Chapter 1251 - 1251: Betraying Teammates

In an instant, nearly a thousand demon cultivators appeared in front of them.

The strength of these demon cultivators varied, some had reached Daoist Venerable level, while others were only at Emperor Realm Ninth Layer.

Qi Wu Daoist Venerable and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable felt some pressure.

Even if this Tiger Demon had just gone out and offended people, being hunted down, the number of pursuers was just excessive!

With so many people, wanting to kill our way out might come at a price!

However, it is worth it.

The two looked towards Jiang Cheng's back simultaneously.

Facing such a formation, this kid is doomed!

The task given from above would be completed to perfection.

Thinking of this, the two found the task too easy.

Originally, they thought they would have to use various means of framing, sowing discord, and causing accidents in the Land of Dao Extinction to kill this kid.

Unexpectedly, it was sorted out directly on the first day they arrived here.

Moreover, without lifting a finger, it was all Three-Eyed Tiger's own doing.

"Is it that Tiger Demon?"

Among the group of demon cultivators who were chasing, two leading Daoist Venerables flew out with forced smiles.

"It's him!"

"He has so many accomplices?"

"Three Daoist Venerables, no wonder he's so arrogant, daring to kill people from Withered Lotus Sect and Cold Snake Valley."

The eyes of the two Daoist Venerables glowed with a strange light.

"Such courage!"

"Haven't seen someone this brave in a long time, seems we'll have some fun today."

They didn't care at all that the Daoist Venerables on the other side were one more than theirs.

It looked like they planned to swallow them all whole.

For such a formation, Brother Cheng was now indifferent.

So, his focus was still on the Three-Eyed Tiger.

"You said someone would come to welcome me, but this doesn't quite look like it, does it?"

The Three-Eyed Tiger was still grinning cheekily.

"This is their Blood Demon Dao custom, welcoming others in this manner."

Anyway, Jiang Cheng said he was invincible, able to handle anything.

If that were said to others, they wouldn't believe it and would think it was merely bragging.

But having seen him crush everyone across levels early on, Three-Eyed Tiger believed him.

So, regardless of how many enemies there were or how strong, he wasn't particularly worried.

While the two were still having a lazy chat, the demon cultivator Daoist Venerables on the other side were uncertain and suspicious.

These newcomers had too much self-confidence.

Did they have something to rely on?

Demon cultivators aren't just senseless machines of slaughter, each of them is more scheming than anyone else, or they wouldn't have survived the bloody and treacherous daily life until today.

For a moment, they could only encircle them slowly without immediately making a move.

And at that moment, a large batch of demon cultivators appeared behind them.

With a little sensing, there turned out to be more than three thousand people.

And among that crowd, there were no less than four Daoist Venerables!

"Tiger Demon, you have great courage to dare kill my disciples!"

"Yo, Withered Lotus Sect arrived first?"

"The targets are rare, hard to divide!"

"Hehe, my bottom line is one Daoist Venerable, no one should try to snatch!"

"Daring to come to our Blood Demon Dao to cause trouble, they must be out of their mind!"

Before the words were fully spoken, four Daoist Venerables had already blocked their escape route.

This time, Qi Wu Daoist Venerable and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable panicked.

This isn't just a bit more; it's a lot more, isn't it?

Not to mention the thousand to one quantity, just the Daoist Venerables, the opposite side had twice as many!

How are we supposed to play this?

They had originally planned well.

Three-Eyed Tiger caused trouble here, everyone would be surrounded and killed, and Jiang Cheng would smoothly be killed.

Then they could rely on their strong Daoist Venerable-level power to break through the siege, and return comfortably to Celestial Palace to report.

But now, they found they might not be able to escape.

Facing such an overwhelming power disparity, the two were no longer confident about surviving.

Qi Wu Daoist Venerable and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable exchanged a glance and then stepped forward together.

"Everyone, this matter has nothing to do with us!"

"The two of us are here on orders from Celestial Palace to escort the Pill Masters of the Celestial Pill Department to Brahma Painting Mountain for the Alchemy Dao Exchange Conference."

"We accidentally got caught in this Gang Feng, causing the disturbance, please pardon us."

One pointed at Three-Eyed Tiger and the other at Jiang Cheng.

"We have nothing to do with this Tiger Demon or their mastermind!"

"Please let us depart, as for those who don't respect rules, we wish they were executed immediately!"

They sold their teammates so smoothly that even Brother Cheng was a bit speechless.

Are you guys for real?

And Three-Eyed Tiger couldn't help but jump in fury.

"You two old scoundrels, how shameless are you?"

"We're clearly together, now you're pretending not to know us?"

Qi Wu Daoist Venerable sneered coldly.

"You Tiger Demon are quite odd, I as a dignified Celestial Palace Daoist Venerable, would I be allied with you from the Land of Dao Extinction?"

"I was merely inadvertently involved, just happened to meet, do not misinterpret our relationship!"

"Exactly, we have nothing to do with you!"

Their words even angered Fan Lei Daoist Venerable.

Dammit, if you two are selling out teammates, can't you take me along?

Are you betraying me too?

Their dialogue made the six demon cultivator Daoist Venerables on the other side slightly surprised.

Indeed, Three-Eyed Tiger, Jiang Cheng, and Yan Yi didn't seem to be aligned with Qi Wu Daoist Venerable and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable.

Whether in apparent cultivation or external aura, they appeared distinctly separate.

They were aware of the Alchemy Dao Exchange Conference.

After all, most demon cultivators also had a pill demand.

Truth be told, if Emperor Pill Masters like Tian Lin and Taiheng were to come, these fierce figures might even treat them as guests and entertain them warmly.

"You're from the Celestial Palace?"

"Yes!"

"How can you prove you're escorting the Celestial Pill Department?"

Qi Wu Daoist Venerable and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable seemed to be prepared.

The two promptly presented two thin jade pieces.

After taking a careful look, the six on the other side found that it did indeed contain the Celestial Palace's task document.

"They are certainly escorting the Celestial Pill Department."

"What should we do? Really let them go?"

"Finally caught two Daoist Venerables, killing them would definitely offer many insights into the Blood Rule, letting them go would be too wasteful."

"In my opinion, why not deal with them together, after all, the Celestial Palace is our enemy!"

This transmission wasn't audible to Qi Wu and Qian Yan Daoist Venerables.

But seeing the six Daoist Venerables' faintly sinister expressions, they knew it wasn't going well.

The two hurriedly searched for reasons to survive.

"If the two of us die, Celestial Palace will surely know, and the Celestial Pill Department will also learn their guards were killed."

"By then, the Celestial Pill Department might inform their counterparts in the Pill Realm, which consequences I believe none of you would want to face…"

Before the two could finish speaking, a person suddenly floated down from above.

Upon this person's arrival, the other demon cultivators stepped back in unison, faces full of dread.
