Chapter 28

But as the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society.

As for this matter, others may not know, but he knows it very well.

Especially that poem—it's utter nonsense.

Clearly, Li Taibai saw Miss and was smitten by her beauty.

But because his behavior was too reckless, she harshly rejected him.

Yet in his poem, it became that she fell in love with him at first sight, even bold enough to want to drag him home to roll in the sheets.

His shameless self-admiration is evident from this.

However.

Facing Lv Xiucai's question.

Li Taibai didn't show the slightest embarrassment; instead, he smiled and nodded humbly.

"It's all just the kindness of fellow martial artists—don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

The words are true enough.

But right now.

Where was the slightest hint of humility on his face?

And Tong Xiangyu and the others became even more enthusiastic in their hospitality.

Time.

Flew by in laughter and merriment.

Evening.

As the twilight faded into the horizon.

On the roof of the Tongfu Inn.

Ximen Wudi, quietly listening to Jiang Yuyan's flute, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Why have you come down the mountain?"

Li Taibai, holding a wine gourd, teased with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Ximen Wudi gave him a side-eye.

He opened his mouth to ask his purpose.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something.

Unconsciously, he looked up toward the distant void.

Li Taibai and Jiang Yuyan, seeing this, quickly followed his gaze.

A few breaths later.

The Heavenly Dao Golden List suddenly blazed with Jin Guang.

That brilliant, dazzling light illuminated all of Jiuzhou in an instant.

Countless experts who sensed the commotion all looked up.

【Jiuzhou Combat Ceiling List—Rank 14: Xiang Yutian, Cultivation: Heavenly Being Realm, Early Stage.】

【Identity: Great Sui Demon Sect's Evil Emperor.】

【Xiang Yutian, as the leader of the Xieji Sect—one of the Two Factions and Six Paths of the Great Sui Demon Sect—is the disciple of Mo Yiming, the unparalleled genius of the Demon Sect.】

【He is also a Mi Person of the Mi Clan, having perfected the clan's ancestral Wu Gong, yet possessing unique transmissions, standing alone among the Mi Clan with heavenly talent and prodigious memory.】

【To break through the limitation of the Earthly Immortal, he once disguised himself as men, women, old, and young, refining his heart in the mortal world of Jiuzhou.】

【Perhaps it was fortune, or perhaps misfortune.】

【Thirty years ago, on a certain night, unable to sleep and tossing and turning, he put on his clothes and decided to take a stroll.】

【Who knew he happened to witness the Great Yuan Empire's Grand Master, the Heavenly Being Realm cultivator Ba Shiba, being dropped in realm by half a strike from the Qinglong Society's Great Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi—he was utterly stunned, and thus, the image of Ximen Wudi, godlike and demonic, was etched into his heart.】

【Ten years ago, during the critical moment of his breakthrough to the Heavenly Being Realm, he was suddenly invaded by a heart demon.】

【Facing the heart demon whose face was identical to Ximen Wudi's, he recalled that night's scene, terrified and shocked, he fell into demonic deviation, spat blood, suffered grave injuries, and collapsed unconscious.】

【Fortunately, heaven did not abandon him; because he passed out, he narrowly overcame the heart demon and broke through to the Heavenly Being Realm.】

【Heavenly Dao Evaluation: Unparalleled genius, peerless talent—if he defeats his heart demon, the Mythical Realm is attainable!】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Bodhi Pure Heart Pill (Effect: Suppresses Heart Demon).】

021—Zhu Yuyan rejoices, Fan Qinghui can't sit still! (Request flowers, request tips)

As the last character of the Heavenly Dao Golden List appeared.

Li Taibai withdrew his gaze and turned his head in shock.

His eyes filled with astonishment, he spoke.

"You scared him into demonic deviation?"

"How did this guy even reach this realm?"

With a cowardice like this.

He dares call himself the Evil Emperor of the Demon Sect.

How much water must have been mixed in?

'So it was him?'

Ximen Wudi's expression froze.

His mind involuntarily recalled that night thirty years ago.

After dropping Ba Shiba in realm with half a strike, he had indeed sensed Xiang Yutian watching from nearby.

But because the man's cultivation was far too weak,

He did not strike at him.

Unexpected.

This man was Xiang Yutian.

This truly surprised him.

He glanced at Jiang Yuyan, her eyes full of admiration.

He watched Li Taibai's expression, brimming with complaint.

Ximen Wudi wore a calm expression.

Although it was indeed exaggerated to claim he was frightened into a cultivation deviation.

But upon careful thought, it made sense.

Put yourself in his place.

If you had witnessed with your own eyes the realm you had pursued for years, the one you longed for but could never reach, being toppled by half a move.

You too would be stunned.

Even those with weaker wills.

Would likely suffer a collapse of their Dao heart, forever stagnating here!

Therefore.

Such a situation could be understood.

Thinking of this,

Ximen Wudi suddenly spoke out.

"Speak up—why did you come here specially to see me?"

Li Taibai froze.

Then he let out an awkward, embarrassed laugh.

"Um… isn't someone supposed to go to Wu Dang? Why not let me go?"

Huh?

Is the sun rising in the west today?

Ximen Wudi scrutinized him with suspicion.

Given this guy's nature.

In the past, whenever he needed to get him to do something, he'd flee at top speed.

Yet now, he had unexpectedly volunteered.

This was truly unbelievable!

He looked at him deeply.
