75 Chapter 75 Splitting at the Foot of the Mountain (1/2)

His eyes sharpened, the vital energy in his body slowly gathering. Just as he was about to strike out, he suddenly saw Xinran's body blocking in front of him. Soul power charged out as she reached out with her hands and coldly spat, ”Back off!”

Her jade-like five fingers suddenly opened. A small yellow talisman appeared there. A strong repelling force forced that winged rat backwards.

In the next moment, a martial cultivator cleanly killed it in one swordstroke.

”How dangerous! We kept talking and nearly forgot that this is Blood Valley.”

Looking at that winged rat being cut up into minced meat, Gong Xinran patted her chest in fear. She looked around, ”Senior Brother Gao, are you a little tired? Why not retire first and rest up. Although my ancestor left some treasures, we don't have to risk our lives.”

Gao Yi at the front smiled bitterly. He turned around and looked over apologetically, ”It's okay, it was just a moment of carelessness. We still can handle most Grade Three beasts. That flying rat was too cunning and we weren't on our guard.”

Zong Shou's eyes turned slightly cold, looking at Gao Yi with a dark expression.

Was it just carelessness, what had happened just now? With his peak martial cultivation in his last life, even when he spoke he wouldn't give up awaeness of the surrounding environment. That winged rat had charged across at such a coincidental time. It wasn't that the nearby Mythic Masters couldn't stop it.

Half a day ago, he already felt that the way Gao Yi and the others were looking at him wasn't right. At that time, he thought that he was thinking too much into it, just following them along. After all Gantian Mountain and Dragon Spirit Mountain were so far away from one another and didn't have any conflict of interests, so he felt that he had misjudged it.

Only now was he sure that this Gao Yi was filled with killing intent towards him! He just didn't know what the reason was.

The two of them didn't have any grievances, and if he said that it was jealousy because of Gong Xinran's protection, then it didn't make any sense. His senior sister only treated him as a little brother. With his identity and character, he shouldn't have a reason to treat a publicly humiliated failure like that.

Was it because of Xinran's ancestor's belongings? But this Gao Yi was the Young Master of the Dragon Spirit City Gao Family, so what things couldn't he get? A Day Wandering Realm spirit master, no matter how precious the items he had on him were, three thousand years had passed. Was there a need to kill him before he got those items?

The doubts and questions in his heart grew stronger and stronger, but he couldn't get an answer. Zong Shou didn't dare to be careless anymore; if it happened once it would definitely happen another time. He focused and took out some medicine, quietly rubbing it onto his body.

He then took out a few thin pieces of fur as well as silver needles for drawing talismans and stabbed them into the sides of his ears and his temple.

Instantly his listening and visual abilities grew greatly. His previous vision range was only around five thousand feet while now he could see everything within ten thousand feet.

The noises he could hear were similarly increased by ten times, just like that day when he opened up his soul ocean. All the movements and actions of the beasts around, even the movement of the wind, were all picked up by him.

Originally it was to perceive the environment and not be plotted against. But when Zong Shou blocked off some of the useless noises, he heard a few of them talking.

”Unfortunately… Young Master, that person… spoiled it!”

”Damn it! … Why did you act on your own accord!? His identity, if he dies at our hands...we won't be able to wash our hands of it..”

”...That girl likes him, forget it! Don't care… Gantian Mountain Prince… would die anyways, he's trash, so what if he knows?”

”But that thing… is really important… the fewer people know the better…”

”The matter is simple… wait until we all get out… there were people prepared behind… even that person should have come..”

The voices were muddy and hard to pick up. Even when using lip reading he was unable to understand totally. The fierce glows in the eyes of the six Mythic Masters made Zong Shou's heart sink even further.

Just as he wanted to listen in more, those people had stopped talking. On Gao Yi's face, it was a gentle and warm smile, such that they couldn't see any abnormality.

A killing intent rose in his heart, lasting for a short while before he forcibly suppressed it.
