Chapter 1719 Besiege

"Oh! It's you. You're that Earth Hermit guy we saw last time!"

Numerous top cultivators were present and they recognized Earth Hermit the second he made his appearance. He wasn't exactly the sort of person one would forget easily.

"Yeah, it's me,"

the old man responded in a calm tone, the one as simple as the declaration he was making.

"Who is this brat to you, Earth Hermit? Why are you interfering in this matter directly?" the reclusive elder of the Ji Clan asked with his gaze fixated at the old man.

His tone was also calm, but there was a dash of fear in his eyes.

He was clearly aware that Earth Hermit was far more powerful than him and he couldn't take on the guy alone.

"He is just a friend of mine. We have a lot in common and I enjoy his company every now and then.

That means, if you want to bully him, you'll need to get past me first,"

the Earth Hermit replied, rolling his eyes at him as if he had asked a very preposterous question.

"Earth Hermit! From what we recall, the last time we met, you teamed up with Austin and stole the Purple Immortal's coffin.

That was wrong of you and you didn't have a right to do that.

So now, hand over those treasures you got from inside the coffin and we'll call us even and square," the holy lord of the Rudimentary Holy Land cut in abruptly.

He gazed at Earth Hermit with a menacing look in his eyes.

"He's right.

I bet you still carry those treasures around with you. They're not yours.

Hand them over!" Another reclusive elder of the holy land followed suite as he walked up to the Earth Hermit.

The prospect of getting back their lost treasures thrilled the rest of the top cultivators. They immediately drew closer to the Earth Hermit in case he decided to flee.

To be honest, anyone would have lost all sense had the treasures of the Purple Immortal been offered to him. The collection which had been hidden inside the Purple Immortal's coffin might even include everything he had acquired in his lifetime. It might even contain the method to reach the Immortal Transforming Realm.

Every single cultivator who knew of that realm dreamt of becoming a master of it, and was ready to do whatever it took even if it meant certain death.

It had been a long, long time in the East Mainland since anyone had reached the Immortal Transforming Realm. Whoever did reach it today would be considered a legend.

Masters of the Immortal Transforming Realm simply did not exist in the East Mainland now.

It was a lifetime pursuit of the cultivators over here to reach this realm somehow, anyhow.

The Earth Hermit, on the other hand, laughed out loud at the prospect.

"You know what? I was extremely lucky to have acquired the treasures of a great master. They are not your property either, even if they are not mine. So even if I took them with me, why would I give them to you? Are you out of your mind?" he retorted.

"Earth Hermit, you talk like you have another choice," the reclusive elder of the Vasteras Holy Land chimed in.

His tone and sentence was extremely suggestive

w. It allowed the Earth Hermit to stay unharmed.

These chains burnt with a wild fire and wrapped the Earth Hermit and Austin to protect them from the attacks of the cultivators.

So even though they weren't attacking the cultivators just yet, they didn't get hurt either.

The purple chains moved around the two of them in a fixed, mysterious trajectory and seemed to always collide with the opposing powers.

Even the most powerful cultivators were taken aback by this scene. This was beyond their imagination.

'Earth Hermit is scary good. He can easily withstand our attacks, ' they remarked, startled by their enemy's strength.

"Surprising! You have mastered the laws of nature and have learned how to use their power.

You are much stronger than you were before.

I am sure that the treasures you stole from the Purple Immortal's coffin take the credit for your rapid progress. That's not a problem. It's not going to help you.

You can't get away,"

the holy lord of the Rudimentary Holy Land declared with a livid face.

So many top cultivators had been working together to attack Earth Hermit, but they still were unable to get the upper hand. This was, frankly, embarrassing.

To get his pride back, the holy lord of the Rudimentary Holy Land who didn't have a choice and in his desperation, resorted to his secret weapon. He extended his hand in the air, and a jade bracelet materialized over his palm.

All of a sudden, a terrifying, and unbeatable power began to roar from the sky. The force was abstract and could not be seen. But even feeling its effects was a truly fearsome feeling.

"That is the ultimate magical treasure!" the Earth Hermit exclaimed in an astonished tone.

The composed, calm look suddenly vanished from his face and deep fear took its place.

"Brat, we're done for. I honestly didn't expect the holy lord of the Rudimentary Holy Land to bring their ultimate magical treasure here. There's no stopping that thing!"

the Earth Hermit desperately called out to Austin through his spiritual sense.
