"Is this even human?" Bai Feng was terrified.
"Withdraw." Mo Ya shouted, then turned and shot away, making his escape.
That kind of terrifying explosion would have blown him to pieces long ago!
"Can you escape?" The voice seemed to be ringing in his ears, making Mo Ya's scalp tingle and his soul tremble with fear. He felt his body fly backward uncontrollably.
" Mo Ya."
As Bai Feng shot forward, the moment she grabbed Mo Ya's arm, her body lost its balance and, unable to gain any leverage in mid-air, was also pulled in.
" Bai Feng, let go!" Mo Ya shouted.
Bai Feng did not respond, but instead hurled her feather darts at the golden barrier around Xiao Tian, striking it like bolts of lightning.
Xiao Tian moved, and the golden barrier dissipated accordingly. Facing several lightning-fast feather darts, he flicked his finger and deflected them.
"This!" Bai Feng's scalp tingled. Was Commander Xiao Tian's fingernails made of black iron? They were so hard!
"Hehehe, tell Ji Wuye that I happen to need two more people to serve tea and water. If you're not satisfied, you can come to the palace to find me."
Xiao Tian had one hand around the neck of one of them. Mo Ya and Bai Feng were bound hand and foot by the Adamantine Hoop Ring that flew out from Xiao Tian himself, and were unable to resist.
The remaining members of the Hundred Birds Organization were terrified, as if they had seen a ghost or a god, and their hearts pounded with fear.
"Withdraw!"
The Da Siming's eyes gleamed with astonishment. This was the Donghuang Taiyi! So powerful! Like a god!
Inside the General's Mansion.
"A bunch of useless trash!" Ji Wuye's face was extremely gloomy.
Mo Ya was his capable subordinate, an elite among Hundred Birds, and Bai Feng was also quite good. In the end, both of his capable subordinates were captured alive.
Tell me the details of what happened.
"Yes, General." Zhegu from the Hundred Birds Organization recounted the events with a fearful expression.
"Are you sure there's no exaggeration?" Ji Wuye a chill run down his spine and his heart race after hearing this.
"General, no!"
"Alright, you can go now." At this moment, Ji Wuye desperately hoped that some powerful figure with regenerative abilities would appear and help him.
Ji Wuye knew that Commander Xiao Tian was not on the same level as him at all.
"These guys must be cultivators from mythology! Coming to the mortal world to play around, how infuriating! Is it fun?!" Ji Wuye, feeling that everything had changed since Han Fei returned.
"That despicable Han Fei!"
"Prepare the carriage and proceed to the palace!"
Inside the palace, Ji Wuye, with a stiff, old face, poured wine for Xiao Tian.
"Commander Xiao is truly a divine being in this world; no wonder His Majesty took a liking to you at first sight."
"General Ji, that's too harsh. I'm just an ordinary mortal. I've already set my sights on Mo Ya and Bai Feng, and even if you come begging for them, I won't give them to you," Xiao Tian said, scoffing.
"Commander Xiao, you misunderstand. The fact that Mo Ya and Bai Feng have come into your hands means they are bound to be able to unleash their full potential. It would be a waste for me to do so. I am here mainly hoping to exchange skills with you, Commander Xiao, and seek a breakthrough. Also, I have a secret I would like to tell you."
Seeing Ji Wuye's sly, weasel-like smile, Xiao Tian resisted the urge to slap him.
"Guides? That would be no problem."
Ji Wuye was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Commander Xiao to grace us with his presence."
Immediately, Ji Wuye drew his sword and practiced a set of sword moves in the empty space. The moves were fierce and relentless, each one potentially fatal.
"Commander Xiao, please enlighten me?"
Xiao Tian Xiao, put down his wine glass, stood up and walked to the opposite side of Ji Wuye, beckoning with his hand and saying, "Attack me with all your might. Remember, don't hold back."
"Then I must offend you!" Ji Wuye's eyes narrowed slightly, like a tiger staring at its prey, sharp and ferocious.
Ji Wuye launched a frenzied attack, targeting Xiao Tian's vital points, but he couldn't even touch a piece of Xiao Tian's clothing.
Ji Wuye felt a chill run down his spine and was filled with fear. He hadn't thought Commander Xiao was that scary while they were chatting, but when they sparred, he realized just how terrifying Commander Xiao was. His movements were like Gui Mei, impossible to predict, which made Ji Wuye's moves appear passive and chaotic.
"Your mind is in turmoil," Xiao Tian murmured, his fingers radiating golden magical power that crackled with lightning as he caught Ji Wuye's Eight-Foot Sword.
Ji Wuye felt a powerful and overwhelming force strike him from the sword. He could feel ripples of impact on his wrist, which made his arm go numb and his shoulder feel like it was about to be ripped off and dislocated.
Thankfully, we made it through.
"Commander Xiao, your move was terrifying!" Ji Wuye exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
"General Ji, would you like to learn?"
"I want to!" If the Masked Demon King's regenerative power and the promise of immortality had fueled Ji Wuye's pursuit and greed for the vast secrets of the world, then Xiao Tian's move made Ji Wuye realize even more how fragile Wangquan was.
"If I could reach Commander Xiao's level, then the King of Han, the kingdom! would all be within my grasp."
At this moment, Xiao Tian was astonished to find that Ji Wuye had actually knelt down before him.
"Please instruct me, Commander Xiao!"
Seeing Ji Wuye abandon his pride and kneel so hard on the ground, Xiao Tian almost burst out laughing.
He's ruthless!
Ji Wuye's eyes were burning with hope.
Xiao Tian patted Ji Wuye on the shoulder.
"Get up. Due to our sect affiliation, I can only accept you as a nominal disciple. But before you join my Heavenly Dao Palace, you must know one thing."
"Master, please speak!" Ji Wuye said earnestly.
"We, the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Palace, disregard worldly Wangquan and do not harm living beings..."
Ji Wuye quickly considered the situation. Compared to such extraordinary power, Wangquan was indeed nothing. If he had Xiao Tian's ability to catch a blade bare-handed, he could single-handedly hold off thousands or even tens of thousands of troops.
"Our sect does not discriminate against beauty or lust, nor against the seven emotions and six desires, but you must remember that cultivating the body Xiuxin. Furthermore, if you agree to join my Heavenly Dao Palace, you must assist in completing a mission."
Ji Wuye's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "Master, are you looking for the jade fragment of the Nine-Colored Glazed Glass?"
"Indeed, you have a powerful backer. You should think carefully. Before joining my Heavenly Dao Palace, you must sever that connection. And to ensure your loyalty, I will only teach you the basics of cultivation at first."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"Master, to be honest, the person behind me is extremely wicked. He once severed his own limbs right in front of me, only for them to quickly grow back. His methods are terrifying."
"Give him a rough description of his appearance." Xiao Tian feigned a sudden change in expression, as if he had thought of something.
"A strange, bulbous eye, a black mask, a black cloak, and a sinister, eerie voice."
"I understand now, it's actually the Undying Demon, and he's still alive." Xiao Tian stared at Ji Wuye and said, "If you cooperate with me and help me eliminate the Undying Demon, then I can skip the basics and teach you our sect's inner cultivation method."
It would be a lie to say that Ji Wuji wasn't excited at this moment; in fact, he was thrilled. He imagined that if this person and the Undying Demon were to perish together, and he were to obtain their inheritance, wouldn't that be incredibly fortunate?
"This disciple will certainly assist!"
