232: Another saint?

At this moment, the burly figure shrouded in light and shadow slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi.

Although his face was blurry, the gentle and approving look in his eyes was clearly conveyed.

"Not bad."

A deep, slightly hoarse voice sounded.

"Calm in the face of danger, with a solid Foundation."

However, when his gaze inadvertently swept over Wang Xiaopang, who was hiding behind Xiao Ruobai with a complex expression and wandering eyes, Shi Wanshan's heart suddenly skipped a beat!

"Oh no!"

He secretly cried out that something was amiss.

"I was so busy showing off... no, I was so busy demonstrating my powerful strength to deter the villains that I forgot about this Little Fatty!

Look at his eyes... shifty, with a hint of grievance and lingering fear... Could he have recognized that I was that... uh... passerby who 'borrowed' some resources from him back then?!"

Shi Wanshan immediately felt a bit guilty.

Although he was uninhibited in his actions, if his Junior Martial Nephew found out that he had once stripped the Little Fatty bare, where would he put his old face?

Especially the "tall and mighty" protector image he had just established in front of the younger generation, wouldn't it instantly collapse?

He quickly cleared his throat, forcefully suppressing that trace of unnaturalness, and his gaze swiftly moved away from Wang Xiaopang, becoming profound and majestic again, as if that momentary pause had just been an illusion.

He said in a deep voice, "The crisis is temporarily resolved, but you all still need to be cautious and not careless."

But in his heart, he secretly muttered, "This kid... he shouldn't have recognized me, right? Yes, he definitely didn't recognize me!

With a Saint's prestige, how could a mere Cave Heaven Realm Cultivator see through my disguise? Hmm, it must be so!"

At this moment, in the Netherworld Hall's Eastern Domain Branch, Elder Ying saw this scene through his Incarnation's perspective, and his mind instantly cleared.

"Interesting... there really is a Saint protecting them, and a Saint with such vigorous Qi and blood."

He gently rubbed his forehead, as if weighing his options.

"Those idiots from Glazed Holy Land probably kicked an iron plate this time... However, this is a good Opportunity, saving this seat a lot of trouble."

"Attacking now to assassinate will both show Glazed Holy Land that my Netherworld Hall has fulfilled its promise, and allow me to legitimately lose to this mysterious Saint, logically withdrawing from the battlefield and perfectly completing the mission!"

A faint light flashed in his eyes, and he sat up straight, an invisible Aura spreading out.

"Since this person's strength is so powerful, then the act must be performed more realistically."

With a thought, the Incarnation far away in the valley immediately received the command.

The Void Realm above the valley rippled silently like water, and a blurred, ethereal figure, completely shrouded in pure Death Qi, appeared without warning!

It was precisely the Elementary Saint-Grade Incarnation sent by Elder Ying!

Its timing was extremely cunning, appearing precisely at the moment Shi Wanshan looked at Xiao Ruobai and the others, his mind slightly relaxed after just slaying a powerful enemy!

"The Netherworld Hall acts, all who block shall be killed!"

The Incarnation issued a cold, emotionless declaration, and a short blade flowing with black Death Qi in its hand transformed into a dark stream of light that tore at the Divine Soul, heading straight for the few people protected in the back!

This strike was vicious, swift, and intended to kill!

"Courting death!"

Shi Wanshan was enraged! He had just killed someone, and his Aura was at its peak, how could he allow others to commit murder in front of him?

He didn't even have time to fully turn around, and with a backhand, he punched out!

The vast power of Qi and blood transformed into a condensed crimson fist Aura, arriving later but striking first, fiercely colliding with that dark stream of light!

"Boom!"

The fist Aura and the short blade collided, producing a deafening explosion! Death Qi and scorching Qi waves furiously intertwined and annihilated each other!

The netherworld incarnation's body trembled violently, spitting out blood, and it was sent flying backward, clearly far inferior to Shi Wanshan in a pure power struggle.

But its movement technique was strange, as if it had no physical form, flickering several times in the Void Realm, it defused most of the impact, holding the short blade, it coldly confronted Shi Wanshan.

"Scum of the Netherworld Hall! You're like a lingering ghost!"

Shi Wanshan took a step forward, his burly body exuding a violent Aura like a primordial Vicious Beast, locking onto the netherworld incarnation.

"Dare to sneak attack, I'll tear your bones apart!"

Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi also reacted instantly, quickly gathering, their Auras locking onto the suddenly appearing assassin, their eyes cold.

The Cultivators watching from afar were once again in an uproar!

"W-w-what the f***! Another... another Saint?! It's an assassin from the Netherworld Hall!"

"My heavens! The Netherworld Hall actually sent out a Saint-Grade assassin! This is truly an endless feud!"

The Cultivators watching were completely Crazy! Today's excitement came in waves, almost unbearable for their hearts!

"My goodness! What day is it today?! Is it a Saint meeting?! Saints, who are usually as elusive as a Dragon, appearing one after another?!"

A Cultivator's voice changed pitch with excitement, gesticulating wildly.

"First an old Saint, then that mysterious Body Cultivator Saint, and now even a Saint-Grade assassin from the Netherworld Hall has appeared! This... what's happening to the world?! When did Saints become so common?!"

Another old Cultivator beat his chest and stomped his feet, feeling his understanding completely subverted.

"It's worth it! It's worth it! To be able to witness three Saints appear in person in this lifetime, with two of them even fighting fiercely! Even if I'm shaken to death by the aftermath now, it's f***ing worth it!"

A bold Loose Cultivator was red-faced with excitement, dodging backward while staring intently at the battlefield.

"Quick! Quickly use a recording Jade Slip! Record this scene! Bringing it back to the Sect will be a great merit!"

Some quick-witted fellows had already started to act.

"Record what?! Saints fighting, the Dao principles are chaotic, ordinary Jade Slips can't capture the images at all! Remember it with your heart! Engrave it with your Divine Soul! Details! Don't miss a single detail! These are all priceless treasures!"

Someone with more knowledge shouted anxiously.

The entire viewing area was completely boiling, the crowd restless, exclamations, sighs, and discussions converging into a single din.

Many even forgot their fear, only remaining with the excitement of witnessing history.

However, the continuous Saint-Grade fluctuations erupting in the actual valley, like beacons in the night, instantly attracted the attention of the entire Eastern Domain's top powers.

Supreme Mystery Holy Land, Holy Lord's secret chamber.

When the current Holy Lord, Xuan Chenzi, received the secret report, the Jade Slip in his fingertips silently turned to dust, and a complex ripple flashed in his eyes.

"Junior Martial Uncle Ku Xuan... still walked this path after all."

He sighed softly, his tone containing shock, but more of a sense of relief.

"For the ethereal Opportunity of extending his life, he endured for thousands of years, and now trying to forcibly seize the secret command, he ended up like this... So be it, the grievances are settled here. For him, and for the Holy Land, it's a kind of release."

Glazed Holy Land, the Holy Lord's face was as gloomy as water.

He stared in the direction of Xuan Province, a cold light flickering in his eyes: "As expected, there's a Saint protecting them. This Netherworld Hall is truly unreliable, a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Immediately, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "But it doesn't matter, Elder Ying has already gone. An open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against. With him there, it's not a big problem."

The Yaochi Holy Land, the Ancient Royal Family, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and other ancient Legacies also had powerful Divine Senses sweeping across that area from afar, with scrutiny and curiosity.

"An unfamiliar Body Cultivator Saint? His Qi and blood are so vigorous..."

"The phenomena of those little baby are quite extraordinary!"

"The Netherworld Hall has also intervened? Interesting..."

"Observe the changes, do not intervene for now."

One after another, cold, probing, or calculating intentions converged in the Void Realm, and then quietly disappeared.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the Eastern Domain, ripples began to spread due to this sudden change.
