This guy really doesn’t consider himself an outsider!
"Scum?" Lin Fuxiang burst into laughter, and i Yixiang beside her also revealed a smile, as for Feng Lianqing, she was already laughing so hard that she was rolling back and forth. Among Zhou Heng’s backyard group, those three were definitely the least shrewd.
"Cha Sui, not scum!" Cha Sui hurriedly clarified, but this statent only kept Lin Fuxiang and the others laughing nonstop, and even Zhou Heng and the rest couldn’t help but show their amusent.
"Cha Sui from Xiwei Xueling City!" Zi Yingming showed a serious expression, "I’ve heard about you a long ti ago!"
"So I’m actually that famous!" Cha Sui laughed heartily, looking completely carefree.
Zi Yingming hailed from Xiwu City, which was naturally a tier above Xiwei City from the perspective of Immortal City status. However, since both cities were of the Sunshine Realm level, the difference between the power backing these two individuals was likely in the number of experts rather than the levels of the Martial Realm.
It’s like the powerful families of Xi You City also only have the Peak Moonlight Emperor, but there could be as many as a hundred of them, far exceeding the numbers of the Situ Family.
In this regard, Cha Sui indeed has no reason to fear Zi Yingming.
"Scum, why did you choose such a weird na?" Lin Fuxiang asked curiously, as childlike as ever even after several years had passed.
After fidgeting for a while, Cha Sui said, "My two masters were simply too lazy to na , always calling ’scum,’ so I had no choice but to go by Cha Sui!"
Everyone was dumbfounded; it turned out ’scum’ was indeed correct, and Cha Sui was the misinterpretation!
Who are this guy’s masters, and why are they so unreliable?
However, his words also revealed another piece of information: he must have been an orphan, otherwise there wouldn’t be an issue with his na.
"Are Mr. Gold and Sliver Grandma doing well?" Zi Yingming stood up, speaking with a very respectful attitude.
"Both my masters eat well and sleep well; they couldn’t be better!" Cha Sui said nonchalantly, tearing off a chicken thigh and starting to gnaw on it. The fat dripped down from the corner of his mouth, and without any courtesy, he picked up a jug from the ground and guzzled several mouthfuls of wine.
"Who are your masters, and why does that guy seem so reverent towards them?" Feng Lianqing asked Cha Sui; she also had a fearless nature.
"Mr. Gold and Sliver Grandma were originally Loose Cultivators, but they both broke through to the Sublimation King a few thousand years ago!" Zi Yingming took over the conversation.
"Eh, aren’t low-tier Immortal Cities not supposed to harbor high-tier cultivators?" An Yui said curiously.
"It’s not that high-tier cultivators aren’t allowed to exist, it’s that they are not allowed to establish their power in low-tier Immortal Cities!" Zi Yingming explained, "Mr. Gold and Sliver Grandma have been secluding themselves in Xiwei Xueling City for tens of thousands of years and only took in a disciple two thousand years ago. They were reclusive and hard to et; today we are fortunate to et Brother Cha!"
He looked at Cha Sui very warmly, as if he were looking at his own brother.
Zhou Heng smiled, knowing what Zi Yingming was aiming for. Cha Sui, like him, was a Loose Cultivator, and was certainly a valuable recruit. Moreover, Cha Sui had a very strong backing; if they could get Cha Sui to join their side, it was akin to gaining the support of two Sublimation Kings!
In the face of Zi Yingming’s enthusiasm, Cha Sui just smiled. He had encountered this situation many tis; although he was indeed talented, more people were interested in his backing.
No matter how proud Zi Yingming seed, his arrogance was selective. For instance, once he knew the identities of Zhou Heng and Cha Sui, he was exceedingly polite and even enthusiastic towards them—their intentions were not hard to guess.
Confronted with Zi Yingming’s ardent approach, Cha Sui remained unruffled, naturally knowing how to handle such situations after encountering them so frequently.
"Brother Cha, how about we team up temporarily until we find the Moonlight Lotus?" Zi Yingming got straight to the point, addressing Cha Sui. If the three of them worked together, they’d stand a chance against the group ahead of them.
"Sure!" Cha Sui grinned, once again looking happy-go-lucky.
Who among those who cultivated to the Moonlight Emperor would be a fool? This guy may indeed have a laid-back personality, but to say he was mindless was utterly impossible.
"This Starwind Trial has attracted quite a number of people!" Zi Yingming suddenly said with so emotion, "Zhu Xiaoran, Sun Yuchuan, Zhang Yuting, plus Brother Zhou, Brother Cha, and myself, that makes six!"
He completely regarded Zhou Heng as soone from a high-tier Immortal City, with the son-in-law of the Yang family just being a cover for his identity—just like him representing the Jin Family in battle.
It seed that the Moonlight Lotus was indeed quite alluring!
Zhou Heng had already shared his origins, but since Zi Yingming didn’t believe him, he didn’t feel like explaining further. His mind was on this Starwind Trial; the ripening of the Moonlight Lotus had drawn many from the high-tier Immortal Cities, which indeed made for a competitive atmosphere.
After everyone had eaten their fill, they continued on their journey, and after half an hour, they finally reached the end of the four gorges.
Zhou Heng took out an Order and pressed it there, and amidst a flash of Golden Light, the Restriction imdiately lifted.
Everyone hurried through, and whoosh, a cold wind blew over, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.
"Why is it so cold?" An Yui said shivering, hugging her shoulders.
"The Guardian Beast of this fourth gorge is the Ice Frost Giant Ape!" Zi Yingming continued, not understanding why Zhou Heng insisted on bringing so many won with them when they were clearly a burden.
Standing from his perspective, he didn’t want to say too much, only hoping that Zhou Heng had so tricks up his sleeve to prevent these won from slowing them down.
"Ice Frost Giant Ape!" Yang Lanxin’s pretty face tightened, showing a clear fear.
"Is this thing very powerful?" Zhou Heng asked.
"Not just powerful, it’s extrely powerful!" Zi Yingming laughed, although his expression was not as tense as Yang Lanxin’s, he still didn’t dare to take it lightly, "This demon beast is said to have been nurtured by ice and snow, not only is its body extrely cold, but it can also affect the surrounding environnt!"
Zhou Heng calculated the distance and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
The length of each section of the canyon should be about the sa, and it took half an hour of continuous walking to reach the end at their pace, indicating that they were still a very long distance from the Ice Frost Giant Ape.
But having covered such a long distance, the temperature here was already chilling to the bone, so just how cold would it be when they got near the Ice Frost Giant Ape?
The Moonlight King might be frozen to death, and even the Moonlight Sovereign would find it impossible to move their limbs!
Zhou Heng couldn’t help but look at Huo Tian, who had the cultivation level of a Peak Moonlight Emperor; the extre cold was sothing he could withstand, but what about Ying ngfan and the other ladies, who were only at the Moonlight King level?
If Huo Tian couldn’t take care of all of them, then it would be better to have them stay here temporarily, and he could pass by after slaughtering the Ice Frost Giant Ape.
Huo Tian had been looking at the ground as if sothing extrely intriguing lay there, but her divine sense was so keen that she imdiately noticed Zhou Heng’s gaze. She raised her head, gave Zhou Heng a look, and then nodded.
The two shared a considerable understanding; neither spoke a word, yet both understood what the other ant.
Zhou Heng felt greatly assured; since Huo Tian had nodded, there were no problems.
"Let’s go!"
The group continued on, and after just five minutes, the temperature beca even more bitterly cold; wind howled through the valley like a blade against their skin, forcing even Zhou Heng, Zi Yingming, and Cha Sui to circulate their spiritual power in defense.
Black Donkey shouted loudly, forcing its way into Zhou Heng’s protective spiritual power and said, "Lend so heat!"
It was only at the level of Moonlight King, and although it had snagged a huge pile of treasures in the Mortal Realm, hardly any could be used in the Immortal Realm. Moreover, this was the extre cold ford by a Peak Moonlight Emperor; only an Immortal Object of the Moonlight Emperor level could resist such severe cold.
"Eh!" Zi Yingming and Cha Sui suddenly realized sothing, turned around abruptly, and saw that Ying ngfan and the ladies were all walking serenely, not a single one showed any sign of being unable to bear the cold.
What was going on?
They had already been barely coping at the mouth of the valley, so how co they beca immune to the cold as they walked further? This wasn’t just ordinary cold that could be resisted by increased blood circulation; this was the extre cold emanating from a Peak Moonlight Emperor that had been accumulating for who knew how many years—it would require extre caution even for other Peak Moonlight Emperors!
They had already walked for five minutes, the cold must have intensified manyfold, so why did these won seem unaffected?
Before, both n had suspected that among the ladies, there was a hidden expert of unfathomable power, and now it seed definitely so!
Impressive, to be able to expand a spiritual power shield so large, protecting so many people!
But expanding a spiritual shield even slightly increases the consumption of spiritual power not linearly, but exponentially! Unless a Sunshine King arrived, how long could a Moonlight Emperor of the sa level sustain such a shield?
Sunshine King?
Impossible, if a Sunshine King entered the Starwind Trial of Xihai City, that would truly be a colossal mistake, and no one could bear such responsibility! Provoking the wrath of Juexian City, all the people accountable would be dood!
Not only would they die, but even their families and clansn would be executed without exception!
The dignity of Juexian City is inviolable!
It must be that Zhou Heng and his companions had so sort of treasure that could resist the cold.
Yet, strangely, there was no sense of any power fluctuations; it was as if the chill vanished into thin air as soon as it approached the ladies.
"Hehe, if you had inford in advance, I could have concocted so Extre Yang Pills. Not just this trivial level of cold, even the Nine Nether Ice Fla would be trivial!" the Fire Divine Furnace said from within Zhou Heng’s dantian.
"Hindsight is always perfect!" Zhou Heng communicated with divine sense. He thought for a mont and said, "After we get back, make so pills for Resisting Cold, Resisting Fire, and Resisting Poison!"
"Kid, you promised the Exotic Fire..."
"Of course I won’t forget what I’ve promised you, but you don’t know where the Exotic Fire is, so where am I supposed to find it for you?"
"Sigh, there definitely isn’t one in Broken Immortal City. When you eventually go to..." The Fire Divine Furnace suddenly stopped.
"Go where?" Zhou Heng imdiately beca alert, feeling like the Fire Divine Furnace was hiding sothing.
"It’s useless to tell you now; you can’t go there, you’re too weak in cultivation!" The Fire Divine Furnace said with disdain.
