Di Xiao Arrives at Plum Mountain, Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain's Shock!

Plum Mountain.

Yuan Hong and the other six monsters of Plum Mountain were cultivating within their cave abode.

Di Xiao's figure sped through the air from afar, arriving outside Plum Mountain.

The Plum Mountain Seven Monsters, who had been cultivating in their cave abode, all abruptly opened their eyes.

Then Yuan Hong and the other six monsters emerged from their cave abode and came into the skies above Plum Mountain.

Yuan Hong and the six monsters of Plum Mountain saw Di Xiao standing in the air outside Plum Mountain.

Yuan Hong said coldly, "Who are you, and what brings you to Plum Mountain?"

Di Xiao said, "You are Yuan Hong, aren't you?"

Yuan Hong said, "That's right. I am Yuan Hong, leader of the Seven Sages of Plum Mountain!"

"May I know who you are?"

The other six monsters of Plum Mountain all eyed Di Xiao like tigers watching their prey.

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, this is not the place to talk!"

Yuan Hong pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Then let us speak in our cave abode."

Di Xiao nodded. "All right."

With that, Yuan Hong prepared to lead Di Xiao to the cave abode where they cultivated.

At that moment, the other six monsters of Plum Mountain—Jin Dasheng, Zhu Zizhen, Dai Li, Wu Long, Chang Hao, and Yang Xian—transmitted their voices to Yuan Hong.

"Brother Yuan Hong, this man's origins are unknown. If we invite him into our cave abode and he suddenly attacks us—"

"Then we'll truly be letting a wolf into the house, Brother Yuan Hong."

Yuan Hong replied, "What is there to fear? The seven of us are all Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal experts. Must we fear him alone?"

The six monsters, including Zhu Zizhen, said, "But, Brother Yuan Hong, none of us can see through his cultivation realm."

"Could he be a Quasi-Sage realm expert?"

Yuan Hong replied, "What is there to fear? So what if he is a Quasi-Sage realm expert?"

"Once he enters our cave abode, even if he is a Quasi-Sage realm expert, we need not fear him."

Di Xiao detected an extremely faint fluctuation of magical power between Yuan Hong and the six monsters of Plum Mountain.

Di Xiao knew that Yuan Hong and the six monsters of Plum Mountain must be secretly discussing something.

Without changing expression, Di Xiao continued onward with Yuan Hong and the other six monsters toward their cave abode.

Before long, Di Xiao arrived at the summit of Plum Mountain with Yuan Hong and the six monsters of Plum Mountain.

At the summit of Plum Mountain, Yuan Hong led Di Xiao into the largest hall.

After both sides took their seats, Yuan Hong looked at Di Xiao and said, "Fellow Daoist, should you not now explain which faction you come from?"

"What business do you have in coming to Plum Mountain to find us???"

After Yuan Hong spoke, he fixed Di Xiao with an unblinking stare. The other six monsters were also secretly gathering their magical power, ready to deal with any sudden turn of events.

Di Xiao smiled. "I am Di Xiao!"

Upon hearing Di Xiao refer to himself as "I" and name himself Di Xiao, Yuan Hong and the six monsters of Plum Mountain all stared at him in shock.

Yuan Hong said in astonishment, "Fellow Daoist, why do you refer to yourself as 'I'?"

"And why do you share the same surname as His Majesty the Human Emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty?"

"Are the two of you connected in any way?"

Zhu Zizhen, Jin Dasheng, Dai Li, Wu Long, Chang Hao, and Yang Xian also looked at Di Xiao with astonishment in their eyes.

With a casual flip of his hand, Di Xiao produced a seal in his palm out of thin air.

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, do you recognize this?"

Yuan Hong and the six monsters of Plum Mountain stared at the seal in Di Xiao's hand, the shock on their faces growing even more intense.

Yuan Hong said in astonishment, "Isn't this the Human Emperor Seal of His Majesty the Human Emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty?"

"How is the Human Emperor Seal in your hands???"

The other six monsters of Plum Mountain stared intently at the seal in Di Xiao's hand.

Yuan Hong and the six monsters of Plum Mountain could clearly sense the power of humanity's providence emanating from the seal.

Yuan Hong and the six monsters of Plum Mountain did not doubt in the slightest whether the Human Emperor Seal in Di Xiao's hand was fake.

For only in the hands of the Human Emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty could the Human Emperor Seal of the Great Shang Dynasty gather the power of humanity's providence.

This showed that the Human Emperor Seal in Di Xiao's hand was undoubtedly the Human Emperor Seal of the Great Shang Dynasty!

With a casual wave of his hand, Di Xiao used his immense magical power to directly seal off and isolate the entire hall.

Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain saw Di Xiao's actions and immediately sprang to their feet in alarm.

Yuan Hong, Jin Dasheng, Zhu Zizhen, Dai Li, Wu Long, Chang Hao, and Yang Xian all sensed a terrifying surge of dharma power.

In an instant, Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain all turned pale as they stared at Di Xiao.

Di Xiao said, "There is no need for such alarm."

"I merely used dharma power to seal off and conceal this place, so that no one else would learn of our conversation."

Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain stared at Di Xiao in shock. "Who exactly are you???"

"Shouldn't the Human Emperor Seal of the Great Shang Dynasty be in the hands of His Majesty Di Xin, the Human Emperor?"

"How did this Human Emperor Seal end up in your hands?"

Then, under the watchful eyes of Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain, Di Xiao's face changed in an instant.

When Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain clearly saw Di Xiao's face, they stared straight at him, their mouths hanging wide open.

"You are Di Xin, His Majesty the Human Emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty?"

Di Xiao said, "That is correct. It is I!"

Yuan Hong said in shock, "Impossible."

"Di Xin, the Human Emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty, could not possibly be a quasi-sage realm expert!"

Di Xiao said, "What is impossible about it?"

Yuan Hong said, "As far as I know, ever since the Human Emperor of the human race was schemed against by the Supreme Purity Sage in ancient times and tricked out of the Kongtong Seal—"

"Every generation of Human Emperors of the human race has since been unable to cultivate, reduced to mere mortals."

"Every generation of Human Emperors can only enjoy the fortune of the Human Emperor of the human race during their reign."

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, I did not expect you to know such secret matters."

Yuan Hong said, "This is not particularly secret. So long as one is a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal-level expert in the Primordial World, they all know of it!"

"So who exactly are you? Why have you taken on the appearance of Human Emperor Di Xin?"

Di Xiao said, "Have none of you considered this? If I were not the Human Emperor, how could I have gained the Human Emperor Seal's recognition?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain were filled with doubt.

"That's right. If Di Xiao is not the Human Emperor, how could the Human Emperor Seal of the Great Shang Dynasty acknowledge him?"

For a time, Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain were all utterly baffled.

Di Xiao said, "Some matters are beyond your cultivation realm. It is only natural that you do not know of them."

Among the Plum Mountain Seven Monsters, Yuan Hong possessed the highest cultivation realm.

Di Xiao discovered that Yuan Hong's cultivation realm was at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

The cultivation realms of the other six monsters of Plum Mountain ranged from the early to late stages of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

After hearing Di Xiao's words, Yuan Hong kept pondering them inwardly.

Suddenly, Yuan Hong seemed to have thought of something. His gaze at Di Xiao filled with shock.

When Zhu Zizhen, Jin Dasheng, Dai Li, Wu Long, Chang Hao, and Yang Xian saw Yuan Hong's expression, they hurriedly asked, "Brother Yuan Hong, what is it?"

Yuan Hong did not answer Zhu Zizhen and the others. He looked at Di Xiao and said, "Could you be a clone of Human Emperor Di Xin?"

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, you are only half right."

Yuan Hong asked in confusion, "What? Was I wrong?"

"Could it be that you are one of His Majesty Human Emperor Di Xin's Three Corpse Bodies?"

Di Xiao nodded. "Correct!"

Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain all leaped up at once, too shocked to utter a word.

Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain stared at Di Xiao in utter shock!

Now, they finally understood why Di Xiao referred to himself as "I."

And why the Human Emperor Seal of the Great Shang Dynasty recognized him.

Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain said in shock, "You are an expert at the perfected quasi-sage realm, are you not?"

Di Xiao said, "Correct."

Yuan Hong said, "No wonder. The instant your dharma power appeared just now, we felt as though the might of a Sage had descended!"

Then Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain came before Di Xiao and respectfully bowed to him.

"Your subjects, Yuan Hong, Zhu Zizhen, Jin Dasheng, Dai Li, Wu Long, Chang Hao, and Yang Xian, pay respects to Your Majesty!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Di Xiao said, "You may rise. Dispense with the formalities!"
