Hua Yuerong rushed to check her dimensional ring, but there was no food in there. She immediately panicked and asked the others if they had any Baozi or other food.
Su Yang took out a sandwich, which was called a "sandwich" in his original world, and told Hua Yuerong to give it to the mysterious man.
She didn’t dare to give it to him directly because the Heavenly System still couldn’t identify the man. Whereas, in the past, the Heavenly System was always able to measure the strength of a Cultivator. For example, the Tianzun Sect Leader who had spiritual energy as vast as the ocean or the equivalent of one hundred thousand years of cultivation. He was the strongest Cultivator he had ever seen so far, even the Heavenly System said that Su Yang would not be able to defeat him even if he reached the Immortal Realm, unless he mastered one hundred high-level martial arts.
The mysterious man suddenly snapped his fingers, then the bloodstains all over his body disappeared.
It turned out that the mysterious man was very handsome even though some of his hair had turned gray. Hua Yuerong, who was walking, suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared at the mysterious man's face in a daze.
"Ah!" Hua Yuerong was startled because the mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of her.
Su Yang immediately gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and prepared to fight the mysterious man if he hurt Hua Yuerong.
"Hmm, this is delicious. What kind of food is this? It looks different from Baozi," said the mysterious man, chewing on the sandwich.
Actually, Hua Yuerong had never eaten it either, because only Su Yang could make it.
"Hmm, I don't k-know, Senior," Hua Yuerong replied nervously. Her body kept trembling, afraid that the mysterious man was an evil Cultivator and would kill her or defile her.
"Forget it, the important thing is that it's edible." The mysterious man drank green tea directly from the golden teapot. "Oh, yes... Let me introduce myself, my name is Xuan Ji. A wandering Warrior."
Xuan Ji noticed the expressions of the young people who were the same age as his disciples. They still seemed afraid of him. Yes, it was only natural because he had killed many monsters and demons in the deepest part of the labyrinth alone.
He himself did not expect that after appearing in that dark room, suddenly the spiritual energy in his dantian seemed to explode, his Cultivation base immediately rose to the Immortal Realm as Mu Xian had said.
In that dark space, monsters kept coming towards him as if they were seeing prey.
After killing thousands of monsters equivalent to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, the monsters finally realized that they had chosen the wrong prey. They then fled to the tomb of the Demon Dragon King.
However, Xuan Ji followed them because he thought that the monsters must have escaped from that dark room. But it turned out they were headed for a strange tomb that kept spawning monsters endlessly.
Annoyed by constantly fighting monsters that kept being born endlessly, Xuan Ji then burned the tomb with a blue flame that couldn't be extinguished - so that when monsters were born, they would immediately be burned to dust.
As Xuan Ji was about to chase after a demon that was escaping, he saw a Crystal containing enormous spiritual energy still intact within the blue flame in the tomb. His blue fire didn't seem to be able to devour the Demon Crystal.
Xuan Ji took it and absorbed it for ten days while sitting cross-legged inside the tomb of the Demon Dragon King that was burning with blue flames.
After absorbing the Demon Crystal's spiritual energy, he resumed hunting monsters and demons that had escaped into another part of the labyrinth with its many passageways. Thanks to following the Demon, he finally arrived in front of a large door carved with a dragon. He then punched the door, shattering it to pieces, and found a dozen Warriors wearing clothes bearing the emblem of the Martial Sect.
However, they seemed to be pressured by the intention to kill him, and their expressions were as if they were seeing a ghost.
“Where is this place? Are we on the Tianwu Continent?” Xuan Ji spoke again after his introduction was not answered by the youths.
"Oh, uh, ah ... yes, we are on the Tianwu Continent. This place is the Labyrinth of the Demon Dragon King's tomb which only opens once a year," replied Hua Yuerong hastily, afraid that if she didn't answer immediately, Xuan Ji would be angry with her. “Let me introduce myself, my name is Hua Yuerong, Senior Ji. A disciple of the Tianzun Sect from the central region."
Xuan Ji nodded slowly, it turned out that he was really on the Tianwu Continent. However, it was a shame that he was separated from his three disciples who were now nowhere to be found.
He hoped the three of them were doing well out there and would soon enroll in one of the great Sects on this Tianwu Continent. However, before looking for the Teleportation altar to the Tianlong Continent, he had to make sure of their condition by visiting all the great Sects on this Tianwu Continent.
Xuan Ji was about to say something, but the deepest part of the labyrinth began to collapse. Maybe because the Demon Dragon King's tomb had stopped supplying spiritual energy, so all the mechanisms in the labyrinth stopped working.
"We have to get out of here, this labyrinth will collapse!" shouted Xuan Ji.
"O-okay, Senior Ji," Hua Yuerong replied, running immediately.
Xuan Ji followed Hua Yuerong, adjusting his steps so that he was always one step behind them.
Su Yang let out a long sigh and regretted not being able to make the corpses of the monsters into his puppets. Even the mission given by the Heavenly System failed to materialize, so he failed to become a Warrior of the Immortal Realm.
All these unexpected events were caused by Xuan Ji.
He really hated that young-looking old man. If he was stronger than Xuan Ji, he would send him to the underworld. Because irregular entities seem to be able to influence the development of the cultivation of Protagonist Figures like him. The reincarnation was supposed to be the chosen one to save the world.
"Don't tell me I'm reincarnated as a Villain? And... this mysterious figure beside me is the real Protagonist." Su Yang's goosebumps immediately stood up when he thought about it, cold sweat also dripping from his forehead. If he were the Villain, then Xuan Ji would kill him to make this world a peaceful one.
Xuan Ji suddenly turned to Su Yang and said with a wide grin, "You smell like those who gained power instantly."
"Huh?" Su Yang was startled to hear it and thought that maybe Xuan Ji knew he had the Heavenly System or Xuan Ji also had a more sophisticated System.
"Don't be afraid, I've never eaten a human. If it's eating the Demon Emperor's heart, I've done that before," Xuan Ji said again with a flat expression even though his words were just a joke, making Su Yang look even more scared.
However, what he said about the smell was true. Somehow he felt a strange power hiding in Su Yang's body. It was similar to the Old Man's Soul hiding in the body of Zhou Fan, the young man who held a grudge against his disciple, Xiao Yue. But the strange power hiding in Su Yang's body seemed to be multi-functional, as it could bring out meat sandwiches and move around him.
