The Big Black Bull, Xuanlong, Tianxuzi, Biyou, and Kabuta astonished. Xiao Tian had presented the ' Hall of Judges ' plaque and actually received verbal protection from this Golden Body Realm expert.
"Thank you, sir!"
Xiao Tian, his face beaming with a smile and his eyes filled with awe, bowed to a piece of shimmering, ghostly-patterned wood floating low in front of him.
"You are very clever. I mean what I say and will protect you until you leave this city."
The mysterious entity, the Ghost Pattern Wood Block, was quite satisfied with the plaque that read " Hall of Judges."
It took the plaque, but the aura it exuded was still sensed by powerful beings nearby.
A blood-red broken sword shot out, aiming directly at the Golden Body Realm in the Ghost Pattern Wood Block.
"Act recklessly."
A chilling, eerie sound filled the air. The incoming blood-red broken sword, sharp yet restrained, pierced through space and was unmatched by anyone below the Dao Entry Realm. However, before the ghost-patterned wooden block, it instantly crumbled, turning into a drop of blood.
The power displayed by the ghost-patterned wood block terrified the several cultivators in the surrounding Dao Entry Realm, causing them to retreat and abandon their plans.
"So powerful!" The Big Black Bull was shocked. Its understanding of a powerful being at the Golden Body Realm level was very vague. It hadn't even seen how this powerful being made his move.
Suddenly, a hideous demonic face and gaping maw appeared on the ghost-patterned wooden block, swallowing the drop of blood essence in front of it whole.
"It tastes good..."
Kabuta spine, and couldn't help but feel envious of the Immortal in Wine, the Demon Spirit, and the little girl Yanyan who were hiding in the cave of the World-Chaos Demon Ape.
"The six of you will remain here. I will draw a circle using a secret technique. Remember, you must not step outside the circle, or your life or death will be in jeopardy."
A sinister and mocking voice echoed in the ears of Xiao Tian and his companions. Mysterious runes appeared one after another, like scribbled characters, linking together to form a circular shield that enveloped the area where Xiao Tian and the others were. Then the shield disappeared, and the runes on the ground also vanished.
Having done all that, the Ghost Pattern Wood Block became a hands-off manager and disappeared.
"How terrifying! Brother, how did you come up with the idea of giving that thing to this powerful being?" The Big Black Bull's expression was solemn. The ghost-patterned wooden block just now really gave it a sense of terror, as if it were walking on the edge of death.
Xiao Tian curled his lip and said, "After all, this is a powerful expert at the Golden Body Realm. The only valuable and ancient thing we have is the plaque."
"How stupid! ^..."
The old woman reappeared, standing ten meters away from Xiao Tian and the others, her eyes filled with resentment and dissatisfaction as she stared at Xiao Tian.
"Old woman, what are you doing? Come at me if you dare!"
The old woman scoffed, "You're foolish to miss such an opportunity and not even realize it. And you lot shouldn't be too happy yet. The aura of the Hall of Judges plaque has been sensed by many. Although it's Golden Body Realm, there's more than one in the city. I'll be waiting for you, old woman."
"That old woman has ill intentions; she's really creepy," the Big Black Bull frowned, feeling uneasy.
Xiao Tian is aware of the situation within the city. He deliberately offered up the ' Hall of Judges ' plaque, and he had his own reasons for doing so.
In the distance, the battle between the terrifying bull demon and the sword immortal ended as the sword immortal fled.
At this moment, a strange woman in white with long hair appeared like a ghost two meters Outside the Circle from Xiao Tian and the others. It was the place where the Golden Body Realm, Ghost Pattern Wood Block, had been.
The Xuanlong was terrified. Through its dragon eyes, it could only see clusters of terrifying black lines, filled with extreme negativity, and seemingly containing countless ghostly faces that appeared to be grinning maliciously because they sensed its gaze.
Xuanlong's mind was damaged, and he was extremely frightened.
Where did it go?
The woman in white murmured, and half of her blood-red vertical pupil appeared from her thick, black hair that covered her face, filled with eerie killing intent.
"Don't look into her eyes!" Big Black Bull nearly collapsed, his face filled with palpitations and covered in cold sweat.
Xiao Tian realized that he was being watched by the woman in white who had appeared. He pretended to be serious, but cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
"Where did it go...?"
The woman in white's tone gradually intensified, filled with resentment, which evoked pity.
Kabuta's eyes were glazed over, and he couldn't help but walk towards the Outside the Circle.
Xiao Tian kicked in time, knocking Kabuta down.
After falling flat on his face, Kabuta senses and looked at Xiao Tian with a puzzled expression.
Xuanlong stomped on Kabuta's thigh, making Kabuta grimace and look resentful, but he also understood what was going on and dared not utter a sound.
"Where did you go...?"
The woman in white spoke for the third time, seemingly losing patience. Tianxuzi, Biyou, Xuanlong, and Big Black Bull were all starting to lose control of their bodies, and poor Kabuta had bloodshot eyes, trying to crawl out of the circle.
Xiao Tian stomped on Kabuta's neck, and the astonishing force of his foot brought Kabuta back to his senses.
"It's not here; it was taken away by a piece of wood."
The white-clad woman's figure faded eerily, leaving behind a trail of gray mist that gradually disappeared.
The old woman sensed the situation, and her eyes turned cold.
"Young man, help this old woman find my grandson, and I'll give you a gift."
Xiao Tian was busy helping his teammates regain their composure. He turned and glanced at the strange old woman, saying irritably, "Why don't you go find someone else?"
The old woman's eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at Xiao Tian. Suddenly, her mouth split open wide, revealing a terrifying smile. Her entire face, covered in age spots and wrinkles, was squeezed together, making her eyes appear even more prominent and eerie.
"Young man, we are destined to meet."
"Then I'm sorry I'm not fortunate enough; you'd better find someone else." Xiao Tian could tell at a glance that this old woman was a wicked old hag, and he couldn't be bothered to deal with her any longer.
The old woman grinned maliciously, but her eyes remained fixed on Xiao Tian, and she didn't leave.
A few minutes later, a strange face tore through space and appeared three meters away from the circle where Xiao Tian and the others were.
The left side of this face has delicate, jade-like skin, a refined nose, and cherry-like lips, clearly indicating a beautiful woman. However, the right side is a completely asymmetrical, dark face, resembling a man's, with half of its lips being bluish-black and thin.
This face has no eyes; the empty eye sockets reveal nothing.
"Holy crap!" Kabuta exclaimed, indicating he was startled.
"So this is what the Golden Body Realm is all about?" Even with his exceptional skills and daring, Xiao Tian was speechless at the incredibly safe-looking face that appeared before him.
"Vomit!"
Even the Big Black Bull couldn't help but vomit at this moment; he felt very nauseous.
The eerie black-and-white face suddenly curled into a smile, and Xiao Tian couldn't help but raise his right arm, covering his right eye with his right hand, and sighed inwardly that just looking at that guy's left face, the smile was really beautiful.
Where is it?
The woman's voice was light and pleasant, without any eeriness, and sounded quite ordinary. However, Kabuta, Tianxuzi, Biyou, Big Black Bull, and Xuanlong felt their mouths move involuntarily.
"The ghost-patterned wood block has been taken."
The eerie black-and-white face, having obtained what it wanted to know, tore through space and vanished.
"Damn it! That circle that the Golden Body Realm created for us seems to be completely useless!" Kabuta's face turned pale.
Xiao Tian scoffed, "If you were useless, you would have died long ago."
Kabuta immediately shut up.
Then, more strange things appeared.
Xiao Tian was getting annoyed by the interruption, so he gave up the idea of continuing to play and followed the contact to check the location of the plaque for the Hall of Judges.
The ghost-patterned wooden block that obtained the plaque from the Hall of Judges returned to its lair. After setting up various complex Ghost Realm to shield itself from external perception and seal its aura, it finally produced the plaque.
The ghostly patterns shone brilliantly, and heavy breathing seemed to echo from within the cellar.
"When luck comes, there's no stopping it! The plaque in this Hall of Judges contains a fragment of the Netherworld Breathing Technique. If I can successfully replace it, I can escape this hellish place one day!"
boom!
Ghost-patterned Wood Block felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he had underestimated the scoundrels in the city.
"I need to hurry! The Ghost Realm can only hold me off for two days at most. After seven hours, those beings will disappear, and the Golden Body Realm in the city won't be able to cause me much harm."
"Not necessarily."
The ghost-patterned wooden block was greatly alarmed. Who had just spoken?
"It is I."
It couldn't help but look at the plaque of the Hall of Judges, its heart trembling.
