When Zong Shou’s figure finally disappeared into the snow, Ye Feihan forcefully broke out of Ye Feishuang’s control, staring at her sister and furiously saying, “Sister Shuang what are you doing? Younger Brother Shou saved our life, why did you treat him like that?”
Ye Feishuang was expressionless, “We must be wary against others. We have so many treasures on us and we can’t tell others about our identity. If he wants to kill us and take it, what could we do? This person is really deep and didn’t reveal anything even after three months with us. We didn’t even know he was a dual cultivator who had reached such a high realm. Maybe he had some reasons for being together with us…”
“Kill us? Bad intentions?” Ye Feihan smiled in rage, “I only know that if younger brother wanted to attack us just now we didn’t stand any chance at all. Sister, do you really think that way?”
Ye Feishuang’s breathing stopped, not shaken at all, “Even if he didn’t have bad intentions we have to be wary. Our race and his race are enemies, thousands of years ago many of our ancestors died by the hands of the Sky Fox. Maybe in the future, we will become enemies!”
“Sister you were the one that said it was tens of thousands of years ago! What does it have to do with now? Don’t bully me for not knowing anything, but these few thousand years we haven’t had any connection with them…”
Ye Feihan bit her lips, tears building up in her eyes, “Forget it, I won’t argue with you. Younger Brother Shou is a good person and not as bad as you think he is. I like him…”
She stomped and ran into the distance. Ye Feishuang stood rooted to the ground, sighing softly. How could she not know what Ye Feihan was talking about?
Shaking her head, she jumped up in the direction of her sister and chased.
Not long after the two girls left, two more people appeared in the snowy land.
It was one male and one female. The male was tall and muscular and looked quite handsome, while the girl was elegant and very pretty.
Their faces were filled with shock as they looked carefully at the two huge holes in the ground.
After a long while, Lei Dong blinked, “I must have seen wrong. Little Clown Yanran, why not lend me your hand to pinch?”
Zhao Yanran didn’t say anything, stabbing out with her sword. She didn’t have any killing intent but the sword was evidently sharp and vicious.
Lei Dong frenziedly flashed away and left his spot, appearing two hundred feet away, scolding, “You crazy woman! Forget it, I’ll pinch myself…”
Pinching his own face, his mouth instantly tilted. It was really painful!
The two were totally silent. It was only until a small breeze blew across that covered the giant hole in a layer of snow, that Lei Dong opened his mouth once more. His expression was constantly changing, “Little clown, that fellow really broke into Xiantian!”
Zhao Yanran acknowledged his words but didn’t say anything, only starting at the two holes. She could see some rough sword marks. The strength of the sword technique was evident.
Although the sword attack wasn’t complete, it made fear rise from the bottom of one’s heart.
Although the person had left long ago, based on the marks he left he could let off an immense pressure which suppressed her to the point that she couldn’t breathe, her confidence fading. She lost the ability to raise any intention or thought of going up against him.
Lei Dong frowned, “Your reaction is just that? This fellow actually relied on nobody and broke through to Xiantian? Remember that there were only five people that have broken through the barriers of heaven?”
“There are six now!”
Zhao Yanran rose her head, her eyes recovering some liveliness, “Adding in Zong Shou there are six! However not relying on external help and breaking through on his own, during these ten thousand years he’s the only one…”
Lei Dong exclaimed, “So within heaven and earth he is the only one? I remember that everyone who could break through the barriers of heaven all became Grandmaster Realm experts, correct?”
“The only one! That’s right!” Zhao Yanran nodded and replied simply.
Lei Dong tried his best to calm down, though he was still quite dispirited, his expression very hesitant and complicated, “I thought that the barriers of heaven would stop him for a few years. In the end, it only took him three months! When did this fellow become so strong? It seems like my stone is becoming more and more worth it. Who knows what will happen between my uncle and your teacher? I’m only afraid that they may fight so much that it can’t end. What should we do now?”
Zhan Yanran’s eyes lit up, a sharp glow appearing. Lei Dong smiled, looking in the direction of the two girls, “Your Seven Spirit Sect always go all out and stops at nothing, do you want to get rich? I saw that there are at least two Grade Nine Spiritual Artifacts. You can disguise yourself as a Juelong City person while I save the damsel in distress and get some riches, how about that?”
Zhao Yanran stared viciously at him, “Are you crazy? If you want to die I won’t accompany you!” After she spoke she turned around and left.
Lei Dong pulled at the corner of his lips, touching his head before sighing in pity. Soul Nourishing Stones, Soul Accumulating Pearls, he also wanted them.
Suddenly he was astonished as he turned around and looked into the distance, only to see two giant eyes open up where ice and snow once was. It looked at him from afar, teasing him.
Lei Dong gave a bitter smile, he was really just joking. Actually, he never had any of these thoughts. That was true!
At the same time, in a valley thousands of miles away, the atmosphere was really dense.
Relying on spiritual techniques to attach to Lei Dong and Zhao Yanran’s body, these two people knew everything that happened like the back of their hands.
Which was why they were even more shocked.
“He actually broke through to Xiantian and became a Night Wandering Spirit Master. How quick, really quick! Unbelievable, really unbelievable…”
Shui Lingbo murmured. She then suddenly dashed into the air, not bothering with anything as she ran toward where Zong Shou was.
On a mountain a hundred miles away, a glow appeared in Yan Fan’s eyes. He didn’t hesitate to pull out his sword and swing downward. Energy stretching a hundred thousand feet like that of a traveling dragon followed closely behind Shui Lingbo.
He put everything into that sword swing. This battle was now one of life and death!
※※※※
“Why is there suddenly thunder, the weather was so good?”
Zong Shou sat on the wooden raft and looked up into the sky at the dark clouds. He was thinking that it was about to rain as he studied the two items that Ye Feishuang gave him.
Sword Accumulating Pearl, an item that accumulated something all sword cultivators need. Gathering all sorts of essence energy and storing it within a pearl, it turned into a sword form and was transforming into a sword foundation.
He could directly merge with it but he hesitated. Taking a close look, he was astonished for a while before he threw it back into the bag by his waist.
Next is the Sword Nourishing Stone. This thing was not bad and was something he could use. He casually pulled out the Lightning Tooth Sword and placed the stone on it.
When Zong Shou activated his true qi, one could immediately see threads of golden lines seep out from the stone and spread on the sword body.
Just one look and Zong Shou knew that these were the spiritual energy veins within the sword. However, when the thread seeped in, it continued to spread, though half of it stopped and was blocked off.
Zong Shoun sighed. Not only was his spiral energy too overbearing, but his spiral sword stance was also really strong.
Just using it twice made this Spiritual Weapon that came from the hands of a Sword Sculpting Master from the Desolate Era nearly broken.
Luckily that girl had such a stone. The use of this item was to recover Spiritual Weapons. As long as it wasn’t broken, all kinds of heavy damage could be recovered.
The item within his hand could reach Grade Six and was a really rare Spiritual Artifact. It was more than enough to recover his Grade Two Lightning Tooth Sword.
Ye Feishuang said that to compensate him for saving their lives with these two items was appropriate.
As expected, in just a few moments those golden threads started to repair the cracks on the sword. In just fifteen minutes the lighting tooth sword was as good as new, giving off a spiritual light which was no weaker than before.
Zong Shou was delighted. With this Sword Nourishing Stone, he wouldn’t be afraid of sparring and fighting people with the sword in the future.
“That’s right! There’s also that glove…”
Zong Shou took out two items, the gold silk glove and a three feet spiritual sword.
The sword was a Spiritual Weapon which had reached Grade Three and was made better than his Lightning Tooth Sword. However it was of the golden element, and the sword body was long with two techniques, Sharp Break, and Cutting Edge which made the sword really sharp.
“I can’t use this sword but Xue’er needs a Spiritual Weapon, so it is suitable!”
Before this when he killed Mingjue Zong, Shou threw away all his items. However now he had no worries at all.
The Demon Mountain Sect was strong but since the two of them had already found him it was impossible to hide anymore.
Anyways, since this animosity already existed Zong Shou naturally wouldn’t give up on both of their items.
There were pills and beast crystals in the bag which Zong Shou happily accepted. As for the Demon Sect’s evil items, he destroyed them and let them sink into the water.
The items were really strong but Zong Shou didn’t like them. What sword cultivators truly feared was impurity.
The only thing he liked was the glove. It should be mixed from a type of thousand-year spider silk and spiritual gold. It didn’t fear gold or iron and wasn’t afraid of poison.
In a sword fight, it could reduce true qi injuries by up to thirty percent.
Putting the item on his hand, he found it was a good fit. It could expand and construct, tightly fitting on his skin with no gaps.
Apart from that, there weren’t any other good items.
Zong Shou laughed, as in front of him was the shore as well as the exquisite wooden house built on high land.
Hu Zhongyuan was training with the knife and letting off the roar of a tiger over and over again. Three months ago when Zong Shou left him he had also been like that.
Looking from afar, it was looking more and more like the suppressive strength that Hu Qianqiu used that day. The difference would be that Hu Zhongyuan added in his own martial path, which made it less direct and instead more illusionary.
There was also Zong Yuan who was well behaved and training in basic spear techniques.
At the start, he was really restless and just went through the motions. However, after being scolded a few times, he became serious and started to look more decent.
Just as he looked on with a smile, a light “huala” spread from behind the raft. Behind him was a slight wind that one was unable to discern the origin of.
All the muscles on his body clenched, and he felt a shiver down his body. After a short while, he smiled and relaxed.
In the next moment, a warm body hugged him from behind. Chuxue hung tightly behind him, laughing, “Young Master why did you come back so early? You didn’t go train today?”
