When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 252 The eve of the decisive battle

"Look at this, is this even human language?"

Never offend Ninth Brother again!

After expressing his opinion, Xiao Tu glanced at Zhong An Xianjun, who was struggling inside the container.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

A day later, after the little ones had taken eight hundred baths, they came to Zhu Chongjiu's side, wanting to ask him what he thought of the treasure that had been sent this time.

Seeing the little ones come to his side, Zhu Chongjiu subtly moved to the side, and the sharp-eyed Xiao Jin immediately objected.

He darted forward and pounced on Zhu Chongjiu while he wasn't paying attention.

The remaining Xiao Lei and Xiao Tu understood Xiao Jin's intention. Seeing that Xiao Jin had controlled Zhu Chongjiu, they instantly came to Zhu Chongjiu's side and hugged him tightly.

While holding Zhu Chongjiu, Xiao Jin kept rubbing against Zhu Chongjiu's body.

"Ninth Brother, I've missed you so much!"

Let me give you a big hug.

The remaining two, Xiao Lei and Xiao Tu, also imitated Xiao Jin's words, rubbing against Zhu Chongjiu's body as they spoke.

At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly thought of a line from a song in his hometown: "I should play along with your act, but I'll pretend not to see it."

Don't force the person who loves you most to perform impromptu.

When did we lose all sense of decency?

"Passively following someone else's lies makes you seem less pitiful."

Finally, after Zhu Chongjiu gave up struggling, the three little ones lingered for a full half hour before everyone separated and sat down again.

"Ninth Brother, if things don't work out, why don't we just stop doing anything and just hide away?"

Xiao Tu then said to the silent crowd, "You possess the Great Sword and know the power of innate supreme treasures and divine weapons. Let's not take any risks."

This thing can disappear completely if you get hit by it even once.

I suggest we play it safe.

Hearing Xiao Tu's words, the other little ones nodded silently in agreement.

Even Xiao Jin, who is usually the most irreverent, said at this moment, "Xiao Tu is right, life is more important than anything else!"

Seeing the somber atmosphere, Zhu Chongjiu stood up and laughed, "Your Ninth Brother isn't stupid, why would he rush to offer himself up as a sacrifice?"

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

After saying that, he walked alone into the depths of the dense forest.

They walked and walked for countless days until they reached a place a thousand miles away from the immortal army.

Zhu Chongjiu stood atop a giant tree, looking at the large array used to contain the army in the distance, which was emitting various colors of light, and cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, Xiao Jin is right."

Six elemental spirits, two divine beasts, and nine of us brothers.

If we add that elite soldier Xiao Feng later, then we'll have our own great sword.

It would be an injustice to refuse such a treasure that has been delivered right to our doorstep.

But how can I get it?

Eleven innate supreme treasures and divine weapons, one of which is even a storage-type supreme treasure and divine weapon—this is clearly a set!

After saying this, Zhu Chongjiu sighed deeply and stood still.

And this stop lasted for half a month.

During this time, Xiao Jin and the others also sent him messages, thinking that something had happened to him.

But after receiving Zhu Chongjiu's telepathic message, the little ones were relieved.

During these two weeks, the army did not send out a single soldier.

During the past two weeks, Zhu Chongjiu had also reviewed all the knowledge he had learned in his hometown.

In the end, I feel that the sixteen-character policy set forth by a great man from my hometown is still the most practical for the current situation.

The enemy's strength is now dozens of times greater than ours, so we can only wait and see.

Wait until the enemy makes a mistake, then catch them off guard.

Having learned of the plight of these immortals from Zhong'an Immortal Lord, Zhu Chongjiu knew that they, not he, should be the ones in a hurry.

Just a month after he calmed down, a small team of eleven immortal lords finally led an army out to search for him, just like before.

Zhu Chongjiu, using his access privileges, watched as a Celestial Lord, seemingly and intermittently, broke away from the Celestial Lord's group. He was secretly alarmed and thought, "I'm so glad I didn't kill that Celestial Lord Zhong'an with a single sword strike back then."

Otherwise, we would have truly fallen into their trap.

Even though they usually work in teams of ten, now that there's an extra person, Zhu Chongjiu, relying on his authority as the Wood Ancestor, won't give it much thought.

Watching the search army recede into the distance, Zhu Chongjiu grinned and said, "In less than ten years, I will be boarding the Void Ship."

"Let's see what kind of tricks you can pull off with these eleven innate supreme treasures and divine weapons!"

Having said that, he flashed back to his base camp without attempting to kill anyone.

Even the army at the very back.

Upon seeing Zhu Chongjiu return, the children anxiously inquired about their ninth brother's whereabouts over the past few days.

After hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu took out a small package from his storage ring and smiled at everyone, saying, "I'm going to gather some ingredients. We're having hot pot today."

It has to be said that this is the Divine Wood Immortal Palace, where you can find the ingredients for many seasonings, unlike in the Azure God Realm, where something was always missing.

A moment later, a fragrant aroma began to waft from a large, golden pot.

At the same time, Xiao Tu's voice could be heard, "Ninth Brother, make your fire bigger."

"This is a demonic beast; it won't cook if the fire isn't high enough!"

Amidst the laughter and meditative practice of the crowd, year after year passed, and five years went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, within the army, the immortal lords were so anxious that they were kicking the back of their heads.

"What should we do?"

Our ancestor has already sent several telepathic messages to inquire about our situation.

But we haven't even seen a hair on that human ant.

"What else can we do? These human ants just won't show themselves. What can we do?"

"Is it because the trap we set wasn't obvious enough?"

"Let those human ants think they can't find an opportunity to strike?"

"Impossible. You all know what it was like before."

How did our two hundred or so colleagues die?

He even dared to break into the great formation we set up, kill people in front of everyone, and incidentally anger Zhu Rong Tian Guang to death.

So it's definitely not a problem with our trap.

"Does that mean he knows about our plan?"

"So you know the Immortal Venerable sent us a supreme treasure to deal with him?"

"That's still not allowed!"

Based on the methods these human ants have used in the past, they always kill with a single blow.

Could it be that they didn't kill Immortal Lord Zhong'an back then?

"So they managed to extract all the information from him?"

The immortal lords pondered and pondered, but still could not come up with a definite answer.

Two more years passed, and the ancestor once again inquired about the situation in their area via telepathy.

He also gave a stern rebuke to everyone.

The immortal lords helplessly recounted the current situation once more.

At the same time, we request that the ancestors use their great magical powers to help us find the location of those human ants.

However, due to the isolation set up by the Heavenly Dao Wood Ancestor for this world, coupled with the increase in Zhu Chongjiu's strength at this time, even though several Immortal Emperors risked their cultivation and even their immortal spirits, they were unable to sense where Zhu Chongjiu was hiding.

In the end, it took the combined efforts of several immortals to roughly calculate Zhu Chongjiu's current location.

Upon receiving the news, the immortal lords immediately mobilized their army, with over a hundred lords dispatched to search the location given by the immortal venerable.

However, three days after the army set out, when they were less than 20,000 li away from Zhu Chongjiu, he led his followers away in a single teleportation and ran off to a distant place.

When he discovered this situation, Zhu Chongjiu roughly guessed that it was someone at or above the level of an Immortal Emperor who was trying to calculate his position.

But what's the use of that?

The teleportation is so seamless that even a Heavenly Lord wouldn't be able to react in time, and could be used to assassinate someone on the spot. Even if one were standing a thousand meters away from the army, they would be helpless.

As for why Zhu Chongjiu fled with the little ones despite the great distance, it was because of the treasures they brought, one of which was a storage item.

Therefore, it's best to play it safe.

After their army's search turned into a complete failure, the group of immortal lords were nearly driven mad by Zhu Chongjiu's torment.

Some immortal lords even manifested their true forms, nearly a million feet tall, shouting and clamoring for Zhu Chongjiu to come and kill them.

In the end, in order to lure Zhu Chongjiu into a trap, the immortal lords even removed the great formation they had painstakingly set up around their army.

Even so, Zhu Chongjiu still did not show up.

Time is passing slowly, and both sides are now suffering.

The immortal lords would die if they couldn't capture Zhu Chongjiu, but Zhu Chongjiu would regret it for the rest of his life if he couldn't get any of the many innate treasures and divine weapons before he left.

Finally, with just over a year left before the arrival of the Void Ship, the 158 Immortal Lords devised a final solution.

That is, everyone draws lots, and whoever draws the lot gets to go out and search alone with a supreme treasure weapon.

Although it's not as safe as everyone going out together, this is the last chance to make those human ants show themselves.

I refuse to believe that a Celestial Lord wielding a supreme innate weapon could be no match for a Heavenly General who also possesses a supreme innate weapon.

At that moment, Zhu Chongjiu, who was lying on the tree trunk, suddenly sat up and said with a wicked smile, "Finally couldn't hold back, huh?"

"Divine weapon, here I come!"
