#520 - The Five Elders Are Cautious

Now that Qin Lin had brought up past memories, Qin Liang blushed a little and scolded, "Ahem... Joining Commander Qin's command, we are all civilized people."

"Qin Lin, the past is in the past, don't mention it again in the future."

Qin Lin was about to continue teasing Qin Liang when he saw Qin Liang's threatening look.

In the past, Qin Liang not only verbally abused people, but when he was tired of scolding, Qin Liang would also choose to use violence to control violence.

Qin Lin had been beaten a lot over the years, and memories full of pain appeared in Qin Lin's mind, so Qin Lin decisively chose to shut up!

In the sky, the Second Elder said, "Tian Du, you and that idiot Tian Yuan came here together, could it be that you want to break the potential agreement between us?"

The Great Elder said, "Tian Qing, with the changes in the current situation, is there still a need for that potential agreement to exist?"

The Second Elder said, "Do you mean to completely tear up the potential agreement between us from now on?"

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "It's not about completely tearing up our agreement from now on, but from the moment you prematurely intervened, this agreement no longer exists."

The Second Elder said, "Okay, then it seems you want to fight me today?"

The Great Elder looked at the Second Elder with a hint of fear in his eyes.

It was true that the Second Elder was a small realm lower than him, but the Second Elder had a treasure in his hand.

With this treasure, the combat power that the Second Elder could unleash was basically on par with him.

If the two were to fight to the death, neither would benefit.

This was also the fundamental reason why the Great Elder, who had the strongest cultivation and combat power for so many years, had always tolerated the existence of the Second Elder's faction.

If he really fought with the Second Elder, the final result would only be that the鹬蚌相争渔翁得利(鹬蚌相争渔翁得利:鹬蚌相争渔翁得利 (yù bàng xiāng zhēng yú wēng dé lì) is a Chinese idiom. It translates literally as "when the snipe and clam grapple, the fisherman profits." The meaning is that two parties fighting each other will benefit a third party).

Such a stupid thing that would benefit other factions of the Heavenly Capital Sect for nothing, the Great Elder and the Second Elder would never do.

But now that the Second Elder had taken the initiative to speak, if the Great Elder Tian Du refused or left without saying a word...

The entire Heavenly Capital Sect faction would think that the Great Elder was afraid of the Second Elder.

If this reputation were to spread, it would definitely be very detrimental to the survival and development of a faction.

The Great Elder Tian Du said to the Second Elder Tian Qing, "Tian Qing, since you have taken the initiative to invite me, then what if I fight with you?"

The Second Elder Tian Qing shouted, "Okay, then let's have a fight."

The Fifth Elder Tian Yuan saw that the two were about to fight and carefully asked the Great Elder Tian Du:

"Great Elder, after you and that brute Tian Qing fight, what about Qin Buyi?"

The Great Elder looked at the Fifth Elder and said as a matter of course, "Isn't there still you? You go rescue Deqing and the other three, and by the way, kill that Qin Buyi!"

The Fifth Elder pointed at himself in disbelief and said, "You mean me???"

The Great Elder nodded and said, "It is you who will go. Now Deqing and the other three are at the peak of their combat power, and with your help, killing that Qin Buyi will be no problem."

Hearing this, the Fifth Elder cursed the Great Elder in his heart.

If you want to say where the most dangerous place in the battlefield is, it is definitely Qin Buyi's place.

He wasn't blind, once those ten-odd tyrannical bloody lights in the formation erupted, he would instantly be reduced to ashes!

But the Great Elder had already spoken, and the Fifth Elder didn't dare to refuse under such circumstances.

Without saying anything more, the Fifth Elder headed towards Deqing and the other three in silence.

After the Fifth Elder left, the Second Elder Tian Qing took the lead in launching an attack.

"Tian Du, you and I haven't fought for several years, let me see if your skills have improved today," the Second Elder shouted.

The Great Elder also shouted, "That's exactly what I want, let me have a good look at whether your treasure is still as powerful as before!"

After saying this, the two instantly fought into a团(团:group)...

On the other side, the Fifth Elder Tian Yuan's speed towards Deqing and the other three could be described as slow...

As for what teleportation was, the Fifth Elder Tian Yuan seemed to have no idea!

Otherwise, with the cultivation of an Earthly Immortal Realm, such a short distance would have been reached with a single teleportation.

When Deqing and the other three saw the Fifth Elder's performance, they urged one after another, "Fifth Elder, quickly come to support us!"

"Fifth Elder, hurry up!"

"What are you flying for? Fifth Elder, just teleport!"

"Fifth Elder, could it be that you want to abandon our lives?"

After the Fifth Elder heard these words from Deqing and the other three, his speed became even slower...

But what he said was completely different from his flying speed: "Deqing, Dehui, Deming, Deyuan, you four hold on a little longer!"

"I am not good at flying, this is already my maximum speed!"

"Be sure to hold on, I'll be there soon!"

Deqing and the other three were so angry that their noses were almost crooked, and they were still not good at flying...

It was understandable if a cultivator who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm said this.

The Fifth Elder Tian Yuan was already in the early stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and he had probably spent more time flying in the sky than sleeping in these years.

If he was still not good at flying, then no one would be good at flying!

Seeing the Fifth Elder dragging his feet, Deqing and the other three had no way to do anything, and the hope of survival was still in his hands.

If they really spoke too harshly, wouldn't the Fifth Elder, who was already unwilling, be able to take advantage of Deqing and the other three's attitude to make an issue of it?

Deqing and the other three could only keep urging him in their mouths...

Qin Buyi sneered at the Fifth Elder Tian Yuan when he saw this scene: "Where is your momentum from just now?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to make me die without a burial place? Is that all you've got?"

Hearing this, the Fifth Elder pretended not to hear it, and silently approached Deqing and the other three at a turtle's pace.

Seeing this, Qin Buyi stopped talking. As long as the Fifth Elder continued to advance towards Deqing and the others at this slow speed, it meant that he was not far from death.

While Deqing and the other three were cursing the Fifth Elder in their hearts, they were also operating the spiritual power in their bodies, constantly injecting it into the scroll in their hands to maintain the formation that trapped Qin Buyi.

After Deqing and the other three took the pills, the formation gradually recovered from the verge of collapse once again...

However, this time, the formation only recovered about one-fifth, and four-fifths were still in a broken state.

The situation was still very critical. If Qin Buyi broke out and attacked again... maybe...

What was even worse was that in order to maintain the operation of this formation, the spiritual power consumed by Deqing and the other three every second was 90% of their bodies!

A full 90%! Now Deqing and the other three were eating pills to restore spiritual power, not one by one, but a handful by handful.

If they didn't replenish the spiritual power in their bodies in time, the formation would explode instantly!

At that time, Deqing and the other three would definitely die without a whole corpse under the explosion of the formation!

Inside the formation, Qin Buyi waited for the Fifth Elder's slow approaching figure, while silently chanting in his heart:

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"
