Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 995: Chapter 44: Backing and Resentment (Part 2)

It’s unclear whether intentionally or unintentionally, but among the surrounding cultivators, someone said: “It’s just a fox borrowing a tiger’s might kind of device. Even if one has fought the Parasitic Race, it still shows a red light…”

Zhu Xiao instantly understood; this was a setup against her.

Though she didn’t know the motive, she wouldn’t sit idly by.

“Make way!”

Qian Liu’s expression changed instantly, and he said, “Fellow Daoist, are you thinking of resisting? The matter with the Parasitic Race is no small issue. Some cultivators might not even realize they’re parasitized. If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility…”

However, before he could finish, he was interrupted again.

“I’m saying it again, make way.” Zhu Xiao’s voice turned cold, and she intended to bypass directly.

“It seems Fellow Daoist is unwilling to cooperate. Hei Lao, there’s a fellow Daoist here who seems to be violating the regulations!”

As soon as Qian Liu spoke, the onlookers were extremely wary, and many left secretly, including the one who stated the truth.

Soon, a Saint of the Eleventh Realm appeared.

The terrifying aura spread out.

Although Zhu Xiao was close to the Eleventh Realm, she had not yet reached it, and the disparity in strength was huge.

She was suppressed almost instantly.

“Hei Lao, this fellow Daoist has the suspicion of being parasitized by the Parasitic Race and is trying to resist. Capture her and interrogate her properly!”

“Understood!”

Zhu Xiao understood; soft tactics were ineffective, now they were coming hard-handed.

She didn’t know why she was targeted.

But she had no time to think about it now.

So—

“Wang Sheng!”

Without any hesitation, she chose to call for aid, shouting inwardly.

Against the Eleventh Realm, with her current strength, she could somewhat resist.

But merely so, she would most likely lose eventually.

Moreover, she believed that someone so presumptuous must have their own backing.

Just one Eleventh Realm wouldn’t be enough.

If so, having Wang Sheng come would be the best choice.

Embarrassing as it might be, but safer.

Meanwhile, Wang Sheng, who was cultivating, instantly sensed the call and plea for help.

Ordinarily, casual calls have no effect on him.

Only those close to him could make him react.

Instantly, his gaze fell.

He discerned the situation.

“Such audacity!”

He felt somewhat angry.

At this time, Qian Liu already had an expression of smug satisfaction. Looking at Zhu Xiao, he said, “Fellow Daoist, I told you not to resist, why do you go this far?”

Zhu Xiao, not silenced, already connected with Wang Sheng, was not worried at all: “Aren’t you afraid of being reckoned with?”

“Hahaha, you should ask them here, who dares to reckon with me?”

All the onlookers lowered their heads.

Qian Liu laughed even louder, then looked at Zhu Xiao: “Or perhaps you, Zhu Xiao, would? You can’t even protect yourself and yet talk about reckoning, hahaha, Hei Lao, take her away.”

Zhu Xiao’s expression changed when her name was directly called without her having introduced herself.

Evidently, she had been targeted for some time.

Her mind was racing, wondering why she was targeted.

As for her safety, she wasn’t worried.

Presumably, Wang Sheng had already noticed.

Indeed, just as Zhu Xiao speculated, after Qian Liu instructed Hei Lao, Hei Lao remained completely motionless, and simultaneously, Zhu Xiao regained her freedom.

Qian Liu then saw Hei Lao inactive, shouted again: “Hei Lao, what are you doing, hurry up.”

Clearly, he no longer even pretended, bossily ordering.

Yet no matter how he instructed, Hei Lao did not act.

Or rather, simply couldn’t.

Qian Liu sensed something amiss and noticed Zhu Xiao regaining her freedom.

“What did you do, let me tell you, my ancestor is the Qian Jie Saint Emperor. If you do anything to me, you’ll…”

This sentence was also cut off, interrupted again with: “What will happen?”

This time, it wasn’t Zhu Xiao interrupting but Wang Sheng.

Most cultivators hadn’t seen Wang Sheng, but Wang Sheng never intentionally concealed his appearance, and there was no lack of people who knew his face by chance, and at the scene, there was one.

Thus, the moment he appeared, he was recognized by the cultivators present: “True Saint!”

Lifeless True Saint!

In the starry sky, known by all.

The title of the First Saint Emperor could not be ignored.

With this cry of “True Saint,” there was instant silence.

They were shocked internally.

No one expected the First Saint Emperor, Lifeless True Saint, to appear here.

Moreover, it seemed he was here to support the cultivator named Zhu Xiao.

’With such a background, why be like us ordinary cultivators…’

At this point, Qian Liu was rendered speechless with fear.

His thoughts aligned with those of the surrounding onlookers.

He had investigated a lot of information but never knew Zhu Xiao had a connection with the Lifeless True Saint.

Of course, this wasn’t entirely his fault.

The cultivators from the Source Star entered the Central Star under the Saint Emperor’s leadership.

Moreover, the Central Star feared the Devouring Sect learning of Zhu Xiao and others’ connection with the Lifeless True Saint, using it to threaten their strongest force, so it was all kept hidden.

Not to mention this Tenth Realm Qian Liu, even most Saint Emperors didn’t know.

Faced with such a situation.

Even someone at the Tenth Realm couldn’t stop their cold sweat.

“True Saint…”

Regrettably, he still couldn’t finish his words.

Thus, the Qian Jie Saint Emperor appeared.

Many watched Wang Sheng’s actions.

Once he appeared, other Saint Emperors noticed, and knowing what happened, they immediately informed the Qian Jie Saint Emperor.

“Beast, silence yourself.” Qian Jie Saint Emperor directly interrupted Qian Liu, then looked at Wang Sheng, speaking with fear and reverence, “True Saint, it was my lack of strict guidance that led to this incident. I will certainly provide you with a satisfactory answer.”
