Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 775: One Against Three
Seated above were two men and one woman. The one in the middle was a man with triangular eyes, his age indiscernible. His hair was ash-red, and his aura surged, a subtle Dao rhythm flowing around him.
To the left of this ash-red-haired man was a woman of unremarkable appearance, and to his right, a slightly obese old man.
Min Cheng stood below, his heart filled with trepidation. Wen Li and Ran Yushui only knew that these three were the three Immortal Emperors of the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce, but he knew their true backgrounds.
Especially the ash-red-haired man with triangular eyes in the middle, named Ou Zhaohe, was known to be a man with an explosive temper. There was no reasoning with him, only life or death. His strength was also the greatest among them, at the Immortal Emperor Late Stage.
Min Cheng had heard that Ou Zhaohe once partnered with a friend of many years to search for a relic. However, because they couldn't agree on how to divide one of the items, Ou Zhaohe directly killed his friend. This alone was enough to show his brutality. In the Outer Heaven Cosmos, countless foreign Immortals had died at his hands.
The woman was the second strongest among the three, at the Immortal Emperor Middle Stage. Min Cheng only knew that her name was Ling Rong. In order to attain Dao, she killed everyone she was attached to. Despite her seemingly harmless, downcast eyes, she was a ruthless character who would abandon everything for cultivation.
Min Cheng wasn't very familiar with the slightly obese old man, only knowing that his name was De Pingsha.
"Are you sure that Du Hong and that Mo Wuji left the market and Mo Wuji returned in just half a day?" Ou Zhaohe, who was sitting in the middle, asked.
Min Cheng quickly replied respectfully, "Reporting to Elder Ou, that is indeed the case."
Ou Zhaohe nodded and then stood up. "Let's go. I want to see what Mo Wuji is capable of, to dare to plot against one of my Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce's Immortal Emperors."
The three Immortal Emperors clearly deferred to Ou Zhaohe. When Ou Zhaohe stood up, the other two also followed suit.
"Three Elders, that Kuang Jin is already an Immortal Emperor." Ran Yushui's cultivation level was the lowest, and normally she would not have had the opportunity to speak, but seeing that Elder Ou didn't seem to take Mo Wuji seriously, she couldn't help but say tremblingly.
Du Hong had underestimated Mo Wuji, and now his fate was unknown.
"An Immortal Emperor who can survive is the only true Immortal Emperor," Ou Zhaohe said with a hint of coldness.
He was not afraid of an Immortal Emperor Initial Stage, even if they were at the same Immortal Emperor Late Stage as him.
...
"Pavilion Lord, I'm worried that the two of us won't be able to hold out for long." Kuang Jin's tone was hesitant. If he was trapped by Mo Wuji, there would be no escape. He had indeed promised a hundred years, but he wasn't offering his life.
Mo Wuji took out a formation flag and handed it to Kuang Jin, saying, "Immortal Friend Kuang, all the formations here were set up by me. Even if we can't win in the end, we'll still have a chance to escape. This formation flag is the life gate flag. If a crisis arises, drop the flag and you can escape through the life gate."
Facing three Immortal Emperors, Mo Wuji couldn't guarantee that he would have the chance to remind Kuang Jin to escape. So, he gave Kuang Jin a formation flag in advance, so that he wouldn't block Kuang Jin's path to survival if they were truly defeated.
He had indeed fought with several Grand Immortal Emperors, but those battles were of no use to him because he had no power to fight back.
"Alright." Grabbing the formation flag from Mo Wuji, Kuang Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Mo Wuji was still setting up formations, Kuang Jin had no choice but to take the initiative and say, "Pavilion Lord, can you lend me some green crystals? I just advanced to the Immortal Emperor stage, and my realm is still a bit unstable."
"Of course..."
As soon as Mo Wuji said these four words, the protective formation outside the market let out a roar.
Kuang Jin looked at Mo Wuji nervously. How could Mo Wuji not know what Kuang Jin meant? This guy was waiting for him to take out cultivation resources.
Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. He had taken one of his Emperor True Pills and done nothing, and now he wanted green crystals.
Besides, even if he gave green crystals, it would be Mo Wuji who brought it up, not Kuang Jin taking the initiative. When he took in Kuang Jin, he didn't say that he would provide free cultivation resources, he only said that he would help Kuang Jin enter the Emperor realm.
As long as he wholeheartedly helped him, would he, Mo Wuji, mistreat Kuang Jin?
"Immortal Friend Kuang, attack with all your strength where my red formation flag points." As he spoke, Mo Wuji threw out several formation flags, including a red one.
In fact, when Mo Wuji said "Of course," he knew that the Immortal Emperors of the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce were coming. He killed an Immortal Emperor of the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce, so he guessed that the Immortal Emperors of the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce would come and attack directly.
As expected, he was right. The Immortal Emperor Late Stage was the first to attack his outer perimeter trapping and killing formation.
"This is a trapping formation of not low rank..." Ling Rong exclaimed as soon as Ou Zhaohe attacked.
She was proficient in formations and was already a level five Immortal Formation Master.
Ou Zhaohe sneered, "So what if it's a trapping formation? A mere ant dares to use a trapping formation..."
Ou Zhaohe's voice paused. He found that because he had attacked, his position had suddenly changed. The surroundings had turned into a misty atmosphere, and faint killing intent flowed through the killing formation.
"This is a level seven killing formation. Everyone follow me and attack the same spot. Let's retreat first..." Ou Zhaohe's face was already a bit grim.
He was certain that Mo Wuji couldn't possibly be a high-level formation master. A Immortal Reverent, and also an eighth-grade Pill Emperor, and his age was rumored to be not very old. Even if such a person was a genius, he couldn't possibly be both an Immortal Formation Master and a Pill Emperor at the same time. Because Immortal Formation Master consumed the most time. Each advancement was accumulated over countless years, even more difficult than becoming an Alchemist.
Especially level seven or higher Immortal Formation, it was an accumulation of countless complex Dao rhythms and top-grade materials, and even the rules of heaven and earth. Even an Immortal Emperor needed to accumulate years to become a level seven Immortal Formation Master, and their understanding of the Great Dao had to far surpass ordinary people.
As for Immortal Formations below level seven, they were not enough to be looked at by the three of them. But the one in front of them was a level seven killing formation, which exceeded his expectations.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The three's attack magic treasures simultaneously bombarded one place, and the entire space trembled violently. Before the three of them could recover, a fiery red saber light crashed down.
"No, this is not just a killing formation, there is also a trapping formation and an illusion formation..." Ling Rong was a level five Immortal Formation Master. Although she couldn't set up a level seven Immortal Formation, she still had some knowledge.
Before Ling Rong could remind him, Ou Zhaohe also knew that this was not a simple trapping and killing formation. The Profound Yang Seal in his hand transformed into a giant peak and smashed back.
"Crack!" A slight cracking sound came, and Kuang Jin was startled. Before he could check what had made the sound, a huge seal like a giant peak blasted towards his Eight Trigrams Flame Saber.
"Puff!" Kuang Jin spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. Before Mo Wuji could take out a healing pill for him, he threw out the formation flag in his hand. A ray of light came, and Kuang Jin quickly rushed out of the light, disappearing in an instant.
He was injured with just one move, and the powerful Immortal Elemental backlash indicated that the other party's cultivation was far stronger than his. Kuang Jin was sure that he could only wait for death if he continued to stay. In addition, he heard the slight cracking sound, Kuang Jin didn't dare to stay. The cracking sound was clearly the sound of the trapping and killing formation breaking apart.
This concerned his life. He, Kuang Jin, was only helping out for a hundred years, and would not risk his life for Mo Wuji.
At the same time as Kuang Jin escaped, dozens of blade lights in the killing formation swept towards Ou Zhaohe. Streaks of blood splattered around Ou Zhaohe, and Ou Zhaohe hurriedly retreated.
At this moment, Mo Wuji's face turned ashen with anger. He knew that Kuang Jin would leave, but he didn't expect Kuang Jin to run away before it even started. If Kuang Jin hadn't escaped, he would definitely have severely injured Ou Zhaohe.
Unfortunately, Kuang Jin had escaped, and he could only summon the Half Moon Heavy Halberd and strike down with it.
This was the trapping and killing formation set up by Mo Wuji, and he didn't dare to recklessly strike out with the Half Moon Heavy Halberd himself. If Kuang Jin had been there, he could have used the formation flag to control it a bit. Now that Kuang Jin had escaped, he couldn't control the trapping and killing formation at any time, and the effect was immediately halved.
"Boom!" The halberd light fell and struck Ou Zhaohe's Profound Yang Seal, only causing Ou Zhaohe to suffer some simple external injuries.
"Attack with all your strength, that Immortal Emperor has escaped." Ling Rong immediately noticed Kuang Jin's escape, and the Pure Yin Silk Belt transformed into circles of illusory cosmic rings, wrapping around Mo Wuji.
De Pingsha obviously didn't miss this good opportunity either, and his Dark Spirit Claw was also summoned.
Mo Wuji's heart sank. He threw out another formation flag, and the trapping and killing formation in front of him changed again. Countless lightning arcs mixed with blade lights swept towards the three of them overwhelmingly.
This was still his trapping and killing formation. If it wasn't for his trapping and killing formation, Mo Wuji would have had to escape as far as possible at this moment.
A spatial binding force came, and Mo Wuji only saw circles of rings. Before he could break free, the Dark Spirit Claw directly tore a bloody gash in his chest.
Mo Wuji let out a long roar. He knew that if he only relied on defense, he wouldn't even be able to escape today, let alone kill enough to break even.
