Six Realms Immortal Emperor

"Hey, Jingtian, have you heard anything lately?" Dongfang Sixing asked mysteriously as he burst into Xu Jingtian's training room.

Xu Jingtian glanced at him, then continued to sit upright, saying inwardly with annoyance, "I practice here every day, and apart from seeing you, I haven't seen anyone else. What else could I possibly have heard? Spit it out!" He least wanted anyone to disturb him while he was cultivating.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Dongfang Sixing lowered his voice and said, "The news of Daoist Cen Yang's murder has spread everywhere recently; even the disciples outside Wuji Peak have heard about it!"

Xu Jingtian was startled and stopped cultivating. He calmly said, "Oh?" The truth will eventually come out. The fact that Daoist Cen Yang was killed would be discovered sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Dongfang Sixing was taken aback; Xu Jingtian's reaction was too calm, somewhat unexpected. He paused for a moment, then asked tentatively, "So, what do we do?"

"What are you afraid of? As long as his body isn't discovered, without any evidence, who would dare say that the two of us killed him?" Xu Jingtian said calmly.

He had actually thought this through long ago. As long as he and Dongfang Sixing didn't tell anyone, even if others suspected something, they couldn't do anything to them.

Perhaps influenced by Xu Jingtian's composure, Dongfang Sixing became more confident and asked him, "So, what should we do next?"

Xu Jingtian slowly stood up, stretched, and said, "It's time to go out and take a look!"

"Huh? Going out at this hour? Where to?" Dongfang Sixing was not only not excited, but rather became excited upon hearing this. It seemed that he was one step closer to achieving his goal.

"Didn't you say Wanhe Valley was nice? Why don't we go check it out?" Xu Jingtian said with a smile. If people found out they hadn't moved around in months, they would become suspicious.

"Hmph," Dongfang Sixing chuckled, mocking himself, "We don't even have a single Spirit-Stabilizing Pill. They won't even let us in the door. What are we doing here?"

"That's easy. Come with me, I'll take you to a good place. Maybe we can even get some pills to buy things," Xu Jingtian said mysteriously.

"Oh, why didn't you say so sooner!" Dongfang Sixing was overjoyed and followed closely behind Xu Jingtian. The closer they got to the outer perimeter of the Brahma Sect, the more excited Dongfang Sixing became. He hadn't expected his goal to be achieved so easily.

The two arrived at a mountain peak on the outermost edge of the Brahma Sect, one after the other, with Xu Jingtian leading the way upwards.

"Liuguang Peak!" Dongfang Sixing said excitedly, "Oh, I see! You're really bold. Not only is Liuguang Peak far from the sect, but it's also inhabited by outer sect disciples without any training masters. We can take advantage of this and rob a few of them; I doubt anyone will know!"

"Get lost! You can't even come up with such a low-level idea as robbery!" Xu Jingtian laughed and scolded. "I'm not that stupid. After all, we're still within the territory of the Brahma Sect. Have you forgotten that there's a disciple on Flowing Light Peak that you recognize?"

Dongfang Sixing slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering something, and said with some worry, "Oh, you're not talking about that kid Lu Yikuang, are you? We haven't known him for very long, so we don't know him very well. If we suddenly ask him to borrow a few pills, will he help us?"

"Don't worry, although Brother Lu seems aloof and doesn't talk much, after our two meetings, I believe he will definitely help us," Xu Jingtian said firmly.

A few months ago, he even instructed several Wuji Peak disciples to seek help from Lu Yikuang, and there was no news of any adverse events, so everything should have been resolved smoothly.

"Oh dear, brothers, what bad luck! You're a step too late!"

At the summit of Liuguang Peak, after Xu Jingtian and Dongfang Sixing explained their purpose, Lu Yikuang exclaimed in regret.

"Oh, so Brother Lu is so stingy. You didn't pretend you didn't have any pills after hearing that we wanted to borrow them from you, did you?" Dongfang Sixing said disdainfully, looking at Xu Jingtian with a mocking expression.

Xu Jingtian was also somewhat surprised. Based on his understanding of Lu Yikuang, he shouldn't be so stingy with even two pills.

Lu Yikuang's face immediately showed some displeasure, but he patiently explained, "Brothers, you are joking. Let alone two pills, even if there were ten, I would give them to you without batting an eye. It's just that you two came at a very inopportune time. The pills have just been given away. By the way, those disciples also happen to be from Wuji Peak."

Xu Jingtian and Dongfang Sixing exchanged a glance. What a coincidence! Just when I came to borrow the pills from you, you gave them to someone else. It sounds quite plausible.

"Oh, I see!" Dongfang Sixing, of course, didn't believe him. He nodded while saying indignantly, "You're not afraid that we two penniless guys won't be able to pay you back, are you? Don't worry, we're not that kind of people. We always pay back what we borrow. If we really can't, we'll pay you back double!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yikuang abruptly stood up, angrily saying, "Hmph! Brother Sixing, what are you saying? I said I don't have it, and I mean it. If I did, I would definitely give it to you!"

"Hmph! I'm not lending it, no matter how nicely I put it!" Dongfang Sixing was completely unmoved.

"You!" Lu Yikuang was clearly angered, his spiritual energy circulated throughout his body, and his clothes moved without wind.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xu Jingtian quickly pulled Dongfang Sixing back. He was now regretting coming here, never expecting it to end like this.

"Hmph! Let's go!" Dongfang Sixing said, angrily pulling Xu Jingtian away.

"Wait!" Lu Yikuang shouted from behind.

"Hmph! So what if he's only at the third level of Qi Refining? Don't think I'm afraid of you. Let me tell you, I'm not even afraid of that old dog Cen Yang!" Dongfang Sixing retorted without backing down. He was eager to fall out with Lu Yikuang. With Xu Jingtian by his side, he wasn't afraid of Lu Yikuang at all. If a fight really broke out, he still had Xu Jingtian as his main force. Ideally, Xu Jingtian would kill Lu Yikuang like he killed Qu Feixiong. Then Xu Jingtian would definitely not be able to stay in the sect anymore. Haha, one step closer to his goal.

"Hmph!" Lu Yikuang sneered. He didn't care whether it was appropriate or not, and since they didn't see eye to eye, he didn't bother to explain to Dongfang Sixing.

Lu Yikuang took out a storage bag from his waist and reached inside.

"What are you going to do?" Dongfang Sixing immediately became wary and somewhat flustered, glancing at Xu Jingtian beside him.

Xu Jingtian remained calm and did not react. He did not believe that Lu Yikuang would suddenly attack them. It was purely an intuition; since his cultivation level had improved, his senses had become much sharper.

First came the life-or-death battle with Daoist Cen Yang, then the duel with Qu Feixiong, which further honed his newly improved cultivation and gave him more insights into the use of spiritual power, as if his realm had also improved.

However, Xu Jingtian's inaction does not mean he lacks ability. If Lu Yikuang dares to launch a surprise attack on the two of them, he will react immediately.

As his cultivation level improved, his perspective broadened, and he viewed disciples with lower cultivation levels as if they were children. Looking at Lu Yikuang, however, both his aura and movements were utterly insignificant in his eyes. He was confident that he could defeat Lu Yikuang in a single move.

Lu Yikuang glanced at Dongfang Sixing with a mocking look, and took out a sharp beast horn from his storage bag.

Dongfang Sixing was stunned, not understanding what Lu Yikuang was going to do.

Xu Jingtian recognized the beast horn at a glance. It was the sharp horn from the head of the third-tier ferocious beast, the Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros. He and Lu Yikuang each had one; he had handed his over to the sect, while Lu Yikuang's had been kept in his storage bag.

"Take it!" Lu Yikuang said, tossing the beast horn to Xu Jingtian.

Xu Jingtian and Lu Yikuang had gone through thick and thin together during the trials, becoming inseparable, and each received a beast horn. Lu Yikuang's actions were clearly a prelude to a break with him. Xu Jingtian hesitated, unsure whether to accept or not.

Just as the beast horn was about to fall to the ground, Dongfang Sixing hurriedly stepped forward and caught it, saying to Xu Jingtian, "Take it, don't miss out!" He understood what a third-tier ferocious beast horn meant; not to mention the Spirit-Solidifying Pill, he could even exchange it for several higher-grade Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills.

"Thank you!" Dongfang Sixing tucked the beast horn into his pocket and happily pulled Xu Jingtian away.

"No need to see me off!" Lu Yikuang's lips curled into a haughty smile as he coldly watched the two leave. "By the way, I've been promoted to inner disciple and will be departing tomorrow! From now on, I can't offer you any further assistance, disciples of Wuji Peak!"

"Hmph, who cares!"

Xu Jingtian originally wanted to turn around and congratulate Lu Yikuang, but Dongfang Sixing was afraid that Lu Yikuang would change his mind and take back the beast horn. He hurriedly said a few words and pulled him along, walking quickly down the mountain.

"Pah! You treat him like one of your own? Didn't you see his condescending and arrogant attitude? If you don't want to lend it, you don't have to act like this!"

"Ahem, Brother Lu, maybe he really is in trouble! Besides, didn't he give us a third-tier ferocious beast horn?" Xu Jingtian said somewhat awkwardly. In his mind, Lu Yikuang was definitely not that kind of person.

"That brat Lu Yikuang, you still call him Brother Lu? I don't think he considers you a friend. It's better to cut ties with someone like that sooner rather than later!" Dongfang Sixing said disdainfully. Then he took out the beast horn from his pocket, examined it in his hand, and said, "Maybe he had a change of heart. But with this treasure, after paying two pills inside, we'll still have some left over, which is just enough to buy some items we've been eyeing."

"Oh, what a pity!" Xu Jingtian said with some regret.

"What's the pity? It's free anyway, might as well take it." Dongfang Sixing stuffed the beast horn into his arms.

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about Lu... Yikuang!" Xu Jingtian said irritably.

"I think someone like him will become our enemy sooner or later! He's just like Qu Feixiong! Don't forget that a few days ago, when you dueled with Qu Feixiong, he didn't even show up. If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have saved them during the trial." Dongfang Sixing continued to grumble.

"Well... Brother Lu, perhaps there were other things going on at the time." Xu Jingtian felt a little sorry for Lu Yikuang and wanted to make an excuse for him. He had also thought that Lu Yikuang would be there, but he had searched for a long time and couldn't find him.

In fact, Xu Jingtian did not know that Lu Yikuang really wanted to go. He had long been convinced that Xu Jingtian would win, but he was afraid that if he were there, Xu Jingtian would be distracted and lose the duel.

And so, a minor misunderstanding arose between Xu Jingtian and Lu Yikuang. From then on, their relationship gradually drifted apart, but that's a story for another time.
