Chapter 2118

Facing Hong Zun's gaze, Xu Jie raised his eyebrows in silent understanding; this was the tacit understanding between master and disciple.

Xu San. Also "beast" used generically.

Before coming, Xu Jie had already anticipated that this time it would most likely be impossible to reach an agreement, so he prepared a backup plan.

Hong Zun, Xu Jie.

"Take action" is a verb, not a name.

"Huh???" is not a name.

The moment the words left his mouth, the over ten attendants nearby were taken aback—what, attack?

They looked at one another, eyes full of doubt, having never been told beforehand that there would be this.

They had always thought the purpose of this trip was to ensure the safety of Xu Jie and his master Hong Zun.

We hadn't heard anything about attacking; moreover, if you're going to attack, you should give us a heads-up.

But before those ten-plus attendants could regain their composure, Hong Zun suddenly flung out four colored flags.

They flew into the air, positioned in the four directions, and quickly formed a grand formation.

The formation thus altered the situation here, or rather forcibly severed this place, temporarily creating an independent space that existed on its own.

Afterward, two spatial rifts appeared in the sky above, from which a male and a female figure stepped out.

Seeing these two people, the over ten attendants were stunned; they knew these two.

Like them, they were attendants of the Dao One Immortal Sect, but their cultivation was stronger, having surpassed the Immortal Emperor Realm.

They could be said to be the strongest group among the tens of thousands of attendants currently in the Dao One Immortal Sect.

I never expected these two to appear here; we hadn't seen them at all along the way.

At this moment, Xu Jie shouted loudly.

"Please, two seniors, make a move and subdue this ingredient, life or death doesn't matter."

"No problem."

Hearing this, the man laughed loudly; they had already discussed with Xu Jie and were just waiting for him to speak.

Now that negotiations have broken down, it naturally falls to the two of them to take action.

At this moment, the white qilin also roared angrily, sensing something amiss.

Its massive stature stood like a mountain, but before this man and woman, it was of little use.

Even before this white qilin, the two appeared as tiny specks, yet their eyes remained full of calm and ease.

Dealing with this beast was, for them, a matter of easy capture.

The next moment, the two attacked simultaneously, lunging at the white qilin.

With a huge gap in cultivation, and facing two opponents alone, the white qilin was naturally no match.

In a single exchange, it was easily subdued.

"Despicable humans, you......"

He raised his head to roar, but before the sound could fade, he was already seized.

The whole process went extremely smoothly; after the two captured the white qilin, Xu Jie's group stepped forward, and Hong Zun frowned slightly as he said.

"How do you plan to take it back? Just carry it away?"

Huh???

Hearing this, Xu Jie blinked, then scratched the back of his head and said.

"Hehe, my mistake—trouble you seniors to kill it, otherwise it won't fit into the space ring."

"Human, you...... you dare......"

Hearing this, the white qilin's eyes nearly burst; what kind of talk is this, what kind of talk is this.

The man and woman also regarded this with suspicion.

"Actually, it's unnecessary; we two can open a path and fight our way out completely safely."

"Right, it's fresher alive."

"No, seniors, listen to me and just kill it; otherwise my following plan won't work."

Xu Jie said firmly.

Regarding this, the man and woman said nothing more; after all, they had come out to follow Xu Jie's orders, so killing it was fine.

They just wanted a side dish as a reward for eating well.

The next second, under the white qilin's fearful gaze, it was killed on the spot.

Then its corpse was collected by Hong Zun into the space ring.

After doing all that, everyone should have returned, but the next second Xu Jie employed the Mìfǎ, transforming himself into the likeness of that white qilin.

Moreover, with the aid of numerous intricate formations, even his aura became identical.

"Little friend, what are you......"

Watching Xu Jie's series of actions, all the attendants present were dumbfounded.

What kind of performance is this now?

Facing the crowd's doubts, Xu Jie grinned and said.

"Seniors, don't panic; this is my junior's plan—you just need to return the way you came, and afterward I will handle things myself."

"You want to stay behind alone?"

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and that male attendant exclaimed with a look of having seen a ghost.

This is a beast horde; if they stayed behind alone and were discovered, it would be near-certain death.

Moreover, Xu Jie is merely a junior disciple with only Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation.

If his identity were exposed among the beasts, dying ten times would be considered lenient.

Everyone was shocked, but Xu Jie said there was no problem, he had already prepared thoroughly.

Even Hong Zun spoke calmly.

"We'll leave according to the plan, leave the rest to this kid, no problem."

"You...... you, are you really his master?"

Seeing Hong Zun say that, all the attendants suspected whether this master and disciple had some grudge.

How could a master say such a thing at this time?

As for that, Hong Zun couldn't be bothered to explain, he only said one sentence.

"You don't understand this kid, anyway it's fine, he can handle it."

"Yes, seniors, just rest assured."

Xu Jie also chimed in from the side.

Soon, as the four battle flags were withdrawn, this space was revealed again.

And the surrounding beasts didn't notice anything strange, that said, the Immortal Realm's major forces' Fairy Artifacts are really useful, the effect is awesome.

And as this space was revealed again, only see the white qilin that Xu Jie had transformed into, at this moment laughing loudly and saying to Hong Zun.

"Haha, not bad, not bad, I'll count your Dao One Immortal Sect as sincere; since that's the case, this king will give you a way to live."

"Thanks, Beast King, then we'll go back and prepare."

"Go."

Under the master and disciple's coordinated singing, Hong Zun's group boarded the immortal boat.

Earlier, that immortal beast stepped forward, and under Xu Jie's direction, it also sent the group away.

Along the way, the beasts did not obstruct.

Mainly, Xu Jie's disguise wasn't detected by the beasts at all, and many beast clans still didn't know that their beast king had already been replaced.

The true beast king, at this moment, lay cold inside Hong Zun's space ring.

Thus, Xu Jie transformed into that white qilin and remained among the beasts, while Hong Zun's group was safely sent out of the beasts and then departed leisurely.

However, on the immortal boat, some attendants still couldn't help worrying.

"That Xu Jie kid only has Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation; can he manage alone?"

"Yeah, his cultivation is too low; once exposed, we wouldn't have time to help, and in an instant the beasts would tear us to pieces."

Xu Jie's maneuver is practically a suicide move; it's no wonder the attendants are worried, it's really too dangerous.
