Six spiritual fruits and more than twenty practitioners. Yang Qi and the other two could already foresee how fierce the competition would be, even though the fight for the spiritual fruits had not started yet.
"It's difficult for the three of us to fight for all the spiritual fruits." Emperor Ji Yan paused for a moment before continuing, "Let's try to keep three!"
After this was said, Yang Qi and Emperor Luo Feng nodded. It would be difficult for Yang Qi and his three companions, even for a true Martial Emperor peak cultivator, to take all the spiritual fruits. Therefore, it was not realistic to take all the spiritual fruits away, so Emperor Ji Yan chose to keep three.
The so-called "protecting three" means protecting three spiritual fruits, which happens to be one for each of Yang Qi and the other two. In this way, the pressure faced by Yang Qi and the other two will be much less, and they can compete for it with their strength.
As for more spiritual fruits, that depends on luck. However, the hope of competing for more spiritual fruits is not great, so Emperor Ji Yan did not mention getting more spiritual fruits at all, but just said to try to maintain the third place.
Yang Qi and Emperor Luo Feng both strongly agreed with Emperor Ji Yan's proposal. After all, they had a certain judgment of the situation on the scene and their own strength, and knew how to make choices.
Emperor Luo Feng's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Now I just hope that no cultivators at the peak of the Martial Emperor level will come, otherwise the fight for the spiritual fruit will probably be even more tragic."
They had encountered a peak Martial Emperor cultivator before, which meant that there were peak Martial Emperor cultivators in Dark Heavy Mountain, and it was very likely that there was more than one peak Martial Emperor cultivator. Therefore, it was not strange to encounter a peak Martial Emperor cultivator during the fight for the spiritual fruit. However, once a peak Martial Emperor cultivator appeared, it would not only affect other cultivators, but even Yang Qi and the other two would be affected.
After all, once the cultivators at the peak of the Martial Emperor level join the fight for the spiritual fruits, it will not be so easy for Yang Qi and the other two to obtain three spiritual fruits!
After hearing what Emperor Luo Feng said, Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan fell silent. They naturally understood the meaning of Emperor Luo Feng's words, and they also knew clearly what it meant once a cultivator at the peak level of Martial Emperor appeared.
Emperor Ji Yan raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "It's too early to think about these things now. The spiritual fruit is not fully mature yet. Let's wait until the spiritual fruit is ripe."
Yang Qi and the other two immediately waited on the spot. As time passed, the spiritual fruit on the treetop was turning golden yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that it was maturing rapidly.
Seeing the speed at which the spiritual fruit matured, Yang Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, wondering in his heart, "Isn't the speed at which this spiritual fruit matures a little too fast?"
Normally, the process of spiritual fruit maturing is usually quite long. It is beyond common sense that it is maturing at a speed visible to the naked eye like this. However, such spiritual fruit does exist in the endless universe, and the opportunity on the Dark Mountain cannot be measured by common sense. It is not incomprehensible that the spiritual fruit matures too quickly.
Therefore, although Yang Qi was a little puzzled, he did not think too much about it. As time passed, another team of practitioners arrived soon. However, the good news was that there were no practitioners at the peak level of Martial Emperor in the team that came.
Emperor Luo Feng's expression became serious, and he looked to the right and said, "Another cultivator is coming."
Hearing what Emperor Luo Feng said, Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan couldn't help but nodded slightly. Their perception had been released at full strength, mainly to check whether there were any practitioners at the peak level of Martial Emperor. Therefore, Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan also sensed the arrival of this team of practitioners.
But at this moment, the eyes of Yang Qi and Emperor Ji Yan were both fixed on the spiritual fruit, because the spiritual fruit had completely turned golden yellow, but even so, the spiritual fruit was still not fully ripe, because on the golden spiritual fruit, there were more crimson lines, and the lines were constantly spreading on the spiritual fruit.
Although the spiritual fruit is not fully ripe at this moment, the practitioners present understand that the spiritual fruit is almost fully ripe. It is precisely because of this that many practitioners present have begun to become eager to try.
Um
However, as the four auras approached, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly, and he looked to the right rear, and then said in a deep voice, "This aura... is him!"
"This breath..."
Not only Yang Qi, the expressions of Emperor Ji Yan and Emperor Luo Feng also changed slightly, and then the three of them looked at each other.
Emperor Ji Yan's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "He is a cultivator from the group of cultivators we met at Mo Yun Teng before."
"I didn't expect that among the three of them, there is a cultivator who survived." Emperor Luo Feng said with a little surprise.
You have to know that when they left, the Black Cloud Vine had already gone crazy. In that situation, even a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. The three cultivators who had no idea how to deal with the Black Cloud Vine, it was indeed a bit surprising for Emperor Luo Feng that one of them was able to escape and ascend to heaven.
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "After suffering such a great loss at our hands, I'm afraid that cultivator will not let it go!"
Yang Qi did not have any regrets about what he did at the beginning. After all, it was those three practitioners who wanted to kill people and steal treasures, and they did not attack the three practitioners directly. The only thing they could blame was that they chose the wrong place to attack, which angered the Mo Yun Vine hidden underground.
Although the truth was on Yang Qi and his two companions' side, only one of the three practitioners escaped. If the two sides meet again, the other party will probably not let Yang Qi and his two companions go easily.
"Even if that cultivator doesn't want to give up, it won't be easy. The current team is not decided by him." Emperor Ji Yan said indifferently, and then said in a deep voice, "Besides, even if a fight really breaks out, with our strength, we don't have to be afraid of them!"
After this was said, Yang Qi and Emperor Luo Feng could not help but nod their heads. Without the arrival of the peak martial emperor cultivator, Yang Qi and his two companions were planning to keep the third place. In this case, they would definitely face considerable pressure. So even if the four cultivators who arrived at this moment attacked them, it would not be strange. Even without the existence of that cultivator, this team would still be very likely to attack them.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Just as Yang Qi and the other two were discussing, four figures flew over from the depths of the forest. They were the four practitioners that Yang Qi and the other two had sensed before.
