Chapter 119: The Bewildered Hongjun! Where Did So Much Hongmeng Purple Qi Come From?!

"Do not let Di Jun and the others get away!"

The various great beings who had just missed the chance to enter the Map of Mountains and Rivers almost all chased after Di Jun and his group at the same time.

Zhenyuanzi, Minghe, and the others were secretly delighted the moment they saw Di Jun and his party attracting all the fire.

Yet, they did not make any unusual moves, instead following the others and chasing after Di Jun and his group as well.

They all felt that since Di Jun and his party were already acting as scapegoats, they should do so thoroughly, which would allow them to completely hide the fact that they had obtained Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Consequently, the area around the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became much quieter.

A few Ancestral Witches saw this situation and could not help but want to go up and chase after Di Jun and his group as well.

Gonggong could not help but frown and ask, "Could Lu Yun have really sold that Hongmeng Purple Qi to Di Jun?"

If this were true, it would not be a good thing for their Wu Clan.

Zhurong, however, said carelessly, "Even if he did, it doesn't matter. You don't think Di Jun could actually have a chance to become a Saint under our siege, do you?"

Jumang also laughed and said, "Zhurong is right! Besides, we are not the only ones who don't want to see Di Jun become a Saint!"

The Ancestral Witches looked at the various great beings chasing after Di Jun and his party, and smiles appeared on all their faces.

Xuanming's heart suddenly stirred, and she guessed, "Could it be that Lu Yun intentionally used this method to make Di Jun and the others the target of public criticism?"

Dijiang nodded and said, "Very likely! Let's go join in the fun too, and see exactly what kind of methods those two feathered birds have come up with after hiding for so many years!"

The other Ancestral Witches agreed one after another.

In fact, they had long sensed that the Demon Race had become increasingly arrogant lately, and they had guessed that Di Jun and the others must have concocted some method to counter their Dutian Shensha Array; their previous provocations toward the Demon Race had also been to test them.

Unfortunately, the Demon Race had never taken the bait.

However, this was an excellent opportunity.

Because he was afraid that the other powerful beings of the Great Desolation would be unable to force Di Jun and his party to use their trump cards, Dijiang decided to go join in the fun himself.

The other Ancestral Witches were also unable to restrain themselves and followed along to chase after Di Jun and his party.

Soon, only Houtu remained at the scene.

Houtu had little interest in chasing after Di Jun and his party; instead, she felt she should remain here.

In case those Saints wanted to take advantage of everyone leaving to forcibly make a move on Lu Yun, she might be able to help Lu Yun.

Thus, Houtu continued to guard the area near the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood while silently roasting meat to eat.

……

Inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Although the entrance and exit had been sealed, Lu Yun could still observe the situation outside.

When he saw many people chasing after Di Jun, a smile could not help but appear on his face.

It was worth it that he had left the transaction with Di Jun for last, and that he had sent everyone outside immediately after completing the transaction.

In this way, Di Jun and the others had no time to adjust their state of mind, and they were absolutely the most likely to expose that there was a problem with them!

Yet, because they had truly bought "Hongmeng Purple Qi," they would never suspect there was any problem with it and would have to bear this trap!

As for the others, they would hopefully take this opportunity to leave quickly, further reducing the risk of his plan being exposed! As for whether Di Jun and his party could withstand the siege of the crowd, that was no longer his concern.

Just then, he also noticed Houtu, the only one who had remained at the scene, and instantly understood her intention in staying behind.

A warm current could not help but surge in his heart.

Originally, he had wanted to open the Map of Mountains and Rivers again to let Houtu in, but after thinking about it, he abandoned the idea.

Because he could not be sure whether the Saints had left by now, and it would not be good if he aroused their suspicion. Moreover, it was better for Houtu to stay outside and keep watch; even if the other Ancestral Witches needed assistance, she could respond at any time.

As for Lu Yun himself, he prepared to cultivate once more.

The Ginseng Fruit obtained from Zhenyuanzi, the Huangzhong Plum acquired from the Queen Mother of the West, and the many cultivation resources gathered from others were just enough to allow him to improve his cultivation level once again! If he could reach the perfection of the Black Hole Stage, or even reach the Origin Stage, it would be equivalent to breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level of the Great Desolation! At that time, his ability to survive in the Great Desolation would be significantly improved.

Lu Yun made his decision: before breaking through to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it was better for his true self not to leave the Map of Mountains and Rivers for the time being.

Even if he needed to take action, he would at most send an incarnation to do it for him.

Thus, before he could officially begin his cultivation, he needed to first complete the cultivation of the Hongmeng Incarnation Technique!

Thinking of this, Lu Yun had already determined his next plan.

He found Nuwa and Fuxi, who had re-entered, and stated that he needed to cultivate for a while to comprehend a Supernatural Power, asking Nuwa to protect him for a period of time.

Nuwa readily agreed: "No problem! As it happens, I also intend to let my brother continue to comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Qi here."

A smile appeared on Lu Yun's face: "That is truly great! By the way, if possible, please trouble you, Goddess, to tell the Ancestral Witch Houtu about my situation later."

To this, Nuwa naturally agreed happily.

Although Lu Yun was now the master of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Nuwa could still control the Map of Mountains and Rivers and enter and exit freely as long as Lu Yun did not intervene. It was just like when Nuwa had previously lent the Map of Mountains and Rivers to Lu Yun for his use.

As long as Nuwa did not expose herself, others would not guess that the actual master of the Map of Mountains and Rivers had changed.

Subsequently, Lu Yun did not delay any longer, turned around, and returned to his previous place of seclusion to begin comprehending the Hongmeng Incarnation Technique! ……

Within Chaos, in Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun, who was sitting cross-legged inside the main hall, suddenly opened his eyes.

He murmured in a low voice: "Have they finally come out of that Map of Mountains and Rivers?"

As it turned out, ever since Lu Yun and the others had entered the Map of Mountains and Rivers, even Hongjun, who had merged his body with the Dao, had been unable to investigate what they were doing inside, and even the aura of the Hongmeng Purple Qi had been temporarily concealed.

It was not until Lu Yun sent Di Jun and the others out of the Map of Mountains and Rivers that he suddenly sensed it again.

Yet, just the next moment, a look of astonishment appeared on Hongjun's face: "What is going on? Why is there so much Hongmeng Purple Qi aura?!"

At this moment, in his perception, five auras of Hongmeng Purple Qi had suddenly appeared in the Great Desolation, and they were all near the Human Race's Zhushan Tribe! This situation was clearly abnormal!

Thus, with a wave of his hand, a Treasure Mirror appeared before him.

This Treasure Mirror was none other than the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Haotian Mirror! At present, Haotian and Yaochi were still serving as Dao boys in Zixiao Palace, so Hongjun naturally had not yet bestowed this treasure upon Haotian. As Hongjun's thoughts stirred, the Haotian Mirror shimmered with brilliant light, and it soon manifested the situation at the Zhushan Tribe in the Great Desolation.

Looking at this, he happened to see Di Jun and the others flying at high speed, attempting to shake off the various Quasi-Saints chasing behind them.

Hongjun sensed carefully and was shocked to perceive a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi aura from Di Jun's body, and thus understood why Di Jun and the others were being hunted down like this.

What he could not understand, however, was that among the crowd chasing Di Jun and the others, Zhenyuanzi and Minghe also possessed the aura of Hongmeng Purple Qi on their persons.

Beyond this, Hongjun also sensed two other auras of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

He pinched a magic seal, and the Haotian Mirror reflected the locations of those other two auras; they were none other than the Queen Mother of the West and Ao Yin, who had already quietly slowed their pace, preparing to find an opportunity to leave.

"What on earth is going on? Why have four more strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi appeared out of thin air?"

Hongjun's expression changed again and again, yet he still could not fathom what exactly had happened.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi had been sent out by him in the first place, totaling only seven strands; aside from those on Laozi and the others, only the one he gave to Lu Yun remained.

But why had four more strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi of unknown origin appeared out of thin air now?

He attempted to calculate and deduce the matter, but he also gained nothing from it.

"Could it be that someone has discovered the true mystery of the Hongmeng Purple Qi and has even managed to replicate it!"

When this thought surfaced in his mind, Hongjun's expression could not help but sink.

Because, if that were truly the case, the real mystery of the Hongmeng Purple Qi might very well be exposed, which was not a good thing for him! He still had to rely on Heavenly Dao Saints like Nuwa, and he absolutely could not allow any problems to arise in his plans! Yet, at this moment, he could not act rashly.

Because he felt that anyone capable of replicating the Hongmeng Purple Qi and concealing the heavenly secrets from his knowledge could not possibly be simple! "The other party must be connected to that Lu Yun! Perhaps he is just waiting for me to reveal my own flaws!"

After much deliberation, Hongjun continued to observe patiently, waiting to see where those four extra strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi came from before deciding on a course of action! Thus, he silently stared at the Haotian Mirror.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Di Jun and the others were becoming impatient with being chased, especially those Ancestral Witches, who attacked while pursuing, leaving them in a wretched and extremely furious state! Baize was currently trying to find a way to deal with the present situation.

While continuing to fly, he transmitted his voice to Di Jun and Taiyi: "Your Majesty, please leave as quickly as possible; we will hold them off!"

He felt that with the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique of Di Jun and Taiyi, their speed was unrivaled in the Great Desolation; if they separated from the rest of the Demon Race, it would truly not be difficult to shake off those chasing from behind.

And since those people were all after the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Baize felt they could not possibly be willing to fight to the death with them.

Di Jun was also very much in agreement with Baize's suggestion.

He said in a deep voice: "Then this Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor shall take our leave first and wait for you at the Heavenly Court!"

As his voice fell, he and Taiyi accelerated together, executing the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique, and transformed into two golden lights heading toward the Heavenly Court.

However, those powerhouses were all risking their lives for the Hongmeng Purple Qi; seeing this, some even directly utilized secret arts that burned their own essence, wanting to stop Di Jun and Taiyi at all costs.

The Ten Great Demon Sages immediately took action one after another to cover Di Jun and Taiyi.

Thus, a chaotic battle erupted on the scene instantly! "All of you, get lost!"

"If you want to catch up to the Demon Emperor, you must get past us first!"

……

Amidst the roars, streaks of brilliant divine light suddenly appeared, and the collision of Supernatural Powers and Spiritual Treasures broke out in an instant!

Ancestral Witch Dijiang, who was among the crowd, suddenly sneered: "Di Jun, you want to run? It won't be that easy!"

The next moment, he directly executed a Space Great Dao Divine Ability; his figure appeared in front of Di Jun and Taiyi in an instant, and he manifested a thousand-foot-tall Dharma Heaven and Earth, stomping down fiercely toward Di Jun and the others!

Di Jun and Taiyi hurriedly dodged.

Although they dodged in time, their Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique was interrupted by him.

"Damn Dijiang!"

In a fit of rage, Di Jun was about to urge the River Chart and Luo Book to fight Dijiang to the death.

Taiyi hurriedly stopped him and transmitted his voice: "Brother, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is more important! You return to the Heavenly Court first, I will hold them off!"

Di Jun also calmed down instantly, turned his head abruptly, and once again executed the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique in another direction.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Dijiang shouted loudly, intending to execute his Supernatural Power again.

But before he could go up to intercept, he suddenly saw Taiyi cast out a large bell, which smashed toward him violently.

"Dijiang, your opponent is me!"

The large bell used by Taiyi was none other than the famous Eastern Emperor Bell!

"Boom—"

The Eastern Emperor Bell emerged, and the winds rose and clouds surged! A gale-like force swept across the wilderness, and the ripples released by the Eastern Emperor Bell created vortices in the void; the powerful shockwave made it impossible for Dijiang's Dharma Heaven and Earth to get close, forcing him to retreat temporarily.

Under the cover of this scene, Di Jun transformed into golden light and continued to speed toward the direction of the Heavenly Court. Taiyi, facing the furious Dijiang, showed no weakness; holding the Eastern Emperor Bell with mighty momentum, he entangled with him in battle.

As the two sides collided fiercely, the other Ancestral Witches also arrived one after another, joining the battle immediately.

At this moment, Taiyi, along with the Ten Great Demon Sages and the Demon Master Kunpeng, were fighting against the eleven Ancestral Witches and many other Great Desolation powerhouses, falling into a disadvantage for a time.

However, the other Great Desolation powerhouses did not want to entangle with them; instead, they thought of chasing down Di Jun while the Ancestral Witches were holding Taiyi.

Seeing this, Taiyi could finally hold back no longer; he held the Eastern Emperor Bell high and shouted: "Form the Zhou Tian Star Formation!"

Kunpeng and the Ten Great Demon Sages had already made preparations, so they coordinated with him immediately.

In an instant, a massive killing array centered on the Eastern Emperor Bell took shape rapidly, directly surrounding the many powerhouses nearby and giving everyone a fright.

Jumang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhou Tian Star Formation? Is this the so-called trump card of the Demon Race?"

On the other side, Minghe and Zhenyuanzi, who had been looking for an opportunity to leave, both chose to withdraw at the same time and took the opportunity to leave in different directions.

Seeing this, no one else had the slightest suspicion, because the reaction of the Demon Race just now had basically convinced everyone that the Hongmeng Purple Qi must be on Di Jun.

With Minghe and Zhenyuanzi no longer competing with them, it was actually a good thing for them! Rushing to finish the attendance, updating in a hurry, didn't even write the chapter title; if you see the ending is chaotic, refresh and read it again...
