Flash! Piao Yan Zun Huang reached out fiercely towards Ming Zhi Tian, but the Star Empress blocked in front of Ming Zhi Tian: "Stop! I said, let him go."
Piao Yan Zun Huang was slightly stunned, then slapped her hard. "Slap!"
A red palm print appeared on the Star Empress's delicate face.
Consumed by the desire to obtain the 'Shu Jian Lu', Piao Yan Zun Huang lost all reason: "Those who block me die!"
The Star Empress clutched half her face. "Zhi Tian, go quickly."
Ming Zhi Tian nodded. "Star Empress, take care of yourself."
Piao Yan Zun Huang immediately pursued, with the Star Empress following.
Ming Zhi Tian had not run far when Gu Zhen Yang and others, who had been waiting at the main gate, saw their prey arrive and were ready to capture him.
Ming Zhi Tian swung his fists. "Xing Long Yao Hua Ji Jue!"
Fists and halberd in unison, with both hardness and softness, stirring up a wave of energy.
Gu Zhen Yang ordered his subordinates: "Just a mere Awakening Realm Triple, everyone, no need to be cautious, kill him!"
But in the next second, Ming Zhi Tian's fists struck down a servant of the Divine Luo Realm First Level, killing him.
This immediately made them take the situation seriously. "An Awakening Realm Triple, capable of killing a Divine Luo Realm First Level expert across realms?"
Gu Zhen Yang steadied the morale: "Everyone, do not panic. It must be the 'Shu Jian Lu' causing trouble. Let's go together! One concerted effort to seize the 'Shu Jian Lu', and this person will be defeated without a fight."
"It must be so!"
Though they thought this, they had to be cautious, lest they be instantly killed.
Piao Yan Zun Huang arrived. "I am here to lend you a hand!"
Gu Zhen Yang couldn't help but frown. This was clearly an attempt to snatch the book! He gave him a sideways glance.
Piao Yan Zun Huang pretended not to see. The Star Empress also joined the battle, of course, standing on Ming Zhi Tian's side.
"Zhi Tian, you know full well you hold the 'Shu Jian Lu' and are the target of all arrows. Do you dare to wander out? Are you tired of living?"
Ming Zhi Tian couldn't help but give a bitter smile. "Star Empress, you misunderstand. I came because you sought me out several times, and I wanted to see you once, to offer an apology for my negligence. I am sorry."
The Star Empress truly felt speechless with Ming Zhi Tian. For this, he would risk his life?
But upon second thought, Ming Zhi Tian was risking his life for her, and she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
This was the first time the Star Empress joked with Ming Zhi Tian. She and Ming Zhi Tian stood back-to-back, facing the enemy as if prepared for a great battle. "You did very well this time, but don't do it again next time."
Ming Zhi Tian was stunned at first, then his heart warmed. "Star Empress, thank you for your forgiveness."
He then summoned the 'Shu Jian Lu'. "Don't you want it? Everyone fight for yourselves and come get it!"
In the eyes of the crowd, Ming Zhi Tian was completely defenseless. They believed his arrogant words were only because the Star Empress was by his side.
Gu Zhen Yang said: "Empress, we all live in the Divine Emperor Sacred Land Sect. Are you going to fight your own people?"
The Star Empress was disgusted by his demeanor. "Pah! From the moment you murdered the Immortal Divine Emperor Gu Luo Qi, I looked down on you. I disdain to be allied with your schemes. If you want to fight, then fight!"
Last time, Gu Zhen Yang had led ten great powerhouses to pursue Bai Liu Li, but Ming Zhi Tian had killed three of them, forcing him to flee with the remaining seven, tails tucked between his legs.
This time, because this was the Divine Emperor Sacred Land Sect, their own territory, Gu Zhen Yang had brought twenty great powerhouses. Even with the 'Shu Jian Lu' in Ming Zhi Tian's hands, it would be difficult to withstand the simultaneous attacks of twenty great powerhouses.
Gu Zhen Yang smiled slightly. "Take him down!"
"Let's see who dares!" The Star Empress flicked her long whip! "Crack!" It struck two of them, repelling them.
Gu Zhen Yang said: "Why are you hesitating? Don't you see Piao Yan Zun Huang doesn't intend to make a move? All of you, go!"
The Star Empress and Ming Zhi Tian were immediately surrounded. Piao Yan Zun Huang said: "Chen'er, you have nothing to do with this, step aside."
The Star Empress glanced at him but said nothing. Ming Zhi Tian shouted: "Yu Lin! Yan Wang! Zhan Huang! Qi Bu Fei Jian!"
Piao Yan Zun Huang's eyes widened. These were all Dragon-level artifacts, and obtaining even one of them would be enough to make one invincible in the entire Cultivation World.
