After saying that, Tan Xiu no longer paid attention to them and quickly walked outside with Sablefiend Scorpio. Just as they were about to reach the other end of the long bridge, dozens of figures instantly arrived and blocked the two of them at the bridgehead.
"Hand over your interspatial rings! Else today will be the day you two die tragically!" shouted a late-stage Perfected Golden Immortal with a chilling glint in his eyes.
A faint smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth as he said, "Do you think we'll be afraid of you thieves since we dared to come out from there openly and aboveboard? I'm not afraid to tell you that you can't do anything to us even if your numbers and strength are a hundred times stronger. Let me give you a word of advice. Don't provoke us, else you'll end up miserable. "
The late-stage Perfected Golden Immortal looked disdainful and said, "Even Supremacy Stage powerhouses don't dare to talk nonsense in front of so many of us. You're quite arrogant, kid. Everyone, since these two are acting recklessly, let's clean them up and divide the treasures they got from the palace equally. What do you think? "
"No problem!"
"Agreed!"
"Understood!"
The dozens of Perfected Golden Immortals nodded one after another and glared at Tan Xiu and Sablefiend Scorpio. However, even though they agreed verbally, none of them took the initiative to attack Tan Xiu and Sablefiend Scorpio. It was because they were somewhat fearful of Tan Xiu and Sablefiend Scorpio's ability to easily enter the palace.
Tan Xiu and Sablefiend Scorpio exchanged glances and both of them retreated dozens of meters in an instant. Immediately after, Tan Xiu sneered and said, "If you want to fight on the bridge, then we'll be happy to accompany you. Come up and fight if you have the guts! "
Fight on the bridge?
The dozens of Perfected Golden Immortals' complexions changed and they retreated a few steps.
Tan Xiu and Sablefiend Scorpio looked contemptuous at the same time and immediately sat cross-legged after seeing their fearful expressions.
Time passed in this stalemate.
A whole day later, when the dozens of Perfected Golden Immortals were staring at Tan Xiu and Sablefiend Scorpio, the white-haired old man's expression suddenly changed. He was keenly aware that the bodies of the two sitting cross-legged on the long bridge were a bit erratic. It didn't seem to be caused by a cultivation technique, but rather …
In an instant.
A flying knife appeared in his hand, and he instantly threw it at Tan Xiu. What made him so angry that he almost vomited blood was that the flying knife directly penetrated Tan Xiu's body. Then, Tan Xiu's body turned into specks of light and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. Sablefiend Scorpio also opened her eyes at this moment and shot a strange smile at the dozens of Perfected Golden Immortals before her body collapsed.
"It's the Blood Clones! Dammit! We were tricked by those two bastards!" The white-haired elder roared furiously.
Dozens of others also showed angry expressions and wished they could tear Tan Xiu and Sablefiend Scorpio into pieces.
At this moment.
Millions of kilometers away, Tan Xiu and Sablefiend Scorpio were happily sitting under a big tree, eating the immortal beast meat Tan Xiu had just barbecued.
"It tastes really good, Master."
Sablefiend Scorpio was a carnivore and used to love meat. But ever since she was captured and imprisoned in the Convict Arena, she rarely ate delicious food. Now that she was eating the delicious food cooked by Tan Xiu, she suddenly had an illusion that it might not be a bad thing to follow this mysterious Master forever.
Suddenly …
She recalled the enemies of the four sects mentioned by Tan Xiu and couldn't help but shudder. She then dispelled the absurd thought from her mind.
"It smells so good!"
A figure flickered lightning-fast from a distance and came in front of the duo in the blink of an eye. However, the two of them didn't show any signs of wariness. Instead, they smiled at the same time.
"You're late."
A smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth as he looked at Star Tears' scarred appearance.
"I ran into some trouble, but it was more daunting than dangerous." Star Tears forced a smile. "That's right, those two little guys will probably be here soon. We met them on the way and planned to travel together. But who would've thought that we would run into trouble, so I led the enemies away. They should've gone to another place. "
"What kind of trouble did you run into?" asked Tan Xiu.
"We ran into the Myriad Sword Sect's people, so we tried to kill them," said Star Tears. "Who would've thought that there would be Perfected Golden Immortals from the Myriad Sword Sect nearby? Moreover, there were two of them, so I led the two Perfected Golden Immortals away and separated from them."
"How many did you kill?" asked Tan Xiu with a smile.
"Six Golden Immortals. I'm afraid those two Perfected Golden Immortals are having a hard time," answered Star Tears.
Tan Xiu gave a thumbs up and praised, "The more I kill, the happier I am. Take a rest first and then eat something to heal your injuries. We'll team up to hunt for treasures after those two arrive. That's right, I also want to take you to a place. "
"Where are we going?" asked Star Tears, confused.
"You'll know when we get there." Tan Xiu smiled mysteriously and said, "Eat something first."
Two days later.
Two rather distressed figures appeared in front of the trio. Star Luminous and Star Peng, who were covered in blood and had weak auras, appeared in front of Tan Xiu's group. They directly took out a Purple Scent Pill and then sat cross-legged on the ground to heal their injuries.
Their injuries were comparatively heavy, and it was caused by the pursuit of a Golden Immortal Realm expert on the way here. What made them collapse the most was that they encountered more than one Perfected Golden Immortal along the way, and even their interspatial rings were robbed by some Perfected Golden Immortals. If they had stuffed the Purple Scent Pills directly into their belts instead of putting them in their interspatial rings, they would've been robbed.
"Hehe …"
Looking at their distressed appearance, Tan Xiu sighed a few times. He then took out two Crystal Essences and flicked them to their hands. Then, he lightly said, "Heal your injuries while absorbing the Immortal Force inside the Crystal Essences to speed up your healing. We still have tens of millions of kilometers to travel, and it's not going to be a smooth journey. "
Tens of millions of kilometers?
Star Luminous and Star Peng couldn't help but shiver a few times after hearing this. They directly grabbed the Crystal Essences and began to absorb the Immortal Force inside. Then, they began to heal their injuries and replenish their consumed Immortal Force.
Half a day later.
Just as Tan Xiu finished cooking the immortal beast meat, he suddenly patted his forehead and was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh. "I'm so confused. Just let them heal their injuries and directly enter the Heavenly Abode artifact. Why are they foolishly waiting here? You two, hurry up and enter the Heavenly Abode artifact. "
"Understood!"
After Star Luminous and Star Peng entered the Heavenly Abode artifact, Sablefiend Scorpio was also arranged by Tan Xiu to enter the artifact. He and Star Tears each took a roasted immortal beast's thigh and ate it while hurrying on their way.
"Auntie Star Tears, did those two little guys discover your true identity?" Tan Xiu asked with a smile while vigilantly observing the surroundings.
"No. They won't be able to discover my identity given their strength." Star Tears shook her head and smiled. "That's unless I take the initiative to expose myself."
Tan Xiu said, "Don't use your divine abilities for the time being when they follow you. I have some divine abilities and secret arts here, so you can take them to comprehend them. We're in the Secret Palace and there are too many enemies coming, so our mission is to hunt for treasures and kill the enemies. "
Star Tears took several ancient books of divine abilities and secret arts handed over by Tan Xiu and put them into her interspatial ring. Then, she said with all seriousness, "The number of powerhouses from the Inner Pill Sect, Everlasting Palace, Myriad Sword Sect, and Hundred Poisons Sect entering the Secret Palace this time is not small, so it's better for us to be cautious. I still remember you saying that there's no need to worry about firewood as long as the green hills last. We can kill people, but we must avoid them immediately if we encounter too many enemies. "
"Don't worry, Auntie Star Tears!" Tan Xiu nodded. "I know what I'm doing."
Half a year later.
Tan Xiu and Star Tears hurried on their way, picking up treasures and killing people at the same time. In the past six months, they had killed 16 Golden Immortals and 1 Perfected Golden Immortal from the Inner Pill Sect, 37 Golden Immortals and 2 Perfected Golden Immortals from the Everlasting Palace, 8 Golden Immortals and 1 Perfected Golden Immortal from the Myriad Sword Sect, and 6 Golden Immortals from the Hundred Poisons Sect.
"The sea of stars is ahead."
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and whispered according to the memory in his mind.
At this moment, he and Star Tears were at the edge of the mountain range. They could already see the turbulent sea surface and the flying immortal beasts above it.
"Is there any danger here?" asked Star Tears.
"There's definitely danger here." Tan Xiu shook his head. "It's just that it's not from the restrictions and small arrays in the Secret Palace. It's from the other Immortals. We're now only tens of thousands of kilometers away from our destination. We can land on that island as long as we enter the sea. The inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme is on that island. "
"Drunken Immortal Supreme already told you that you can't accept the inheritance, yet we still came here. Isn't that bad?" asked Star Tears with a forced smile.
"There's nothing bad about it." Tan Xiu shook his head. "He just knows my identity, so he doesn't want me to receive his inheritance, but he didn't say anything about others! Since I already know the array used to construct this Secret Palace and know what's inside, I can naturally bring others here. He didn't say that I'm not allowed to bring others here to accept his inheritance. "
"You want me to accept the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme?" asked Star Tears in surprise.
"That's right. I do want you to accept the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme." Tan Xiu nodded. "I dare say that you'll soon be able to break through to the Supremacy Stage after receiving the inheritance, Auntie Star Tears. The moment you break through to the Supremacy Stage will be the time for you to return to the Rosefinch Holy Sect ahead of time. "
"Didn't you say that you don't want me to return to the Rosefinch Holy Sect ahead of time?" asked Star Tears, confused.
"I don't want you to return to the Rosefinch Holy Sect before you have enough strength," said Tan Xiu. "But it won't be a problem if you can break through to the Supremacy Stage. Besides, I hope you can bring back the news that I'm still alive and tell my father. "
Star Tears pondered for a moment before she firmly nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll only tell him. I'll also tell him about your intentions and some plans. "
