Hearing this loud laughter, Zhou Yu was also intrigued.

His gaze shifted to the golden orb.

Could this be the Holy Object of the Five Clans?

The legendary Holy Blood?

Just as Zhou Yu was pondering, suddenly, a shout came from afar by Huang Tian Zhenren:

"Brother Cang, watch out!"

Cang Wuqi was no novice; as a level-five Demon Beast who had survived the demonic tribulation, both his strength and alertness were formidable.

Upon hearing Huang Tian Zhenren’s warning, Cang Wuqi almost immediately sensed a dark attack coming.

Cang Wuqi’s expression changed as he roared in anger.

Simultaneously, he quickly deployed his Innate Divine Ability, the Illusion Technique.

In the next moment, his figure transformed into multiple illusions, scattering everywhere.

However, a blaze appeared instantly amidst all the illusions and swiftly targeted one of them, rushing forward.

Cang Wuqi cried out in shock and anger.

"How did you find my true body?"

"No, Xu Zhao, it’s you!"

"Damn it!"

In this moment of crisis, Cang Wuqi finally identified his attacker—it was indeed Xu Zhao.

Enraged and fearful, he quickly retreated.

Xu Zhao sneered coldly.

"Dream on if you think you can take my clan’s Holy Object!"

"Leave your life behind!"

Xu Zhao waved his hand, and suddenly, hundreds of Flame Flowers appeared around him.

These Flame Flowers were incredibly intricate, with Flame Power flowing over their surfaces and terrifying energy contained within. As soon as they appeared, they completely enveloped Cang Wuqi.

Cang Wuqi’s expression changed again; he realized that if these Flame Flowers exploded, the rampant energy would definitely cause him grave injuries.

At this critical moment, Cang Wuqi had no time to concern himself with the Holy Object.

He directly threw the golden orb far away.

This move is called "abandoning the car to protect the general."

If Xu Zhao doesn’t retract the cage formed by the Flame Flowers, the Holy Object of the Five Clans would surely be destroyed.

And if he does retract it, Cang Wuqi will have the chance to escape.

Indeed, as Cang Wuqi threw the golden orb away, Xu Zhao snorted coldly, withdrew the terrifying Flame Flowers, and his figure flickered as he rushed toward the Holy Object. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

In the next moment, Xu Zhao had the golden orb in his hand.

And Cang Wuqi also managed to escape.

After escaping, Cang Wuqi didn’t just flee; he approached Huang Tian Zhenren, where the two reformed their alliance.

Seeing the Holy Object fall into Xu Zhao’s hands, Huang Tian Zhenren’s eyes instantly filled with icy killing intent.

"Xu Zhao, hand it over!"

"Otherwise, the two of us will definitely kill you today!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhao sneered:

"You think you can kill me with just the two of you?"

"How naive!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Tian Zhenren didn’t say a word. Raising his hand, a dozen Spiritual Lights appeared before him.

Upon closer inspection, these Spiritual Lights were short swords controlled by his Nascent Soul, just like before.

Clearly, Huang Tian Zhenren was determined to get the Holy Object; hence he was going all out from the start.

As Huang Tian Zhenren activated a spell, those short swords shot toward Xu Zhao.

Simultaneously, Huang Tian Zhenren himself, enhanced by the Bagua Plate, darted forward like a black shadow.

At the same time, Cang Wuqi also moved.

He again deployed the Illusion Technique and released the Scorpion Tail Hook, relentlessly attacking Xu Zhao.

Under their fierce siege, Xu Zhao began to retreat.

And at this moment, a faint Divine Thought Communication whispered in Xu Zhao’s ear.

"Lord Xu Zhao, it’s me!"

Upon hearing this transmission, a strange gleam passed through Xu Zhao’s eyes.

"Ye Ling, is it really you?"

"I thought I sensed wrong just now!"

Known as Ye Ling, Zhou Yu had a hint of coldness in his heart, but his voice remained respectful.

"Lord Xu Zhao, give me the Holy Object. I’ll take it out first, then you find a way to escape, and we’ll meet outside!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhao didn’t hesitate at all.

"Alright!"

After saying this, he suddenly invoked a Flame Power, forcing Cang Wuqi and Huang Tian Zhenren back. In the next moment, he threw the golden orb directly toward a spot behind him.

Seeing this, Cang Wuqi and Huang Tian Zhenren were stunned.

They didn’t understand what Xu Zhao was doing.

However, Xu Zhao gave them no time to think and directly unleashed Flame Power, charging forward.

Cang Wuqi and Huang Tian Zhenren, too, didn’t waste any time in launching a counterattack.

No one noticed that the golden orb, after being thrown, quickly vanished without a trace.

Zhou Yu now held the golden orb in his hand, his heart brimming with ecstasy.

When Xu Zhao discovered him earlier, Zhou Yu had considered fleeing, but suddenly remembered that in Xu Zhao and the others’ perception, he was under Ye Ling’s control.

Thus, a bold plan emerged in his mind.

To use Ye Ling’s identity to deceive Xu Zhao’s trust.

He didn’t expect his plan to go so smoothly, thus easily obtaining this Holy Object.

Now, Zhou Yu immediately placed the Holy Object into his Storage Ring and propelled himself toward the outside.

With the treasure in hand, he only needed to escape the Tomb of Death to be the biggest winner.

However, just as Zhou Yu escaped less than a kilometer, a Bagua Plate suddenly appeared before him, blocking his path!

Seeing this Bagua Plate, Zhou Yu’s expression changed.

He was all too familiar with this object.

Earlier, Huang Tian Zhenren used this object to severely injure the Demon Eye Spirit Clan.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded.

"Hand it over if you do not want to die!"

It was Huang Tian Zhenren’s voice.

Zhou Yu didn’t understand how Huang Tian Zhenren, whilst entangled with Xu Zhao, suddenly appeared here.

But he didn’t have time to think.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yu quickly retreated towards Xu Zhao.

In an instant, Zhou Yu was back beside Xu Zhao.

Meanwhile, he glanced at the person who had attacked him.

It was indeed Huang Tian Zhenren!

Huang Tian Zhenren coldly stared at Zhou Yu and Xu Zhao.

"Leave the object behind."

"Otherwise, regardless of the cost today, I will ensure you’re left here."

Hearing this, Xu Zhao sneered.

"Arrogant!"

"I’d like to see how you plan to keep me here!"

Immediately, Xu Zhao summoned dozens of Flame Flowers, surging them toward Huang Tian Zhenren.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu once again shot off into the distance.

Huang Tian Zhenren being tangled up was the perfect opportunity for his escape.

"Brother Cang, stop him!"

As soon as Huang Tian Zhenren’s words fell, Zhou Yu was confronted by a virtual image of a Phantom Scorpion.

The virtual scorpion lashed out at Zhou Yu with a sweeping strike from its Scorpion Tail Hook.

At this point, Zhou Yu glanced at the distance, the exit of the Tomb of Death was right before him.

A sharp gleam flickered in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

Risk it!

In the next instant, he waved his hand, and thousands of Fire-eyed Flying Ants flew out in a flash...
