Chapter 12523
Fortunately, it was just an ordinary pebble that exploded the moment it hit him, causing little to no real damage.
If it were replaced with other deadly concealed weapons, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Shen Xiuluo broke out in a cold sweat, and his gaze instantly locked onto the man in the green robe, following the direction from which the stones came.
"Di Qingfan!"
Shen Xiuluo blurted it out.
The entire room fell silent.
The chaotic scene immediately stopped, and all eyes fell on the man in the green robe, with exclamations of surprise filling the air.
"Di Qingfan? The third disciple of the Emperor Saint, who is the strongest in the realm?"
Even someone as powerful as Shen Xiuluo had a look of fear on his face at this moment.
The man in the green robe glanced around, a deep look flashing in his eyes, before calmly rising to his feet: "Brother Shen, how have you been?"
Shen Xiuluo looked at him coldly: "Didn't you claim to have been in seclusion for a hundred years? Or is my memory so bad that I can't even remember this much time?"
Not only him, but all the experts from all sides were suddenly faced with Di Qingfan and felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they all felt like they couldn't breathe.
There's no other reason than that this third disciple of the Emperor Saint's reputation was simply too great.
A prime example is that this person is known as the strongest in every realm. As long as he is in that realm, he is undoubtedly invincible within that realm, without any exceptions.
Shen Xiuluo was already one of the top experts in Tianjun, second only to the Five Saints, yet he was defeated by this person.
And it wasn't just one defeat!
In addition, Fang Wuye, who is known as the strongest five-zhang Dharma Image, was also defeated by this person.
The title of the strongest five-zhang Dharma form was merely due to the fact that Di Qingfan announced a hundred-year seclusion to avoid participating in power struggles.
Now that Di Qingfan has returned to the martial world, even if Master Fang is still at his peak, he has to obediently give up the title of the strongest five-zhang Dharma form!
The most crucial point is that this person is the strongest in every situation. Even if he is suppressed by the strength of the track, he is still the most dominant person in the entire field.
none of them.
Di Qingfan smiled slightly: "That was indeed the case, but plans can't keep up with changes. My master gave me the order, so I had to leave seclusion ahead of schedule."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat again.
Was this person's departure from seclusion actually at the behest of the Emperor?
In other words, even Emperor Sheng is going to get involved in this track opportunity?
Normally, transcendent beings of the Five Saints of aristocratic families wouldn't disregard even this basic dignity and personally compete with these people for opportunities.
After all, ordinary opportunities are meaningless to them, even if they are seized.
Or is it that this opportunity on the track is equally useful for a master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form?
Is that possible?
Regardless of the circumstances, Di Qingfan's departure from the scene has already complicated the situation for everyone.
Snatching opportunities from others is completely different from snatching opportunities from Di Qingfan.
Shen Xiuluo sneered: "Since Brother Qingfan has also taken a liking to it, then you may go first. It's more acceptable for the opportunity to compete on the track to fall into your hands than into the hands of this ignorant fool."
The others also stopped what they were doing and watched Di Qingfan quietly.
Di Qingfan looked at Yang Wudi.
A single, calm glance was enough to make this unruly mountain village boy instinctively hold his breath.
From his perspective, the sense of oppression emanating from Di Qingfan alone far exceeded the combined pressure from everyone else present!
Di Qingfan suddenly smiled: "You all misunderstand. I am not here today to compete for the opportunity on the track."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, as long as Di Qingfan doesn't personally intervene, their chances will be much greater.
However, Di Qingfan's next words caused everyone's expression to change.
"My master has decided to take this young man under his wing. Since the opportunity to compete on the track today has fallen on his head, it can be considered as fate. I hope you all will give me face."
Shen Xiuluo blurted out, "The Emperor Saint wants to take him as a disciple? Are you sure?"
Everyone looked at Yang Wudi with strange expressions.
Aside from his unruly nature, they really couldn't see what qualifications such an ordinary mountain village boy had to catch the eye of the Emperor Saint.
Beyond the shock, there was even more envy.
If Yang Wudi can successfully absorb the opportunity today, he will directly rise from a commoner to a hundred-zhang Dharma Aspect, and more importantly, he will be publicly accepted as a disciple of Emperor Saint.
This is truly a meteoric rise to the top!
"I knew I was destined for greatness!"
Yang Wudi realized what was happening and burst into laughter. His previous tension vanished completely, and he looked at everyone with disdain once again.
In his eyes, the heroes of Tianjun were no longer worth mentioning.
Lin Yi also carefully observed the crowd.
You can't judge a book by its cover. Lin Yi never had the habit of judging people by their appearance. However, no matter how he observed, the final result was no different from that of the others.
From the inside out, Yang Wudi really has nothing special about him.
In terms of talent, he can only be considered average. He is indeed better than a purely ordinary person, but the improvement is limited.
Does the Emperor really intend to take him as a disciple?
Based on Lin Yi's observations, Emperor Saint is the most unfathomable among the five saints of the aristocratic families, and most likely the most unfathomable person in the entire Tian County. Naturally, he is also the most dangerous person that Lin Yi needs to be wary of.
Since Di Qingfan announced this publicly, it must not be a lie.
But the question is, what exactly is Emperor Sheng after?
Shen Xiuluo coldly snorted, "If you want us all to give you face, there has to be a plausible reason. What makes this kid worthy of the Emperor Saint's attention?"
The others echoed this sentiment.
Di Qingfan smiled and said, "I cannot explain the specific reasons in detail. Please forgive me."
"So there's no reason? Since there's no plausible reason, why should we give you that face?"
Shen Xiuluo sneered.
Di Qingfan is the third disciple of Emperor Saint, which is certainly something to be wary of, but he is also the eldest son of the Killing Saint, and he is no pushover either.
Even if he had lost to the opponent once before, it doesn't mean he has no chance at all.
Besides, today's match isn't one-on-one.
Shen Xiuluo immediately rallied the crowd: "Opportunities on the track depend on one's own abilities. Let's all work together and make sure no unknown kid takes advantage of us!"
He then attacked Yang Wudi again.
The others glanced at the progress bar above Yang Wudi's head, which was now over 70%, and immediately launched a coordinated attack without hesitation.
If they were to act alone, they might not dare to.
After all, no one dares to offend Emperor Sheng.
But now, the law doesn't punish everyone, especially with Shen Xiuluo leading the way, so that's a different story.
With the countdown intensifying, everyone was clearly no longer holding back, and the intensity of their attacks was significantly higher than before.
However, Di Qingfan stopped him alone.
Di Qingfan simply stood in front of Yang Wudi, and he was like a mountain, firmly protecting him behind him.
Despite being of similar strength, even with everyone attacking him so fiercely, he managed to defend against it flawlessly.
