Liming took the treasure and looked at it carefully. He looked at Qi Kong with satisfaction and said, “Are you willing to give me such a good treasure?”

Qi Kong nodded his head solemnly and said, “Qi Kong’s life belongs to you, Palace Master. The rest of the things outside should be given to you, Palace Master!”

Liming laughed out loud in satisfaction. He nodded and said, “Elder Qi, you are the pillar of Burning Flame Palace. Since you are the most familiar with this treasure, I cannot rob others of their love. You should keep it. It will be up to you next.”

Li Tu then said, “Palace Master, think twice. Whether or not this thing can hide from the people of the Li Tian Sect is still unknown. If you act rashly, I’m afraid it would be inappropriate!”

Liming glanced at him and almost scolded him on the spot. What did this fellow mean? Did he mean that he didn’t have any brains to do anything? He actually dared to question what he had decided, and he really didn’t put himself in his eyes anymore.

“Hmph! Li Tu, don’t talk anymore, no one thinks you’re mute!” He said impolitely, not giving Li Tu any face.

Qi Kong secretly laughed as he took the treasure back. He knew very well that Liming would definitely not take his treasure. Who was Liming? He was the Palace Master of Burning Flame Palace, and he had countless powerful magic treasures in his hands. The reason why he deliberately offered the treasure to Liming was just to show his loyalty!

Seeing Li Tu being berated by Liming in front of everyone, his heart was beautiful. This Li Tu was simply ignorant and had lost his rationality. He couldn’t even see through such a simple reason that he couldn’t go against Liming. He really didn’t have much eyesight. Fortunately, Li Tu had followed Liming for decades, but he still hadn’t fully grasped Liming’s temper. He had lived for so many years in vain.

Qi Kong studied people thoroughly, and he knew Liming’s temper and personality well.

Actually, he had wrongly blamed Li Tu. In the past, Li Tu was a meticulous person. Of course, he could clearly understand Liming’s temper. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been trusted by Liming for so long until Qi Kong appeared before losing Liming’s trust.

The reason Li Tu had turned into his current appearance was because he was forced into a mess by Qi Kong. He only wanted to do everything he could to make Qi Kong lose his favor in front of Liming, but he didn’t know that doing so would make Liming very unhappy.

There was nothing more to do with Li Tu. Liming didn’t allow him to speak any more. He didn’t have the courage to disobey, so he could only stare at Qi Kong from the side, wishing he could eat him alive.

Liming looked at Qi Kong and said, “Do as you say. Let’s block the exit!”

Qi Kong nodded fiercely, then looked at Li Tu and said to Liming, “Palace Master, this subordinate’s plan is absolutely flawless. However, this subordinate is too weak. Controlling this treasure can only hide the figures of four people at most, but the rest can’t be contained!”

Li Tu’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that the situation was not good, and Qi Kong’s revenge was coming one after another.

Liming glanced at Li Tu and the other two and said to Qi Kong, “Then who do you think they need?”

Qi Kong pointed at the other two people and said, “The two of them, Elder Zhu’s concealment armor can cooperate with this treasure to make the concealment effect better. Elder Xu’s Turtle Breath Technique can also make the treasure play a greater role!”

Liming didn’t think too much about it and nodded. “Then it’s decided!”

Li Tu gave up and hurriedly said, “Palace Master, what should I do?”

Liming glanced at him. This fellow was truly annoying. Qi Kong had already said that this treasure could only conceal four people. You can’t do anything to help. Of course, you’re going to cool off on the side. Could it be that you want Liming to go and cool off on the side?

Qi Kong said apologetically to Li Tu, “Elder Li, you really can’t help. After we conceal ourselves, I hope that you won’t leak the news. Otherwise, the plan won’t succeed.”

Li Tu glared at him and said, “Qi Kong, are you deliberately targeting me? You are taking revenge on me!”

Qi Kong helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said, “Elder Li, you’ve misunderstood someone. This is a matter of life and death for Burning Flame Palace. How can you call me a public revenge?”

Li Tu wanted to say something else, but was stopped mercilessly by Liming. “Li Tu, shut up. It’s not your turn to speak now. It’s settled. Leave the Nine Nether Prison first and return to Burning Flame Palace first!”

Qi Kong remained silent and watched coldly as Li Tu made his choice.

Li Tu was doing a fierce ideological struggle. If he went back like this, his status in Liming’s heart would be even lower in the future. He couldn’t even lift his head up in front of others. If he didn’t go back, he wouldn’t be able to help much. He would also cause Liming’s dissatisfaction, and he would be able to muddle along even more in the future.

From the looks of it, it seemed that returning was the only way, but he was unwilling. This limelight had been taken over by Qi Kong. He was unconvinced. What was Qi Kong? He actually dared to compete with him for the limelight. Could it be that he was going to be defeated just like that?

He looked at Liming, then looked at Qi Kong, and his heart became ruthless. He thought to himself, “Don’t blame me for being unjust if you’re inhumane!” Since that was the case, there was nothing left to say. Liming only treated Qi Kong as his trusted confidant and treated his efforts over the years as air. He wasn’t even as good as his fart, was he? Alright then, I will go to Li Tian Sect to report you. When the time comes, I will see how you guys are going to act.

Thinking of this, he was unable to conceal his hatred perfectly, but Qi Kong successfully captured him. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Qi Kong suddenly stopped him and said, “Elder Li, do you have any hatred in your heart for going to Li Tian Sect to report us?”

Li Tu was shocked, and his face revealed an obvious look of anger when he saw through the plan. Who was Liming? He was very good at scheming, so Li Tu’s reaction was naturally seen by him. Killing intent surged in an instant, and he waved his hand and surrounded Li Tu with the others.

“Palace Master, don’t misunderstand. This subordinate definitely doesn’t think so. Qi Kong is spouting blood!”

Li Tu hurriedly argued. He was both shocked and angry in his heart. How could Qi Kong be so powerful? He knew what he was thinking. It was too terrifying!

Qi Kong sneered, “If you really don’t have such thoughts, why are you so scared?”

Li Tu said angrily, “Nonsense, what am I afraid of?”

Liming said impatiently, “Alright, Li Tu, you don’t need to say anything. No matter what you think, in order for the plan to be implemented smoothly and for Burning Flame Palace to survive, I can’t let you go now. If you want to blame me, blame Qin Fei. He forced me to be careful. You can go on your way safely!”

With that, he personally took action and slapped Li Tu with his palm. A mountain peak appeared on his palm and crushed down aggressively.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Li Tu also jumped out. In front of him, a giant python formed from spiritual energy that was several hundred feet long fiercely smashed into the mountain peak that fell from Liming’s palm.

Bang!

How could he be Liming’s opponent? The python was instantly crushed to pieces by the mountain peak, followed by Li Tu’s body being smashed by the mountain peak, instantly losing his life.

Once Li Tu died, Qi Kong was extremely happy in his heart. This Li Tu had always been against him. Today, he was lucky enough to actually dare to talk back to Liming. This made Liming angry. He was ignited by another gust of wind from Qi Kong and was directly extinguished.

Once Li Tu died, there was no one who could replace him at Liming’s side.

Li Tu’s death was worthless in Liming’s eyes, but Qi Kong still had to act as if he had used Liming to kill Li Tu!

He pretended to look at Li Tu’s corpse and sighed in sorrow, “Elder Li is really obsessed. He actually dares to think of doing something detrimental to Burning Flame Palace. It is truly hateful and regrettable!”

“Elder Qi, you don’t have to feel sorry for him. No matter what kind of contribution he made in the past, it’s not enough to compensate for his sect’s crimes. Let’s leave this matter as it is. Let’s hurry up and stop Qin Fei and the others from leaving the Nine Nether Prison and trap them to death here!” Liming was very satisfied with his actions of attaching importance to his fellow disciples.

The group then headed towards the exit.

A hundred miles away from Li Tu’s corpse, Qin Fei and the others appeared on a single peak. They were extremely exhausted from the void and emptiness. All the demonic energy in their bodies was exhausted, and they hurriedly entered Qin Fei’s Profound Spirit Cauldron to cultivate and recover. Zhang Yuan was also thrown in.

Su Qingying looked at Qin Fei gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.
