The entire sky was enveloped by a piercing seven-colored light. That seven-colored light was like a rainbow, but it did not have the gentleness of a rainbow. Instead, it was an incredibly flamboyant color that filled every single corner of the world Su Ming could see.
The seemingly blinding seven-colored light fell on all the mountains, fused into the sky, fell on the ground, and filled countless people's eyes.
The appearance of the light brought with it an indescribably domineering air, causing the countless Freezing Sky Clan disciples in the other eight summits besides the ninth summit in the Great Frozen Plains of Freezing Sky Clan to lift their heads towards the center of the seven-colored light.
Uproars echoed in all directions, because in Freezing Sky Clan, this seven-colored light could only mean one person!
Because in Freezing Sky Clan, there could only be one person who could appear in such a flamboyant manner!
That person was the prodigy of Freezing Sky Clan, the one who was known to have the highest chance of becoming the fourth God of Berserkers – Si Ma Xin!
"It's senior brother Si Ma, he's back!"
"I heard that senior brother Si Ma has been away for many years. When he left, he was already at the peak of the Transcendence Realm. Now that he's back, could it be that he's already reached the Bone Sacrifice Realm?"
"When senior brother Si Ma left the clan to train, he said that he wouldn't return until he reached the Bone Sacrifice Realm!"
The uproars shook the sky and earth. The appearance of the seven-colored light shocked all the disciples in the eight summits of the Freezing Sky Clan. Some of the people who were familiar with Si Ma Xin even turned into long arcs and flew out from the mountains.
In the blink of an eye, an innumerable amount of people arrived in the sky and floated in the air as they looked into the distance.
Right beside Su Ming was the group of palaces at the center of the nine summits under Heaven Gate. The people who had been going in and out just now also flew out with fervent and respectful gazes. As they looked towards the sky, they wrapped their fists in their palms and bowed towards the sky.
In fact, even the woman Hu Zi called a woman disguised as a man by Su Ming's side also walked out quickly and bowed towards the sky.
"Welcome back to the clan, eldest brother Si Ma!" These voices echoed on the ground and were spoken by an innumerable amount of people. They seemed to have fused together and turned into one voice, turning into a wave of sound that shook the sky and earth.
Su Ming stood there with a sharp stab of pain in his eyes. The seven-colored light in the sky looked as if it was about to pierce through them. He looked at the countless people around him welcoming him respectfully. At that moment, he, Hu Zi, and even Zi Che, who was by his side, looked as if they had been ignored by the world. In everyone's eyes, there was only that seven-colored light left.
Su Ming was not unfamiliar with this feeling. This scene made him remember the time he was in Dark Mountain all those years ago. When he stepped onto the field before Wind Stream Mountain, he had also stood in a corner and watched as the prodigies walked towards him without a sound. He was the center of attention.
However, the current Su Ming was far from the him of the past. In the past, he had needed to force himself to remain calm, but at that moment, he did not need to do it on purpose. He just stood there, and he was calm.
His eyes were calm, his expression was calm, his body was calm, and his mind was calm.
He looked at the sky in the distance and the source of the seven-colored light. There was a tall mountain floating in midair, and that was the Seven Colored Mountain!
On the mountain peak, one could vaguely see a man standing there. The color of the man's clothes was indistinguishable from the seven colors. One could only see that his long hair was fluttering in the wind. One could only see that there was a woman standing beside him. However, one could not see the woman's appearance clearly.
As the Seven Colored Mountain closed in, more shouts of greeting reverberated on the ground. The shouts of greeting rose and fell like waves in Su Ming's ears. He saw the people from the various summits floating in the sky wrapping their fists in their palms and bowing towards the incoming Seven Colored Mountain.
"Thank you for welcoming me, my fellow sect members. I've prepared some meager gifts for my return to the clan. Once I return to the mountain, I'll ask someone to send them to all my friends." Si Ma Xin's gentle voice echoed in the air. With a gentle smile on his face, he wrapped his fist in his palm towards the crowd.
There was a relaxed look on his face, and there was an indescribable charm to him. It made all those who saw him feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze, and they would naturally feel a sense of familiarity towards him.
"Hypocrite. I've seen this Si Ma Xin a few times in the past. His smile is too fake. Second senior brother's smile is much more comfortable than his. Master once wanted to take him in as his disciple, but thank goodness he didn't accept him in the end." Hu Zi stood beside Su Ming and scrunched his nose as he spoke in disdain.
Zi Che fell silent, but as he looked at the Seven Colored Mountain in the distance, a dark look appeared in his eyes.
He already held a grudge against Si Ma Xin. If Si Ma Xin had not asked him to cause trouble for Su Ming in the ninth summit, he would not have ended up in this state.
Su Ming remained silent. He continued looking at the Seven Colored Mountain that was getting closer to him in the sky. Gradually, he saw Si Ma Xin's face clearly. He was dressed in white and had an incredibly handsome face. He looked gentle and elegant, as if there was not a hint of anger within him. His eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and the smile on his lips never disappeared.
A temperament that was clearly different from other people naturally appeared on Si Ma Xin's body, and when it fused with his extraordinary looks, it turned into an indescribable charm.
This was not the first time Su Ming and Si Ma Xin came into contact, but more accurately speaking, this was the first time he truly saw Si Ma Xin. This was different from when Si Ma Xin had used Fang Mu's body to attack in Han Mountain City. Su Ming looked at Si Ma Xin, at his elegant demeanor, at his gentle smile, and he remained calm and did not speak.
Hu Zi's disdain, Su Ming's calmness, and Zi Che's sullenness. When the three of them stood together, they were completely different from the respectful expressions of the other Freezing Sky Clan disciples around them. Because of that, when people swept their gazes past them, they would inevitably notice them.
Si Ma Xin might have also noticed Su Ming, but he still maintained the smile on his face. There was no other change in his expression.
"Let's go, third senior brother. Once we get the paper, we'll go back to the mountain," Su Ming said calmly. The grudge between him and Si Ma Xin could be described as simple, but it could also be described as complicated. However, in the end, there was only one thing that could not be resolved.
Unless he could return Han Mountain Bell respectfully and ignore his promise with Han Cang Zi, or even obtain Si Ma Xin's forgiveness for what happened to Fang Mu, there was no other way for him to resolve the matter.
And this was something Su Ming could not do.
As he spoke, Su Ming was just about to turn around and walk towards the Artifact Storage Hall behind him to retrieve the paper, but the instant he was about to turn around, due to the Seven Colored Mountain closing in on him and the Seven Colored Light slowly disappearing, Su Ming not only managed to see Si Ma Xin's face clearly from the corner of his eyes, he also saw a pretty face with a sweet smile and a hint of excitement on it behind him.
It was a beautiful girl dressed in a purple robe. She did not look old, and her skin was like jade. Her eyes were like the moon. She stood behind Si Ma Xin with an obedient look on her face, but the lively look in her eyes would make all those who saw her feel stunned. At the same time, they would also be able to sense a hint of wild beauty within the girl's presence.
That sort of beauty was something that came naturally to her. It was not something that was acquired, and neither was it something that was intentionally created. It was a rare, wild beauty that appeared due to the environment she grew up in, her personality, and other factors.
Her sparkling eyes, curved eyebrows, and the intoxicating curve at the corners of her lips formed a beautiful smile in the truest sense of the word. She might still be slightly inexperienced and immature, but it was this girl that made Su Ming, who was originally about to turn around, shudder violently the instant he saw her through the corner of his eyes.
He instantly felt as if there were one hundred thousand thunderbolts roaring in his head and exploding at the same time, causing his body to tremble. His breathing also quickened in a manner that he had never experienced before. It was as if at that moment, his breathing could no longer keep up with the booming sounds in his head, could no longer keep up with the pounding of his heart.
Right before Su Ming's eyes, the world froze. The wind did not move, the clouds did not move. All the uproars by his ears disappeared in an instant. At that instant, there was no longer anyone else in the world before his eyes. The nine mountains were no longer there.
The seven colors in the sky had completely disappeared from his eyes. The Seven Colored Mountain was no longer there, and neither was Si Ma Xin.
In his eyes, in his world, at this moment, the only thing that appeared was that purple figure, that figure with a wild smile, that figure with a pair of flickering eyes that seemed to contain boundless intelligence.
That person …
A girl with wild beauty …
The calmness in Su Ming's eyes crumbled.
The calmness on his face shattered.
The calmness in his body trembled.
The calmness in his heart was no longer there …
At that moment, he forgot that he was standing in Freezing Sky Clan. He forgot that he was looking at the girl standing behind Si Ma Xin. He forgot everything. His mind was blank at that moment. There were no thoughts in his head, no thoughts in his mind. There was only a sad song played by a xun that surrounded his heart soundlessly. Along with that song was a picture that made his heart ache.
Snow was falling down from the sky in that picture. A man and a woman were holding hands as they walked in the snow. Snow fell on their hair, and it looked as if they were walking together until their hair turned white.
"Su Ming, this is a promise …"
"I'll definitely go!"
The things in that picture made Su Ming tremble. He stared at the woman who was gradually getting closer to him in the sky with a dumbfounded expression. He stared at everything before him.
"Bai Ling … How … How could this be?!" Su Ming mumbled. Disbelief appeared in his eyes. At that moment, a strong urge suddenly erupted from his body.
He did not want to suppress that urge, neither would he suppress it, much less could he suppress it!
Even if that urge would cause him to stop his training while he cleared his mind, he still did not want to suppress it …
He lifted his right foot slowly at that moment, and the moment his foot landed on the sky, he stepped into the air and walked towards the Seven Colored Mountain.
Su Ming's actions stunned Hu Zi, who was by his side. He might be surprised, but he immediately followed.
Zi Che hesitated for a moment before he too followed behind.
The seven-colored light in the sky grew weaker, and at that moment, Su Ming stood before the floating Seven Colored Mountain. He had blocked the mountain's path!
This scene was immediately noticed by all the people in the area, and they all turned their gazes towards that direction. The thousands of people's eyes instantly focused on Su Ming, this face that was incredibly unfamiliar to them.
"What … is your name..?" There was no Seven Colored Mountain in Su Ming's eyes, neither was there Si Ma Xin, nor was there anyone else. There was only the woman's figure, or more accurately speaking, he was looking at the person standing in the snow at the foot of Dark Mountain.
