Zhao Guang sneered, "How can we hand over the things that we have obtained?"
"Hmph, you Derro Prefecture people are really shameless. We were the first to discover the inheritance of the Immortal City, and we also killed the 'human-made' army. I even undid the restrictions here. You should just sit back and enjoy the show, snatching the Golden Puppet away. I, Sima Jingtao, have said this. If you don't hand over the Golden Puppet, you can forget about leaving. "
Sima Jingtao's tone was extremely decisive, and great fury surged between his brows.
Speaking of which, from the very beginning, the, Seven Profound Peaks, Ziyang Palace, and Sword Sect's teams had all come to the Immortal City one after another. Moreover, he discovered the inheritance of the famous' human form master 'from a thousand years ago.
Outside of the inheritance, there were countless humans guarding the army.
After spending a lot of time, the geniuses of the Four Major Sects had settled the human-made army, and with their understanding of the humanoid masters, Sima Jingtao of the Puppet Faction had truly opened the restrictions on the inheritance here.
That grand character from a thousand years ago had left behind a golden-pupiled android with the strength of the first stage of long habitat. Before Sima Jingtao could snatch it, it was snatched away by Zhao Guang who was hiding in the darkness.
However, not only the Devil Puppet City's troops had arrived, there were also the three teams from Spirit Sky City, Blood Sword City and Soul Saber City.
After a round of quarreling, the eight teams of 'Tian Xie's' side started fighting.
Under normal circumstances, Seven Profound Peaks, Sword Sect, and Ziyang Palace might not have bothered with the matters of Puppet Faction. But this time it was related to the 'Tian Xie' fight, so they would definitely not sit idly and do nothing.
"Hur hur." Zhao Guang laughed in disdain, "Sima Jingtao, with just your words, you want me to spit something 'in' out. This is too disgraceful for my Magic Puppet City, but …"
Zhao Guang changed the subject and continued, "Before we reach the Sacred Grounds, I really didn't want to fight you to the death. How about we make a bet? "
"Hmph, what tricks are you trying to pull this time?"
"Could it be that you, Sima Jingtao, are afraid?"
"What a joke, would I be afraid of you? "Betting on what?"
"You want to bet on your Puppet Faction and my Puppet City's manmade person being stronger? As long as you have any man-made human on your side that can surpass mine. I will return the Golden Puppet to you. "
What?
Yang Dingjie, Jian Yifei, Zi Ling and the other geniuses from the other Tian Luo Prefecture were all startled. The other party actually dared to compete with the golem, what was their intention?
"How is it? Do you agree? " Zhao Guang said with interest.
"Are you serious?"
"As a man, he will never be able to keep up with his words."
"If you really are a man, then you wouldn't take advantage of me." Ziyang Palace's Heaven's Pride Zi Ling said indifferently.
"Hahahaha, well said. Then let me compete fairly with you all."
As Zhao Guang spoke, he waved his hand, and a golden brilliance flowed out from the center of his palm towards the circular platform on the ninth floor of the plaza.
"Bang bang!"
Along with the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground, the ground violently shook, dust and dirt flew into the air, and dirt flew into the air. Astonishingly, a stone chair had appeared on the empty round platform earlier.
The stone chair was as spacious as a bed. On the stone chair, there was a golden puppet sitting on it.
This was an exquisite man-made with a broad body and shoulders that was about 2.5 meters tall. The golden light covering its body was resplendent, as if it was grinding sand with golden powder. One could tell with a single glance that this was not an ordinary object.
The eyes of Sima Jingtao and the other geniuses from the Puppet Faction lit up. That was the Golden Puppet that had been snatched away previously.
"How is it? Do I have any sort of sincerity now? " Zhao Guang raised his brows slightly, and said indifferently.
"Hmph, how do you want to compete?"
"As I said before, it's stronger than anyone's puppet. As long as your puppet can surpass ours, the golden puppet will return." Do you have any other questions? "
"You are asking to be humiliated."
"Haha, straightforward. Since no one has any objections, let's begin!"
The battle situation on both sides had temporarily stopped. The troops led by the Heaven's Pride evil seed put away their weapons and landed back on the ground.
On the Derro Prefecture's side, Xie Yang, Zhao Guang, Dao Huixian and Ge Liuyi were the leaders.
On the Tian Luo Prefecture's side, Jian Yifei, Sima Jingtao, Yang Dingjie, Zi Ling were the leaders.
The eight squads were divided into two factions, forming a standoff. They stood at the bottom of the nine level round table, with enough space in the middle.
"Let's begin!" Sima Jingtao shouted coldly.
"Hur hur, wait." Zhao Guang slightly smiled, he raised his eyes and swept them towards a certain place as he said, "You two who are hidden in the shadows, please come out!"
Everyone present was stunned. There were still people who did not appear?
As soon as he finished speaking, one in front and one behind, two figures flashed and Han Chen and Yin Ping appeared in front of everyone's line of sight.
"Han Chen?"
"Yin Ping?"
The geniuses from the Seven Profound Peaks and sword faction couldn't help but shout out. Especially the sword faction, all of their faces were filled with shock.
How is this possible? Didn't Han Chen and Yin Ping already die?
"Big brother."
At the same time, a clear and melodious voice entered Han Chen's ears.
Ming Ruo?
Han Chen's eyes lit up, he looked over, only to see a few figures rushing out from Seven Profound Peaks's group, led by Ming Ruo, followed by Gu Ling, Gu Li, Shangguan Mian, Ke Yinye and a few others.
"Big brother, are you alright? That's great!"
Before Han Chen could react, Ming Ruo had already jumped into his embrace, tightly hugging onto her neck, excited yet also pleasantly surprised.
"Silly girl, you're strangling me."
"Big brother, you're too evil. You always make me worry."
"Yes, it's my fault. It won't happen again."
As Han Chen consoled Ming Ruo, he let go of him slowly. Ming Ruo's eyes were red and filled with tears. In the past few days, she had been in a constant state of fear, afraid that she would never see Han Chen again.
"Han Chen, it's good that you're fine."
"You little brat, your life is really tough. I knew that you are an indestructible cockroach, haha." Ke Yinye stepped forward and punched Han Chen on the shoulder, his face had an unconcealable joy.
But seeing the concern in the eyes of his close friends, Han Chen felt warmth in his heart.
Shangguan Mian pursed his red lips as tears welled up in his eyes. Han Chen had gotten into an accident in order to save her. If something were to happen to him, Shangguan Mian would not be able to rest at ease for the rest of his life. Fortunately, the other party was safe and sound.
"Where are Fei Lin and Yan Wu? Where did they go? " Han Chen asked, but he realized that Qiao Feilin, Yan Wu and Xiao Hei were the only ones who were missing.
"They went looking for you somewhere else." Ming Ruo blinked her eyes, as if she was still afraid of what had happened that day. We looked for you everywhere that day, but we couldn't find you. When we met the teams of the Seven Profound Peaks later on, Yan Wu told us to follow them, and then she and Big Sister Fei Lin continued to look for you. "
"So that's how it is." Han Chen nodded and shook his head. He really didn't allow anyone to worry about him.
"So it's the geniuses from the Seven Profound Peaks and the Sword Sect!" You seem to have been here for a while! Ever unwilling to come out, could it be that you want to catch me off guard? "
turned his head to look and saw Zhao Guang looking at him with a playful smile.
Han Chen laughed, and answered calmly. "You think too much."
"That's right. A single Eighth level of the Heavenly Completion Stage, and a single at the fifth level of the Heavenly Completion Stage, indeed wouldn't be able to hold up much. Since he did not want to be caught off guard, it was most likely that he was afraid of death and did not want to get involved. The younger generation disciple of Tian Luo Prefecture, hehe …
Hearing Zhao Guang's ridicule, everyone in the Derro Prefecture revealed expressions of disdain.
They did not believe that Han Chen was afraid of death. A ruthless character who dared to cripple Pu Tianlin on the Heavenly Court Congress, would not be afraid of this kind of thing.
The people of the Derro Prefecture did not recognize Han Chen, nor did they witness his capabilities. However, seeing that he only had a cultivation level of Eighth level of the Heavenly Completion Stage, and looked down on them.
"Hmph." Ming Ruo frowned, she could not stand for others to insult Han Chen, no matter if they were from a heaven's pride level or evil seed. Just as she was about to retort, she was stopped by Han Chen.
"Forget it, ignore him. Let's go back first."
Han Chen's' return 'referred to the group that was heading back to Seven Profound Peaks. It was because he received a pair of gentle eyes. Those eyes were filled with concern, surprise and expectation …
Han Chen and Xue Xi looked at each other, a smile of understanding appearing on their faces. Xue Xi also smiled, her light smile was as elegant and refined as a white flower.
Soon after, Han Chen led Ming Ruo and the group walked towards the Seven Profound Peaks.
The disciples of the Seven Profound Peaks all applauded. In the Heavenly Court Congress, Han Chen had seized the position of heaven's pride expert in one fell swoop, but they did not have the time to celebrate for him.
"Junior Brother Han Chen, you're back."
"I heard something happened to you. Are you alright now?"
Facing the concern of all the fellow disciples, Han Chen replied with a polite smile.
As for the Heaven's Pride of the Seven Profound Peaks, Yang Dingjie's face was slightly gloomy, as though he was having a bad time.
Jian Yifei, who was part of the sword faction, had an even more gloomy expression, and a cold chill could be seen between his brows. He truly could not understand. Han Chen was still able to return alive, and even Yin Ping was not dead yet.
Could it be that the bottom of the abyss was not the lagoon of a dragon? There was no danger below?
"Junior Sister Yin Ping." All the disciples' gazes fell on Yin Ping.
Yin Ping's face tensed up, she clenched her jade hands tightly. After hesitating for a moment, she did not return to her sect's team, but neither did she go to the Seven Profound Peaks with Han Chen. Standing alone on the outside, he looked like an outsider.
Regarding her choice, the people from the sword faction also didn't say much. After all, Jian Yifei was the one who had personally thrown her into the bottomless abyss;
"Cough, cough!" Demon Puppet City's evil seed coughed twice, then glanced at Han Chen, his gaze returning to Sima Jingtao's body.
"Let the competition begin! Who do you want to go first? "
