Li Qing quickly put the fragment of the Xia Emperor Cauldron into his spatial ring and returned to Dongfang Bingyun’s side. He whispered, “This place is not suitable for you to stay for long. Leave immediately.”

Dongfang Bingyun understood and quietly left the ancient courtyard with Li Qing in three or two steps.

The Immortal Fate Gathering had already ended. He did not dare to stay there any longer. Otherwise, it might cause public indignation. Those stupid youths might rush up to fight in groups under their anger.

Although Li Qing wasn’t afraid of this mob, he didn’t want to make the matter big and cause trouble for himself.

Seeing Li Qing hurriedly leave, many people naturally noticed him. They couldn’t help but laugh coldly in their hearts, thinking that he was feeling guilty and afraid.

“In the ancient courtyard, it’s not convenient to make a move. Let them leave first. Where can he hide even if he hides?”

Bibo Shuangxiong and the others looked at Li Qing from afar. A terrifying light flashed in their eyes. They could have stopped Li Qing from leaving now, but they didn’t make a move. Instead, they wanted to wait until after they left.

Walking out of the ancient courtyard, Dongfang Bingyun asked, “What is inside the porcelain bottle you brought Senior Yuan? It actually made him lose his composure.”

Li Qing said, “This is a secret, I’m afraid I can’t tell you. It can only be said that it contains the juice of an ancient species!”

“Hmph, it’s fine if you don’t tell me.” Dongfang Bingyun snorted, somewhat unhappy. The man in front of her concealed too many secrets. They were unfathomable. No matter how she looked at them, she could not see through them.

Li Qing smiled bitterly. He really couldn’t tell her about this. After all, the things he took out were too shocking.

This thing was the sap of the World Tree!

How could he reveal such a shocking secret? After all, this was truly inconceivable. Even if she said it herself, she might not believe it.

A creature like the World Tree was simply like a legendary existence. It was too illusory, and most people in the world did not believe that it had ever existed.

It was just a legend, but it had never been confirmed!

Even with Daoist Yuan’s eyes, he could tell that the juice contained the power of a grand world, but he didn’t dare to easily determine its origin. At most, he guessed that it had a great relationship with the World Tree.

In terms of preciousness, the World Tree Sap was not necessarily inferior to the fragment of the Xia Emperor Cauldron. After all, that fragment was simply too small, while the World Tree Sap was unique in the world and could not be found.

Li Qing took out a total of ten drops of World Tree Sap, causing the old man to lose his composure. He immediately agreed to exchange the items. It could be seen how precious this item was.

“Someone is following us from behind … I’m afraid it will be detrimental to us, wanting to seize our treasures.” Dongfang Bingyun whispered.

“What are you afraid of? Don’t you have faith in me?” Li Qing smiled. This kind of situation was already within his expectations. If no one followed him, it would make him feel strange.

“In terms of fighting alone, I am very confident in you. However, there are too many of them. Perhaps you can deal with one or two of them. I’m afraid that with so many people, you will be unable to catch them.” Dongfang Bingyun’s face was a little worried.

“Don’t worry, they are just a bunch of mobs. If they see my strength, they will definitely retreat.” Li Qing did not take it to heart.

Just as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and a few people blocked his path.

The ones who appeared in front of Li Qing were Bi Bo Duo Xiong and a few unfamiliar Xiantian experts. They sneered repeatedly and approached.

“Brat, you just showed off at the Immortal Destiny Gathering. Aren’t you very proud of yourself?” Jiang Haisong’s expression was cold.

“Why can’t I be complacent when I’m in the limelight with my ability?” Li Qing chuckled.

“That’s outrageous! You sharp-mouthed man!” The two heroes were furious. Didn’t Li Qing mean that the two of them didn’t have the ability to even show off?

“Great barkers are no biters!” Li Qing was not polite at all.

“Very good! I want to see if you can hold your tongue later!” Jiang Haibai’s gaze was cold. He had already made up his mind that he must torture Li Qing properly and make him kneel down and beg for mercy!

Behind him, a few silhouettes quietly followed. It was Pei Yunli, Ji Bai, Xia Gu, and the others who had faintly formed an encirclement.

Naturally, they would not let go of such an opportunity. Li Qing had too many treasures on him, and even those who had no hatred or resentment would drool when they saw him.

Under the gazes of so many tigers, Li Qing who was standing in the middle was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, emitting a delicious fragrance.

“This kid can’t fly anymore!” Someone was watching the show. They were all people who had participated in the Immortal Fate Gathering before, and they had just walked out when they saw this scene.

“He actually dared to provoke some of the most elite figures in the East China Sea. This brat is not afraid of dying.” Someone scoffed and gloated.

Pei Yunli, Ji Bai, Xia Gu, Bi Bo Shuangxiong, and the others were all famous existences in the East China Sea. Even if it was in the Eastern Region, it would still be a terrifying figure at the top of the Earth Rankings.

No one thought that Li Qing could escape smoothly. Not to mention his Xiantian eighth layer cultivation, even Xiantian tenth layer cultivation wouldn’t do!

Only the strongest experts on the Earth Rankings, or those with exceptional movement skills, would be able to escape safely under the siege of so many people. But no matter what, that guy doesn’t look like a very powerful person.

“Sister, Young Master Han is surrounded by them. I’m afraid his life will be in danger. Should we go save him?” Yun Qingsha, one of the Eight Beauties of Indigo, said worriedly.

After all, Li Qing had just helped the Indigo Aquatic Manor exchange for the conch, so he had some friendship with them. Naturally, he could not watch him suffer helplessly.

“Sister Yun, you are too kind. We paid a huge price for asking that Han to help us. No one owes us anything.” Liu Yuemei smiled.

“Don’t worry, Young Master Han’s background is extraordinary. It’s not as simple as it looks on the surface.” Fairy Blue Smoke’s voice was as ethereal and distant as the ocean. “Look at his calm expression. Without the slightest bit of panic, you can tell that he is confident in his heart.”

“That fellow is actually so formidable? Could it be that elder sister has misjudged him?” Liu Yuemei was a little surprised.

“Just watch.” Fairy Blue Smoke said indifferently.

“Then I’ll have to wait and see.” Liu Yuemei was very curious.

…

More and more people gathered and watched the show with relish. Their gazes towards Li Qing were somewhat sympathetic.

Being surrounded by so many terrifying experts, that brat’s ending was already doomed. No one could save him.

“Brat, if you kneel down and beg for mercy and hand over all the treasures you have, I might spare your dog’s life.” Bibo Duo Xiong was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly threatened.

“Your tone is quite loud, but it’s a pity that you don’t have the strength to match it! Are you trying to scare me?” Li Qing’s tone was indifferent and did not reveal any nervousness.

“Ignorant thing!” Jiang Haisong’s expression darkened. “Today, I’ll let you know just how big the difference in strength is!”

“Wait!” A Xiantian ninth layer expert stepped forward and said, “There is no need for Brother Jiang to personally take action against such a little brat. Let me do it!”

“That’s right. If I personally take action, I will inevitably be overqualified.” Bibo Shuangxiong nodded, “I’ll let you take action and capture him alive!”

The ninth level of the Xiantian realm was indeed enough to deal with a Xiantian eighth level cultivator.

“Little brat, I only blame you for having too many treasures, yet your strength is so weak.” This Xiantian 9-dan approached with a gloomy expression, “But you don’t know how to keep a low profile. Come out and flaunt yourself. You’re simply courting your own destruction. You can’t blame anyone else.”

“Poor, poor!” Li Qing shook his head and laughed out loud. He gently raised his palm and began to gather strength to push forward horizontally.

“Huh? You want to make a move?” That Xiantian Nine laughed heavily, “Alright then, I’ll give you a chance to make your move first. Don’t be captured by me without even using a single move at that time.”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Qing gently pushed forward with his palm. The floating palm did not seem to have much power, but it changed Feng Yun’s expression after it was struck out.

Boom!

A palm that covered the sky and covered the sun appeared, containing the power to split the heavens and split the earth, suppressing eternity and pushing everything in the world horizontally.

Extreme Emperor Splitting Heaven Palm!

A terrifying power was emitted, suppressing the world, suppressing eternity, causing the hearts of everyone present to skip a beat, and the expressions on their faces to freeze.

This was the first time Li Qing had used this palm technique against an enemy since he had learned it! Of course, in order to avoid being discovered, he did not use his full strength. He only used a small portion of his strength to conceal his aura.

Even if it was only a small portion of his strength, it was still more than enough to deal with a Xiantian ninth layer.

Under everyone’s horrified gazes, that palm pushed over horizontally, sealing the heavens and earth, directly suppressing that Xiantian ninth layer, and then pushing out horizontally!

In the blink of an eye, that person was pushed ten miles away and disappeared. He didn’t know where he had been beaten.

In the void ahead, the palm power of the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heaven Palm was still somewhat remnant, forming a vacuum. The air was squeezed out, and it did not recover for a while.

“It can’t be!” Everyone cried out.

“He defeated the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm with just a single palm strike!” They gasped in disbelief.

“What a powerful palm technique!” Pei Yunli’s expression was solemn. With a single palm strike, he pushed a Xiantian ninth level cultivator to an unknown corner. This kind of power was too terrifying!

It wasn’t just a simple defeat, but it was something that could only happen ten kilometers away. It was something that only happened when there was a huge difference in strength. It was just like how Daoist Yuan had easily thrown a Xiantian Tenth Layer out of the Sea God Island. This was a crushing blow to his strength.

This was practically impossible in battles of the same level.

“I underestimate you!” Bibo Duo Xiong’s eyes narrowed. Although their personalities weren’t that good, their strength was still very strong. With their sharp eyes, they could naturally see the power of this palm strike.

“With just this palm strike, he can contend against an ordinary Xiantian Tenth Layer cultivator, right?” Everyone regained their senses and began to discuss. Their gazes towards Li Qing changed and they finally began to face this unremarkable looking fellow head on.
