"You f***ing—" Seeing that the other party dared to show such disrespect toward his master, You Tonghan flew into a rage, pointing at them and about to hurl insults.
However, before he could finish his sentence,
Although You Tonghan was furious at this moment—even
Truth be told, You Mingdeng's expression wasn't exactly pleasant either, but he held his tongue. Instead, he cast a meaningful glance at the two young men, swept his wide sleeve through the air, and with a gust of wind, he vanished from the spot along with
After You Mingdeng departed, the second-rank Martial King clenched his fist slightly, and with three muffled booms—bang, bang, bang—the three barriers You Mingdeng had conjured were smashed apart with effortless ease.
"Many thanks for saving us, young heroes. Might I ask your honored names? Our
"Repay? What could your Immortal Execution Archipelago possibly offer us?" Yet what Murong Xun never expected was that his gratitude went entirely unappreciated. The two young men showed no inclination to accept it whatsoever, and the first-rank Martial King even let a mocking smirk curl at the corner of his lips.
Faced with this reaction, Murong Xun's brow furrowed slightly, but he said nothing.
"Take this. It will ease the backlash from that forbidden medicine of yours." Just then, the second-rank Martial King tossed a pill toward the
"Uh…"
Receiving the pill, the Sixth Immortal hesitated. He had noticed something strange about it—rather than emitting even the faintest trace of medicinal fragrance, it gave off a pungent, fishy stench.
It was as though it had been condensed from human blood. Moreover, the entire surface of the pill was covered in minuscule runes, each one so profound that even the Sixth Immortal, a golden-robed Spirit World Master, could barely comprehend them.

What if, once he swallowed this pill, he fell under their control and brought harm upon the Immortal Execution Archipelago?
But at that very moment, the second-rank Martial King suddenly turned his gaze toward him.
The instant that gaze landed, the Sixth Immortal's heart began to race. An indescribable terror surged through him, and without a second word, he swallowed the pill.
"Go back to the Immortal Execution Archipelago. My two senior brothers are still waiting for you there." After the Sixth Immortal had taken the pill, the second-rank Martial King nodded, then proceeded at an unhurried pace toward the Ancient Teleportation Formation. But suddenly he stopped, turned his head slightly, and said flatly: "Remember—don't ask our names in the future. If you like, you may call us Master."
With that, he smiled faintly and continued walking onward.
Murong Xun and the Sixth Immortal exchanged a look, their faces grim. Even the two protectors of the Blazing Divine Bird Clan wore expressions of stunned disbelief. In the end, however, they followed in the direction the two young men had gone.
