"Are you that strongest Soft Rice King—Pooh, pooh, pooh… I mean, Xiao Jietian, the Hall Master of Boundless Heaven Hall? Your appearance is quite good." Tang Huo'er, dressed in a red dress, continuously sized up Xiao Jietian as she asked.
Looking at Xiao Huiying, and then at Xiao Jietian's arm around her, she couldn't help but think he was someone who favored women.
She secretly thought, Is this the legendary strongest Soft Rice King acknowledged throughout the Central Plains? He's indeed quite handsome. No wonder he can live this life. I just don't know how those extraordinary women fell for this guy. Are they all looks-obsessed?
"Authentic, 100% genuine Soft Rice King. My handsome appearance is natural, and it really makes everyone jealous. I'm truly sorry." Xiao Jietian already knew his reputation in the outside world. He was the public enemy of most men, and the rich women he was with were all top-tier in quality, having looks, money, and strength.
This was simply the dream life of every man. Xiao Jietian had always been thick-skinned, and besides, this was originally his dream; he just accidentally achieved it.
This was all thanks to his persistence and effort in two types of cultivation, often pushing forward with all his might through the mud.
Xiao Huiying couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Her master's interests and hobbies were truly unique; he didn't care about his reputation at all, accepting these titles so openly without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
"…"
Hearing Xiao Jietian's words, the people of Burning Flame Valley and Xiao Yan, among others, were covered in black lines. This was completely blatant showing off.
I'm going to report this to the Central, to the Heavenly Court! This is completely unfair! We are all humans, why is there such a huge difference?
Even the usually straightforward Tang Huo'er was left speechless by Xiao Jietian's words. How could there be such a shameless person!
"Tian Ge."
Xiao Yan interrupted the conversation between the two, fearing that with her fiery and direct personality, she might say something shocking at any moment and displease Xiao Jietian.
Then, he waved his hand to erect a Dou Qi barrier, covering their group to prevent others from prying.
"Do you know which of those scrolls is a Heaven-tier Dou Skill?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Tang Huo'er, who had originally wanted to ask Xiao Jietian about what he had done to Burning Flame Valley and its controlled territories, also stopped speaking. Her eyes also held a hint of anticipation and fervor.
Xiao Jietian wasn't very interested in the Heaven-tier Dou Skill, the Great Heaven Creation Palm. Moreover, this item could only be cultivated by one person, so it didn't have much value.
"Heaven-tier Dou Skill is not that easy to obtain. You should know that a Heaven-tier Dou Skill is an extremely precious item, even to Dou Saint powerhouses. Each one can destroy heaven and earth."
"Moreover, a Dou Saint's methods are mysterious and unpredictable. Unless one is also a Dou Saint, there's no way to penetrate the methods left behind by a Dou Saint."
As Xiao Jietian spoke, some of his words were slightly emphasized.
Hearing Xiao Jietian emphasize 'to Dou Saint powerhouses,' Xiao Yan, who had grown up with Xiao Jietian, understood him very well. If he emphasized that, there must be a problem.
Xiao Yan repeatedly pondered, and finally, his eyes lit up slightly. He subtly looked toward the location of the Dou Saint's skeleton, then at the ten light clusters, and a flash of understanding appeared in his eyes.
"So you don't know either?" Tang Huo'er pouted, a hint of disappointment on her face.
"Alright, Huo'er, how can we easily see through a Dou Saint's methods?" Valley Master Tang Zhen gently patted Tang Huo'er's shoulder, signaling her to be quiet. Then he looked at the ten light clusters. "It seems we still have to rely on luck, but anything left by a Dou Saint must be extremely precious."
"The seal is about to disappear. You all should prepare to contend for them, but definitely do not be greedy or act rashly." Xiao Jietian glanced at the seal and said softly.
"Tian Ge, aren't you going to contend for them?" Xiao Yan asked curiously, seeing Xiao Jietian sitting on the Heaven-Reaching Flood Dragon without any intention of snatching the light clusters.
"No, I'm not good at fighting. Just watching the excitement is fine."
Xiao Jietian was not interested in these Di-tier Dou Techniques. With the amount of medicinal ingredients in that ancient forest, once medicinal pills were refined and space trade fairs or other large auctions opened, he could get as many Di-tier Dou Techniques as he wanted, like cabbages.
"If you're not going, then I will." Xiao Yan's eyes were also eager. The scrolls he snatched could then be placed in the Scripture Pavilion of Boundless Heaven Hall.
He had learned so many Dou Techniques there, especially the Heaven Demon Puppet Dou Technique, which had helped him immensely. It was time to repay Boundless Heaven Hall.
Suddenly, under everyone's gaze, the ten light clusters violently trembled, then erupted with a dazzling, intense light.
And within this intense light, the scrolls inside also transformed into streaks of flowing light at this moment, bursting out from within the light clusters!
As the scrolls shot out, the entire main hall instantly boiled over!
At the same time, the stone puppet statues around the stone seat also suddenly opened their eyes, which had been closed for countless years. A dense aura of killing intent permeated the air in that instant!
"Heaven-tier Dou Skill has appeared! Grab them!"
The other people present felt these light clusters, filled with ancient Qi, flying everywhere, and hurriedly used various methods to try and intercept and snatch them.
But those ten streaks of flowing light seemed to have a mind of their own, automatically turning as they flew, dodging all the large hands that reached for them.
As these scrolls flew intentionally or unintentionally, the entire main hall began to descend into chaos. Most people had already been consumed by greed, fighting fiercely for the scrolls. Many had already died, mostly from being ambushed or ganged up on by those around them.
"Tian Ge, when do we make our move?" Xiao Yan turned to look at Xiao Jietian.
"Not 'we,' but 'you all.' I have no intention of making a move." Xiao Jietian pointed at the puppets sitting on the ground. "They are about to fully awaken. That will be the most chaotic time. You all can make your move then."
Just after Xiao Jietian finished speaking, these puppets stood up, clearly fully awakened.
As soon as these puppets awakened, they immediately attacked the nearest people. These puppets were all at the Dou Zun level. When they attacked simultaneously, their momentum was extremely terrifying. In a short moment, the area within a hundred meters around the stone seat was stained with crimson blood, and a thick scent of blood permeated the air, causing people's hearts to tremble with fear.
Many people who had been consumed by bloodlust were startled back to their senses by this sudden slaughter.
The puppets didn't give them much time to react, charging directly into the nearest crowds.
These puppets were all Dou Zun-level, like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Apart from some major powers, no one had the strength to contend with them. They were often torn apart by these puppets after only two or three exchanges.
