Chapter 2509
2509 Who Will Win?
Of the people that Xie Qingcheng brought in, which of them had not received his kindness in the past?
But now, when he was in trouble, only the six Heaven Immortals before him were willing to follow him.
Prince Yan and the others had evil intentions and were watching covetously, ready to attack at any moment.
Xie Qingcheng did not want to implicate the six Heaven Immortals because of his persistence and put them in danger.
He was a prince after all. Even if he stayed here, his life would not be in danger. At most, he would endure some humiliation. However, the lives of the six Heaven Immortals might be in danger!
“Prince…”
The six Heaven Immortals called out softly.
“Let’s go.”
Xie Qingcheng pretended to be carefree and smiled. “Wait for me in the palace more than 20 days later. No matter if I succeed or fail, we have to get together and drink to our hearts’ content!”
“Alright!”
The six Heaven Immortals agreed readily.
If they insisted on staying, they would only be surrounded by Prince Yan and the others.
As for the six Heaven Immortals, they did not want to betray Xie Qingcheng and their only choice was to leave.
Right in front of Xie Qingcheng, the six Heaven Immortals tore apart their teleportation talismans and left the Asura battlefield.
Prince Yan sneered, “Xie Qingcheng, what are you still doing here? Are you waiting to embarrass yourself?”
“Perhaps he wants to snatch the Spirit Cloud Seal singlehandedly.”
The moment Heaven Immortal Yue Ying changed sides, his attitude changed completely as trampled on Xie Qingcheng to curry favor with Prince Yan.
“It’s none of your business whether I stay or leave!”
Xie Qingcheng’s tone was cold.
“Ouch.”
Prince Yan smiled. “My good brother, you’re quite indignant, aren’t you? Yue Ying, go up and teach him a lesson!”
“Wha—”
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying hesitated for a moment.
“Why? You don’t dare to? Are you still nostalgic for your old master?” Prince Yan turned around and asked with narrowed eyes.
“No!”
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying’s reaction was extremely fast as he denied hurriedly.
Although he was a little resistant in his heart, he knew that this matter could end up as a guarantee of his change of heart.
This was the only way he could truly gain the trust and high regards of Prince Yan!
At that thought, Heaven Immortal Yue Ying made up his mind and walked towards Xie Qingcheng.
“How dare you!”
Xie Qingcheng glared at Heaven Immortal Yue Ying with a cold gaze.
After all, he was a prince of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom. Now that he was enraged, he exuded the shuddering might of the royal family!
Although Heaven Immortal Yue Ying’s cultivation realm was higher than Xie Qingcheng, he had once followed Xie Qingcheng after all. Furthermore, Xie Qingcheng had once saved his life.
Now that he was glared at by Xie Qingcheng, he felt a little guilty and did not move for a long time.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Prince Yan was all smiles as he instigated, “It’s fine as long as you don’t kill him. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!”
“Thank you, Prince Yan.”
When Heaven Immortal Yue Ying heard that, he was relieved.
Xie Qingcheng cursed, “Ungrateful dog, I shouldn’t have saved you back then!”
At the mention of that, Heaven Immortal Yue Ying blushed and felt extremely embarrassed. Hatred rose in his heart as he raised his hand and slapped Xie Qingcheng, cursing, “Nobody asked you to save me! You were a busybody!”
Before Heaven Immortal Yue Ying’s palm could land on Xie Qingcheng’s face, his wrist was grabbed by another thick palm that was like an iron hoop!
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying could not move his arm at all.
Instead, a terrifying heatwave emanated from the other party’s palm, as though it could burn his arm to ashes!
“Fellow Daoist Lie, you…”
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying turned around and could not help but look terrified when he saw that person.
The person who stopped Heaven Immortal Yue Ying was Lie Xuan, who was beside Prince Yan.
“Brother Lie, what’s the meaning of this?”
Prince Yan frowned slightly.
Lie Xuan turned around and said in a deep voice, “Xie Qingcheng has the bloodline of the Yan Yang Immortal King after all. If he’s bullied by others, we’ll be disgracing the honor of the royal family.”
“Furthermore, he’s alone and won’t affect us at all. There’s no need to kill him.”
Prince Yan was a little unhappy.
However, Lie Xuan was a reincarnated Perfected Immortal. Prince Yan had gone to great lengths to invite Lie Xuan out of seclusion to help him this time round. As such, he had to give Lie Xuan some face.
“Alright.”
Prince Yan waved his hand. “I’ll listen to Brother Lie and not stoop to your level. Let’s go!”
With that said, Prince Yan left with a group of cultivators.
Lie Xuan let go and Heaven Immortal Yue Ying had a pained expression as he hurriedly withdrew his wrist.
In that short period of time, a brand was burned on his wrist and he could not feel his entire palm.
Even though he suffered a huge loss, Heaven Immortal Yue Ying did not dare to have any complaints. Enduring the pain, he fled from this place dejectedly without turning back.
Lie Xuan turned to leave with his hands behind his back.
“Thank you.”
When he arrived at the entrance of the residence, Xie Qingcheng’s voice sounded behind him.
Lie Xuan paused and glanced sideways. “The person you invited, Su Zimo, has indeed fallen into the lake. However, at that time, six of us who were on the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction were present.”
“To be precise, he fought against the six of us singlehandedly. That was the reason why he ended up in the Malevolent Blood Lake.”
When Xie Qingcheng heard that, he no longer had any doubts.
However, he had not expected that six of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking Prediction would join forces against Su Zimo!
“He’s very strong.”
Lie Xuan’s tone seemed to reveal a hint of admiration and pity.
After a moment of silence, he continued, “If I had fought him alone, the outcome might have been unpredictable.”
With that said, Lie Xuan left and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After everyone left, Xie Qingcheng sat on the ground dejectedly.
Right now, he was the only one left with nothing and was at a loss and helpless.
Even if he could still hold on to his beliefs, what else could he do in the face of such a situation?
Was he still going to take part in the battle for the seal 20 days later?
How could he fight against the other princes alone as a Grade 7 Heaven Immortal?
…
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this final day, the remaining seven princes of the Asura battlefield arrived at the lake in the center of the ancient city with their teams and awaited the final moment.
When the Paramita Bridge arrived, it also meant that the most critical and intense battle to snatch for the seal had officially begun!
Above the ancient city.
The six Perfected Immortals of Divine Firmament Palace perked up as well. The next battle would determine the ranking of many cultivators on the Heaven Ranking Prediction!
“Mmm?”
Divine Rainbow exclaimed softly, “There seems to be a team that hasn’t arrived?”
“It’s Xie Qingcheng. He’s the only one left in his team. He must have given up.” Divine Swamp explained.
“Make a guess. Who will get their hands on the Spirit Cloud Seal?”
Before they could reply, Divine Cloud said himself, “I’m guessing it’s Princess Yu Yan. She has the help of Zong Feiyu and has a high chance of winning.”
Divine Wind analyzed, “From the looks of it, Prince Yan’s team has the most people after devouring ten people from Xie Qingcheng. There are more than 60 of them. With the help of Lie Xuan, his overall strength is above Princess Yu Yan and the others and his chances of winning are not small.”
Divine Flames said, “Actually, the final fight for the seal does not depend on the overall strength of the team, but which team can guarantee that their prince will be the first to reach the Spirit Cloud Seal.”
“That will add countless variables to the battle for the seal.”
“Prince Ming Jiong has Song Ce’s help, Prince Feng has Heaven Immortal Luo Yang’s help, Prince Yu has Yue Hai’s help and there’s also the powerful Prince Tianhuang. It’s possible for all of them.”
“Divine Crane, who do you think it will be?”
The five of them turned to look at Fairy Divine Crane who had been silent for the past few days.
“I don’t know.”
Fairy Divine Crane shook her head gently and replied distractedly. Her gaze was still fixed on the lake below, as though she was anticipating something.
Suddenly!
Fairy Divine Crane’s expression changed!
