"Old Protector!" Tai Shou was instantly excited!
The comer was none other than the most powerful Protector cultivator of the Tai Manor.
Previously, the old Protector had been busy guiding his elder brother's cultivation and had no time.
Now that his elder brother had gone to participate in the grand competition, he naturally had free time.
"Old Protector," Tai Shou excitedly grabbed the old Taoist's hand. "Can you take me with you? I want to personally kill those five brats!"
"Since Young Master wishes to go, this old man naturally will not refuse," the old Protector smiled slightly and flew away with Tai Shou.
After all, the previous intelligence indicated that those five people were only at the Qi Refining stage.
Even if the second Young Master were brought along, there would be no risk.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them met up with the disciples who had been following them.
"Where are the people?" Tai Shou was somewhat displeased. "Why didn't you capture them?"
In his opinion, dealing with a few Qi Refining cultivators should have been a piece of cake for these cultivators.
You actually failed to capture the people for me, this is simply dereliction of duty!
"Second Young Master, Old Protector!" everyone hurriedly bowed, their faces filled with trepidation. "Those five people are a bit strange..."
It turned out that after they had followed, they had also intended to capture the group of five first.
Because they were just a few Qi Refining cultivators, they casually sent one person over.
Then...
There was no then...
After waiting for a long time, the person still hadn't returned.
Later, unwilling to give up, they sent several more waves, and still, none of them returned...
After that, they didn't dare to make a move and could only follow from a distance...
"You group of useless people!" Tai Shou was immediately displeased. "You're all so timid, what's the point of keeping you!"
"Second Young Master need not be angry," the old Protector waved his hand. "It seems that those five people are indeed a bit peculiar. I'll go take a look myself."
"Old Protector, take me with you!" Tai Shou exclaimed excitedly. "I want to kill them with my own hands!"
Tai Shou had lived a life of luxury since he was young. He only bullied others; when had he ever been bullied?
For others, being beaten up might not count for much, but for him, it was a deep-seated hatred!
After all, in his perception, the entire world revolved around him.
Even though the disciples had said that the group of five was strange, he didn't care at all.
No matter how strange they were, what could they be?
Could they be more powerful than the old Protector?!
I, Tai Shou, am going to kill them today!
The old Protector was slightly displeased.
Tai Shou's tone of voice now was almost like he was ordering him.
Protector, Protector, naturally represented a transcendent status.
Let alone Tai Shou, even his father dared not speak to him like this.
However, the old Protector eventually endured it.
He knew what kind of person Tai Shou was, and it would be beneath his dignity to bicker with such a dandy.
Moreover, he needed Tai Shou's father's favor, so he couldn't say much.
Thus, the old Protector took Tai Shou and the remaining disciples and flew away.
In one aspect, he thought the same way as Tai Shou.
No matter how strange the other party was, how strange could they be?
In the face of his absolute power, everything was illusory.
Dozens of miles away.
The group of five patted the new soil on the ground, having finished the work of burying the person.
Er Ha was a little dispirited.
Two injured friendly forces had suddenly arrived just now, and it was initially very happy.
The friendly forces, even with their injuries, had sought them out, so it must be to report something important!
But it didn't expect the injuries to be so severe that they couldn't even speak, only able to stand there and tremble non-stop.
Unfortunately, these two friendly forces were not lucky enough to be saved.
Alas...
Life is truly fragile...
"It's them!" an excited shout interrupted Er Ha's thoughts.
Tai Shou, seeing that the people he had 'longed for' had finally appeared, was so excited that he was beside himself.
"Old Protector, you only need to subdue them. I will do it myself!"
The old Taoist did not speak and flew directly towards the Er Ha army.
He was too lazy to bother with Tai Shou, the simpleton, and wanted to finish the job quickly and go back.
Er Ha stared for five seconds and his heart lit up!
More friendly forces were coming!
And there were several of them!
This elderly bipedal beast had quite a few old injuries, so it had to be treated quickly!
The group of five also stared at the old Taoist with serious expressions.
They could see that there were many dark red light spots within the old Taoist, eroding his body.
The three spirit beasts also stared intently.
Even though they couldn't see anything, since Brother Ha was staring, they would just follow suit!
Following Big Brother's footsteps was the basic awareness and fundamental principle of being a subordinate!
Just as the old Taoist was about to make a move, he suddenly felt something was wrong!
Especially after making eye contact with Er Ha and the others, an inexplicable chill ran through his body.
The coldness instantly shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and goosebumps rose all over his body!
Not good!
There's danger!
Having spent years walking on the edge of life and death, cultivators like him had an instinctive intuition for danger.
These people were indeed strange, it was best to be careful!
As he thought, the old Taoist's body subconsciously dodged to the side.
Then...
Nothing happened...
The old Taoist was terrified to discover that his true qi was sealed!
No, not just his true qi!
He couldn't even move his body!
He couldn't even open his mouth!
The old Taoist's heart sank to the bottom.
Damn it, he'd been tricked!
What the hell were these supposed to be Qi Refining cultivators?
They were clearly powerful beings!
They suppressed him without even using their true qi, beings he absolutely couldn't afford to offend!
He now felt immense regret...
If he had a chance to do it all over again, he would never have come, even if he were beaten to death!
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.
He could only watch as the group of five, with friendly smiles, walked towards him step by step.
Of course, those smiles deepened the chill he felt on his body...
Don't come over!
Don't you guys come over!
Please...
"Old man, don't worry," the group of five said as they approached. They skillfully lifted the old Taoist. "We are professionals, and you will soon be able to say goodbye to pain completely."
Lift lid, place person, close lid, carry coffin.
The movements were smooth as flowing water, done in one go!
Peacock cleared its throat and stretched its neck.
"Wuliyawa—!"
"Wuliyawa—!"
"Wuliyawa—!"
"Deng—ga—!"
...
Accompanied by the eerie sound of suona and firecrackers, the group of five worked energetically.
A quarter of an hour later.
The music stopped, and the coffin was lowered.
"Brother Ha," the ceremonial death assessor, the crane, peered into the coffin. "The life force on his body has completely disappeared. If there are no accidents, he is truly dead."
"I know..." Er Ha was a little dispirited. "I didn't expect this friendly force to be so unlucky as well..."
"But we must transform grief into strength!" Er Ha suddenly turned its dog head, its eyes shining brightly as it looked at Tai Shou and the remaining disciples not far away. "There are still friendly forces waiting for us to rescue, let's act quickly!"
"Yes, Brother Ha!" The group of five turned around and strode towards Tai Shou and the others.
At this moment, Tai Shou had no thoughts of revenge at all, only despair in his eyes...
The Old Protector was dead...
The Old Protector, who was omnipotent in his heart, had died so strangely...
Is it my turn next...
No!
I don't want to die!
I am the son of the Minister of Rites!
I am still young!
I haven't enjoyed life enough!
Tai Shou struggled, trying to escape, but it was useless.
Now, let alone escaping, he couldn't even move a single finger...
In Tai Shou's line of sight, the figures of the group of five grew closer and closer...
On their faces, those friendly smiles remained...
No...
Don't you guys come over...
Don't...
The leader of the group of five gently patted Tai Shou's shoulder and said in a warm tone.
"Don't be nervous, we are professionals, and you will soon be free from all pain."
