...
Outside the Cloud Reliance Pavilion’s annex, a peach blossom forest spans over several thousand acres.
Situated on a plateau, Southern Desert region experiences a cold and dry climate, with extre day-night temperature differences. Despite it being sumr, the temperature remains quite low. The variety of peach blossoms in this forest must be a specially bred type, carefully maintained to remain in bloom even now.
Under the moonlight, the splendid peach blossoms look like pink clouds, casting an indescribably romantic and aesthetic scene.
However, at this mont, Zuoqiu Qingyun was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the peach blossoms. He had barely flown far from the annex when he descended to the ground, weaving his way through the peach blossom forest.
He dared not fly high in fear of being intercepted. And the primary reason he can fight against higher ranks is due to Elder Jiang’s spirit possession. This enhances his Divine Soul Power rather than his Mysterious Energy.
If he kept flying using the Divine Soul Power, Elder Jiang, who is rely a spirit remnant now, would soon be exhausted.
Zuoqiu Qingyun, swift in his movent, occasionally used the ground and trees to leverage his montum, making him light and fast. Like a bird threading through the forest, he dodged around quiet as a fish, passing by without making a sound.
"Elder Jiang, what exactly is that damn woman’s background?" Filled with resentnt and unwillingness, Zuoqiu Qingyun couldn’t help but roar in his heart.
If not for that mysterious woman’s interference, he would’ve had Tian Yan, the Sky People Realm Genius, in his grasp by now.
Once he had her as his Tripod Furnace, his cultivation base would increase drastically, swiftly advancing into the Heavenly Human Realm.
Unfortunately, everything is ruined now.
"Kid, sothing’s not right about today," Elder Jiang’s voice sounded in his mind. "That mysterious woman must possess extraordinary strength, yet she suppressed her bloodline power, attempting to hide her true identity. If she had really done her best, both of us could have fallen today."
"Elder Jiang, didn’t you say that you were a strong man at the peak of the Divine Power Territory from Celestia thousands of years ago, and you were just half a step away from the next realm?" Full of dissatisfaction, Zuoqiu Qingyun complained. "How could you be defeated by a re mysterious woman?"
"What do you know, Zuoqiu?" Elder Jiang was sowhat enraged. "I’m rely a spirit remnant now. If weren’t for your weak prowess, could we be beaten by a Heavenly Human Realm? I’ve previously reminded you to act modestly when your strength is insufficient to prevent making unnecessary enemies."
"Never mind, no use discussing it now. We need to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible."
As the two spirits in one body were bickering, Zuoqiu Qingyun had already arrived swiftly at the center of the peach blossom forest.
Suddenly.
Elder Jiang’s voice echoed in his mind, a trace of solemnity in the aged voice: "Young Zuoqiu, sothing’s not quite right. I vaguely feel like we’re being watched – we might be under surveillance."
Zuoqiu Qingyun imdiately looked around in alarm, but found no signs of danger. He couldn’t help complaining, "There’s nothing around but dense vegetation, let alone living creatures like insects, birds and beasts. Elder Jiang, aren’t you becoming paranoid?"
"Zuoqiu, be careful!"
Elder Jiang’s voice suddenly rose several octaves.
Before Zuoqiu Qingyun could comprehend what was happening, a sense of impending danger approached; he quickly executed a movent technique to evade.
"Swoosh!"
A blood-red vine flew past his chest, tearing his robe and leaving a trail of fresh blood.
In a fleeting mont, the blood-red vine disappeared into the deep peach blossom forest, leaving no traces behind.
anwhile, rustling noises could be heard throughout the shadowy peach blossom forest, as if filled with countless lurkers, with nurous sets of eyes secretly staring at them.
The atmosphere was inexplicably eerie.
"Who is there?" Zuoqiu Qingyun, his whole body filled with chill, shouted angrily, "If you have the guts, co out and face , the son of the Zuoqiu Family, instead of skulking about in the shadows!"
"Clap clap clap~"
A few crisp and clear claps suddenly ca from the depths of the peach grove. Discover hidden content at Freewebnovel
Along with the clapping, a magnetic male voice could be heard: "Who would have thought, the son of the Grade Four Prominent Family, the Direct Disciple of Xue Palace, would have another face."
As the words were spoken.
A handso man in white pushed away the obstructing branches, casually strutting out from the dense forest curtain.
It was apparent that he was the man who spoke.
On this starless moonlit night, the silver moonlight was brighter and more brilliant than usual. As he stepped out from the dense forest, the bright moonlight gradually spilled onto him. His plain white robe seed to glow faintly, enhancing his extraordinary poise that was already Dust Immune.
Also illuminated by the moonlight was a face that he found deeply morable and exceptionally irritating. Especially the smirk that curled at that man’s mouth was particularly glaring.
"It’s you? Wang Shouzhe!" Zuoqiu Qingyun’s face changed dramatically. "So tonight’s events were all your trickery? You’ve got quite so nerve trying to harm the Direct Disciple of the Academic Palace!"
Wang Shouzhe just raised an eyebrow, retracted the teasing smile, and replaced it with a cold one: "Mr. Zuoqiu, you should be aware that from the mont you commissioned ’Sky Pillar’ to deal with , we beca mortal enemies."
"Sky Pillar? How does he know about Sky Pillar?" Zuoqiu Qingyun’s face froze slightly, expressing so disbelief, then he suddenly realized: "Has Sky Pillar betrayed ?"
