Su Zimo had not flown far away from Elixir Peak on his sword when he caught sight of someone who seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
"Su Zimo, I didn't think much of you initially. However, I have to admit that you've given me quite a pleasant surprise," Feng Haoyu said with a fake smile.
Su Zimo paused for a moment and ignored him, about to leave on his sword.
Feng Haoyu continued, "Right, there's something I have to remind you about."
"Oh?" Su Zimo did not turn back and merely asked.
"You had better stay away from Leng Rou from now on. Otherwise …" Feng Haoyu did not continue and his voice was chilling.
Suddenly, Su Zimo laughed.
He was merely acquainted with Leng Rou. However, Su Zimo was extremely disgusted by Feng Haoyu's threatening tone.
Su Zimo asked indifferently, "Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise, you'll die!"
There was no one else around them and Feng Haoyu had no qualms about concealing his killing intent.
Su Zimo's back was facing Feng Haoyu as he narrowed his eyes.
He had indeed sensed Feng Haoyu's killing intent for a moment earlier on!
Su Zimo's expression was unchanged as he chuckled. "In Misty Peak, fellow sect members are not allowed to kill each other. You're no exception."
"Fufu, it's fine,"
Feng Haoyu said leisurely, "As long as you're in the sect, I'll play with you until you die!"
Su Zimo turned around slowly and looked at Feng Haoyu quietly, saying expressionlessly, "Do you believe that I'll kill you right now?"
For some reason, Feng Haoyu felt a chill run down his spine when he was stared at by Su Zimo.
It felt as though he was being targeted by an extremely ferocious ancient demon beast that could rip him to shreds at any moment!
Frowning, Feng Haoyu dispelled that strange feeling in his heart.
After all, Su Zimo was only at the eighth level of Qi Condensation. He posed no threat to him.
When he saw Feng Haoyu not answering, Su Zimo turned around and left, and it wasn't long before he vanished from Feng Haoyu's field of vision.
When Su Zimo returned to his cave abode, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and fell into deep thought with a flicker in his eyes.
Su Zimo gradually sensed that something was amiss.
Before this, Feng Haoyu indeed had great enmity towards him.
However, after the two face-offs of Weapon and Elixir Peak, that hostility had turned into killing intent!
It seemed normal, but it was a little inexplicable.
There was no deep grudge between fellow sect members. Even if there was competition, there was no need for Feng Haoyu to kill him.
Just Now, Feng Haoyu told him to stay away from Leng Rou.
It was only after saying that that Feng Haoyu revealed his killing intent. Although it seemed logical, it felt like he was trying to cover it up.
If Feng Haoyu's motive for killing him wasn't because of Leng Rou or the two Weapon Peak face-offs, what was it?
What was Feng Haoyu hiding?
Or perhaps I'm thinking too much, and Feng Haoyu is merely an arrogant and narrow-minded person?
Su Zimo shook his head.
He had a feeling that Feng Haoyu wasn't that simple.
After pondering for a while, Su Zimo entered his cave abode and continued cultivating in seclusion.
Tomorrow was the Array Peak face-off.
The location of the Array Peak face-off was the Ten Formations Pagoda. It was a competition to see who could clear the most levels in the shortest amount of time.
Su Zimo had no intention of participating.
Firstly, Su Zimo did not have much time and had to spend it on raising his cultivation.
Secondly, even though challenging the Ten Formations Pagoda did not expend much spirit qi, it was way too taxing on one's mental state and energy. He might not be able to recover even after resting for a day or two.
Su Zimo had to do his best to prepare for his battle with Feng Haoyu two days later!
…
On the other side, Feng Haoyu had just arrived at his cave abode when a hoarse voice rang in his ears. It was hard to tell if it was a male or female.
"Feng Haoyu, you've said too much to that lad!"
The voice sounded sinister and deep, sending chills down one's spine.
Feng Haoyu spun around but could not find any trace of the person.
"You don't have to be suspicious. The reason why I'm here is naturally because I know of your identity. I'm just reminding you to be careful and not expose yourself. Don't forget your mission as well! "
The voice sounded once more, drifting erratically.
When he heard that, Feng Haoyu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Senior, you're worrying too much. I intentionally hinted to him to stay away from Leng Rou earlier on. Su Zimo must have thought that I wanted to kill him because of Leng Rou. "
"Don't underestimate anyone!"
"Yes," Feng Haoyu nodded obediently.
"Su Zimo is a latent danger. He must die and not be left alive!"
Feng Haoyu lowered his head and said deeply, "Don't worry, senior. Leave this to me."
"May I know your identity in Misty Peak, senior?" Pausing for a moment, Feng Haoyu asked.
"You don't have to know for now. If there's a need, I'll naturally tell you."
"Yes."
After a moment, the voice did not sound again. Feng Haoyu knew that the person had left.
Tidying his robes, Feng Haoyu looked around before entering his cave abode.
…
Fourth day, Array Peak face-off.
Every year, there were not many disciples watching the Array Peak face-off.
After all, it was a competition to clear the Ten Formations Pagoda. Before this, there was already a record on the Ten Formations Stele and everyone knew who the number one of Array Peak was.
However, it was different this year.
Three months ago, a mysterious challenger appeared out of nowhere and broke the best record in the history of the Ten Formations Stele. Furthermore, he did it all the way!
Cleared Level 10 of the Ten Formations Pagoda, took seven days and eighteen hours.
That line of words was on the first row of the Ten Formations Stele and was extremely eye-catching. However, the place for the name was blank.
Out of curiosity, everyone wanted to know the identity of the mysterious challenger.
To many disciples, the most likely reason why this person was hiding his identity was because he wanted to shock everyone at the end of the year face-off.
Therefore, many trial disciples had already gathered at Array Peak early in the morning, wanting to catch a glimpse of this person's face.
The five peak masters had arrived early as well, sitting in a row and chatting casually.
"Xuan Yi, you're still not saying anything at this point?" Wen Xuan asked with a smile.
The brown haired youth urged as well, "That's right. Since we're going to find out today, you should tell us beforehand so that we're prepared."
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Xuan Yi did not catch sight of Su Zimo. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head. "Forget it, you guys should see for yourselves."
Since Su Zimo did not choose to announce it, Xuan Yi did not intend to reveal it either.
Arriving before the Ten Formations Stele, Zhong Liang looked at the words on the first row with a conflicted expression.
"Are you finally going to reveal yourself today?"
Zhong Liang murmured softly, "Let me see who you are so that I can accept my defeat."
Before long, the Array Peak face-off began.
Many challengers entered the Ten Formations Pagoda together.
Everyone outside was waiting for someone to walk up to the Ten Formations Stele and place their sect badge on it.
As long as that person appeared, he would be the true number one of Array Peak even without participating in the face-off!
At that moment, Su Zimo was in seclusion in his cave abode, trying to break through to Level 9 Qi Condensation …
