A steep mountain stood at the edge of the ancient battlefield.
Halfway up the mountain, a man stood at the entrance of a cave abode. His hands were behind his back and he was handsome with a noble aura. However, he had a dark expression and his eyes flickered with a cold glint from time to time.
Jun Hao of Azure Frost Sect was originally a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The reason why he pursued Ji Yaoxue painstakingly previously was because he already knew of Ji Yaoxue's identity as a princess!
If the two of them could progress further, he could make use of this opportunity and identity to investigate the background of the Great Zhou Dynasty thoroughly!
Unfortunately, Ji Yaoxue's attitude towards him had always been lukewarm all these years and was no different from how she treated other fellow disciples of the same sect.
Jun Hao was a little frustrated. However, he was extremely shrewd and was in no hurry.
The path of cultivation was long and the two of them had many opportunities to interact within the same sect.
Unfortunately, a monstrous cultivator appeared out of nowhere during the sect competition, causing him to feel a sense of danger!
Wearing a pale yellow robe, Demoness Ji walked in front of that person and spun around. She blinked her bright eyes and smiled like a flower – it was like a thorn in Jun Hao's heart!
"Su Zimo!"
Jun Hao narrowed his gaze and gripped his fists tightly.
Ji Yaoxue's attitude towards that person was clearly different from others. Even the way she looked at that person made him jealous!
After entering the ancient battlefield, Su Zimo's terrifying methods and overwhelming might disrupted Jun Hao's plans completely.
Almost all the cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty that entered the ancient battlefield were wiped out!
What was even more frightening was that Su Zimo was already suspecting him!
During that period of time, Jun Hao lived his life as though he was treading on thin ice, hiding carefully without daring to reveal any flaws.
Normally, that person looked like a refined scholar with a kind smile and a calm gaze.
However, Jun Hao knew in his heart that this was someone who was decisive in killing!
As long as he revealed a flaw, this person would immediately go on a rampage and kill him without giving him a chance to explain himself!
Finally, on that day, Su Zimo left.
Jun Hao heaved a long sigh of relief, his whole body relaxed.
However, his happiness did not last long. Jun Hao was once again distressed. He even gnashed his teeth in hatred!
There were five stone rooms in the cave.
Before Su Zimo left, he actually set up a large array outside the fifth stone room.
From that day onwards, Ji Yaoxue had not taken a single step out of that stone room!
No matter how Jun Hao invited her, Ji Yaoxue would find all kinds of reasons to refuse.
She did not let anyone in, including the two remaining guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Yaoxue, are you suspecting me too?"
Jun Hao's gaze flickered and his expression gradually turned cold as he muttered, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for falling out with you!"
Jun Hao took out a spirit crane from his storage bag. He wrote a few words on it and injected spirit energy. The spirit crane flapped its wings and flew. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the void.
Jun Hao turned and entered the cave, walking towards the fifth stone room.
Before he took a few steps, he happened to bump into Si Yutang of Danxia Temple.
Si Yutang greeted him and asked with a smile, "Brother Jun Hao, it's almost a year's time. When are we leaving?"
Almost a year had passed. Si Yutang consumed the Meridian Unlocking Pill and cultivated to six meridian Foundation Establishment.
Jun Hao was already a seven meridian Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Jun Hao said with a smile that was not a smile, "I'm going to find Junior Sister Yaoxue to discuss this matter. You should come along too."
"Alright."
Si Yutang did not suspect anything and agreed immediately.
After passing through the long passageway, they arrived before the fifth stone room. The two remaining guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty stood on both sides of the door.
Both of them were at the peak of six meridian Foundation Establishment as well.
Most of the people in the center of the ancient battlefield were at seven meridian Foundation Establishment and even the paragons of super sects were at eight meridian Foundation Establishment.
However, in reality, most of the cultivators in the ancient battlefield stopped at six meridian Foundation Establishment.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists."
The two guards greeted with cupped fists.
There were only five of them here and they were already familiar with one another.
Jun Hao's gaze landed on the tightly shut stone door and he smiled, declaring loudly, "Junior Sister Yaoxue, the year's time is almost up. Let's set off today and return to the starting point."
A moment later, a voice sounded from the stone room in a calm manner.
"Senior Brother Jun, there's no hurry. Zimo promised me that he'll return. There's no harm in waiting for a few more days."
When he heard that, Jun Hao's expression froze and he lowered his head gradually. His gaze was dark and his expression was frighteningly dark!
"Wait for him?"
Si Yutang sneered, "That man doesn't know what's good for him. He entered the depths of the ancient battlefield and there's been no news of him for the past half a year. He must have died a long time ago!"
Ji Yaoxue replied indifferently, "I believe that he won't die and will definitely return."
"Fu …"
Si Yutang scoffed and shook his head.
In his opinion, Su Zimo would definitely die if he entered the depths of the ancient battlefield!
Jun Hao took a deep breath of air. When he raised his head, he smiled once more. "Junior Sister, there's still more than ten days left. If he could return, he would have done so long ago."
"We're only two days away from the starting point. We can make it in time if we wait a few more days," Ji Yaoxue said with a firm tone.
"Brother Jun Hao, if she doesn't want to leave, let's leave!"
Si Yutang sneered again and said, "With our current cultivation, it's enough for us to return to the starting point safely."
The smile on Jun Hao's face had already vanished. With a cold expression, he said slowly, "Yaoxue, I've already given you a final chance. Since you didn't seize it, don't blame me for not taking into account our ties as fellow disciples!"
The moment he said that, the surrounding atmosphere turned strange.
The two guards frowned and looked at Jun Hao in confusion.
Si Yutang was stunned as well.
Everything was fine earlier on. Why did his attitude change all of a sudden?
What did he mean by last chance? What did he mean by not taking into account their ties as fellow disciples?
Jun Hao's gaze was cold as he glared at the stone door. As though he could see the woman inside, he said word by word, "Yaoxue, it's not up to you today. You have to leave even if you don't want to!"
"Jun Hao, what do you mean by that?!"
Sensing Jun Hao's enmity, one of the guards scolded him warily.
In the stone chamber, Ji Yaoxue sighed faintly. "You finally couldn't hold it in."
"Since you've already suspected me, there's no need for me to continue pretending."
Jun Hao admitted frankly.
"When Zimo first reminded me, I didn't quite believe it."
Ji Yaoxue shook her head. "However, you've been too anxious for the past half a year, coming up with many excuses to get in or get me out. At that time, I knew that Zimo's guess was right. "
"Indeed, he was the one who spoiled my plans!"
Jun Hao cursed and pointed to the stone chamber with a cold smile. "Yaoxue, do you think that a few layers of formations set up by a dead man like Su Zimo can protect you?"
"Zimo said that even if an eight meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator were to attack, this formation would be able to hold out for a few days."
Ji Yaoxue said, "It's a pity that you're only at seven meridian Foundation Establishment. Given your strength, there's no way you can break through this formation. Jun Hao, give up. Even if it's a backup plan left behind by Zimo, you won't be able to defeat it! "
When he heard Yaoxue's words, Jun Hao was enraged and almost lost control of his emotions. The veins on his neck popped as he grit his teeth, revealing an ugly expression. "Yaoxue, once we break through this stone chamber, I'm going to let you enjoy yourself under my crotch!"
A series of heavy footsteps sounded in the tunnel, approaching from afar.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The entire cave abode shook and countless rocks fell. A rotting aura of death surged over with a nauseating stench that was suffocating!
