"I have to enter the Tower of Radiance no matter what," Jianchen secretly made up his mind.
The Snowfall Peak was not far away from the Soaring Clouds Peak. There were only three mountains between them.
On this day, three middle-aged men in the attire of Radiant Saint Masters arrived outside the Snowfall Peak. They smiled as they hovered there. One of them said, "Zhou Yuan, your old friends have come to visit. I wonder if it's convenient for you."
The three middle-aged men were the lords of a peak in the Radiant Saint Hall. They all possessed seven-colored soulcores.
In the past, there was no need for them to report when they came to visit the lord of the Snowfall Peak. They could directly climb the mountain.
But now, the lord of the Snowfall Peak, Zhou Yuan, had become one of the nine retainers of Donglin Yan Xue. It was extremely likely for him to enter the Tower of Radiance in the future, so his status was completely different from before. As a result, the three of them could not act as casually as before when they came to visit this time.
The three peak lords waited for a while, but they did not receive a reply from the lord of the Snowfall Peak, Zhou Yuan.
Instead, the first disciple of the Snowfall Peak, Zhao Mu, took the initiative to receive them.
Zhao Mu seemed to be a young man in his thirties. He was composed and possessed some talent. He had only cultivated for around two thousand years, yet he already possessed a four-colored soulcore. He had comprehended the Laws of the Hallowed when he had a three-colored soulcore, so he was the disciple that the lord of the Snowfall Peak was most proud of.
"Greetings to the three peak lords. You've come at a bad time. Teacher isn't on the Snowfall Peak right now," Zhao Mu clasped his fist politely.
"What? Zhou Yuan isn't on the Snowfall Peak? Then where has he gone? "The three peak lords were surprised.
Zhao Mu hesitated when he heard that.
He said, "In a few days, it will be the competition between the Chosen Saints. Teacher is currently preparing for the competition, so he has already left the Radiant Saint Hall to buy some saint artifacts that can increase his strength."
"If that's the case, we won't disturb you any longer. Let's go!"
The three peak lords were disappointed when they heard that. They did not climb the Snowfall Peak anymore, turning around and leaving.
After the three of them left, a figure quietly walked out of the dense clouds in the distance. This person looked to be in his twenties, but his appearance was ordinary and there was nothing outstanding about him.
He was Jianchen, who had disguised himself as Chang Yang.
"The lord of the Snowfall Peak has actually left the Radiant Saint Hall …" Jianchen stared at the Snowfall Peak from very far away. He did not use the senses of his soul. Instead, he used his great senses to hear every single word that Zhao Mu and the three peak lords said.
"That's good!" A fierce look flashed in Jianchen's eyes. In the next moment, his figure once again hid in the clouds and disappeared. It was as if he had never appeared, and no one could find a trace of him.
Afterwards, Jianchen concealed his presence and did not register himself in the External Affairs Hall. He avoided everyone and left the Radiant Saint Hall without anyone knowing.
With his current level of cultivation, if he really did not want to be discovered, even if there was a Divine King in the Foreign Affairs Hall, no one would be able to detect his whereabouts. Thus, no one knew of his departure this time.
After leaving the Radiant Saint Hall, Jianchen continued to conceal himself. He continued on his way, and when he was several hundred thousand kilometres away from the Radiant Saint Hall, he vanished into a forest with a flash.
A moment later, when he reappeared, he was already dressed in black, and his appearance had undergone an earth-shattering change. He disguised himself as an abnormally tall and sturdy burly man who was over two meters tall with a ferocious look on his face.
No one would be able to connect him to the slender Radiant Saint Master from before when they saw his figure.
"Although the lord of the Snowfall Peak has left, no one knows where he has gone with how large the Desolate Plane is. As a result, I can only wait for him on the path he must take to return to the Radiant Saint Hall." Jianchen looked into the distance. His gaze was extremely sharp as it radiated with soul-stirring killing intent.
"This time, I can't let the lord of the Snowfall Peak leave the Radiant Saint Hall alive!" Jianchen thought. Afterwards, he pushed off with his feet. As the Laws of Strength revolved around him, he shot off like an arrow, as a black streak of light. He shot off into the distance with lightning speed, disappearing into the horizon in a single instance.
In the end, Jianchen stopped when he was sufficiently far away from the Radiant Saint Hall.
After that, he found a secluded place. He carefully concealed his aura and quietly waited for the rabbit to appear.
This was a place he had to take to return to the Radiant Saint Hall. No matter where the lord of the Snowfall Peak went, he would definitely pass by this place as soon as he returned.
Jianchen waited for three days.
Three days later, in a bustling city closest to the Radiant Saint Hall, the lord of the Snowfall Peak, Zhou Yuan, appeared on the teleportation formation in his white robes. He walked out of the teleportation formation excitedly, and without any hesitation, he immediately rose into the air with Radiant Saint Hall. He hurried towards the headquarters of the Radiant Saint Hall.
"This trip has been worth it. It really has been worth it. It really hasn't been for nothing. Although I've basically spent all my savings over the years, it's all worth it now that I've bought that item."
"With that item, my battle prowess is no weaker than those with a mid seven-colored soulcore. Although my cultivation is the weakest among the nine of us, as long as I use that item, my battle prowess will probably be enough to make it into the top three …"
The lord of the Snowfall Peak was extremely excited. He had indeed benefited greatly from this trip. It was enough for him to stand out in the competition between the Chosen Saint and become a rather famous figure. Everyone would know about him.
This was a great honour to the lord of the Snowfall Peak.
Glory, to him, was the beginning of a beautiful future.
The lord of the Snowfall Peak left the city very soon. He flew high in the sky with Radiant Saint Hall. There were no teleportation formations for him to use for the rest of the journey, so he could only fly slowly.
However, just as the peak master of the Snowfall Peak was flying over a barren mountain, a black figure suddenly soared into the sky from below, directly blocking his path.
"Sir, who are you? Why have you blocked my path? "The lord of the Snowfall Peak came to a halt. He frowned impatiently.
He was in a hurry to return to the Radiant Saint Hall right now so that he could make his final preparations for the competition between the Chosen Saint. He did not want to waste any time when every second mattered.
"Zhou Yuan, have you forgotten me so quickly?"
The person who had stopped Zhou Yuan was Jianchen, who had changed his appearance and disguised himself as a burly man. He stared at Zhou Yuan and sneered. His gaze became extremely sharp at that moment.
The lord of the Snowfall Peak was filled with doubt because he did not recognise the black-robed man before him at all. However, when he saw the man's sharp gaze, his heart actually skipped a beat. He felt fearful, and he actually became rather afraid to meet the man's gaze.
"This gaze seems rather familiar," thought the lord of the Snowfall Peak. The peak master of the Snowfall Peak thought, but very soon, his body violently trembled. He immediately stared at the black-clothed man in disbelief. His heart churned as he cried out, "Y- you're …"
At this moment.
He finally understood who the familiar gaze came from. It was the gaze from Han Xin's second disciple, Chang Yang, after he defeated him.
Chang Yang clearly only had a one-colored soulcore, yet he had now transformed into a fighter who gave off the presence of a Divine King and was surrounded by the Laws of Strength. The lord of the Snowfall Peak became covered in cold sweat when he saw this. He was shocked.
He deeply understood what it meant to be both a fighter and a Radiant Saint Master.
However, before the lord of the Snowfall Peak could think too much about it, Jianchen struck out decisively. He directly sent a palm strike towards Zhou Yuan's head.
Not only did the palm strike contain the power of the thirteenth layer of the Chaotic Body, but it was also amplified by the Laws of Strength. As a result, even without using the Laws of the Sword, his palm strike possessed some might at the Primordial realm. It caused the air to explode as space trembled.
The lord of the Snowfall Peak's face changed drastically. He was unable to dodge the palm strike at all, nor was he able to react in time. All he could do was watch as Jianchen's hand rapidly approached him.
"Bang!"
Jianchen's hand landed on the lord of the Snowfall Peak's head without any hesitation. Not only did the terrifying power directly blow up the lord of the Snowfall Peak's head with the amplification of the Laws of Strength, but even his body was reduced to mush.
