Rumble!
Twin fists collide!
Heaven and earth tremble!
Endless shockwaves sweep and rage.
Kong Xiaoxian's fist, covered in layers of "Mortal Immortal Armor," stands like a towering pillar of white jade, stretching across the sky.
Powerful!
Resilient!
Indestructible!
Zhao Wuji activates his divine abilities, bombarding with endless starlight, but he cannot even slightly harm Kong Xiaoxian's fist.
This punch seems to prop up the entire starry sky.
Behind Kong Xiaoxian, the phantom of the "Giant Spirit Valkyrie" even appears.
Her fist's might increases.
Clang!
The "Mortal Immortal Armor" hums.
Its full power is unleashed.
A large amount of "Mortal Immortal Force" surges out, infusing the fist.
Bang bang bang!
The surrounding "Starry Spirit Light" is shattered.
Kong Xiaoxian's fist pierces through obstacles, advancing unimpeded.
In the blink of an eye, her fist reaches Zhao Wuji.
No matter how Zhao Wuji roars in fury, no matter how the "Starry Spirit Light" attacks, it cannot shake Kong Xiaoxian's fist one bit.
Just as Kong Xiaoxian's fist is about to smash into Zhao Wuji's face.
With a "whoosh," Kong Xiaoxian's fist stops an inch from Zhao Wuji's nose.
Kong Xiaoxian retracts her fist!
Her voice is icy, utterly domineering, like a "Valkyrie's return."
"Zhao Wuji, Han Mo is my man, Kong Xiaoxian's man. If you dare to disrespect him again, this punch will not be held back. I will smash your head to pieces, understand?"
Faced with Kong Xiaoxian's "threat," Zhao Wuji is utterly terrified.
He truly feels a "death threat."
At this moment, Kong Xiaoxian is like a "Giant Spirit Valkyrie."
Fierce!
Powerful!
Domineering to the extreme!
There is no will to resist.
Zhao Wuji's spirit is shaken, and he subconsciously nods.
"Understand, I understand!"
Kong Xiaoxian is satisfied with Zhao Wuji's "submission," and she slowly withdraws her fist.
Ka ka ka!
Another sound of metal friction.
The "Mortal Immortal Armor" flows like water, quickly returning to its original state.
Kong Xiaoxian also reverts to her adorable, cute, and lively appearance, like a little butterfly.
She hops back to Han Mo's side.
"Xiao Momo, let's go. We don't need to be with these people!"
Saying this, Kong Xiaoxian takes Han Mo's hand, preparing to leave.
Han Mo glances at the dejected and terrified Zhao Wuji, smiles slightly, and retracts the "Shadowless Poison Needle" from his hand.
Han Mo thinks to himself: Zhao Wuji, Zhao Wuji, you should be grateful to Kong Xiaoxian. If she hadn't intervened in time, you would be dead by now!
As Kong Xiaoxian and Han Mo are about to leave, someone suddenly steps forward and speaks.
"Wait!"
Kong Xiaoxian frowns. Her "Mortal Immortal Armor" once again emits "Mortal Immortal Force," radiating an overwhelming aura. The "Giant Spirit Valkyrie" from before seems to have returned.
"Who dares to stop us from leaving?"
Sensing Kong Xiaoxian's dominance and killing intent.
The speaker quickly waves his hand, his smile becoming even more friendly and sincere.
"Junior Sister Xiaoxian, please don't misunderstand! I am not trying to stop you from leaving, but I sincerely invite you and this fellow Daoist to join our team... By the way, may I ask for this Daoist friend's esteemed name?"
The speaker is a young, handsome male cultivator with a square face and an air of righteousness between his brows.
Unlike Zhao Wuji, he doesn't carry much arrogance.
When he smiles, he reveals six neat and white teeth, introducing himself.
"Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Li Tianyi, a disciple of the Heavenly Heart Sacred Land. May I ask for this Daoist friend's esteemed name?"
Li Tianyi looks at Han Mo sincerely.
As the saying goes, a smiling face is not hit.
Han Mo replies indifferently, "Han Mo, a cultivator from the Eastern Desolate Mountains. My master's title is Dragon Rider!"
Dragon Rider?
This is Hao Ren's external title!
When you're out in the martial world, you're bound to get hurt, so you need an alias!
Hao Ren, as a professional level eight "hermit cultivator," strictly forbids Han Mo and the others from revealing his real name.
If they must say it, they should report his "alias" - "Dragon Rider"!
Why "Dragon Rider"?
Heh, it has nothing to do with "Little Dragon Girl"...
Yes, someone absolutely refuses to admit that this is a beautiful wish!
And even less likely to admit it has anything to do with "Little Dragon Girl"!
The Eastern Desolate Mountains, a remote and barren place!
"Dragon Rider," he's never even heard of it.
Li Tianyi ponders inwardly.
It seems this "Han Mo" is merely a disciple of an unknown rogue cultivator.
However, Li Tianyi does not look down on him for this. He maintains his sincere and brilliant smile.
Li Tianyi says to Han Mo.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I sincerely invite you to join our team?"
Han Mo's brows slightly furrow. He instinctively wants to refuse.
He has too many secrets. Whether it's the "One Leaf Dragon Scale Grass" or the "Sky Pushing Mirror," they are secrets that cannot be revealed.
Therefore, Han Mo does not want to team up with these people, lest he expose his secrets and bring about unnecessary disaster.
As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty when he possesses wealth!
Moreover, with people like Zhao Wuji in this team, their character is likely not good.
Once the "One Leaf Dragon Scale Grass" or the "Sky Pushing Mirror" is exposed, the entire "team" will turn against him.
Li Tianyi is a smart person, very smart.
Seeing that Han Mo is about to refuse, he quickly speaks first.
"Fellow Daoist Han, don't refuse just yet. Listen to my proposal first! Actually, I formed this team to search for the ruins of an ancient divine palace..."
Li Tianyi elaborates, explaining the "cause and effect" in detail.
It turns out that Li Tianyi accidentally obtained a "fragmentary map."
The map records that deep within the "Mystic Cave Realm" lies the "ruins of an ancient divine palace," a "legacy site" left by a super-powerful being.
If one can enter these "ancient divine palace ruins," they can activate the "legacy trial."
That ancient super-powerful being was incredibly strong. It is said that by obtaining his legacy, one has a hundred percent chance of passing the heavenly tribulation and ascending to immortality!
Ascending to immortality is the dream of all cultivators!
Li Tianyi looks at Han Mo with excitement and says.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I now formally invite you and Junior Sister Xiaoxian to join our team. We will go together to search for this ancient divine palace ruins..."
"No!"
Before Li Tianyi finishes speaking, Zhao Wuji steps forward to object.
His face is extremely ugly, and he says sinisterly.
"Tianyi, all members of our team are prodigious cultivators from various sacred lands. How can you invite a bumpkin to join?"
Li Tianyi remains unmoved. He maintains his smile, but his tone is cold and firm.
"Senior Brother Wuji, what you said is incorrect! We cultivators from the various sacred lands are no nobler than other cultivators. We are all practicing the Dao, and our status is equal, regardless of nobility or lowliness! I have already invited Fellow Daoist Han. If you have any objections, you can leave the team yourself!"
