Chapter 1172: Chapter 53 Meng Shuai Joins the Army Part 9 [Major Chapter]_5 Chapter 1172: Chapter 53 Meng Shuai Joins the Army Part 9 [Major Chapter]_5 “Grant me a path to survival!” White Rainbow roared angrily.

“Spare you I can, if you accompany me back into seclusion.”

“Qing Ming!”

White Rainbow, filled with rage, bellowed, “You actually want to imprison me?”

“You know as well as I do what you’re thinking!”

Qing Ming spoke gravely, “I’ll only confine you for three thousand years! After that, you’re free.”

“Three thousand years? Ha-ha-ha, Qing Ming, three thousand years?”

White Rainbow laughed heartily, “Just you try!”

The once lackluster long sword was now emitting a dazzling brilliance, even greater than before, as White Rainbow mustered all his strength.

Although White Rainbow had always been at a distinct disadvantage, neither Qing Ming nor the other venerable figure had ever really dealt a killing blow.

This battle was not about taking White Rainbow’s life. If he wanted to escape, he could have at any time.

At their level, simply wanting to escape was hardly difficult.

White Rainbow, unleashing all his power in a frenzy of counterattacks, suddenly tore open a gap, darted through it, and transformed into a streak of white light, speeding away.

“Chase him!” commanded Qing Ming.

“You’ve gone soft,” said Green Wolf.

“There’s no helping it,” Qing Ming replied with a wry smile, “Do we really need to kill him with our own hands?”

“But his escape bodes ill for the future.”

“The future may hold threats, but to say they are boundless is excessive.”

Qing Ming said, “With the royal bloodline of Great Qi in our possession and the destiny treasures fused into the Qin country’s Jade Seal; White Rainbow, alone and isolated, will ultimately be impotent and powerless.”

“But he could attempt to free the remnants of Great Qi at any time… won’t this set a precedent for others to follow?”

“You can’t push people too far; driving him out is enough,” Qing Ming sighed.

“Should we still pursue him?”

“The pursuit must go on. At the very least, he can’t be allowed to cause trouble during the unification.”

Green Wolf rolled her eyes, an impish gesture.

Clearly, she was frustrated with Qing Ming’s leniency.

Isn’t this just asking for trouble?

Yet, she understood that even though Qing Ming and White Rainbow weren’t close friends, they were contemporaries who had raced together for ages and coexisted in this world for countless years.

The idea of actually killing White Rainbow…

Was almost like Qing Ming erasing a part of his own life.

White Rainbow could die, but not by the hands of Qing Ming. It was that simple.

And so, the two pursued White Rainbow once again.

If it had only been Qing Ming, White Rainbow might have had an easier time escaping.

But now with Green Wolf joining Qing Ming, it wasn’t so easy.

Green Wolf had a talent for tracking.

The relentless pursuit dragged on for days.

Whether by chance or fate, something incredible happened…

While wildly fleeing, Purple Emperor alternated forms: sometimes a purple cloud, sometimes a rainbow light, sometimes piercing through mountains, other times soaring over lakes and seas…

But the little ones behind him were not giving up.

Those not good at flying periodically rested on the backs of the Demon Beasts, taking turns carrying and flying.

The team became more and more strung out, but no one was willing to fall behind.

Just the thought of being left behind and the subsequent reckoning by their leader was more than anyone could bear.

In the midst of the pursuit…

The Purple Emperor suddenly saw a white light approaching from the opposite direction, moving at an extraordinary speed.

His eyes lit up, and with a loud roar, he blurted out, “White Rainbow!”

White Rainbow, following the sound, naturally recognized the oncoming Purple Emperor and was immediately overjoyed, “Purple Emperor!”

Both were delighted.

My gosh, backup at last!

White Rainbow, having been entangled by Qing Ming all this time, was naturally unaware that Purple Emperor had helped the Qin Army annihilate his own Great Qi, and their reunion was just as warm as ever.

“Purple Emperor! Help me!”

Coincidentally, at the same time, Purple Emperor was also calling out, “White Rainbow! Lend me your strength!”

Both opened their mouths and then shut them, their words nearly identical.

Then, the two great venerables both fell silent.

What the hell… you’re being chased too?
