Longxue Villa, lobby.
An old man with gray hair and green clothes sat on the main seat, enjoying the delicious food of Longxue Villa.
Beneath the main seat, a middle-aged man in black stood respectfully in the center of the hall, seemingly waiting for the instructions of the old man in green.
"When will your owner arrive?"
Picking up a piece of spirit beast meat from the table and putting it into his mouth, the old man in green said nonchalantly.
The quality of the spirit beast meat in the Dragon Snow Villa is too poor. If it weren't for the fact that the Dragon Snow Villa is very likely to have the information I need, I would not have come to this shabby place.
Hearing the words of the green-clothed old man, the middle-aged man in black in the center of the hall immediately clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to you, Senior, Qixue City is only thirty miles away from here. With Xiao Ling's speed, a round trip would only take half an hour."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you for another incense stick." Putting down the chopsticks that had taken a few bites of the spirit beast meat, the old man in green clothes threatened impatiently, "If after one incense stick, I still haven't seen your manor master, then your Dragon Snow Mountain Manor will no longer have any reason to exist."
"Don't worry, senior. Our owner will definitely arrive on time."
The middle-aged man in black clasped his fists and sighed silently in his heart.
I don’t know whether the reinforcements that the owner of the villa has called for can save our Longxue Villa.
"Boss, we're at Longxue Villa."
After a long journey of two incense sticks of time, a manor embedded in the hillside appeared in Di Jiu's sight.
"Master, you're back?"
After crossing the obstacles at the foot of the mountain, a middle-aged man who had been waiting there for a long time suddenly came to meet them.
"Who is this?"
Looking at the man in the bamboo hat behind Ling Xiao, the middle-aged man immediately looked at Ling Xiao expectantly.
"This is my boss." Ling Xiao reached out and patted the middle-aged man's shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry, in front of the boss, that old guy is nothing."
"Ling Lu, the Earth-level assassin from Longxue Villa, greets you, sir."
After hearing Ling Xiao say that the man in the bamboo hat was his boss, Ling Lu was suddenly shocked and quickly saluted Di Jiu.
As one of the core members of Longxue Villa, he knew that Longxue Villa had taken refuge with a powerful person in the Venerable Realm.
"No need to be so polite." Emperor Jiu raised his eyes from under his bamboo hat and said, "Take me up the mountain first. Your 'customer' has been waiting for so long, and he must be getting a little impatient."
"Yes, sir."
Ling Lu bowed respectfully and replied "yes", then turned around and led the way towards the manor.
Inside the hall, an old man in green knocked on the table impatiently and said to the middle-aged man in black in the center of the hall, "Why hasn't your owner returned yet? Did that cunning boy abandon you and run away alone?"
Hearing the words of the old man in green, the middle-aged man in black's body stiffened slightly.
But then, he said in a firm tone: "Please rest assured, senior, Xiao Ling was raised by me. He is very honest and will not do anything like abandoning us and running away."
Slamming the table with his right hand, the old man in green said angrily, "I don't care whether that boy is honest or not. I only know that you have wasted too much time."
"Old man, you seem to be in a hurry."
Just as the old man in green was about to get angry, a teasing voice came from outside the hall.
"who?"
The sharp eyes were like knives, the exploding sound was like thunder, and a pair of silver-white chopsticks shot out the door like an arrow.
"clang!"
The sharp sword finger shot out, an attack containing the power of a grandmaster, but was easily resolved by Emperor Jiu into nothingness.
"Well, well, well, no wonder you are so kind and considerate to me. It turns out you have someone to rely on."
Seeing that his attack had no effect, the old man in green immediately understood that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
"Are you the owner of Longxue Mountain Villa?" After taking a look at Di Jiu's clothes, the old man in green said disdainfully, "Since you're here, why are you being so sneaky? Are you ashamed to be seen?"
"Haha, it's just a personal preference." The words of the old man in green made Emperor Jiu chuckle. He looked at the old man in green and said, "But you, old man, what do you mean by this?"
Di Jiu shook the chopsticks that were broken into two pieces in his hand, and the neat cut looked like it was cut by a sharp sword.
"I don't have time to argue with you about these trivial matters. I want to ask you, where is the soul beast I asked you to find?"
As if he had lost his patience in communicating, the old man in green summoned the spiritual sword in his body and pointed it at Emperor Jiudao.
"Grandmaster Peak?" Sensing the aura emanating from the green-clothed old man, Emperor Jiu chuckled and said, "I thought you had some special abilities, but I didn't expect you to actually want to use soul crystals to break through to the Venerable Realm."
"You actually know about soul crystals?" The old man in green looked at Emperor Jiu in surprise and said with certainty, "It seems that the soul beast I was looking for was killed by you."
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Emperor Jiu had a smile on his face, as if he didn't take the words of the old man in green seriously at all.
The old man in green reached out and brushed the blade, a bloodthirsty smile on his face as he said, "Hand over the soul crystal, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, you and your Dragon Snow Villa will be wiped out."
"If you want soul crystals, then follow me."
As soon as Emperor Jiu finished speaking, he suddenly moved and headed down the mountain.
He only had some guesses about Emperor Jiu's current combat capability. A martial artist at the peak of the Grandmaster realm would be just the right person to let him know what his real combat capability was.
"Playing tricks."
Seeing that the man in the bamboo hat was only relying on his physical strength and body skills to move, the old man in green snorted coldly and quickly followed him.
"Is this the place you chose for your burial?"
Following the footsteps of the man in the bamboo hat, the old man in green clothes rushed all the way and came to a canyon surrounded by mountains on both sides.
"I told you to follow me, so you followed me." Quickly taking in the surroundings, Emperor Jiu chuckled and said, "I have to say, you have a really big heart."
"You talk too much."
The silver-white blade roared, and the old man in green jumped up and slashed fiercely towards the position where Emperor Jiu was.
"Good to come."
With his feet sinking slightly, Emperor Jiu met the attack of the old man in green and punched out fiercely.
"Five Elements, Dragon Drill Fist."
"hold head high!"
The sound of a dragon's roar was heard, and a green dragon composed purely of fist wind roared out, colliding fiercely with the silver-white long sword of the old man in green.
"clang!"
The silver-white blade trembled slightly, the old man in green's pupils shrank, and he quickly increased his control over the blade.
As expected, even though I am unable to mobilize spiritual power now, my combat power is still above that of a grandmaster.
Taking in the changes in expression on the green-clothed old man's face, Emperor Jiu quickly made a basic estimate of his own combat effectiveness.
