Chapter 1080: The Struggle for Wealth and Survival

It had been instrumental in enabling her to defeat so many Body Integration stage enemies.

That alone was enough compensation for any favors owed.

Suddenly, the three Pixiu dropped to one knee. "To our two benefactors, we have one more humble request."

"Since it’s an unpleasant request, you don’t need to say it," Kenny Lin said, but he was met with a glare from Amalia.

"Are you asking us to help take care of Wealth?" she asked.

The three Pixiu were shocked, as his words had hit the mark immediately.

"How did you know?" one of them asked.

"Was there any need to guess?" Kenny Lin said with a glance. "Such a simple thing, only a fool wouldn’t figure it out."

Now that the Nine Heaven Pixiu’s Forbidden Grounds had appeared, countless treasures had also surfaced.

It was common knowledge by now.

With the treasures now out in the open space, they would have a hard time keeping Wealth and these treasures safe.

If they had reached the Mahayana stage, they might have been able to protect it and the treasures, but they hadn’t.

Leaving these treasures in their hands was a crime in itself.

They couldn’t bring any benefits but would only draw endless danger and trouble.

From the beginning, Gor’kan had said that giving the treasures to them wasn’t a problem, but he had always considered this point.

"Our cultivation is too low to protect the Young Master or these treasures," Gor’kan continued. "Few people know the Young Master’s existence, and the ones at the Mahayana Stage outside shouldn’t be aware of it yet. You two are from the Green Lotus Sect, so even if they want to act against you, they’ll have to think twice. The Young Master should be safe with you."

"And you?" Amalia asked, pausing to think. "Actually, there’s another option. You could try entering my small world."

Gor’kan shook his head. "No, if we disappear, those people won’t spare you. We three have already made up our minds. We’ll lead those powerful cultivators away. They’ll think the treasures are with us, and they won’t dare to cause trouble for you."

"You might die," Kenny Lin said flatly.

"We know," Gor’kan responded. "But we have no other choice. We’ve already dragged you into this, and we can’t drag you further."

The three Pixiu had made up their minds.

Amalia took out a Breath Concealing Pearl and handed it to them. "Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t try to stop you. Here’s a Breath Concealing Pearl for you. For Wealth’s sake, I hope you survive."

Kenny Lin also took out his own Breath Concealing Pearl and tossed it to them.

"This is unnecessary," Gor’kan quickly refused. "This was supposed to be our gift to you. We can’t take it back."

"We’re not doing this for you, but for Wealth," Amalia explained indifferently.

"The Breath Concealing Pearl might not be as effective as before. When I went out to find you earlier, I don’t know how, but I was spotted by a few human cultivators who insisted I was a demonic beast. They chased me relentlessly. Afraid of causing too much of a commotion, I used the Aurora’s Eclipse Bow to quickly deal with them. But not long after leaving the Devil Battlefield, those three cultivators caught up to me. They claimed I stole their treasure, and I couldn’t use the Aurora’s Eclipse Bow in Mystic Void Continent, so I couldn’t shake them off. That’s why I had to come directly to Green Lotus Sect to find you," Zhar’khaen explained.

Amalia thought for a moment. "It might not be the Breath Concealing Pearl’s fault. You might have been targeted long ago. The situation is likely more complicated than we thought."

"Then we should definitely split up," Gor’kan said. "We don’t know who is scheming against us. The only way is to separate and go our own ways." They no longer refused the Breath Concealing Pearls; for Wealth’s sake, they needed to stay safe.

"You should use the Sky Viewing Mirror to send us out now," Gor’kan added.

"Are you sure? There might be other ways. Didn’t you say the Forbidden Grounds is a treasure? We could try traveling through the spatial rifts and land somewhere safe," Amalia suggested.

Wealth had just reunited with his kin, and Amalia selfishly hoped they wouldn’t separate so quickly.

"Just how dangerous the spatial rift is, you’ve all seen for yourselves..."

With a loud rumble, before Gor’kan could finish speaking, the Forbidden Grounds suddenly shook violently.

The five of them rushed outside and saw that the long, dark spatial rift had once again undergone a change.

A powerful force seemed to be tearing at the rift again, and a giant hand reached in, swinging wildly inside the Forbidden Grounds.

Half of the already collapsed palace couldn’t withstand the force of the giant hand’s strike, and it completely collapsed into dust.

The giant hand seemed to be searching for something.

It didn’t stop there—none of the buildings on the ground were spared.

After failing to find what it wanted, the giant hand moved toward them.

The five of them immediately retreated back into the Forbidden Grounds, where a mysterious power seemed to protect them.

As soon as the giant hand touched the Forbidden Grounds, it was bounced back.

The hand, seemingly angered, struck down again with fury.

The vicious momentum seemed as though it could crush the Nine Heaven Pixiu’s Forbidden Grounds.

At the critical moment, a sword struck from the West, its energy shooting through the sky, presenting a scene that shook the earth.

A figure appeared in the distance.

A vast sword aura descended from the heavens, shattering nearby space and enveloping the Mahayana stage cultivators and Emperor level Devils in its sword energy.

"Lian Qinglan!"

The four of them roared angrily as the sword energy mercilessly tore through the air.

They were fortunate— the cultivator trying to enter the spatial rift was the primary target of the sword energy, and nearly half of the sword energy engulfed him.
