, the Condensed Earth Essence was around the size of a fist, but as soon as he entered, it shrunk to its original size. If there's something wrong with it, it must have something to do with it."
The fellow before him clearly had the strength to deal with the phantasmagoric spirits, but he allowed them to get injured so that he could sneak into the light barrier and steal the Condensed Earth Essence. To be honest, he had long found the other party an eyesore.
This was a good opportunity to teach the other party a lesson and prevent the Condensed Earth Essence from being stolen. Naturally, he would not let this opportunity slip by.
"You stole the Condensed Earth Essence?"
Hearing that the Condensed Earth Essence was around the size of a fist, Hu Xiao narrowed his eyes coldly as he glared at Zhang Xuan.
If he could obtain such a huge Condensed Earth Essence and offer it to the God Monarchs, he would surely be able to reap great benefits from it.
