Yue Ji and Marquis Ming fell to the ground, their hearts filled with shock. The person in front of them was unbelievably strong. He seemed to have no cultivation, yet he'd actually already cultivated to the state of returning to simplicity.
With their strength, there were not many people who could defeat them in the martial arts world. However, the person in front of them could defeat them in a flash. It was really shocking and terrifying.
"Thank you for not killing me, Senior!"
"I failed to recognize you. Please forgive me for offending you just now!"
When they thought of this, Yue Ling and Marquis Ming suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully to Di Shitian. Although they were assassins, they were not ignorant people. After knowing that the other party was an existence that they could not resist, they naturally would not seek death.
"Get lost. Go back and tell Dark River that I'm going to Xueyue City. Don't disturb me on the way." Di Shitian waved his hand lightly, and a gale suddenly appeared, pushing the two of them five kilometers away. Right now, he only wanted to quietly recuperate and not cause trouble, so he let the two of them go.
As the largest assassin organization in Beili, the Dark River had assassins all over the Northern Territory. It was very powerful. Moreover, most of the assassination organizations in this world were related to the legendary forbidden area, the River Styx.
Once they were provoked, it was equivalent to stirring up a hornet's nest. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was willing to provoke them.
"Thank you for saving me, Senior!" Tang Lian was very happy when he saw Yue Ji and Marquis Ming leave in defeat. He immediately went forward to thank Di Shitian.
"Young Hero Tang, you don't have to be so polite. It's nothing." Di Shitian waved his hand as if he had just swatted a few mosquitoes.
"Senior… Xu, you're too amazing. Could it be that you're really an Immortal?" Lei Wujie ran over and sized up Di Shitian curiously as if he was looking at a monster. He had just entered the martial world and he had already seen such a godly method. The excitement in his heart was indescribable.
Originally, with his temperament, he did not care much about a title. However, the shock just now was too great, causing him to feel a sense of reverence. He didn't dare to address Di Shitian as big brother anymore.
"Senior, you defeated two grandmasters of the Carefree Realm in the blink of an eye. I'm really impressed!" Xiao Se looked at Di Shitian with an expression of admiration. As a disciple of the Baixiao Hall, he knew far more than ordinary people, so the shock in his heart was even greater.
The technique that Di Shitian had just displayed made him recall some legends that were endlessly far away. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he felt. It was only now that he understood why the other party was so arrogant, not putting the three Xueyue Immortals in his eyes at all.
If it was really as he had guessed, then the outcome of their bet was hard to say. After all, no matter how powerful the three Xueyue Immortals were, they were still not true Immortals.
...
The rest of the journey was indeed much quieter.
The news that Yue Ji and Marquis Ming had failed must have spread, scaring those people so much that they didn't dare to attack casually. The shock in the hearts of Xiao Se and the rest hadn't dissipated yet. They had more respect for Di Shitian and became much more silent along the way.
At this moment, they finally had a deeper understanding of the saying, "It's better to have a big tree behind you."
In particular, Tang Lian felt it the most. Along the way, he had been attacked countless times. Now that Di Shitian was with them, these killers didn't dare to show themselves. The pressure on him was suddenly reduced. Thus, he couldn't help but look at Di Shitian with gratitude.
"Tang Lian, do you know who's in the golden coffin?" Suddenly, Di Shitian asked. Along the way, he thought about many things and gradually had some plans for the future. As for Tang Lian, not only was he a heaven's favorite, he was also the chief disciple of Xueyue City. Of course, he was also part of his plan.
"What? There's someone in the coffin?" Before Tang Lian could speak, Lei Wujie could not help but ask.
"Of course, the person lying in this coffin is a young monk who is only a few years older than you." Di Shitian said with a smile.
"You can see the person in the coffin?" Tang Lian was shocked when he heard this.
This time, when he came to escort the golden coffin, it could be considered a very secret mission. Even he didn't know the specific contents, he didn't expect Di Shitian to see through it.
"What's so difficult about that? In this world, no matter how thick a coffin is, it can't block the consciousness of an immortal." Di Shitian smiled proudly. Under the observation of his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, Monk Wuxin in the coffin was taking a nap. Moreover, the person who saved him should appear soon.
"Senior, please keep it a secret. Otherwise, I'm afraid my job will be ruined." Tang Lian's expression changed as he hurriedly bowed and begged. In his opinion, although Di Shitian was arrogant, he was indeed very capable and worthy of his respect. In order to ensure the successful completion of the mission, he had to befriend such an expert.
"Haha, I'm afraid your job has already gone down the drain." Di Shitian stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the dense forest in front of him. A mysterious light flashed in his eyes.
"Senior, did you discover the enemy?" Tang Lian's heart shook, and he immediately put up his guard.
"Hahaha, I thought I was already very careful, but I didn't expect you to discover me in the end." Suddenly, a cold laugh came from the dense forest, causing the surrounding leaves to fall.
Looking up, he saw a white-haired, middle-aged man riding the wind. In an instant, he crossed a thousand feet of space and landed steadily on the golden coffin. He stood proudly on top of the coffin. His white hair fluttered even though there was no wind. His aura was like a rainbow, revealing his extraordinary cultivation.
White-haired Immortal! He was an elder of the Beyond Avalon Demon Cult, and his cultivation was at the half-step Wanderer Realm. He was considered one of the rare powerhouses in the world.
Half-step Wanderer Realm had already begun to come into contact with the Dao of Primordial Spirit. He could be considered a half-step Land Immortal. Such a person had already broken through the limits of martial arts. It was difficult to be his enemy unless one was at the same level as him.
When Tang Lian and the others saw this, they all tensed up, ready to fight at any time. However, there was only Di Shitian in the eyes of the white-haired immortal.
He stared fixedly at Di Shitian, and his pupils shrunk to the size of needles. However, he realized that he still couldn't see through the person in front of him, and his heart sank continuously.
His appearance this time was really a little rash. The fact that this person could discover him from a thousand feet away proved that this person's extraordinary perception. Now that he was so close, he could not see through the other party at all. It was really shocking.
In such a situation, either the other party did not have any cultivation, or the other party's cultivation far exceeded his. How could a person with such powerful perception be a mortal without cultivation?
"Mo Qixuan from Beyond Avalon greets Senior!" The white-haired immortal suppressed the shock in his heart and cupped his fists respectfully.
"White-haired brat, you're too early. With me here, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete this mission." Di Shitian crossed his arms and said with a faint smile.
"Senior, since you know about my mission, you should understand my difficulties. If you're willing to watch from the sidelines, Beyond Avalon will definitely repay you generously in the future." The white-haired immortal pleaded solemnly.
