The White Emperor spoke with assurance.
"Whatever the Four Supremes can do, the Ten Temples of the Great Void and the Divine Palace Warriors can do. Ming Xin wants all the cultivators in the Great Void to know that he's more capable than the Godfiend. Look at how obedient the Four Great Supremes are in Ming Xin's hands. "
Jiang Aijian did not expect this. He chuckled and said, "Now that you mention it, Your Majesty White Emperor, it's true. They're really obedient. "
"Obedience is just a facade."
The White Emperor scoffed and said disapprovingly, "Ming Xin is the same as you. They both have a fatal weakness."
Jiang Aijian, "?"
"He's overconfident and conceited," the White Emperor said.
"I don't agree with you." Jiang Aijian smiled and said, "Confidence comes from strength. I have the right to be confident … However, those who don't know me would think that I'm conceited. Some people are destined to be frogs at the bottom of a well. They can't see the vastness of the stars, the sun, and the moon. They think that everything bigger than the opening of the well is a result of 'conceited' imagination. "
When the White Emperor heard this, he chuckled and said, "Are you mocking me?"
"I wouldn't dare. I believe you agree with me, White Emperor," Jiang Aijian said.
The White Emperor was not angered by this. He merely sighed and said, "You're indeed capable. I believe that you're not conceited."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty White Emperor," Jiang Aijian said.
"Since you insist on leaving, I won't keep you … When you return to the Great Void, be careful of the Four Supremes, especially Hua Zhenghong," the White Emperor said.
Then, the White Emperor took out the Hourglass of Time and handed it to Jiang Aijian.
Jiang Aijian looked at the Hourglass of Time and cupped his fists at the White Emperor.
He looked around at the green mountains and clear waters, the blue sky, and the white clouds. He let out a long sigh and leaped into the sky, leaving the Lost Island.
Jiang Aijian flew for about 15 minutes but had yet to reach the reef where the passage was. He turned back to look at the Lost Island.
The Lost Island had become a single line.
He did not stop. Just as he was about to continue flying, he heard an oppressive voice.
"Temple Head Seven Lives, please come with us."
"Hm?"
When Jiang Aijian looked up, he saw about a dozen cultivators in green armor.
He didn't sense the other party's aura or movement. It was obvious that they had been lying in ambush here for some time.
"Holy Temple Warriors?" Jiang Aijian said with a smile, "Did His Majesty the Emperor send you?"
These were cultivators in azure armor, precisely the Templars from the Holy Temple. They were established a hundred thousand years ago, and they were originally under Ming Xin's personal command. Later on, they were scattered among the four great supreme beings. Over the past ten years, most of his missions were limited to patrolling, and he rarely took action.
It was said that there was no lack of experts among the Templars. They were personally trained by Ming Xin and could almost be considered his disciples. Perhaps because she didn't want to walk the path of the Demon God, Ming Xin never accepted disciples. But no matter what, in the eyes of the Great Void Temple, other than the Four Great Supremes, the Temple Warriors were the true representatives of the temple.
The leader of the Holy Palace Warriors was called Xi Zhong. He was one of the few experts among the Holy Palace Warriors. Other than the four Supremes, he was the only cultivator who could talk to Emperor Darkheart.
Xizhong said expressionlessly, "You don't need to know the reason. Just follow us."
Jiang Aijian shook his head.
"By the will of the Great Emperor, I have completed the selection of the Palace Head Battle. There are more important matters to attend to, so I can't go with you."
Xi Zhong frowned and said, "Palace Head Seven Lives, my words are the Great Emperor's will."
"Oh?"
Jiang Aijian looked at Xi Zhong and said, "However, my instincts tell me that's not the case."
"It doesn't matter." Xi Zhong seemed to have expected that the other party wouldn't comply, so he waved his hand.
Sou Sou Sou.
More than ten Holy Temple Warriors landed and surrounded Jiang Aijian.
Jiang Aijian said with a smile, "If the Emperor finds out about this, how will he punish you?"
Xi Zhong said, "There is no need for Palace Head Sevenlives to worry about this."
"No, no, no." Jiang Aijian shook his head and said, "You've violated two taboos."
Xi Zhong remained unmoved. More than a dozen Temple Guardians approached him.
They knew that Palace Head Seven Lives had a profound cultivation base, so they did not dare to be careless. They acted cautiously as well.
"First, you're the Great Emperor's most trusted aides. No matter who you've been tricked by, he'll be severely punished. Second, you don't understand the importance of the Palace Head Battle to the Great Emperor. To put it bluntly, your lives can't compare to this."
Xi Zhong knew that Seven Lives was a smooth talker. He had mentally prepared himself to ignore whatever Seven Lives said. However, Seven Lives' words infuriated him. His eyes burned with rage.
"Attack." Xi Zhong waved his hand.
The Holy Temple Warriors charged at Jiang Aijian in the form of more than a dozen meteors. They were determined to take down Jiang Aijian as soon as possible.
Jiang Aijian was baffled.
'They're really coming?'
Jiang Aijian immediately descended!
"You can't escape!"
More than a dozen energy seals converged.
Jiang Aijian was only in the Dao Saint Realm. He could usually protect himself, but he had no chance of winning against so many Holy Temple Warriors and the elite Xi Zhong.
He had no choice but to flee.
He dodged more than a dozen energy seals as he sped toward the Lost Island.
As long as he returned to the White Emperor's side, he would be safe.
"Eh?"
Xi Zhong frowned slightly. He looked at Jiang Aijian's back, slightly puzzled. "Strange."
The dozen Holy Temple Warriors were not to be trifled with. They swiftly followed Jiang Aijian.
Creak!
A tear appeared in the space in front of them.
The dozen Holy Temple Warriors each held a Formation Flag. They waved it.
"Space-type Formation Flags?" Jiang Aijian was shocked.
'This is bad. How am I supposed to escape?'
Xi Zhong's figure flashed and appeared above Jiang Aijian. He looked down and said, "Temple Master Seven Lives, you have nowhere to run."
Jiang Aijian said with a smile, "It's too early to say that."
Zing!
An energy sword shot out and split into countless energy swords that swept out in all directions.
"Sword technique?" Xi Zhong was even more confused. He scoffed. "I've overestimated you. Get into formation. "
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Divine Temple Warriors turned into shadows, and the space within a ten-mile radius was like a domain they had set up. They could move as they pleased, and in an instant, they occupied ten different positions. A space-time crack that looked like a door appeared in front of each of them.
The Formation Flags had locked onto their positions.
The energy swords were easily devoured by the dimensional rifts and vanished without a trace.
Jiang Aijian. "…"
'What the f * ck! They're that powerful?!'
The Holy Temple Warriors swiftly unleashed beams of light.
The beams of light seemed to form a line as they shot through the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Jiang Aijian dodged to the left and right.
The more Xi Zhong watched, the more puzzled he became. He said, "Temple Master Seven Lives, if your subordinate can defeat a beastmaster, I'm sure your strength is far above his. Don't hide it anymore. The price of underestimating a Holy Temple Warrior is high. "
Jiang Aijian cursed inwardly. If he could bring it out, he would have done so a long time ago. Why would he wait until now?
He continued to dodge the beams of light.
It was difficult for normal vision to capture his shadow in this space.
The beams of light shot back and forth faster and faster.
Bam!
Finally, one of the beams of light struck Jiang Aijian's chest.
Jiang Aijian's Qi and blood immediately surged. The power of the law caused his consciousness to tremble. It was as though someone had extracted his heart. It was clearly different from the sensation of a low-ranked battle. It was excruciating.
Xi Zhong shook his head. "I don't understand. Why would the emperor favor you when you're so powerful? The Void Seed in your body? “
Bam!
Another beam of light struck Jiang Aijian.
Jiang Aijian grunted in pain.
He could not go on like this.
He had to leave.
Just when one of the beams of light was about to hit him, Jiang Aijian raised Dragonsong, which he was most proud of, before him.
With a loud bang, Jiang Aijian reeled back. At the same time, he turned around and unleashed his Dao power. He turned around and slashed with Dragonsong, creating a rift in the air.
Just when he saw an opportunity, Xi Zhong's voice reached him quietly. "Too slow."
Crack!
Xi Zhong struck with his palm and shattered the rift.
The shockwave stirred up the seawater and filled the air.
Xi Zhong's figure flickered again. "Alas, I'm in a hurry. I can't play with you anymore."
Xi Zhong made his move. He passed through the beams of light as though he was leaping through space. He did not touch the beams of light and arrived before Jiang Aijian. Energy seals wrapped around his palm as he grabbed at Jiang Aijian.
At this critical moment.
Jiang Aijian produced a blue object from his pocket and clenched his fist. "Stop right there!"
Crackle!
The blue object exploded with powerful arcs of electricity that spread into the surroundings.
Xi Zhong blurted out hoarsely, "Hourglass of Time?"
The blue object instantly froze the templars in place.
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Aijian flew toward the Lost Island.
With his Dao Saint realm, it was rare enough that he could activate the Hourglass of Time for two seconds. However, those two seconds were more than enough for him to escape.
Jiang Aijian flashed several times in two seconds and escaped the binding space of the formation flags. He flew at full speed.
Xi Zhong recovered his time. He glanced at the empty space and the light in the distance before he ordered, "Take him down no matter what!"
"Understood!"
The dozen templars seemed to have gone mad. They turned into meteors and shot toward Jiang Aijian.
Xi Zhong was the fastest. He had been using the power of space the entire time to shorten the distance between them.
Jiang Aijian turned around to look. He gripped the Hourglass of Time tightly again and thought to himself, 'Damn, why are these lackeys fighting so hard?!'
If it weren't for the Hourglass of Time, he would have been finished.
At the same time, he regretted his carelessness. Bai Di had warned him to be careful of Hua Zhenghong, but he still ran into them on his way back.
"Hua Zhenghong?" Jiang Aijian remembered this person. He turned around and asked, "Did Hua Zhenghong send you?"
"You'd better give yourself up."
Xi Zhong's speed was unparalleled. By the time his voice reached Jiang Aijian, he was already in the air.
He aimed his palm downward, intending to take Jiang Aijian down with a single move.
When the powerful Daoist power was about to land on Jiang Aijian, the seawater began to surge.
Crash — —
'Hm?'
The seawater suddenly surged and swept 10,000 feet into the sky at lightning speed.
Jiang Aijian was swiftly swallowed by the seawater. The palm seal was miraculously swallowed when it struck the thick seawater.
Then, the seawater surged backward. It ignored the templars' spatial power and sent them flying! Bam!
Bam! Bam!
The templars summoned their avatars.
They defended themselves against the sudden attack of seawater and the mysterious power.
The templars retreated for a long time before the seawater subsided.
Xi Zhong glared at the sea and looked into the distance. He asked sternly, "Who's there?!"
A deep and powerful voice rang from the depths of the sea. "You're not welcome here. Scram."
Xi Zhong looked at the sea. He did not know what it was. He thought it must be a mysterious and powerful oceanic beast. He said, "His Majesty has always had dealings with kun. The Endless Ocean in the east is the kun's territory. Who are you?"
"I'll say it again. Scram." The deep voice in the sea was merciless.
Xi Zhong's expression was extremely grave.
Who could it be?
Even kun did not dare to make an enemy of Emperor Darkheart. Who would have the guts to do so?
After thinking for a moment, Xi Zhong warned, "Emperor Darkheart has ordered us to bring Temple Master Sevenlives back."
Whoosh, whoosh … The surface of the sea began to bubble like crazy.
Xi Zhong's words seemed to have angered the templars.
Xi Zhong raised his hand. "Fall back."
The templars retreated and flew higher.
