Six Realms Immortal Emperor

Since the secret was discovered, Xu Jingtian's martial arts skills have improved rapidly under the guidance of Dongfang Siyu, and he has also become more proficient in the Misty Wave Illusionary Shadow Technique.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and the four of them arrived at a high mountain.

Dongfang Siyu stopped her horse and waited for Xu Jingtian and the others behind her.

"The terrain here is treacherous; we need to be careful."

"Yes!" Xu Jingtian replied. He looked around at the terrain and saw that this was where two mountains met. All around were cliffs and precipices, and there was only a narrow path in front of him. The path was so narrow that only horses could pass through at the intersection.

Dongfang Sile, however, said dismissively, "What's there to be afraid of? Do you think some petty thief would dare to intercept us?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Sixing chimed in, "That's right. If a bunch of petty thieves come, we two brothers will beat them to a pulp without the young lady even having to lift a finger."

Dongfang Siyu said cautiously, "It's always better to be careful." She slowed down her horse and moved forward slowly.

Xu Jingtian also felt something was off. The surrounding woods were too quiet, not even a bird was in sight. It seemed that Dongfang Siyu must have sensed something.

Just as Xu Jingtian was wondering, Dongfang Siyu suddenly turned back and whispered to the three of them, "Hurry up and ride your horses!" With that, she flicked her fingers and pointed at the backs of their horses. The horses shrieked and galloped forward with all their might.

"Stop! Where are you going?"

As they were speaking, a loud shout rang out, and a fierce-looking man rushed out from nowhere. Dressed in a gray, close-fitting outfit, he carried a gleaming broadsword and stood menacingly in the middle of the road.

It seems Dongfang Siyu was right!

"You all just go, I'll deal with them!" came Dongfang Siyu's voice from behind.

Xu Jingtian turned his head and saw that there were two more people blocking their way. It turned out that they had been lying in ambush.

Dongfang Sile sneered, spurred her horse forward, and drew her longsword, thrusting it at the man blocking her path. "Where did these petty thieves come from! Don't you even have eyes to see who you're trying to stop?"

"No!" Dongfang Siyu shouted from behind.

"Hmph! Let's see where you can hide!" It's just a petty thief blocking the way. Dongfang Sixing didn't listen to her advice and followed behind Dongfang Sile, attacking the newcomer with his longsword.

The road ahead was narrow, with no way to retreat. If the man blocking the way didn't get out of there immediately, he would definitely be stabbed through by the two of them.

Dongfang Sile was also extremely pleased. This time, he wanted to show Dongfang Siyu that they were not cowards.

But the man with the knife was not afraid; instead, he yelled and charged forward.

"So he's a desperate criminal!" Xu Jingtian quickly drew his sword and helped the two of them attack the man.

In the blink of an eye, the horse, in pain, sped up and covered the distance of only a few feet between them.

The man blocking the road did not use any special moves, but slashed left and right with his broadsword, hitting the swords of Dongfang Sile and Dongfang Sixing respectively.

Click, click!

With two crisp sounds, the man snapped Dongfang Sile's and his companion's swords in two. They gasped in shock; their swords were top-tier treasures, and to break them so easily could only mean that the newcomer's martial arts were unfathomably profound!

Fortunately, Xu Jingtian arrived behind them and quickly withdrew his sword to dodge, temporarily avoiding their attack.

"You guys go quickly!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Dongfang Siyu behind them hurriedly abandoned her horse and leaped over to help.

"Too late!" The man grinned menacingly, thrusting his blade upwards towards Dongfang Sile on his left.

"Ah!" Dongfang Sile screamed and fell headfirst off the horse. The horse then collapsed with a thud after running only a few steps.

"Ah!" Dongfang Sixing was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, quickly spurring his horse to dodge.

"Trying to escape?" the man sneered, raising his knife to strike.

"Stop!" Dongfang Siyu arrived just in time, her soft sword locked onto him from a distance, forcing the man to withdraw his sword to meet her attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Jingtian leaned forward, reached out and lifted Dongfang Sile from the ground, carrying her on his horse's back. He had raised horses for many years and his horsemanship was quite good.

*Whoosh!* Two gusts of wind shot out, landing on the rumps of Xu Jingtian's and Dongfang Sixing's horses respectively. The horses, in pain, leaped past the men blocking their path. Perhaps their attention wasn't on Xu Jingtian and Dongfang Sixing, as they allowed the horses to escape.

"You guys go first!" Dongfang Siyu's voice came from afar behind them.

Who were these three people? How dare they intercept Dongfang Siyu, who possessed such profound cultivation? Although Xu Jingtian was worried, his horse wouldn't listen to him and galloped forward for four or five miles before finally stopping.

"Sile!" Xu Jingtian lifted Dongfang Sile off the horse and laid him flat on the grass. He was still unconscious.

"Sile!" Dongfang Sixing hurriedly dismounted to check on him, placing his hand above his nose.

The person who was just moments ago full of energy is now breathing heavily with his eyes closed, only exhaling and not inhaling.

"Sile, Sile, you can't die!" Dongfang Sixing cried, clinging to him. "We haven't even reached the Brahma Sect yet, how can you die?"

Meanwhile, the man with the knife was frantically wielding his blade, desperately trying to hold her back and preventing her from breaking free.

There were two other people behind her. Seeing that the situation was not good, they pushed off with their feet and rushed over to help.

The three worked together seamlessly and moved swiftly, flanking Dongfang Siyu from both sides and quickly surrounding her.

Who are you?

Although Dongfang Siyu didn't recognize the three people, she could sense that she was being followed from the moment she left the sect all the way to Guangting Fort, though it was intermittent. She didn't pay much attention to it until she returned to Guangting Fort, when the feeling disappeared, and she thought she had been overthinking it.

It wasn't until the martial arts competition that she discovered the gray-clad man surnamed Jin had followed her to her residence. After she exposed him, he immediately vanished without a trace, apparently to find his accomplices.

"Are you Dongfang Siyu?" A dark-faced man in front of her asked instead of answering.

To their surprise, they knew her. Although the three were dressed differently, they were all disciples of immortal cultivation. It seemed that the three had not appeared out of nowhere, but had come prepared.

Dongfang Siyu stared coldly at the three men, showing no fear, and said coldly, "That's right, I am Dongfang Siyu. What do you want?" She didn't know any of these people, and they were complete strangers to her; she could say that she had absolutely no connection with them.

The dark-faced man chuckled dryly, then said, "What are you doing? Hehe! Dongfang Siyu, listen up! We've heard you possess some extraordinary treasure. Would you do us the honor of letting us see it?"

Dongfang Siyu snorted coldly and retorted, "What treasure? I've only just been promoted to an inner disciple of the Brahma Sect, what treasure could I possibly have?"

The dark-faced man chuckled again: "You won't admit it, huh? No problem. This is a perfect spot, far from any village or shop. If you obediently leave behind all the magical treasures and pills you're carrying, maybe I'll spare your life. Otherwise, hmph..."

Dongfang Siyu was extremely disgusted. She spat at the dark-faced man and pointed at the gray-clad man surnamed Jin, saying, "Pah! If you hadn't fled last time, I would have taken your dog's life!"

The man in gray surnamed Jin chuckled: "Times have changed. In a one-on-one fight, I wasn't confident I could beat you. But now that we've cornered you here, three against one, you have absolutely no chance. I advise you to surrender now and hand over your treasure to avoid suffering."

Dongfang Siyu also sensed something was amiss, but she couldn't afford to think about it too much. She'd rather die than surrender. "Bah! As a disciple of the Brahma Sect, you're secretly colluding with other sects. I despise you!"

"You dare, brothers, attack!" The three men didn't waste any words. Seeing that talk was useless, they had to rely on their real skills. Of the three strong men, one wielded a sword, one a knife, and the third, who was slightly more skilled, used fist techniques.

To deal with Dongfang Siyu, this powerful newcomer to the inner sect, the three of them actually attacked simultaneously.

"Hmph! Although I have no grudge against you, I am not afraid of you!" Dongfang Siyu remained fearless and stepped forward, wielding her soft sword with ease.

Whoosh whoosh!

With her purple soft sword in hand, she unleashed her illusory movement technique, displaying formidable power. Combined with her wondrous movement, the sword light flashed like a shooting star, piercing through space and time. Dongfang Siyu's figure began to fade, as if several Dongfang Siyus were attacking simultaneously.

Dongfang Siyu's swordsmanship was formidable and powerful, managing to trap all three enemies within its reach.

blah blah blah!

The three men initially underestimated Dongfang Siyu, and in their carelessness, they were caught in her sword light and could only defend for a time.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The three roared in unison, their anger palpable. They hadn't expected that Dongfang Siyu, this seemingly delicate young woman, could wield such formidable swordsmanship in combination with her cultivation.

"Dongfang Siyu, do you think you can defeat us like this? It's impossible to be at the same level as us. It's more likely if you're a level higher than us. You're doomed today. I advise you not to be reckless," the dark-faced man said through gritted teeth.

It turns out that the three of them were also inner disciples, with cultivation levels on par with Dongfang Siyu. No wonder they were so arrogant.
