"Who are you?"
Sun and Wang, together with Little Green and Little Red, had co forward. For a mont, Xu Ke almost mistook them to be his own descendants.
However, he quickly realized his mistake.
Given the lack of Spiritual Energy in the Empire Minor World, it was impossible for such Realm Cultivators to arise.
Xu Ke’s profound gaze suddenly fell upon the two.
Sun Erlang, neither servile nor overbearing, cupped his hands and said, "We co at the behest of our Master, to request an audience with you, senior."
"Hm?"
Xu Ke was sowhat surprised.
He hadn’t expected that there were still people in this world who rembered him.
Once Little Green and Little Red conveyed the recent plight of the Empire through voice transmission, Xu Ke’s expression beca even more solemn.
"Those who know of still possess such capabilities? Who is it?"
Shadowy figures flashed through his Spirit Consciousness, but he dismissed each one in turn.
Almost imperceptibly glancing at the decayed wooden coffin behind him, Xu Ke initially wanted to refuse their invitation.
But...
Xu Ke’s gaze paused again on Little Green and Little Red.
Then he let out a slight sigh.
Despite already knowing his location, they still ca together with Qing Yu Hong. The threatening implication was self-evident. Although he had avoided seeing them for a thousand years, it was a reluctant necessity. Was he, Xu Ke, a man to abandon all sentint and stand by, watching them in distress?
With this thought, Xu Ke slightly shook his head, "I can go with you, but there are several conditions."
Sun Erlang quickly responded, "Senior, feel free to speak your mind."
"First, among the two of you, one must take my place and sit at the summit of this mountain. You shall not leave early for any reason before I return. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I will set up a Forbidden Formation," Xu Ke said slowly.
"This..." Hearing this strange request, Sun Erlang hesitated.
"No problem. I’ll take the senior’s place," said Wang Xuanba, slapping his chest in agreent.
Sun Erlang knew that his brother, having cultivated the Techniques taught by their Master, could transform like an Exotic Beast, replicating himself endlessly. Even if this body was completely destroyed, it wouldn’t significantly affect him. Thus, he did not stop him.
Xu Ke nodded and continued, "Second, after I leave this Small World with you, no one is to approach within thirty feet of . Otherwise, don’t bla for being unkind."
Xu Ke glanced at Little Green and Little Red, emphasizing his words.
Clearly, by ’no one,’ he included Qing Yu Hong.
A chill went through Sun Erlang, but he still nodded in agreent.
"And the last point..."
Xu Ke said to Little Green and Little Red, "If there’s anything wrong with , kill imdiately. Do not hesitate."
As he spoke, a Wood Sword, no larger than the size of a palm, appeared in Xu Ke’s hand.
Extending his hand, the Wood Sword flew towards Little Green on its own.
Little Green was completely stunned.
But seeing Xu Ke’s aged yet resolute face, which resembled so much how he had looked when he had insisted on leaving the Empire, tears twinkled in her eyes, yet she said nothing more, softly replying, "Okay."
Little Green clutched the Wood Sword tightly in her palm, seriously listening to the instructions for the Wood Sword that Xu Ke transmitted to her.
Once everything was in order, Xu Ke turned to Sun and Wang.
Sun Erlang and Wang Xuanba, seeing Xu Ke take the matter so seriously, did not dare to take it lightly. "Senior, do you have any other commands?"
"Just wait a mont and keep your distance."
The two Cultivators and two beasts didn’t understand but exchanged a glance and obediently flew away from the abrupt stone mountain where Xu Ke was.
Xu Ke placed his right hand on the summit, exerting a slight force.
The stone mountain, Heaven and Earth, even the entire world, trembled for an instant.
As if a sharp curse filled with resentnt echoed, or perhaps it was an illusion.
When the tremors subsided, the Small World seed sohow different from before.
Yet Sun Erlang and the others couldn’t quite discern the specific difference.
Xu Ke slowly stood up and looked at Wang Xuanba, stomping his right foot slightly.
Wang Xuanba signaled Sun Erlang not to worry, then flew to Xu Ke’s side.
"Sit down."
Xu Ke moved his foot away, revealing a sunken area on the summit’s surface where he had stood.
Wang Xuanba sat down with a thud.
"It might hurt a bit, but you won’t die."
With these words, Xu Ke floated into the air and continued speaking slowly.
The mont he flew out of the range of the towering stone mountain, Wang Xuanba let out a scream.
As if an imnse weight had suddenly pressed down upon him, he was caught off guard, his back crushed against the ground.
The sound of bones being relentlessly crushed and ground resounded.
"Xuanba?!" cried Sun Erlang in alarm.
"I... I’m fine!" A hand reached out from a body that had almost beco a patty of flesh.
It weakly waved toward Sun Erlang.
"It just... indeed hurts a bit."
Xu Ke pointed gently at Wang Xuanba, "Let’s go. I told you he wouldn’t die."
The pressure on Wang Xuanba seed to lessen slightly, allowing him to barely lift his head again.
Seeing this, Sun Erlang took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, and led the way with Little Green and Little Red at the front.
Xu Ke followed them at the sa pace.
Sun Erlang, like Qing Yu Hong, covertly observed Xu Ke behind them.
Originally, the coffin Xu Ke had been sitting near, which appeared decayed, didn’t seem noteworthy.
But whether it was Sun Erlang’s misconception or not, ever since leaving the Small World, that coffin seed to be becoming increasingly intact.
It was also slowly growing larger.
As if...
Sothing was about to crawl out of it at any mont.
