Chapter 64: Emperor Tian, Purpose.
"Xiao Wu!"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed softly as she watched the slender figure emerge from the woods.
Xiao Wu looked a bit disheveled, her clothes torn and her neat scorpion braid disheveled. However, her face was rosy and she seemed a bit more mature than before.
Overall, however, she was fine.
"Rongrong, Teacher Zhao." Xiao Wu stood beside the blond man, looking at Zhao Wuji and the others with a smile on her face.
However, Xuan Mo, Zhao Wuji and the others ignored Xiao Wu and turned their attention to the black-haired man.
It was obvious that this black-haired man was an unparalleled powerhouse above the level of a Titled Douluo.
Otherwise, he couldn't have injured the Soul Douluo Long Gong and caused him to spit blood with just his voice and imposing aura.
However, unlike Zhao Wuji and Peerless Dragon Snake, who were filled with respect and fear, Xuan Mo felt a sense of unease.
The appearance of the black-haired man had already pushed the incident into an unknown direction far beyond the original story.
Xuan Mo couldn't help but feel puzzled. Judging from the current state of the black-haired man's cultivation, he was definitely at the level of a Titled Douluo or higher.
Logically, both Long Gong and the black-haired man, as Soul Douluos, should have been able to discern Xiao Wu's identity. Yet, for some reason, neither side made a move.
At this moment,
Zhao Wuji stopped the Shrek group behind him and stood before the students, bowing. Though nervous, he still asked respectfully, "May I know who you are, Senior?"
Unexpectedly, the black-haired man ignored Zhao Wuji, not even offering him a friendly look. It was as if he simply didn't take Zhao Wuji seriously.
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but smile wryly, then glanced at Xiao Wu, who was standing beside the black-haired man.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu naturally couldn't tell the truth. After glancing at the black-haired man again, and seeing he didn't say much, he relayed his story to everyone. "After I was captured by the Titan Ape, it headed for the forest. But before I'd gotten far, Senior Di Tian suddenly appeared, forced the Titan Ape back, and rescued me."
"But it was a blessing in disguise. I broke through to level 30, and with Senior Di Tian's help, I was able to hunt a thousand-year-old spirit beast as my own spirit ring," Xiao Wu said, a look of lingering fear on her face.
"Thank you, Senior Di Tian!"
Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and immediately bowed to the black-haired man in thanks.
As for doubts, while Xiao Wu's words held many doubts, she had returned alive after all. Besides, who would doubt them if they didn't want to offend this senior?
However, the Peerless Dragon Snake now wore a look of despair. Judging by the current situation, the situation was extremely unfavorable for them. So…
"Senior…"
Just as the Peerless Dragon Snake couple was about to approach and make some friendly advances, they were interrupted by Di Tian. "Leave this place within ten breaths, or you will die!"
With these words out of his mouth, Peerless Dragon Snake didn't hesitate at all. He immediately grabbed his granddaughter and fled, uttering no words, losing none of his demeanor as a powerful figure. Meanwhile, Xuan Mo's face wore a look of shock at this scene. Di Tian, as a time traveler, of course, knew who he was.
In Dou Dou II, a super-ferocious beast with 800,000 years of cultivation, the foremost of the ten ferocious beasts, was said to possess quasi-god-level cultivation, already halfway to godhood and honored as the "Beast God."
But logically, shouldn't beasts like Di Tian be dormant in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest? Why were they there?
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu's reason for remaining hidden was finally revealed.
As Xuan Mo stared intently at Di Tian, Di Tian suddenly glanced at Xuan Mo, and their eyes met.
Suddenly, Xuan Mo felt his spirit stir, and his mind exploded.
But at this moment, a pale red mist suddenly rose from behind Zhao Wuji and the others.
"What's going on? This mist! Oh my god, what happened to Xiao San?"
Xiao Wu's heart tightened as she saw Tang San clearly in the pale red mist. Without caring if Di Tian was nearby, she rushed over in two steps.
"He insisted on absorbing the Human-Faced Demon Spider spirit ring, which has exceeded the two thousand year limit. Now we can only hope that he can withstand the energy impact of the spirit ring and survive this."
Zhao Wuji said bitterly.
"If this kid dies, it will be his own fault."
At this moment, Di Tian, standing nearby, spoke up, his face looking at Tang San, his expression completely expressionless.
"I wonder, Senior Di Tian..."
"I was simply drawn here by a little fellow. Other matters have nothing to do with me. And I won't stay here for long."
He shifted his gaze to Xuan Mo, causing his heart to skip a beat as he felt a premonition.
And when Di Tian spoke, as expected...
"Boy, if I'm not mistaken, your martial spirit possesses the blood of the Taotie."
Xuan Mo felt as if the blood in his body was about to stop flowing as Di Tian's gaze focused on him. He immediately responded in the affirmative.
Di Tian said expressionlessly, "Boy, you'll know what this means in the future. Also, when you feel strong enough, bring this to me. You'll receive incredible benefits."
With that, Di Tian flicked his hand, throwing something towards Xuan Mo.
Xuan Mo instinctively caught it, then looked down to see that Di Tian had tossed him a pendant.
The pendant resembled a leaf, about the size of a baby's palm, dark black with ridges that gave off a faint purple hue.
A black thread, not thick at all, clung to the pendant, remarkably resilient.
"Wear this around your neck, and don't remove it until you're strong enough and come to me. Remember, it can save you in times of danger."
With that, Di Tian ignored the others. With a final glance at Xiao Wu, he said, "Take care of yourself," then turned and floated away into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Xuan Mo and the others were left staring at each other in bewilderment...
Returning to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian immediately headed for a secret location.
"My Lord, I have completed what you instructed me to do." The previously arrogant Di Tian now knelt on one knee.
"Very well, you may proceed..."
