Chapter 1242 1153: It’s Mine
Upon seeing someone take the lead, the Eldest Meng couldn't help but be furious. He immediately struck with a palm, hitting that person on the back.
A flash of light appeared on that person's back, revealing a turtle shell that instantly blocked the blow.
Seeing this shell, the Eldest Meng angrily said, "Gui San, how dare you trick me?"
With these words, the power in the Eldest Meng's palm continued to surge out, striking the turtle shell.
The person with the turtle shell turned pale from the impact, fearing that it wouldn't be long before the shell shattered.
Gritting his teeth, the person with the turtle shell immediately took out a piece of paper from his chest and placed it on the map. With a flash of the Power of Demon Patterns, he immediately tried to make an imprint of the map.
Due to being attacked, he could only imprint part of the map, unable to finish the rest.
However, the person with the turtle shell could no longer hold on to imprint the entire map and shouted, "Here, take it back."
With that, he threw the map towards Ji Congjing.
After tossing the map, the person with the turtle shell could no longer support himself and fell to the ground.
At this moment, two more turtle-shell bearers immediately caught him.
Seeing these three, the Eldest Meng recognized them as the Gui Family's three brothers. Their defensive Demon Patterns made them nearly impossible to kill at once.
However, the map was now the priority; there was no time for retaliation.
So Eldest Meng immediately abandoned the Gui Family brothers and turned to chase after the map.
Ji Congjing, inspired by the Gui brothers' method, quickly took the map and pulled out a piece of paper to make an imprint.
But before he had imprinted half of it, Eldest Meng had already rushed over.
Ji Congjing hurriedly flung the map again, tossing it outside the door.
The constant evasion enraged Eldest Meng, who cared for nothing but the map.
He abandoned Ji Congjing and immediately dashed out of the hall.
All the while, the Meng Family Four Brothers, Gui Family Three Brothers, Ji Congjing, and Qin Shousheng all rushed out.
Outside the hall stood a dozen people, among them a young man holding the map.
Seeing this person, the previously arrogant Meng Family Five Brothers dared not move, standing in place.
For among those gathered were all Demon Saints, including the one holding the map, who was a mid-level Demon Saint.
With the arrival of the Demon Saints, there was no chance for Demon Emperors to intervene.
Fortunately, Ji Congjing and the Gui Family brothers had managed to imprint part of the map, prompting them to consider escaping.
But they hadn't left before the dozen Demon Saints commenced action.
The attack of the Demon Saints was overwhelmingly powerful, with magic power flying everywhere, a touch likely meant serious injury or death to any Demon Emperor.
With no escape, Ji Congjing retreated back into the hall, unwilling to take the risk of fleeing.
Inside, the Meng Family Five Tigers and Ji Congjing's group once again fought fiercely over the map fragments.
Both inside and outside the hall erupted into chaos, drawing more people into the map conflict.
Among those fighting for the map, there were more than fifty Demon Saints.
The fighting among the Demon Saints turned the entire hall into ruins, forcing Ji Congjing and others to retreat repeatedly, keeping their distance.
After a lengthy battle, the struggling Demon Saints still gritted their teeth for the sake of the map.
At this moment, a Middle-aged Beauty managed to grab the map, ready to make her escape.
No sooner had she gotten the map than seven or eight Demon Saints surrounded her, delivering three palm strikes that sent the map flying upward.
In that moment, over fifty Demon Saints turned their gaze to the map, rushing into the sky to pursue it.
But suddenly, a gray figure flickered into the air, seizing the map before landing far below.
Seeing the map taken, the fifty Demon Saints, dazed from their battle, now sought to kill whoever had retrieved it.
They didn't bother to see who the gray-robed figure was and immediately chased after.
Once they caught up, a sudden surge of powerful cultivation emanated from this individual, pressing upon the Demon Saints.
The overwhelming force caused the Demon Saints to stagger unsteadily.
They regained some clarity and gazed at the person before them.
To their shock, they muttered, "Governor Luo Yuan!"
The old, white-bearded man standing before them was actually Luo Yuan.
Realizing Luo Yuan held the map, despair swept over them.
In terms of cultivation, Luo Yuan, at Demon Saint Great Perfection, surpassed anyone present.
In terms of resources, being a governor, his soldier terracotta warriors were incomparable to ordinary Demon Saints.
Despite the heavy casualties and desperate fighting for the map, who would dare oppose the governor?
Luo Yuan chuckled, saying, "This map is quite nice. I've decided to keep it. Does anyone want it?"
He flaunted the map in front of everyone.
Over fifty Demon Saints and thirty Demon Emperors watched the map with longing, yet none dared respond.
Luo Yuan laughed heartily, "So no one wants it, huh? With my character, I'd never refuse you. But since you don't want it, I'll just keep it."
His words infuriated the crowd.
Though Luo Yuan's words were amicable, who dared actually ask for it? It would be courting death!
As they begrudged Luo Yuan reclaiming the map, a voice unexpectedly called out from afar, "Since no one wants it, may I have it?"
The crowd was shocked by the audacious voice.
Who would be bold enough to speak up?
The crowd turned to look at the source, breaking into cold laughter upon seeing the person.
For it was a red-robed man speaking.
"Imperial Censor Jia Mo!"
Someone recognized him and exclaimed his name.
Though some didn't recognize him, upon hearing "Imperial Censor," they understood he was merely a Demon Emperor.
To dare speak as a mere Demon Emperor was sheer folly.
Yet some smirked, "Jia Mo is known for his muddle-headedness; looks like it's finally taken his life today."
Everyone defied sympathy as they watched Jia Mo approach Luo Yuan, raising his hand.
