699: Let him escape, he's lucky.

Three days later.

In a small city in Fire Province.

Xie Weilou and Heartless had already reverted to their original appearances, and the two were eating noodles at a roadside stall.

"He escaped this time, it was his good fortune."

Heartless, dressed in a white monk's robe, slurped a mouthful of plain noodles.

Over the past three days, Xie Weilou and he had traversed hundreds of thousands of miles, relentlessly pursuing the Myriad Sword Holy Son, but unfortunately, the opponent still escaped.

Those Saints and Saintesses possess numerous treasures and have powerful Dao protectors backing them, making them extremely tenacious and difficult to kill.

However, this time they still severely injured the Myriad Sword Holy Son, forcing him to pay a huge price. In the short term, he should not show his face again.

It is unlikely they will see the Myriad Sword Holy Son during the trip to the Nine Nether Ice Cave.

"There's always tomorrow, no rush."

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently, slurped a mouthful of plain noodles, and then took out a piece of dried meat to chew.

Heartless quickly finished his plain noodles and mused, "Brother Xie, our targets are too prominent. Let's act separately for now! We'll meet again in Spirit City."

For the past three days, the two had cooperated in ambushing the Myriad Sword Holy Son, but he had always been wary of Xie Weilou, worried that this fellow might suddenly attack him. Fortunately, this fellow didn't act recklessly.

Even so, he was still very wary of Xie Weilou and felt that he couldn't travel with this fellow, otherwise, it would be easy to capsize.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "That's fine too."

"Brother Xie, farewell!"

Heartless stood up and, without any hesitation, flew away.

Xie Weilou looked at Heartless's retreating figure and chuckled, "This monk is wary of me."

A moment later.

A man dressed in a brocade robe and holding a folding fan walked over.

When he saw Xie Weilou, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes; he had found another person he couldn't see through.

This person was Fu Aniu.

During this period, he had encountered several unfathomable existences.

At this moment, he was even wondering, how many unfathomable existences were still hidden among the younger generation of the Eastern Barrens?

"Fellow Daoist, may I sit here?"

Fu Aniu asked, cupping his fists.

Xie Weilou looked up at Fu Aniu, his expression a little strange, then smiled and said, "Of course you can."

"Thank you!"

Fu Aniu then sat down next to him and ordered a bowl of noodles.

He looked at Xie Weilou and continued, cupping his fists, "My name is Fu Aniu. May I know Fellow Daoist's esteemed name?"

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "My name is Xie Weilou!"

"Xie... Xie Weilou?"

Fu Aniu looked at Xie Weilou in surprise.

Then he whispered, "Xie Wushi, Brother Xie? We visited a brothel together before, do you still remember?"

According to the news from the Myriad Sword Holy Land, Xie Weilou and Xie Wushi are one and the same person.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "A deep impression indeed! Brother Fu, you are from the Fu Clan, one of the Four Great Imperial Clans, aren't you?"

Fu Aniu said seriously, "Fu indeed comes from the Fu Clan, but I am merely a branch Disciple and have no reputation whatsoever."

"Is that so? I observe that Brother Fu's aura is restrained and unfathomable. I'm afraid you are an existence on the same level as those Saints."

Xie Weilou's smile did not diminish.

This Fu Aniu is extremely extraordinary, definitely an existence on the same level as the Longevity Holy Son and others.

Fu Aniu quickly waved his hand, "I wouldn't dare compare, wouldn't dare compare! I am a nobody, naturally not qualified to compare with them."

Buzz!

At this moment, this entire world was instantly suppressed by a mysterious force. The world became utterly silent, and an invisible pressure permeated the air, making people feel stifled.

A middle-aged man in a green robe, accompanied by ten mysterious figures in golden armor, flew over.

The middle-aged man's strength was unfathomable, and the ten mysterious figures in golden armor were Imperial Knights of the Kou Gong Realm from the Di Clan.

Di Feng, Di Zheng, and the Four Great Imperial Knights had died tragically, enraging the Di Clan, who then dispatched an Elder and ten Imperial Knights to investigate the matter.

The middle-aged man glanced around, his gaze falling on Xie Weilou and Fu Aniu, and a wave of pressure permeated the air, directly locking onto the two of them.

Fu Aniu stood up and cupped his fists towards the middle-aged man, saying, "My name is Fu Aniu, greetings, Senior Di Jue."

"Surname Fu? A junior from the Fu Family?"

Di Jue's face showed contemplation.

This young man has a divine light hidden within him, so he is not simple. He should be a junior from the Fu Family.

However, he had never seen this young man before, so the other party must be very low-key within the Fu Family.

Fu Aniu said earnestly, "Senior must be here to investigate the deaths of Di Feng, Di Zheng, and the Four Great Imperial Knights. However, this matter has nothing to do with us. The person who attacked was from the Jie Tian Sect. We were in Spirit City at the time and did not make a move. Many people saw it."

Di Jue looked at Fu Aniu, "Do you know anything about the person who attacked?"

Fu Aniu said, "The one who killed the Four Great Imperial Knights was Xu Renfeng. As for the other two, they wore masks and were difficult to see through, but they were brought by Xu Renfeng's sister, so they must also be from the Jie Tian Sect!"

"Xu Renfeng... quite a ruthless character."

Di Jue said indifferently, then flew away with the ten Imperial Knights.

After Di Jue and the others departed.

Fu Aniu looked at Xie Weilou meaningfully, "Before coming here, I heard that two ruthless individuals traversed hundreds of thousands of miles to pursue and kill the Myriad Sword Holy Son. Does Brother Xie know about this?"

Xie Weilou was a little surprised, "Such a thing happened? To be able to pursue and kill the Myriad Sword Holy Son, that's not simple. Could the person who attacked be a ruthless figure from some great sect?"

Fu Aniu didn't find anything amiss with Xie Weilou. He mused, "The person who attacked was indeed very mysterious. For someone to be able to pursue and kill the Myriad Sword Holy Son with his strength, they must be extremely extraordinary."

Xie Weilou asked, "Did the Myriad Sword Holy Son perish?"

Fu Aniu shook his head, "He escaped a calamity."

"That's a pity."

Xie Weilou sighed lightly.

Fu Aniu scrutinized Xie Weilou, "Brother Xie, you probably didn't join the Heroes Gathering Assembly, did you?"

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "I arrived a step too late, so I missed that grand event."

Fu Aniu smiled and said, "You missed the first assembly, but you can't miss the second. In a while, the favored children of heaven from various forces will go to explore the Nine Nether Ice Cave. Fu is very interested in that Secret Realm. May I invite Brother Xie to join me on the journey?"

This Xie Weilou is unfathomable. If he can cooperate with him, perhaps the journey to the Nine Nether Ice Cave will yield good results.

Xie Weilou looked at Fu Aniu in surprise, "Traveling with me, aren't you afraid of being targeted by the Myriad Sword Holy Land and the Longevity Holy Land?"

Fu Aniu gently waved his folding fan and said with a composed expression, "We Cultivators should be fearless! I ask you, among the favored children of heaven in the Eastern Barrens, and even those renowned powerful figures, who among them didn't fight their way out of countless troubles?"

Xie Weilou cupped his fists, "Brother Fu is quite open-minded. In that case, let's go explore the Nine Nether Ice Cave together."

"Good!"

Fu Aniu was all smiles. Having recruited an unfathomable individual, he now had some confidence.
