The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

Everyone stared wide-eyed, not yet able to react, when they saw Su Zhe reach out and grab someone.

Duan De: ? ? ?

Duan De looked bewildered; he never imagined he would appear before everyone in this way.

He had hidden it very well, but unfortunately, one of his teammates was an inhuman person!

Su Zhe stood there, holding Duan De tightly in his hand, with a warm smile on his face.

Duan De almost cried after he realized what had happened.

"Hi everyone... I also think Duan De is a very unreliable guy..."

Duan De spoke with a mournful face.

In contrast, Su Zhe's smile was much brighter.

"Master Duan, there's no need to pretend with these people; they're all on our side."

Su Zhe said with a smile.

Duan De: ...

"What?! This guy is Duan De?!"

The crowd below was filled with shock.

No one expected that Duan De, whom they had been searching for in the Southern Region without finding any trace of, was actually in the Northern Region, and was hiding in the square of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"I'm not..."

Duan De was almost in tears.

Among the group of people present, the one with the lowest cultivation level was an elder at the peak of the Dragon Transformation stage.

After all, they are the people in charge and guardians of the nearby mines, and the mines that can be adjacent to the Yao Guang Holy Land mines are at least the mines of the Holy Land families.

Moreover, those who were able to arrive at the scene immediately despite the imposing presence of the Dao-Slaying King and the Supreme Emperor Weapon must be quite powerful.

These people are far stronger than those who chased Duan De in the Southern Region.

If this group were to attack without regard for the cost, Duan De definitely wouldn't last even three or five breaths.

"Brother Dong..." The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang frowned slightly. Clearly, she didn't know why Su Zhe suddenly brought up Duan De in public.

This undoubtedly pushes Duan De into a fire pit, and at the same time tells everyone that Duan De is in the Yao Guang Holy Land.

This is also a considerable problem for the Yao Guang Holy Land.

However, Su Zhe didn't care. He just looked at the crowd in front of him and slowly nodded.

"Yes, this is Duan De. Daoist Duan heard that the mines of Yao Guang Holy Land were about to suffer a disaster, so he came here specifically to help Yao Guang Holy Land resolve the crisis!"

Su Zhe nodded with a smile and began to speak.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang snapped out of her reverie and quickly nodded, "That's indeed the case. Daoist Duan came with sincerity and returned all the treasures he borrowed from the Yaoguang Holy Land. Therefore, the Yaoguang Holy Land and Daoist Duan are now in a cooperative relationship!"

Duan De, who had been looking desperate, suddenly widened his eyes.

He felt that his identity being exposed wasn't such a bad thing after all!

Although his identity was exposed, he unexpectedly gained the endorsement of the Yao Guang Holy Land!

Even if it's just in the open, at least I won't be openly hunted down by a group of people like before.

"This..." The group of people below were speechless, staring in disbelief at the people above.

They never expected it to turn out this way.

Duan De, that guy, actually cooperated with the Yao Guang Holy Land and even became the Yao Guang Holy Land's "benefactor"?

This is unbelievable!

"Ahem, I was reluctant to say this! But since you've all brought it up, I'll lay it all out and stop pretending! Yes, I have some methods for locating burial sites and can see all sorts of dangers underground!"

Duan De stood with his hands behind his back, adopting an air of superiority, and spoke with a smile.

"Master Duan, our Primordial Holy Land also feels there's something wrong beneath the mine. Would you be so kind as to go and take a look?"

In the crowd, an elderly man with white hair and beard suddenly spoke up.

The others immediately realized what was happening and sighed with regret.

They missed such a great opportunity!

"You also want me to go and see the crisis beneath the mine?"

Duan De stood tall and proud, a faint smile on his face, arrogant and haughty.

"Yes, hehe, there seems to be hidden danger beneath the mines of the Primordial Sacred Land. I urge Daoist Duan to set off as soon as possible..."

The Supreme Elder of the Primordial Holy Land spoke with a smile, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes.

Duan De keenly sensed the killing intent, and the smile on his face vanished instantly as he shook his head repeatedly.

"Hahaha, never mind, I'm not good enough, so I won't join in the fun..."

Duan De quickly waved his hand, his smile forced.

"Master Duan, there's no need to hold back. Since you can help the Yao Guang Holy Land solve its problems, you can certainly help us solve ours as well."

The Supreme Elder of the Primordial Holy Land said with a smile, stepped forward, and was ready to make his move.

"Speaking of which, it seems my Ji family also has some problems. Since Daoist Duan and Dong Xuelian are so familiar with each other, why don't you come and visit my Ji family?"

The elder of the Ji family spoke with a smile.

At some point, the Supreme Elder of the Ji family also appeared, standing behind Su Zhe, but his gaze was fixed on Duan De.

"Hahaha...haha...I'm actually not very good at these things..."

Duan De's smile was more like a grimace than a cry.

He felt as if he was being targeted, from the great sorrow after his identity was exposed, to the great joy after the Yao Guang Holy Land endorsed him, and then to the great sorrow of being fought over by various factions...

"Master Duan has exerted too much effort this time and should indeed rest well. He should stay at Yao Guang Holy Land for the time being."

Su Zhe suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing Su Zhe's words, whether it was the powerful figures from various forces who were about to speak, or the Supreme Elder of the Primordial Holy Land who had already spoken, they all quietly looked at the Supreme Elder of the Ji family.

To everyone else, this was utterly outrageous!

Even the powerful figures of the Ji family have spoken up, yet Dong Xuelian, as a junior, still dares to argue!

In other factions, even a holy son would be severely punished!

Everyone was waiting for the powerful figure from the Ji family to become dissatisfied and publicly punish Dong Xuelian, severely dampening the arrogance of this prodigy from a different surname.

However, to everyone's surprise, the powerful figure from the Ji family not only wasn't angry, but instead nodded with a smile.

"Xuelian is right. I did not think things through. Master Duan, please rest and recuperate. It is not too late to come to the Ji family after you have finished recuperating."

The powerful figure from the Ji family spoke with a smile, without any airs, as if he were not a powerful figure at all, but just a kind old man.

Duan De, who had just been holding his breath, immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

He finally understood Su Zhe's position in the Ji family!

No wonder the Holy Maiden and Holy Son of Yaoguang didn't forcibly capture him after they learned his identity!

It now seems that Su Zhe's status in the Ji family is comparable to that of the Ji family's divine body.

"Seriously... the differences between people are just too great..."

Duan De sighed inwardly.

He and Su Zhe had entered the Ji family's tomb together, but he was hunted down by the Ji family for so long, while Su Zhe had transformed into a rising star in the Ji family, respected even by powerful figures.

This comparison is truly heartbreaking.

"It's alright. I reckon once the Yaoguang mine incident blows up, other mines will run into problems too. Just be prepared."

Su Zhe said with a smile, as if he were talking about something unimportant.
