Chapter 176 - 175: Seeing a Ghost

“Waiter, can you tell me where the Tianwang are now? We’re eager to meet them,” Jiang Li asked the waiter directly.

The waiter was flabbergasted. Who did this customer think he was, dreaming of meeting the Tianwang? He’d have better luck meeting him instead.

“My lord, you must be intoxicated. The Tianwang reside in the Upper Realm. How could mere mortals like us possibly meet them? Even when their representatives, the current Celestial Emperor, is in the mortal world, their meetings can only happen in dreams. ” “And where is the Upper Realm?”

“I don’t know.”

After dismissing the waiter, Jiang Li shared his theory that the Tianwang might destroy the world with Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin, concluding with, “Within the range of my Divine Sense, I could not find the Upper Realm. It should be a place similar to a secret realm, hard to locate.”

In Jiuzhou, the Immortal Realm was also referred to as the Upper Realm. Yet Jiang Li didn’t believe that the Upper Realm in Jiuzhou’s understanding was the same place here.

Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin nodded, agreeing with Jiang Li’s assumption that the so-called Upper Realm was a secret realm, not the Immortal Realm.

After they had eaten and drank to their hearts’ content, Bai Hongtu suggested that they continue exploring the area.

Noticing the four leaving, a few sinister-looking men trailed behind them.

A young warrior in white followed suit.

The four entered a small alley where the sinister men split into two groups, trapping them from front and backside.

One of them stepped forward, licking his knife blade as he grimaced wickedly, “Heh, inexperienced bumpkins, flaunting your wealth in public and even bringing a pretty woman along. We’ll teach you a lesson today. In the martial world, you must neither flaunt your wealth nor beauty!”

Bai Hongtu was on full alert. These men dared to besiege him, a Martial Artist at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and must have prepared beforehand. Perhaps all of them were at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Though they only appeared as Martial Artists at later stages, it was undoubtedly a disguise. Could it be their mere guts?

This was indeed a miscalculation. There were so many powerful beings at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in this world. A fierce battle was imminent! “The candied haw in this world tastes almost the same as in Jiuzhou.” Jiang Li casually commented on the candied haw he’d just bought, ignoring the robbers.

“Should we consider meeting the Emperor? He might have a way to meet the Tianwang,” Yu Yin suggested.

“That’s worth considering.”

“Hey, you guys, stay in character. Can’t you see that these guys are working hard to rob us? Can’t you at least pretend to be scared?” Bai Hongtu was upset. He seemed to be the only one afraid, while even Abu had a nonchalant expression.

Jiang Li and Yu Yin ignored Bai Hongtu.

“How dare you act so bold in broad daylight! Don’t be scared. I’m here. These villains won’t harm you!”

The young man in white emerged to rescue the four unsuspecting victims.

The young warrior moved swiftly, and the strength that came from his bones showed he was a Pre-Heaven Martial Artist.

His swordsmanship was particularly powerful, both defensively and offensively. He seemed to have practiced hard for over a decade.

“His skills are roughly at the same level as mine on the day I started learning the sword,” Bai Hongtu praised.

The thugs were indeed just Martial Artists at the post-birth stage, unable to defeat the young man in white. They ran away in defeat.

Having defeated his opponents, the man in white re-sheathed his sword and bowed respectfully, “Ladies and Gentlemen, there is no need to ask for my name. When I saw you in trouble, I just couldn’t help myself. I do not seek any rewards.”

He noticed something odd. Neither were Jiang Li and his friends relieved to have survived the ordeal, nor were they grateful to him. Their reactions puzzled him.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, “If you genuinely want to reward me, then believe me in one thing — our history was forged by the Tianwang. The

Tianwang are invaders!”

He didn’t wait for their response and stylishly walked away.

Suddenly Jiang Li asked, “How much did you pay those men?” Caught off-guard, the man in white replied, “Two taels of silver.”

“That’s quite a lot of money.” Jiang Li clicked his tongue. Two taels of silver could buy a lot of candied haw.

Jiang Li could tell right away that they were just acting. Their actions were too exaggerated. This young guy in white didn’t exert any force at all, but the thugs fell one by one, and then fled in panic.

The young man in white felt extremely embarrassed. He had been caught red-handed in the act. Could it be any more embarrassing?

He did not leave. Instead, he sincerely said to Jiang Li and his friends, “My rescue act was a ruse, but what I said is true. The Tianwang really are invaders. Our history is fabricated.”

“I believe you.”

“Maybe you won’t… Wait, you believe me?

The young man in white was pleasantly surprised. He had always been committed to making people understand that their history was false. But no one believed him when he said it out right. If he announced it in public, he’d be arrested by the authorities. So he staged this act, portraying himself as a just and righteous young hero, and then told the people he rescued that their history was fabricated.

However, it yielded little results. No one believed him.

“Not only do we know that your history is false, we also know that Martial Artists used to live up to eighty years old,” Jiang Li smiled.

“How… how did you find out?” The young man in white knew about this because of his family origins. Could these people belong to those secret hereditary families that had been secretly existing for hundreds of years?

The Tianwang altered history and naturally targeted those hereditary family clans, all of which were destroyed by the Tianwang over three hundred years ago. The current hereditary family clans only have a history of three hundred years.

The young man’s family was one of those that had managed to survive that brutal era.

It was a pleasing surprise to find out that besides his own family, other clans had also survived.

“We heard it from him,” Jiang Li pointed at Abu.

“You?” The young man in white only just paid attention to Abu.

“My surname is Bu, as in cloth. You can call me Bu Dong.”

Interestingly, although Zhu Zhu had given Abu his name, Abu’s real surname was indeed Bu.

“Why does this name sound so familiar?” The young man in white blinked, slowly recalling a plate he had seen in his family’s secret chamber, “Isn’t it the same as my ancestor’s younger brother?”

The young man’s family was originally surnamed Bu, but they changed it to Bu to escape persecution.

“This kid is obviously the type who’s not too smart but has money to burn,” Bai Hongtu communicated his thoughts privately, “Using this method to tell people that history is false, he’d be lucky if it worked.”

Abu looked rather odd. He was his father’s second son and had an older brother, “Wouldn’t your ancestor’s name be Bu Jing by any chance?”

Abu’s father’s name was Bu Wu, and the name of Bu Wu city was based on his name. Abu’s father believed in the combination of motion and tranquility in martial arts, the concept of Yin and Yang, so he gave his two sons the names Bu Jing and Bu Dong.

Abu’s mother once said that their father initially wanted to name them Bu Yin and Bu Yang, but changed their names due to her persistence.

The young man in white backed away as if he had seen a ghost.

To comfort him, Bai Hongtu kindly said, “Don’t be afraid. We’re ghosts. I’m

White Impermanence.”

He pointed at Jiang Li, “He is Black Impermanence.”

Then he pointed at Yu Yin, “And she is… no, she’s human.”

Seeing Yu Yin ready to pull out her Ruyi gourd and fight, Bai Hongtu quickly shut his mouth.

To prove that he was a ghost, Bai Hongtu let his body undergo Ghostification, hovering his feet in the air and casually moving through walls.

Witnessing this, the young man in white was so frightened he nearly fainted..
