According to their understanding, Xiao Yang was just a businessman from the Bai family. Later on, he became an odd-job disciple in the Sky Sect and was only recently promoted to an outer sect disciple. As for his ability to control fire, he had never shown it before.
Xiao Yang seemed to have something that was hard to say, and his expression was a little forced.
At this time, Zhan Ruxue stood up and explained to Xiao Yang, "Junior Bai is from the Bai family. He used to squander and had the Heavenly Fire, but it was snatched away. Junior Bai also knows how to refine pills. If you need any pills, you can look for him."
Wow.
"Junior Bai, you're so awesome? You even know how to refine pills. "
"That's unbelievable. We've underestimated you, Junior Bai."
"Junior Bai, you're really good at hiding things."
The crowd immediately went into an uproar. Sounds of shock and praise came out, full of disbelief.
Xiao Yang had done them a favor. In addition, they had been together for a long time. Naturally, they would not doubt Xiao Yang, not to mention Zhan Ruxue's explanation.
Everyone's expressions made Xiao Yang feel a little embarrassed. He touched his nose shyly and chuckled, feeling a little proud.
After everyone joked around for a while, Zhan Ruxue finally opened his mouth and said, "Alright, it's all thanks to Junior Bai this time. We've obtained the Positioning Stone and resolved the crisis. Let's return to Reclamation Village to rest."
The group returned to Reclamation Village.
After walking for half a day, it was already evening. Fortunately, they managed to rush back before the sky turned dark.
They successfully entered Reclamation Village and settled down in a simple hostel to replenish their resources.
"We'll stay here for the night. Everyone, be vigilant outside. Take turns to keep watch to avoid any accidents. Also, rest well. Tomorrow morning, we'll head to the north of the Five-colored Ice Mountain, the entrance of the Ghost Region, and strengthen the seal. I believe that after tomorrow's hard work, our mission will be completed. "
Zhan Ruxue said slowly.
When everyone heard this, they also laughed out loud.
Along the way, they had experienced all kinds of dangers and suffered all kinds of hardships. Now that the mission was about to be completed, they all breathed a sigh of relief. There was also a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in their hearts.
Xiao Yang was also smiling, but his heart was filled with bitterness and reluctance.
The reason he had come to the Sky Sect was to rescue his master's wife, Ling Long. Now that he had found the last piece of teleportation material, the positioning stone, the next task was not essential to him. As long as he returned to the Sky Sect, he could set up the teleportation matrix and then take his master's wife, Ling Long. At this point, his task in the Sky Sect would be completed.
Of course, now that everyone was so united and had such a deep friendship, Xiao Yang also treated them as friends. Naturally, he would not give up on the mission halfway, nor would he openly hurt them.
He already had an idea of what to do next.
"In order to make Brother Zhan and the others not sad, I had to pretend to be dead at the entrance of the Ghost Domain, and then get rid of the identity of Bai Xiaochun."
Xiao Yang thought to himself.
Perhaps this was the best way to leave.
The Sky Sect's people had always hated the Poison Sect's people, and the Poison Sect's people hated the Sky Sect's people as well. This was a historical grudge between the two sides.
Especially someone like Xiao Yang, who had repeatedly humiliated the Sky Sect's disciples. Wu Hua, Liu Pinghong, Wang Kaixuan, and the others who had represented the Sky Sect in the competition, had all been bullied and hurt by Xiao Yang. Every one of them hated Xiao Yang to the bone and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The enmity between the two sects also had something to do with education.
Once Xiao Yang exposed his true identity to Zhan Ruxue and the others, they would definitely cut off all ties with each other. They would no longer be friends. Zhan Ruxue and the others would fight for the sect and kill Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang would also thoroughly offend the Sky Sect for the sake of his master's wife, and even everyone in the sect.
From the very beginning, the two sides were destined to be enemies.
Thus, he could not reveal his identity and could only hibernate.
"After this mission, we'll meet again in the jianghu."
Xiao Yang thought to himself as he sighed emotionally.
He didn't want to hurt Zhan Ruxue and the others, but Zhan Ruxue and the others definitely didn't want to hurt Xiao Yang either. Thus, he couldn't reveal his true identity.
The night passed without a word. Silence reigned.
Dawn.
Zhan Ruxue, Xiao Yang, and the others woke up one after another. They all got up to wash up, eat breakfast, and set out.
Their goal was the back of the five-colored ice mountain, the entrance to the Ghost Realm, and strengthen the seal.
"Let's go."
Zhan Ruxue was still the leader. With a wave of his hand, he led the way.
The group was in high spirits as they headed for their destination.
At the entrance to the Ghost Realm.
Dozens of people had already set up an ambush on both sides of the mountain. Among them were hunters, fire-attribute beasts, mercenaries, and even members of the Liu Clan.
Among them were Patriarch Liu and Elder Liu.
During this period of time, the conflicts between the various factions in Flame City had been resolved. The four sides had let go of their previous grudges and worked together once again.
The Liu Clan hated Xiao Yang to the core. They didn't need to think to know that the internal strife between the four factions in Flame City was all Xiao Yang's doing. Although they didn't know who Xiao Yang was, they were one hundred percent sure that Xiao Yang was hiding in Zhan Ruxue's group.
They had received news from Wu Hua that Zhan Ruxue, Xiao Yang, and the others would head to the Ghost Realm's entrance to strengthen the seal. Thus, they had set up an ambush here.
"Listen up, we'd rather kill the wrong person than let them go. Once this matter is settled, we'll all have a chance to join the Sky Sect with Wu Hua and the Third Supremacy as our guarantor. As for the heavenly fire in their hands, whoever has the ability can take it. It'll belong to whoever gets it. "
Patriarch Liu shouted loudly, reminding the mercenaries, hunters, and fire-attribute beasts.
Everyone's eyes lit up, revealing greed and desire.
Zhan Ruxue, Xiao Yang, and the others still didn't know that the Ghost Realm's entrance had been ambushed. They all relaxed and leisurely walked over.
When they approached the Ghost Realm's entrance, Xiao Yang immediately sensed that something was wrong and felt that something wasn't right.
There were no ice beasts or ice demons in the surroundings. It was too strange. He didn't even see the figures of other mercenaries. This place could only be considered the outer region of the Five Coloured Ice Mountain. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a lack of cultivators, mercenaries, and other creatures in this area.
Xiao Yang couldn't help but release his Divine Sense. He easily saw Patriarch Liu, Elder Liu, Demon Hunters, Mercenaries, Fire Element Demon Beasts, and other ambushers. Xiao Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but stop.
"Brother Bai, what's wrong? The Ghost Realm's entrance is just ahead. "
Zhan Ruxue noticed Xiao Yang's movements and couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yang naturally couldn't directly reveal the other party's ambush because with the cultivation of a Sixth Stage Martial Master, he wouldn't be able to detect it.
He could only say worriedly, "Senior Brother Zhan, I feel that something is wrong. Look at the surrounding environment, everything is too abnormal."
Hearing this, everyone came over and looked around, but they couldn't see anything.
