Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan turned around and flew away.
With the Disguise Token in his hand, the phantasmagoric spirits did not attack him. Soon, he returned to the forest. Just as he was thinking about how he should explain his intentions to Ao Feng, he suddenly felt a violent surge of energy in the air.
Raising his head, he saw the metamorphosed Ao Feng clashing with a massive tiger in the sky.
"Hahaha, Ao Feng, it has only been a few days since we last met. Why have you become so weak? I advise you to admit defeat obediently so that you don't embarrass yourself! "
The tiger roared with laughter.
The two forces rippled continuously in the sky, like fireworks, flickering and flickering.
"A Conferred God King from the Sky of Adamantine Gold?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Most likely, the tiger was a Conferred God King from the Sky of Adamantine Gold. It was just that he had no idea why the two of them were fighting one another.
"You want me to admit defeat? Dream on!" Ao Feng roared furiously. Seemingly using some kind of secret art, his entire body glowed red as he charged toward the tiger once more.
Boom boom boom!
The two of them clashed with one another, 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 some matters to attend to, she did not follow him and left the mountain stream together with Ao Feng.
"This … What's going on? Why did they suddenly start fighting? "Zhang Xuan asked.
"As soon as we came out, we were intercepted by the Conferred God King Hu Xiao from the Sky of Adamantine Gold. He probably knew that there was Condensed Earth Essence here, so he intentionally waited for Conferred God King Ao Feng to enter the Lake of Adamantine Gold.
Luo Qiqi sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan.
"He stole it?" Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
The most frightening thing about the Flooding Sea was not the traps, spatial turbulence, or other dangerous places but the cultivators!
There were no rules in the Flooding Sea, so there were many people who would lie in wait for others to come to them. They would then make a move when others were in danger and snatch away the fruits of their labor.
Clearly, the Conferred God King Hu Xiao was such a person.
"If Conferred God King Ao Feng wasn't injured, he would have been no match for Hu Xiao, but now …" Luo Qiqi shook her head.
If he had not been injured by the phantasmagoric spirits, no matter how powerful Hu Xiao was, he would only be on par with Zhang Xuan. Yet, he was actually unable to retaliate at all.
Boom!
Not too long later, with a deafening sonic boom, Ao Feng plummeted from the sky. His massive body was riddled with wounds, and golden blood flowed freely from his wounds.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan collected the dragon blood.
The blood of a Conferred God King would fetch a hefty sum if he were to sell it.
"Hand over the Condensed Earth Essence..."
Hu Xiao reverted back to a middle-aged man and looked at Zhang Xuan coldly.
Ao Feng gritted his teeth.
"There are many Conferred God Kings who die in the Flooding Sea every single time. Don't you know what's good for you?" Hu Xiao harrumphed coldly as he took a step forward, causing the ground beneath him to tremble.
Knowing that the other party would really kill him for the treasure, Ao Feng had no choice but to hand over the Heaven's Path Spirit Essence.
Opening the jade container, Hu Xiao took a look at it and frowned. "Why is it so small?"
To be able to give birth to so many illusionary spirits, under normal circumstances, the Condensed Earth Essence should have been abundant. Why was it only the size of a soybean?
"It should have been lost. Anyway, when I got it, there was only this much …"
Ao Feng did not reveal the identity of Zhang Xuan.
"Lost?"
Hu Xiao's eyebrows shot up as he stowed the Condensed Earth Essence into his storage ring. After which, he turned to Ao Feng and said, "Since there's only this much left, I'll make up for it with what you have obtained."
After saying those words, he flicked his wrist, and the storage ring on Ao Feng's finger flew over.
Zhang Xuan took a look at it, and a moment later, his lips curled up. "Not bad. It seems like you haven't been slacking after entering the Flooding Sea. Alright, these are all mine now."
After saying those words, Zhang Xuan clenched the storage ring tightly in his hand.
Since he had already taken it, there was no reason for him to leave anything behind.
While the items in Hu Xiao's 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 him in his cultivation.
"You …"
Seeing that everything had been taken away by Hu Xiao, Ao Feng clenched his jaws tightly. He wanted to say something, but he was unable to find the words to say.
In the past Floods of Spiritual Energy, there had been quite a few Conferred God Kings who had fallen. If he were to fight Hu Xiao head-on, there was a good chance that Hu Xiao would be able to kill him.
Thus, he could only endure it.
As long as he was alive, there was 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'm afraid of the Sky of Cloud Dragon, so I wouldn't dare to kill Ao Feng unless there's a huge benefit in front of me. However, the rest of you are different. 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 members, and Ao Feng was a Conferred God King of the Sky of Cloud Dragon. If there was a huge benefit in front of him, there was no need for him to kill Hu Xiao.
If Ao Feng was like that, the God Kings were different.
Even if the God Monarchs learned that a Conferred God King had killed a few God Kings, they would not go after him.
The strong preyed on the weak. If they could not even kill God Kings, what was the point of being a Conferred God King?
Seeing that the pressure on Hu Xiao was growing stronger and stronger, the severely injured God Kings could not help but feel indignant. However, there was nothing they could do.
Before they were injured, they would run as far as they could as soon as they heard the news. But now that they were severely injured, there was nothing they could do.
If they did not hand over their belongings, there was a good chance that Hu Xiao would kill them all!
God Kings were lofty existences in the outside world, but in the Flooding Sea, they were nothing.
"Here …"
"This is all I have gathered."
Soon, the God Kings handed over their storage rings to Hu Xiao.
Looking at his harvest, Hu Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, a God King suddenly walked up to him and said, "Conferred God King Hu Xiao, as long as you don't take the treasures I have gathered, I'm willing to serve you and tell you everything that happened in the mountain stream."
"Serve you? That's not entirely impossible, but I'll have to see if the information you offer is valuable enough to exchange for your treasures and your life, "Conferred God King Hu Xiao replied.
"You'll be satisfied …" A glint flashed across the God King Hu Xiao's eyes as he turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "It's that fellow who arrived before the Condensed Earth Essence earlier. The Condensed Earth Essence was only the size of a fist, but as soon as he entered, it shrunk to this size. If there's a problem with the Condensed Earth Essence, it must have something to do with him …"
The young man before him clearly had the strength to deal with the phantasmagoric spirits, but he had allowed them to get injured and run into the barrier of light to steal the Condensed Earth Essence. To be honest, he had long found the young man an eyesore.
Not only would he be able to teach the young man a lesson, but he would also be able to avoid being robbed.
"You stole the Condensed Earth Essence?"
Hearing that the Condensed Earth Essence was actually the size of a fist, Hu Xiao's eyes immediately narrowed as he glared at Zhang Xuan coldly.
If he could obtain such a large amount of Condensed Earth Essence and offer it to the God Monarchs, he would surely be able to benefit greatly from it.
