Swish, swish!
Seeing the appearance of this man, Su Lin 'er and Xiao Bai released their aura almost at the same time. Their expressions were grave as though they were ready to make a move at any time.
"Senior, long time no see!"
However, compared to the two of them, Xing Jue wasn't nervous at all. Instead, his expression didn't change and he maintained that faint smile. Because the person in front of him was the mysterious expert who gave Xing Jue pointers previously.
"Yo? Intermediate Combat Emperor? Intermediate Spirit Artifact? "
"It seems like your companions aren't bad. However, kid, why can't I see through your strength?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and sized up Su Lin 'er and Xiao Bai before nodding to express his satisfaction. However, his eyes then stopped at Xing Jue with a smear of astonishment.
"To be honest with senior, I have a treasure that can conceal my aura. As for junior's strength, I am also an Intermediate Combat Emperor." Xing Jue answered honestly when the middle-aged man asked.
"Intermediate Combat Emperor? You actually reached the Intermediate Combat Emperor in just a few years? "
"Good! Good! Good! "
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the middle-aged man revealed an unconcealable excitement. It was as though his dream of many years was finally going to come true.
"Senior, this junior has come here as promised to help you fulfill your wish."
"I wonder if senior can tell junior how I can help you now?" Xing Jue didn't beat around the bush. He cupped his hands and asked with a smile.
Back then, this middle-aged man was willing to let Xing Jue go and impart the Supreme Sword Art to him because he hoped that Xing Jue would return to the Immortal Island and help him complete a task. By then, he would help Xing Jue obtain the treasures in the Immortal Island. Now that Xing Jue had the strength that he hoped for, it was time for him to fulfill his wish.
"Kid, you are not only talented, but also extremely intelligent."
"I think you should have guessed what my wish is."
"As you expected, I just want to break the shackles of this Immortal Island, leave this damned place, return to the mainland, and live a carefree life!" Hearing Xing Jue's question, the middle-aged man did not hide anything this time and answered truthfully. Moreover, his face was filled with yearning.
"What can I do to help you?" Xing Jue asked calmly with a smile on his face.
Just as the man had said, Xing Jue had already guessed that what he wanted was to help him leave this place. After all, a super expert like him would definitely be extremely unwilling to be imprisoned here for thousands of years.
"This method is very simple. I'll have to trouble you to go to the core of the immortal island and break the core formation of the immortal island. That way, the power that binds us will disappear and we'll be able to deal with the rest ourselves," the middle-aged man said slowly.
"The core formation of the Immortal Island? Where is it located?"
"What kind of experts are guarding it? What method should I use to break it? "After hearing the man's words, Xing Jue's expression changed slightly, and he asked solemnly.
Previously, Xing Jue had heard from the man that there were many experts guarding this Immortal Island other than him. Moreover, their strength was stronger than him. The thing that they were guarding must be the so-called core formation. Now that Xing Jue wanted to go there, he naturally had to find out everything clearly.
"I can help you open the path to the core formation. As for the protectors behind, they are the same as me. They don't want to be trapped here. The reason why they are here is because their bodies are restricted."
"Therefore, you don't need to break any formation later. After I open the path, your path will be unobstructed. As for the core formation, it isn't that mysterious. With your strength as a Mid-Stage Combat Emperor, it won't be difficult to break it." Hearing Xing Jue's question, the middle-aged man smiled and explained.
"Since all of you want to leave this place and the formation is so easy to break, why don't you do it yourself and ask for help instead?" However, at this moment, before Xing Jue could speak, Xiao Bai, who was standing at the side, asked in a stern manner.
"Haha, this girl. If we could break the formation, why would we wait until today?"
"To tell you the truth, we are no longer a complete person. In other words, we are already dead. The reason why we are able to live until today is all thanks to the owner of this Immortal Island. He used a heaven-defying method to help us be reborn in this form."
"Speaking of which, the owner of this Immortal Island is indeed our benefactor. Even though he imprisoned us here and guarded the Immortal Island for him, we are still grateful to him."
"However, there was suddenly no news of him a few thousand years ago. As the core formation that he resided in has a special restraining power against us, we are unable to enter it to find out the reason. Therefore, we can only wait."
"Even now, we still haven't seen him come out, so we suspect that he has already died in the formation. After all, his body was a little weak back then. If he has already died, there is naturally no need for us to stay here."
"Furthermore, he once told us that not only are there countless treasures hidden in the formation, there are also our corpses. As long as we obtain the corpses, we can be reborn through a special method."
"However, the core formation is simply too powerful. No matter what method we use, we are unable to enter it. Therefore, I hope that this little friend can help us."
"After this is done, all of the treasures on this Immortal Island will belong to you!" Hearing Xiao Bai's question, the middle-aged man slowly said.
"Hmph, you make it sound so easy. You are so powerful and have such powerful Spirit Artifacts. What if you don't acknowledge it when the time comes?" Xiao Bai snorted coldly. She still did not quite believe the man's words.
"Hehe, little girl, if you enter the formation, you can collect our corpses. If you destroy our corpses, we will completely disappear. How would we dare to harm you?" The middle-aged man suddenly laughed. Not only did he not have a trace of anger, he even patiently spoke to Xiao Bai.
"Senior, I wonder how many experts like you are on this Immortal Island?" At this moment, Xing Jue asked with a smile.
Because at this moment, Xing Jue had a wonderful plan in his heart. Not to mention the protectors of those positions, just the person in front of him was already extremely powerful. If Xing Jue could help them, they would naturally be grateful to Xing Jue. Even if Xing Jue asked them for help, they would not refuse. If there was such a group of experts to help him, Xing Jue would no longer be afraid of the Xuan Hall and the mysterious person.
"In addition to me, there are six other experts on this Immortal Island. They were all the top existences in the continent, and their strength was not weaker than mine."
"Especially the red-haired Monster King. Not only does he have five Middle Grade Spirit Artifacts, but he also has the strength of a High-Level Combat Emperor. Back then, he was ranked as the strongest expert on the continent along with the owner of the Immortal Island."
"At that time, we all thought that the two of them were equally strong, until …"
"Until that day, we knew that the strongest expert on this continent was the owner of the Immortal Island."
"Because, if it wasn't for him, we would have been completely dead!"
Hearing Xing Jue's question, the middle-aged man said slowly. When he mentioned the past, a look of regret appeared on his face.
"That day?"
"Senior, are you talking about the catastrophe brought about by the Heavenly Phenomenon?" After hearing the man's words, Xing Jue's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked.
"Why? You actually know about that catastrophe? "After hearing Xing Jue's words, the man was startled at first, and revealed an extremely shocked expression!
"Impossible, at that time, no one on the continent survived. Moreover, you are so young, how could you know?" However, the man quickly denied his own thoughts.
At this moment, Xing Jue couldn't help but feel excited, because the man had indirectly admitted that what killed them was the catastrophe brought about by the Heavenly Phenomenon. In other words, they were the experts that disappeared on the continent ten thousand years ago, and the so-called treasures on the Immortal Island were all the treasures accumulated on the continent ten thousand years ago.
"Senior, I naturally didn't experience that catastrophe, but now, the catastrophe has descended again." After knowing the truth of the matter, Xing Jue said with a serious expression.
"What? You said that the Heavenly Phenomenon has appeared again? " After hearing Xing Jue's words, the middle-aged man's expression instantly became ugly, as if he had recalled an extremely terrifying memory.
"Yes, senior. The Heavenly Phenomenon has appeared a long time ago, and the catastrophe will descend soon."
"The reason why I came here at this time is to obtain even more power to resist the catastrophe," Xing Jue said slowly.
"It's useless, it's useless."
"Even if you take away all the treasures here, even if we can return to the continent, we won't be able to stop them. They're too powerful, and we can't deal with them at all."
However, at this moment, that man was extremely certain in his rejection of the sentence. Moreover, a despairing expression had actually surfaced on his face.
"I've finally obtained the chance to return to the continent, but I've actually encountered the catastrophe again!
"Why is my life so bitter? Why? Why?
"Heavens, are you playing a trick on me?"
Afterwards, the middle-aged man began to mutter and roar. He seemed to have lost all hope, and his emotions began to go out of control.
"Brother Xing Jue, what should we do?" Xiao Bai moved closer to Xing Jue and whispered when she saw the man's changes.
"Could it be that the catastrophe is really so terrifying?"
At this moment, Xing Jue's face was filled with solemnity as he sank into deep thought. Because from the words of the middle-aged man and the reaction in front of him, he could feel how terrifying the catastrophe was.
Indeed, if what the man said was true, perhaps this catastrophe wasn't something that they could resist. Because not only were there a large number of mid-grade artifacts on the Immortal Island, there were also experts at the level of high-level Combat Emperors.
Looking at Xing Jue's group now, the strongest among them was only a mid-level Combat Emperor. As for mid-grade artifacts, other than Xiao Bai, only the mysterious person who posed a great threat to him had one. This lineup was not as powerful as the seniors of the Immortal Island, so how could they resist this catastrophe?
