255: The White-Haired Immortal compromises with his heartless identity.
Seeing Lei Wujie's appearance, the White-Haired Immortal felt like stabbing him to death with a single sword strike.
“Kid, do you think this joke is very funny?” The White-Haired Immortal looked at Lei Wujie with a playful expression.
“Not at all, I'm just stating facts. This place is only so big; can't you see for yourself whether the golden coffin you're looking for is here or not?” Lei Wujie spread his hands, looking at the White-Haired Immortal with a helpless expression.
“I didn't expect you brats to have quite a few tricks up your sleeves, actually knowing how to split into two groups.”
“Tell me, where exactly is the golden coffin?”
“Otherwise, none of you should think about leaving today.” The White-Haired Immortal's tone suddenly turned icy cold.
A chill enveloped the group.
“Heh, do you think I, Lei Wujie, was raised on threats? It's five of us against one of you; it's not certain who will win or lose.” Lei Wujie exuded a wild and unyielding Aura from head to toe.
He was naturally fearless, and at this moment, it was impossible for him to back down because of a single sentence from the White-Haired Immortal.
Even if he didn't have his current Great Grandmaster strength, he wasn't the type of person to admit defeat easily.
No matter how strong the opponent was, he had to fight them first before saying anything else.
“White-Haired Immortal of Beyond the Heavens? You are the White-Haired Immortal of the Beyond the Heavens Demonic Cult?” Tang Lian looked at the person before him and finally remembered the other's name.
“Oh, you junior are not bad, to actually know this seat's name.”
“Since you know my name, you should know that with just you few little children, you are simply not this seat's match.”
“If you're smart, tell me where the golden coffin is. Otherwise, this seat doesn't mind giving you all a good lesson.” The White-Haired Immortal looked at Tang Lian with some surprise.
“Are you confident?” Tang Lian looked at Lei Wujie beside him.
“I'm not sure, I'll only know after we fight.” Lei Wujie's eyes shone as he looked at the White-Haired Immortal, his gaze burning with an intense desire for battle.
Seeing Lei Wujie's state, the White-Haired Immortal raised an eyebrow.
Only now did he notice that the Aura of this young man in red, who was filled with unyielding defiance, felt somewhat unusual.
“Eh, interesting. This seat almost misjudged you.”
“I didn't expect that you, a little child, would actually be a Master of the Carefree Heaven Realm.”
“The Lei Family Fort has truly produced a Dragon!” The White-Haired Immortal looked at Lei Wujie in surprise.
No wonder these children were so confident; it turned out one of them was a Carefree Heaven Realm Master.
However, even if there was a Carefree Heaven Realm Master, so what? Why would he, the White-Haired Immortal, fear a battle?
Furthermore, he could see that Lei Wujie's Realm had only just achieved a Breakthrough not long ago.
Even with a few more in the Innate Realm, he would not be afraid.
“Heh, your eyes aren't bad either, to actually be able to see through my strength.”
“In that case, let me see just how strong you, a great Master of the Carefree Heaven Realm, really are.” Lei Wujie condensed power in his fist and suddenly threw a punch.
As the fierce and scorching power struck out, the surrounding air began to vibrate.
Lei Wujie's strike made the White-Haired Immortal's eyes light up.
This kid was indeed promising material; no wonder he could reach his current Realm at such an age.
The two quickly exchanged dozens of Moves in the air, and for a while, neither could do anything to the other.
However, it was clear that Lei Wujie's use of power was not yet skillful.
The White-Haired Immortal, on the other hand, was obviously much more composed; he was merely testing Lei Wujie and had not used his full strength.
The battle between the two left Tang Lian, Xiao Se, and Sikong Qianluo with no way to intervene.
Meanwhile, Wuxin watched the two figures with a constant smile on his face.
The Moves of the two were very fast; among those present, only he could clearly see their techniques.
He was also looking for the opponent's flaws. Along this journey, his attitude towards Lei Wujie and the others had undergone a fundamental change.
It also let him know that people of the Righteous Path were not all untrustworthy.
Therefore, if they wanted to repel this White-Haired Immortal, he would need to step in and help.
Lei Wujie had just broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, which was the Carefree Heaven Realm.
He was certainly no match for this White-Haired Immortal, because Wuxin had already seen the White-Haired Immortal's strength; although they were in the same Carefree Heaven Realm, he was much more proficient in the application of power than Lei Wujie.
After a hundred Moves, Lei Wujie had already fallen into a disadvantage.
Of course, this wasn't Lei Wujie's full power either; the precious sword on his back had not yet been unsheathed.
Seeing that Lei Wujie was about to be defeated and was preparing to use the sha bu sword, Wuxin stepped forward at this moment.
“Uncle Bai, stop.” Wuxin spoke in a calm tone.
The White-Haired Immortal, who was in the middle of fighting, felt his heart tremble upon hearing Wuxin's words. His sword suddenly forced Lei Wujie back, and his eyes fixed onto Wuxin.
“What did you just call me?” The White-Haired Immortal looked at Wuxin with some uncertainty.
“Uncle Bai, we haven't seen each other for so many years, yet your elegance remains the same.” Wuxin looked at the White-Haired Immortal with a smile.
“You are the Young Sect Master?” The White-Haired Immortal looked at Wuxin with a face full of shock.
He truly hadn't expected to encounter Wuxin under such circumstances.
At this moment, he finally understood what was hidden inside that golden coffin; what was hidden inside the golden coffin was Wuxin.
This Young Sect Master of Beyond the Heavens.
“It is I...” Wuxin nodded, admitting his identity.
“That's wonderful. Before, I was wondering what exactly was in this golden coffin that would trigger a struggle between the righteous and demonic paths.”
“I didn't expect that it was actually you, kid, hiding inside the golden coffin.”
“It's fine now. Come with your uncle; I will take you back to Beyond the Heavens.” The White-Haired Immortal excitedly approached Wuxin, his eyes filled with excitement and concern.
Wuxin, however, shook his head, having no intention of leaving with the White-Haired Immortal.
“Uncle Bai, I have my own plans. Besides, I am very safe right now; you don't need to worry about my safety.”
“With these few here, nothing will happen to me.”
Wuxin shook his head and declined the White-Haired Immortal's suggestion.
The White-Haired Immortal frowned slightly and looked at Lei Wujie.
Although Lei Wujie's strength wasn't weak, the forces coveting the golden coffin this time were all very strong. Although he was the only Carefree Heaven Realm Master to appear so far,
no one could guarantee that more Carefree Heaven Realm or even Divine Roaming Profound Realm Masters might not appear along the way.
He was worried about Wuxin's safety. This was the Young Sect Master of Beyond the Heavens; as one of the two Protectors, he absolutely could not let anything happen to the Young Sect Master.
“Young Sect Master, I didn't know you were hidden in the golden coffin before, but now that I know, I naturally cannot just leave you be.”
“Just come back to Beyond the Heavens with me. Only there will you be completely safe.” The White-Haired Immortal insisted on his opinion.
“Uncle Bai, I have already decided. Let me resolve this matter myself.”
“You wouldn't want a useless person returning to Beyond the Heavens, would you?” Wuxin looked at the White-Haired Immortal, shook his head, and continued.
“Your identity won't be hidden for long; they will soon discover who you are.”
“When that time comes, I'm afraid even stronger people will take action. These few children won't be able to protect your safety.” The White-Haired Immortal insisted.
“Since you've put it that way, Uncle Bai, why don't you just follow us in the shadows?”
“As long as it's something we can handle, do not intervene.”
“No matter what, I need to grow.” Wuxin looked at the White-Haired Immortal with a helpless expression.
“In that case, we'll do it that way. I will notify the Purple-Robed Marquis as soon as possible to have him rendezvous with us. With the two of us protecting you, we can ensure nothing goes wrong.” After some thought, the White-Haired Immortal finally agreed to Wuxin's proposal.
