He did not refute the dagger's words; he knew exactly how much his strength differed from the previous two Martial Saints.
"Who dares to cause trouble in the city?"
Suddenly, a voice bellowed from the sky.
Everyone looked towards the direction of the sound, and soon, a figure appeared in the sky.
Seeing the aura emanating from the figure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They were thrilled to see that a Martial Saint Expert had taken action!
Although the other party was just a Martial Saint Expert, for the people inside the city, this expert's intervention was like timely rain after a long drought.
"If you're not convinced, come up here and teach me a lesson! I don't like others whining in front of me, if you have the guts, come up, if not, just get lost!"
The next moment, everyone heard a crisp voice.
Hearing that crisp voice, everyone gasped, marveling at the audacity of the two Martial Saints.
The Martial Saint staying in mid-air was an elder of Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect. He had sensed trouble in the city and had come out from his seclusion.
Upon investigating, he found out that two Martial Saints had trapped the son of the local City Lord, and now those two Martial Saints were confronting the City Lord's Imperial Guard in the Red Flower Restaurant.
The anomaly in the sky was caused by those two Martial Saints.
After gathering this information, the Martial Saint immediately hurried over.
Soon, the Martial Saint located the Red Flower Restaurant and confirmed there really were two Martial Saints.
Moreover, these two Martial Saints seemed very young.
But after probing for a while, he confirmed that the two were indeed genuine Martial Saints.
Thus, the Martial Saint stood out, wanting to know the truth.
However, to his surprise, as soon as he asked, he was met with Zhao Wuji's scolding.
That Martial Saint, accustomed to living comfortably, had never been insulted like this. Despite the presence of two Martial Saints, he felt his strength was far superior; he flashed into a streak of light and charged forward rapidly.
"Perfect timing!"
Zhao Wuji sneered, his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul immediately erupted, and his Magic Power exploded.
At this moment, the advancing Martial Saint's expression drastically changed, he gasped, sensing the genuine Demon Path aura erupting from the Martial Saint ahead.
His body forcefully stopped in mid-air; he did not advance immediately, but stayed hovering.
Initially, the City Lord, upon hearing the Martial Saint's shout, was overjoyed, secretly hoping for the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect's Martial Saint to fight against the two Martial Saints.
As soon as they started fighting, he could benefit from their conflict.
Moreover, he eagerly anticipated the arrival of more high-level experts from the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, which could then rescue his son.
He believed the numerous experts from Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect wouldn't fear two Martial Saints; after all, the sect had at least hundreds of Martial Saint level experts from across Jiuzhou Continent.
"May I ask, are you a person of the Demon Path?"
The elder from Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect cautiously inquired.
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, and many immediately felt fear,
"If you think I am, then come up here immediately, if you think I'm not, just get lost! I'll say it again, if you have the guts, come up, if not, just scram!"
Zhao Wuji coldly responded.
Although Zhao Wuji did not give a clear response, the elder had already realized that the Martial Saint in front likely belonged to the Demon Cultivators.
He extended his Divine Sense to probe for a while, and after a moment, he rapidly retreated hundreds of meters.
Then, he pulled out a flare from his storage ring.
Next, he pulled the launcher of the flare.
With a loud bang, a dazzling fiery orb lit up the sky, emitting a pale blue flame.
Some nearby disciples from Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect recognized the fiery orb, immediately understanding that a Martial Saint from their sect was summoning them.
Thus, those disciples quickly appeared beside the Martial Saint.
After a while, those from Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect received a secret message from the Martial Saint, and dispersed to guard the surroundings.
Their task was to prevent the two Demon Cultivators from escaping, while on the other hand, the Martial Saint had reported the matter to the Sect Leader of Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.
Soon, a group of elders from Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect knew that a Demon Cultivator had appeared in a nearby city, this Demon Cultivator's cultivation was at least at the Martial Saint realm.
Therefore, the elders of Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, led by the Sect Leader, swiftly rushed to that city.
Meanwhile, at the top floor of the restaurant, Zhao Wuji nonchalantly drank tea.
He glanced briefly at Duan Gujin and Qing Lian, asking, "Would you two like to go over there and catch up?"
"Sure!"
Duan Gujin immediately responded.
Qing Lian's face showed no expression.
Then, Duan Gujin immediately pulled Qing Lian to the corner.
He looked at Qing Lian, grabbed her hand, and asked, "Qing Lian, what's going on here, tell me!"
Qing Lian sighed and said, "I told you before about my brother who died of illness, remember?"
"Remember!"
Duan Gujin nodded vigorously.
"He has been resurrected in my deceased brother's body!"
Qing Lian said softly.
Hearing this news, Duan Gujin gasped; he did not expect Zhao Wuji to end up resurrected in the body of Qing Lian's deceased brother.
"How is that possible? Then who has taken over his previous body?"
Duan Gujin curiously asked.
"I asked him before, and he said that he was just a wandering spirit!"
Qing Lian said.
Duan Gujin gasped; he had not expected such an outcome.
He already knew this life would be different from the last, but he never imagined Zhao Wuji would be resurrected in a body that had already died.
"No wonder you were ignoring me before!"
Duan Gujin sighed, saying.
"What difference would paying attention to you make!"
Qing Lian said helplessly.
"Yes!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered; he knew Zhao Wuji must have heard their entire conversation.
Therefore, he did not say anything inappropriate.
"What's the deal with Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?"
He curiously asked.
"It is an Immortal from the Immortal Domain taking action!"
Qing Lian replied.
"So that's how it is!"
Duan Gujin exhaled, confident in Zhao Wuji's capabilities to avoid the strike from the Immortal Domain Immortals.
Even if an Immortal from the Immortal Domain intervened, they would still be influenced by the rules of power on the Jiuzhou Continent.
Thus, even if an Immortal from the Immortal Domain personally came to the Jiuzhou Continent, they couldn't unleash all their immortal power completely.
Once an Immortal truly erupted all their immortal power, it would lead to a massive collapse on the Jiuzhou Continent, and that acting Immortal would be subjected to the punishment of the Power of Cause and Effect and the Heavenly Dao.
Even such punishments would extend to the Immortal Domain.
Therefore, Immortals from the Immortal Domain could only act specifically against Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.
Because they are restrained by Heavenly Dao, the Power of Cause and Effect, and the Rule Power, though the Immortal from the Immortal Domain acted fiercely, Zhao Wuji still managed to escape it.
"He even told me that he had taken revenge against the Immortal from the Immortal Domain who acted against him!"
Qing Lian spoke softly.
"Oh!"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, believing that Zhao Wuji was fully capable of doing so.
"Did he do anything to you?"
Duan Gujin probed.
"He said I was his sister in my last life! He wouldn't harm me!"
Qing Lian answered.
"Sister?"
"Yes!"
Duan Gujin finally understood the relationship between Qing Lian and Zhao Wuji.
A million expletives stormed through his mind; he had thought he would battle Zhao Wuji for hundreds or even tens of thousands of rounds in this lifetime, but he had not expected to become his brother-in-law!
"This is really too messy!"
He thought to himself.
Of course, he did not believe he really was Zhao Wuji's brother-in-law.
15 minutes later, he sensed many Martial Saint experts appearing outside.
Using Divine Sense, he quickly detected many warriors from Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect outside, including the Sect Leader Chu Wanglou of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.
Chu Wanglou extended his Divine Sense, and soon he saw Duan Gu around those Demon Cultivators.
Confusion flickered through Chu Wanglou's heart, puzzled why Duan Gu would be with those Demon Cultivators.
"Could it be that Duan Gu is also one of the Demon Cultivators?"
This thought inadvertently crossed his mind.
"The person below, the Sect Leader of Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, Chu Wanglou. May I ask what brings this friend of the Demon Path here?"
Chu Wanglou called out loudly.
Upon hearing Chu Wanglou's shout, it was then the crowd below realized the Sect Leader of Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect had appeared.
In their hearts, the Sect Leader Chu Wanglou of Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect was a high and mighty figure who was as elusive as a dragon.
Among the crowd below, the happiest was the local City Lord.
"Great! My son is saved!"
The City Lord thought joyously.
"So it's the Sect Leader of Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, pardon my rudeness! My name is Zhao Wuji, have you heard of it?"
Zhao Wuji stated indifferently.
Upon hearing his name, Chu Wanglou's expression drastically changed, and he was inwardly alarmed.
He immediately recalled the divine instructions from the Divine World that the Divine and the Immortal Domain should seek Zhao Wuji in the Jiuzhou Continent.
That instant, he realized that Zhao Wuji must be a Demon Cultivator with terrifying power.
Especially after seeing the dreadful state of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain's destruction, he regarded Zhao Wuji as a great demon, whom both the Divine World and the Immortal Domain wanted dead.
The unimaginably powerful demon that both the Divine World and the Immortal Domain sought to kill!
"I have heard of it!"
Chu Wanglou replied indifferently, forcing himself to calm down.
"By the shadow of the tree, known by its name, those who know my name should just stand aside and listen to my commands!"
Zhao Wuji said.
The crowd of Martial Saints from the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect heard Zhao Wuji's words and immediately burst into rage, seething inside.
They all wanted to strike Zhao Wuji, but Chu Wanglou stopped them.
"Don't be reckless!"
Chu Wanglou exhaled, asking, "May I know what instruction this friend has?"
Zhao Wuji said, "I ask you, does Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect have a connection with any Immortal Sect in the Divine World, like Qingtian Immortal Sect?"
Everyone perked up their ears upon hearing this.
"Yes!"
Chu Wanglou answered honestly.
"No wonder, no wonder!" Zhao Wuji quickly responded.
"Then, does your Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect have a pathway to enter the Divine World?"
Zhao Wuji asked.
"We don't. We only have a teleportation array that allows some basic communication with Qingtian Immortal Sect!"
Chu Wanglou replied.
"Does Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect really not have a channel to enter the Divine World?" Zhao Wuji asked again.
"We don't now. We used to have it, but for some reason, those channels were closed by the Divine beings of the Divine World!"
Chu Wanglou answered honestly.
"I see! It seems very likely that it was the Divine World that forcibly closed all the channels!"
Zhao Wuji's eyes flickered as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately started guessing the identity of this Demon Cultivator.
From the dialogue between Chu Wanglou and the Demon Cultivator, they surmised that this Demon Cultivator might indeed be someone from the Upper Realm, yet they couldn't understand why a Demon Cultivator would think of entering the Divine World.
"May I ask why do you want to trouble these ordinary people?"
Chu Wanglou ventured to ask.
"I'm not troubling them; these five people deserve to die! They have killed many innocent people, and my killing them is merely carrying out justice on behalf of Heaven!" Zhao Wuji replied indifferently.
