Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Shi Ji did not refuse. He knew that the Yin-Yang Fruit was extremely potent and that taking it should allow him to recover from his injuries quickly.

He took the fruit and said to Xia Yurou with a smile, "Thank you, Yurou."

Xia Yurou smiled slightly, then asked, "Where is my brother Xia Yunfeng now?"

Shi Ji hesitated for a moment, but still told Xia Yurou about Xia Yunfeng's situation. After listening, Xia Yurou frowned and pondered, saying, "Uncle Xia's death seems to be inextricably linked to those corpses."

In fact, Shi Ji did not explain the specific details of Xia Yunfeng's death to Xia Yurou. After all, Xia Yufu was still in critical condition, and if she revealed everything, the matter would be impossible to keep secret.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Xia Yufu finally flew out of the lake. She looked very unwell, indicating that she had endured immense pressure while in the lake.

“Let’s leave here,” Shi Ji said, stepping forward.

"Mm." Xia Yufu nodded gently, and then flew out quickly with Shi Ji, heading towards the outer edge of the lake.

However, just as they were about to fly out of the lake's range, a deep roar suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Immediately afterwards, a ferocious beast, entirely white, appeared in their sight. It was the very beast that had fought Shi Ji before!

The beast's aura remained terrifying, causing Shi Ji to frown.

He dared not delay and quickly flew away with Xia Yufu. However, the ferocious beast was extremely fast and caught up in the blink of an eye.

The ferocious beast opened its gaping maw and lunged at Shi Ji and Xia Yufu. Seeing this, Shi Ji quickly drew her stone sword and swung it at the beast's head. The stone sword collided with the beast's head, sparks flying everywhere.

The ferocious beast was blasted back hundreds of meters, while Shi Ji and Xia Yufu took the opportunity to rush into the depths of the mountains.

However, the ferocious beast did not give up; it roared and pounced again. This time, Shi Ji summoned the Nine Dragon Demon Pearls. Nine enormous energy orbs instantly condensed and then rapidly bombarded the beast.

Nine enormous energy spheres exploded in mid-air, their destructive power tearing through the void. The ferocious beast roared repeatedly, but could only quickly dodge the attacks of the nine energy spheres.

However, it did not give up and attacked Shiji again.

Just then, Xia Yufu also unleashed her martial spirit—a green lotus root. This lotus root emitted a vast and powerful energy fluctuation, which greatly surprised Shi Ji.

"Azure Lotus Divine Root!" Shi Ji exclaimed. He had heard the legend of this Azure Lotus Divine Root, which was said to have been transformed from the main root of a celestial lotus and capable of evolving into the essence of the celestial lotus. If it could be refined into an elixir, it would be an existence of heaven-defying power!
The Azure Lotus Root possessed terrifying power, charging towards the ferocious beast. The beast swung its claws at the Azure Lotus Root, and the two clashed once more.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shi Ji grabbed Xia Yufu's hand and quickly fled. Although the ferocious beast was powerful, the Azure Lotus Root was equally formidable, and it would be difficult for it to escape the Azure Lotus Root's entanglement for a while.

Xia Yufu blushed slightly, but she did not resist Shi Ji holding her hand.

Shi Ji said, "You just used the power of the Azure Lotus Root, which consumed a lot of your energy. Go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll wait for you in the living room."

Xia Yufu nodded and said, "Then wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."

After saying that, Xia Yufu turned and left. Shi Ji, on the other hand, sat cross-legged by the lake, his gaze fixed on the depths of the lake.

He noticed that the deathly aura emanating from the lake was growing increasingly dense, seemingly brewing a colossal tomb. This would inevitably attract numerous powerful figures vying for control. What kind of being was buried within this deathly lake?

Shi Ji frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

A short while later, Xia Yufu came out. She seemed to have recovered a lot of energy, and her expression had become much more relaxed.

"How are you feeling?" Shi Ji asked with concern.

"I'm fine now," Xia Yufu replied with a smile.

“Since there’s no problem, let’s set off!” Shi Ji stood up and said.

Immediately, the two flew quickly outside. After leaving the lake, they arrived at the city gate.

By this time, a long queue had formed at the city gate, as many cultivators had heard the news and rushed over to try and find the treasure.

This place is a gathering place for many cultivators, so it will be quite difficult for Shi Ji and Xia Yufu to sneak out of here.

Xia Yufu gave a cold rebuke.

Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to Shi Ji and Xia Yufu.

"Boys! Are you all just sitting around doing nothing? Get out of the way!" A cultivator glared fiercely at Shi Ji and Xia Yufu, shouting loudly.

Shi Ji remained calm, merely glancing at the man before asking, "Why should we make way?"

"Just because I'm your father!" The cultivator was arrogant and overbearing.

He thought to himself that Shi Ji was young and easy to bully, and he wanted to scare him and make him obey.

Unexpectedly, Shi Ji raised her hand and slapped the cultivator, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground, where he howled in pain.

"You dare hit my son? I'll make sure you get away with this today!"

A middle-aged man roared and pounced on Shi Ji like a tiger, throwing a punch at her.

A cold killing intent flashed in Shi Ji's eyes, and a powerful surge of magic power erupted from his body.

With a deafening crash, Shi Ji and the middle-aged cultivator collided violently.

Shi Ji's strength was astonishing; she shattered the middle-aged cultivator's arm with a single punch, sending him flying.

The middle-aged monk's face was contorted in pain, his expression filled with terror and disbelief. He never expected that he would run into such a tough opponent.

He originally thought that Shi Ji was young and probably not very brave, and that scaring her would make her obedient.

But to his utter surprise, Shi Ji's strength was so terrifying that he was no match for her at all.

"You dare to cripple my son's arm? I'll never forgive you!"

The middle-aged cultivator roared angrily, then leaped into the air and pounced on Shi Ji again.

"You ant-like thing dare to oppose me? You're courting death!"

Shi Ji curled her lip in disdain.

As she spoke, Shi Ji clenched her right fist and threw a powerful punch.

With a chilling tearing sound, the cultivator's chest was pierced directly by Shi Ji's fist.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the cultivator crashed heavily to the ground, his life force rapidly fading away.

He stared wide-eyed, filled with resentment, wanting to curse Shi Ji, but Shi Ji stepped on his chest, silencing him completely.

The surrounding cultivators were all stunned.

No one expected things to escalate to such a serious point. This young master actually killed that quasi-immortal level expert in a single move. It was truly unbelievable.

"Young master." These people looked at Shi Ji with wry smiles.

"You should understand that you'd better not get involved in this matter, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Shi Ji said coldly.

He didn't want to get involved with these people.

These people have complicated backgrounds. If they get involved, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, and then I will be in danger.

So Shi Ji reminded them to avoid getting involved without realizing the gravity of the situation.

"Young master, you misunderstand. We won't get involved, but we can help you take care of this young lady. Don't worry, this is our contact talisman!"

A group of people quickly said.

"Thank you very much!"

Shi Ji clasped her hands in a fist salute.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew in.

This eerie wind was extremely strange, and it also contained a deadly poison.

When the cold wind blew over, it instantly enveloped some of the cultivators who were relatively close, and many of them immediately felt a chill that went deep into their bones.

Many people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then quickly turned around and fled into the distance.

But it was still too late.

The toxic fog spread rapidly.

A series of shrill screams rang out as the poisoned cultivators' bodies began to rot, and they soon died on the spot.

"What kind of poison is this? It's terrifying!"

Many people turned pale with fright and were terrified.

They all retreated, no longer daring to stay there.

At this moment, Shi Ji took Xia Yufu's small hand.

Then the two of them walked towards the deep pit.

"Stop! Don't go any further!"

Many people shouted loudly and rushed forward to intercept Shi Ji and Xia Yufu.

Shi Ji's expression remained indifferent.

He threw a punch into the void, the force of which seemed to transform into a blazing sun.

The great sun exploded instantly.

Those cultivators who tried to stop Shi Ji were blasted away, their skin immediately festering.

Then their bodies fell from mid-air and died instantly.

The remaining people were terrified.

Shi Ji's strength was truly terrifying; they were simply no match for her.

"We were wrong, please spare our lives, young master!"

One of the monks pleaded, and the others followed suit, hoping that Shi Ji would spare their lives.

But Shi Ji ignored them and flew towards the deep pit with Xia Yufu in her arms.

Suddenly, several dark figures rushed towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji reached out and flicked three fingers.

Shi Ji's three fingers accurately struck the heads of the men in black, causing their heads to explode instantly.

Then they fell into pools of blood, green sap flowing from their bodies.

"Ah! They are demons!" a monk screamed in terror, his voice filled with fear. He fled in panic, as if afraid that if he hesitated even a step, he would anger Shi Ji.

Meanwhile, many more cultivators took flight, eager to escape Shi Ji and Xia Yufu and flee this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Did I let you leave?" Shi Ji asked coldly, her expression indifferent.

Those cultivators who were fleeing in panic stopped involuntarily upon hearing this, their faces turning deathly pale.

"Sir, why must you be so ruthless?" a middle-aged cultivator said in a deep voice, his tone tinged with helplessness and awe.

This was an Emperor-level being, usually imposing and awe-inspiring, but now he appeared quite polite before Shi Ji. He knew in his heart that even though he was an Emperor-level being, he was no match for Shi Ji.

"There are always some fools in this world who like to bully others by relying on their power. Since they want to die, then I'll grant their wish. What do you say?" Shi Ji said calmly.

Upon hearing Shi Ji's words, the cultivators' expressions grew even more grim. They felt that Shi Ji was utterly arrogant, yet they had to admit that Shi Ji indeed had the right to be arrogant. After all, the strength he had displayed was simply too heaven-defying.

"We are willing to apologize, but please, young master, show mercy and spare our friend!" the Emperor-level cultivator said again, his tone pleading.

"I don't need anyone's charity!" Shi Ji said indifferently, then pulled Xia Yufu and continued walking forward.

The Emperor-level cultivator's face was terrifyingly grim. He said in a deep voice, "Does Your Excellency really intend to wipe us out? This place has been sealed off by us. No outsiders are allowed to enter! Not even the people from Immortal Spirit Manor can easily break in!"

Shi Ji replied nonchalantly, "What do your affairs have to do with me?"

"Hmph, you want to lure out the creature in that tomb, don't you? But I advise you to pray you don't disturb it! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" the Emperor-level cultivator threatened.

Shi Ji sneered and said, "Oh? So you know what's buried in that tomb. Since you know, you still dare to stop me from taking the treasure from the tomb? Do you think that even if I kill you, Immortal Spirit Manor can't do anything to me?"

As she spoke, Shi Ji's cold gaze swept over the powerful Emperor-level expert.

The Emperor-level expert felt a chill run down his spine and shivered. His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he coldly said, "Young man, leave some room for maneuver; you might meet again in the future. How about we end this here? If you know what's good for you, leave now, and I'll let bygones be bygones. But if you don't, you'll definitely suffer later!"

Upon hearing the words of this Emperor-level expert, the hearts of the other cultivators trembled. His words were filled with a threatening tone. They knew that any cultivator who dared to oppose Immortal Spirit Manor was already dead and without a burial place.

Therefore, despite Shi Ji's great power, even injuring an Emperor-level expert, this Emperor-level expert remained fearless.

Perhaps he felt that Shi Ji had no way to deal with the being in that tomb, a being that was extremely terrifying, even a peerless expert like Shi Ji was wary of it, which is why he was so fearless.

"I hate it when people talk to me like that. Do you want to die? I'll grant your wish!" As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji drew her stone sword.

He swung his stone sword, slashing towards the Emperor-level expert. With a deafening roar, Shi Ji, sword in hand, clashed with the Emperor-level expert. (End of Chapter)
