Chapter 51
He truly couldn't imagine,
if the other party really wanted to kill someone,
who could possibly withstand it?!
"Reporting to the Emperor, Officer Wei has sent news."
Just at this moment,
a figure hurried over.
"Oh? What did he say?"
Kangxi raised an eyebrow and asked,
his expression indifferent.
If it were before,
he might have had some enthusiasm,
but now,
after witnessing the shock brought by Ximen Wudi,
he no longer had much passion for the experts Wei Xiaobao could recruit.
After all,
having seen a True Dragon,
who could still take an earthworm in the mud seriously?!
"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the news sent back by Officer Wei, he has already made contact with the Divine Dragon Cult."
"Under his painstaking recruitment, the Cult Leader of the Divine Dragon Cult already has the intention to submit to Your Majesty."
"I believe it won't be long before Officer Wei can completely persuade them!"
The person who arrived replied word by word.
"Mm, I know."
Kangxi waved his hand, looking completely uninterested.
Great Qin, inside the Gathering Sands.
"What?!!"
"Master actually faked his death to escape?!"
"I remember he was clearly killed by me..."
Looking at the content on the Heavenly Dao Gold List,
Wei Zhuang was stunned.
Completely and utterly stunned.
His sharp-angled face was now as black as the bottom of a pot!
Before this,
he thought he had really finished off his master!
But now he realized,
so the clown was actually myself?!
Being fooled into a limp, yet still helping them count the money!
Thinking of this,
Wei Zhuang’s entire face turned bright red.
A terrifying aura erupted from his body.
That monstrous killing intent almost condensed into substance!!
But just thinking of the cultivation level of Guiguzi shown on the Heavenly Dao Gold List,
his pupils shrank fiercely, his face filled with wariness.
Mohist School, Mechanical City.
"Actually, even Guiguzi couldn't take that person’s sword strike?!"
Gao Jianli exclaimed,
almost scared out of his wits!
He truly found it hard to imagine,
just how terrifying Ximen Wudi is?!!
Before this,
even though he had been praised as god-like,
he never expected
that Guiguzi, this terrifying existence who had been famous in Great Qin for over a hundred years, wouldn't be able to take a single sword strike from the other party!
If it weren't for the fact that the information before his eyes was exposed by such a divine object as the Heavenly Dao Gold List,
even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't dare believe it!
Even seeing it with his own eyes now, he still felt it was somewhat absurd!
"It’s a pity that such a taboo existence is too far away from us."
"Otherwise, if we could persuade him to join the anti-Qin forces, even that tyrant would likely have a headache!"
Yan Dan, standing to the side, sighed deeply,
his face filled with unspeakable regret.
"Hoo~"
"Thirty years, a full thirty years!"
"I never expected that I, Guiguzi, would still have the opportunity to climb the path of martial arts again!"
Unknown mountain range.
Looking down at the Bone-Remolding Pill in his hand,
Guiguzi trembled with excitement, his face flushed.
In his tone, besides endless joy, there was also a trace of disbelief.
It seemed he was startled by this sudden Heavenly Dao reward and felt it was somewhat unreal.
With a complex expression, he looked up at the name of Ximen Wudi in the Gold List content.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to hate or be grateful!
Because of him, he had cultivated bitterly for thirty years, and his cultivation had made no progress to this day!
Even, if it weren't for the Heavenly Dao reward,
he might have had no hope of breaking through in this lifetime!
Let alone pursuing a higher realm!
But it was also because of him that he obtained the Bone-Remolding Pill.
Not only could he restore his foundation, but his bone quality and aptitude could even go a step further!
So much so that in the future, he might be able to walk a much longer path than his previous aptitude allowed!
Otherwise,
who knows if he would have obtained a pill like the Longevity Pill instead.
"Forget it, the top priority is to restore the foundation first!"
Guiguzi shook his head,
casting these thoughts aside.
He tilted his head back and swallowed the Bone-Remolding Pill.
Then he sat cross-legged and began to circulate his cultivation technique.
Azure Dragon Peak, Azure Dragon Villa.
"Is this Guiguzi so strong? He actually escaped from your hands?!"
Li Canghai asked with some surprise. ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
On her small face, the lingering charm of having played poker remained.
"He’s alright, I was just too lazy to chase."
Ximen Wudi replied lightly.
He took the tea served by Baoqin and took a small sip,
the expression on his face showing no waves.
That indifferent tone was as if he were talking about an ant.
In fact, that was exactly the case.
Back then, after being rejected by Guiguzi,
he had snapped off a peach branch not even as thick as a finger and casually struck a sword blow.
To be accurate, it should count as half a sword!
Because, before the peach branch even touched Guiguzi,
the other party was injured by the sword light, spat out a mouthful of old blood, and retreated explosively along the force.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, he used a secret technique and fled on the spot.
Otherwise,
if he had really taken that sword strike, he would definitely have died on the spot and met his end!
And seeing him flee so decisively,
although Ximen Wudi had countless ways to catch up to him,
he ultimately shook his head and dismissed the idea.
In his view,
although Guiguzi had avoided the vital points,
his sword intent was not so easily dispelled!
Once unable to dispel his sword intent for a long time, the injuries would not heal, and the result would be self-evident.
As such,
there was naturally no need to spend effort on a pursuit.
It was just that what he didn't expect was
that Guiguzi had such a long life.
Not only was he seriously injured, but he also used a secret technique that consumed his lifespan.
Even so, he still didn't die; this actually surprised him a little.
"So that’s how it is."
Li Canghai nodded, looking enlightened.
She believed his words with absolute faith.
Thinking again of how Guiguzi, because of his fear of the Azure Dragon Society’s pursuit,
had directly hidden his name and acted like a turtle, she immediately smiled.
She was amused by his self-frightening actions.
Clearly, the Great Dragon Head hadn't taken him seriously at all,
yet he had self-righteously thought he was so important...
For a moment,
besides being speechless, she felt more like laughing and crying.
After a good while,
she regained her calm.
Straightening her expression, she looked up, half-joking and half-serious.
"How did you feel about the gift I sent you before?"
Ximen Wudi was startled at these words.
The hand holding the cup paused slightly.
Subconsciously, he thought of Wang Yuyan and the other five women.
Come to think of it, although all six were born with peerless beauty and flower-like appearances,
their reactions at the time were each different.
Like Mu Wanqing’s fierceness; Zhong Ling’s innocence; Li Qinglu’s obedience; Wang Yuyan’s timidity; Azhu’s gentleness; Abi’s straightforwardness.
The taste of each, not to be shared with outsiders.
Thinking this way, a faint smile couldn't help but curl at the corner of Ximen Wudi’s mouth.
Capturing this scene,
Li Canghai not only didn't feel jealous, but instead felt relieved in her heart.
A flash of happiness appeared on her exquisite face.
Following that, as if thinking of something, she asked with some anticipation.
"I wonder when the Heavenly Dao Gold List will rank a Beauty List or a Hundred Flowers List or something like that."
"If that happens, I can sweep them all up and pack them all back for you."
Hearing this,
Ximen Wudi immediately had black lines all over his forehead.
The corners of his mouth twitched twice.
His expression was strange.
He almost blurted out "Good fellow."
Although the other party was doing this to please him,
he didn't know why, but he always felt something was a bit strange.
It was just that he couldn't say exactly what was strange for a moment.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he looked up toward the void.
The direction was none other than the Great Sui Dynasty!!
Time passed in a flash.
Another two days passed in a hurry.
With the appearance of the Longevity Scripture, plus Yang Guang’s deliberate indulgence,
at this moment, the Great Sui had already become a mess.
Countless forces were fighting for the Longevity Scripture,
in an attempt to be the first to enter the Yang Gong Treasure Vault!
Among them, the most intense fighting was between the Great Sui Righteous Path led by Cihang Jingzhai and the Great Sui Demonic Path led by Xiang Yutian.
Besides this,
the Four Great Clans and the major top sects and forces of the Nine Provinces were also participating in full swing.
The only thing that was puzzling was
that the forces sent by the three great dynasties of Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang had not made a single move to this day.
Looking at them,
it seemed they were not here for the Yang Gong Treasure Vault!
Inside the Imperial Palace.
Listening to the news reported by his subordinates,
infinite killing intent suddenly appeared on Yang Guang’s calm face.
He laughed coldly twice,
raised his hand to dismiss his subordinates,
and walked with long strides toward the depths of the Imperial Palace.
Passing through several secret passages,
after a good while,
he finally arrived in front of a mountain range that looked unremarkable.
Yang Guang stopped and tidied his clothes. ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
