After Xiongba's death,
Jiang Li and the others lost their interest in continuing.
After teaching Wuming a lesson, the group left.
However, halfway there, Jiang Li suddenly stopped.
"You've followed us twice. I let it slide last time, but you're pushing your luck!"
"Do I have to invite you out, or will you come out yourself?"
Jiang Li's words startled Huang Rong and the others. Someone was following them, and they hadn't noticed.
He discovered me!
The one tailing Jiang Li and the others was naturally Dishitian.
Xiongba had hastily departed Tianxia Hui with the Heavenly Pool Twelve Fiends, intending to kill Cloud. How could Dishitian not come to protect Cloud?
Unexpectedly, he encountered the same group of mysterious individuals who had previously appeared at Tianxia Hui.
That group, originally hired by Xiongba, had instead aided Nie Feng and Cloud in killing Xiongba.
As someone who styled himself a god, how could he not be curious about the sudden appearance of such experts in the martial world? Thus, he followed them discreetly, intending to find out the origins of this group, that had managed to evade the intelligence network of Tianmen!
He needed to slay the dragon, but he wouldn't dare to act without understanding the background of these mysterious experts.
"Who is it, Jiang Li gege? So bold as to follow us, and only you noticed. Could it be Laughing Three Times?"
In Huang Rong's view, the only person who could track them and be detected only by Jiang Li, in the world of Wind and Cloud, was the previously encountered Laughing Three Times.
Even Jian Sheng Dugu didn't possess such strength.
They had to remember that besides Jiang Li, there was also Long Bo.
Jiang Li laughed, "Have you forgotten what I told you before, about that old monster who lived for over two thousand years and was almost killed by Wu Wudi?"
"He's still alive!"
"It was him, secretly hiding within the Tianxia Hui, poisoning Xiongba and preventing him from improving his cultivation. He even stopped Xiongba from mastering the Diamond Glass Body Technique!"
"If it weren't for him, Xiongba would have already succeeded in changing his fate!"
"Wouldn't you agree, Emperor Shi Tian?"
Huang Rong and the others were stunned upon hearing this. They finally understood that this was the real reason why Xiongba was destined to fail, no matter what.
So, behind Nie Feng and Cloud, there was an old monster, someone who had lived for over two thousand years, helping them!
"Who exactly are you?"
Emperor Shi Tian emerged from the shadows, filled with doubt.
After Jiang Li had revealed so much, he knew Jiang Li wasn't bluffing. He genuinely knew everything about him.
"You're the one who has lived for over two thousand years, yet you were almost killed by Wu Wudi? What a waste!"
Emperor Shi Tian wore an ice-carved mask, appearing very mysterious.
Huang Rong, that mischievous girl, couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw him.
Two thousand years of life, yet he was defeated by someone who had only lived for a few decades. He had to run and hide. Those two thousand years had been a complete waste.
The key was that they had met Laughing Three Times.
Laughing Three Times only lived two thousand years longer than Emperor Shi Tian, but in terms of skill, he wasn't just twice as strong.
The difference between the two was, in fact, like heaven and earth.
Under his mask, Emperor Shi Tian's face immediately darkened.
He had lived for more than two thousand years, and the only time he suffered such a huge loss was at the hands of Wu Wudi, forcing him to use his immortal lifespan to wear Wu Wudi down.
Huang Rong's unrestrained mockery filled him with anger.
However, ever cautious, he didn't explode on the spot!
Jiang Li and his group were too mysterious to him.
But earlier, at Baijian Mountain Villa, he had personally seen Jiang Li descend from the sky, clearly not an ordinary person.
"Esteemed guests, I harbor no ill will. If you have no further business, I shall take my leave!"
Dishitian didn't seem to want a fight.
He wasn't confident he could win if they actually fought.
He could find out where these people came from later. There was no need to take a risk right now.
"Want to leave? Leave your Phoenix Blood behind first!"
Jiang Li smiled slightly.
Since they'd met, there was no way Dishitian would leave without giving something up. It was the price for following him twice.
"You... you want my Phoenix Blood?"
Dishitian's expression changed.
He didn't want a fight, but that didn't mean the other party would let him go.
After all, the other party wasn't wrong. He had indeed followed him twice. Anyone would be annoyed.
"It seems you're not very willing to give it up!"
As Jiang Li spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and an invisible giant hand slammed down on Emperor Shi Tian.
Emperor Shi Tian didn't even realize where the attack had come from before he was slammed into the ground, spitting out blood.
What a terrifying expert! I didn't even know how he attacked!
Terrified, he immediately raised his hands in surrender.
It was too terrifying!
That young man was actually so terrifying.
With two thousand years of cultivation, he didn't even have the qualifications to fight back.
If the other party wanted to kill him, he'd probably already be dead!
"Take a bottle of Phoenix Blood, and then get out!"
Jiang Li had no intention of killing Emperor Shi Tian.
"Thank you for sparing my life!"
Emperor Shi Tian took an entire bottle of Phoenix Blood. Hearing Jiang Li's words, he was as if pardoned, turning his head and fleeing!
"Let's go, let's have a meal together, and then we'll all go our separate ways!"
The group continued on their journey, heading towards the nearest large city.
Swallowing Worlds.
Boom!
The instant Jiang Li returned, the underground secret chamber of Jiangnan Pavilion shook violently, and turbulent air currents began to rage! The comprehension and gains Jiang Li had in the world of Fengyun immediately triggered the space, causing his mental power and primal energy to surge.
"Hoo!"
"So this is the life level of a Planetary Level being?"
Jiang Li sighed softly, slowly extending his palm and looking down at it.
His palm was like a flawless piece of jade, with a faint golden glow flowing over it… Not just his palm, but from his arms to his shoulders, chest, abdomen, head, and even his limbs, bones, and internal organs.
Every cell seemed to possess surging power.
He rose slowly, and with each step, it was as if he didn't need any external force, but instead, relied solely on his body to traverse the world as if it were nothing.
Jiang Li gently clenched his fist, feeling the boundless, vast power within him, like a great river flowing into the sea.
He even had the feeling that he could shatter the planet with a single punch.
Of course.
Jiang Li knew this was just an illusion born from the sudden surge of power. Planetary Level experts weren't yet capable of destroying planets.
It was evening.
"Jiang Li, Jiang Li!"
Yang Hui arrived outside the courtyard of Jiangnan Pavilion, followed by a woman in a black uniform.
"Teacher Yang?"
Jiang Li walked out of the house and opened the courtyard gate.
"Jiang Li, you seem a little different?"
Yang Hui noticed the change in Jiang Li immediately.
If the previous Jiang Li was sunny and handsome, with a warm, boy-next-door vibe, the current Jiang Li was more restrained. Besides his continued good looks, his aura seemed somewhat blurred.
"A slight improvement."
Jiang Li smiled slightly. "Have Senior Brother Shi Jiang and Senior Sister Zhao Ruo returned yet?"
