Beichen Feng's situation was extremely bad. Among the three powerful figures from the Three Great Sage Lands, he was not the weakest and was much stronger than Xuanyin. However, in this Myriad Nether Hell, his abilities were severely restricted, and he did not possess the offensive and defensive skills of Luo Xue from the Biyou Palace and Xuanyin from the Jade Void Palace.
Although Beichen Feng's sword aura was fierce and his protective qi was very strong, the Yomi Nether Water of the Myriad Nether Hell was no ordinary force. It managed to injure Beichen Feng through a gap in the net.
At first, Beichen Feng could withstand it, but as the oppressive power of the Myriad Nether Hell grew increasingly terrifying, his doomsday arrived.
"Old man from the North!"
The oppressive force of the Yomi Nether Water shattered Beichen Feng's spirit sword, making it difficult for him to resist the Yomi Nether Water from that direction for a time.
With one side collapsing, all sides joined the attack, causing Luo Xue of the Biyou Palace and Xuanyin of the Jade Void Palace to suddenly face immense pressure. After resisting for about two seconds, they both coughed up blood and were swallowed by the Yomi Nether Water. They could only struggle to hold on, their energy being rapidly depleted. Like trapped beasts, they were forced to take the beating.
Xiao Tian was acting, forcibly spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, pretending to be seriously injured and pale-faced.
Soon, Beichen Feng, a powerful figure from the Eight Sceneries Palace, was the first to fall, crushed by the terrifying pressure of the Yomi Nether Water!
In an instant Yomi Nether Water were enhanced! The pressure became even more terrifying!
Xuanyin's body was now deformed, the runes protecting him were cracking and collapsing, and his face was in great pain, as if the external pressure was too overwhelming, causing his internal organs to rupture.
As powerful beings in the Shackle Realm, although some of their internal organs were shattered, it wasn't enough to kill them directly. However, with the continuous increase in pressure, as their internal organs shattered, the energy within their bodies began to become somewhat disordered, and their body's pressure threshold became somewhat out of control. Xuanyin was doomed!
He was bleeding profusely from his body! And his condition continued to worsen! Gradually, blood flowed from all seven orifices, his eyeballs cracked, and then burst open.
Unfortunately, Xiao Tian couldn't be bothered to pay attention to such an amusing scene.
"No!"
Xuanyin could no longer withstand the immense pressure from the outside world; his own energy became completely disordered, causing his body to explode.
In any ordinary place, the explosion of the Shackle Realm expert would be more than ten times more terrifying than a Mu Hai bombing. But in this Myriad Nether Hell, the Yomi Nether Water is quite soluble and devouring, which makes the impact of Xuanyin's explosion less severe.
Although the impact was not significant, it was like a stab in the back for Luo Xue of the Biyou Palace nearby, causing her to lose her composure.
"No!"
"Walk!"
Xiao Tian roared, and at the critical moment, he pretended to exert all his strength, as if he had ignited Divine Flame within himself, condensing a mysterious rune.
The appearance of this rune temporarily imprisoned the space here (this was Xiao Tian's understanding and application of the Undying Deva Path, a simplified power of a law).
"Master, save me!"
Luo Xue of the Biyou Palace was barely holding on with her mind; her physical condition was extremely poor, and her injuries were incredibly severe, truly putting her on the verge of death.
The Yomi Nether Water twisted and contorted, revealing a mysterious portal that emitted a dreamlike light that enveloped Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian's figure twisted and blurred, as if he were about to be taken away.
"Help me!" Luo Xue tried her best to shout, but no sound came out. She could only roar in her heart, her eyes fixed on Xiao Tian.
She quickly lost consciousness.
"He only managed to recruit two subordinates!" The tomb owner in the shadows was somewhat dissatisfied, but he was also shocked, wary, and fearful of Xiao Tian's strange departure.
"This guy! He might just wipe out my stronghold in the future! Is the master he talks about not just a hoax, but actually exists?"
When Luo Xue from the Biyou Palace awoke, she found herself in an antique-style room.
"Isn't this the Underworld?"
Luo Xue tried to get up, but felt a sharp pain all over her body, so intense that she almost fainted.
"Strange! My internal organs have actually recovered, and my meridians have been restored! But why does it hurt so much!?"
The door opened, and Xiao Tian walked in, smiling slightly. "That's because your injuries were too severe before. You just woke up, and the pain didn't have time to register. Just bear with it, and you're fine now."
" City Lord Xiao!"
Luo Xue was astonished.
" City Lord Xiao, was it your master who saved us back then?"
"Not bad! Luckily, we weren't too unlucky; Master is nearby, otherwise we would have been trapped there to death!"
Luo Xue recalled the fierce battle before and couldn't help but sigh.
"We underestimated the situation inside the tomb. Alas... Old Man Bei and Perfected Xuanyin's deaths were so undeserved."
"These are truly Three Great Sage Lands, a great loss to humanity."
Xiao Tian's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression. "Back then, I clearly stated the dangers inside the tomb and made you sign the life-or-death contract to dissuade you. To be honest, the first time I went into a tomb, the danger wasn't this terrifying. I miscalculated."
Luo Xue sighed, gazing at Xiao Tian with eyes full of gratitude.
" City Lord Xiao, thank you very much."
Xiao Tian pouted, dissatisfied, "No need for thanks, give me something practical, like spirit stones or something. My master scolded me for a long time, he really gave me a thorough dressing down. Look at my back, it was hit directly with a specially made stick! He said I wouldn't learn my lesson until I felt pain! That old bastard is really ruthless!"
As he spoke, Xiao Tian turned around, lifted his clothes, and revealed the fake injury he had fabricated on his back.
Upon closer inspection, Luo Xue discovered that it was indeed a recent injury, caused by a blunt object.
" City Lord Xiao, I'm sorry you had to suffer. Don't worry, I'll arrange some resources and send them to your residence later."
"Hehehe, that's great!" Xiao Tian immediately beamed with joy.
Luo Xue was both amused and exasperated. This City Lord Xiao Tian was truly interesting and incredibly pragmatic, which she found quite appealing.
" City Lord Xiao, may I ask if I may have the honor of meeting Senior Xuantian?"
Xiao Tian spread his hands, saying helplessly, "Well, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. My master is elusive; he's probably gone back into the tomb again. I don't want to go down into the tomb even if you kill me now."
Luo Xue wasn't surprised.
"In that case, thank you very much City Lord Xiao."
"Hehehe, don't be so polite." When Xiao Tian saw Luo Xue looking at his pajamas, he couldn't help but explain, "Senior, don't be nervous. The dress you were wearing was really tattered. It was a female staff member in the manor who helped you change."
A slight Hongyun appeared on Luo Xue's pale, dimpled face.
Luo Xue turned her head away, feeling incredibly awkward. She changed the subject, saying, " City Lord Xiao, there's no need to call me 'senior.' We're of similar cultivation levels, so you can address me as an equal. You can call me Luo Xue, or just my nickname Xue'er."
Xiao Tian scratched his head, noticing the awkward atmosphere, and turned to open the door, saying, "Beautiful lady, you just woke up, you must be hungry. I'll go and tell them to cook some nutritious food and have it sent over."
Three hours later.
Luo Xue's mental state has recovered very well. Thanks to Xiao Tian's help in treating her injuries, Luo Xue was amazed to find that her very essence had not been damaged. You must know that the battle in the tomb was too tragic. It was lucky to survive even if you lost your cultivation.
But now, not only has his cultivation level not dropped at all, it seems to be breaking free of its Shackle even further!
Misfortune and fortune are intertwined; destruction precedes construction!
Luo Xue can only attribute her success to the power of Master Xiao Tian and Elder Xuantian!
"My injuries are not something that can be healed by ordinary means. I imagine the old senior paid a price as well. When I return to the Biyou Palace, I'll have to bring out all my collections from these years and give them to Xiao Tian. I hope he'll be satisfied with them."
Luo Xue, now able to move freely, murmured to herself, opened the door, and left.
In the city lord's office, Xiao Tian was sitting on the sofa, browsing the news on a brand-new tablet computer.
Across from them, Deputy City Lord Long Zaitian and several elders were processing documents.
"City Lord, we received a call from Dragon City saying that an investigation team will be coming to investigate the cemetery and the cause of death of Lords Beichen Feng and Xuanyin," an elder said to Xiao Deva Path.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes. Investigate? Fine, then go down into the tomb and deliver your own head.
"Lord, the largest Evolver World in the country is buzzing with discussion about this in Luo Cheng. That tomb has become incredibly famous."
"Let them come if they're not afraid of death. I'm not going down there again. Even if the palace masters of the Three Great Sage Lands come, I 'Indomitable submit."
The office door opened, Luo Xue from the Biyou Palace spoke up, "After waking up, I contacted an elder in the palace and explained the situation inside the tomb in detail. Biyou Palace takes this very seriously. Also, I will be responsible for contacting the investigation team from Dragon City, City Lord Xiao need not worry."
"Beautiful lady, why don't you rest a little longer?" Xiao Tian feigned surprise at the Biyou Palace Luo Xue's arrival.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and divine attire makes the god. The already beautiful and charming Luo Xue, after changing into a new black fitted long dress that she had somehow acquired, made her figure look absolutely perfect. Even Xiao Tian, who was experienced in many things, couldn't help but take a few glances at her.
"The senior doctor's treatment methods are very advanced; he is currently able to move freely."
"That's good."
Luo Xue glanced at the people at the desk, then turned to Xiao Tian and said, " City Lord Xiao, let's find somewhere to talk."
"Okay, sure."
As Xiao Tian and Luo Xue departed, an elder couldn't help but chuckle softly, "It seems the lords of the Biyou Palace, one of the Three Great Sage Lands, have quite a good impression of our city lord."
"Fast forward is recommended."
Long Zaitian looked like he was looking for gossip, but thinking about the two men's supernatural abilities, he decided not to say anything more.
Be careful what you say.
"The deputy city lord is right, it's still far from over."
Xiao Tian had amazing hearing; he and Luo Cheng hadn't gone far, yet he heard everything that was being said in the office.
He noticed that Aunt Luo Xue from the Biyou Palace had blushed.
"Ahem, Miss Xue, that's the back garden. I've set up a Spirit Gathering Formation there; the scenery is quite nice. Let's talk there if you need anything."
Luo Xue smiled and nodded, "Alright."
Upon arriving at the back garden, Luo Xue sensed a significant difference in the purity of spiritual energy compared to the outside world. Recalling what Perfected Xuanyin had said about Xiao Tian's display of Domain abilities, she realized that Xiao Tian's Domain techniques were indeed quite talented.
"Although this Spirit Gathering Formation has only been set up for a short time, the spiritual energy here has already undergone a qualitative change. It won't be long before these spiritual flowers transform. It seems that Senior Xuantian might really be that one from the Jade Void Palace," Luo Xue exclaimed.
"Hehehe... I don't care whether my master is from the Jade Void Palace or not. Even if they put the name of the Jade Void Palace on me, I wouldn't be happy. Entering such a sect or holy land would inevitably bring trouble. It's much more comfortable to be a hands-off manager now."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xue couldn't help but smile.
" City Lord Xiao, Luo Xue dare to ask you, do you believe me?"
"Huh?" Xiao Tian was completely confused by the question.
"Beautiful Xue, you're so pretty. Although we've just met, I might not be good at much else, but I'm pretty good at judging people. I know you're kind-hearted and beautiful, and even if you lie to me, it'll be a white lie. I, Xiao Tian, can certainly trust you." Xiao Tian said without batting an eye, though he was almost disgusted by his own sycophantic words.
However, this was nothing in order to fool Luo Xue.
"Hehehe..." Upon hearing this, Luo Xue couldn't help but laugh heartily, her charm captivating.
However, Xiao Tian was somewhat immune to this damned charm.
Luo Xue was surprised and pleasantly surprised by the 'sincerity' in Xiao Heavenly Eye.
" City Lord Xiao, this is what happened." Luo Xue's beautiful face immediately became more serious. She said, "I received a secret report from the Biyou Palace. Jade Void Palace is very angry about the death of Perfected Xuanyin in Luo Cheng. In addition, Senior Xuantian's position within the Jade Void Palace is somewhat awkward. You can take a look at this information."
Luo Xue took out her phone, unlocked it with her retina, opened the interface, found the information copied to the notes, and then handed the phone to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian took his phone, quickly read the message, and his expression grew increasingly serious. Inwardly, he thought, "Damn! This is ridiculous! I'm so unlucky! I just escaped one wave of trouble, and now another one is coming!"
Xiao Tian was speechless. He felt that even if the Palace Master of the Jade Void Palace came in person, he wouldn't doubt it.
This information is truly explosive!
The true Old Ancestor Xuantian left Jade Void Palace because of internal conflicts; he became the loser and was forced to flee for his Jade Void Palace.
Although that lineage has weakened again, the lineage of the Old Ancestor Xuantian has become stronger, and the lineage that was originally a middle faction has seized power in the Jade Void Palace.
Right now, the Jade Void Palace has sent out a powerful figure from the lineage that is detrimental to Old Ancestor Xuantian!
However, it's hard to say whether it's the Carefree Realm. In addition, there's another point: the Palace Master of the Jade Void Palace has some connection with that lineage.
The Palace Master of the Jade Void Palace is a cultivator at the Carefree Realm! This was clearly stated in the information provided by Luo Xue!
Each generation of the Jade Void Palace Master undergoes a succession process before taking office. Therefore, all the Palace Masters of the past were extremely powerful beings in the Free Carefree Realm Carefree Realm. Even those in the early stages of the Free and Unfettered Realm could kill those in the Late Carefree Realm with their numerous powerful supernatural abilities! It was incredibly overpowered!
Of course, Xiao Tian scoffed at this and wasn't afraid at all!
He just felt it was troublesome, too much trouble coming at once!
" Xiao Tian, you need to be prepared. Also, you need to be aware of the elder's physique. Based on the information on the surface, the Palace Master of the Jade Void Palace is hostile to you. Furthermore, you may possess a crucial ancient artifact."
"This ancient artifact was once owned by the previous Palace Master of the Jade Void Palace, and was secretly passed on to Elder Xuantian."
Xiao Tian was in a real bind. He had stumbled upon this ridiculous situation, but unfortunately, he was a fake. The so-called Old Ancestor Xuantian was just an identity he had made up himself.
"Thank you, beautiful Xue, I understand." Xiao Tian's expression hardened, and he murmured, "If Jade Void Palace really attacks, we can simply hide in the tomb. If they're not afraid of death, they can come with us."
Luo Xue frowned and said, " Xiao Tian, don't be too pessimistic. Biyou Palace won't ignore this matter."
Xiao Tian smiled inwardly; it was clear that Biyou Palace also coveted the ancient artifact he had pointed out.
