891: Long time no see, the ninth in the world
Xie Weilou sneered, "Before, This Xie was just going to buy some pastries, but unexpectedly, I inexplicably fainted. Do you dare to say that This Xie fainting wasn't your doing?"
Wang the Celestial Being raised an eyebrow: "Faint? What does that have to do with me?"
Xie Weilou said angrily, "The piece of bronze you gave me is a filthy thing. You old Daoist deliberately set me up because you wanted to monopolize those girls and enjoy them all by yourself."
He sneered again, "For the next few days, This Xie had nightmares every night, dreaming of biting on coffin lids and being sealed inside a strange coffin. Do you dare to say that all of this has nothing to do with that piece of bronze?"
"Having nightmares?"
Upon hearing this, Wang the Celestial Being couldn't help but reveal a hearty smile.
It's right that he's having nightmares!
When he first obtained that item, he was also constantly having nightmares. After being tricked by Xie Weilou earlier, his heart felt much more balanced now.
Xie Weilou said with a darkened face, "This Xie's health is already poor, suffering from kidney deficiency and physical weakness. I sincerely befriended you, yet you tried to harm my life. That is truly hateful. Today, you must give This Xie an explanation, or don't blame This Xie for being impolite."
"Impolite? You brat are full of malicious schemes, deliberately twisting right and wrong, and crying wolf first. This old Daoist wants to see how you intend to be impolite."
Wang the Celestial Being glanced at Xie Weilou.
This brat tricked him. If he doesn't cough up thousands or tens of thousands of silver taels, this matter will not end well.
Ding-a-ling!
Just then, a crisp sound of bells rang out.
On the street, a mysterious woman appeared, dressed in a black skirt, with a head full of white hair, and wearing a bronze mask.
She led a black donkey. The donkey held its head high, its narrow eyes showing arrogance, and the bronze bell on its neck continuously jingled.
"Hmm?"
Wang the Celestial Being's pupils contracted, and his body immediately tensed up. The Dao Sword on his back vibrated incessantly, as if it were about to be unsheathed.
He stared intently at the Woman in Black Dress, his expression extremely solemn, as if he had encountered a lifelong nemesis.
"..."
The Woman in Black Dress led the black donkey over.
The black donkey glanced at Xie Weilou, a hint of disdain appearing in its eyes, as if it had already recognized Xie Weilou.
The Woman in Black Dress ignored Wang the Celestial Being and looked at Xie Weilou: "In a short time, you seem to have made a huge improvement."
She could not see through Xie Weilou's disguise, but her donkey was extraordinary and could sense the other party's aura.
Xie Weilou smiled and cupped his fists, "Miss Liu, long time no see. You are as peerlessly beautiful as ever."
The Woman in Black Dress before him was none other than the ninth under heaven, Liu Xiahui, whom he had met in the Barren Desert!
He hadn't expected to meet her here.
This woman's cultivation was unfathomable; he could not see through it at all.
"This brat..."
Wang the Celestial Being was extremely shocked. This brat actually knows the ninth under heaven?
Furthermore, he calls the ninth under heaven "Miss Liu"?
Doesn't he know that the woman before him has lived for countless years? In terms of age, she is even older than him, the Eastern Wasteland's ninth!
This brat's background seems somewhat unfathomable.
Liu Xiahui smiled lightly, "You have reached the Eastern Wasteland. Have you found the girl you favor?"
Earlier in the Barren Desert, Xie Weilou had mentioned that he had an agreement with a girl to come and touch her beautiful legs. She wondered if he had achieved his wish.
Xie Weilou smiled and said, "I have found her, but her background is Heaven-Defying. This Xie is merely a young man who possesses nothing, so I feel a bit inferior."
"Hiss! Hiss!"
The black donkey let out a strange cry, as if mocking Xie Weilou.
"..."
Liu Xiahui gave a wry smile. She certainly wouldn't believe Xie Weilou's talk of inferiority. A Disciple of Spring Autumn Cicada must be a lawless person.
Xie Weilou asked, "May I ask why Miss Liu has come to Central State this time?"
Liu Xiahui said, "I plan to visit the Immortal Tomb, and I happened to be passing through here. If you encounter any trouble here, I can resolve it for you easily."
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at the City in the Sky above.
The implication was that even if Xie Weilou encountered trouble from above, she could step in and resolve it.
Xie Weilou said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Liu, but This Xie has not encountered any trouble! Since we have met by fate, how about we find a place for a drink?"
Liu Xiahui shook her head: "I still have something to take care of right now. Next time."
Saying that, she led the donkey forward, and in the blink of an eye, both the donkey and she vanished into the crowd.
"..."
Seeing this, Wang the Celestial Being immediately followed.
His purpose for leaving the Heaven Mending Sect this time was to accomplish two things.
The first thing was to spar with this so-called ninth under heaven.
The second thing was to enter the Immortal Tomb and fight for a slim chance of survival.
Now that he had met the ninth under heaven here, he couldn't miss this opportunity.
Xie Weilou seemed to know what Wang the Celestial Being was thinking, and he muttered, "The Eastern Wasteland's ninth and the ninth under heaven, who is stronger?"
Boom!
Just as he was pondering, the ground suddenly began to shake, and a cavalry troop clad in black armor appeared, causing the people on the street to quickly make way.
Among the cavalry, there was a black carriage, and a Mysterious Person sat inside it.
"I heard that Marquis Zhenyu just quelled the Taihuang rebellion. He must be returning to the Imperial Dynasty."
The surrounding people looked at the cavalry ahead with reverence. This troop was the Zhenyu Iron Cavalry.
And the person in that carriage was Marquis Zhenyu, one of the Four Marquises of the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty.
"Marquis Zhenyu?"
Xie Weilou scrutinized the black carriage. No wonder Marquis Zhenyu hadn't appeared when he killed someone in front of the Town Domain Marquis's Residence earlier; he had been away.
The Zhenyu Iron Cavalry marched toward Xie Weilou. When they were ten meters away from him, they instantly stopped, and a chilling Killing Intent permeated the air, locking onto Xie Weilou.
Cold Killing Intent flickered in the eyes of the cavalrymen; they seemed intent on crushing Xie Weilou with their sheer imposing aura.
"Why do you not kneel when you see the Zhenyu Iron Cavalry?"
A General among the Zhenyu Iron Cavalry stared fiercely at Xie Weilou, his long sword suddenly leaving its sheath. A Creation Realm might permeated the air, brimming with Killing Intent.
Xie Weilou smiled indifferently, "When you see This Xie, why do you not kneel?"
"Impudence!"
The General's aura completely erupted, and a fierce Sword Qi surged toward Xie Weilou, like a massive wave, carrying terrifying might.
Xie Weilou stood motionless where he was. He looked at the General and said faintly, "This Xie has killed a Creation Realm expert before, someone named General. If you also wish to die, This Xie can grant your wish."
"..."
The General's face darkened.
"Sheathe your sword!"
From within the carriage, an indifferent voice rang out.
"Understood!"
The General immediately sheathed his long sword.
A middle-aged man dressed in a black robe stepped out of the carriage. There was a black scale on the back of his hand. His aura was restrained, making him seem unfathomable.
This person was none other than Marquis Zhenyu!
"..."
Xie Weilou looked at the back of Marquis Zhenyu's hand, his eyes narrowing. A black scale?
The shape of this scale was the same as the azure scale in the Twin Sons' memory, but it wasn't azure.
Marquis Zhenyu looked at Xie Weilou and said faintly, "Are you the teacher from Hongru Academy, Xie Changan?"
