The moment Wu Shang's name rang out, Xie Tian appeared between the two of them and blocked You Xiao Chan, who was charging towards Wu Shang.
"Move!"
At this moment, You Xiao Chan was like an enraged tigress. The gentleness and kindness in her beautiful eyes were no longer there. Instead, they were filled with intense cruelty and viciousness. Xie Tian's heart trembled because of this.
"I'm Wu Shang."
Wu Shang returned to his senses and smiled. "I know who you are, Yue Province's Zhuge Zhuge, You Xiao Chan. You're not bad."
"You're not fit to call me by my name! Let me go! I'm going to kill this animal!"
You Xiao Chan cried tears of blood as she screamed. She tried to break free from Xie Tian, but Xie Tian gently held her back, preventing her from advancing.
"Xiao Chan, I'm begging you!"
You Xiao Chan broke down and cried. Xie Tian couldn't bear it and sighed. "I can't beat him."
He was telling the truth. Even when Wu Shang was unconscious, he couldn't get close. Now that Wu Shang was awake, he could probably kill the two of them with a single breath.
This was the best answer for his current status, but Wu Shang was stunned. "You want to fight me?"
Xie Tian speechlessly looked at Wu Shang. Please, Lord Wu Shang, I'm a spy, and I'm taking the risk of being exposed to help you clean up your mess. Please don't make things difficult for me, okay?
"You really can't beat me." Wu Shang also reacted and said to You Xiao Chan embarrassedly, "He didn't lie to you. Even the two of you together won't be enough."
Can't you just say he didn't lie to you?
Xie Tian sighed, understanding Wu Shang a bit more.
"Xiao Chan, I want to go out!"
"There's Rakshasa everywhere outside. We'll definitely die if we go out."
"Xiao Chan, are you afraid of death?"
"Yes."
"Then you hide. I'll go lure the Rakshasa over and kill Wu Shang. In my next life, Xiao Chan will do anything to repay you."
Wu Shang evaluated his own state and seriously interrupted, "Unless there's a three-headed Rakshasa King, I can kill him."
"Wow!"
You Xiao Chan completely collapsed. She spat out a mouthful of dark red blood and fell powerlessly into Xie Tian's arms, unconscious.
Gently placing You Xiao Chan down, Xie Tian casually laid down a restriction before walking towards Wu Shang. Cupping his fists, he said, "Subordinate Xie Tian greets Lord Wu Shang."
"Yes, yes."
Ever since he had screwed himself over in the Apocalypse Empire's military headquarters, Wu Shang had been a bit nervous when he faced Xie Tian alone. His eyes darted around, and when he saw You Xiao Chan's face, he fell into a daze once more.
Seeing this, Xie Tian sighed inwardly.
He had gone to the Physique Sect with the intention of investigating this matter, but in front of Wu Shang, he couldn't bring himself to ask. After all, this was someone else's private matter, and he was just an ordinary soldier under Wu Shang's command.
"They really look alike!"
Wu Shang sighed, but due to the sorrow in his heart, he spat out a mouthful of golden blood.
Xie Tian was shocked. "Master Wu Shang, are you alright?"
"I …" Wu Shang thought for a moment and said softly, "probably won't be able to go back."
Wu Shang wasn't lying. In the previous battle, he had fought against more than forty Rakshasa Kings and had been heavily injured.
Then, he had used the divine halberd to head south. As an outsider, he had used it to activate the divine halberd, which could only be used by those with the imperial bloodline, to kill the remaining Rakshasa Kings. All the meridians in his body had been severed.
In the end, he had barely managed to break through the void to escape, but the spatial turbulence caused by the divine halberd had given him another fatal blow.
This blow had been the straw that broke the camel's back, destroying the last sliver of life he had left.
The only reason he had regained consciousness now was because of the final radiance of a setting sun.
"Dying in Yuezhou is good too!"
After saying this, Xie Tian noticed that the Yang energy in Wu Shang's body was rapidly disappearing, just like the first cultivator he had personally killed on Anlan Mountain.
Even if Wu Shang's Yang energy was as thick as a mountain, he wouldn't be able to last more than a few days.
"No, no!"
Xie Tian's heart was filled with fear. Although the two of them were just superiors and subordinates, he regarded Wu Shang as his master.
After that, Wu Shang had taken care of him many times, and he was filled with gratitude towards Wu Shang. But now, he had to watch Wu Shang die. His heart ached, and his eyes were moist.
"Lord Wu Shang, you won't die!"
Seeing that Xie Tian had become emotional, Wu Shang felt very comfortable in his heart, and that trace of uneasiness had also disappeared. He glanced at Xie Tian's robe and said with surprise, "You found the way!"
"I went to the Body Sect, climbed the Minor Ascension Peak, and entered the ancient realm!"
Xie Tian quickly told his story, but he was frantically thinking about how to save Wu Shang. He didn't notice that Wu Shang was already dumbfounded, and his eyeballs were about to fall out.
"Reaching the peak of the Minor Ascension Peak … then didn't he also obtain the Heaven Weep Heaven Weep?"
"Entered the ancient realm. Master and I have both entered the ancient realm, but we didn't obtain anything!"
"Read the first four levels of the Body Refining Pagoda, created the Solitary Man, and can control the forbidden power, which is comparable to the supreme inheritance in the Great Ascension Peak!"
"Protect You Xiao Chan on the inheritance plank path, and use it to break the Strength Rune Seed formed by the forbidden power!"
Even if his cultivation was four levels higher than Xie Tian's, he could kill him with just a breath. At this moment, Wu Shang had an urge to kowtow.
Because other than reaching the peak of the Minor Ascension Peak, he couldn't do any other heaven-defying thing. His master, You Zhuo, couldn't do it either!
What did this mean?
It meant that he and his father weren't wrong. Xie Tian was the most likely person to continue on the path of body refinement!
"I got it!"
Xie Tian's eyes lit up, and he cried out involuntarily. Wu Shang woke up from his infinite surprise and asked, "What is it? What is this?"
"This is the Dao Palace's Resurrection Elixir. There are only nine of them in the entire Dao Palace. His Majesty helped me extort them. Lord Wu Shang, please quickly refine them!"
After saying this, Xie Tian threw the Resurrection Elixir to Wu Shang, and then took out another item. "This is the Imperishable Lotus Seed. It can extend one's life for a thousand years!"
"This is the Resurrection Elixir. What are you going to do if you give it to me?" Wu Shang asked calmly, suppressing the waves of shock in his heart.
Xie Tian was stunned. "I don't need it."
Who wouldn't need such a heaven-defying life-saving item?
Wu Shang took a deep breath and tried to raise his head. He swallowed the Resurrection Elixir, and at the same time, for the first time in a thousand years, he was moved to tears.
"Qing 'er, wait for me a little longer. I want to see him shatter the void with my own eyes!"
In just a moment, the Yuanyang in Wu Shang's body had stabilized, and then it surged. All the injuries on his body healed quickly, and only then did the black light covering his body disappear without a sound.
"As expected of the Resurrection Elixir!"
Xie Tian let out a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but grin. Being able to save Wu Shang's life was also the greatest satisfaction and gratification for him.
After an incense stick's worth of time, Wu Shang stood up. Xie Tian was directly smashed into the bottom of the cave by his aura.
"I'm sorry," Wu Shang said awkwardly.
Xie Tian speechlessly struggled out of the cliff wall and walked back.
The two of them sat in silence.
Finally, Wu Shang stood up and sighed.
"I'll send you off."
"Okay!"
Xie Tian was delighted. He hurriedly put away the restrictions, carried You Xiao Chan on his back, and followed Wu Shang out of the cave.
Wu Shang's speed was so fast that even without shattering the void, he only needed an incense stick's worth of time to arrive outside Heavenly Mist City.
"Although that brat Xia Yi isn't bad, you have to be careful in the Body Sect. Don't expose your identity."
This was the first time in a thousand years that Wu Shang was so concerned about someone. Xie Tian nodded.
"I'm leaving."
"See you off, Lord Wu Shang."
Just as Wu Shang was about to move, he turned to look at You Xiao Chan, a complicated look in his eyes. Then, he threw out a sentence that left Xie Tian dumbfounded, punched through the void, and left.
"Treat her well. On the day of her marriage, I want to drink a cup of wine."
Xie Tian was stunned for a long time before he pretended not to hear. He looked at the closing black hole and praised, "As expected of the Space Splitting Divine Body. You can shatter the void and travel billions of miles in an instant!"
Sighing, Xie Tian shook his head bitterly. He could pretend not to hear those words, but could he pretend not to see the person on his back?
"Subject Wu Shang greets Your Majesty!"
Wu Shang immediately returned to Tian Qi City and went to the imperial study to greet Shenshao.
Shenshao glanced at Wu Shang and smiled. "Not bad. You came back alive."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject was on the verge of death. It was Xie Tian who used a Resurrection Pill to save me!"
"I know."
Wu Shang was startled. He didn't understand how Shenshao knew about something that happened billions of miles away.
"Go!"
"Yes."
After Wu Shang left, the Divine Emperor walked to the window and looked at Shen Ji in the imperial garden with a gratified expression.
"You don't blame Wu Shang for giving away his inheritance and even used a Resurrection Pill to save me. Ji 'er, do you like this kind of person?"
Neither Xie Tian nor Wu Shang could have predicted that when Xie Tian's clone was in the depths of the Dao Palace and had yet to take the Resurrection Pill, Shen Shao had already thought of using the pill to test Xie Tian's temperament.
He wanted to use the number one God of Slaughter in the Nine States to test a person who was afraid of death with a treasure that could bring the dead back to life.
The purpose of the test was for Shen Ji.
He was very satisfied.
