Six Realms Immortal Emperor

The moment the protector uttered those words, the remaining five were thrown into disarray, filled with fear.

"Could it be that the other party got separated?" another protector suddenly asked.

"Guardian Zhou, Guardian Zhou, where are you?" The cries spread rapidly in all directions.

The five hurriedly released all their spiritual senses and exerted them to the limit, but unfortunately they still found nothing, and even their calls went unanswered.

Even if someone is dead, they should at least leave behind a body, but the five searched high and low, and there was no sign of the person, neither alive nor dead. The surroundings remained deathly silent.

This is too weird!

What could possibly be so silent and stealthy as to sneak up on them and successfully abduct a Dharma protector?

"Everyone, move closer!" Qiao Yuanqi suggested to the group.

When they entered the secret passage, since they belonged to different sects, they deliberately kept a distance of several feet between them to avoid suspicion. Now, for safety's sake, the remaining five had to try to stay together, with each person less than a few feet apart.

Like lost lambs in the forest, they were anxious and trembling, completely unlike their outwardly supreme demeanor.

After walking for about half an incense stick's time, the protector on the outermost side suddenly became frightened. He stammered and asked the person beside him, "Zhou... Protector Zhou, are you?"

"Yes, I've finally found you! I don't know why, but I suddenly got separated from you!" the other person replied, while speeding up to approach the five people.

The voice did indeed sound somewhat like Protector Zhou. Upon hearing this, the five people couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts, and their souls all moved closer to the other person.

Indeed, he looked exactly like Protector Zhou. Everyone scanned him with their spiritual senses several times but found nothing suspicious.

"Protector Zhou is skilled in tracking techniques. How could he have lost contact with us when he's so close?" Demon Lord Qiao Yuanqi was still somewhat uneasy.

"Oh, I don't know why either. I was walking along, and suddenly I couldn't find you anywhere." Protector Zhou paused abruptly, then explained, "Perhaps I accidentally triggered some mysterious restriction! Anyway, I've finally found you!"

"Oh!" the five replied verbally, but they were still somewhat skeptical.

In particular, why haven't they encountered any of the mysterious restrictions the other party mentioned, even after traveling for so long?

Therefore, the five continued flying forward while trying to maintain a distance from Protector Zhou. Protector Zhou did not mind and traveled with them.

However, this state only lasted for about a few hundred feet before one of the guardians suddenly let out a scream and fell silent.

"Protector Zheng! Protector Zheng!" Everyone rushed over, including Protector Zhou.

Unfortunately, Protector Zheng had already died and was unable to respond to them.

"Did you do this?" Qiao Yuanqi was furious and questioned Protector Zhou in a stern voice. At the same time, he released powerful magic and locked onto the other party.

The remaining three also became alert, unleashing various magical treasures and retreating to the other three corners to surround Protector Zhou and prevent him from escaping.

"I'm innocent! How could it be me?" Protector Zhou cried out innocently. "If you don't believe me, search us all you want!"

"Hmph!" Qiao Yuanqi snorted coldly, flew forward, and placed his arm on the other person's shoulder.

The other three were also closely watching everything. If Protector Zhou dared to make any rash moves, they would unleash their most powerful attacks on him.

However, Protector Zhou did not resist at all, allowing Qiao Yuanqi's powerful magic to penetrate deep into his body at a rapid pace.

"Hmph! It's not him!" Qiao Yuanqi said, frowning. He had clearly detected the other party's cultivation level.

"Oh!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as the three relaxed their vigilance, another unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, a scream came from one of the directions, followed by the sound of a magical artifact shattering and her own scream. Finally, with a loud thud, Qiao Junqi was thrown heavily to the ground. The sounds abruptly ceased, and silence returned.

"Palace Master Qiao! Palace Master Qiao!"

The person closest to Qiao Junqi was Yuan Biyan from Qingyou Temple. She mustered up her courage and asked a few questions loudly, but received no response.

In just a few breaths, with a few moves, the life of the generation's Immortal Sect Palace Master was ended, and everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

"Who, who is there?"

Under the search of everyone's soul senses, a figure appeared more than ten feet away from Qiao Junqi's corpse.

"Hahahaha!" The figure suddenly let out a sinister laugh that sent chills down everyone's spine.

"You are not qualified to know who I am!"

Qiao Yuanqi felt a surge of irritation. When had this figure appeared, managing to evade his powerful spiritual sense? As a dignified Demon Lord, he had never felt so humiliated outside. Yet, the series of unexpected events inside the secret passage made him inexplicably furious.

"Hmph! I don't kill nameless nobodies! With your abilities, you must not be a nameless person. Quickly state your name!"

As he spoke, the Demon Lord unleashed an incomparably powerful demonic energy, and a dazzling light suddenly shot out, traversing nearly a hundred feet of space like lightning, directly striking the figure!

Heavenly Annihilation Mysterious Moon Technique!

This is the most powerful demonic technique of the Corpse Refining Sect. If cultivated to the highest level, its power is second only to the Qian Yuan Absorbing Yang Technique of the demonic path.

Therefore, as soon as Qiao Yuanqi unleashed this demonic skill, Yuan Biyan of Qingyou Temple felt a chill in her heart and hurriedly retreated dozens of feet away.

No wonder Qiao Yuanqi was so confident. Among the immortals and demons, there were no more than five people who dared to take this move head-on, and no more than three who could actually withstand it.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Annihilation Profound Moon Technique had reached the figure, its powerful magic locking him firmly in place. Yet the figure remained motionless, neither dodging nor evading, nor having any time to dodge at all.

"Hahaha, die!" Qiao Yuanqi laughed unrestrainedly. Perhaps the next moment, the other party would be a corpse.

However, just as he was feeling extremely smug, a piercing pain suddenly shot through his chest. An arm had shattered his body and emerged from his chest.

"Haha, you're too impatient!"

Qiao Yuanqi looked back, but he found himself in a dark secret passage with no valuable information to be found.

Less than a foot behind him, Protector Zhou was holding the golden elixir inside his body with a sinister smile on his face.

The Heavenly Annihilation Profound Moon Technique is incredibly powerful, but it also consumes a great deal of magical energy. The timing of the opponent's attack was precisely when Qiao Yuanqi had exhausted his old power and had not yet generated new power, leaving him with no ability to resist.

"Who...who are you?" Qiao Yuanqi asked with his last bit of strength.

I like the Six Realms Immortal Emperor.
