Another place.
Lin Xiao advanced several thousand li forward and appeared in a stretch of forest.
Originally, he was still advancing rapidly, but upon hearing the sounds of fighting coming from the forest, he could not help but stop, descending towards the bottom and darting into the forest.
And at this moment, the sounds of fighting had already ceased. Before he even reached the location of the battle, Lin Xiao heard voices of several people talking coming from ahead.
“Fortunately, this spirit beast was not too powerful. Otherwise, we would probably all have been in trouble.”
One of them said, “However, it was still an early sixth-tier spirit beast. In this area, early sixth-tier spirit beasts rarely appear on ordinary days. I do not know what has happened recently, even early seventh-tier spirit beasts can be encountered by us. Fortunately, we met that woman in black clothes. Otherwise, the three of us probably would not have made it out.”
“Speaking of which, that woman is truly like an orchid in a secluded valley, the most beautiful in the world. With such looks, probably the entire Yang Province cannot find a second one.” Another person sighed in a nostalgic tone.
“Whether one can be found or not is another matter, but she is absolutely the most beautiful and the most alluring in charm among the women we have seen. Only, such a woman is absolutely not something we can imagine.” The third person also sighed.
Hearing the voices of the three people talking, Lin Xiao’s heart could not help but jolt. A woman in black clothes, could it be Feng Yourain?
Feng Yourain has always liked such attire of black clothes, black skirts, or black robes and the like. This preference might be related to her Nether Lotus phenomenon.
However, Lin Xiao did not rush to go and inquire.
After all, it is not only Feng Yourain who wears black clothes. It was him who was too sensitive, so he immediately associated it with her.
His gaze passing through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees, Lin Xiao saw three young men around twenty-five sitting in front of a huge spirit beast, extracting the spirit core.
There were some traces of blood on all three of them.
It seemed they had been injured by that early sixth-tier spirit beast. The strengths of the few were not very high.
At this time, the voices of their discussion rose again.
“With our talents and strengths like this, even if we are moved, we can probably only think about it. To obtain such a woman, we probably cannot do it in our entire lives.” Mentioning that woman, one of the young men in grey clothes shook his head.
“Even if our talents are ordinary, we cannot resign ourselves to fate and blend into the masses.” The young man in blue clothes said. As he spoke, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said, “I suddenly thought of a great opportunity.”
“What opportunity? Do not make it like this time, where the opportunity was not obtained and we almost died in the mouth of the spirit beast.” The young man in black clothes was somewhat disbelieving.
This time they came out for training, it was because the other had instigated them to come. In the end, six of them came out, half died, and he himself almost died in the mouth of the spirit beast.
The other young man in grey clothes also did not dare to believe it too much.
“This time it is different, there is no danger at all.” The young man in blue clothes said, “I heard that the Incendiary Sun Sect has a Martial Emperor genius named Chang Yang, who cultivates the path of yang desire, is lecherous by nature, has seen countless women in the world, and likes icy beauties the most. If we tell him about such an icy stunning beauty, we will definitely receive a huge reward.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao’s expression immediately turned cold.
Leaving aside whether the person in the three people’s mouths was Feng Yourain or not, this kind of thing where one repays kindness with enmity for personal gain had long made him deeply disgusted.
If he had not encountered it, it would be fine. Since he had encountered it, he would not ignore it.
Moreover, that person still had a slight possibility of being Feng Yourain.
He absolutely would not let such a thing happen.
“But she saved our lives!” Hearing the words of the young man in blue clothes, the young man in black clothes somewhat disagreed and retorted.
“She just happened to pass by and killed it casually.” The young man in blue clothes shook his head, a resolute light flashing in his eyes, and he countered, “To become a strong one, which person does not rack their brains, seize every opportunity, and improve themselves?”
“Which person is not ruthless and merciless, with hands stained with countless blood, climbing out from one corpse after another?”
“Which person is not giving their all, advancing courageously?”
“If not, with our ordinary talents like this, how can we stand firm in Yang Province in the future? How can we make a name for ourselves in Yang Province?”
Hearing this, the young man in black clothes immediately hesitated. Indeed, as the other said, if they did not seize every opportunity, it would be hard for them to achieve anything.
After all, their family backgrounds were all very ordinary, without sufficient resources, nor sufficient opportunities. If they did not exhaust every means, they might very well blend into the masses and find it hard to rise.
He also had ambitions and was unwilling to be mediocre.
“I agree with Brother Liu’s proposal. However, the Martial Emperor genius of the Incendiary Sun Sect is far from here. Even if we three pool all our resources together, it is not enough to enter the teleportation array of Zong Yan City. How can we reach the Incendiary Sun Sect?” The other young man in grey clothes spoke, his eyes also flashing with fervent light.
“With our strength, we naturally cannot reach the Incendiary Sun Sect. Even if we did reach it, that woman probably would not know where she has gone by then.”
The young man in blue clothes said, “We can only yield the way to others. In other words, pass the message to others, and let others pass this message to Chang Yang. We can only obtain benefits from the third party. Although the benefits will be much less, this is also our only way.”
The young man in grey clothes asked in confusion, “Then who should we find? The city lord of Zong Yan City?”
The young man in blue clothes shook his head, “The city lord of Zong Yan City is an old fox. If we tell him, there will absolutely be no share for us. On the contrary, he might even silence us to cover it up.”
“Moreover, he is suspicious by nature, cunning and conservative. With his status, he probably would not do such a thing.”
“Then, who else has the strength to enter the teleportation array?” The young man in grey clothes was puzzled.
“The genius of the Coiling Dragon Valley, Yu Huairu. Yu Huairu has always wanted to get close to the disciples of the Incendiary Sun Sect but has had no opportunity. If there is this message, he will definitely be able to connect with Chang Yang.”
The young man in blue clothes said, “After the secret realm of Ling Xi City ends, Yu Huairu will return from the teleportation array of Zong Yan City. At that time, as long as we pass the message to Yu Huairu, he will definitely reward us generously. He might even take us as followers. Then, we will have even greater prospects.”
The young man in grey clothes’ eyes lit up greatly, “This plan is excellent. Brother Liu is indeed wise beyond measure. I agree!”
Nodding his head, the young man in blue clothes looked at the young man in black clothes beside him and said, “Brother Zhang, what do you think?”
“I…” The young man in black clothes paused, hesitated for a good while, and said, “I will go along with you two!”
“Since it is so, the three of us, having trained through life and death together and sharing the same ambitions, why not swear brotherhood from now on?” The young man in blue clothes spoke at this moment.
The two were both stunned, then both revealed expressions of agreement and nodded, saying, “Good!”
