Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 688: Chapter 630: Surprised or Not?

The old Daoist was indeed almost provoking, with a massive aura emanating from him.

It was clearly just a simple aura, yet it stirred the heavens and earth like a sharp blade.

Such behavior was hard not to get noticed, especially by people of their Realm.

When Li Yingqi arrived with a grim face, the old Daoist was particularly mocking, yawning on purpose.

"When you’re old, you get sleepy easily. If you were any slower, this old man would have fallen asleep."

Li Yingqi’s already grim face became even more unsightly. He had many things to do, but he didn’t want to waste time on this old man.

With a cold tone, he asked, "You deliberately lured me here, what do you want?"

The old Daoist straightened his clothes and gave a polite bow.

"Nothing much, this humble Daoist just wants to visit the Central Continent for a stroll, and give you a beating before I go."

Li Yingqi almost laughed in anger. How could he not know the old Daoist’s capabilities?

He couldn’t catch him, that was true, but the old man couldn’t stand against him either.

"I bet you’ll run after just a few moves."

Li Yingqi laughed coldly.

Without further words, both sides almost simultaneously made their move.

The ten-zhang Dharma Aspect emerged, joining hands with Li Yingqi, as the sinister Ghostly Realm continuously spread, the cries of ghosts filling the surrounding heavens and earth.

The old Daoist plucked stars with his hand, moving across the starry river, his massive Sword Intent causing the void to tremble.

On the verge of eruption!

Stars fell, creating a huge gap in the Ghostly Realm, the Dharma Aspect fiercely repelled the old Daoist several miles away.

Li Yingqi wanted to press on, but suddenly stopped.

Because a sky-piercing Sword Intent came from the southeast, and a Daoist took a simple step, appearing behind the old Daoist.

Li Yingqi and Mu Zili looked at each other from afar, their auras clashing, creating thunder and lightning out of nothing.

A formidable foe!

Even without engaging, just from the aura, Li Yingqi determined this newcomer was indeed formidable.

"Is this your backup?"

Li Yingqi looked at the old Daoist mockingly and sneered.

The old Daoist puffed up his chest, completely unfazed by the taunt, retorting instead.

"There’s a saying, ’beat the old and the young will come.’ I got beaten, so my apprentice came to help. Makes sense, right?"

Sensible my foot!

Li Yingqi almost swore out loud.

What do you mean by ’beat the old and the young will come’?

Never heard such a saying; it’s usually the other way around.

Also, it was the old man who initiated the fight. What do you mean by ’got beaten’?

Apprentice? Li Yingqi couldn’t believe this old guy could teach someone stronger than himself.

Proud warriors shouldn’t be insulted, and the other side didn’t seem to refute. Could it be true?

Whether true or false no longer mattered.

Mu Zili nodded to the old Daoist and spoke slowly, "Leave this to me."

The old Daoist grinned, then instantly turned into a stream of light, and without any noticeable action, a Celestial Chasm quietly appeared.

Li Yingqi wanted to stop it but was too late, as Mu Zili had already taken action.

Raising a Storm, the vast ocean suddenly churned.

A fierce Sword Intent filled the entire void, and suddenly a finger stopped an inch from Li Yingqi’s brow.

Indeed very strong!

Li Yingqi was apprehensive; if not for that tiny distance, this seemingly ordinary finger would have pierced him.

Mu Zili didn’t push further because the Dharma Aspect behind him also halted, the sharp blade’s shadow less than an inch from his throat.

After both stopped, colorful light continuously radiated from Mu Zili, touching the Ghostly Realm and causing spontaneous combustion within.

Indeed, from start to finish, Mu Zili never fully revealed his Dao seed, and not even now did he completely display his abilities.

Li Yingqi thought he would have broken through with thunderous means, but Mu Zili suddenly halted.

"Why not continue fighting?"

Li Yingqi furrowed his brow, unsure of the other’s intentions.

"You’re no match for me. If we continue, you’ll run."

Mu Zili tucked his robes, smiling slightly as if discussing something trivial.

Yet ironically, he spoke such hurtful words.

Li Yingqi felt utterly humiliated and was about to strike again, the Dharma Aspect suddenly fierce, instantly doubling in size.

Even against the old Daoist, he held back and never fought with full strength.

How could he be inferior to this pretentious guy!

Mu Zili merely smiled, and without a visible move, the light behind him suddenly condensed into five colors.

When the five-colored brilliance shot out, the twenty-zhang Dharma Aspect shattered, unable to withstand a single blow.

Upon meeting again, Li Yingqi’s figure was nowhere in sight.

"I told you, you’d run, but you didn’t believe it."

Mu Zili shook his head as he looked in the direction of the fleeing figure.

Li Yingqi, indeed, felt both ashamed and angry, and the moment the Dharma Aspect shattered, he fled without hesitation.

The other truly wasn’t boasting; if he engaged again, he’d surely have to escape.

Amidst a mix of shame and anger, he hurried back to the palace and quickly came before a bronze mirror, bowing respectfully.

When ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror, Li Yingqi bowed deeply, exceedingly reverent.

Besides the detailed report of the Central Continent, the more crucial matter was the old Daoist barging into the Central Continent.

Additionally, the Celestial Dao Sect sending such a powerful Divine Dao Realm cultivator was no minor issue.

"No matter, let the Central Continent be. Afterwards, arrangements will be made for you to collaborate with a Divine Dao cultivator."

Just like that?

Li Yingqi felt strange, if the Central Continent was important, why let it be?

He wanted to ask but dared not.

Moments later, before the ripples calmed, the voice gave its final instruction.

"Let people remain in the Central Continent from now on; they need not return. If the Celestial Dao Sect desires to go there, let them all go."

...

"Whoever wants to go can go, but I’m not going."

Finding the third base, Wang Xingzhi and the others exchanged glances, but this time no one wanted to follow any longer.

Not only did no one want to follow, but they also got as far away as possible.

Soon after, as a new Heaven and Earth Destruction disaster erupted, a vague figure was seen leaping out of the Celestial Chasm in the void.

The old Daoist, following the aura he left behind, the first thing he did upon entering the Central Continent was to find Han Yu.

After cutting through several Celestial Chasms, he could vaguely sense the last one nearby.

Gleefully, the old Daoist slashed one last time, emerging from the Celestial Chasm with a beaming smile.

This Central Continent local was full of secrets, truly intriguing, especially those peculiar Pills; he couldn’t help but remember them.

"Haha, young friend, the old man is back, are you surprised, cea..."

"Shit!"

Before he finished speaking, the old Daoist couldn’t smile anymore.

In front of him, a terrifying vortex almost slapped against his face, its frightful suction constantly pulling him in.

He turned without a second thought, trying to return to the Celestial Chasm, but the void’s crack had already sealed.

"Who the hell is screwing this humble Daoist!"

Han Yu, after running five miles, couldn’t help but glance back, his expression turning odd as he asked Wang Xingzhi and the others.

"Did any of you hear that eerie noise?"

"I didn’t hear anything."

"Neither did I."

This puzzled the group, yet they all shook their heads indicating no.

This was strange.

"I thought I heard someone cursing."

Han Yu’s face was inexplicably tense, logically, with his current five senses, it was unlikely to be an illusion.

Wang Xingzhi responded calmly, "Logically, with such commotion, who would court death by coming here."
