Seeing that Qin He and his five companions had already flown out, the three people of Emperor Jiuyan hurriedly followed. Seeing this, Yang Qi quickly sent a message, "I feel something is wrong. Everyone better be more careful."
Um
Hearing Yang Qi's words, the three of Emperor Jiuyan were slightly stunned. They naturally had no doubts about Yang Qi's words, but Yang Qi obviously couldn't tell what was wrong, otherwise he would not just remind them, but would directly tell them what was wrong.
But even so, with Yang Qi's reminder, Emperor Jiuyan and his two companions became much more cautious, and the group of nine arrived in front of the bushes in the blink of an eye.
Wow~
I saw a Martial Emperor peak cultivator under Emperor Qin He move his hand, and a strong force directly grabs the gray-white spiritual fruit, obviously trying to collect the spiritual fruit.
When that cultivator made his move, the other two cultivators at the peak of Martial Emperor level also reached out to grab the other two spiritual fruits of different colors.
Seeing that he was trying to collect the spiritual fruit, but the four people of Emperor Jiuyan showed no signs of trying, Qin He was slightly startled, and then looked at Emperor Jiuyan and said, "Aren't you going to try it?"
"It is too easy to obtain the spiritual fruit this time. I think it is better to observe carefully." Emperor Jiuyan said calmly.
Hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in the depths of Qin He's eyes. It was obvious that Emperor Jiuyan wanted the practitioners on their side to explore the way and find out which spiritual fruits could be collected and which could not.
He would wait until they figured out the situation and then collect the spiritual fruits. How could Qin He possibly hide this little trick from him
It was not surprising that Qin He had such thoughts. Any normal cultivator would probably have similar thoughts. However, they were not ordinary cultivators, but Yang Qi and his group. Although Emperor Jiuyan did not say Yang Qi's guess, this was indeed their thought. They were worried that the spiritual fruit in front of them might be as Yang Qi expected, and there was something wrong.
At this moment, the energy palms of the three peak Martial Emperor practitioners had already fallen on three different spiritual fruits. Among them, the gray-white spiritual fruits and the gray-red spiritual fruits were impossible to pick at all. Only the flame-like spiritual fruits could be directly grabbed.
“It’s this kind of spiritual fruit!”
The moment the flaming spiritual fruit was grabbed, the eyes of Qin He and others lit up. In an instant, powerful palms of energy reached out to grab the flaming spiritual fruit.
Obviously, while sending out practitioners to try to catch the spiritual fruits, Qin He and others had already locked on to the remaining spiritual fruits, and would collect the remaining spiritual fruits as soon as the results came out.
"This is… "
At the moment the spiritual fruit was grabbed, Yang Qi's face suddenly changed. Before, he only felt that these spiritual fruits had a hint of aura similar to that of local practitioners.
However, as the spiritual fruit was picked, the aura quickly strengthened. Not only that, the bushes whose spiritual fruits had been picked turned into flames and began to burn.
Seeing this, Yang Qi's face changed and he shouted, "Not good, retreat quickly!"
The three men of Emperor Jiuyan, who had been prepared for this, did not hesitate at all after hearing Yang Qi's reminder. They retreated instantly and quickly distanced themselves from the bushes and Qin He and his four men.
Boom!
At this moment, a wisp of flame shot out from the burning bush and instantly hit the Martial Emperor cultivator who was grabbing the flaming spiritual fruit. In an instant, the cultivator turned into a huge fireball.
Before the other party could even scream, his entire body was engulfed by the flames, and his breath completely disappeared. It was obvious that the peak Martial Emperor practitioner had died on the spot.
"withdraw!"
Seeing this, Qin He and the others who were about to grab other flame-like spiritual fruits suddenly changed their expressions and retreated rapidly. Although he didn't know where the flame came from, the flame gave Qin He the feeling that it was much more terrifying than the bone fire released by those local practitioners.
Fortunately, the strange flame only devoured the practitioner who picked the spiritual fruit and did not attack other practitioners. Otherwise, Qin He and the other four who were very close to the peak Martial Emperor would probably be in great danger.
Wow~
Just as Qin He and his four companions were retreating violently, the fireball that the peak Martial Emperor practitioner had transformed into suddenly and rapidly shrank and turned into a wisp of flame. One end of the flame was connected to the bush from which they had picked the spiritual fruits, and the other end was connected to the spiritual fruits that had been picked.
The next moment, the flames shrank rapidly, pulling the picked spiritual fruit directly back onto the bushes. There was no sign that the spiritual fruit had been picked, as if everything that had happened before had never happened.
If it weren't for Qin He's side, a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level had already perished in front of everyone's eyes. Who would have dared to believe that a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level would be killed on the spot in the blink of an eye and turned into ashes
Qin He and his four companions retreated to the vicinity of Yang Qi and his companions. Looking at the intact spiritual fruit, their faces looked extremely ugly. They immediately looked at Yang Qi and his four companions and asked, "What's going on?"
Before, he suspected that Yang Qi and the other four wanted to use them to investigate the situation of the spiritual fruits. However, as the danger approached, a peak Martial Emperor cultivator on his side died directly. Qin He had to wonder whether Yang Qi and the other four had noticed something in advance.
After all, when Yang Qi and the other three were searching for spiritual fruits before, they did not make any moves. They were able to notice the appearance of bushes at the first time and retreated at the first time. This shows that Yang Qi and the other three were secretly on guard at least from the beginning.
Qin He obviously wouldn't believe that Yang Qi and the other three hadn't made any preparations before this.
"Fellow Daoist Qin He, I have said before that the process of obtaining the spiritual fruit this time was a little too easy, so I have been a little worried in my heart and did not act rashly." Emperor Jiuyan said calmly.
"you… "
Although Qin He knew that Emperor Jiuyan might have concealed something, he could not completely put the blame on Yang Qi and the other three. After all, Emperor Jiuyan had said this when he was investigating before, but it was a pity that Qin He and the others did not take it seriously at that time. They could only blame themselves for being too careless, not Emperor Jiuyan and his group.
However, a cultivator on their side suddenly died. No one would feel good about it. After all, these cultivators had come this far and had some friendship with each other.
Qin He looked at Emperor Jiuyan and said with a gloomy face, "Jiuyan, at this point, we are already in the same boat. If we hide anything, no one will get the chance in the end."
Hearing this, the three of Emperor Jiuyan couldn't help but frown. Although Qin He's tone was a bit aggressive, there was nothing wrong with his meaning. If they couldn't find a way to obtain the spiritual fruit, they would probably have to return empty-handed this time.
