C613 – The Mysterious Old Man
The moment the blood sea surged, all the hair on Tianji Zi’s body that was about to leave his body stood up.
His eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the Burial World and murmured in surprise, “Yin Tianzi has come out of seclusion? Has he broken through?”
A vast and mighty spiritual force was sent out. After a while, his face suddenly turned pale. His entire body shook a few times, and the expression on his face returned to normal.
“So you are the same as me, attracted by the aura of reincarnation. Unfortunately, if you continue to enter seclusion, perhaps you really have a chance to take that step ahead of me. Now, wanting to take that step is difficult!”
Tianji Zi laughed involuntarily. He laid on the reclining chair with a smile that was not a smile.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the door.
Tianji Zi seemed to have expected this. He said faintly, “Come in.”
“Jiya!!”
An old man pushed open the door and entered.
Tianji Zi was stunned when he saw who it was. “It’s you?”
The man looked at Tianji Zi with a calm expression and said, “It’s me. I’m here to work with you!”
Tianji Zi’s eyes revealed a mocking expression when he heard the man’s words. “With just you?”
The man was looked down upon, but he wasn’t angry. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, “You should know the benefits of working with me.”
The old man looked at Tianji Zi, as if he was certain that Tianji Zi would work with him. His face was full of confidence.
“Did you do the thing in the small courtyard? Putting the blame on Qihuang was not very open and aboveboard. You want a dog to take the blame for such a small matter? The benefits of working with you? I really can’t see it.”
When Tianji Zi saw the old man’s expression, his eyes were filled with ridicule as he teased.
“You…”
The old man’s face turned red when he was told what was on his mind. He was so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to say.
“You seem to be certain that the candidate is Zhang Xuan?” Tianji Zi looked at the old man, and his eyes were full of probing.
Hearing this, the old man regained his composure and shook his head slightly, “I’m not sure, but I’m sure that person won’t be you. You don’t have the qualifications!”
Tianji Zi’s eyes froze as he stared at the old man.
The old man’s expression was indifferent as he looked at him.
“Hahaha… Do you think I will cooperate with you just because you say so? If I want to take that step, fighting with you is a necessary step. Why should I cooperate with you?”
“Rather than cooperating with you, if I cooperate with Yin Tianzi, Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Hao, I will kill you and then the four of us will have a peaceful competition.”
Tianji Zi looked at the old man coldly. The killing intent in his tone wasn’t concealed at all.
“Your appearance here proves that you haven’t used your full strength yet. Do you think I should take the opportunity to kill you?”
“Boom!”
As soon as his voice faded, a vast force of heaven and earth suddenly enveloped the old man. Tianji Zi threw his palm at the old man.
His spiritual force suddenly exploded, and a loud sound was heard from within the Void.
At this moment, the force of the Great Dao penetrated through his body, and Tianji Zi’s jade-like palm suddenly slammed down.
The old man’s expression did not change, as if he had already expected Tianji Zi to do this. He similarly struck out with his palm.
“Bang!”
A sound that wasn’t considered intense was heard. The old man’s palm exploded, but Tianji Zi stood still in the same spot.
This wasn’t enough. The moment Tianji Zi waved his huge palm, a sword beam shot out towards the old man.
The sword light pierced through the old man, sending him flying like a mutton skewer, crashing into the wall of the courtyard.
However, there wasn’t much joy on Tianji Zi’s face. Instead, he looked at the Void on his right.
The old man who was nailed to the wall slowly dispersed. On the right, a wave of fluctuation appeared, and the old man slowly appeared. He looked at Tianji Zi with an indifferent expression, as if he wasn’t the one who had just exchanged blows with Tianji Zi.
“How about it? Can we hate the cooperation now?”
Tianji Zi looked at the old man in a daze. After a while, a smile appeared on his face. “I wonder what your plan is?”
“It’s very simple. First, kill Yin Tianzi and control the power of death. After that, you and I will kill Zhang Xuan together, or wait for the moment Zhang Xuan breaks through and seize his opportunity…” The old man said.
“Take it? How do we divide it?” Tianji Zi interrupted the old man’s words, “Furthermore, Zhang Xuan has only appeared for the shortest period of time. The possibility of the fortune being with him isn’t very high. On the contrary, I suspect that the fortune is in Zhang Hao’s hands.”
“Zhang Hao has already disappeared from our sight for tens of millions of years. No one can predict how strong he is right now. Besides…”
A trace of fear was revealed in the depths of Tianji Zi’s eyes. He continued, “I suspect that Zhang Hao and Yin Tianzi have already joined hands.”
“That’s impossible!” The elder immediately said.
“Don’t deny it so quickly. Yin Tianzi is not like you, he is an extremely arrogant person and disdains to use tricks against others.”
Tianji Zi sneered and said.
The old man’s face turned gloomy. He didn’t get angry even after being ridiculed by Tianji Zi.
Tianji Zi became even more disdainful when he saw the old man’s face.
“Of course, this is just my guess. Zhang Hao’s Qi erupted in Burial World, but it quickly disappeared. Without the help of Yin Tianzi, Zhang Hao won’t be able to escape from our spiritual detection!”
Tianji Zi said and looked at the old man in a mocking manner. “You should know this very well.”
The old man’s expression didn’t change when he heard Tianji Zi’s words, but his eyes shone brightly.
Looking at the old man’s face, Tianji Zi’s face was full of ridicule.
The old man looked at Tianji Zi and asked, “During this period of time, you have been investigating. Have you found anything?”
“Zhang Xuan, what does it have to do with Zhang Hao?”
After he finished speaking, the old man looked at Tianji Zi.
“I can tell you this, you should have noticed it yourself. Zhang Xuan… was a little strange. He did not look like someone from this world, but more like someone from the long river of history. An existence that lives here across time and space.”
Tianji Zi didn’t hide his appreciation in his eyes. He continued, “A person who can cross time and space and live in the same dimension as us is indeed a peerless genius!”
“You have been investigating Zhang Xuan for so long, you should have found more!”
The old man shook his head. “The longer you stay by his side, the more you feel like you don’t understand him! This is the reason why I have been testing him.”
“What’s the result of the test?” Tianji Zi raised his eyebrows, obviously not expecting the old man to say this.
“It’s not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao!” The old man frowned, and his expression became serious.
“Not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Axiom?” Tianji Zi frowned. He didn’t expect to receive such an answer.
He looked at the old man, wanting to see the true intention of the old man.
However, the old man looked at him with a smile that wasn’t a smile.
Tianji Zi was puzzled. Could it be that Zhang Xuan was more dangerous than Zhang Hao?
