Chapter 1315 - 1315: Arrival at the Beast Forest

At this moment, Liu Zixuan, who had just completed the tower challenge, had his state of mind significantly improved.

He viewed certain things far more thoroughly than ordinary people.

To be honest, be it ridicule or cold-eyed mockery.

Along this journey, he has nearly gone through every stage under the cold-eyed ridicule of others.

But what of it in the end?

Those who once looked down on Liu Zixuan can now only stand below and look up to him.

Those who once mocked him with sarcasm now all wish to curry favor with him.

Therefore, regarding such people saying such things and doing such things, Liu Zixuan doesn't care much anymore, as it only affects his state of mind and wastes his time.

After reprimanding Xiao Hu, Liu Zixuan patted his shoulder and then looked up at Long Tengyun and Ye Qinglian.

He smiled and said, "My brother speaks rather frankly, I hope you don't mind, and my words mean no harm. I just thought everyone could look out for each other. If you prefer not to travel with us, you can leave on your own. We should resolve the matter within the ruins as soon as possible."

Ye Qinglian glanced at Long Tengyun. Were it an ordinary day, they would likely have followed Liu Zixuan.

But now, perhaps they should really go their separate ways.

It's not because of Xiao Hu's few disdainful words, nor because they felt embarrassed to follow Liu Zixuan.

But because if they only live under Liu Zixuan's wings, they may never be able to catch up to him.

Since they chose the path of martial arts, they must face many things independently and truly transform and grow.

Then, Ye Qinglian expressed his thoughts.

Liu Zixuan was silent for a moment: "That's also fine, but be careful. Apart from the mountain ranges in the Northeast Region which you can't visit, other places should not be too dangerous. Of course, also be wary of those guys from various sects hiding in the shadows!"

"Alright."

Long Tengyun cupped his hands towards Liu Zixuan, "Young friend Zixuan, let's not say much more. When the journey within the ruins ends, we'll meet again outside."

Liu Zixuan nodded, then led his group towards the Southwest Region.

"Senior Sword Demon, do you know where the many strong members of the Alliance of the World are?"

On the way, Liu Zixuan asked.

"I encountered some just in front of the tower, but I already told them the situation you previously informed me about. Now they are divided into two groups, one is searching for Yafei and the others, while the other is dispersed in various places to find the scattered Star Sea Martial Artists," Sword Demon replied.

Liu Zixuan nodded: "That's very good, then let's head straight to the Southwest."

"It is certainly impossible to stop all martial artists from snatching treasures now. We can only prevent our enemies from growing strong as best as we can. As for the rest, we'll deal with it after we get out. Some unknown dangers exist in these ruins that are far beyond our capability to handle!"

Indeed, even within the tower, there appeared a strong expert of the Unity Realm; what about the other areas outside the tower?

Moreover, having traversed three areas already, there was still no sight of Jiang Yifan, let alone the mysterious expert who entered before them.

At this moment, how could Liu Zixuan possibly relax?

Now, only this side's region was left. The immediate dangers might be fewer, but the threats hiding in the shadows, launching secret assaults from time to time, will increasingly escalate.

"How about I take Zhao Yi ahead to scout the road?" said Sword Demon at this time.

"Let's just walk together. There's not much road left anyway!" laughed Xiao Hu.

Liu Zixuan pulled a smile at Xiao Hu and told Sword Demon, "Senior Sword Demon, then please trouble you to scout the road."

"Alright!" Sword Demon then quickened his pace with Zhao Yi.

Xiao Hu looked puzzled: "What's going on?"

"Didn't you notice? Sword Demon has been looking for a chance to chat privately with Zhao Yi about cultivation techniques. They are both masters who frequently use sword techniques, and surely have more common language!"

After listening to Liu Zixuan, Xiao Hu scratched his head: "They could talk here too!"

"And what, with you interrupting them from time to time?" Liu Zixuan rolled his eyes at Xiao Hu and then took Luo Xi's hand: "Let's stay away from this fool!"

"Brother Xuan, good thing you're not Jiang Yunxuan, or by what you just said, I'd make you cry!"

"Blow your blowing dead cow!" Liu Zixuan gave him the middle finger.

Xiao Hu sighed and turned to look at Xiao Hu: "Zhao Yi and Senior Sword Demon both play with swords, Brother Xuan and sister-in-law Luo Xi are showing love, we actually have something in common too, right!"

Xiao Hu shivered: "Why does this feel kind of gay!"

Xiao Hu gave Xiao Hu a sharp look and clapped his shoulder: "To hell with your gayness, our names both have Hu in them, we're the Double Tigers, truly invincible, right!"

"No, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers unless one is male and one is female. We're both men, so probably not invincible!" Xiao Hu pushed Xiao Hu away and walked forward alone.

Xiao Hu sighed, gazing at the setting sun, and sorrowfully muttered: "Jiang Yunxuan, oh no, Nicholas is the most handsome, suddenly I feel you're the best to me in this world!"

These words he said weren't disgusting to himself, but if Jiang Yunxuan were beside him, he would likely jump over two meters high and then kick this guy's mouth crooked!

About two hours later, the last trace of sunset faded into dim clouds that enveloped the sky.

The sky darkened thoroughly.

At this moment, Liu Zixuan had just reached the edge of the Southwest Region, which was the entrance to the Beast Forest as indicated on the map.

Looking at Zhao Yi and Sword Demon waiting ahead, Liu Zixuan and the others hurried over.

Zhao Yi turned and said, "There's some danger ahead. Just now, Sword Demon and I went ahead and encountered more than a couple of fierce beasts. It seems the further in, the more beasts. I think we should rest here today, at least it's slightly safer outside."

Liu Zixuan nodded: "Right, according to the map, this is the entrance to the Beast Forest, marked as increasingly dangerous as you go deeper."

"Can't we avoid it?" Luo Xi asked.

"No, the passage to the other region is at the very end of the Beast Forest, and apart from the Beast Forest, there's also a Ghost Marsh, which we need to pass through. Given the time of day, we should rest here. I'll go with Xiao Hu to find something to eat, Senior Sword Demon, you keep them safe, and find a place to rest."

Sword Demon said, hearing that: "Very well, I'll also set up some defenses against the fierce beasts. Ever since we came here, there's been a sense of unease. Hurry back quickly. If you encounter enemies, don't engage too long, avoiding falling into an enemy's 'lure the tiger away from the mountain' plot."
