After all, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. If he made the first move, the other party would take advantage of the situation. It was better to wait and see.
Although Lin Xiao was patient, the disciples of the Yin Yang Palace could not hold on any longer.
The terrifying auras from both sides had made the three of them breathless. One of the disciples of the Yin Yang Palace mustered up his courage and said, "Guys, I think it's better if we do it this way. Two pearls, two stalks, one for each of you. This way, we don't have to fight for it.
"One for each of you? Why should we!"
The disciples of the Feng people frowned and said rudely, "The three of you are our captives. These two Five Elements Water Spirit Pearls belong to the Feng people."
"Ridiculous!"
Upon hearing the disciples of the Feng people, the disciples of the Tingyu Sect sneered and said, "Such treasures should belong to the strong. If you have the ability, you can snatch them from us!"
"Don't go too far!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Feng people's faces turned ugly.
Of course, they were no match for the disciples of the Tingyu Sect, but they could not be so cowardly. Hence, they could only scold the three disciples of the Yin Yang Palace. "What are the three of you waiting for? Come over here!"
"If you dare to take a step forward, I'll kill you immediately!"
Upon hearing the disciples of the Feng people's words, the disciples of the Tingyu Sect threatened them coldly.
Upon hearing this, the three disciples of the Yin Yang Palace were about to cry. What had they done wrong? They could neither advance nor retreat. What should they do?
Finally, the disciples of the Yin Yang Palace who were holding the Water Spirit Pearls could not withstand the pressure. They threw the two Five Elements Water Spirit Pearls back into the cold pond and shouted, "If you want to snatch them, go ahead. It's none of our business!"
"Stop!"
Upon seeing the actions of the disciples of the Yin Yang Palace, the disciples of the Feng people and the Tingyu Sect shouted at the same time. However, it was too late. The Five Elements Water Spirit Pearls had already been thrown out by the disciples of the Yin Yang Palace.
Just as the two Five Elements Water Spirit Pearls were about to fall into the cold pond, a hand suddenly reached out and caught the two pearls. Then, the hand disappeared.
"Who is it!"
Seeing this, the expressions of the disciples of Feng people and Tingyu Sect changed. They looked at the person who snatched the two Five Elements Water Spirit Pearls and shouted, "If you know what's good for you, stop right there. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Go!"
Lin Xiao frowned and ordered Master Tongtian and Sun Wukong.
Master Tongtian and Sun Wukong were invincible existences at the peak of the semi-sage realm. However, the strength of the other party wasn't weak either. Moreover, there were a total of ten people on both sides. Lin Xiao didn't dare to say that he was 100% sure that he would win if he were to fight against them. Therefore, the best strategy was to escape.
In any case, he had already obtained the Five Elements Water Spirit Pearl, so there was no need to keep it.
"It's Zhu Yuyan, Zhu Yuyan from the righteous path alliance!"
"I didn't expect them to be from the Righteous Dao Alliance. Chase them!"
…
When Lin Xiao and the others were escaping, the people of Tingyu Sect and Feng people also caught up with them. They all recognized Zhu Yuyan and chased after her while shouting at the same time.
Zhu Yuyan was helpless about this.
Of course, she didn't want to run with Lin Xiao. However, in this situation, she had no choice but to follow Lin Xiao. The people of Feng people and Tingyu Sect all believed that she had taken the Five Elements Water Spirit Pearl. If she was alone, they would definitely not let her go. Therefore, her only choice was to escape with Lin Xiao.
Fortunately, her strength was not bad. She could barely keep up with the pace of Master Tongtian and Sun Wukong. In addition, the surrounding terrain was more suitable for escaping. Under Lin Xiao's lead, they took a detour and returned to the cold pool where the Five Elements Water Spirit Pearl was.
Worried that the people of Tingyu Sect and Feng people would catch up with them again, Lin Xiao glanced at Zhu Yuyan and said, "If you want to live, jump down with me!"
"I …"
Zhu Yuyan wanted to say something, but Lin Xiao had already jumped down. Master Tongtian and Sun Wukong naturally followed Lin Xiao. Zhu Yuyan looked around, gritted her teeth and jumped down as well.
After entering the cold pool, Zhu Yuyan quivered and her whole body trembled. In addition, she was not a good swimmer, so she was about to drown. She grabbed Lin Xiao, who was beside her, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. She hugged Lin Xiao tightly and refused to let go.
"You …"
Lin Xiao was also helpless when Zhu Yuyan hugged him tightly.
Back then, when he accidentally touched Zhu Yuyan, she immediately gave him a hard time. Now that they were in the water, she was very active and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go. In addition, her clothes were thin to begin with, and once they were soaked in the water, her curvaceous figure was completely exposed, making Lin Xiao feel a little helpless.
Feeling Zhu Yuyan's soft body, Lin Xiao was a little restless.
Although he did not have any thoughts about Zhu Yuyan, she was after all a great beauty. Being so close to him, he still had some feelings. He reached out and pushed Zhu Yuyan, wanting her to loosen her grip a little. He did not expect her to hug him even tighter.
Zhu Yuyan's soft body pressed against Lin Xiao's arm. Her two legs were clamped around Lin Xiao's waist. Like an octopus, she clung to Lin Xiao, which made Lin Xiao feel very helpless.
However, he also had no choice. Zhu Yuyan was obviously not a good swimmer. The cold pool was so deep. If he really pushed Zhu Yuyan away, she was likely to drown.
Under such circumstances, of course, Lin Xiao could not push Zhu Yuyan away.
Firstly, Zhu Yuyan had followed him all the way, so she was more or less useful. Lin Xiao did not want to lose a subordinate like this. Secondly, Zhu Yuyan was a beauty. Lin Xiao could not be so heartless as to destroy a beauty.
With one hand holding Zhu Yuyan and the other paddling forward, Lin Xiao swam into the cold pool.
He had his own reasons for choosing to jump into the cold pool.
On one hand, the most dangerous place was the safest place. The people from the Tingyu Sect and the Feng people would definitely not expect him to return here. Hiding here was undoubtedly the safest place for him. On the other hand, he wanted to see if there were any other Five Elements Spirit Pearls under the cold pool. If not, it would be good to have some Five Elements Spirit Pearls.
Although Master Tongtian's awakening task only required one Five Elements Spirit Pearl, the Five Elements Spirit Pearl was still a rare treasure. If there were more, it would definitely be better to have more.
Furthermore, the three Yin Yang Palace disciples found two Five Elemental Water Spirit Pearls not long after they entered the cold pool. If not for their heaven-defying luck, there would definitely be more than two Five Elemental Water Spirit Pearls in the cold pool!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao continued to drag Zhu Yuyan forward. He wanted to see what other treasures were hidden under the cold pool!
