After the battle with Tang Long, Xiao Yan was seriously injured. The group turned around and headed north. The north was where the Tian Yun Villa was located.
The group had just reached the Middle Region when they met the experts from the Du E Sect. Although they had managed to force them back this time around, there might be other experts from the Du E Sect who would chase after them. Looking at Tang Long's stance, it seemed that he valued Lian Er's Woeful Poison Body extremely highly. If they continued to head east, it was likely that they would meet with trouble that they could not resolve. Moreover, given Xiao Yan's current condition, he really needed some time to recover. Currently, the closest and safest place was likely the Tian Yun Villa where Luo Jin was at. As long as they reached that place, it was likely that even with the foundation of the Du E Sect, they would have no choice but to think carefully.
While Xiao Yan's group was heading towards the Tian Yun Villa, on the other side, the seriously injured Tang Long was led by Xu Zhen to the sky above a mountain forest not far from the Ancient Orchid City. Xu Zhen, who should have continued to head back, stopped when they arrived at this place. Tang Long, on the other hand, took the opportunity to take a short break on a mountain peak because he had consumed a medicinal pill.
"* Cough * cough * … * Little fellow, this time around, it is all thanks to you. If you were not around, I'm afraid that I would have already …"
The pale-faced Tang Long's body trembled as he sat cross-legged on the mountain peak. It was as though he would easily fall if the wind blew. Xu Zhen stood beside him with his hands behind his back. His eyes looked in the direction that Xiao Yan's group had left in. At the same time that a murderous intent surged in his eyes, a fierce glint also flashed across his eyes. After which, his eyes slowly landed on Tang Long beside him.
"Third Elder's words are too serious. This matter was originally caused by me. If I did not inform you, such a situation would not have occurred. I hope that Elder will forgive me!"
"Ugh, if we really want to talk about it, it is all my fault for being careless. Who could have imagined that that brat was merely an initial stage Origin Emperor, yet he was actually able to unleash such a frightening Dou Skill. I will likely be laughed at when I return this time around. Additionally, I was unable to bring back the Holy Maiden. It will only be more troublesome when the sect leader learns about it!"
Tang Long furrowed his brows. His pale face was filled with worry. He knew the Sect Master's character. He had obtained news of the Holy Maiden but had not reported it. Now, he had failed to bring her back and was even covered in injuries. Not only would he not receive any sympathy, he would even receive an even greater punishment.
"Haha, Elder, actually, this junior has a method. Not only can it allow you to avoid punishment, but it can also make the Sect Leader feel sorry for you …"
However, at this moment, Xu Zhen chuckled. She slowly bent down and gently placed her right hand on Tang Long's back with a smile.
Hearing this, Tang Long raised his brows, and a hint of joy appeared on his old face. If he could get the sect master to be exempted from any punishment, he didn't care about anything else.
He hurriedly asked, "Tell me, what method?"
"That is …"
Xu Zhen slowly opened her mouth. At the same time, the smile on her face grew warmer and warmer. At the same time, the hand on Tang Long's back slowly lowered as she continued.
"You will die …"
"Puchi!"
The moment Xu Zhen's voice faded, Genesis Qi condensed in her right palm and instantly pierced through Tang Long's chest. Tang Long trembled all over as he stared at Xu Zhen in disbelief. Then, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the blood-red palm that had pierced through his chest. He couldn't believe that Xu Zhen would attack him.
"Why … why … I am the third elder of the Du E Sect … what good will it do you to kill me!"
"It is precisely because you are the third elder of the Du E Sect that the other higher-ups will be alarmed if you die. At that time, I won't have to look for them. Those old bastards will take the initiative to find us. From where we are now, if we chase after them, we may be able to catch up to Xiao Yan and the others. As for you, you will become my nourishment!"
The warm smile on Xu Zhen's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a sinister and cruel expression. Xu Zhen clenched his right hand with a sinister grin, and a strange suction force was suddenly released from his palm. At the same time, the remaining Genesis Qi in Tang Long's body began to circulate uncontrollably. Wisps of Genesis Qi gathered in Xu Zhen's palm and were absorbed into his body.
"You wretched disciple, even if I die today, I will destroy you!"
Sensing the strange changes in his body, Tang Long's heart was filled with fear. Only now did he realize that his sect master's worry for Xu Zhen was not fake. But it was already too late. Tang Long's body trembled violently as he roared with unwillingness. The remaining Genesis Qi in the vortex in his body also violently surged. Two powerless hands desperately clutched Xu Zhen's hand, and the expression on his old face gradually turned sinister.
It seemed that the old man was planning to self-destruct and perish together with Xu Zhen!
"Hey, self-destruct? Teacher, please!"
Not only was Xu Zhen not the slightest bit worried when he saw this, he even laughed coldly in disdain. If Tang Long was still in his peak condition, perhaps he would be worried. However, the current Tang Long was merely an arrow at the end of its flight. Coupled with the existence of his teacher, there was naturally no problem.
As his voice sounded, a somewhat illusory figure appeared in the void beside the two. When Tang Long saw the figure in front of him, the expression on his deathly pale face abruptly turned to one of horror, and a roar of disbelief rang out from his mouth again.
"Yu Du! It's you! "
"Hehe, third brother, we finally meet again. I almost died in your hands back then. How about it? Now, it's my turn to take back everything that I've lost!"
As the cold laughter sounded, Yu Du suddenly slammed his palm on Tang Long's head. One could only hear a muffled cracking sound, and Tang Long's mouth was wide open. His face was filled with grievances as he died.
After a short while, Tang Long's body was wrapped in a strange poisonous fog and was gradually swallowed by Xu Zhen. At the same time, the latter's face also strangely turned purplish-black. His eyeballs rolled continuously, and his body trembled as he hurriedly sat down. He forcefully suppressed the extremely dark and cold energy in his body and gradually refined it.
Almost at the same time, on a mountain south of Ancient Orchid City, three figures were gathering from different directions. At this moment, the three of them were frowning as they looked at the shattered Soul Jade Tablet in their hands. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Third brother is dead?! Who did it? "
"Who actually dares to kill an elder of my Du E Sect? Are you courting death?!"
"If they were afraid of death, they wouldn't have killed him."
"To be able to kill Tang Long, their cultivation is at least at the level of a Four Star Source Ancestor. Recently, no experts at the level of a Four Star Source Ancestor have appeared in this area, unless they are from the Heavenly Cloud Villa."
"That group of fellows usually mind their own business and rarely interact with us. Even if the conflict is not small, they should not have attacked us. Could it be someone else?"
"Hmph, regardless of whether there is or not, let's go and take a look first. Everything will naturally be known when we reach the place."
