Xiao Chenyu was passing through the territory of the Ye Family.
Ye Chenchen had been waiting along the road; the two old friends had not seen each other for less than half a month, yet it felt as if they had entered a completely different world.
Ye Chenchen stood with his hands behind his back on the ancient tree-lined path, while Xiao Chenyu sat silently in the horse-drawn carriage.
The two exchanged silent glances; after a long while, Ye Chenchen remained silent, his body flickered, and he suddenly disappeared.
Xiao Chenyu closed his eyes and quietly said, "Let’s go!"
After so many years of friendship, they had not spoken a single word! Not even a sound transmission.
Just by staring at each other for a moment, they understood everything about one another.
Ye Chenchen returned to the Ye Family, and Xiao Chenyu continued on his way; everything was calm.
Ye Chenchen had come to persuade Xiao Chenyu to return, but with one glance, he sensed Xiao Chenyu's firm resolve to never go back, making any words unnecessary.
…
At this moment, amidst the swirling snow in the northwest, a battle was unfolding.
The Law Sovereign stood atop the snowy cliff, his black robe billowing in the wind, his long black hair parted down the middle, and his gaze carried a hint of sharpness amidst his calm contemplation.
He could sense that the fierce presence behind him was getting closer.
Ever since he had slightly revealed some of his spiritual perception to help Diwu Qingrou, the Law Sovereign knew that he had been targeted. And he also knew who this person was.
Wuzhuo City!
The Law Sovereign had only one choice: to evade!
His significant task remained incomplete.
Even if he faced the Fengyue Couple simultaneously, the Law Sovereign was confident he could defeat them; however, against this person, he had no assurance whatsoever.
For nearly a month, they had played a game of hide and seek, one pursuing and the other evading.
But now, the Law Sovereign would no longer hide.
During this past month, he had refined his spirit through the tremendous pressure from his opponent, absorbed the Heavenly Repair Jade within him, and now he had reached a state of perfection!
He had broken through the last step!
The current Law Sovereign was essentially complete. He no longer feared anyone! Furthermore, after such a sudden breakthrough, he was eager to confirm his strength!
And in this situation, Wuzhuo City was the perfect candidate!
He stood with his hands behind his back, his black clothes, black robe, and black hair all danced in the snowstorm, ready to fly into the air!
The heavy, dense snow fell, yet none touched him; a mysterious force gently repelled the snow several feet away from his body, scattering it far away.
Although his expression was plain, the aura around him soared, exuding absolute confidence!
No one in the world could obstruct his overwhelming confidence!
The snowstorm suddenly intensified, and a white figure abruptly appeared twenty feet in front of the Law Sovereign in the void. This person seemed to merge with the wind and snow, standing with his hands behind his back in mid-air, faintly gazing at the Law Sovereign.
Neither spoke.
They simply stared at each other, both having a faint smile at the corners of their mouths.
Snowflakes within a hundred miles shattered completely.
After a long while, the Law Sovereign smiled softly, "You’ve come?"
As he spoke, his aura suddenly retracted, and he lightly flew back twenty feet as if weightless.
He voluntarily made space for the other.
Wuzhuo City did not step forward but merely smiled faintly, "You're no longer fleeing?"
The Law Sovereign smiled lightly, "Why should I flee?"
Wuzhuo City’s body swooped forward, crossing the twenty feet of void, standing firm on the cliff: "Why?"
Wuzhuo City's question seemed somewhat nonsensical, but the Law Sovereign understood his meaning and replied, "For myself."
Wuzhuo City shook his head faintly, a smile appearing on his lips, then suddenly laughed heartily towards the sky, "Indeed! Indeed! If one does not act for oneself, heaven will punish them! This reason is truly splendid!"
