After entering the shop, the handsome young man, Su Ming, walked quickly towards its interior, where a bald elder bearing a thundercloud mark between his eyes quietly sat cross-legged .
“Master,” Su Ming greeted him respectfully .
“Elder Lei Xin,” the two guards also addressed him courteously .
Lei Xin nodded to them, and turned his eyes on Su Ming . “Where have you been?”
“I’ve just been wandering the streets nearby, Master,” Su Ming answered with a forced smile .
Lei Xin’s face abruptly darkened . “Humph, I’ve warned you several times not to stay out of my sight for this period, but have you actually been listening?” he reprimanded Su Ming coldly .
Su Ming frowned and argued, “Master, it’s just Jian Wushuang . This is Cercis Island . Unless he is a fool, he would know the consequences of fighting on the island . Furthermore, I have two Protectors with me . He doesn’t have the ability to kill me even if he finds me . ”
“There’s still a risk . Lei Yan told me that although Jian Wushuang may only be a Divine Realm expert, his strength is so extraordinary that even he, an expert at Step Three of the Eternal Realm, was frightened . If Jian Wushuang does try to assassinate you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to escape,” Lei Xin said in a deep tone .
“A Divine Realm expert had frightened an expert at Step Three of the Eternal Realm? Do you really believe that, Master?” Su Ming sneered .
Lei Xin squinted and looked, deep in thought .
The gap between the Divine Realm and the Eternal Realm was huge .
It was impressive for a Divine Realm expert to match an ordinary Eternal Realm expert . Such a Divine Realm expert could be regarded as the strongest Divine Realm expert .
It was almost impossible for a Divine Realm expert to be stronger than an expert at Step Three of the Eternal Realm .
In any case, Lei Xin had never seen or even heard of such a mighty expert before .
“It’s always wise to play safe,” Lei Xin told Su Ming gravely . He glanced at the two guards beside Su Ming and ordered, “You two have to follow him closely . ”
“Yes, Elder Lei Xin, rest assured . We will stay close to Master Su Ming,” one of the two guards promised .
“Good,” Lei Xin nodded and turned to Su Ming . “Always take with you the thing I gave you . Never remove it or put it in your Interspatial Ring . If you are really in danger, it could save your life . ”
“I got it, Master,” Su Ming nodded deferentially .
“You can leave now,” Lei Xin said and waved them away . Su Ming and his two guards left immediately .
The bald elder Lei Xin continued to sit there quietly as he watched Su Ming’s retreating figure . He shook his head silently .
Lei Xin was born without any family . He grew up alone in adversity, joined the Universal Thunder Sect and eventually became the Sect Master . He had always been alone, with no master or disciple .
The opportunity he had left in the Ancient World had been obtained by Su Ming . The latter, like him, was a man who would do anything to attain his goal . Therefore, he had accepted Su Ming as his disciple .
It was not easy for him to get a disciple so he valued Su Ming very much .
After leaving Lei Xin, Su Ming and his two guards emerged from the shop and walked to the next street .
Jian Wushuang had been watching them from the tavern in silence . He had no intention of taking action .
“The Sect Master Lei Xin really treasures his disciple . He actually arranged for two Eternal Realm experts to be Su Ming’s guards . Hmph, he deserves to be one of the Guest Elders of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion,” Jian Wushuang’s lips were pressed into a thin smile . He continued to drink in solitude .
He had read Lei Xin’s information carefully .
When Lei Xin had left the Firmament Territory, he had only been at Step Four of the Eternal Realm . As he wandered, his strength had grown . Now, he was at Step Five of the Eternal Realm, and had even broken through to the top of this step . In a nutshell, he was extremely powerful .
Most importantly, Lei Xin was a Guest Elder of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion .
The Heavenly Cloud Pavilion was a force to be reckoned with in Cercis Island .
On this island, the most exalted one was surely the Lord of Cercis Island and his Cercis Army .
In addition to the Lord of Cercis Island, there were six forces that were entrenched on Cercis Island .
All the six forces were under the command of the lord . Usually, they operated as separate entities . They had a long history and were very strong . They were said to have Dao Masters’ as their backers .
And the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion was one of the six forces .
As a Guest Elder of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion, Lei Xin had an extraordinary position in the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion . He now ran nearly a third of the shops belonging to them .
“Su Ming’s Master is not just an expert at the peak of Step Five of the Eternal Realm, but also a Guest Elder of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion . And Su Ming is protected by two Eternal Realm guards . We’re also on Cercis Island, so I’d have a lot of trouble killing him,” Jian Wushuang’s eyes were narrowed, but he didn’t look anxious at all .
“Well, l’ll leave him alone for now . I’ll go to the Blood Battle Arena first and try to get a Cercis Token . I have the privilege of killing people on this island only with a Cercis Token . ”
With this in mind, Jian Wushuang emptied his cup, and then checked out before leaving the tavern .
The Blood Battle Arena was at the very center of Cercis Island and was situated underground .
When Jian Wushuang arrived at the Blood Battle Arena, the scene of madness before him took his breath away .
Jian Wushuang had been to a similar place in the Ancient World . He was a teenager at the time, and he had gone to the Gladiator arena to participate in duels to get more Spirit-cultivating Pills . The Gladiator arena also looked pretty crazy, but was nothing compared to the Blood Battle Arena .
The vast underground world had a radius of thousands of kilometers .
There were numerous seats, in which more than a million people sat, screaming wildly . But these people didn’t even fill a tenth of the seats in this underground world .
There were two huge arenas in the middle of the underground world . A fierce battle was currently taking place in one .
“Wow, wow, wow!!!”
“Oh, yes, fight!!!”
The exclamations, screams and howls drowned out the fighting at the arena .
“That’s really crazy!”
Jian Wushuang was shocked at the scene . He took a seat and watched the fight in the arena .
The two fighters were clearly superior Divine Realm experts and both were formidable .
