âKid, are you sure?â Bei Si had a frown, his face solemn. Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu and the other girls of the Ice Emperor City were also astounded, looking at him doubtfully.
They used to think that Shi Yan would have left them immediately when he had a big support like Bei Si. There was a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior who wanted to kill him. Such characters, when they wanted to take action, they usually had a complete plan beforehand. Perhaps that strong warrior had a plan to counter Shi Yanâs monster teacher too.
The gap between the Sky Realm and the Spirit Realm warriors was vast, let alone the Third Sky of Spirit Realm!
âItâs okay. I dare to stay, so of course, Iâm not afraid of him.â Shi Yan smiled, looking leisurely at Bing Qing Tong and her people. âYou know that Iâm his target, but you still protect me. Should I value my life more than yours? Donât worry. No matter what happens, I will take it with you guys.â
The beautiful eyes of Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu lit up quietly. This boy had an excellent conduct indeed. Under such circumstances, normal people would only think about saving their lives, as they would put their safety at the priority. Obviously, he could choose not to bother with their matter. Why did he choose to stay?
Bing Qiang, Bing Wei, Shuang Zi and the other girls had their eyes sparkling, blooming beautifully.
âYou can leave. We wonât blame you.â Bing Qing Tong had a strange expression as her mood was complicated. She wanted Shi Yan to stay, but at the same time, she thought that it wasnât right, because they had no connection. Shi Yan didnât need to spend his strength for them. Moreover, the enemy was an intimidating one.
âIt isnât about getting blamed or not, itâs my principle and personal integrity.â Shi Yan shook his head. âAlthough Iâm not considered a good person, I have a good consciousness. Thatâs the core. If I leave, you will sink into troubles. Even though this thing isnât all about me, his target is me. Your sisters disclosed my whereabouts because of their greed, and you arenât related to that. You donât need to bear anything for them!â
Bing Qing Tong had always maintained her cold and arrogant manner, but after having heard his words, she relaxed.
Shi Yanâs insistence⊠wasnât it the thing she had preserved for many years?
Otherwise, why would she have to stay in the Ice Emperor City? Staying in a poor land, no strong warriors would respect them. Although they had difficulties and their living was more strenuous, they had never violated the vow they took. She had to do so to protect her sistersâ dignity and purity.
As Shi Yan was persistent in talking about his principles with her, he looked a bit unwise, but these things were related to deep inside someoneâs heart which stored the most touching human disposition.
âYou shouldnât stay. Donât blame us later.â Bing Qing Tong was rarely so tender. She smiled at him and nodded in agreement, while she suddenly had a feeling of meeting a long-lost friend.
âDonât worry. Thatâs my decision. I will bear it all. Nothingâs related to you guys.â Shi Yan was frank, waving his hand toward Bei Si. âPrecursor, please return to the Banner family first. After Iâm done with this, Iâm going to visit the Banners. Haha.â
Bei Si didnât move. He hesitated for a while and then laughed out loud. âItâs okay. I can stay. Although the other has the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, even in the worst case, I can retreat. From your confidence, I can see that itâs okay whether I leave or stay.â
âItâs good, though.â Shi Yan had the absolute confidence, and Bei Si didnât worry about himself being involved in their troubles. âWait until this stuffâs over. I will come to be your guest. We should drink and enjoy ourselves!â
âKid, youâre a frank and generous person. I like you!â Bei Si applauded joyfully.
âEverybody should restore your strength. After weâre done, weâll depart immediately.â Shuang Yu Zhu made up her mind on seeing the changing situation. She advised the other girls. Bing Qiang, Bing Wei, and the others wore a smiling face, throwing their glance at Shi Yan strangely. Some brave girls even tried to seduce him discreetly, batting their long eyelashes to attract his attention.
These girls always had a cold aura on their bodies. Now, as they were smiling, it was hard to resist. Even Shi Yan had his eyes brightened.
Listening to Shuang Yu Zhuâs order, the girls of the Ice Emperor City sat down at the lake again, closing their eyes to restore their strength. They gradually quieted down.
Shi Yan wasnât hurried either. He took out one high-quality Essence Qi crystal, found a place to sit down and used the energy inside to supplement his Qi.
Bei Si didnât leave. He sat down next to Shi Yan, eyeing the young man with an excited, smiling face. It seemed that he wanted to see what kind of person Shi Yan was.
After Lao Li and Lao Lun had come back to the Banner family, they shared their experience in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. There werenât many persons that this pair of brothers admired in the White Emperor City. But after they came back, they idolized Shi Yan, saying that none of the youth of the Divine Great Land couldnât be compared to him, a young man with a will of steel, upright and loyal manners, and someone absolutely worth being a deep-rooted friend.
As Bei Si had heard all that from the Lao brothers, he had been interested in Shi Yan. However, he didnât really believe that Shi Yan could be so excellent. He was still suspicious.
Today, heâd seen Shi Yanâs conduct. Now, he had to wait a little bit longer to check out the young manâs competence.
One hour later, after all of them had recovered, they continued their trip to the White Emperor City. However, after a couple hundred li, Bei Si darkened his face.
âSeems like that strong warrior is comingâŠâ
Everyone was startled, following Bei Siâs line of sight. They all changed their visage.
Roughly ten li ahead of them was a vast, dense forest. Big, old trees jutted up to the sky, towering the area. Demonic beasts flashed on and off. This area belonged to the White Emperor.
At this moment, thick grey clouds were covering the dense forest. Those clusters of grey cloud were like a curtain, covering one-third of the area. The forest underneath was quiet, without even a chirp and whirr, seeming almost scary. This gave people a feeling that something wrong was happening.
Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu exchanged looks. They took a deep breath, with their countenances extremely solemn.
âDa-jie, did you sense the aura of second and third sisters?â Shuang Yu Zhu sensed for a while, releasing her Soul Consciousness to check. She couldnât hide her fear, as a light flashed from her eyes.
Bing Qing Tong shook her head. She couldnât send her Soul Consciousness through the forest.
âCertainly, that man has covered their auras. If he has the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base and uses his Soul Consciousness to cover our sistersâ auras, we canât find it.â
Shuang Yu Zhuâs eyes changed. She kept silent, watching over the land ahead of them with caution.
âYou guys. Do you want to go there?â Bei Si was hesitant. âThe opponent has blocked the way ahead, so he must have guessed that you would take this way. Even if you return, he can still hunt you down. With his realm, of course, his speedâs faster than ours. Moreover, you have some juniors here. We canât avoid him.â
Everybody knew they should avoid the opponent, but how?
If they had only Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu here, when they found something abnormal, they would have returned at max speed. Risking their lives and using the secret technique, they should have a big chance to survive.
But today, there werenât only the two of themâŠ
Although they knew that they couldnât avoid, they didnât dare to decide. As the opponent was covering one-third of the forest, apparently, he had a complete plan. If they entered the place recklessly, they could meet some barriers. At that time, they would have no way to hide or flee.
Everybody stopped there, thinking about how to solve this situation.
Waiting was also a methodâŠ
If the opponent couldnât be patient and came out from the forest first, even if they would lose the battle, the consequences wouldnât be so bad. Perhaps, some of them could return alive.
Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu decided to wait for the opponent to get out of the forest.
âHahahaâŠâ A cold, gloomy laugher reverberated through the forest. As it was echoing everywhere, people couldnât detect the source of the laughter.
âWell, Iâve been waiting for you for an hour. Finally, youâve come. None of you will escape my hands.â Yu Li Mingâs voice was deep and sinister, coming from the forest.
âSecond Sister, Third Sister, are you there?â Bing Qing Tong wore a cold face, shouted.
Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing regarded her, their tones full of bitterness. Seemed like they were bullied.
Hearing the two answer her, Bing Qing Tong could ease her mind a bit. Musing for a while, she probed, âI would like to know who the hotshot is in the forest? Youâre waiting for us here to do what? Our Ice Emperor City doesnât compete for power. I think we didnât cause any grudge against you. Why do you want to force us to death?â
âIâm coming here this time, isnât it because of you?â Yu Li Ming laughed evilly. âHand that kid to me. After I am done with him, we can have fun for a while. Iâm very interested in you guys. Well, maybe I can enlighten you or give you some good stuff.â
âHeâs the distinguished guest of our Ice Emperor City. I wonder how he has caused resentment with you?â Bing Qing Tong frowned.
âCity Master Bing, you donât need to be wordy with me. Everybody here is sensible. Give me the man, and Iâll let you go. If you donât comply, haha, you know the consequences!â Yu Li Ming laughed coldly. His tone showed that his patience was draining. âDonât waste my time. I have come here this time, so I wonât go back empty-handed.â
âShi Yanâs the line disciple of a respectable hotshot. You dare to take action against him⊠Have you ever considered the consequences?â Bing Qing Tong threatened him with solemn complexion.

âHaha⊠What about that hotshot? He didnât come here personally. Iâll kill that kid and break the soul seal. How will he find me?â Yu Li Ming wasnât afraid of her threat.
âThis old manâs always alone. I move a lot, and I donât have a permanent residence. This Divine Great Land is vast enough. I just need to find a place and stay in seclusion. Even if he spends a hundred years, he wonât be able to find me. After a hundred years, perhaps this old man could reach the True God Realm too. At that moment, should I be afraid of him?â
âWhatâs about hundred years of waiting? You arenât afraid of troubles, so should I be?â
Shi Yan wasnât patient enough to listen to the old man. He cracked a smile, strode to the forest and pitched his voice. âHey old black turtle! Itâs okay you wonât come out, Iâm getting there. I want to see what you have to capture me.â
Bei Si, Bing Qing Tong, and Shuang Yu Zhu had a surprised face. They hadnât even reacted before they saw Shi Yan dashing forward like lightning, robustly shooting into the forest.
