Tong Shan was seriously injured in the previous battle and originally planned to return to Xuanming Sect to heal his wounds, but because a Martial Emperor came to this star field to take charge, he stayed in the base. It was just that because his injuries had not recovered yet, he did not follow the Xuanming Guards and thus escaped. However, Liu Yue, who was not injured, was not so lucky. He died in the three teams!
"Brother Liu is dead." Yang Qi sighed in his heart. He thought he would be able to meet three old friends this time, but he didn't expect that one of them would pass away when they were about to meet.
A trace of sadness appeared on Yang Qi's face, and he slowly said, "I am late. If I had come earlier, Brother Liu would not have died."
The strength of these practitioners who attacked Xuanming Sect was not that strong, most of them were just high-level Martial Emperors. The only one who posed a bit of a threat was the Martial Emperor in secret. If the other party had not deliberately set up a trap to plot against Xuanming Sect, the Xuanming Sect would not have suffered too much loss if it had tightened its defenses.
If Yang Qi had arrived earlier, he could have easily killed those high-level Martial Emperors, whether they were Dark Beetles or Shadow Clones, and could have saved Liu Yue.
"We were too careless. We never expected that a Martial Emperor would attack us. As a result, we were tricked by the other party." Luo Ye said with a wry smile.
The Martial Emperors were the strongest in the nearby star fields. Once a Martial Emperor took action, especially against a large force, it was equivalent to going to war. It was precisely because of this that the Xuanming Sect never thought that a Martial Emperor would take action against the younger generation of the Xuanming Sect, which was why they were calculated by the other party.
The three Xuanming Guard teams were completely wiped out, and dozens of Martial Emperors died, making the atmosphere in the team somewhat depressing and sad. Although this loss was nothing to the Xuanming Sect, the fellow disciples who died were familiar to Luo Ye and others.
Although they were sad, Luo Ye and others did not stop and rushed all the way to the base.
Whoosh~
As soon as the group arrived outside the base, a figure flew out from inside the base. It was the Martial Emperor who was in charge of the base.
Looking at the person coming, Yang Qi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "One-star Martial Emperor Peak."
"My name is Du Yu, nice to meet fellow Taoist Yang Qi." The man bowed.
Seeing this, Yang Qi immediately responded with a greeting, "Brother Du Yu."
"Please come in, fellow Daoist!" Du Yu obviously knew Yang Qi's identity and origin from Luo Ye, so he directly led Yang Qi to the base.
Du Yu was very polite to Yang Qi, not only because Yang Qi had practiced for a very short time but had already entered the Martial Emperor realm, but also because Yang Qi came from Tiangan Palace and was a disciple of the Great Emperor Wushi. No matter from which point of view, Yang Qi was far from being comparable to him, a practitioner who had been only a one-star Martial Emperor realm for tens of millions of years.
Yang Qi looked at Du Yu and changed the subject, "Brother Du, have you figured out the origin of the Martial Emperor you fought with?"
"I am really ashamed that I did not realize his origins."
Du Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, continuing, "Although I have fought against that mysterious Martial Emperor, his own cultivation is stronger than mine, at the early stage of the two-star Martial Emperor. It's just that his means are limited, and he can't do anything to me."
"So that Emperor Wu is a casual cultivator?" Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
The gap of a small realm in the Martial Emperor Realm is a huge gap. A cultivator in the early stage of the two-star Martial Emperor couldn't do anything to Du Yu. It's not because Du Yu is so strong, but the strength of the two-star Martial Emperor is probably relatively weak. Du Yu has been a one-star Martial Emperor for so many years. Naturally, his talent and potential are not very high. In this case, the two-star Martial Emperor couldn't do anything to him. It is very likely that the other party is a casual cultivator. After all, casual cultivators don't have much foundation, and their strength is often weaker than that of powerful cultivators in the same realm. This is the gap brought by the foundation.
"I also speculated that he was a casual cultivator, but I don't know why he would attack my Xuanming Sect. Although the three major cultivation forces in the Damuo Star Region are in a three-way confrontation, there has not been a large-scale war for a long time, and no major forces have been destroyed." Du Yu sighed and continued, "It stands to reason that a cultivator of this level should not attack the Xuanming Sect, but he never thought that he would be calculated, and dozens of younger generations died."
“If it’s a casual cultivator, it will be troublesome.” Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
What the big forces fear most is encountering such shameless independent cultivators. Although the other party is unlikely to be a match for the big forces, such shameless attacks on the younger generation will cause huge losses over time.
"I have already informed the church. After some time, support will arrive, and it will be easier to deal with." Du Yu said helplessly.
Du Yu felt helpless about this kind of independent cultivator who refused to confront him head-on. Now he could only shrink the defense range and wait for support from the sect, otherwise they would be trapped in the base.
After chatting with Du Yu for a while, Yang Qi said goodbye and came to the residence arranged by Du Yu, where he met Luo Ye and the other two who had been waiting for him.
"Um?"
When he saw Tong Shan again, Yang Qi was stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face, because he found that Tong Shan was actually holding hands with Chen Jing.
"You..." Yang Qi looked at Chen Jing and the others and said.
Luo Ye, who was standing by, heard this and smiled slightly, "Junior Brother Tong Shan and Junior Sister Chen Jing are Taoist couples."
"I didn't expect you two would end up together." Yang Qi sighed. It was indeed beyond his expectation that Tong Shan and Chen Jing would become Taoist couples. He didn't know many practitioners in the Damuo Star Region, and it was even more incredible that two practitioners he knew would become Taoist couples.
Tong Shan was also very happy to see Yang Qi. After all, he was an old friend whom he hadn't seen for thousands of years. They had experienced life and death together before, and their friendship was incomparable to that of ordinary practitioners.
However, the conversation among the three of them would occasionally involve Liu Yue, making the scene a little sad.
"Brother Tong, I see that you are seriously injured. I have some treasures here that can restore the power of the soul and blood. You can use them to heal your wounds first." Yang Qi moved his hand, and a storage ring fell into Tong Shan's hand.
"this… "
Tong Shan checked some of the treasures in the storage ring, his expression changed slightly, and he said quickly, "These treasures are too precious, I..."
“Brother Tong, you practice with the blood of the black tortoise. If the origin of your blood is damaged, it will have a great impact on your future practice. The sooner you recover from the injury to your soul, the better.” Yang Qi said hurriedly.
"this… "
Tong Shan couldn't help but hesitate when he heard that. He was well aware of his injuries. If it were so easy to recover, he would have recovered long ago. It was precisely because he didn't have all the treasures to heal his injuries that he had not been able to recover.
After all, whether it was a treasure that restored the soul or a treasure that restored the essence of the bloodline, they were both extremely precious. Even though his master had helped him a lot, he still couldn't fully recover. (To be continued)
