When Tan Xiu re-emerged from the Heavenly Abode artifact, he saw that the yellow-robed old man was seriously injured by Seaway Monarch's blow and was sent flying while spurting blood.
Seaway Monarch and Zenith Venerable were both mid-level Perfected Golden Immortals, one level higher than the eight Perfected Golden Immortals. Most importantly, the two of them had extremely rich combat experience. After hundreds of battles in the Convict Arena, they had long been tempered into fighting machines.
Although Star Tears was an early-level Perfected Golden Immortal, her combat experience was also extremely rich. In addition, Tan Xiu had given her a supreme-grade immortal sword. Therefore, the strength she displayed was also difficult for opponents of the same level to resist. Even when fighting against two Perfected Golden Immortals of the same level, she was still able to do it with ease.
The twenty late-level Golden Immortals were also experts who had experienced countless battles in the Convict Arena. If one of them fought against an early-level Perfected Golden Immortal, it might not be enough. However, the twenty of them joined forces and directly entangled four of the Perfected Golden Immortals.
"These people are so strong."
Apotheon Mu attacked one of the Perfected Golden Immortals. As the immortal artifact Nacre Radiance Fan continued to attack, the opponent was forced to retreat and his injuries worsened. At the same time, he was also able to spare a bit of energy to observe the fighting situation around him.
His strength was very strong. He had once obtained Tan Xiu's true inheritance, so his means were very heaven-defying. If he encountered a Perfected Golden Immortal of the same level, he could also suppress the opponent.
However …
He really couldn't figure out who these people were. The combat strength they possessed was simply ridiculously strong. Even the owner of a medium-sized Immortal Domain might not be able to have so many experts under his command, right?
Take the Immortal Lyceum for example.
The Immortal Lyceum was one of the large Immortal Domains in the entire Immortal World. The total strength it possessed was probably not much stronger than these people who came to help.
After an hour of fighting, the situation of the battle became more and more intense. The eight Perfected Golden Immortal generals under Zither Demon Jiuyao were all seriously injured. If they hadn't gathered together and joined forces to resist the besiegement of the crowd, perhaps some of them would have been killed.
Of course, Zenith Venerable, Seaway Monarch, and Star Tears also suffered serious injuries, but they were much better off compared to the eight generals under Zither Demon Jiuyao's command. As for the twenty late-stage Golden Immortal experts, four of them were heavily injured and had to retreat from the battle, while the rest were riddled with injuries as they attacked their opponents in a frenzy.
Swoosh …
Tang An's figure suddenly appeared next to Tan Xiu, but Battle Peng didn't return to Tan Xiu's side and directly joined the battle.
"Grand Master, it's done."
Tan Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Activate the grand array immediately. We must kill all eight Perfected Golden Immortals today."
"Let my master do it!"
Tang An handed a Crystal Marrow to Gu Yan 'er and whispered, "This Crystal Marrow is the core of this Immortal Array, Master. As long as you activate it, you'll be able to understand the secrets of this Feng Shui formation, and you'll be able to control it easily … "
Gu Yan 'er raised her hand to interrupt her and smilingly said, "I know how to arrange the Dragon Imprisoning Immortal Array, so it's not difficult for me to control it."
After saying that …
She injected her Immortal Force into the Crystal Marrow and immediately, eight golden runes flowed out like water and quickly spread in all directions. In just a few seconds, the entire space was shrouded by the eight water-like golden runes, while golden lines gradually formed under the ground.
"An Immortal Array?!"
The eyes of the eight generals under Zither Demon Jiuyao were filled with shock at the same time. They were the ones who chose this battlefield, so they couldn't figure out why there was a Feng Shui Immortal Array here. They could easily see that this was the Dragon Imprisoning Immortal Array, an extremely powerful trapping array in the Immortal World.
"Brothers, let's join forces to break this array!"
The yellow-robed old man, who was seriously injured and coughed up blood, roared and directly gave up the fierce attacks launched by the four Perfected Golden Immortals and bombarded the golden lines on the ground. At the same time, the other seven Perfected Golden Immortals also gave up most of their defenses and fiercely attacked the direction the yellow-robed old man was attacking.
Puff, puff, puff …
The three Perfected Golden Immortals were instantly killed by Seaway Monarch, Zenith Venerable, and Star Tears. Even the immortal weapons in their hands shattered the three's Immortal Souls.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even if the other five Perfected Golden Immortals were not killed in one blow, they still suffered serious injuries. Two of them even directly lost their ability to fight.
However …
The Dragon Imprisoning Immortal Array, which could withstand the full blow of a Perfected Golden Immortal, was directly broken by the simultaneous bombardment of eight Perfected Golden Immortals.
"Run!"
The red-robed old man's eyes revealed a crazed look. As he swallowed a pill, his aura soared in just a few seconds. Under the threat of being pierced by Star Tears in the abdomen, he sprayed a pool of blood and fled to the distance in a panic.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Another three Perfected Golden Immortals were killed while fleeing in panic. One of them was even directly killed by the joint attack of ten Golden Immortals.
In the end, the pursuit of millions of kilometers only caused more serious injuries to the two fleeing Perfected Golden Immortals, but failed to kill them completely.
"Master."
Seaway Monarch wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and came to Tan Xiu with a wry smile. He then said, "This subordinate is incompetent. I failed to capture all the enemies."
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes and lightly said, "The two fleeing Perfected Golden Immortals should've taken some kind of secret medicine, right? Zither Demon Jiuyao only has two kinds of secret medicines that can temporarily enhance one's strength but cause great damage to the body. One is the Bloodthirst Pill, and the other is the Chenjin Valley Venom. They just took pills, so I think it's the Bloodthirst Pill. "
Seaway Monarch and Zenith Venerable looked shocked because they were keenly aware that their Master seemed to know Zither Demon Jiuyao very well.
A strange light flashed in Star Tears' eyes and she suspiciously looked at Tan Xiu. Then, she turned to look at Apotheon Mu and asked with a hint of concern, "How are your injuries?"
Apotheon Mu shook his head, but his eyes never left Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu took out a healing elixir from his interspatial ring and handed it to everyone. Then, he said, "All of you, hurry up and heal yourselves.
We'll be leaving this place soon. "
After saying that, he looked at Apotheon Mu and lightly said, "Don't forget your promise. The Misty Spring Ocean is my territory from now on. You can choose to submit to me, or you can bring your people to submit to my Great Tang Empire. "
The Great Tang Empire?
Apotheon Mu had never heard of this name and quietly observed Tan Xiu. Although he vaguely felt a trace of familiarity, he still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. I can hand over the Misty Spring Ocean to you, but I'll never submit to you. I, Reverend Mu, will remember this life-saving grace in my heart. However, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to repay you in the future. "
Tan Xiu frowned and said, "Your injuries aren't fatal. You'll recover in half a year at most after taking a healing elixir. Therefore, you'll have plenty of opportunities to repay me. "
Apotheon Mu was silent for more than ten seconds. Finally, he shook his head with a bitter expression and said, "Since you know that I'm Star Cultivation Great Emperor's disciple, then you should know the grudge between me, Great Emperor Danqing, and Zither Demon Jiuyao. My four Martial Brothers are now imprisoned by Great Emperor Danqing in the Heavenly Mountain and are suffering cruel torture. Therefore, I must rescue them. I also know that my chances of surviving this time are less than one in ten thousand. "
Tan Xiu's pupils contracted and the killing intent in his heart skyrocketed. Then, he said in a deep voice, "You said that your four Martial Brothers are imprisoned by Great Emperor Danqing in the Heavenly Mountain?"
"Yes!"
Apotheon Mu nodded and replied.
"Who are these four?" asked Tan Xiu. "I've heard of Star Cultivation Great Emperor's disciples. Each of them is an outstanding talent in the Immortal World and their strength is not to be underestimated."
"They're Senior Brother Wanlai, Junior Brother Soaring Chong, Junior Brother Nine Immortal Fingers, and Junior Sister Enchantress," said Apotheon Mu.
Tan Xiu frowned and asked, "As far as I know, Star Cultivation Great Emperor doesn't only have disciples like you, right? You have so many Martial Brothers, so how come you're the only one going to rescue them alone? What about the others? Don't you know that you'll have a greater chance of winning if you join forces with them to rescue them? "
Apotheon Mu clenched his fists and killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Either die in battle or defect to the enemy."
Tan Xiu originally intended to tell Apotheon Mu about his identity and then thoroughly understand the situation in the Immortal World through him. But because of the rescue mission, he temporarily changed his mind and decided not to tell Apotheon Mu for the time being. But after hearing his words, Tan Xiu temporarily changed his mind and decided to give up.
Through this battle.
He understood that Apotheon Mu was loyal to him and would never betray him.
Tan Xiu waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, enter the Heavenly Abode artifact to recuperate. Don't come out without my summon."
"Understood."
Everyone nodded and threw themselves into the Heavenly Abode artifact, including Gu Yan 'er and Battle Peng.
Tan Xiu looked at Apotheon Mu and calmly said, "Take me to the Misty Spring Ocean! We need to have a good talk, and I think you'll agree to pledge allegiance to me. "
Apotheon Mu couldn't help laughing. He knew that Tan Xiu was too confident. He had already thrown caution to the wind and would never choose to pledge allegiance to anyone. As long as he could rescue his fellow brothers and find the Holy Dragon Fruit, he was willing to sacrifice himself.
Misty Spring Ocean.
Repose Cliff.
This was Apotheon Mu's Immortal Mansion, the place where he cultivated in seclusion all year round. As the wide gate slowly opened, Apotheon Mu took Tan Xiu and stepped into the Immortal Mansion on the cliff. Following his order, four maids brought fine wine and delicacies, as well as Immortal Fruits and snacks.
"I haven't asked your name yet, Mister?"
Apotheon Mu poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Tang Xiu, and then picked up the glass.
Tan Xiu put down the wine glass and slowly walked to a portrait hanging on the wall. Looking at the familiar face, his appearance began to change and soon became exactly the same as the owner of the painting on the wall.
"Young Apotheon Mu, do you still remember the Golden Lotus Secret Scroll?"
