Chapter 4697: Prove Your Identity!

"Boom."

"Rumble."

As the spirit's voice fell, the surroundings roared, and terrifying waves of Qi surged, pressing down heavily upon Xiao Xuan.

In an instant, Xiao Xuan felt the danger; the Nine-Story Pagoda was not simple, and it was no wonder the Tianyu Golden Immortal Realm could do nothing to it.

Xiao Xuan even suspected that perhaps even the Tianyu Golden Immortal Realm did not know the true strength of the Nine-Story Pagoda.

"Kid! Speak!"

"I… Damn it! I am… I am one of Lord Lin Tuo's people!" Xiao Xuan said in a low voice.

Xiao Fan had told Xiao Xuan about the name Lin Tuo; he was a very important figure in the Heavenly Court, as well as a very strange one.

"Lin Tuo? You… you say you are one of Lord Lin Tuo's people?!" The Nine-Story Pagoda was greatly shocked, and the terrifying Qi suppressing Xiao Xuan vanished.

"That's right!"

"You… what evidence do you have? To say you are one of Lord Lin Tuo's people?!"

"Evidence? Even if I had evidence, why should I tell you?!" Xiao Xuan said in a low voice.

From the Nine-Story Pagoda's words, Xiao Xuan could tell that the other party was a person from the Heavenly Court. As for why it had become the Nine-Story Pagoda, that was unknown.

Xiao Xuan was also not clear about why it was here.

"You… kid, speak honestly! What did you do in the Heavenly Court?!" The Nine-Story Pagoda shouted angrily.

"What did I do? An informant… responsible for gathering intelligence." Xiao Xuan curled his lips.

"Evidence? Produce evidence! Otherwise, I will kill you!" The Nine-Story Pagoda roared.

"Evidence? Ridiculous… even if I had evidence, why should I give it to you?!" Xiao Xuan shook his head disdainfully.

"Kid, you are courting death!"

"Hehehe… so I'm courting death, why don't you come and kill me?!" Xiao Xuan shouted back angrily.

"You, you, you…"

"You what? You haven't even stated your identity, yet you claim to be the Western Marshal. What is a Western Marshal? How would I know…" Xiao Xuan curled his lips.

Previously, when Xiao Xuan heard Xiao Fan talk about the Heavenly Court, there was simply no such thing as a Western Marshal.

"Your status is insufficient; it is normal that you do not know this seat…" The Nine-Story Pagoda was not angry, but rather very calm.

Moreover, times had changed, and the Nine-Story Pagoda was even less aware of what the Heavenly Court was like nowadays.

"My status is insufficient? I am one of Lord Lin Tuo's people! Is my status still insufficient?!" Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"Hehehe… there are many of Lin Tuo's people! Who knows which one you are?" The Nine-Story Pagoda sneered, and a light shadow, similar to a human figure, slowly condensed in front of Xiao Xuan.

"Kid, you must prove that you are from the Heavenly Court; otherwise, you must die…" The light shadow condensed by the Nine-Story Pagoda said in a low voice.

"I… I am from the Heavenly Court! How can I prove it?!" Xiao Xuan was furious.

"Hehehe… how you prove it is your own business." The light shadow sneered.

Xiao Xuan was helpless and performed a few unique Cultivation Techniques of the Heavenly Court…

"Will this do? Can this prove it?!" Xiao Xuan sighed.

"This… not bad, it really is the Cultivation Technique of the Heavenly Court." The light shadow nodded, revealing a look of amazement.

"Sigh… do you still not believe me?" Xiao Xuan shook his head helplessly: "Tell me, Western Marshal, what is going on with you?!"

"Me? Sigh… that is a long story." The light shadow of the Nine-Story Pagoda sighed; it seemed to have met a relative and began to tell its story to Xiao Xuan.

It was originally not the Nine-Story Pagoda; it was the master of the Nine-Story Pagoda and held a high position in the Heavenly Court. Previously, when the Nether Ghost Mansion attacked the Inner Domain, the Inner Domain and the Heavenly Court cooperated. At first, things were going well, but the Heavenly Court suddenly had a plan to take advantage of the Inner Domain's lack of preparation and conquer the Inner Domain first.

In that case, wouldn't their power be greater than that of the Ghost Mansion?!

It was a pity, however, that Xiao Haotian, who was around at that time, saw through it. Xiao Haotian struck directly and heavily injured him. Afterward, he fled and found an opportunity to let his Divine Soul enter the Nine-Story Pagoda, while his Physical Body feigned death.

Thus, he survived in the form of the Nine-Story Pagoda's spirit, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the present…

"Then how did you end up in the hands of the Tianyu Golden Immortal Realm?!" Xiao Xuan asked curiously.

"At that time, the Tianyu Golden Immortal Realm had a good relationship with Xiao Haotian, so it was given to them." The light shadow of the Nine-Story Pagoda sighed.

"So that's how it is…" Xiao Xuan nodded, understanding the sequence of events.

"Kid, has the Inner Domain not been suppressed yet? What is the situation in the Outer Domain? How is the Heavenly Court now?!" The light shadow of the Nine-Story Pagoda asked.

Regarding the fact that people from the Outer Domain could not enter the Inner Domain, the light shadow of the Nine-Story Pagoda was not aware.

Even if the light shadow of the Nine-Story Pagoda had known, Xiao Xuan could have easily found an excuse to muddle through it.

"Not yet, the Outer Domain is very chaotic, and the Ghost Mansion is too strong…" Xiao Xuan shook his head helplessly and, following his own memories, briefly described the affairs of the Outer Domain.

Many of the figures and locations were exactly the same as what the light shadow of the Nine-Story Pagoda knew, so it did not doubt Xiao Xuan's words at all.

"So that's how it is…"
