Chapter 834 - 772: Bluffing
Duan Gujin asked loudly."We are disciples of the Taihuang Immortal Sect. We noticed earlier that you are a Martial Saint, and thus we decided to follow you to investigate! We are doing this under the orders of the Taihuang Immortal Sect, so we ask for your forgiveness. We just want to investigate your background! Please truthfully report your real name and the sect you belong to. If you can prove that you are indeed a genuine Martial Saint, our Taihuang Immortal Sect will not trouble you!"
An elder with a third-level Martial Saint cultivation replied.
"What right do you have to investigate my identity?"
Duan Gujin snorted coldly, his mind racing as he pondered what kind of play the Taihuang Immortal Sect was putting on.
"Our Taihuang Immortal Sect is currently hunting for two Martial Saint experts, but we do not know their identities. Therefore, our Taihuang Immortal Sect decided to investigate any suspicious Martial Saints! I hope you will cooperate!"
The elder spoke while having his subordinates quickly fly to surround Duan Gujin's small courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin immediately understood.
"So the Taihuang Immortal Sect didn't know how to find Qing Lian and me, so they came up with this needle-in-a-haystack approach. It seems like they were a blind cat who caught a dead mouse, and they happened to run into Qing Lian and me!"
He sneered inwardly, and after a moment, he said, "I am a Martial Saint from another continent. You should leave quickly, as you are no match for me!"
After speaking, he secretly transmitted a message to Qing Lian, instructing her to send Li Shisan into her bracelet's space, and then they would face the experts of the Taihuang Immortal Sect together.
The Taihuang Immortal Sect elder frowned deeply upon hearing this.
He looked around but did not find any of Duan Gujin's hidden forces.
Many of the Taihuang Immortal Sect elders were furious after hearing Duan Gujin's words, as they had surrounded Duan Gujin and his companions with six Martial Saints.
In terms of strength, their side had at least six Martial Saints, and they could easily crush Duan Gujin in terms of power.
"Don't be too arrogant! Are you underestimating the strength of the Taihuang Immortal Sect?"
A Taihuang Immortal Sect elder rebuked angrily.
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, as he had been thinking about how to improve relations with Zhanhuang Tal. Now the people from the Taihuang Immortal Sect had delivered themselves, which was like being given a pillow when he was drowsy!
On the other side, Qing Lian secretly transmitted a message to Li Shisan, telling him that the people they had offended from the Taihuang Immortal Sect had come to their door, and they needed to escape rapidly.
"Li Shisan, my husband and I inadvertently offended the Taihuang Immortal Sect. I will take you with us and leave right now!"
Qing Lian channeled her Primordial Power, sending Li Shisan and the others into the space within her bracelet.
After securing Li Shisan, Qing Lian immediately released her Martial Saint aura, turning into a stream of light and disappearing from where she stood.
The next moment, she appeared beside Duan Gujin.
"Another Martial Saint!"
At this moment, the Taihuang Immortal Sect elders surrounding Duan Gujin sensed the aura from Qing Lian and frowned deeply.
"A male and a female Martial Saint, both of unknown origin. Isn't that exactly like the two Martial Saints the Taihuang Immortal Sect wants to apprehend?"
Very quickly, the elders present linked Duan Gujin, Qing Lian, and the wanted two Martial Saints together.
"Let's be open about this; we are the two Martial Saints your Taihuang Immortal Sect wants to apprehend! I don't wish to engage in a massacre today. If you don't want to die, you'd better step aside!"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath and released his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul.
The martial artists nearby had never seen such a Martial Soul like Duan Gujin's, and under the intimidating pressure from the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, their Divine Souls were a bit frightened.
"What a powerful Martial Soul! Could this person be a Demon Cultivator?"
The Taihuang Immortal Sect elders present saw that the Martial Soul Duan Gujin released was completely different from the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul and immediately thought Duan Gujin was likely a Demon Cultivator.
"Are you a Demon Cultivator?"
The elder immediately asked.
"Yes, I'm in a good mood today and don't want to start a massacre. You should leave. When you return, tell your Sect Leader that his disciples killed one of our companions, and the two of us will seek revenge in the future! Go back, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices!"
Duan Gujin said calmly.
The Taihuang Immortal Sect martial artists present were all angry but dared not speak.
Listen to that, what kind of words are those?
What does he mean by being in a good mood and not wanting to start a massacre? He's clearly looking down on their strength!
"Elder, let's attack together. We outnumber them and can easily wipe them out!"
"Elder, give the order. If we all charge together, we can grind them into pulp!"
Many Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples secretly transmitted messages to their elders, asking them to order the attack on Duan Gujin and Qing Lian.
But all the Martial Saint elders present shook their heads and finally gave the order.
"We retreat!"
The elder in charge of this operation, who was at the third level of Martial Saint, cupped his hands and said to Duan Gujin, "Friend, I will definitely relay your message to the Sect Leader! We retreat!"
With that, the third-level Martial Saint elder led his disciples and elders away.
