Chapter 1150

Slowly, the earlier stretch of desert reappeared, along with a mountain peak suspended high in the air, radiating divine radiance!

"This is……"

Hearing Ying Zheng and Hearing Gai Nie, their souls barely settled, exchanged a glance, feeling both shock and joy.

929 Let that old man Gu come and confront me!

Qinglong Society!

Qinglong Peak!

In all the world beneath the Nine Provinces, what peak could radiate such divine radiance and yet hang suspended in the high air? Apart from the legendary Qinglong Peak, what other could there be?

"Senior, you are……"

Suddenly meeting someone who appeared to be from the Qinglong Society, someone who could disperse his Hundred-Step Flying Sword with a single finger.

Someone who could even point out the move he had hidden, as well as the direction of his future advancement.

Such a godlike figure—even Gai Nie, proud as he was, could not help but use honorific speech.

"If my guess is not wrong, you must be one of the Qinglong Society's guest ministers, Mr. Xu, Di Shitian?"

It was Hearing Ying Zheng who, in the first instant, based on the relevant intelligence, deduced the identity of the person before them.

The one who had come was none other than Di Shitian!

Only, compared to his identity as a guest minister of the Qinglong Society, he cared more about another one.

Seeing Gai Nie's reverence, and Hearing Ying Zheng referring to himself as "I," Di Shitian was also somewhat pleased, and replied,

"Correct! I am Di Shitian, the servant of the Great Dragon Head!"

The Qinglong Society's guest ministers included Wu Wudi, Xiao Aoshi, Xiao Jingtian, the Water God Ancestor, and a whole series of extraordinary figures.

Added to that, Xiao Sanxiao and the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen were also suspected to have already become guest ministers.

In truth, Di Shitian preferred even more the title of servant of the Great Dragon Head!

After all, beneath the heavens, it seemed that he was the one and only person whom the Great Dragon Head had personally visited and taken in as a servant.

Although "servant" did not sound pleasant, one still had to see whose servant it was, didn't one?

Hearing Ying Zheng and Hearing Gai Nie, hearing that the one who had come truly was Di Shitian, first heaved a sigh of relief.

But upon hearing Di Shitian call himself a servant, they instinctively found it somewhat amusing.

In the next instant, they realized!

The Great Dragon Head's servant!

That servant was not too low-ranking at all!

"So Mr. Xu is here in person. Hearing Ying Zheng pays his respects to Mr. Xu."

Although Di Shitian styled himself a servant, Hearing Ying Zheng did not dare be careless in the slightest; he still observed propriety with great respect, addressing him as Mr. Xu and taking the initiative to greet him.

Gai Nie naturally did not dare slight him either, and immediately followed suit in paying respects.

He actually wanted to ask what qualification Di Shitian had just mentioned.

But at this moment, those suspected Lu Li Tribe green-skinned people had appeared in the world, so this question was clearly not convenient to ask.

"Xu……"

Just as they were paying respects here, the green-skinned elder over there, who had been on the high platform continuously giving speeches to boost the green-skinned people's morale, now also reacted.

He glanced at Di Shitian, and was about to call him by name directly.

Di Shitian's mind stirred, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

Sacred Heart Art · Startling Gaze Tribulation!

An invisible, formless force instantly pierced through space and projected directly onto that elder.

Although that elder's hair and beard were all white, his build was even taller and sturdier than that of an ordinary green-skinned person.

He did not expect Di Shitian's Startling Gaze Tribulation to suddenly attack; his whole body trembled, and he instantly felt his head splitting with pain, as if his heart were about to explode.

"Hmph……"

The elder gave a muffled groan, suddenly grabbed a bone ornament on his body, and was about to counterattack.

Unexpectedly, Di Shitian withdrew the power of the Startling Gaze Tribulation, and merely said lightly,

"Boy, even your dead teacher, Old Man Gu, would not dare be so rude before me.

If you don't believe it, feel free to crush that spirit-communication talisman and let Old Man Gu come confront me!"

Di Shitian's tone was wildly arrogant, yet that elder, upon hearing Di Shitian's words, did not deny it.

He merely stood on the distant high platform, sweat pouring down like rain.

He tightly gripped the bone spirit-communication talisman in his arms, hesitated for a long time, and never crushed it.

"Mr. Xu, do you know these people of the Lu Li Tribe?"

Seeing that even the green-skinned leader did not dare talk back to Di Shitian, and that Di Shitian seemed to know even higher-ups,

for a moment Hearing Ying Zheng could no longer hold back, and asked Di Shitian in a low voice.

"Hehe! Lu Li Tribe?"

Di Shitian glanced at Hearing Ying Zheng, then looked again at the green-skinned army that had already surrounded the Shadow Guard and was about to massacre them all.

He smiled playfully, neither affirming nor denying, and said,

"Qin Huang, you heard what I just said as well.

This time, it is both a calamity for your Great Qin and an opportunity for your Great Qin.

Whether it is a calamity or a fate, it depends on how you seize it.

Farewell!"

Mysterious and cryptic, after saying these words, Di Shitian cast a deep look at Gai Nie, his form flashed, and he had already vanished.

If not for the divine peak high in the distant sky, suspected to be Qinglong Peak, still being there, Hearing Ying Zheng and Hearing Gai Nie would have been wondering whether Di Shitian had ever come at all!

After thinking it over, Hearing Ying Zheng still couldn't fathom the meaning of Seeing Di Shitian's words.

Hearing Gai Nie, however, didn't think so much. He simply pointed at the few Shadow Guard agents in the distance and said,

"Your Majesty, the Shadow Guards have fought long and hard, cut off and without reinforcements.

If this goes on any longer, I'm afraid they'll all perish.

I beg to go now and rescue these brothers of the Shadow Guards."

In fact, Hearing Gai Nie's current identity was not the Chief Swordsman of the Great Qin court.

On the contrary, he was Great Qin's number one wanted criminal.

It was just that in his agitation, he unconsciously forgot his own identity and spoke to Hearing Ying Zheng using the manner of address he had used when he was in the court.

Hearing Ying Zheng finally came to his senses at this point, seeing that the Shadow Guards were already piled in dead and wounded, with only a few squads holding on under Hearing Zhang Han's bitter command.

If left unattended, in perhaps half an incense stick's time, the Shadow Guards including Hearing Zhang Han would all perish here.

Sending Hearing Gai Nie, or even going himself to rescue, might save some of the Shadow Guards.

But Hearing Ying Zheng always felt that Seeing Di Shitian's profound and unfathomable words just now carried some hidden meaning.

Suddenly he recalled that before the seal was lifted, the ones who had been fighting the Shadow Guards all along were people from Despair Shanzhuang.

He himself had also been held aloft by Cheng Jiao using the Ten Thousand Ages Long Huang Art.

After the seal was lifted, he had led the Shadow Guards through the clouds and mist to this nameless mountain valley.

Upon suddenly seeing this fierce, menacing army of green-skinned men, he had, without thinking, thrown the Shadow Guards into them to resist.

But from beginning to end, it was the Shadow Guards fighting the green-skinned army.

The people from Despair Shanzhuang led by Cheng Jiao had not shown themselves at all.

"Not right! Hearing Gai Nie, have you seen Cheng Jiao and the others?"

With startling intuition, Hearing Ying Zheng felt that what Seeing Di Shitian had said was definitely not so simple.

Although this green-skinned army was fierce and menacing, and their numbers were not few,

they were thick and clumsy, charging without any formation, and showed no coordination in their advance.

Most critically, they had nothing resembling coordinated arms among their troop types.

So much so that against the Shadow Guards, they merely surrounded them in a ring and attacked wildly and blindly.

If this were the Qin Army instead, with shield-bearers and halberdiers encircling, crossbowmen picking off targets from afar, and experts in the army holding the line,

in less than one incense stick's time, the Shadow Guards would all be finished.

This green-skinned army looked grand and imposing, but in reality was not even as good as an ordinary Qin Army.

To rely on such an army to bring catastrophe upon Great Qin was truly a fool's dream.

But whether it was Shang Yang and the others' deductions and divinations, or Seeing Di Shitian's mystical words just now, they clearly all indicated that this green-skinned army was not simple.
