While the people of the Five Great Continents were rushing toward the West Tiger State, Wutian, the person involved, did not hide. Instead, he swaggered through the streets of Fengyang City.
Of course, Wutian only dared to do so because he had undergone some changes.
His current appearance was very different from before. His face was sallow and emaciated, like a bamboo pole.
Overall, there was no part of his body that had not changed. The only thing that remained the same was his eyes. They were still as spirited as before, shining with a shrewd and steady light.
Even Han Tian and the others, who had known Wutian for a long time, were unable to recognize him, let alone those who had only seen him in illusions.
Naturally, all of this was due to Little Wu Hao.
Wutian's purpose in coming to Phoenix City was to go to the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion to purchase a Forbidden Talisman. When he went to the West Tiger Continent, many battles were unavoidable. Furthermore, the Gutuo Temple's influence was not any weaker than the Asura Palace. Therefore, he had to be fully prepared before he went.
As for Han Tian and the others, they stayed in the Star Realm. After all, the more people there were, the more of a target. No matter how they changed, they could still be recognized.
This was especially true for the little fellow and the King Of Worms. These two beasts were unique. Now, they were equivalent to symbols of his identity. As long as they appeared, they would be exposed on the spot.
"Did you know? Wutian has become a Heaven-Defying Cultivator. I'm so jealous. If it were me, I would be willing to be hunted down by the entire world. "
"Tsk, your information is outdated. Wutian is not only a Heaven-Defying Cultivator. I heard that he slaughtered more than a hundred thousand people in Hell City. Even the children were not spared. That scene was too horrible to look at. It made one's hair stand on end!"
"He can even be so ruthless to a child. What a devil."
On the streets, wherever there were people, people were discussing Wutian's matter.
Wutian had become a household name in the Five Continents ever since Demon Emperor Shun Tian had issued a bounty order to kill a hundred thousand people in Hell City. However, his notoriety had spread far and wide.
Towards these discussions, Wutian only smiled and walked straight towards the 10,000 Treasures Pavilion.
Not long after, the Wan Bao Pavilion appeared in Wutian's line of sight. In front of the door, there were reception girls dressed in red standing side by side. Wutian's old acquaintance, Shi Jiaoyun, was still inside after seven or eight years.
Wutian walked over and smiled at her. "Miss Shi, long time no see."
"You know me?" Shi Jiaoyun was taken aback. She carefully sized up the seemingly thin and weak man in front of her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with suspicion.
"Hehe, Miss Shi is really forgetful. Fine, I'll have to trouble Miss Shi to bring me to see your pavilion's Pavilion Master, Dongfang Xiao." Wutian smiled faintly.
Shi Jiaoyun didn't say anything. She carefully looked at him for a while and found that she really didn't have any impression of him. She thought that he might be a guest she had received before. Then, she smiled and said with some difficulty, "Sorry, the Pavilion Master has never seen anyone, unless they have the Ten Thousand Treasure Token or are personally invited by the Pavilion Master."
Because from Wutian's current appearance and attire, Shi Jiaoyun could tell that this person was definitely not someone with power and influence. Since he wasn't, he definitely wouldn't have any interactions with the Pavilion Master.
"If that's the case, then I'll go in alone!" Wutian muttered to himself for a while, then smiled indifferently and walked straight in.
"Sir, please wait. Do you need this little girl to lead the way?"
After hesitating for a while, Shi Jiaoyun still decided to ask. After all, one couldn't judge a book by its cover. Many people liked to keep a low profile. If this person was such a person, wouldn't she lose a rich man?
Even if the other party was really an ordinary person, it wouldn't take much time to bring him around the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion and introduce him.
"Then I'll thank you." Wutian cupped his fists and said.
"Sir, is this the first time you've come to the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion?" Shi Jiaoyun asked as she led the way.
"I've been here a few times before." Wutian said vaguely.
Shi Jiaoyun only nodded and changed the topic, introducing everything around them.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the second floor. This was the trading place of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Wutian had been here before, but he didn't gain anything.
Shi Jiaoyun briefly introduced the place and brought Wutian to each counter one by one.
"My goodness, more than 100,000 people in Hell City were slaughtered and the entire city was destroyed. How could Wutian do this!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out.
Wutian turned his head to look and found that it was a manservant and a few guests gathered together to chat, and the exclamation was made by the manservant.
One of the fatter customers shook his head and said, "Actually, it wasn't Wutian who did it. It was the small village where Wutian lived when he was young. I think it was called Dragon Village. The fierce person who slaughtered Hell City was a villager from this Dragon Village."
After the servant heard this, he didn't hide his surprise and exclaimed, "Your sister, a villager can actually slaughter Hell City with 100,000 people. Are you joking with everyone?"
The servant's voice immediately alarmed everyone. Then, they all went over curiously.
A young man in linen clothes looked at the fatty and said in surprise, "Is what you said true? Was Hell City really destroyed by a villager from the Dragon Village? "
The fatty suddenly patted his chest and said loudly, "It's absolutely true. My cousin's cousin's nephew is an in-name disciple of the Forbidden Sect. They received this news immediately. Now, every sect has sent several experts to the West Tiger Continent to eliminate the heaven defying Wutian."
The servant exclaimed, "The Dragon Village is so f * cking awesome. A villager is so ridiculously strong. I wonder if they are still recruiting villagers. I wonder if I'm qualified enough?"
"Don't even think about it. With your looks, you're not even qualified to carry their shoes." The moment the servant said this, he was immediately despised by everyone.
"Speaking of which, this Wutian is really arrogant. He actually said that he would fight all the experts of the five continents at Gutuo Temple in the West Tiger Continent. I really don't know if he's really that awesome or just bluffing." The fatty shook his head and said.
Wutian smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was true that good news did not leave the house, but bad news spread for a thousand miles.
Thinking back, he seemed to have done a lot of good things over the years, but why didn't the world know about it? And the news of the destruction of Hell City, he had just released it not long ago, but it had already spread like wildfire. The entire city knew about it.
"Miss Shi, what's wrong?" Suddenly seeing Shi Jiaoyun's worried expression, Wutian asked in puzzlement.
Looking at Wutian, Shi Jiaoyun sighed and said softly, "To be honest, the heaven defying Wutian has shown me kindness. If it wasn't for him and his companions being generous and allowing me to have enough Profound Qi to treat my father's illness, I might have already become the concubine of some marquis clan's disciple."
"So that's how it is!" Wutian came to a realization, but he was also a little astonished. He didn't expect that his unintentional action back then would change Shi Jiaoyun's life.
"I'm weak and have no ability to help you. I can only pray in my heart that you can safely get through this calamity." Shi Jiaoyun said to herself, completely forgetting about Wutian's existence.
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had lost her composure. Her face turned red and she bowed slightly. "I've made a fool of myself."
"It's fine. On the contrary, I admire your courage. Now that Wutian is the public enemy of the five continents, not only did you not avoid suspicion, you even frankly said that you were worried for him. There aren't many people in this world who are as loyal and righteous as you. Moreover, I believe that Wutian will definitely know about your feelings."
Hearing this, Shi Jiaoyun was quite surprised and immediately smiled, "From Your Excellency's eyes, this little girl did not see any disgust for Wutian. It seems that this little girl has misjudged you. I believe that Your Excellency is not an ordinary person! May I ask how I should address you? "
"He's just a nobody, not worth mentioning. However, I really have to see Dongfang Xiao today. If you're afraid of making things difficult for him, you only need to pass on three words for me. I believe that when Dongfang Xiao hears these three words, he will not make things difficult for you."
"Three words?" Shi Jiaoyun was puzzled.
"That's right, just three words." Wutian nodded, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "These three words are …"
"Then don't run around, wait for me here." After hearing this, Shi Jiaoyun looked at Wutian suspiciously and reminded him. Then, with a head full of doubts, she walked to the first floor.
Wutian smiled faintly and quietly followed her.
…
"Are you sure that the three words he asked you to pass on are ten million?"
After the reception hall on the first floor, there was a private room about ten feet in size. The interior was quite simple, with only four or five wooden chairs and a tea table neatly placed in a corner. There were no decorations on the walls, making it look particularly simple.
On one of the wooden chairs sat a young man with a folding fan in his hand. This person was the pavilion master here, Dongfang Xiao.
However, at this moment, Dongfang Xiao's face was no longer as calm as before. His expression was full of shock and doubt.
"I'm sure."
In front of Dongfang Xiao, Shi Jiaoyun stood respectfully. She seemed to be very afraid of the person in front of her. She didn't even dare to look directly at him. She lowered her head and only responded softly.
"You're really bold. You actually dared to swagger into the Wanbao Pavilion." Dongfang Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't even need to think to know who the person who said ten million was.
"Pavilion Master Dongfang's eyes are sharp, don't you know my character? I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that can make me afraid! "
Before he finished speaking, a voice sounded from outside the door. Then, the door creaked open and a thin man with a yellow face strode in.
This person was naturally Wutian. He didn't want to waste too much time, so he directly followed Shi Jiaoyun and came here.
"Why did you come here yourself? Didn't I tell you to wait for me outside?" Shi Jiaoyun saw this and her expression suddenly changed. She hurried forward and wanted to drive Wutian out.
"Don't be rude, he is our pavilion's distinguished guest." Dongfang Xiao's face darkened. He immediately stood up and shouted, "You go out first."
"Pavilion Master's distinguished guest?"
Shi Jiaoyun was stunned and immediately bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize Mount Tai before. Not only did I not bring you to see the pavilion master, but I also spoke out to stop you …"
"It's fine."
Wutian smiled faintly and patted her shoulder, indicating that she shouldn't be nervous. He then looked at Dongfang Xiao and smiled, "Miss Shi's service attitude is quite good. I feel that it is a waste of her talent to be a reception girl. I wonder if Pavilion Master Dongfang can give me some face and let her do something else?"
