Chapter 507: Who Do You Want to Kill?
"What exactly do High Zenith Pills do? Surely it must have some extraordinary effects, considering how desperate Luo Qinghai and the others were to get their hands on these pills," Han Li suddenly asked through voice transmission.
"High Zenith Pills are extremely sought after among all Golden Immortals, but they're just as rare as they are revered," Daoist Hu Yan explained.
"Could it be that it has something to do with making a breakthrough to the High Zenith Stage?" Han Li asked.
"That's right. The most important effect of the High Zenith Pill is that it can help cultivators at the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal Stage ward off the fifth decay," Daoist Hu Yan confirmed with a nod.
"I see."
Han Li was ecstatic to hear this. Given Daoist Hu Yan's explanation, it was clear that High Zenith Pills to Golden Immortals were no less important than Golden Soul Pills to True Immortals, and they were clearly even more precious.
Furthermore, he had managed to obtain the most premium High Zenith Pill from that entire cauldron, and that was a massive reward to claim.
Daoist Hu Yan stowed away Ouyang Kuishan's body, then flew toward the remaining halberd-wielding puppet with Yun Ni.
Meanwhile, Han Li took a brief moment to inspect his own internal condition, then tightened his grip around his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword as he exchanged a glance with Wyrm 3, indicating for her to prepare to strike.
Right at his moment, a burst of dull rumbling rang out from the golden chair, causing the entire palace to tremble violently.
Even though the palace had already collapsed, the chair remained completely unscathed.
All of a sudden, the living corpse seated on the chair rose to its feet, and its entire body was giving off radiant gray light.
The golden light barrier seemed to have sensed something, and it also began to glow radiantly while countless palm-sized golden runes emerged within it.
However, that still wasn't enough for it to contain the gray light, and before long, thin cracks were beginning to appear on its surface.
A burst of elated laughter rang out from within the golden light barrier, and it wasn't very loud, but everyone who heard it was struck by a burst of sharp pain in the head, as if there were countless red-hot needles piercing into their souls.
Everyone hurriedly channeled their cultivation arts to protect their souls as they darted back in retreat with alarmed looks on their faces.
Han Li also flew back in retreat like everyone else, while Gongshu Jiu cast a bewildered gaze toward the golden chair.
Xue Ying flew over to Gongshu Jiu's side, then also cast her gaze in the same direction.
Inside the light barrier, gray light was churning incessantly, and nine bursts of gray light that resembled plume of smoke surged out of the light barrier before wrapping themselves around the nine golden stone pillars, then snapped them with ease. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
The golden light barrier immediately began to tremble violently as the cracks on its surface widened, following which it exploded with a resounding boom.
A figure slowly emerged from the vast expanse of golden light, and it was none other than the middle-aged daoist priest seated on the golden chair.
The middle-aged daoist priest paid no heed to Gongshu Jiu as he turned to Wyrm three and said, "Oh? I'm surprised there's still someone who remembers me. Who are you?"
"I am Wyrm 3 of the Reincarnation Palace," Wyrm 3 replied.
Red light flashed over her body as she spoke, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a beautiful woman in a red dress, but her face was concealed behind a crimson dragon mask.
"Wym 3, is it? I suppose I owe you a favor now. Who do you want to kill?" Mo Yu asked as he swept his gaze over his surroundings.
Wyrm 3 offered no reply to this, merely pointing a finger in Gongshu Jiu's direction before flying away to the side.
Mo Yu turned his gaze to Gongshu Jiu with a faint smile, but he then suddenly turned his attention to Han Li.
"You're in a real sorry state, kid. You're bringing shame upon the laws of time! I'll chat with you after I've returned this favor," Mo Yu chuckled, and everyone else present immediately turned to Han Li with peculiar looks in their eyes upon hearing this.
"How are you related to this Gray Immortal, Fellow Daoist Li?" Daoist Hu Yan asked through voice transmission.
"That's a bit of a long story. I encountered that soul fragment of his in an underground palace, and I brought it with me after I left. At this point, I still don't know whether he's friend or foe," Han Li replied with a wry smile.
"Could it be that you really did enter the legendary Moonlight Palace?" Daoist Hu Yan exclaimed with wide eyes.
"It looks like that must've been it," Han Li replied.
Meanwhile, Mo Yu's gaze returned to Gongshu Jiu, and he sighed in a resigned manner, "I'm not someone who likes to owe favors to other people, so I'm afraid you're going to have to die here. How would you like to die?"
"How laughable! Your soul has only just been restored, and your cultivation base is still unsteady! You're just bluffing to try and buy time for yourself!" Gongshu Jiu harrumphed coldly as he made a hand seal, and 10 misty white figures emerged in front of him, each of which was several times larger than the ones from before, and all of them pounced at Mo Yu at once.
"Oh crap, you got me! I didn't think you'd see through me so quickly! Are all immortal envoys this smart nowadays?" Mo Yu exclaimed as feigned a panicked expression, only to then blast a streak of gray light out of the palm of his hand as he declared, "One attack is all I'll need to kill you!"
As soon as his voice trailed off, the streak of gray light exploded into countless gray threads, all of which were flying through the air at an incredible speed before piercing through the bodies of the misty white figures in the blink of an eye.
All 10 of the misty figures were instantly rooted to the spot, then exploded into a vast expanse of white mist, much to the surprise and incredulity of Han Li and the others.
Those misty figures had caused them no shortage of trouble earlier, yet this Gray Immortal had just eradicated 10 of them in the blink of an eye!
After piercing through the misty figures, the gray threads continued to hurtle directly toward Gongshu Jiu, who remained completely unfazed as he opened his mouth to release a ball of white light, which transformed into an antiquated white mirror.
The antiquated mirror released a burst of white light that was filled with countless runes, and it formed a thick white cocoon of light around his entire body.
Mo Yu immediately switched to a different hand seal upon seeing this, and all of the threads of gray light converged toward a single spot, forming a thick gray arrow in the blink of an eye.
A formidable glacial aura was emanating from the arrow, and it was different from any type of law power, but was also not inferior to any of them.
A series of gray corkscrews of light also appeared around the arrow, and they began to revolve rapidly while giving off a terrifying screeching sound.
