After a long while…
Ming Zhitian retracted his hand. The vast amount of information required considerable time to digest. Seeing her frozen in place, Ming Zhitian did not disturb her further and left directly.
Outside the door, he encountered Ju Hong, Qing Zi, and Bi Lan. After informing them of the situation, Ming Zhitian vanished instantly.
Ming Zhitian returned to the Xiu Gu Realm, to the Suo Hai Wu Ge—httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
He informed Fei Jiang, Yi Ni, and Hong Suan Heavenly Emperor about the Jade Body, urging them to pay more attention. He could not give up any trace of the Jade Body.
Hong Suan Heavenly Emperor said to Ming Zhitian, "Divine Master Ming, I wish to return to the Heavenly Realm. The spiritual energy in this Xiu Gu Realm is simply too weak, too weak. My cultivation has been stagnating."
Isn't this simple? Ming Zhitian pointed a finger. Hong Suan Heavenly Emperor was greatly startled; it would be too easy for him to kill himself.
"Don't be nervous." Ming Zhitian smiled faintly, "This is a Heavenly God-level cultivation technique. Once mastered, entering the Heavenly God Realm will not be difficult."
Hong Suan Heavenly Emperor received it as a priceless treasure! "Thank you, Divine Master Ming, for this gift! I... no, I do not know how I can possibly repay you."
Ming Zhitian waved his hand, "Stay here and help me find the Jade Body."
Hong Suan Heavenly Emperor bowed respectfully, "I will certainly do my best!"
Ming Zhitian looked towards the light of the firmament, "It is time to make a trip."
…
The Demon City Metropolis—
Under the alias Qiong Chi, Ming Zhitian appeared in a barren desert. He released his divine sense and discovered that the spiritual energy here was much weaker than in the Xiu Gu Realm, almost falling to the level of the Sky Sphere.
"Demon City Metropolis, registered as a wayward disciple, Irina…"
Ming Zhitian murmured to himself. This was the dying wish of the Immortal Old Demon, to have him check on his disciple whom he had not seen for a long time.
Since it was similar to the Sky Sphere, Ming Zhitian saw no need to reveal his true strength. He would suppress his cultivation to the Asura Realm. At least he could move through short spatial distances at will.
A ripple…
Suddenly, he heard a series of explosions. Ming Zhitian curiously flashed over.
He saw four large black combat drones frantically pursuing a nimble soldier. Judging by his rank, he seemed to hold a significant position.
The combat drones relentlessly fired, not forgetting to deploy homing missiles from their undercarriage!
"Whoosh!………Whoosh!……"
Eight missiles, fired eight times, hitting eight targets!
Each drone continued to deploy two more missiles, resulting in another eight bombardments!
The man was utterly exhausted and stumbled, falling to the ground!
"Damn it, is it over…"
As the four combat drones swarmed towards him, about to blow him to bits! The man despaired.
Initially, Ming Zhitian intended to watch from the sidelines. But upon seeing the despair in the man's eyes, he seemed to see another self in them.
Once upon a time, when he faced the deaths of many women, even seeing them die before him, he had been just as helpless, just as desperate.
Ming Zhitian decided to save him!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!…"
The four large black combat drones were instantly pulverized! The man did not see what had destroyed them, only wondering why they had detonated so suddenly.
But he was finally saved. The man's last vestige of consciousness gave way, and he fainted.
…
When he awoke, he saw Ming Zhitian sitting on a rock with his back to him. The man, alert, drew his only weapon, a handgun, from his waist and aimed it at Ming Zhitian!
"Who are you?!"
Ming Zhitian merely glanced back, "Awake?"
The man’s raised hand ultimately chose to lower. He had forgotten; the bullets in his handgun had already been fired, leaving it an empty shell.
Thinking about it, he had been unconscious just now, and Ming Zhitian had been right beside him. If he had wished to kill him, it would have been a simple matter.
He asked indifferently, "Were those four drones destroyed by you? Did you save me?"
