In Lost Stone Forest, a black silhouette stood in front of a stone house that was hollowed out.
It was a tall and sturdy black-clad young man with a cold expression. His black clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look elegant.
"Tian Wu, I'll bring you to see my Master."
The black-clad young man was none other than Emperor Wu's direct disciple in Lost Stone Forest, Zhou Yi.
At this moment, he was talking to the stone house in front of him.
The Master that Zhou Yi mentioned was the owner of Lost Stone Forest, Emperor Wu, Shi Qi.
The person in the stone house with its door tightly shut in front of Zhou Yi was the red-clad lady who followed him back from Ling Tian Sect's Ling Tian Peak, Feng Tianwu.
Along the way, Feng Tian Wu did not mention her name to Zhou Yi. She did not even speak to Zhou Yi. She maintained her silence.
She remained silent until a few days after they arrived at Lost Stone Forest.
The reason Zhou Yi knew Feng Tianwu's name was because Gold Thug and Xiong Quan had called her Miss Tian Wu when they were at Ling Tian Peak in Ling Tian Sect.
"Tian Wu is not a name you can call."
As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, an extremely cold voice resonated from the stone house.
"I only know your name is Tian Wu."
Zhou Yi smiled faintly and said, "Tian Wu, you're not a demon, but you possess such a cultivation base at such a young age. Your innate talent is really rare … I've already asked Master to take you in as his direct disciple if he's satisfied with your innate talent."
Emperor Wu's direct disciple!
At this moment, the stone house fell silent.
"After I become his direct disciple, will I be able to leave Lost Stone Forest without abiding by the Ten Year Promise?"
A moment later, the cold voice resonated from the stone house again.
"Since you've become Master's direct disciple, naturally, you should stay in Lost Stone Forest to cultivate. You can only leave when you've cultivated to the peak of the Martial Monarch Stage and possess sufficient ability … This is the rule that Master set."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Master has no other intention in setting such a rule. He's just worried that his direct disciples would suffer a loss and embarrass him when they leave."
"Not interested."
The cold voice rang out once again, filled with a tone that kept people at a thousand miles away.
Not interested?
The words that came out of the stone house were Feng Tianwu's words. Zhou Yi couldn't help but be startled.
Was there anyone who wasn't interested in becoming Emperor Wu's personal disciple?
"Tian Wu, I hope you can consider this carefully … Not everyone can become Emperor Wu's direct disciple. I also spent a lot of effort to convince Master to agree to confirm your talent. If possible, he will directly accept you as his personal disciple. "
Zhou Yi advised patiently.
However, although he seemed to be patient on the surface, the depths of his eyes were filled with indifference.
He spent a lot of effort to convince his master, Emperor Wu Shi Qi, to agree to confirm Feng Tianwu's innate talent. Naturally, he did not purely want to help Feng Tianwu and make Feng Tianwu his master's direct disciple.
Putting aside the fact that his master might not take a liking to Feng Tianwu, even if he did, he would do everything he could to prevent Feng Tianwu from becoming Emperor Wu's direct disciple.
This was because he did not really want Feng Tianwu to become his master's direct disciple.
After all, once Feng Tianwu became his master's direct disciple, she would become his junior sister and be on equal footing with him. There would be no need for her to be wary of him, let alone agree to become his woman.
He only did this because he wanted to make Feng Tianwu feel touched and grateful to him.
In his eyes.
Emperor Wu's direct disciple was actually just a bait for the mermaid, Feng Tianwu, to take the bait.
He wanted to use this to ease the conflict between him and Feng Tianwu.
If it was a normal martial artist, they would undoubtedly be overjoyed if they knew that they had the chance to become Emperor Wu's direct disciple.
If there was someone who recommended them, they would definitely be extremely grateful to the person who recommended them.
This was the effect he wanted.
However, it did not cross his mind that the woman in the stone house had no interest in becoming a Martial Emperor's direct disciple at all.
This was completely out of his expectations and disrupted his plan.
For a moment, he felt powerless. He realized that the breakthrough he thought of to ease his relationship with Feng Tianwu was useless.
However, he was still a little unwilling.
It was precisely because of this that he patiently persuaded Feng Tianwu.
"Scram!"
However, when he patiently persuaded her outside the stone house, what he received was Feng Tianwu's extremely cold 'scram'. It caused his face to turn green and white.
At once, he narrowed his eyes as a cold gleam flashed in them. His expression turned extremely gloomy.
He, Zhou Yi, was Emperor Wu's direct disciple in Lost Stone Forest. He was also Emperor Wu's favorite direct disciple. When had he ever been given the cold shoulder like this before? When had he ever been treated like this before?
He was enraged. He felt like his heart was filled with rage.
However, when the figure of the woman in the stone house appeared in his mind, the gloomy expression on his face disappeared and was replaced with indifference.
"Tian Wu, I'll take my leave first … I'll visit you another day."
Zhou Yi took a deep breath and suppressed his anger before he turned around and left.
The moment he turned around, his face turned gloomy again. His eyes were filled with extreme coldness.
"Ten years … If you don't accept me, I'll destroy you even if I can't kill that Duan Lingtian! If I, Zhou Yi, can't have a woman, no one else can! "
Zhou Yi muttered to himself as he flew away.
At the same time, his expression was extremely grave.
He had already spoken to his master, Emperor Wu, Shi Qi. However, he was stood up by Feng Tianwu. He could imagine how he would be scolded later.
This was because he was Emperor Wu's favorite direct disciple. If it was another direct disciple who stood up Shi Qi's Emperor Wu, apart from being scolded, he would definitely be punished.
Although the stone house in Lost Stone Forest was formed by hollowing out a huge rock, it was extremely clean and tidy. Every corner looked as though it had been cut by a knife or sword. It looked very smooth.
The stone house's furnishings were simple. Apart from a square stone bed, there was nothing else.
At this moment, a red-clad lady was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.
The red-clad lady looked to be in her early twenties. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. She exuded a cold aura that could save someone from a thousand miles away.
In addition to the slight frown on her face, she looked like an ice beauty who was wrapped in fire.
The 'fire' she was referring to was naturally the red dress she was wearing. It was a red dress that looked like a burning flame.
"Elder Brother Duan, now … Have you returned to the Ling Tian Sect?"
It was unknown when, but the red-clad woman slowly opened her pair of enchanting autumn eyes as she muttered in a low voice. Her voice was filled with dependence and longing for Duan Ling Tian.
Ever since she lost her memory, she had always been by Duan Lingtian's side. This was the first time she had left Duan Lingtian for so long.
She was panicking.
Ten years.
She was not sure if her Elder Brother Duan would be able to raise his cultivation base and have the ability to save her from Lost Stone Forest within ten years.
After all, there was an Emperor Wu powerhouse in Lost Stone Forest. He was also Zhou Yi's master.
She was originally full of confidence in her Elder Brother Duan. However, she gradually calmed down after coming to Lost Stone Forest.
It was extremely difficult for a Martial Monarch powerhouse to break through to the Emperor Wu Stage.
There were not many Emperor Wu powerhouses on Cloud Continent. There were not more than ten of them that were publicly known.
There were even Martial Monarch powerhouses who had comprehended six or seven Monarch Stage Profundities to the Ninth Level, but they still could not break through to the Emperor Wu Stage.
Based on this, one could see how difficult it was to break through to the Emperor Wu Stage.
Although her Elder Brother Duan had an extraordinary innate talent that was far from what an ordinary person could compare to, it was still difficult for him to become one of the few Emperor Wu powerhouses on Cloud Continent that were publicly known.
Due to this reason, she was not sure if her Elder Brother Duan could save her in ten years.
"If Elder Brother Duan can't save me, then I'll have to wait for ten years before I can see him again."
When Feng Tianwu thought about how she would only be able to see the man who had haunted her dreams after ten years, she felt a pang in her heart.
It was her first time feeling this way ever since she lost her memory.
Ten years was neither too long nor too short.
However, to Feng Tian Wu, the days in Lost Stone Forest were as long as a year.
If it was possible, she did not want to stay here for even a second longer.
Time passed by quietly.
Almost a month had passed in just a blink of an eye.
On this day, an uninvited guest arrived outside Lost Stone Forest. It was a travel-worn purple-clad young man who came from the southeast.
The purple-clad young man looked to be about twenty-five years old. He had dashing eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was extraordinarily handsome.
Just his handsome appearance alone was enough to attract countless women.
"So this is Lost Stone Forest?"
The purple-clad young man muttered softly as he looked at the stone forest in front of him. His eyes gleamed fiercely as though they could spit fire.
This purple-clad young man was none other than Duan Lingtian who had rushed all the way here from Ling Tian Sect's Ling Tian Peak!
"These Inscription Formations … Most of them are Illusory Formations."
Duan Lingtian's eyes were like torches. He could see through the stone forest in front of him with just a glance. There were many Inscription Formations in the stone forest. Most of them were Illusory Formations, but there were also a few Killing Formations.
Duan Lingtian could see that.
Most of these Inscription Formations were created by Martial Monarch Stage Inscription Masters. A few of the Killing Formations were created by Emperor Wu Stage Inscription Masters.
"That Emperor Wu Shi Qi is not an Inscription Master."
Based on this, it was easy for Duan Lingtian to figure this out.
If Emperor Wu Shi Qi was an Inscription Master, it was impossible for him to not personally set up Inscription Formations in his lair.
After all, the Inscription Formations set up by Emperor Wu Stage Inscription Masters were not something a Martial Monarch Stage Inscription Master could compare to.
