At this mont, Chu Linfeng had found himself a glimr of hope within the Ghost Race, and essentially, no one could recognize his Human Race identity anymore. However, Lin Ruoxi and the others weren't as lucky as he was, or perhaps they didn't possess the special abilities and assistance of the Sword Spirit that he did.
After Young Master Feiyu ventured into the Human Race's territory, he directly arrived at Lisha City. However, on the way, he encountered two youths who appeared to be roughly the sa age as him. These two youths were also quite handso, and upon seeing Young Master Feiyu traveling alone, they imdiately followed him.
"Brother, are you also heading to Lisha City to participate in the Outer Disciple selection?" one of them directly asked.
Young Master Feiyu glanced at the two, judging from their strength, they had only just broken through to the Saint Martial Realm, nowhere near being his match. He chuckled and replied, "Indeed, I'm headed to Lisha City. Are you two going as well?"
"Yes, it's truly an honor to be joining you on this journey. Judging by your splendid attire, you must be from a prestigious family. Can we ask for your help with sothing?" the other said.
Young Master Feiyu was speechless at that mont. They had just t and were already asking for assistance; it was quite tactless of them, and since they were neither relatives nor friends, why should he help them?
"We've just t, haven't we? I don't even know your nas, why should I help you? Besides, I don't have the ti; farewell!" Young Master Feiyu replied.
"Between the four seas, all are brothers. Why must you keep people at a distance? It seems you look down on us. If that's the case, we won't bother you any longer," one of them said.
Young Master Feiyu felt sowhat baffled. Were these two out of their minds to speak like this? After glancing at them, he turned and left.
After Young Master Feiyu departed, one of them said, "Big Brother, do you think this guy has any Nether Stones on him? He's so untactful; maybe we should find a hidden spot later and deal with him, what do you say?"
"I had the sa thought. If he had handed over so Nether Stones earlier, maybe we could have befriended him. Going to Lisha City without Nether Stones ans we can't register. We have no choice but to take this step," the other replied.
"But we've never done sothing like this before. I'm still sowhat afraid. What if this guy's strength is greater than ours? Wouldn't it be a wrongful death if he kills us?"
"No, I've observed him for quite a while along the way. His strength is probably at most Saint Martial Realm Second Level, similar to ours. If we team up, we can definitely defeat him, so don't worry!" the one called Big Brother stated.
Young Master Feiyu was flying slowly along the way; he didn't want to reveal too much of his strength and was being very cautious. He knew the Netherworld was an extrely dangerous place, and one slight mistake could cost one's life.
Thus, along the way, he would find a place to rest for a mont after flying for two hours. It was precisely this behavior that made the two believe that his strength wasn't very strong, leading to their plan.
Before long, the two had taken a different path to get ahead of Young Master Feiyu and were waiting for him in a secluded spot, calculating that this would be the place where he'd rest, perfectly suitable for their action.
Indeed, upon spotting a clean, large stone on the ground, Young Master Feiyu descended directly onto it, sat down, and closed his eyes to rejuvenate, completely unaware of the two hidden nearby.
After a short while, a faint sound of footsteps startled Young Master Feiyu awake. He imdiately opened his eyes to survey the surroundings and discovered two masked individuals standing before him. Their clothing and stature seed familiar, but he couldn't recall where he'd seen them.
Young Master Feiyu beca cautious right away. The appearance of these two suggested sothing unusual. He said, "I wonder why you've chosen to disturb
while I rest, my friends?"
"Kid, we an no harm, just hoping you'd give us so Nether Stones to spend. If you're sensible, hand them over to spare yourself so physical pain," one of them said.
Upon hearing this voice, Young Master Feiyu instantly understood who these two were. No wonder they seed so familiar; they were the sa two who had struck up a conversation with him halfway along his journey. He then replied, "You two really are like ghosts that won't leave
alone. I have no Nether Stones for you, but plenty of life; whether you have the life to take them is another matter."
"Kid, if you won't eat the food of courtesy, you'll eat the food of penalty. Today we'll let you know our brothers' prowess." The other one spoke and directly drew a long sword.
Young Master Feiyu had utter disdain for the two. With a flick of his figure, a folded fan quickly appeared in his hand, followed by an array of fan shadows. The shadows enveloped the two, interspersed with invisible Sword Qi, their attack power was extrely formidable.
The two hadn't anticipated that Young Master Feiyu would actually strike against them, so they quickly employed their Martial Skill to counter him. "Bang! Bang!" Several energy collision sounds arose in the secluded place, and the surrounding space oscillated continuously; within monts, victory was decided.
Young Master Feiyu was, after all, from the Black Tortoise Race; his defense power was inherently Heaven-Defying alone, coupled with his realm being far higher than these two, naturally allowing him to defeat them easily. At present, dozens of bone-deep wounds appeared on the two, bleeding profusely with fresh blood.
Young Master Feiyu wasn't about to show rcy; he was ready to put these two down. "If people don't offend , I won't offend them." But they were so botherso that they were better off dead, just as he was prepared to deliver the final blow, one of them unexpectedly said, "Big Brother, we were wrong. From now on, we'll follow you, and I swear by my soul to be entirely loyal to you!"
Young Master Feiyu reluctantly put away the folded fan, looked at the two and said, "With such little strength, you intend to be robbers? You really think I'm easy to bully, huh? I don't wish to be a Big Brother; it's best to eliminate you two to prevent harming others."
"Big Brother, it's actually our first ti doing such a thing; it's mainly because we wished to go to Lisha City to participate in the Outer Disciple selection but lacked sufficient Nether Stones, hence we ca up with this idea. Who'd think you were so hidden; now we truly regret it," one imdiately said, though the wounds on his body pained him into a grimace, he had no choice but to plead for rcy. This pain compared to life was naturally less crucial than the latter.
"How many Nether Stones do you have on you? How many are needed for the selection?" Young Master Feiyu had no clue about this matter; it was a good opportunity to gather information from the two.
"We have only over a thousand Nether Stones, not enough even for the registration fee, which requires three thousand Nether Stones per person. As long as you can participate in the selection, even if you don't pass, you can still beco a Black Lotus Guard; passing turns you into an Outer Disciple, directly becoming a White Lotus Guard. With Big Brother's skills, becoming a White Lotus Guard is certainly no problem."
Young Master Feiyu was shocked to hear this; he hadn't anticipated needing so many Nether Stones. He himself only had a bit over a thousand Nether Stones—what now? Even if he took all of their Nether Stones, it wouldn't be enough, causing him to feel quite troubled…
