When Xie Tian woke up, he found himself lying in a dark room.
There was no one in the room, and he was lying on the ground.
The floor was covered with wooden planks and a lot of junk. Thus, the groggy Xie Tian understood one thing: he had been saved without a care.
This was the best situation. After having this thought, he could not stay awake and fell asleep again.
Two days passed, and Xie Tian woke up for the second time. This time, he was still in a dark room. However, the wooden planks under him had turned into slightly smelly mud. Of course, he was still in the unremarkable storeroom.
Xie Tian heaved a sigh of relief. He forced himself to sit up and began to examine his injuries.
The most serious injury was still the residual power of Xie Huo's Mystical Power. This power was extremely terrifying. Even the Evil Physique could not do anything to it in a short period of time.
He knew that this was the power of an Enlightened Being's Origin Embryo. In terms of quality, it was three realms higher than True Origin.
Secondly, Xie Huo's self-destruction had worsened his injuries.
Faced with this situation, Xie Tian frowned. He was not only worried about his own injuries, but also worried about the person who had saved him. They would definitely discover something from his injuries.
How could a mere Emptiness Realm Cultivator withstand the power of an Enlightened Being's Mystical Power and survive the Enlightened Being's self-destruction?
This was a very troublesome problem. It was so troublesome that the ordinary identity he had prepared was completely useless. No ordinary person could survive such injuries.
Of course, even so, he did not regret killing Xie Huo.
He did not lie to Xie Huo. In fact, he did not really want to kill Xie Huo. As steady as he was, how could he be so arrogant as to cross three realms to kill an Enlightened Being?
Even if this Enlightened Being was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
However, he had to worry about one thing. If Xie Huo did not escape the Nine Peaks Mountain Range and fell into the hands of the She Clan, would he be exposed?
This problem could not be solved. Once Xie Huo mentioned the Five Colored Divine Light, the She Clan would immediately determine his identity. If that happened, he would be finished.
Therefore, he took the risk. If Xie Huo could escape, he would be happy to see it. If Xie Huo could not escape, it would be even better if he could kill him.
As he had expected, Xie Huo's ability to escape had disappointed him. Not only had Xie Huo easily discovered Xie Huo's whereabouts, but Xie Huo had also been forced to self-destruct. He had been very wise not to place his hopes on Xie Huo.
Xie Tian's identity was avoided from being exposed, but now he was faced with a new identity problem. He was very sure that the person who saved him was definitely someone from Yue Province, but what was his identity?
Just as he was having a headache, the door opened.
"Oh, you're awake!"
The one who pushed open the door and entered was a tall and sturdy servant girl. She didn't look very old, but her figure was like a bear. Her eyebrows were two fingers wide, and the two lumps of flesh in front of her chest almost squeezed Xie Tian's eyeballs out.
Even someone as strong as Xie Tian subconsciously moved back when he saw such a valiant servant girl.
"Haha, little chick, don't be afraid. Uncle Zhi Rou won't do anything to you."
His fan-like hand lightly patted on Xie Tian's shoulder. With a puff, Xie Tian spat out a mouthful of blood. The trace of strength that he had just recovered disappeared without a trace.
"That's enough, Zhi Rou. If you keep patting him, Miss will see a corpse."
At that moment, a crisp voice came from outside the room. Zhi Rou didn't say anything more. She lifted Xie Tian with one hand and swung him over her shoulder, then left.
Xie Tian's eyelids twitched slightly, but he quickly calmed himself down. His mind raced as he tried to think of a way to deal with this Miss that he had yet to meet.
But as soon as he left the room and glanced at the mountains in the distance, his expression changed. He forced himself to ask, "Where is this?"
"Jiuyuan Mountain Range, and it's in the Middle Province. It's where the Hong Clan is."
"I …"
Xie Tian felt like vomiting blood. Luckily, he had a strong mind. He immediately controlled his muscles and changed his appearance. He walked into a quiet and elegant room, and the black and white of his eyes became clear.
Bang!
Xie Tian, who had been thrown to the ground, looked at Zhi Rou and didn't say anything. At that moment, a gentle voice rang out, "Zhi Rou, he's injured. How could you do this?"
"Uh, Zhi Rou knows she's wrong. Miss, please punish me."
The Miss smiled helplessly. "Hurry up and help him up."
While he was being helped up, Xie Tian looked at the Miss. He noticed that she was wearing a gauze hat that covered her face. She was dressed in white and looked quite extraordinary.
"You can leave."
After the two maids left, the Miss turned around and seemed to be looking at Xie Tian. Not long after, she said, "Do you think I should ask you how you were able to resist the power of the divine power and survive within a hundred miles of the Enlightened Master's self-destruction?"
Just one sentence was enough to give Xie Tian a very clear first impression of the Miss in front of him. Terrifying.
Xie Tian was silent. The Miss was not surprised and changed the topic. "My surname is You, and I'm the third child in my family. How should I address you?"
"Wen Tian."
"Your surname is Wen?" Miss You was slightly surprised. "Are you from the Wen Clan?"
Xie Tian shook his head.
"Your attitude doesn't seem very good."
Miss You's tone did not change. It was as if she would not be angry even if Xie Tian was impolite.
After pondering for a while, she smiled reservedly. "Since you don't want to say more, then leave. As for saving you, you don't have to worry about it."
"Thank you, Miss."
If he left now, he would have to face the crazy She Clan in the Jiuyuan Mountain Range. However, Miss You had spoken, and this Miss's mind was really terrifying.
Even if this was the Hong Clan, it was better to leave.
"Oh, this little chick can actually walk by himself!"
As soon as Xie Tian's right foot stepped out of the house, a palm slapped towards him. He sighed and barely moved his body to dodge the palm. However, he staggered and fell down due to his lack of strength.
The clear eyes under the gauze hat revealed a trace of surprise because of Xie Tian's movement.
"Since Young Master's injuries are so serious, you should rest for a few more days. Don't worry, this may be the Hong Clan, but no one will disturb you."
Xie Tian had no choice but to stay. However, this time, he was not lying in a house but a quiet guest room.
"I can only stay for now. When I recover, I might have a chance to follow you to the Yue Prefecture!"
Before leaving, Xie Tian had done some rough research on the Yue Prefecture and had some understanding of the You Clan. It was one of the four major clans in the Yue Prefecture and was very powerful.
"Yue Prefecture's You Clan … why would they come to the Middle Prefecture and even stay in the Hong Clan's side courtyard?"
Xie Tian frowned slightly but did not think too much about it. He started to think about what Xie Dong had said.
Only now did he realize one thing. Although the She Clan's direct descendants cultivated according to the Evil Emperor's inheritance, no one had obtained the Evil Vein Dao Fruit in the past three thousand years.
Thus, Xie Dong, who knew him the best, guessed that he had obtained the Evil Vein Dao Fruit and wanted to take the Evil Vein for himself.
"It's the same Evil Emperor's inheritance. Why is it different?"
After thinking for a long time, there was still no conclusion. Xie Tian sighed. While he was more suspicious about the Evil Emperor's inheritance, he was also worried about his future.
"My original body is a ninth-grade spirit root and the Myriad Manifestation Physique. If I use the Evil Vein to break through to the True Essence Realm, it will be fine. If I break through to the Astral Fiend Realm and Pill Tribulation, no matter how stupid the She Clan is, they will probably be able to guess it!"
Now that the She Clan had only confirmed that he was the successor chosen by the Four General Lords, he had already caused a huge commotion in the Jin dynasty. He did not dare to imagine how crazy the She Clan would be if the Evil Vein was exposed.
"Fortunately, I came to the Yue Prefecture. Otherwise …"
Xie Tian shook his head and did not continue thinking about it. If he had the time to think about the dangers in the future, he might as well work hard to improve his strength. That was the best way to deal with it.
After getting rid of the distracting thoughts, Xie Tian started to heal his injuries. He actively controlled the small amount of forbidden power in his body and nibbled away at the remaining power of the Divine Ability.
As long as he could get rid of the power of the Divine Ability, he would only need one hour to recover under the effect of the Essence Yang Crystal.
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, there was a violent knock on the door. In Xie Tian's mind, a bear appeared subconsciously. As expected.
Bang!
"Chicken Wen, Young Lady wants you to go over. Hurry up!"
The door that was kicked away by Zhi Rou flew past Xie Tian's head and stuck into the wooden wall, making a buzzing sound.
"What's the matter?"
"The major forces of the Zhong and Yue Prefectures are here. My Young Lady wants you to go out and be a witness."
When Xie Tian heard this, his heart almost stopped beating. He quickly asked, "Witness?"
"That's right. The She Clan started a massacre, and you are the only one left alive. If you don't testify, who will?"
"I wasn't injured by the She Clan." It was rare for Xie Tian to go against his conscience and quickly declined.
"Isn't that even better? It's a good opportunity to pour dirty water on the She Clan. Fine, I'll carry you!"
