My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 98 Life
"Where am I? Where am I?"

In a daze, He Xu opened his eyes and saw a lush grove of flowering trees, their fragrance filling the air.

'Am I currently in Qinghui Garden in Huangtian?'

He paused for a moment, got up, turned his head, and saw a young man with a cold expression.

'It's not Huang Tian!'

His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

"He Xu?" Xue Ting's calm voice came from behind. "I remember you stayed with Huang Tian for more than ten days?"

He Xu's mind raced as he guessed what this person had brought him here. He then asked Huang Tian what he meant and cautiously replied, "I did indeed live with him for ten days."

"During the time you lived with him, did you see anything special about him?"

"special?"

He Xu paused for a moment, then thought back, "No... I don't think so. He just practices hard every day. Apart from his good aptitude and comprehension, there's nothing special about him."

"He didn't do anything unusual?"

"Maybe not."

Seeing the young man's persistent questioning and desire to find out something, He Xu's unease grew stronger. This person was clearly not on the same side as Huang Tian, ​​and didn't seem like a kind person at all.

Xue Ting pressed further, "Has he been secretly eating anything behind your backs, or does he have any strange items on him?"

"No... I have never seen it."

Xue Ting's gaze turned icy as he stared intently at He Xu. "You're not lying to me?!"

He Xu trembled, "I...I would never dare to lie!"

He knew that it was best not to offend the person in front of him at this moment, otherwise, if this person had the ability to secretly capture him, he also had the ability to kill him silently!
Xue Ting frowned deeply, looked He Xu up and down, and could tell that the latter was very uneasy and fearful, so what he said should not be a lie.

'Could it be that Huang Tianzhen never obtained any secret treasure?' he pondered.

Throughout the history of the Five Realms, many people have obtained secret treasures left behind by their predecessors, which allowed them to advance rapidly in their cultivation levels and become powerful figures in their respective regions.

For example, a Grandmaster of the first rank from six hundred years ago obtained a special divine weapon when he was young. That weapon had the effect of tempering his bones and accelerating the condensation of true qi, which made his realm rise rapidly!
Besides divine weapons, what else could there be? Relics containing the life-long power of a first-grade grandmaster, pearls that can purify true energy, three-thousand-year-old ginseng, and demonic swords that can absorb the true energy of others…

Various kinds of mysterious treasures and rare items have created many powerful figures who have become renowned in their respective regions.

This is why, after hearing about Huang Tian's feat of breaking through several realms in a month, Xue Ting's first thought was not that this person had excellent aptitude and comprehension, but rather that he was very likely to have obtained a magical treasure by chance!
“Uncle Li!” Xue Ting looked at Uncle Li, who was standing to the side.

Uncle Li immediately stepped forward and walked up to He Xu, raising his palm. His palm was as black as ink and emitted a foul odor.

"W-What are you going to do?"

He Xu retreated in fear, but how could he possibly dodge the attack of a fourth-rank expert?

With a thud, a palm struck his chest. The next second, he felt as if his internal organs were on fire, his breath burning like molten lava. Waves of heat seared his bones and flesh, causing his body to convulse and he rolled wildly on the ground. "Ahhh!! I...I really don't know anything!! Let me go! Let me go!"

Tears and snot streamed uncontrollably down his face, and the intense pain made his voice pierce with agony.

Xue Ting watched him roll on the ground screaming in pain with a blank expression, completely unmoved.

After a long while, seeing that he was about to lose his breath, he gently waved his hand. Uncle Li then struck out with his palm again, but this time it did not contain any fire poison; instead, it was as cold as frost.

A cool, refreshing current flowed into He Xu's body, causing him to let out a deep groan.

Lying on the ground, his muscles and bones ached, and he looked at Xue Ting with a look of fear, his body trembling slightly.

The latter said coldly, "I'll give you one more chance. Think carefully, is there anything strange about him, or anything special about him?"

He Xu gasped for breath, his mind racing, but as the memories deepened, he broke out in a cold sweat and trembled as he said:
"I really can't believe it! He's exactly like all the martial arts students at Wei Academy, with no unusual behavior and no strange treasures. Please, let me go..."

Xue Ting sighed. Even with such fear, He Xu still gave the same answer. It seemed that He Xu truly knew nothing.

He gave Uncle Li a meaningful look, and the latter understood, walking towards He Xu.

He Xu was terrified. He pushed himself back with his hands on the ground, shouting, "Is anyone there? Murder! You can't kill me! Huang Tian and I are roommates and good friends. If you kill me, he will never let you get away with it!!"

Xue Ting scoffed, "Roommate? As far as I know, you're not only not his friend, you've also offended him. It's just that he doesn't care about an ant like you, otherwise you would have been thrown into a ditch long ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shuping casually slapped He Xu on the head, causing the latter to convulse and remain motionless.

Only his eyes were wide open, seemingly reflecting the scene from two months ago when he first entered Weixue and spoke confidently to Huang Tian and Jiang Hou:
"I don't want to be just a strongman, being bossed around every day. I need to at least be a high-ranking officer, a minor flag officer, surrounded by a dozen or so people whenever I go out. That's what makes me a person of importance..."

Pong!
A burst of true energy and flames burned his corpse to ashes, which vanished without a trace with a gust of wind.

“Young Master, He Xu and Huang Tian have been living together for over ten days without him knowing, and it’s unlikely that anyone else knows either. What should we do now?” Uncle Li asked.

Xue Ting pondered: "Either Huang Tian truly doesn't possess any secret treasures, and his rapid cultivation is purely due to his exceptional talent, or he is extremely cautious and careful not to let anyone discover his secret..."

It seems the former is more likely, Uncle Li, we're probably going to have to return empty-handed this time.

Uncle Li now also leans towards the idea that Huang Tian is simply a genius, and said, "In that case, let's return to the city."

Xue Ting pondered for a moment and said, "There's no rush to go back. Since we're already here, let's stay a while longer. First, let's see if we can get closer to Huang Tian. If we can befriend a future grandmaster, then this trip will not have been in vain."

Secondly, humph, Uncle Li, do you think anyone besides us would want to uncover Huang Tian's secrets? Those people will definitely keep testing Huang Tian, ​​and if he really is hiding a big secret, I reckon he won't be able to keep it in the end!

His words still revealed that he had not completely given up on the pursuit of the so-called secret.

Uncle Li said, "So, we're going to be on good terms with Huang Tian while standing by and watching him fight those people?"

"That's right, no matter what the final outcome is, at least we won't lose out!"

Xue Ting smiled slightly, confident and assured.
