"Ding! Successfully kicked Mo Ya until he was dizzy! World Fragment Progress 50%!"
Xiao Tian felt relieved. While in stealth mode, he separated a wisp of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame energy from the Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame to help Mo Ya maintain his mental integrity, and then left using the Wall-Passing Technique.
Mo Ya scratched his head, realizing that the illusions around him had disappeared and his mind was clear. Although he didn't understand why he had felt a pain in his back earlier, as if he had been kicked, since there was no one around at the time.
Wei Zhuang, who was outside the door, sensed something and felt a hand on his shoulder, which sent chills down his spine.
"Let's go somewhere else," Xiao Tian whispered.
Wei Zhuang was shocked. This Xiao Tian was also mysterious and unpredictable; could he be invisible?
Wei Zhuang was dissatisfied with his own consciousness; he only realized it when his hand had already landed on his shoulder.
If Xiao Tian were an enemy, he would have died long ago.
Wei Zhuang was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was filled with unease after seeing Xiao Tian appear.
"Brother Xiao, where are we going?"
"Just follow along, I'll take you to see a show-off." Xiao Tian chuckled.
Before long, Xiao Tian, relying on the connection left by the Flying Thunder God Technique Mark before the Corpse-Controlling Demon, easily entered the underground secret chamber of the Crown Prince's residence with Wei Zhuang.
Inside the secret chamber, Tian Ze sat cross-legged in meditation. The Corpse-Controlling Demon had already informed Xiao Tian of his arrival and was watching the Crown Prince from the side.
"Lord Xiao Tian."
The Corpse-Controlling Demon's expression changed as he watched the stone gate part, revealing Xiao Tian and Wei Zhuang.
Tian Ze opened his red eyes, his flowing blue hair falling down, and stood up to look at Xiao Tian and Wei Zhuang.
"I've heard of you from the Corpse-Controlling Demon and the King of a Hundred Poisons. How about we cooperate?"
"Cooperate? Do you even qualify?" Xiao Tian scoffed.
Wei Zhuang was surprised that Xiao Tian knew the remnants of the Baiyue.
"Lord Xiao Tian, aren't you going too far with your words?" The Corpse-Controlling Demon frowned.
"What, you Corpse-Controlling Demon? You've found a master, so you're all that? Your master is much weaker than you now. Is he even worth your continued following?" Xiao Tian said with disdain.
"Lord Xiao Tian, you don't need to sow discord between me and my master."
Tian Ze couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Interesting, Xiao Tian. I'd like to ask you quietly, what abilities do you have?"
Tian Ze's eyes erupted with a scarlet light, and black energy swirled around him. A metallic black snake, wreathed in black flames, shot towards Xiao Tian with a thought.
Wild Dance of Ten Thousand Snakes!
Xiao Tian shook his head, expressing his disappointment with Tian Ze's level. His own protective magical barrier appeared, shining with golden light, like a celestial being, magnificent and radiant, illuminating the secret chamber.
Wei Zhuang frowned and involuntarily retreated. He saw that although Tian Ze's metallic black snakes had terrifying attack power, they could not harm Xiao Tian at all, and could not even break through the light shield defense.
Wei Zhuang had a strange feeling: were he and Xiao Tian on the same path? He cultivated martial arts, while Xiao Tian probably cultivated Sage Art.
" Tian Ze, you're still too green! When cooperating with me, you can't have that kind of attitude anymore. I'm not your vassal."
Xiao Tian approached Tian Ze step by step. The metallic black snakes began to collapse. Tian Ze's face was gloomy. More metallic black snakes flew around and attacked Xiao Tian frantically.
"You still don't understand the difference between us." Xiao Tian shook his head.
"Lord Xiao Tian, I'm sorry!" The Corpse -Corpse-Controlling Demon's expression was solemn as he murmured ancient words and released a spell.
However, the next moment, the Corpse-Controlling Demon coughed up blood, his spell failed, and he was attacked by the backlash.
Xiao Tian chuckled. Although the Corpse-Controlling Demon was strong, its cultivation level was suppressed by this world, making it the ceiling of this world. However, it had used the wrong methods on the wrong target.
He is immune to spiritual and soul-based methods.
Wei Zhuang was terrified. Xiao Tian's strength was beyond his expectations. Tian Ze was nothing in his eyes, but the Corpse-Controlling Demon gave him a dangerous feeling, yet it couldn't do anything to Xiao Tian.
Tian Ze was at his wit's end; all his methods were utterly ineffective against Xiao Tian's own protective shield.
However, Tian Ze Indomitable. His bloodshot eyes were ferocious, and he had his pride and his own unyielding spirit.
Xiao Tian arrived in front of Tian Ze, and the powerful pressure made it difficult for Tian Ze to breathe. His body felt like it was stuck in mud, and he felt like his chest was about to explode.
This state lasted for three minutes.
Xiao Tian's aura subsided, and Tian Ze breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily. He was drenched in sweat, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst.
"Tianze, you're not qualified to cooperate with me yet. But if you can defeat Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei later, I might consider it."
"Hmph! Bai Yifei, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"
"Anyone can say harsh words. We're taking the Crown Prince with us. You'd better get out of here." Xiao Tian's tone left no room for argument.
Tian Ze's face was grim; he still hadn't gotten what he wanted.
"Leave now. I know what you want. Wait for me anytime on the riverbank, 30 li Xinzheng City."
Xiao Tian grabbed the unconscious crown prince and turned to leave.
Wei Zhuang glanced at Tian Ze, seemingly lost in thought, and followed Xiao Tian.
" The Baiyue are not peaceful. What if they find out your secret if we cooperate with them?" Wei Zhuang stared at Xiao Tian.
"So what if I know?" Xiao Tian chuckled, showing no concern whatsoever.
After all, both the Corpse-Controlling Demon and the King of a Hundred Poisons knew exactly what the Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Fragment was, and Tian Ze certainly knew as well.
If Tian Ze doesn't want to die, he definitely won't act recklessly, and he won't be able to figure out anything from the World Fragment.
Xiao Tian didn't believe that even he couldn't develop the World Fragment for its secondary function of smashing people, so that anyone else could develop it for a second function.
Xiao Tian, carrying the unconscious Crown Prince and Wei Zhuang, left the underground chamber and walked out of the general store. He happened to make eye contact with Han Qiancheng, the adopted son of the Fourth Prince Han Yu, who was scaling the roof of the opposite building.
"Your Highness." Han Qiancheng hadn't expected the Ninth Prince's men to act so quickly and rescue the Crown Prince so soon.
"Young man, you can go back now, it's time to call it a day." Xiao Tian glanced at Han Qiancheng and continued walking.
"I need to check if the Crown Prince is unwell."
Xiao Tian would never allow that kid to inspect it, after all, Han Qiancheng came to kill the Crown Prince, and Xiao Tian knew that very well.
If the Crown Prince dies, and the King of Han investigates the matter, Ji Wuye wields too much power, so the Wang Ye of Han wouldn't dare to go too far. On the contrary, Han Fei would be criticized, and even if he is not seriously injured, he would still lose face. As for the position of Crown Prince, it would definitely fall into the hands of the Fourth Prince.
It must be said that the fourth prince Han Yu, made a good calculation.
"Get out of the way. Is it any of your business whether the Crown Prince is alright? Are you trying to steal the emperor's job?" Xiao Tian retorted without giving him any face.
Han Qiancheng was at a loss for words and could only retreat secretly.
Xiao Tian didn't give Han Qiancheng a chance to ambush and kill the Crown Prince. He and Wei Zhuang moved very fast and soon left the Crown Prince's residence, arriving at Han Fei and the others' location.
"Many thanks to Brother Xiao and Brother Wei Zhuang for their efforts in rescuing His Highness the Crown Prince."
After setting the crown prince down, Xiao Tian began to wander in a trance.
"Congratulations, Ninth Young Master, on having such a powerful subordinate. The success of the rescue of the Crown Prince is largely due to your efforts." Han Qiancheng was inwardly very displeased.
