Chapter 4909: Escape

A young male voice rang out.

Wang Qingshan and the others exchanged glances, their eyes fixed on the Enlightenment Fruit Tree.

If the Murong family could acquire ten Enlightenment Fruits, they would certainly experience a surge in power. Should any family member comprehend a supreme law, unifying the Heavenly Morning Sea Domain would be no problem.

A giant, white-glowing blade struck the azure light barrier. The barrier dented inward but quickly returned to its normal state.

"Give them to you? What a joke. What we've obtained is ours."

Wang Qingshan sneered, and with a single-handed gesture, the Golden Kylin Sword flew back to him.

Wang Qingshan flicked his finger, and an azure sword energy swept out, shattering the red giant hand. At the same time, a thick azure light barrier appeared around his body.

"Six-colored Chaos Beast!"

Wang Yingjie exclaimed.

No sooner had he spoken than the ground began to shake violently, like an earthquake. Long, thick cracks appeared on the ground, and dust billowed.

Wang Qingshan and the others remained unfazed; neither side was willing to give up the Enlightenment Fruits.

"Hand over half of the Enlightenment Fruits, and we will leave immediately."

Murong Yunshang said.

"I want one!"

The man in the golden robe said.

"Our main forces from the Murong family are already on their way. It's best if you hand over the Enlightenment Fruits; otherwise, even if you escape this place, our family elders will still catch you once you leave Sky Rites City."

Murong Yunshuo threatened.

Wang Qingshan was about to speak when a loud beast roar echoed. Five three-colored Chaos Beasts, at the True Immortal mid-stage, charged forward and pounced on them.

A dazzling yellow light emanated from Wang Yingjie's right foot, turning the earth into sand and raising clouds of dust. A massive yellow earthen wall instantly appeared, shielding them.

"Don't even think about leaving! Stay!"

The man in the golden robe spoke, his body radiating golden light. He moved both fists and smashed them towards the yellow earthen wall.

With a thunderous roar, the yellow earthen wall shattered into pieces, and three black lights shot towards them.

A golden, shimmering armor appeared on the man in the golden robe. The three black lights struck the golden armor, and the man let out an agonizing scream. His body went limp, and he collapsed, his eyes vacant and his face pale.

He had taken three hits from the Soul Destruction Finger, his spirit severely damaged, rendering him completely unable to fight.

A golden sword light swept out, cutting him in half, his Nascent Soul also cleaved in two.

On the other side, the yellow earthen wall was smashed to pieces by a three-colored Chaos Beast.

A dragon's roar echoed, and a white dragon's claw shot out, striking the three-colored Chaos Beast. The beast was sent flying backward, with three horrifying bloody gashes on its body.

Murong Yunshang and Murong Yunshuo were entangled by three three-colored Chaos Beasts. They quickly donned their Chaos Armor to protect their entire bodies, and the three-colored Chaos Beasts were temporarily unable to harm them.

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Qingshan and the other four flew into a three-story azure pavilion, with two three-colored Chaos Beasts in pursuit.

The Golden Kylin Sword in Wang Qingshan's hand burst forth with dazzling golden light. He slashed towards the void, and a sharp golden sword light swept out, cutting the two three-colored Chaos Beasts in half as easily as slicing vegetables.

"Don't think you can escape!"

Murong Yunshang raised her right hand, and a red-glowing talisman flew out. It instantly exploded, transforming into a massive fire qilin that radiated terrifying heat, charging directly towards the azure pavilion.

A golden sword light and a golden saber light swept out, accurately striking the fire qilin.

With a thunderous roar, the fire qilin's body exploded, turning into a massive crimson sun that enveloped the entire estate, reducing many buildings to ashes.

Murong Yunshang and Murong Yunshuo, protected by their Chaos Armor, were unharmed, but they found it somewhat difficult to contend with the attacks of the three-colored Chaos Beasts.

Four black lights shot towards them. Just as they were about to dodge, four yellow giant hands emerged from underground, lightning-fast, seizing their ankles. Simultaneously, a powerful gravitational force emanated from the ground.

They had no escape and were each hit by two black lights, feeling as if their souls were being torn apart.

"Soul attacks! These are Soul Destruction Fingers! Are you descendants of the Li family?"

Murong Yunshang exclaimed.

There were many types of soul attacks, but this one strongly resembled the Soul Destruction Finger.

Their answer was silence. Two four-colored Chaos Beasts lunged forward, knocking them to the ground. Even with the protection of their Chaos Armor, they were pinned down by the beasts. Four more black lights shot out, accurately striking their bodies. Both screamed repeatedly as their souls suffered severe damage, their reactions slowed, and they were torn to shreds by the Chaos Beasts. Their Chaos Armor was also destroyed.

The crimson flames dissipated, leaving the entire estate leveled. Wang Qingshan and the other four were nowhere to be found.

The six-colored Chaos Beast rushed over, sniffing a few times, but could not detect the scent of Wang Qingshan and the other four.

"Find them and destroy them."

The six-colored Chaos Beast declared loudly. The other Chaos Beasts seemed to understand its words and dispersed in all directions, searching for immortals within the city.

On a vast, boundless grassland, a golden, shimmering giant ship swiftly glided through the sky. The ship was equipped with eight low-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons. A team of cultivators stood on the deck, led by Murong Zhengxian.

Upon encountering the appearance of Sky Rites City, Murong Yunshang immediately notified them, then entered the city to search for treasures.

Murong Zhengxian personally led the team, rushing towards the White Horse Mountain Range, hoping to arrive in time.

Murong Yuhe emerged from the cabin, quickly walked over to Murong Zhengxian, and said, "Bad news, Ancestor Zhengxian. The vital soul lamps of Ancestor Yunshang and Ancestor Yunshuo have extinguished, and Fellow Daoist Li's vital soul lamp has also gone out. It seems they met with an accident."

Murong Zhengxian frowned deeply and said, "Speed up. I hope we can make it."

He quickly performed a hand seal, and the golden giant ship immediately flared with golden light, accelerating its escape speed.

"Support? Currently, there is no force in the Immortal Realm capable of supporting me. I can go wherever I please, and no one has the right to dictate my actions. Consider yourselves lucky to have encountered me here this time."

The Enlightenment Fruit Tree spoke human words.

"I'm going to play with them now. Take care of yourselves. I hope to meet you again next time."

Murong Yunshang exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, if I can choose to appear randomly in a certain place, why can't I speak?"

The Enlightenment Fruit Tree spoke human words, its voice rather young and its leaves swaying from side to side.

"Senior, why not visit our Murong family as guests? Our Murong family is willing to provide for you and supply you with cultivation resources."

Murong Yunshuo said sincerely. This Enlightenment Fruit Tree had existed for at least a hundred million years, making it at least a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"You can speak?"

"What 'you' and 'us'? That was for you from me. Am I not here?"

After saying this, the Enlightenment Fruit Tree's body radiated intense azure light and vanished from its spot.

Wang Qingshan and the others exchanged glances. Who were the "them" the Enlightenment Fruit Tree mentioned? Dao artifacts? Or other rare treasures of heaven and earth?

"Hand over the Enlightenment Fruits. I only need one."

The man in the golden robe spoke, possessing the cultivation of a True Immortal Grand Perfection.

The azure cloth bag covered the tenth Enlightenment Fruit and reeled it back into the bag.

After the tenth Enlightenment Fruit was plucked, the Sound of the Great Dao disappeared. Wang Qingling and the other four had regained consciousness, their expressions varied.

"We want them all. If you don't hand over the Enlightenment Fruits, we'll kill you without mercy."

Murong Yunshang said coldly.
