Pride flowed out of her expression. “When Yan Ziqian breaks through to the Manifestation Realm, his Ice Drake Sword will no longer be usable, for it will turn into a wall that restricts his true power. On the other hand, my Formless Ruler can still be used even after I break through to the Manifestation Realm! This is what you call a true difference in power. It is also why Yan Ziqian did not dare to provoke me!”
The girls behind her all turned incredibly envious upon hearing her words. Their gazes that were watching the jade ruler also turned passionate.
“Na Nuo, we can continue our journey now.” From afar, Yan Ziqian turned his head. The coldness on his face was long gone, and there was even a warm smile on his face. “If the two of us join forces, then we can definitely defeat these three Rank Two spirit beasts. We will all gain a tremendous profit.”
When he was facing Na Nuo, he appeared to be polite and humble. It was partly because Na Nuo was incredibly beautiful, but the most important factor was still the fact that her true strength was astounding.
“Sure, lead the way. Speaking of which, that was really disappointing. The two of you actually didn’t fight each other.” Na Nuo seemed to be feeling extra bored by the results.
“That’s because Tu Ze has no balls.”
Yan Ziqian chuckled and signalled Yan Qingsong to lead the way. On the other hand, he and Feng Kai stayed in the back and actively mingled with the girls from Water Moon Sect. With cheer and laughter, they departed to the deeper section of the stone forest.
……
When Tu Ze, Zhuo Qian, and the others gave away the stone path, they had gone to the opposite side. The crowd wore dark expressions and no one said a thing.
They had been quiet for the longest time.
“Woosh Woosh!”
An evil black cloud flew past their heads and floated towards the area they previously departed from.
They paid it no attention.
An hour later, Gao Yu had suddenly appeared. The Ogre-faced Ring on his hands was shining with a dark light, and a powerful mind wave emanated from it.
Gao Yu’s face was dark, and his eyebrows were locked deeply together. Sensing the fluctuations from the Ogre-faced Ring while paying attention to the direction, he began heading towards the stone path Yan Ziqian and Na Nuo had walked through.
He saw Tu Ze and Zhuo Qian, but chose to ignore them and did not say a word.
“Gao Yu!”
Kang Zhi immediately lifted his head and called out after hearing the noise.
Zhuo Qian broke out of their depression and saw Gao Yu heading towards the stone path from before. They all frowned.
They were completely unfamiliar with Gao Yu, and because they heard that Gao Yu had tortured and killed a girl, Tu Ze and Zhuo Qian had even thought of him as an outcast and rejected him in their minds.
Gao Yu was originally an extreme loner in Nebula Pavilion, and other than Qin Lie, he had no contact with any people of his age.
Moreover Gao Yu was an extremely vindictive person, and anyone who talked behind his back would be beaten until they were severely injured — if it weren’t for Ye Yangqiu protecting him, some of his more extreme methods would’ve been punished by the Discipline Hall long ago.
Tu Ze and Zhuo Qian had no good will towards Gao Yu, but Gao Yu was a part of Nebula Pavilion. Seeing that he he might run into Yan Ziqian and the others if he continued in that direction, Tu Ze quickly informed him, “Gao Yu, don’t go that way. Shattered Ice Manor’s Yan Ziqian, Feng Kai, and Yan Qingsong are all there. If you go there alone, you might be in trouble!”
Gao Yu’s footsteps halted as he turned around and caught a glimpse of Tu Ze’s eyes. His already dark face suddenly turned evil and fearsome to the extreme. “Yan Qingsong is also there?”
Back at Celestial Wolf Mountain, Yan Qingsong had lobbed off the head of his younger clansman, and since then, Gao Yu had marked Yan Qingsong as the one person he needed to kill regardless of the consequences. The moment he heard that Yan Qingsong was also around, his old memories began to resurface once more, and this caused Gao Yu’s dark side to rise to its absolute peak.
Gao Yu’s gaze made even Tu Ze and Zhuo Qian feel chills. “Yeah, Yan Qingsong is around. Both Feng Kai, Ya Ziqian, and a few bastards from Shattered Ice Manor were all in one group,” Tu Ze answered.
“Noted.” Gao Yu nodded his head. Then, he no longer bothered with Tu Ze and the rest. With a dark face, moving even quicker than he was before, he headed in the direction of the stone path.
“This fellow is crazy, right? We already told him that Shattered Ice Manor is right there, yet he’s still going there to die?” Kang Zhi immediately yelled out.
“He’s absolutely sick!” Chu Peng too wore a dark expression. “Who does he think he is? He’s only at the ninth level of Refinement, what’s he going to do there? Court death?”
Tu Ze and Zhuo Qian’s expressions were also ugly; both were angered by Gao Yu’s actio
