I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Because Yan Yingsi was present, Zhao Feiyue couldn’t linger much longer.

Whether it be Liou Yuan or Qiu Ming, neither are ones to swallow their anger.

Yet, Yan Yingsi is also fearless of heaven and earth; if things were to escalate, it would be impossible to subdue.

After bidding farewell to Liou Yuan with a cupped hand, they vanished together with Yan Yingsi above the darkened Earth Erosion Land.

Leaving Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming standing at the mouth of the valley.

Both were left with unfavorable impressions of Yan Yingsi, and Qiu Ming directly cursed, "Miss Zhao is such a beautiful lady, how did she end up entangled with that madwoman Yan Yingsi?"

Liou Yuan didn’t know what fate connected the two, so he casually replied, "Maybe it’s due to the relations of their family elders."

Saying this, Liou Yuan also cursed, "Yan Yingsi earlier wanted to act against us, it’s not false. This enmity, young master will remember."

"You’d better take care of yourself and think about how to survive once you leave this Earth Erosion Land." Qiu Ming’s face was full of worry. After Zhao Feiyue’s question earlier, he had no time to pay attention to Yan Yingsi.

He hurriedly advised through gritted teeth, "After leaving, just stay by my side. My great-grandfather has some face on Five Extremes Mountain; the Liou Family will take heed of me and certainly won’t dare to attack directly."

"Let us hold on as long as we can."

"Understood." Liou Yuan did not refuse Qiu Ming’s suggestion.

Though he was confident he would be fine, he feared the Liou Family would strike with lightning speed, not even giving him a chance to struggle.

That said, Liou Yuan did not forget to tease Qiu Ming, "Are you really not afraid the Liou Family will become enraged and kill you too?"

"Hmph! I bet they won’t dare. In the old Qiu Family, I’m the only young sprout they have left. If they dare kill me, my great-grandfather will go mad."

"At that time, he’ll slaughter all the younger members of the Liou Family."

Qiu Ming snorted, his voice utterly steady.

He dared to behave tyrannically on Five Extremes Mountain largely because of his great-grandfather.

Liou Yuan understood the reasoning therein, silently pondering, "Indeed, once a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator is unburdened, it can be a terrifying prospect."

"Owing Qiu Ming a favor in this matter."

The day marking the end of the Outer Sect training arrived as expected.

Within the Earth Erosion Land, the seal hanging in the void above, casting light upon the Earth Erosion Land, burst forth with light a hundred times stronger at the conclusion of the training.

Almost simultaneously.

The waist tokens worn by the outer disciples within the Earth Erosion Land were affected by the seal, also emitting a milky white bright light.

Bands of milky white halo burst forth on the land within the Earth Erosion Land.

Encased in that halo, the outer disciples’ bodies gradually rose into the air, heading towards the Earth Erosion Seal in the sky.

At the entrance of the valley.

The disciple tokens at the waists of Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming, who had long been waiting outside, also bloomed with radiance.

Beneath the halo, Liou Yuan only felt his legs lighten, followed by his body lifting off the ground.

Qiu Ming was right beside him.

The two exchanged a glance, reading solemnity in each other’s eyes.

Even someone as poised and composed as Liou Yuan inevitably felt anxious at this moment.

At his core, he was rebellious by nature, and after a brief unease, his eyes quickly changed, taking on a cold gleam.

"Let’s see how the Liou Family intends to deal with me."

Within Five Extremes Mountain, atop the Holy Spirit Platform.

This giant platform connecting with the Inner Sect was presently steeped in a killing atmosphere.

Before the training started, the Protector Liou Le Yao, who accompanied Zhao Zhuoran at Sect Leader Xuanyi’s side, now stood with a murderous aura, coldly staring above the Holy Spirit Platform.

A gigantic illusory portal rose in the void above.

The portal led directly to Earth Erosion, through which one could vaguely see the scenes within Earth Erosion.

Her cheekbones were prominent, her features originally stern, further accentuated by a black Daoist robe, making her appear even more sinister.

Her True Essence surged with her emotions, roaring like waves within her body, raising a heavy thundering sound on the Holy Spirit Platform.

Besides Liou Le Yao, there stood two other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The one on the left was corpulent, clad in a red Daoist robe,

A blue belt was strung over his large belly, yet against his robust waistline, it seemed weak and ready to snap at any time.

The fat Daoist’s eyes appeared aflame, glaring angrily with Liou Le Yao at the portal to Earth Erosion.

On the right was an elder.

He was hunched, his back slightly bent by the heavy shackles of time, yet also exuded an indescribable sinister aura.

Clad in a dark gray robe, its fabric dull, intricate patterns embroidered upon it rendered indistinct under the Holy Spirit Platform’s light, resembling hidden poisonous snakes.

His deeply-set eyes, triangular, slightly narrowed, akin to murky yellow gems but occasionally flashing sharp, chilling gleams, reminiscent of a wolf hunting its prey, striking fear into hearts.

Together with Liou Le Yao, these three constituted the visible Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Liou Family.

Except for the Patriarch of the Liou Family who wasn’t present, nearly all foundation members of the Liou Family were in attendance.

The reason was quite clear, the Life Mirror of Liou Tao, the Five-Star Star Acupoint hope of the Liou Family, had shattered.

The Liou Family is one of the seven paramount families of Five Extremes Mountain, so this matter absolutely couldn’t be left unresolved.

Now, three Foundation Establishment cultivators stood blocking the Holy Spirit Platform, their intentions were obvious.

Besides the Liou Family’s three Foundation Establishment cultivators, Zhao Zhuoran, Mr. Zhao, naturally, was also present.

But he stood at the perimeter of the portal leading to the Inner Sect, calm and detached, as if the matter did not concern him. His sharp gaze occasionally swept over the Liou Family’s three Foundation Establishment cultivators, bearing contemplative nuances in his depths.
