#2324 - We are just ordinary people!

Before a day had passed, and before Jun Wuxie and the others were ready to leave, people were already approaching this area.

Ji Yuan and Yun Qingyang, who were sitting in meditation to recuperate, suddenly opened their eyes.

"They've come so quickly!

I wonder when our two factions' reinforcements will arrive!"

A hint of worry appeared on Yun Qingyang's face.

"What's the use of thinking so much now? Fellow Daoist Qingyang, after we go out, you should take the little friends and leave first, and I will hold back those people!"

"That won't do!" Yun Qingyang looked at Ji Yuan and said in a deep voice, "Although the people of your Ziwei Dao Earth have relatively strong physical bodies, you alone are no match for them.

Once you can't escape, you'll probably lose your life!

Your Ziwei Dao Earth alone can hardly guarantee that you can curb their murderous intentions.

If you add our Ziyun Immortal Palace, they'll have to weigh whether they want to completely antagonize the two major forces!"

Hearing this, Ji Yuan frowned and said, "If you stay, what about the little friends?

If everyone doesn't leave, wouldn't it be the same as offering ourselves up for nothing?"

Jun Wuxie said, "Don't worry, you two old brothers, if the situation is not good, we should be able to protect ourselves."

"Little friend, how will you protect yourselves?

I see that the little friend's realm is not high, and the little friend's two wives are only at the peak of the Yuan Immortal realm, and they can't compete with the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal realm at all."

Ji Yuan shook his head and sighed.

I wonder when our side's reinforcements will arrive.

The news of the Treasure Stone Workshop's stone selection event must have already spread.

The people in charge of the various forces should have already received the news.

"Don't worry, if we want to run, they can't stop us.

Besides, don't look down on my two wives just because they are only at the peak of the Yuan Immortal realm. Their physical strength is not weak. Even if they encounter a powerhouse in the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal realm, they can still fight head-on a few times."

Ji Yuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, since the little friend is so confident, then let's do that.

Little friend, remember not to be brave, and when it's time to leave, be sure to run far away without hesitation.

If the little friend can escape their pursuit, and in the future you see people from our Ziwei Dao Earth or Ziyun Immortal Palace, other than me and Yun Qingyang, the little friend must not reveal your identity, just in case!"

Jun Wuxie nodded.

Immediately, they left the cave and rushed out of the lake.

As soon as they came out, the people searching nearby instantly looked over.

"They're there!"

A thunderous sound echoed between the mountains, reverberating among the mountains, startling countless birds, a dark mass, fleeing into the distance.

In an instant, powerhouses from various forces arrived, breaking through the air.

Dozens of times the speed of sound erupted, bringing a large amount of sonic boom airflow, a vast expanse of white mist.

Powerhouses rushed from different directions, surrounding Jun Wuxie and the others on the island in the middle of the lake.

Profound Gate Immortal Sect, Arctic Immortal Gate, Lingxiao Immortal Sect, Divine Machine Dao Gate, Ancient Immortal Family Li Family, Mo Family, Jing Family, and so on.

A total of a dozen major forces, each major force led by a Nine Heavens Saint Immortal realm powerhouse, followed by many Yuan Immortal realm powerhouses, some even bringing the younger generation of geniuses.

These are just some of the major forces.

This time, there were too many forces tracking Jun Wuxie and the others. Currently, only these forces found them first.

This was because the Divine Machine Dao Gate temporarily joined forces with them, worried that Ji Yuan was too tricky, so they cooperated with other forces.

The Divine Machine Dao Gate is good at deduction techniques, and has extremely terrifying tracking methods.

Although they cannot use the laws within this secret land, their deduction techniques are still usable, but the effect is not as strong as outside.

"Ji Yuan, Yun Qingyang, you are really good at hiding!

It's a pity, no matter how well you hide, can you hide from the deduction techniques of the Divine Machine Dao Gate?

This old man can overlook the events of the stone selection event, but that Dao Wufa and the two women beside him, we must take them away today!

If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now and not get involved, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!"

A cold voice echoed in the sky above the lake.

The speaker was the Supreme Elder of the Profound Gate Immortal Sect, the old man who was frequently slapped in the face by Jun Wuxie at the stone selection event.

He had a sneer on his face at this time, his eyes were indifferent and strong, and he looked at Jun Wuxie as if he were looking at a dead man.

"What a joke, who do you think I, Ji Yuan, am?

This little friend has been kind to this old man, giving me a chance, and I will never allow you to harm him while I am here!

You are nothing but a defeated general, and you dare to be arrogant in front of me. It seems that the palm strike at the stone selection event didn't teach you a lesson!"

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! I think you're tired of living!"

The Supreme Elder of the Profound Gate Immortal Sect turned ashen.

It was really hitting where it hurts, causing the anger in his heart to burn.

"Fellow Daoists, why bother?

"The Supreme Elder of the Arctic Immortal Gate stroked his snow-white beard, looking like a detached immortal.

"You must know that the general trend is irreversible.

We don't want to forcibly snatch the things of young people.

But you should know what it means to be innocent, but to possess a treasure is a crime.

From the moment Dao Wufa opened the perfect quality immortal jade, his fate was already sealed.

Even if we take action today, the result will be the same when other forces find you.

Surely you don't want to contend with so many major forces?

Even if your Ziwei Dao Earth is relatively special, and your strength is stronger than other forces in this forbidden land, you are definitely no match for them in a one-on-many situation.

Moreover, your personal behavior today is forcibly confronting various forces.

I'm afraid your Ziwei Dao Earth will not approve of it."

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, you should think carefully." The Supreme Elder of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect also spoke, sighing, "The result is already foreseeable, you cannot go against the general trend.

Fellow Daoist Yun Qingyang, you also need to think twice, consider the consequences, and consider them for yourselves and for your Ziyun Immortal Palace.

As Supreme Elders of major forces, you should always prioritize the interests of the sect.

You and Dao Wufa are just acquaintances, a mere one-sided relationship.

Although he gave you a chance, it's not worth you protecting him like this, is it?"

"Enough nonsense, either let us take the three little friends away, or speak with strength!"

Ji Yuan's hair danced wildly, and purple blood energy erupted, like a boiling ocean, stepping on the water and rising into the air.

Yun Qingyang was also the same, stepping on the void, standing back-to-back with Ji Yuan, looking coldly at the powerhouses of the various forces, "If you want to fight, then fight!"

"Okay, Ji Yuan, Yun Qingyang, you are arrogant enough!

Since you want to humiliate yourselves, then this old man and others will fulfill you today!

If you want to protect Dao Wufa, you are daydreaming, overestimating yourselves!"

The Supreme Elder of the Profound Gate Immortal Sect released blood energy, and scarlet blood energy boiled around his body, his aura fully unleashed.

At this moment, more than a dozen Supreme Elders of various forces all released blood energy.

The boiling blood energy rolled up air waves and swept away, causing the calm lake to set off monstrous waves.

Buzz—

The sky trembled, and light bloomed.

A forbidden artifact was sacrificed, suspended above Jun Wuxie and the other two, and a waterfall-like energy fell down, forming a barrier, trapping them inside.

Obviously, the various forces did not intend to kill him directly.

Seizing the perfect quality immortal jade was one thing, but they also had other plans in mind.

Jun Wuxie, Chu Moli, and Chu Yudie remained motionless within the barrier, just quietly looking at the sky through the barrier.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan, wrapped in monstrous purple blood energy, rushed towards the barrier, and punched out, the purple blood energy turned into a great dragon, making a loud dragon roar, and blasted towards the barrier.

His purpose was very clear, to break the barrier and help Jun Wuxie and the others escape.

"You can't even protect yourselves, and you're still thinking about saving people?"

The powerhouses of the various forces took action, blocking Ji Yuan's fist mark.

For a time, a great battle broke out in the sky above the lake.

Palm prints and fist marks flashed, and thunderous sounds erupted between collisions.

The remaining force swept away, causing the void to tremble, and the lake water exploded hundreds of meters high.

The powerhouses of the various forces all knew that Ji Yuan's physical body was strong, and they focused on taking care of him.

A dozen people joined forces to besiege Ji Yuan, and three joined forces to besiege Yun Qingyang.

Yun Qingyang was one against three, and he almost only had the power to defend, and it was difficult to counterattack at all. He was quickly suppressed.

Ji Yuan's situation was even worse. One against a dozen, even if his physical body was much stronger than any single one of them, under the siege, he had to defend against attacks from all directions, making him overwhelmed. Soon, his body was hit several times.

After only a moment of fighting, both Ji Yuan and Yun Qingyang were injured, their blood staining their beards and clothes red.

Clang!

Ji Yuan's dark purple blood energy burned like flames, roaring to the sky, like a dragon's roar.

His fists and palms struck in all directions, and he fought hard against the dozen or so people who were besieging him.

Although he was constantly hit, sometimes he seized the opportunity to exchange injuries for injuries, and he could also hit his opponents.

The Supreme Elder of the Profound Gate Immortal Sect was hit by Ji Yuan's True Dragon Handprint, and his entire chest sank down, spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

He wiped the corner of his mouth fiercely, roared, and launched an even more violent attack.

……

"Husband, should we take action?"

Chu Yudie looked at the battle in the sky. Both Ji Yuan and Yun Qingyang had suffered many injuries and had become bloody men.

They didn't know how many bones had been broken in their bodies, and their internal organs were probably shattered. They were completely wrapped in blood energy, and they were fighting forcibly.

"Let's watch for now."

Jun Wuxie watched the battlefield.

As time passed, Ji Yuan and Yun Qingyang's injuries became more serious, and bones were exposed in many places on their bodies.

The powerhouses of the various forces, while besieging them, persuaded them to abandon their protection and leave.

But they did not say a word, responding with fists and palms, causing a flash of killing intent to flash in the eyes of the powerhouses of the major forces.

Many of the powerhouses of the various forces were also injured.

However, their injuries were nothing and could hardly affect their combat power, nor would they lead to physical decline.

"Lord God, if this continues, they might lose their lives," Chu Moli said softly beside him.

"Go ahead, show no mercy. Kill as many as you can. Only then can we lure out experts of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm," Jun Wu Xie said calmly.

"Mm."

Chu Moli and Chu Yudie responded softly, and with a palm strike, they shattered the barrier. Like two immortal shadows, they streaked across the sky and entered the battlefield.

Almost simultaneously, they struck a powerful expert in the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal realm.

The target they struck couldn't dodge at all, and didn't even have time to react.

Because they didn't expect the two women beside Dao Wufa to break through the barrier and possess such terrifying strength.

Two screams rang out, startling everyone else into looking over.

They saw the two figures flying backward, their entire chests pierced through, with shattered internal organs spilling out.

"Dao Wufa, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, concealing two Yuan Immortals with such powerful physiques!"

The experts from various forces were shocked and enraged. They immediately dispatched six people to jointly attack Chu Moli and Chu Yudie.

The two heavily injured experts quickly consumed immortal pills, refining life essence to heal their injuries and replenish their bodies' consumption.

With their bleeding stopped and bodies somewhat recovered, they immediately charged back into the fray.

Today, they were determined to capture Dao Wufa no matter what.

They were very clear about what Dao Wufa meant to their sects and families.

"Hahaha, you didn't expect it, did you? Little friend has two more experts by his side!" Ji Yuan laughed loudly at this sight.

"You two old brothers, go back and heal first. Leave it to them," Jun Wu Xie shouted towards the battlefield.

These two old brothers, from what he could see, genuinely wanted to help him. Their character was unquestionable, and they were worth befriending.

Ji Yuan and Yun Qingyang exchanged a glance and landed beside Jun Wu Xie, dragging their blood-soaked bodies.

"You two old brothers, are your injuries serious?"

"Hmph!"

Ji Yuan and Yun Qingyang both turned their backs, not wanting to pay him any attention.

"Are you angry?"

Jun Wu Xie sighed and said, "You two old brothers also said that the world is treacherous and people's hearts are unpredictable.

We met by chance, so of course I would have a defensive mindset at first. I hope you can understand."

Ji Yuan's lips trembled slightly. "We can understand, but we just can't swallow this feeling in our hearts.

You watched us fight those people to the death, almost getting torn apart, and you didn't lift a finger!

So we were destined to be your human shields.

We were constantly worried about your safety, but you treated us like monkeys!"

"Hey, but what can we do now that it's already like this?

How about I give you two old brothers some flawless-quality immortal jades as compensation?

No, no, you two old brothers are not the kind of vulgar people who can be compensated with immortal jades, are you?

That's not good. Let me think again…"

"That's very good. We are vulgar people, unbearably vulgar!" Ji Yuan and Yun Qingyang turned to face him at the same time, their faces covered in blood, but their eyes were bright, almost in unison.

Just then, a shrill scream came from within the battlefield.

The three of them looked over at the same time, seeing the Supreme Elder of the Gu Immortal Family, the Li family, having his head smashed to pieces with a palm strike, his primordial spirit shattered, and dying on the spot.

The death of the Li family's Supreme Elder shocked the experts from the other forces, and they all roared in anger.

Those members of the Li family who were watching from a distance turned pale and let out a cry of grief.

Immediately, they actually turned around and ran, extremely disheveled, causing the people from the other forces to tremble, both shocked and angry.

"You two old brothers, we'll settle it like this.

However, I don't have flawless-quality immortal jades right now.

The one on my body has to be reserved for my women to cultivate with.

Don't worry, with my skills, obtaining high-quality immortal jades is just a piece of cake."

"Of course we believe you. In the art of jade appraisal, you are a monster…"

Ji Yuan and Yun Qingyang exclaimed while healing their injuries.

Now that they thought about it, they still found it unbelievable.

They didn't know how Wufa did it, but what was undeniable was that immortal ore had no secrets in front of him!

Otherwise, how could he achieve a 100% success rate?

"Little friend, what are your plans next?

Having suffered losses this time, the various forces will inevitably send more Supreme Elder-level experts next time.

Although the sisters-in-law are strong, they can't fight against so many enemies alone. A head-on confrontation with the various forces is still not possible."

"I haven't thought it through yet. By the way, what's the deal with that Primordial Mine?

Is it only the forces behind the Treasure Stone Workshop that can mine the Primordial Mine?"

"That's not the case."

They explained that the Primordial Mine was not exclusively owned by any one family, but was rotated.

It was mined in turns by the major forces on Zhengyang Immortal Realm, the ancient life star they were on.

Each major force had one month to mine.

The Primordial Mine was too dangerous. Sometimes, with bad luck, they might not be able to mine a few immortal ore stones in a month.

The forces behind the Treasure Stone Workshop were lucky. Last time, they mined a large number of immortal ore stones.

Therefore, immortal ore stones from the Primordial Mine were particularly popular.

Whenever someone took them out to sell at the Stone Selection Convention, the various forces would go to select and buy them.

"Little friend is interested in the Primordial Mine?

That place is too dangerous. Little friend, you shouldn't have any ideas."

They didn't know what Wufa was thinking in his heart, whether he really had ideas about the Primordial Mine, but they still wanted to offer a reminder.

That place was really dangerous. Once they triggered a killing tribulation, even Grand Luo Golden Immortals would have to shed several layers of skin, and might even die inside.

Moreover, that was only the shallow layer of the mine. No one knew what terrifying things they would encounter if they went deeper.
