This Golden Crow, it wants to kill me!
Upon seeing Di Jun's icy gaze, this thought flashed through East King's mind.
He immediately revealed his form and loudly shouted: "Fellow Daoist, it's a misunderstanding!"
Di Jun looked at the man in front of him, dressed in a lavish robe, who was now looking back at him earnestly. If this man had not spoken in a defensive tone, Di Jun would have been more inclined to believe him.
A Golden Immortal?
Di Jun pondered in his heart.
He didn't dwell much on this man, because the Fusang Tree was already very fragile from being baked by the Taiyang Fire.
If he waited a bit longer, that naive consciousness would really disappear, and perhaps the Fusang Tree would be damaged as well.
Without the slightest hesitation, Di Jun withdrew the Taiyang Fire from the Fusang Tree under his mental command.
Throughout the process, Di Jun kept an eye on East King, who made no moves.
The Taiyang Fire didn't enter Di Jun's body but instead surrounded East King's position.
Upon seeing this, East King's heart was filled with bitterness, as he had no intention of fighting after witnessing Di Jun's strength.
However, since the Taiyang Fire was only circling around him and hadn't leaped onto him, he felt there was still room for negotiation.
Meanwhile, Di Jun watched East King without speaking, also contemplating how to deal with the middle-aged man before him.
After all, this was a Golden Immortal, and the extent of his power was unknown; Di Jun couldn't guarantee he could completely overpower him.
"Fellow Daoist, I was originally cultivating in my Daoist School when I suddenly felt the presence of a fortunate opportunity, which led me here to investigate," East King explained.
"Now it appears that you are more suitable for this opportunity than I am."
"Now that you have received this opportunity, I have no desire to contest it. May I ask for your permission to leave?"
East King laid out the entire reason for his presence.
He had considered fabricating a tale of accidentally entering Tang Valley and then asking the Golden Crow before him to let him leave.
But he eventually decided against it and told the truth.
Di Jun somewhat believed the words of the middle-aged man before him.
After all, wasn't he also guided here by this opportunity and found the Fusang Tree?
Before Di Jun could respond, the entirety of Tang Valley suddenly began to shake.
Both Di Jun and East King wore puzzled expressions, but after receiving information from the naive consciousness of the Fusang Tree, the puzzled look on Di Jun's face disappeared.
He said to East King: "Follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surging Taiyang Fire around East King quickly returned to Di Jun's side and entered his body.
Seeing this, East King knew that at this moment, the Golden Crow before him had no desire to take action against him.
Tang Valley continued to shake, and East King swiftly followed Di Jun to leave the valley.
Di Jun floated above the sea, continuously watching Tang Valley, while his mind communicated with the naive consciousness of the Fusang Tree.
East King also floated above the sea, next to Di Jun.
Though he wished to leave, he didn't act rashly.
Di Jun paid no attention to East King beside him, staring intently at Tang Valley, which was still trembling.
Suddenly, the entire island of Tang Valley trembled even more violently, breaking away from the ocean and floating above the sea's surface.
In the heart of Tang Valley, the phantom of the Fusang Tree appeared, with the whole valley acting like a natural array protecting the Fusang Tree, revealing innate patterns of Heaven and Earth.
Di Jun quickly memorized these patterns and continued to deduce them in his mind, his Earth River Map and Luo Book within his body also slowly rotating.
The form of the Fusang Tree did not persist for long before the entire Tang Valley and the Fusang Tree began to shrink.
Until an entire island shrank to the size of Di Jun's palm, and then rushed towards Di Jun, entering his body.
Not good!
This was what crossed Di Jun's mind at that moment.
Because the disturbance caused by the Fusang Tree was not minor, at this moment the priority was to leave this place.
Di Jun did not hesitate at all, he glanced at East King, and without the time to speak, immediately employed the Rainbow Transformation Skill, intending to leave.
Because Di Jun had already sensed two auras rapidly approaching, and though they were only two Golden Immortals, he did not wish to entangle with them any more than necessary, especially since there was also a Golden Immortal here.
East King watched Di Jun's action and didn't react for a moment.
However, he then thought: If this Golden Crow leaves, can I also make my getaway?
Before he could make a move, a voice reached East King's ears.
"Little Six, Big Brother was indeed right; such a commotion must mean the birth of Primordial Spirits."
"There's one here, and there's the aura of another Primordial Spirit that's escaping, but it won't get away."
Primordial Spirits?
Me and that Golden Crow?
While this thought flashed through East King's mind, he also followed in the direction where Di Jun had fled.
If not for Di Jun's escape, East King might have fought with the two Golden Immortals.
Now even the Golden Crow, whom he himself couldn't match, had left, so there was even less necessity for him to force the issue.
It was just that his speed was clearly slower than Di Jun's, and he had lost sight of him.
East King's escape didn't make the two pursuing beings feel any urgency.
On the contrary, they even had the leisure to chat.
"Brother Five, I really envy these Innate beings born from Heaven and Earth, with strong Origins and extremely fast cultivation, unlike us postnatal beings."
The being referred to as Little Six spoke.
"No need to envy, once we catch these two Primordial Spirits, our six brothers will be able to replace some of their Origins."
"Then we'll find an opportunity to leave this place and head to the Western Primordial."
"Under the leadership of the Demon Lord Luo Hou, that is the paradise for us magic cultivators, without the need to constantly conceal ourselves, which is not satisfying at all."
Another being spoke.
Di Jun was incredibly fast, but on this path, he encountered another two beings, both Golden Immortals as well.
Without a second thought, Di Jun changed directions, attempting to leave from another place.
Di Jun's turn allowed East King to catch a glimpse of Di Jun's figure, and although he didn't understand why the Golden Crow was changing direction, he still followed.
But it wasn't long before he could do nothing but watch Di Jun vanish from his sight once again; his speed was simply too slow.
In a short while, East King saw Di Jun again; this time, the Golden Crow had switched directions once more.
East King hesitated for a moment, then continued following, only to lose sight of him again.
Seeing this, East King resolved inwardly that after returning, he must develop a Divine Skill for flight.
Not much later, Di Jun flew in the direction of East King.
Di Jun tried to leave in various directions, but alas, at each turn, there were beings at the Golden Immortal Realm blocking the way.
He didn't want to entangle with them, because once entangled, beings from other directions would certainly come to support, and that's why Di Jun kept changing directions.
But now, their encirclement was so tight that Di Jun had no way to escape, which was why he had to come back in search of East King.
