"You've come to present me with incense, yet I am sending you on your journey! The road ahead is open and should be easy to walk!"
The Golden Armored Deity and Zixia transformed into a streak of golden light and fled eastward, completely vanishing from sight.
"What a trick!"
The Six Demons were now far too preoccupied with Li Ping'an to care about Zixia, who had been rescued by the Golden Armored Deity.
"Damn it, I haven't even boarded yet!"
Li Ping'an felt a mix of joy and anger, joy that Zixia had been saved, but anger that the Golden Armored Deity hadn't saved him as well.
However, by then it was too late for regrets—the Six Demons, though gravely injured, didn't cry out in pain. Instead, they communicated telepathically and, one after another, raised their palms toward Li Ping'an, shooting out even more black lines that completely ensnared and wrapped around the Five-colored Golden Lotus protecting him.
