As Yang Qi finished speaking, Liu Qingpeng and Zheng Jie on the side also looked at Shi Zhong. Although Shi Zhong had said before that Jiang Feng and others attacked him for the purple-blue divine crystal, they were not clear about the details of what happened.
"Here's what happened."
Shi Zhong smiled bitterly, and then said, "Before, Brother Bai and I..."
Following Shi Zhong's narration, Yang Qi and the others also understood what happened. It turned out that Shi Zhong and Bai Ying had discovered a palace before and entered it to seek opportunities. The two separated because of this, and Shi Zhong left first. This place was actually the place that was moved out of the palace.
When Shi Zhong was waiting for Bai Ying to come out, he met Jiang Feng and others who were on their way. Jiang Feng recognized him at a glance and attacked him directly. During the fight, Jiang Feng and others discovered that he possessed the purple-blue divine crystal.
"I see."
After listening to Shi Zhong's narration, Yang Qi and the other two understood why Bai Ying was not nearby when Shi Zhong was besieged. It was because Bai Ying was still in the palace and had not come out at all.
After understanding this, Yang Qi and others couldn't help feeling a little guilty. They had previously suspected that Bai Ying was ungrateful, but now it seemed that it was not Bai Ying who was ungrateful, but that they were separated by chance.
Yang Qi looked at Shi Zhong and said apologetically, "To be honest, it's me who got you into trouble."
Jiang Feng and the others attacked immediately upon seeing Shi Zhong, obviously because of him. Otherwise, with the temperament of Jiang Feng and the others, it would be impossible for them to deal with an unknown Martial King.
"Brother Yang, this matter has nothing to do with you. Since you have come here, you are destined to adapt to life in the outside world. It was me who was too reckless. Although I have changed my Taoist soldiers, my own skills are still too eye-catching." Shi Zhong said with a wry smile.
The purple-blue divine crystal is not widely circulated in the outside world, but there are still some practitioners who know about it. Shi Zhong had replaced his Taoist soldiers before. After all, the Taoist soldiers in his hands were really eye-catching. They were made of the purple-blue divine crystal. Any practitioner who has seen the purple-blue divine crystal can tell it at a glance.
Although he changed his Taoist soldiers, the technique that Shi Zhong practiced was related to the Purple-Blue Divine Crystal. When fighting broke out, any practitioner who had used the Purple-Blue Divine Crystal and knew its characteristics would be able to tell the difference.
This was also the reason why Shi Zhong was exposed. Jiang Feng and others discovered that Shi Zhong had refined a large amount of purple-blue divine crystals. They immediately thought that Shi Zhong might know the origin of the purple-blue divine crystals, and even had a large amount of purple-blue divine crystals on his body. Especially after Shi Zhong was forced to use the purple-blue divine crystals to refine special Taoist weapons, Jiang Feng and others' speculations were further strengthened.
This is also the reason why Jiang Feng and other three surrounded and killed Shi Zhong together. At the beginning, it was only Jiang Feng who took action. However, knowing that Shi Zhong might have a large amount of purple-blue divine crystals, Han Zhuang and others could no longer sit still.
As Shi Zhong finished speaking, Yang Qi and the other two fell silent.
Shi Zhong carried a lot of purple-blue divine crystals on him. It was impossible for these things not to be traded forever. After all, Shi Zhong needed resources to practice, and the purple-blue divine crystals were extremely valuable in the Tianhuang Holy Land. Any ordinary purple-blue divine crystal could be exchanged for a large amount of resources!
Yang Qi looked at Shi Zhong and said solemnly, "Brother Shi, it seems that after you leave Tianhuang Palace, you must find a powerful cultivation force to join as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future."
With Shi Zhong's strength, it is not easy to keep the purple-blue divine crystal on him. The best way is to join a powerful cultivation force. With a powerful cultivation force as a backer, other practitioners naturally dare not easily target Shi Zhong.
Shi Zhong nodded slightly. After this incident, he also realized that if he did not have a strong cultivation force as a backer, he might not even be able to keep the purple-blue divine crystal.
…
Jiang Feng's face was terribly gloomy, and he said coldly, "Damn it, this time I wasted two Martial Emperor-level protective treasures."
"Who knew they had a companion who was a mid-level Martial Emperor? The protective treasures we bought are simply not enough to kill him, unless we use our own protective treasures." Han Zhuang said with a wry smile.
The protective treasures they carried with them were also consumed a lot. These three- and four-star Martial Emperor-level protective treasures were purchased temporarily by them before, in order to reduce the use of their own protective treasures when facing three- and four-star Martial Emperors. However, even if it was a protective treasure of this level, they didn't have many in their hands, and it was impossible for them to use protective treasures all the time in battle.
"Then what should we do now? Are we just going to give up the chance to get the Purple-Blue Divine Crystal?" a man asked with a grim expression.
The purple-blue divine crystal is a good opportunity, which can be seen from Shi Zhong's strong body. Under the siege of the four of them, even a one-star martial arts late-stage cultivator would have died long ago. But Shi Zhong was able to hold on until Yang Qi and others arrived. His body was even stronger than Han Zhuang's.
Han Zhuang heard this and said helplessly, "What else can we do if we don't give up? After what happened this time, they will definitely be more careful. With that mid-level Martial Emperor, as long as they don't fight to the death with us, we won't be able to catch up with them even if we meet them in this outer domain."
It was impossible to use space means here. The cultivators relied entirely on their own speed to travel, and the cultivators at the Martial Emperor level had some advantages in speed over the Martial King level, especially the four-star Martial Emperor. If the other party did not fight them to the death and retreated as soon as they noticed them, even if they had a treasure to kill the mid-level Martial Emperor, it would be useless.
Hearing this, Jiang Feng and others fell silent. They knew Yang Qi and others, and Yang Qi and others also knew them. They all knew that some of the powerful treasures in the other party's hands could kill high-level Martial Emperors. How could Yang Qi and others not remind the cultivator with the purple-blue divine crystal.
The remaining practitioner took a deep breath and consoled himself, "Forget it, it's just a purple-blue divine crystal. Although I haven't heard of it in the Endless Universe, there are similar treasures. Compared to the purple-blue divine crystal, the opportunity left by the Holy Lord of Tianhuang is more precious."
As soon as these words were spoken, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on the faces of Han Zhuang and the other two. Although they knew that the other party was just comforting himself, their chances of killing the other party and obtaining the Purple-Blue Divine Crystal were slim, so they could only comfort themselves in this way.
A fierce light flashed in the depths of Jiang Feng's eyes, and then he smiled coldly and said, "Even if we can't get it, we will never let them have an easy time."
"Brother Jiang, you are not planning to..."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Han Zhuang and the other two changed slightly. Jiang Feng had tricked Yang Qi and the others before, and now he was planning to use this method again? In this way, he had completely torn his face with Yang Qi and the others!
"Anyway, we are about to enter the inner domain, and we won't be able to fight then. What is there to be afraid of? As for returning to the endless universe, are you still afraid of him, Yang Qi?" Jiang Feng said calmly.
Hearing this, Han Zhuang and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment, but they did not refute. They were quite annoyed that they failed to snatch the purple-blue divine crystal this time. If they could create some trouble for Yang Qi and the others, they would naturally be happy to see it happen. (To be continued)
