Xiong Xiu, I Have to Thank You
Li Yunjing directed the others to return the soil and properly bury the Immortal Burial Coffin.
Li Yunjing then sought out Jin Ruoxu.
"Senior Jin, this Immortal Burial Coffin is in your Jin Household's territory. From now on, I'll trouble your Jin Household to take good care of it."
"Don't let anyone touch this Immortal Burial Coffin, or there will be serious problems."
Jin Ruoxu was quite helpless; he had been handed such a hot potato.
However, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Once everything was complete, Li Yunjing left Jin Household Island and returned to the Luozhen Sect, entering the Grotto-Heaven within.
Back in his cave abode, Li Yunjing sat down to rest.
Judging by the time, tomorrow is the day to head to Black Wind Cliff, so Li Yunjing needs to conserve his energy.
But Li Yunjing had only sat down to rest for a short while when suddenly, a person walked out of the void in front of Li Yunjing.
The man was dressed in hemp clothing, had short hair, and wore straw sandals.
But as soon as he appeared, Li Yunjing's pupils contracted sharply.
He tried to move, but found his body was bound and he couldn't move at all, not even speak.
Moreover, Li Yunjing tried to communicate with the Five Spirits Lord, but found that he couldn't.
No matter how he tried to communicate, Five Spirits Lord did not reply.
After the man appeared, he sat down on his own.
He picked up the kettle and gulped down several mouthfuls of water, then let out a loud "ha!"
"Ah, that feels so good! I was so thirsty after traveling for so long!"
The man put down the kettle and looked at Li Yunjing.
When Li Yunjing saw the man looking at him, he asked directly, "Who are you?"
After saying that, Li Yunjing was surprised to find that he could speak.
"Huh, I can talk now?"
But that's not the point. The point is, what does this guy want to do?
Seeing Li Yunjing's extreme wariness, the man smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. I just wanted to thank you."
Li Yunjing was confused and thanked himself?
The man continued, "My name is Xiong Xiu. I used to be a member of Tianyuan. You should have heard of me."
Li Yunjing searched his memory carefully, then shook his head. "Sorry, I've never heard of it."
Upon seeing this, Xiong Xiu was immediately incredulous.
What? You've never heard of me?
Back in Tianyuan, I was the number one person in the Tianyuan Five Provinces, capable of kicking Celestial Venerable Suzhen and punching Dao Lord Liexiao!
After hearing this, Li Yunjing pondered to himself.
He did know Celestial Venerable Suzhen and Dao Lord Liexiao.
These two were people from ancient times.
Both of them had dominated the Tianyuan for a long time, and later both successfully ascended to immortality.
But Xiong Xiu actually said those words, kicked Celestial Venerable Suzhen, and punched Dao Lord Liexiao...
Li Yunjing was unaware of such a person.
"I don't know." Li Yunjing shook his head again.
Upon seeing this, Xiong Xiu immediately lost his nerve.
"I, Xiong Xiu, have been in the limelight for so long, yet even my name hasn't been passed down."
After a moment of sadness, Xiong Xiu asked, "Do you know about that old thief Su Zhen and that little thief Lie Xiao?"
Li Yunjing nodded, and then recounted a story about the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Xiu became even more sorrowful.
The names of those two have been passed down, but he failed, which is really infuriating.
Upon learning that the two had successfully taken off, Xiong Xiu became even more sorrowful.
"Damn it, neither of those guys could beat me, so why can they ascend while I'm stuck as Corpse Liberation Immortal, locked up in the lower realm!"
Li Yunjing heard Xiong Xiu's words clearly.
Upon hearing Xiong Xiu claim to be the Corpse Liberation Immortal, Li Yunjing's mind went blank.
He immediately thought of the Immortal Burial Coffin immortals.
Then Li Yunjing tentatively asked, "Senior, you didn't come here for the Immortal Burial Coffin, did you?"
Xiong Xiu snapped out of his daze and nodded, "That's right, you really came for that thing."
At the time, I felt I had enough foundation, so I triggered Immortal Tribulation in an attempt to become an immortal.
Unfortunately, something went wrong and it didn't work out.
I was powerless to trigger the second Immortal Tribulation.
But I was unwilling to die, so I used the method of the Corpse Liberation Immortal.
To protect my body, which was in a state of apparent death, I specially obtained a Living Sacrifice Stele, intending to preserve it.
Everything was going smoothly until this kid suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"You actually destroyed the Living Sacrifice Stele! My Immortal Burial Coffin allowed me to fake my death and escape, has been exposed!"
Xiong Xiu curiously sized up Li Yunjing, wanting to see what Li Yunjing was capable of.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything special about it.
"I sensed something was wrong and rushed back to Tianyuan. Luckily, you're a sensible kid and didn't do anything reckless."
"Were you not in Tianyuan before, senior?" Li Yunjing asked curiously.
"Hmm." Xiong Xiu nodded. "I'm tired of Tianyuan, so naturally I want to go and see other Dao Realm."
Li Yunjing wanted to ask Xiong Xiu which Dao Realm he had previously been in, and whether he could share the coordinates.
But after hesitating for a long time, I still didn't ask.
Xiong Xiu continued, "Kid, what's your name?"
"Replying to Senior, Li Yunjing." Li Yunjing replied respectfully.
"Li Yunjing... you are very sensible. You didn't destroy the Immortal Burial Coffin, which allowed me to continue to live."
I've managed to get through this ordeal.
This is like a second life to me. Tell me, what reward do you want?
Li Yunjing was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.
Surprisingly, Xiong Xiu is quite easy to talk to.
"Senior, I have no need for a reward," Li Yunjing said.
"You little brat, trying to play hard to get? Alright, I'm not a petty person, just say what you want."
"As long as it's not difficult for you, I'll give you whatever you want," Xiong Xiu said with a smile.
Li Yunjing thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if you could help me three times?"
If I encounter any problems that I cannot solve in the future, I hope that my senior can lend a hand.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Xiu chuckled a few times.
"Good lad, you're really cunning, trying to make me owe you this kind of favor!"
But I agreed, since you did me a huge favor.
After speaking, Xiong Xiu directly drew a talisman in the void.
The next moment, a Golden Light talisman appeared in front of Li Yunjing.
"If you need me in the future, just activate this talisman."
"I will definitely come as quickly as possible to lend you a hand," Xiong Xiu said.
Li Yunjing took the talisman and thanked Xiong Xiu with great joy.
Xiong Xiu waved his hand casually and then said, "No need to be polite, you deserve it."
However, there's something I'd like to ask you.
My coffin, the Immortal Burial Coffin, cannot be moved and can only remain buried in this place.
Judging from the situation at Azure Jiao Marsh, you've probably taken over this place.
So I want you to help me watch over the Immortal Burial Coffin Immortal Burial Coffin and make sure nothing happens to it.
Otherwise, I would really be dead.
Li Yunjing nodded. "Senior, rest assured, I will take good care of the Immortal Burial Coffin."
Xiong Xiu nodded. "Okay, I feel much more at ease knowing that."
After saying that, Xiong Xiu his hand, and Li Yunjing immediately felt that his body could move freely again.
Xiong Xiu directly tore open the void.
"I'm leaving, don't see me off."
Upon entering the void, Xiong Xiu vanished in the blink of an eye.
As the void rift closed, the Five Spirits Lord suddenly appeared.
"That was close, we almost got discovered."
Five Spirits Lord patted his chest, looking terrified.
Li Yunjing was puzzled. "Why are you so scared?"
"Young master, are you truly confused or just pretending?" asked Five Spirits Lord.
"That person is no pushover; he was probing your background as soon as he appeared."
Only after confirming that the young master was nothing special did he abandon his malice.
Senior Yuhua and I hid ourselves very well and were not discovered by him.
If he finds out, I'm afraid the young master will have to say goodbye to us.
