"Daniel, you should stay here. I'll go in and take a look myself."
Bliss looked at Daniel as he spoke.
At this point, they had almost reached a halfway point down the mountainside.
A little further, and they would be able to see the very bottom of the gorge.
"If we really run into Godfrey, at most, I'll get beaten up. There shouldn't be any major issues."
Bliss didn't want to drag Daniel into trouble because of his own choices.
After all, entering this place had been his own decision.
It had nothing to do with Daniel.
So Bliss felt…
He couldn't burden Daniel.
Whatever happened, he would handle it himself.
"In reality, that guy was clearly provoking you on purpose,"
Daniel said as he looked at Bliss.
It was obvious that Watson had deliberately goaded Bliss into coming here.
Even Daniel could see that at a glance.
Watson had been intentionally pushing Bliss into this trap.
And Bliss… didn't seem to have any second thoughts about it. He just walked straight into it.
Hearing Daniel's words, Bliss smiled and replied,
"Daniel, honestly, I knew from the beginning that he was provoking , trying to lure in here. It's just that…"
Bliss hesitated for a mont before continuing,
"When I ate the wish fruit, the wish I made actually ca true here.
So I have no choice but to co here.
But Daniel, there's no reason for you to go down with ."
Hearing this, Daniel imdiately understood.
Bliss had co down willingly—because of another reason.
Which ant…
His wish, the one he had refused to reveal, was connected to this?
Realizing this, Daniel had nothing more to say.
Just then, Watson's voice ca from above:
"Bliss, why did you stop? Are you scared?
It's fine, you still have ti to turn back. It's not embarrassing."
"As if I'd be afraid!"
Bliss shot back and continued walking downward.
At that mont, just as Daniel was about to say sothing,
he suddenly sensed an incredibly sharp killing intent.
Reacting instantly, he grabbed Bliss and yanked him backward.
Pulling him away from where he had been standing.
The mont Daniel completed that action—
A loud explosion erupted in the spot where Bliss had just stood.
Yes!
Just now, an attack had struck right where Bliss had been.
Such an attack…
Proved that the assailant had no intention of holding back.
They had aid to kill Bliss directly!
If Daniel hadn't intervened, Bliss would have likely suffered severe injuries,
leaving him vulnerable to a finishing blow.
Bliss broke out in cold sweat.
He had never expected that the senior disciple would actually try to kill him outright.
That strike just now…
If he had been unprepared, he would have died on the spot.
Seeing this attack, Daniel was equally puzzled.
They were all fellow disciples—
How could soone go straight for the kill like that?
Wasn't it a rule of Thousand Suns Hall that disciples were forbidden from killing each other?
Just then, a figure suddenly approached.
A woman with a frosty expression,
her cold gaze locked onto Bliss.
"You still dare to co in here?
Are you challenging my patience?
Do you really think…
I wouldn't kill you?"
Her icy words made Bliss snap to attention.
"Oh no!"
"She's here too!"
Bliss muttered under his breath.
The mont Daniel saw the woman,
he knew she wasn't Godfrey.
No way a senior brother would look like this!
"So… who is she?"
Seeing Bliss's reaction, it was clear he knew her.
So Daniel asked directly.
"She's the woman with the unicorn bloodline!
She only recently joined Thousand Suns Hall."
Not only that…
She had only entered the secret realm not long ago.
Yet she had already made it here.
Her na was Freya.
Bliss continued explaining,
"They say she grew up in so special organization,
so she has a natural hostility in her personality."
"Especially when she fights—she's absolutely ruthless."
Bliss sighed as he spoke.
He hadn't expected Freya to be here.
Hearing Bliss's introduction, Daniel quickly pieced things together.
So that was it…
Watson had deliberately provoked Bliss because he knew Freya was here.
And judging from Freya's tone,
soone had likely entered before and had already been warned.
Daniel glanced back at Watson.
It was probably them.
Which ant this ti, Freya wasn't bothering with warnings anymore—
She was attacking directly.
"Freya, I warned them not to enter,
but they just wouldn't listen."
Watson called out from above.
Freya rely cast him a cold glance.
Hearing Watson's words,
she more or less figured out the situation.
The necessary punishnt had already been delivered.
If these two still insisted on moving forward,
then she would not hesitate.
But for now, she had another target to deal with first…
In the next instant,
an attack suddenly landed on Watson's chest.
Although Watson had been prepared,
he was still sent flying backward dozens of ters,
spitting blood as his face turned pale.
Clearly, he had anticipated that Freya's attacks were near-instantaneous.
So he had been on guard.
But this ti…
Freya's attack was much stronger than before.
As a result, Watson suffered serious injuries.
That strike—
was a warning.
Next ti, it would be death.
Watson's petty tricks didn't fool her at all.
And to Freya, such sches were nothing more than an annoying buzz—
Like a mosquito constantly droning near her ear.
But she had no patience for such things.
So she went straight for the kill.
If Watson hadn't been prepared,
he would have died on the spot.
After that, Freya turned away,
ready to return to her previous spot.
But suddenly, she paused—
As if rembering sothing.
"I already said,
anyone who cos down here—
dies."
As she spoke,
her eyes, filled with killing intent, locked onto Bliss.
Bliss took two steps back,
his entire body breaking out in cold sweat.
But just then, Daniel stepped forward.
Positioning himself between the two of them,
he spoke:
"I think that's enough."
The mont Daniel finished speaking,
all the killing intent directed at Bliss vanished completely.
Freya turned her gaze to Daniel,
her brows furrowing.
Until now,
she hadn't paid any attention to him.
But suddenly—
She realized sothing strange.
This guy…
Had just erased all of her killing intent?
Who exactly was he?
Freya's killing intent locked onto Daniel.
But…
Daniel remained utterly unfazed.
Not the slightest ripple in his expression.
"Who are you?"
Freya asked coldly.
"? I'm about the sa as you.
I was chosen by Thousand Suns Hall during the Enlightennt Competition and brought here."
Hearing Daniel's answer,
Freya was briefly stunned.
Then she realized—
She couldn't quite gauge his strength.
Freya then said,
"Step aside.
This has nothing to do with you."
"Killing intent isn't necessary.
We're all fellow disciples."
Daniel said calmly.
"Fellow disciples?
Do they deserve that title?" Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Alright, how about this—
Listen to ,
just shake hands and make peace."
As Daniel spoke,
he secretly activated a soul imprint.
Freya scoffed.
As if she'd shake hands with him.
Who did he think he was?
Did he really believe he had the right to negotiate with her?
But just as she was about to say those words—
She suddenly realized sothing.
At so point…
She had already extended her right hand.
