The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 391 Protective Talisman
Inside and outside Dragon Head City, all was quiet.

Even Wang Wu was a little frightened. He had now truly witnessed what a Taiyi True Immortal was like, and he had also truly understood the enormous gap in strength between the two sides.

In short, they're not to be trifled with.

He felt that even if he used that tattered Book of Creation, he probably still wouldn't be able to kill this Turtle Taizhen.

Moreover, without the help of the Holy Knight of Light to draw aggro, Wang Wu wouldn't be able to withstand that tortoise with its immortal artifact. The Hidden Origin Bell also doesn't seem to be omnipotent.

because--

"Warning: The base of the Hidden Origin Bell has been damaged to varying degrees due to the attack by the immortal artifact. Please carry out repairs immediately or apply for repairs from headquarters."

Relevant information appeared on the jade talisman.

So it wasn't the Hidden Origin Bell that was damaged, but the base. The base was too weak; it was damaged to varying degrees after only withstanding two attacks from the immortal artifact.

This branch of the Hidden Origin Society is too... well, what are you thinking? It blocked two full-force attacks from immortal artifacts, what more do you want?

In addition, Wang Wu looked down at the fragment of rosy light that he had accidentally grabbed earlier. The object was still breaking apart, turning from a large piece into many fragments, and then continuing to break apart, creating a kind of annihilation beauty.

However, this thing does not truly perish, but continues to fission, as if waiting for its master to recall it.

Wang Wu dared not delay and immediately used the jade talisman to make an appraisal. After consuming 500 strands of human five elements, the appraisal result was quickly formed.

"A broken protective talisman, also known as a protective immortal light or a protective divine light, is a special protective talisman that can only be cultivated by Taiyi True Immortals and above. It can be used to protect oneself instantly when encountering a sudden attack. This item does not have the constraints of a natal magic weapon, so it can be traded and given away. Even ordinary mortals or ordinary objects can obtain a very considerable defensive effect as long as they are designated to be protected."

"If this item is to be sold, based on your authority, it can be sold at the original price, and you will receive 120,000 strands of human five elements."

"If this item needs repair, based on your authority, it can be repaired at a 60% discount, which will require 150,000 strands of human five elements."

-

"Holy crap, a protective talisman?"

Wang Wu was taken aback. This was truly a good item. It wasn't a celestial artifact, but it wasn't bad either. No wonder that tortoise looked like it had lost its ancestor; it was heartbroken and depressed.

Besides, why is the repair price higher than the selling price? Are you taking advantage of my inability to repair things?

Wang Wu certainly wouldn't sell it, because it was essentially an anonymous protective talisman.

But as for repairs, I'm sorry, he really doesn't know how to do them right now.

He then put the item into his storage bag, planning to deal with it later when he had more time.

Then, in a flash of thought, he appeared in Dragon Head City. Since the base of the Hidden Origin Bell was damaged, it naturally needed to be repaired, something he was very good at.

However, before he could even begin to repair it, the jade talisman vibrated slightly, displaying another message.

"Laying Flat, I know you're here. Come out and have a word with this old man!"

It's Song Guangming!

Holy Knight of Light!
This message wasn't sent to a group, was it?

Sure enough, the next second, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord sent a message.

"Don't go back. Song Guangming still can't determine your location, but I really didn't expect that you have already cultivated to the Earth Immortal Realm. Don't worry about that Turtle Taizhen anymore. It won't dare to launch a strong attack on Dragon Head City. Don't try to attack it again either. Although you broke its protective divine light, it will definitely not give you a second chance to sneak attack. You have done a very good job in this matter."

Looking at these two messages, Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, but did not heed the advice of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord. From now on, the Hidden Origin Society could be considered his home. After all, Guangming Song was a ninth-rank elder, and since he could not kill him for the time being, he still needed to establish a channel of communication.

If Song Guangming offered him enough benefits, he wouldn't mind cooperating well, since they didn't have much enmity with each other at the beginning.

Of course, it is very important that he is now a second-rank steward, so Song Guangming can no longer openly harm him.

How should we negotiate?

Wang Wu sent a message.

The next moment, Song Guangming replied to the message instantly.

"Let's make a deal. If you agree to relocate the base, I'll help you deal with Kameta."

"I refuse! The Hidden Origin Society's base can only remain here! This is my bottom line!"

"Then there's nothing more to discuss. Let headquarters decide!"

Song Guangming abruptly ended the conversation. The next second, he reappeared outside Dragon Head City, his face pale, blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes tragic, and his expression furious!
"Gui Taizhen, don't push your luck! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to fight you to the death?" After saying this, Song Guangming unleashed a burst of light that filled the sky, and he actually launched an attack on Gui Taizhen.

"Song Guangming, Cao Nima!"

Enraged, Gui Taizhen didn't hesitate and launched his ultimate attack. Song Guangming barely managed to defend himself, but ended up spitting out blood and being blasted back to Dragon Head City. At the same time, the Hidden Yuan Bell reappeared and blocked Gui Taizhen's full-force attack.

To outsiders, this seemed like a perfectly normal duel.

But Wang Wu could tell at a glance that Song Guangming was too insidious and too immoral.

He deliberately lured Gui Taizhen to keep attacking him with immortal artifacts, which caused the base of the Hidden Origin Bell to be completely destroyed!

Thus, with an existing foundation already built to the north, even the headquarters of the Hidden Origin Society would have to agree to the relocation.

However, you, Song Guangming, can try again. I wasn't prepared just now!
Wang Wu gritted his teeth, prepared his hair and ultimate move, and positioned himself accordingly. As long as Song Guangming drew aggro again, he would dare to flank and attack again.

Even if the base of the Hidden Origin Bell is completely destroyed, as long as Gui Taizhen is severely injured, it will be worth it.

But just as Wang Wu was thinking this, he didn't expect that Gui Taizhen outside the city would snort coldly and split into nine, just his avatars. Now each of his avatars possesses the strength of a first-grade master.

Moreover, these eight avatars took their positions and formed a kind of incomprehensible formation, directly protecting Turtle Taizhen's surroundings.

Wang Wu couldn't understand it, but he knew he was out of options!
This time, there's really no other way.

They can't even launch a sneak attack anymore.

Because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, even a slight delay from Gui Taizhen's eight Earth Immortal-level avatars, even by just a millisecond, would be enough for Gui Taizhen to kill him on the spot.

This is not a joke.

At this moment, the jade talisman vibrated again, and Song Guangming sent another message.

"Lying Flat, don't even think about using the same trick again. You were lucky just now. Gui Taizhen was caught off guard and never expected anyone to do such a thing! But you can't do that. You don't even have a ninth-grade immortal artifact. You're not even a terrestrial immortal. You can only jump around a few times by relying on your concealment ability. If you don't believe me, try it now. Don't even mention getting close to Gui Taizhen. As long as you appear within three hundred miles of Gui Taizhen, it has a hundred ways to make your soul disappear!"

"Let's cooperate. It's not too late. You're already a second-rank steward of my Hidden Origin Society, with a bright future ahead of you. Why risk your promising future for some escapees and for a mere Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord you've only met once? Don't you think it's pointless for you to get involved in this conflict?"

"In a few years, the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance will inevitably have a life-or-death battle. Your escaped friends will be the first to be sent to the battlefield by the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord, and they will all die in a few days. How many of them can you save?"

"But if you cooperate with me today, I'm not just making empty promises, I'll give you ten thousand spots. You can pick and choose whatever you want from the Sin Prison Legion. Bring over all your relatives and friends. Under the protection of my Hidden Origin Society, isn't that more worthwhile than staying in the Sin Prison Legion?"

"You don't really think that just because those escapees come from the same place as you, they're all one of you? You treat them like family, and they'll treat you like a friend?"

Song Guangming's messages kept flashing by; it has to be said, this old guy is quite good at bluffing.

Because Wang Wu was indeed considering the cost of continuing things. He had never seen the terror of a Taiyi True Immortal before, so he was still thinking of helping the Sin Prison Legion. Now, he felt that it would be good enough if he could just bring out General Snow Wolf and Madam Yu.

It's safer to stick with the powerful Yin Yuan Society.

In addition, his risky attack to break Gui Taizhen's protective talisman, although it failed to achieve the goal of drawing away the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord, did change things, so he did not fail in his mission.

So, let's talk about it?
Just as Wang Wu was about to reply via the jade talisman, the message from the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord arrived.

"Don't believe Song Guangming's words or any promises. The situation has become more complicated. Although the apparent cause is the conflict between you and Gui Taizhen, it is actually caused by the dispute between the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance."

“For Song Guangming, there was originally only one scapegoat, Gui Taizhen, but now there is another one, and you are more suitable than it.”

"Don't think that being a second-rank deacon can absolve you of your sins. Although the Hidden Origin Society has always adhered to neutrality and does not care about the status of Hidden Origin deacons, it is still a huge sin to have affected the branch altars of the Hidden Origin Society and caused serious consequences because of personal grudges."

"Once the Hidden Origin Society headquarters confirms that it was your personal feud with Gui Taizhen that affected Dragon Head City, forcing Song Guangming to engage in a fierce battle with Gui Taizhen to protect Dragon Head City, ultimately resulting in the complete destruction of the Hidden Origin Bell base, then you will either have to bear the punishment or compensate for the losses!"

"Do you know that Song Guangming, Gui Taizhen, and I have actually been negotiating in secret? Gui Taizhen is not as simple as he seems on the surface. So your best course of action now is to leave Dragon Head City as soon as possible. Use the Hidden Yuan Bell to teleport five thousand miles away and use your stealth abilities to leave and hide for a while."

-

Good heavens, this former Madam Lu, now the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord, is quite the smooth talker.

"Laying Flat, have you thought this through? My patience is limited, and I also appreciate talent. Don't test my limits."

Song Guangming's message came again.

Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I have no relatives or friends to take care of. Give me 200,000 strands of human five elements, and I will immediately agree to your relocation application! Moreover, I guarantee that I will not interfere again and will leave Dragon Head City immediately."
