The puppet beast was completely black and had no fur. It looked like a giant with its limbs hanging down. It ran forward like a wild beast on the ground. It was precisely because of its strange appearance that all the people who ran into it would cast a sidelong glance at it and avoid it.
During this period of time, the matter of the ninth summit charging into Northern Frontier Tribe had already become one of the many rumors in the ninth summit. Even though there were still quite a number of people who did not believe it, but this matter concerned Northern Frontier Tribe's reputation. However, Northern Frontier Tribe had remained silent about this rumor, and gradually, the credibility of this rumor increased.
It was especially so for those who were acquainted with people in Northern Frontier Tribe. Once they asked around and obtained an answer that shocked them, their attitude towards the ninth summit changed, regardless of whether it was true or not.
This change was not due to them coming into contact with the ninth summit, but due to them avoiding it.
When they saw Zi Che, even those who had never seen Su Ming before could recognize with just one glance that the young man with a scar on his face sitting beside Zi Che was the ninth summit's Su Ming!
The Su Ming who could fight against Si Ma Xin and charge into Northern Frontier Tribe without a single scratch on him!
Su Ming sat calmly on the puppet beast's back with his eyes closed. He did not want to waste even a single moment to let his body gradually get used to the weight of the sixteen ice hoops.
He was confident that once he could walk and fly as usual, then once he took off the ice hoops, his speed would become slightly faster.
He had been thinking recently that he could not place all the ice hoops on his legs. If he did, he would not be able to coordinate his movements. Once he got used to the weight, he would add the ice hoops on other parts of his body to achieve a form of balance.
'It's a pity that Sky Mist Shaman Hunt is too short. There's less than two months left …' As Su Ming closed his eyes and sank into his thoughts, Zi Che's expression remained the same as ever. He was completely unbothered by the people they met on the way avoiding them and paying attention to them, or the occasional faint sounds of discussion.
However, he remained vigilant and would occasionally look around him. If anything bad happened to Su Ming, he would immediately rush out and stand in front of Su Ming to protect him.
A hint of excitement appeared on Bai Su's face as she followed by Su Ming's side. It had been a long time since she had run into this sort of situation where all the people on the way avoided her and would occasionally observe her. This sort of thing would only happen when she was with Si Ma Xin.
Yet he did not expect that such a thing would happen even when he was by Su Ming's side.
Most importantly, although it looked the same, it was actually two completely different feelings. When he was with Su Ma Xin, the gazes that looked at him were filled with respect, envy, and respect for Su Ma Xin.
Even if they did make way, they would do so respectfully. As for Su Ma Xin, he would smile and nod in response.
As for her, she had to smile beside Su Ma Xin. She had to maintain the same demeanor as Su Ma Xin and face everyone with a smile. At first, she thought it was a good feeling, but once there was a comparison …
However, the current situation was different. The gazes that were cast towards him were filled with hesitation and reluctance to provoke him. The people who avoided him were mostly not out of respect, but because of the rumors that had spread in the ninth summit recently.
Bai Su did not need to force herself to maintain a smile. She could glare at the people who avoided her as they pleased, and if she was unhappy, she could even spit at them. This sort of feeling made her feel very relaxed. Compared to that, she preferred this way.
As she thought about it, Bai Su's gaze fell on Su Ming. When she saw him sitting down with his eyes closed, a smile appeared on her face. However, there was a hint of mockery in that smile, as if she had just thought of something else.
The puppet beast was not slow. When dusk arrived on the fourth day, they could see a tribe formed by a large number of temporary tents on the vast expanse of snow before them.
The tribe was very big, and there was a platform in the middle that was built with a large amount of wood. It seemed to be able to seat close to a thousand people, and it gave off a majestic aura, giving off a leisurely atmosphere.
There were a lot of Berserkers in the tribe at that moment, and they were all moving in and out of the tents. There were also quite a number of well-built men in the tribe. All of them had extraordinary power, and they were patrolling the area with aloof expressions.
These people's clothes were clearly different from those of the people going in and out of the tribe to trade. There was a symbol of the sun rising from the sea on their clothes. It was a very unique mark, and it would be remembered clearly by all those who saw it.
Because the sun rising from the sea was blood red, and it was as if a wave of murderous aura was crashing into their faces.
There were also some strange buildings around the tribe. These buildings looked like sharp swords that were pierced into the ground. However, these swords were so big that they looked like ships. They were about 1,000 feet tall, and they stood tall in the area. There were a lot of them, and if anyone counted them, they would find that there were 18 of them.
The arrival of Su Ming and the others instantly caught the attention of the people in the area due to the appearance of the puppet beast. Three of the patrolling people immediately flew into the air and charged towards the incoming puppet beast.
"Halt!" The three patrolling guards closed in quickly and stopped before the puppet beast. They looked at Su Ming and the others, and their eyes were cold and aloof. There was a faint hint of hostility in them as they swept their gazes across the puppet beast, as if they were observing it in detail.
One of them even looked towards Zi Che first, then he brought out a beast skin scroll from his bosom and opened it to read through it.
"Western Sea Clan's auction hall welcomes Zi Che from the second summit of Freezing Sky Tribe. You must also be Miss Bai Su from the seventh summit." The person examining the beast skin scroll lifted his head and a smile appeared on his face. He wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards Zi Che and Bai Su. As he spoke, his gaze swept past Su Ming, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
Zi Che narrowed his eyes. He was not surprised that Western Sea Clan knew his name. This time, aside from the items being auctioned, there was another reason why the two great clans held a cross auction. It was to give them a chance to observe each other.
The other party would definitely have made detailed preparations before they came. It was only natural for them to recognize Zi Che and Bai Su.
"You flatter me. How should I address you?" Zi Che wrapped his fist in his palm and returned the greeting. With just one glance, he could tell that the person holding the beast skin was the leader of the three. That person was not weak and was around the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm.
The two people beside him were in the early stage of the Transcendence Realm.
"I don't have much of a reputation in Western Sea Clan. Brother Zi Che, you won't be too interested in knowing about me. The auction will be held tomorrow. Brother Zi Che and Miss Bai Su, please come with me. I'll bring you to your lodgings to rest for a while." The man holding the beast skin smiled faintly. As he spoke, a glint appeared in his eyes and he looked towards Su Ming.
"But you look unfamiliar. If you don't have an invitation, you can't step into this place." As he spoke, the expressions of the two people beside him turned even colder and they looked towards Su Ming.
Zi Che frowned and took a step forward. He was just about to speak when Su Ming opened his eyes.
Su Ming opened his eyes, and they were calm. He looked towards the three people in front of the puppet beast, then lifted his right hand and swung it in the air. Immediately, the invitation turned into a long arc and flew towards the person holding the beast skin.
That invitation was too quick. As it flew out, it stirred up a whistling sound as if it had sliced through the air, causing the expression of the man holding the beast skin to change. He quickly retreated, but before he could even take two steps back, the invitation had already closed in on the center of his brows. It did not stop for even a single moment, and by the looks of it, it wanted to pierce through the center of his brows.
Just as the man holding the beast skin's pupils shrank and he retreated, a powerful presence erupted forth from his body. Black mist surrounded his body and turned into an armor that was slightly similar to Su Ming's Divine General Armor, but the details were different.
Even so, that armor was still the true Divine General Armor. The instant it appeared, a mighty pressure spread out, causing the man's hair to move without wind, but there was still shock on his face.
Because the invitation suddenly stopped three inches away from the center of the man's brows even though it was traveling at such a high speed. It floated there unmoving, as if all the preparations the man holding the beast skin had made were completely useless. Even if he was not prepared, even if he just stood there without moving, the invitation would still not be able to harm him.
With a dark expression, he looked towards Su Ming, who was looking at him calmly from the puppet beast. The instant their gazes met in midair, a bang instantly rang out in the man's head. He staggered and took a few steps back.
All of this happened in an instant. It was so fast that the two companions beside him didn't even have time to react. Only now did anger appear on their faces, but they were also shocked by the speed of the invitation. It was an impact that shocked them to the core.
Zi Che was also shocked. He did not expect that this person who came as a normal person would be a Divine General. Either this person truly did not have any reputation in Western Sea Clan, or … he had intentionally hidden his identity and was secretly observing all the Freezing Sky Clan disciples who came to this place in the patrolling team.
It was a pity that he ran into Su Ming!
"This is the invitation," Su Ming said calmly, his words neither too fast nor too slow.
The man holding the beast skin's face was pale. After a moment of silence, he did not immediately take the invitation. Instead, he wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming.
"I am Ao Chen Tai of Western Sea Clan. How should I address you?"
"I am Su Ming of the ninth summit," Su Ming answered unhurriedly without hiding anything.
Ao Chen Tai's expression changed and he cast Su Ming a few scrutinizing glances. He was just about to speak when a middle-aged man walked out of one of the dozens of tents on the ground that were decorated with golden pictures. That man was dressed in a purple robe. His face was fair, and his eyes were like lightning. With one move, he stepped into the air, and before he even arrived, his laughter had already traveled into the air.
"I see, so you're from the ninth summit. Chen Tai, please leave. I will personally receive you from the ninth summit."
