Chapter 410: Soaking Naked in Public Bath (2/2)
Zhan Ziye froze for a moment, but was then immediately startled. ”You mean, without the token, he managed to sneak in all the way here?”
”... Yes,” Shaman said in a sinking voice, ”it was indeed an impressive lesson.”
While speaking, her facial expression turned even gloomier. She initially thought that Eternal Tree was impregnable, but now it has been proven to be full of flaws. If Shengjing Sect came again to attack her… she was far from being completely secure.
The look on Zhan Ziye's face was also completely unsightly.
w.a.n.g Lu's amazing defense capability was already well-known. At present, amongst the cultivators who were on the same generation as him, except for Qiong Hua and a handful of other people, n.o.body had the confidence to be able to break his sword defense, even his own thunder body. However, he had never heard of him having any other specialties like in spell casting. Besides his defense, he was just a normal inner court disciple. However, now it seemed like he had amazing attainments in stealth.
Moreover, this was not even the key issue. As a cultivator that was excellent at defense, what was the point of him learning stealth? The two were completely not matched! Therefore, logically, this could only be explained with: w.a.n.g Lu's attainment in spell casting and his overall level were far above the initial a.s.sessment!
”d.a.m.n, how much stronger is that guy going to be…”
To face with the increasingly stronger w.a.n.g Lu alone, he was afraid that it was not enough, and in this world, the one that could help him...
Zhan Ziye turned to Shaman. His blazing eyes made the woman tremble.

”There's nothing to do here anymore… It's time for me to leave.”
After leaving the Eternal Tree, w.a.n.g Lu greeted Lan who had been waiting for him under the tree and walked away side by side.
Lan somewhat strangely looked at w.a.n.g Lu. ”You came all the way here just to return the token given by the Sacred Leaf?”
w.a.n.g Lu said, ”In any case, it won't be useful anymore, so I might as well give it back… Moreover, there is a tracking spell in that token, so it makes me very uncomfortable to hold it.”
”Oh.” Upon listening to this explanation, the young woman nodded and no longer asked.
”I also wanted to use this opportunity to see what those two people have been doing in the meantime. Although in terms of strength, this Zhan Ziye is not the strongest, and his worldly knowledge is also barely pa.s.sable, but among his peers, no one can be his match in terms of academic research ability. If Zhan Ziye could use his intellect towards the inheritance of Eternal Tree, then the master of wood spirit would obtain a boost, becoming an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.”
Lan asked, ”In that case, wouldn't it be very dangerous?”
Seeing that w.a.n.g Lu somewhat curiously looked at her, Lan said, ”They are our enemies, if the enemies become strong, of course it's dangerous.”
For this master of Grey Mountain, it was as if everything in this world could easily be divided. In A Ye's residence, she had received the full hospitality of the two husband and wife, but when she turned her face, an enemy was still an enemy.
However, this kind of temperament was really to w.a.n.g Lu's liking. For a professional like him, sentimentality was really troublesome.
”It is indeed very dangerous, so I deliberately came to take a look at them. And well, after seeing them, I had nothing to worry about. This Master-follower duo in some aspects are naive and cute, so there's no need for me to make my move. When the time comes, they would break down without a fight.”
”Oh.”
”Right now, the key issue is Flaming Valley. How long can this barbarian kingdom persist after Golden City allocates more than eighty percent of their energy to deal with them?”
While speaking, w.a.n.g Lu's complexion turned serious.
The real key to this five spirits power struggle was now in Flaming Valley. Were it not for Zhan Ziye's tactic of urging the tiger to swallow the wolf so that Flaming Valley rashly fought a war against Golden City, how could the other three forces be at ease?
However, no matter what, Flaming Valley was not as strong as Golden City, so the question now, how long could Flaming Valley persist in this all out war?
—
”Right now, presumably in everyone's calculation, we would end up losing.”
On the barren scorched land north of Harmony River, there was a towering mountain. Although it was not as indomitable as the Eternal Tree, the mountain peak still reached into the cloud. On the mountain, there was a fire that hasn't been extinguished for thousands of years. Legend has it that in the past, this was the death place of an ancient G.o.d, and its anger would forever not be extinguished.
At the peak of the mountain, a huge red creature bathed in the lava. That creature was humanoid, but its joints have bony outgrowth and its fangs were visible outside, which showed how ferocious its appearance was. The boiling lava that could melt everything was actually treated like a warm water by it; he happily soaked in it.
”Golden City has already long been the dominant force in this world, and everyone has already been accustomed to it. Without even thinking, they immediately decide that they are invincible. No one dares to challenge its throne, and even sneers at other challengers. However, no one knows that the state of affairs has actually changed, nothing is eternal in this world.”
While speaking, that huge man propped himself up with his hands, standing up in the middle of the lava, exposing his flaming red naked skin. The lava flowed down on his chest, showing his strong and indestructible body.
”Let the world see the true power of Flaming Valley. My follower, you will become the commander of the crack troops army. All of my crack troops and warriors are at your beck and call. Do not disappoint me.”
”Yes!”
Next to that pool of lava, there was a young man with short black hair and a serious look who responded with a straight ramrod posture. On his left cheek, there was an x-shaped scar, which added a bit vicissitudes to the still youthful countenance. And the eyes that only a warrior could possess were flas.h.i.+ng with lights that could palpitate the heart.
