Chapter 159 The Indestructible Golden Egg, Long Shaoyu's Choice
Two golden eggs were colliding violently above the Divine Pond, and not even the combined attacks of all the Heavenly Prides could stop them in the slightest. Anything hit by the golden eggs, whether it was a Protective Shield, Defensive Magic Array, or Defensive Magical Artifact, shattered instantly.
Piercing screams echoed across the skies, with Heavenly Prides everywhere being blasted away, vomiting blood. The scene was spectacular and chaotic.
Su Qingyu looked at the chaotic scene with slightly furrowed brows but ultimately did not intervene.
Unlike the others, she was not here to compete for the Ancient Divine Lotus, but merely to gain experience.
The Heavenly Sword Pavilion had already fallen from grace, and she knew well that her strength was not comparable to the others.
The reason she had come here with Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai was two-fold: firstly, all other opportunities had already been snatched up by others; and secondly, her master had told her to unite with the Heavenly Prides of Central State, to ensure the unity among the major forces of Central State and prevent any conflict during these tumultuous times.
Indeed, she had previously worked together with Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai to face many dangers, but regarding these two rascals, she had a strange intuition that she should not make enemies with them.
Thus, even though ninety percent of the Heavenly Prides were attacking the two golden eggs, and notwithstanding Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai's urging, she never made a move.
"Young Master, shall we make our move?"
The young archer asked in a low voice.
The square-faced young man also looked towards Long Shaoyu; they both knew that Long Shaoyu had entered the Secret Realm intent on obtaining the Divine Lotus.
They had roped in the two rascals to hold back the other Heavenly Prides, allowing him the chance to sneak in and snatch the Divine Lotus.
Everything had been going according to plan, but nobody expected the Divine Lotus to have a Guardian and a Guardian Formation, which thwarted all their plans.
What was even more unexpected was the Guardian's question, which was so bizarre, yet the two rascals had managed to answer it correctly.
Now, it was highly likely that the two rascals had consumed the Divine Lotus and had become the two golden eggs.
Inside these golden eggs, there might still be pieces of the Divine Lotus or the unrefined Ancient Divine Power. If they could break open the golden eggs, there was a high chance of reaping immense benefits.
Long Shaoyu frowned deeply without answering, his face looking very grim.
Upon careful reflection, it seemed like every attempt to outsmart the two rascals always mysteriously failed, instead allowing the rascals to gain tremendous benefits.
The Guardian's question seemed tailor-made for the two rascals.
If it weren't for this being in the Secret Realm, he might even suspect that the Guardian was those two rascals' father; otherwise, why would he come up with such bizarre, yet perfectly fitting questions for the rascals?
Whoosh!
While he was deep in thought, a streak of golden light shot towards him.
"Young Master, be careful!"
The square-faced young man and the archer shouted in unison, wanting to block it, but the golden light was too fast, arriving instantly, passing between them and heading straight for Long Shaoyu.
Long Shaoyu was also startled and just about to activate his True Qi and Power of Laws to defend, but before he could, the golden light had already reached him, with a huge golden egg hovering in front of him, which, surprisingly, did not attack him.
The golden egg orbited around him, bouncing up and down, seemingly very happy.
After a few revolutions, it transformed back into a streak of golden light and shot away, striking a Heavenly Pride. Accompanied by a scream, that Heavenly Pride was sent flying, vomiting blood.
Long Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and watching the two golden eggs weaving through the crowd, he made a decision.
"Young Master, that golden egg recognizes you; it must be one of the rascals,"
the square-faced youth whispered.
The archer nodded in agreement, saying, "And their consciousness is clear. It's just that they probably can't get out of the golden eggs for now."
"Prepare for battle!"
Long Shaoyu said in a stern voice.
"Okay!"
The archer drew his bow and arrow, stating boldly, "Young Master, don't worry. Even if this golden egg is tough, I'll still shoot a hole in it."
Snap!
Long Shaoyu smacked him on the back of his head, causing him to stagger nearly falling from the sky.
"Young Master?"
The bow-holding youth rubbed the back of his head, a face full of grievances and confusion, wasn't it you who said to prepare for battle?
Long Shaoyu spoke irritably, "What I said was to protect the golden egg and face the Heavenly Prides."
"Ah?"
The bow-holding youth's mouth fell open, his face a picture of astonishment.
However, Long Shaoyu did not explain further. He had already taken the Holy Sword and burst through the air, Flame Sword Energy cutting through the heavens and earth. Wherever he passed, numerous Heavenly Prides could not react in time and were slashed into ashes by the sweeping Flame Sword Energy.
"Go on, don't think about it anymore."
The square-faced youth patted the still astonished bow-holding youth and also burst through the air.
"Alright then."
The bow-holding youth shook his head, bent his bow, and sent a series of arrows condensed from True Qi shooting through the air, severely injuring numerous Heavenly Prides.
The sudden change caught all the Heavenly Prides off guard, many of them not having the chance to react before being bombarded and killed.
"Long Shaoyu, what are you doing?"
Mu Yebai shouted sternly.
Su Qingyu did not make a move, but at least remained neutral. However, Long Shaoyu was actually helping those two golden eggs to ambush the Heavenly Prides, which was utterly unforgivable.
"Brother Mu may not know, but Long Shaoyu and those two brats were in it together. Back when we were fighting for the Divine Sword Fruit, it was Long Shaoyu who held us off, allowing those two brats to sneakily eat the Divine Sword Fruit," Lang Tianya said coldly.
"Then let's kill them."
Li Yuxin said coldly.
At this moment, Long Shaotian was entangled by a two-headed fiery beast, making this the perfect opportunity for her to snatch the Divine Lotus. She had to shatter those two golden eggs and was prepared to collect the rewards, allowing no one to interfere.
"Kill!"
Experience new tales on empire
The Heavenly Prides shouted in unison, some turning their heads to launch an attack on Long Shaoyu and the other two.
Naturally, Long Shaoyu and his companions could not withstand the combined attack of so many Heavenly Prides, especially since some of them were younger Martial Saints with higher Cultivations. The trio was forced to retreat repeatedly, and both the square-faced youth and the bow-holding youth were seriously injured.
Long Shaoyu turned to look at the two golden eggs, but he found that they had suddenly stopped moving in mid-air, regardless of how the other Heavenly Prides attacked them.
It seemed he had no choice but to take this final step.
Long Shaoyu took a deep breath and produced a Token, suspending it in mid-air. Then he made a series of hand seals and pointed at the Token. Power of the Flame Law surged into it as he shouted, "Elder, please aid me."
Buzz!
The Token vibrated, and a strong wave of energy rippled out.
"Long Shaoyu, you actually call upon a clan elder for those two brats?"
Lei Wanjun's tone was dark, for to be summoned by a young Martial Saint as a trump card, the elder had to be at least of Peak Martial Saint Cultivation.
With just them, they couldn't deal with the existence of a Peak Martial Saint unless they called upon their own Sect Elders.
However, in this Secret Realm, Elders didn't meet the criteria to enter the realm, and once summoned, they would be attacked by the rules of the Secret Realm. An elder summoned thus could only survive one or possibly two strikes before almost certain death. No one would use this trump card unless absolutely necessary.
Long Shaoyu remained silent, as long as he could coax those two brats into going to Cangzhou, coax them into doing his bidding, sacrificing a Peak Martial Saint was worth it.
Moreover, if those two brats still had some un-eaten Divine Lotus Fragments or something, he could gain some benefits.
The value of those two brats was much higher than that of a Peak Martial Saint.
"Shaoyu, I hope my sacrifice is worthwhile."
A sigh emerged from the Token, and the next moment, an aged figure appeared out of thin air.
Boom!
The moment he appeared, the sky of the entire Secret Realm became covered with dark clouds and terrifying lightning crisscrossed within them.
