Chapter 623 - 612: Emperor Shitian

Ding Ling and Nie Feng saw the man walking toward the direction of the inn, and stepped aside.

Unexpectedly, the man also followed suit and moved to the side.

Ding Ling thought it was a coincidence and moved to the other side.

The man nonchalantly arrived at the other side as well.

His speed seemed slow but was actually fast, like instant teleportation, hard to discern by the naked eye.

The technique used to block Ding Ling was profoundly subtle, ordinary people would find it hard to detect.

Ding Ling’s pupils contracted, but he was the first to notice the anomaly.

And he knew that the visitor must have come for him.

He stopped and looked at the man, saying:

"Who are you? Why are you blocking me?"

"Heh heh."

The visitor stroked the three wisps of long beard under his jaw, looked Ding Ling up and down, and laughed, "You must be Ding Ling?"

’Indeed.’

"You truly have an impressive appearance, with a restrained overbearing aura. No wonder you were once an emperor in the Lower Realm."

The man laughed heartily while holding his waist, but in an instant, his face turned grim, squinting his eyes slightly, looking down on Ding Ling:

"I sent someone to invite you, if you don’t want to come, fine, but you actually dared to attack my disciple! I have no choice. I can only come personally to invite you."

Suddenly, his aura was released.

A vast power transformed into a storm sweeping in all directions.

Where it passed.

Buildings collapsed with a rumble;

Passers-by screamed as they were blown away.

A large tree on the left was swaying unstably under this overwhelming wind force, seemingly ready to be uprooted anytime!

Nie Feng’s expression changed dramatically, using the Wind God Leg, like a gust, stepping on the wild wind to rescue each child, woman, and elderly blown away and place them in a safe area.

No matter how fast he was, he couldn’t save everyone; some strong men survived their fall, but the elderly and children did not, so Nie Feng first rescued the weaker ones.

Ding Ling activated the Profound Skill and Breathing Technique, standing rooted like a tree, he was taller than the man, slightly looking down at him, and said:

"Should I call you Xu Fu or Emperor Shitian?"

"Haha. As you wish!"

The man looked with peculiar interest, laughed out loud, "Such boldness. No wonder you dared to kill my useless disciples!"

Suddenly, he withdrew his laughter, speaking in a deep voice:

"Since you know I, Xu Fu, am the Emperor Shitian of the Celestial Sect, you still dare to kill! How bold you are!"

He glared at Ding Ling, his eyes wide open, staring at Ding Ling, his voice sometimes heavy, sometimes erratic, sometimes with laughter, sometimes with Evil Qi.

His appearance changed with his voice alike.

Mysteriously unpredictable in a short time.

Like a schizophrenic.

Severely neurotic!

Ding Ling’s complexion slightly altered, he didn’t expect the visitor to indeed be Emperor Shitian, encountering this lunatic so soon was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He truly didn’t expect this behind-the-scenes boss to come forth personally!

Though thinking of Wude, Divine Generals, Ice Emperor as his top subordinates, almost all of whom were killed by him, maybe Emperor Shitian had no one to employ, or deemed no one could confront him, Ding Ling, hence why he personally stepped in?

Ding Ling became enlightened, then said:

"I wonder what Emperor Shitian wants to invite me to Phoenix Island for?"

"Heh heh."

Emperor Shitian restrained his anger, chuckled while stroking his beard, "I am conducting an experiment, desperately needing a genius like you for assistance, after surveying the Jiuzhou Land, you, Ding Ling, are the most suitable, so I dispatched Wude and Taiyi to invite you.

Unexpectedly, they’re so useless.

Not only couldn’t invite you.

But lost their lives. Truly an embarrassment for me. At over a hundred years old, yet can’t defeat you, a mere boy! Shouldn’t they die? Aren’t they hateful? Shouldn’t I be angry?"

He chuckled:

"Thus, such trash dying is good. Saves me from seeing them and getting annoyed."

He looked Ding Ling up and down, clicked his tongue in admiration:

"So young and yet your skill has reached the Transformation Realm. Seems you’ve also cultivated Divine Form Power, impressive, truly impressive. I desperately need a young talent like you as an assistant."

He paced back and forth, rubbing his hands, eagerly looking at Ding Ling, saying:

"Young man, come, help me. If you assist me, I’ll make you the Vice Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect, allowing you to be the absolute ruler below one and above thousands in this world.

Even I can pass my Holy Heart Technique to you."

He waved his hand, various vivid illusion beasts formed from True Qi in his hand out of thin air:

"See that? This is the True Qi of the Holy Heart Technique. Once mastered, achieving immortality, resurrecting the dead, are simple tasks. With your high talents, cultivating my Holy Heart Technique, you can attain immortality like me.

Then, live for thousands of years, you would be the true Deity still alive."

He sighed:

"I live in this world too lonely. I need a god to accompany me."

"Don’t you know about Xiaao Sanxiaao’s existence?"

Ding Ling questioned frankly:

"Emperor Shitian, have you acted so much that you’ve touched yourself?"

"..."

Emperor Shitian’s face darkened, said:

"Xiaao Sanxiaao is unpredictable, he’s not like me! We could only be enemies, how could we be friends! Only recently did I know of his existence, that’s why I am urgently seeking an ally. And after examining this Jiuzhou, only you, Ding Ling, perfectly meet my criteria! Only you could quickly master the Holy Heart Technique and subsequently become a god!"

His voice rose, seemingly excited and thrilled:

"Once you become a god. Then join forces with me, kill Xiaao Sanxiaao, that old undying, haha. I can strip out his Dragon Turtle Blood alive.

The efficacy of this Dragon Turtle Blood is not much less than Phoenix Blood."

At this point.

He suddenly fixed his eyes on Ding Ling, his voice erratic, hard to determine his current mindset:

"Ding Ling, you wouldn’t refuse me, would you?"

"You pass me the Holy Heart Technique, and I’ll cooperate with you."

Ding Ling’s full-level acting activated, becoming extremely sincere:

"I, Ding Ling, a spit like a nail. As long as you, Emperor Shitian, don’t go back on your word, naturally, I don’t have a reason to back out."

"Venerable Lord!"

Nie Feng was somewhat anxious.

Who is Emperor Shitian?

On the way, he heard quite a few rumors.

Long been aware.

Just a pervert, a lunatic!

Cooperating with such a person?

Wouldn’t that be like seeking skin from a tiger?

Nie Feng naturally doesn’t want his Venerable Lord to ally with such a person.

Ding Ling gestured for Nie Feng to calm down.

Only then did Nie Feng quiet down, standing atop a wind cluster, watching Emperor Shitian nervously, always ready to start fighting.

As for the inn’s guests, the owner, and others, they had long run away frightened.

Even those with courage who hadn’t run.

Under Nie Feng’s indication, they also scattered and fled far.

At this moment.

Within a few miles, aside from Ding Ling, there was no one else.

The girls and elderly who fled slowly were directly carried by Nie Feng using Wind God Leg to faraway places.
