Mo Xie had been traveling for hours now and couldn't even get a proper sleep. He's still inside the vast forest that surrounded the Sword Demon Mountain.
"Hmmm... If I retained my previous Soul Sea... could it be..." (Mo Xie.)
"Little Red!" As soon as Mo Xie spoke, a long thing suddenly came out of his body.
"Master!" It is none other than little red.
Little Red felt a little happy at this moment, if Mo Xie didn't call out to him and completely forgotten him, he'll be unable to do anything until Mo Xie dies.
"Oh, you've already reached the Sky Shattering rank and is in the middle stage?" (Mo Xie.)
Little Red blushed a bit but didn't want to show it himself, so he looks like someone that has a very weird expression.
"Then... Soul Weapon, Lightning Feathered Blade bow!" As soon as Mo Xie summoned, a soul armament immediately wrapped around his arms.
"So they are all here." Mo Xie spoke with a smile, he then suddenly had a thought; [Could it be that I am merely in the same World but different location?]
"No... these thoughts should be left for later." Mo Xie said as he looked at little red: "I will have to change your name again."
Hearing this, little red felt happy: "Of course Master."
"Have you already decided to come with me?" (Mo Xie)
"Yes." Little Red replied without even hesitating for a bit.
"You've been together with me for the longest, I will try to make you ascend to a higher realm if I had a chance, the place where none of your predecessors has managed to climb to since the beginning of time." Mo Xie spoke, if he couldn't be someone that ascends to the peak, he could at least try to make those around him stronger.
"Your name from now on will be Zhuding." (Mo Xie)
"Thank you, master," Zhuding replied happiness is written all over his face.
"Well, finding you a mating partner would be good too, right?" Mo Xie spoke as he teased Zhuding.
"Let's fly, Zhuding!" (Mo Xie)
"Yes! Master!" Zhuding immediately increased in size as he started to soar in the sky, hovering in the air as he looked down on the ground.
"That's great!" Mo Xie smiled as he jumped at Zhuding's back; "Let's go now!"
"Yes!"
The two of them immediately continued their travel and are heading towards the Vermillion Sona Kingdom. Unlike humans that had reached Sky Shattering rank, Zhuding belongs to the flying dragon species which in term increases his speed in flight.
Just a couple more minutes, Mo Xie and Zhuding finally managed to get out of the forest, slowly, the environment is turning into that of a desert, the greeneries are becoming lesser and lesser.
In their way out, Mo Xie and Zhuding saw a lot of a few corpses on their way, some had already turned into a skeleton, some had recently been killed.
"They must be killed by either a demon beast or other people, huh." Mo Xie spoke, no matter where traveling to a distant place away from home always carries danger.
"That would be the least of my master's worries." Zhuding spoke.
Mo Xie chuckles, but after a while, they saw a few people killing each other.
"Hmm?" Mo Xie looked at the events unfolding in front of him, at first, the one surrounding them that seemed to be rogue cultivators are firing at the ones on the carriage, but as soon as the people inside moved out, all of them scampered away.
"Master, the one that got out of the carriage is a peak stage Sky Shattering rank Coralist." Little Red spoke.
With a nod, Mo Xie sighed, if the enemies are too strong, the bandits immediately flee without any pretense, the way of the rogue cultivators, they have no background to protect, hence, they can act as shameless as they can be.
Just with a few hundred miles that they had traveled, Mo Xie saw a lot of battles taking place, although a lot of them are when rogue cultivators won, Mo Xie couldn't care less.
After a while more, They are finally closing in on the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom.
"Master, we're arriving." At this moment, Zhuding's voice sounded.
Mo Xie looked at the distance and saw a huge kingdom, there are cultivators flying everywhere, although the distance between him and the kingdom is actually a few hundred miles away, still, they'd need to take precaution, after all, with Mo Xie's current power, they wouldn't be able to escape a clash if there are people.
Mo Xie immediately sealed his cultivation level, it's better to seal it rather than boasting that he's a useless bronze rank cultivator, it might also seem for people to actually not see his cultivation while he's traveling with Zhuding.
At least they would think that someone riding a dragon is a powerful expert.
Mo Xie then saw another group of people fighting, but this time, there seems to be something different.
There are actually more experts are the Sky Shattering rank, both the group has the equal number of them, both possessing 30 each.
"This is not a random fight between bandits and people... but what do I care, I can't really do anything about it." After speaking, Mo Xie sighed as he spoke to Zhuding.
"Let's hide over at the mountains over there, I will walk myself to the Kingdom." (Mo Xie)
"Yes." Zhuding immediately increased his phase.
At this moment, the experts on the ground noticed Zhuding's presence, and of course, they also saw Mo Xie who's sitting cross-legged on his head.
Each group observed each other, is this their reinforcement? They tried to pry Mo Xie's cultivation, but they couldn't even detect anything.
"A mortal riding a demon beast at the Sky Shattering rank?" One of the experts spoke.
"No, it must be an expert at a higher rank that we couldn't pry his cultivation level." One of his comrades replied.
"Who's side is he on?" Both groups spoke, and hearing this, they immediately figured out that this expert is only a pa.s.serby.
Zhuding pa.s.sed them like they didn't even exist.
"Expert, please aid us, we're from the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom!"
"Expert! Please!"
"We're being chased by the enemies from another kingdom!"
"We plead for your help!"
But seeing Zhuding increasing the distance between them growing further, they continued to clash with the enemies.
"Retreat!" (Vermilion Sonata's people.)
"Fend them off while the rest escape!" (Vermilion Sonata's People.)
"Hmmp! As if we'll let you leave this place alive!" (Other Kingdom.)
The fight between them intensifies, as the people chasing the Vermilion Sonata Kingdom's people uses their greatest powers.
But with powers equally clas.h.i.+ng, the two groups are on a standstill, neither can retreat nor kill one another.
But at this time, something happened.
_Swoooosh~_ A piercing noise sounded, the experts upped their guard to prevent anything from happening, they then glanced at the direction the sound is coming from and saw an object approaching the people from another kingdom.
"What's that..." (Other Kingdom.)
Closer and closer, the object can almost be seen clearly, but when it got closer to a point that the naked eye can see, all of them spoke.
"An... An Arrow?" (Both parties exclaimed.)
The arrow is aimed at one of the weakest Sky Shattering ranked expert, he saw it and immediately frowned; "Belittling me?! Using an arrow to attack me?!"
He howled as he grabs it with his bare hand, and as soon as he caught it, the other people from the other kingdom's experts sneered.
"That's the aid that you requested, now, let's finish this!" (Other Kingdom.)
The experts from the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom were in a state of confusion and anger, if they used the time that the arrow was coming, they could've at least taken one out.
They didn't blame the expert, after all, they could've taken one of them by that small interval yet they watched everything unfold without doing anything.
But just at this moment, one of the experts from the foreign kingdom spoke: "What happened to you? Why aren't you moving?"
