Ding Fan heard the words from the other side and took a deep breath, then took out a Sky-Shattering Pearl. It was his last Sky-Shattering Pearl. Initially, Ding Fan intended to use the pearl as a lifesaving last resort, but now his strength clearly didn't require it. However, it's important to know that the Sky-Shattering Pearl is extrely valuable to any cultivator below the Ergence Stage. Even Ergence Stage cultivators wouldn't easily use it recklessly.
Then Ding Fan pulled Ye Ningbing to a safer position. Ding Fan took considerable risks for Ye Ningbing this ti. Using the Sky-Shattering Pearl was one thing, but if the Yuan Beast discovered their presence, their situation would beco exceedingly perilous.
But Ding Fan, seeing Ye Ningbing's resolute gaze, disregarded all concerns. For Ye Ningbing, anything was worth it.
Holding the Sky-Shattering Pearl, Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to communicate with the middle-aged man:
"Prepare, start!"
Imdiately, Ding Fan mobilized his True Qi and threw the Sky-Shattering Pearl to a spot not too close nor too far from the middle-aged man, resulting in a thunderous explosion.
Rumble...
A continuous thunderous sound burst forth.
The Yuan Beast's intelligence wasn't very high, but it had an instinctive protective ability when faced with danger. Such a loud noise instantly attracted the attention of many Yuan Beasts. For a mont, the Yuan Beasts near the middle-aged man looked with so panic toward the explosion. At this mont, the middle-aged man seized the opportunity and quickly executed Ding Fan's pre-planned route to slaughter his way forward.
In an instant, the Yuan Beasts under the middle-aged man's feet were swiftly slain by him as he sprinted towards Ding Fan at top speed.
anwhile, Ding Fan stood by the cave entrance, prepared with concealnt thods, watching so Yuan Beasts noticing the middle-aged man's movents and also discovering the cave. Ding Fan promptly unleashed Wind Blades towards them.
At this mont, any Yuan Beast that discovered the cave was promptly slain by Ding Fan with a Wind Blade. Ding Fan's actions were extrely swift and agile, preventing any other Yuan Beast from noticing them for the ti being.
Hoo...
The middle-aged man in the white shirt charged into Ding Fan's cave in one fluid move, finally relaxing his tense nerves.
At this mont, Ding Fan surveyed his surroundings; no Yuan Beast had discovered the cave yet, allowing him to let go of his worries. As the dust from the Sky-Shattering Pearl settled on the other side, the Yuan Beasts near the boulder realized the middle-aged man was no longer there and started howling in dissatisfaction.
After so searching, the Yuan Beasts eventually gave up and ran towards the distance.
In the cave, everyone watching the scene finally breathed a sigh of relief. The middle-aged man in the white shirt looked sincerely at Ding Fan, gratefully clasping his fists:
"Thank you, young hero, for the rescue! Thank you all for your help! I, Li Zong, will never forget your kindness and will repay it greatly."
At this mont, Ding Fan looked at him. He had a dium build and handso features, reminiscent of an elegant scholar—a charming middle-aged man. Ding Fan heard his words, smiled faintly, and said casually:
"It's nothing, just a small effort."
Others, seeing Li Zong's sincere deanor, felt sowhat comforted. Everyone took risks disregarding their safety to rescue him, but fortunately, he was grateful and polite, leaving a very good impression.
Especially the two divine warrior girls who stared at Li Zong in amazent, murmuring:
"Such a handso brother..."
"Yes, yes..."
At this mont, the two divine warrior girls seed to be sowhat infatuated, gazing at Li Zong with a curious delight.
Hearing the girls' words, Li Zong smiled shyly:
"Hehe, how could I be prettier than you two! Even in such a dangerous place, there are two beautiful young girls here. This area is close to the Thunder Abyss; it's too dangerous. You shouldn't have brought them here."
Initially, Li Zong was taken aback by the girls' beauty, but soon realized how dangerous it was for them to be here. Even for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, caution was paramount, given unknown dangers. Concerned, he asked thoughtfully.
After hearing Li Zong's words, He Qianyao and Ye Ningbing felt even better about him, recognizing him as grateful and compassionate, enhancing their positive impressions.
Ding Fan watched Li Zong, smiled faintly, yet maintained a hint of wariness in his smile. Although Li Zong's words and actions seed flawless, exuding kindness and compassion, Ding Fan was puzzled by the strong air of bloodiness he sensed from him.
Ding Fan, with keen senses, noticed things others couldn't see, clearly detecting sothing amiss with Li Zong. Although his deanor gave no cause for concern, Ding Fan's intuition was certain. He kept his guard, maintaining friendliness outwardly.
"Oh, these two little girls are..."
At this mont, Ding Fan was about to explain when suddenly Li Zong exclaid, directly interrupting Ding Fan.
"Are they divine warriors?"
At this mont, Li Zong appeared incredulous. Clearly, after observing the two little girls, he found they were divine warriors, which was sowhat startling. For a mont, Li Zong was at a loss. Divine warriors were not easily encountered, and yet the two little girls standing before him were divine warriors. Li Zong's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of a sly smile flashed across his face.
Li Zong then crouched down towards the two little girls and said amiably,
"You are truly amazing, not only are you so beautiful, you will definitely beco great beauties in the future, but you are also cultivators of spiritual cultivation, which is simply excellent! Can we be friends?"
At this, the two divine warrior little girls were filled with joy and promptly replied:
"Of course we can,"
"No problem, hehe..."
Clearly, the two divine warrior little girls were very happy, evidently pleased by the complints.
When Li Zong heard the response from the two little girls, he appeared sowhat sly yet seemingly sincere as he said, "That's great!"
After speaking, Li Zong stood up and smiled warmly at He Qianyao, who was next to the two little girls, saying:
"Haha, these little ones are truly adorable!"
He Qianyao heard this and responded with a charming smile, nodding as she said, "I think so too."
Ye Ningbing watched this scene unfold and smiled faintly, clearly having a good impression of Li Zong. It was evident that he was a smart person, seeming optimistic and easygoing.
He Qianyao's thoughts were quite similar to Ye Ningbing's, having a good impression of Li Zong, noting his ability to quickly blend into their group with just a few words, obviously a capable person. Moreover, He Qianyao could also see that he appeared to be very easygoing and kind.
Ding Fan agreed with so of He Qianyao's points but not entirely. Ding Fan acknowledged that Li Zong was indeed a clever person, having quickly integrated himself into the group. However, Ding Fan also caught a glimpse of cunning in Li Zong's eyes, sothing very few could hide from Ding Fan. Thus, his vigilance towards Li Zong increased significantly.
Ding Fan understood that when Li Zong realized Tiantian and Jia Jia were divine warriors, a hidden ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, a change unnoticed by others but caught by Ding Fan.
Inexplicably, Ding Fan's alertness towards Li Zong grew even more intense.
"Yes, they are divine warriors. We are also planning to enter the Thunder Abyss."
At this mont, Ding Fan spoke to him with a calm deanor. Having spoken, Ding Fan turned his gaze towards the two little girls, yet his Divine Sense was locked on Li Zong, trying to observe any unusual signs.
"Enter the Thunder Abyss? How could they, knowing how dangerous it is?"
When Li Zong heard Ding Fan's words, his face showed a mont of surprise, and a flash of glee appeared instantly but was quickly replaced by a worried expression.
Ding Fan captured that fleeting glee, smiling lightly to himself, knowing that Li Zong was not as simple as he seed. Yet, Ding Fan didn't reveal this, instead asking curiously:
"Is it very dangerous?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zong's face first showed nervousness and then a look of ulterior motives as he said,
"Of course it is dangerous! The Thunder Abyss is not a place an ordinary cultivator can enter. Even soone at my Nascent Soul Peak cultivation level would think thrice before entering, as encountering danger could be fatal. But the Thunder Abyss does contain many treasures, offering both risk and opportunity."
Upon hearing this, the two little girls' faces beca very serious. Clearly, they held a good impression of Li Zong and would consider his words seriously, and as Ding Fan had previously ntioned, the Thunder Abyss was indeed a dangerous place. Yet they had no choice but to enter since their purpose in the Cultivation World was to seek that item.
"But if you insist on entering, I can guide you. Having been there before, I am sowhat familiar with it, increasing safety. Consider it as repaying a favor."
After a fleeting hint of cunning in his eyes, Li Zong spoke sincerely.
Hearing this, Ding Fan chuckled to himself, knowing Li Zong's promise was not as pure as it seed, having ulterior motives. Though unaware of Li Zong's true intentions, Ding Fan knew they must go to the Thunder Abyss. Observing the two divine warrior little girls' expressions, it was clear they were determined to go. With a faint smile, Ding Fan glanced playfully at Li Zong and remarked:
"Then I'll trouble you, brother!"
