Chapter 1364 - 1365: Arrogant as Ever
Simply because, it’s too beautiful.
This group of people was no one else but Xiao Tianyu and his companions, who had disappeared for half a month.
In truth, during this half month they hadn’t vanished at all, they were simply staying in an inn in the Ancient Perfect City, never showing their faces, so their tracks had naturally disappeared from the Ancient Realm.
After making inquiries, they had come here to the Celestial Mirror Ghost Cave, drawn by its reputation.
"According to what I’ve found out, within this Celestial Mirror Ghost Cave there’s an ancient road, only thirteen steps long. Only by passing through that Ghost Cave Road can one truly enter the cave, but throughout the ages, no one has ever gone beyond those thirteen steps.
"So, all these years, no one knows what lies within the Ghost Cave!"
Bai Bufan’s voice went on and on.
Xiao Tianyu nodded, and the group moved with the wind, drawing out streaks of afterimages in the boundless void. Not long after, they saw ahead a place where quite a number of people had gathered.
Most of these people were just there to watch the spectacle.
After all, the Ghost Cave was far too dangerous, and those thirteen steps were a road of death. Since ancient times, how many brilliant figures had left their bones here?
Very broad, a tall mountain came into view ahead.
At the foot of the mountain was a natural barrier, and at the barrier a vortex had formed into a black hole—that was the Ghost Cave entrance. Crowds of people were gathered there, the surroundings on both sides shrouded in a faint radiance, lending the Ghost Cave an air of mystery.
Xiao Tianyu said calmly, "The reason the secret of the Ghost Cave has never been discovered is because I have never come here before!"
This was the confidence that came from Xiao Tianyu.
Mo Qingluan’s beautiful eyes flickered as she glared hard at Xiao Tianyu, but Xiao Tianyu indeed had the qualification to be this arrogant.
Others might not know, but Mo Qingluan knew all too well—this man before her was a peerless figure with thirty-six strands of Residual Spirit. Looking across the heavens, who could compare? As long as he didn’t die, one day he would step onto the Peak of Martial Arts, becoming someone millions looked up to.
"It’s them?" The moment Xiao Tianyu’s group appeared in the sky, someone recognized them, drawing many gazes. Someone asked, "You know them?"
"Of course!" That person nodded and said, "That man at the head is Xiao Tianyu, the one who killed Yan Kuan atop the Soul Stele. Who would have thought that after disappearing for half a month, he’d show up at this Celestial Mirror Ghost Cave? Does he not know that people from the Luoshen Sect and the Qianhe Sect are searching everywhere for him?"
As these words were spoken, swish swish~ countless gazes focused on Xiao Tianyu and his group. This half month, the Yanzhou Ancient Realm had been in an uproar, all because of them. Everyone had originally believed these few had already gone into hiding, not daring to show themselves—never expecting they would actually appear here.
Very soon, under the gaze of the masses, Xiao Tianyu’s group landed on the ground.
At that moment, Xiao Tianyu raised his head to look ahead, and actually felt a mysterious will directly sweep through his mind. A terrifying pressure of will fell upon him, as if intent on crushing the will of Xiao Tianyu.
The closer one drew to the Ghost Cave, the stronger this oppressive will became. If one were to step onto the Ghost Cave Road, this pressure was something almost no one could endure.
"It really can’t be compared to the Soul-breaking Stele!" Interest rose in Xiao Tianyu’s heart. Just standing here, he could feel that this place was an excellent ground for tempering one’s will.
The stronger the will, the stronger the talent.
Aside from Xiao Tianyu’s group, there were many other outstanding figures here at the Ghost Cave. These people all had extraordinary temperaments, and some had already stepped onto the Ghost Cave Road, enduring the pressure of will.
If one’s will was not firm, one would be smashed to pieces.
"Juechen Sword Sect’s Jian Wushuang is here too!" Someone cried out in surprise, as Sword Power permeated heaven and earth. In the void, a white-clothed figure was seen riding his sword over, dashing and carefree.
Only, the innate icy Sword Intent emanating from his body was almost unbearable.
Jian Wushuang had long since made his name in the Yanzhou Ancient Realm. It was said that half a month ago he had even climbed to the top of the Soul-breaking Stele, becoming one of the peerless figures.
After Jian Wushuang arrived, several more figures appeared whom Xiao Tianyu found quite familiar. For no other reason than that they were Zhan Xiao, Zhang Feng, Duan Sanqing and the others.
Among them, Duan Sanqing, who had been crushed by Xiao Tianyu atop the Soul Stele, now looked extremely unpleasant.
As for Zhan Xiao, he gave Xiao Tianyu a strange look. Clearly he had not expected that after half a month, Xiao Tianyu would appear here. In his eyes, showing up here was no different than seeking death.
After all, the Qianhe Sect was currently hunting him, and among them were people from the Luoshen Sect.
"You’re Xiao Tianyu?" At this moment, a pure voice drifted out from the crowd. A young woman was looking at him with a faint smile. Xiao Tianyu’s gaze swept over her once. "What, is there a problem?"
As his voice fell, everyone watched him curiously.
"On the Soul-breaking Stele, you crushed Duan Sanqing, stepped on his shoulders to reach the nineteenth level, then killed Yan Kuan. Right now in the Ancient Realm, who doesn’t know the name Xiao Tianyu?" The woman’s voice continued ringing out.
"It was just dealing with some trash, nothing worth mentioning." Xiao Tianyu replied with a smile. He sounded humble, but how could that not be arrogance?
Yan Kuan, Duan Sanqing—such figures, and in his eyes they were merely trash?
Swish swish~
Many strange gazes fell on Duan Sanqing. His face was deathly pale, yet he had no words to refute.
He’d been defeated by Xiao Tianyu—what qualifications did he have to argue now?
"Can I say that you’re very arrogant?" the young woman asked.
"I’m used to it." Xiao Tianyu answered naturally, making the woman burst into continuous giggles. Was this him admitting he was arrogant?
But thinking it over, it was understandable. In the battle at the Thousand Cities, this guy Xiao Tianyu had declared that under the Luoshen Sect’s level of Divine Separation, there was no one. If Divine Separation didn’t appear, he could flatten the Luoshen Sect.
The Luoshen Sect was reputed to be Yanzhou’s number one sect.
So, what words could be more arrogant than that?
This questioning young woman was the favored child of heaven from another great power, named Luo Qiu.
"Brother Zhang, you can tolerate this?" Zhan Xiao sent a voice transmission to Zhang Feng in the distance. Zhang Feng’s cold gaze fixed on Xiao Tianyu. As a disciple of the Luoshen Sect, how could he stomach Xiao Tianyu’s slander?
"Just a crazed thug."
As Xiao Tianyu and the others stepped toward the Ghost Cave, Zhang Feng finally couldn’t hold back and spoke.
As a disciple of the Luoshen Sect, if Xiao Tianyu appeared and he showed no reaction at all, what would the people here think of him? That he was a coward, afraid to challenge Xiao Tianyu? If so, where would Zhang Feng’s face be?
After all, in these parts, Zhang Feng was a quite renowned figure.
With those words, many gazes fell on Zhang Feng, all tinged with oddness. Was Zhang Feng finally unable to endure and going to teach Xiao Tianyu a lesson?
But on Broken Soul Mountain, Xiao Tianyu had killed Yan Kuan.
So, was Zhang Feng really his match?
Even the ever-cold Jian Wushuang turned his gaze on Xiao Tianyu, though no great ripples showed in his eyes.
"You want to seek justice?" Xiao Tianyu narrowed his eyes, giving Zhang Feng a glance full of amusement. Before Zhang Feng could speak, Xiao Tianyu said again, "Bufan, I’ll leave him to you to practice."
Everyone: "..."
Still just as arrogant as ever!
